????????????? ????? ??? ???-???
Korean Drama
2016/Comedy
Watch:Viki & Amazon Prime

This is a comedy, coming of age and slice of life drama. Really enjoyed the layers and the stories. I know I'm watching a good drama when I try to pace my watch time so it won't end. The acting was fantastic and the writing was great! I will be looking up more of their work.
This show does have flaws that I'll mention below. That being said the part that stands out is the way they wrote mentle health. It was done respectfully and naturally. There's a part where I had rewind it multiple times because my tears blurred my vision, so I couldn't read the subtitles. I can't put into words how impressed I was by that scene. This is the first drama where I have seen charcters not only mention but go to therapy. Where they get the help they need and have a support system. That's the number one reason this show is getting a post and is rewatch worthy in my book. This is first a comedy but it does have heart and you might have some tears while watching.

?What I liked:
*The leads are friends in real life so the chemistry was 100% natural and believable.
*I was invested in all the charcters and their lives. Never felt bored or wanting to skip around. That's really rare at least in my watching experience.
*The friendships!
*Mental health representation.

?What I did not like:
*Language I watched it on Viki and they filter it out. So I didn't see it as much but I don't know if thats the same with Amazon Prime.

*The physical abuse, by the family, friends and coaches. Some of it gets addressed but very poorly. This is an "old" drama made in 2016 and I have noticed the newier ones do this better. DM me if you want specific examples.

Agatha Christie meets KDrama

??????? ??????? + ?????? ??????=???: ?????? ??? ????.

Imagine being able to go back in time and redo the last year. What would you change and what do you really have control over?
10 people make the trip and after "fixing" their lives they start dying one by one.
I was pleasantly surprised by 365, from the writing to the acting and the way it had me engaged from episode one!

Pros:
☆No Romance!
You heard right this show has no Romance at all! We are not stopping the story to think "Who likes me?"? No, instead the characters are focusing on finding answers because someone is killing them off! Thank you writers!

☆Smart writing and smart characters!The twists and turns in this show are so brilliantly executed. When reveals happen you noticed the clues have always been there!

☆ I don't remember reading any bad language they use the word murderer, killer, psychopath and that was it. Unless I missed it or it was edited out with Viki.

☆The acting!
Everyone did a wounderful job especially that one murder scene. No spoilers just that looked very uncomfortable and the actor did amazingly! The make up crew, the extras, the leads in that scene!??????
(Everything was PG13)

☆The ending was perfect for the story and I loved it! Made me really want to go back and reread a bunch of Agatha Christie?

Cons: None I really don't have any.

⚠️Content Warnings⚠️
(PG13)

Serial Killer

Fantastic!!!

"The law is imperfect justice. But when you teach law, the law must be perfect. And when you study law, it must be synonymous with justice. Because unjust law is the most cruel violence."
-Law School

I can hear the theme song playing now!
Wow this show was amazing! It is currently seating as one of my top three favorite shows.

Law school is about a prestigious school in Korea. In the first episode while being in the middle of a mock trial one of the professors is murdered. We follow two law professors and their students as they solve the case.

In Law School you can find....

+Relatable characters
+Supportive Friendships
+Inspiration Fight for justice
+Suspense
+Best Ending
+Great soundtrack
+Amazing Chemistry ???

There is no romance in this drama the writers could have easily added it but decided against it. Hope that's not considered a spoiler.

This show also touches on heavy topics like domestic violence and suicide.
In my personal opinion the actors and writes did great job being respectful when the subjects came up.
Sadly dramas, books and other forms of media STILL romanticizes abuse. Which is disturbing and disrespectful. Law School is not one of them, the opposite actually.
I really appreciated this and I know I'm not alone.

If you like shows about justice and law I would highly recommend giving this one a try. Law School /2021/Netflix (PG13) TV14

⚠️Trigger Warnings ⚠️
+Some Language
+Suicide
+Murder
+Domestic violence
+Mention of sexual assult
(law case)

rewatch? YES!!!

