Lovely Kdrama

Its such a calming kdrama..watch it when you're feeling low or in need of an escape. This show will make you want to escape just like the main character. It makes you intrigued and makes you wonder just how much can your life change if you do one thing thats huge and out of the ordinary. Will your life change for the better? Will you regret it? Who will you meet.. will you meet someone who will change you? Waahh.. all I have is good review for this kdrama. Though some episodes can be slow paced and a bit boring but i swear they quickly make up for it. Also another great Siwan role!

Watch when bored

Its one of those feel good kdramas tbh. It didn't leave a strong mark on me after I finished and I honestly already forgot what the kdrama was about. It does get interesting at times but this is also one of those kdramas where you just have to have patience to get through. I didn't hate it though! I think the characters are very likeable and I like how romance didn't play a big part but it was still subtly there. If you're bored and just wanna start a kdrama for the sake of it then this is the one! Its not that hard to follow although you kinda forget what the plot is throughout it, and it ends with a sort of an open ending. You don't know if the main character ends up with the main lead or the second lead. I'm glad they left it like this!!

Comfort Kdrama

Okay to be fair, I am a bit biased towards this kdrama since I followed it before the episodes aired AND I read the Webtoon version as well. BUT! The show does bring out a beautiful story about self love and self image and how loving yourself before loving anyone else should always be your priority. I'd call this kdrama a feel good kdrama because really everything goes well for the main character in the end (Which aheemmm it might be a little unrealistic but she did go through a lot of shit so she deserves it!!) But also another thing i'm so mad about is how poorly they treated seojun in here. As an avid TB Webtoon reader, seojun and jukyung were each others first everything and that got practically erased in the show. I got really mad and was very disappointed when their first kiss never happened! Not even jukyung reciprocrating his feelings!? Thats just low...But I digress! Its a good show to watch when you're feeling low but do beware the second lead syndrome will hit HARD.

Whats so special about it?

Its gotten so popular out of nowhere and