Fun Fluffy Watch

So I Married an Anti-fan
Chinese Movie
2016
Amazon Prime & Viki

A kpop star and his anti fan both get stuck filming a show tilted So Married an Anti Fan.

If you want a fluffy over the top rom com I would recommend this movie. This one was originally a webtoon and later turned into this movie and currently a Korean drama. Yes I'm watching it and it's a popcorn show! Review coming when it ends this month, it's currently airing.

Now while watching the movie I noticed the male leads singing voice sounded familiar. Well Chanyeol is a singer and part of a Korean pop and Chinese pop group called EXO. They just realsesd their comeback album today and it'sso good!

He also sings some of my favorite songs. I have all three on replay while driving, cleaning, walking you name it!

♡Yours by Chanyeol & Raiden
(Remix is great too)
♡Stay With Me by Chanyeol & Punch
♡Don't Fight The Feeling by EXO
(Came out today, last slide is part of the MV)

Contemporary Crime Drama

Stranger
K-Drama
Ep 32
Two Seasons
PG-13

I like Contemporary stories and Crime / Murder mystery so when I heard this was a mix of both I was excited!

Sadly it was just okay for me.

This show had great actors and 97% of them played morally grey characters. The only exception were the leads!
Let's do some pros & cons

Pros:
◇The acting
◇How it wasn't as dark and gory as it could be ? (Definitely PG-13)
◇The Leads

Cons:
◇It felt like it dragged at times
◇The plot twists were okay
◇The writing at times
◇Wanted more friendship & chemistry

Over all I am happy I watched this show. Would I recommend? If you like slow crime dramas then yes, if you like fast past thriller type then maybe not.

Rewatch? No

Fast Paced Legal Drama

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️? (9.5 /10)
Bad Prosecutor
2022
12 ep
PG13
?:Viki & HiTV

PROS:
◇The comedy
◇Chemistry

◇Fast healing charcters would get really hurt and then 24 hours or days later be fine. Like fighting & everything! ? You do need to expand your disbelief with that one.
◇Some use of strong language where I watched it they did censor it out but still.

Over all really enjoyed this one will 100% rewatch in a year or two!
Great crime Korean drama & it got me out of my slump!

Binge watched this whole show in three days and it was fantastic! Was this show perfect? No but it was close?

What I liked ??

~Captain Ri aka Jung Hyuk men, talk about loyalty! The friendship is beautiful and they will do anything for each other. Just loved those boys! The respect and devotion of all the men just written so well. They deserve the world♡♡♡

~The story is so unique and just really pulled emotions out of me. Romance, Action, comedy and family drama. Just such a great mix of it all.

~Last but not least the realtionship between the leads. Respect, sweet, funny at times and they apologized when they missed up. It was just refreshing seeing a clean, good and healthy relationship in a drama❤

What I did not like ??

~The main bad guy was a very cartoon villian. We never really see the reason why, just because and didn't love that.

~The ending was to chill....that's all I will say cuz spoilers.

~The B Plot, just didn't really care much for them. It happens?

Content:
Some language

Truly a Hidden Gem

"A kind-hearted nurse working in psychiatry goes above and beyond to be a daily dose of sunshine for those under her care despite the challenges coming her way."

A hidden gem that touches on one extremely important topic. I wish everyone would watch it subbed or dubbed it really doesn't matter. Just please watch it when you're in the right head space for it.

Watched it just for Yang Yang

Thus is a perfect reason why I don't like watching dramas (Chinese or Korean) before 2019. They usually have tropes that I'm not the biggest fan off ?


PROS:
◇Yang Yang
◇Yang Yang
◇Yang Yang


CONS:
◇Acting was awkward at times, especially with hugs & kisses
◇THE CGI LOOKED OLDER THEN 2016 (more like Spy Kids ?)
◇So corny at times
◇The plot was okay


I can see how it can be a comfort watch to some, but sadly, it's not for me. I also watched this in 2023 and not when aired. Honestly, I picked it up just for Yang Yang & wanting to watch all his projects.
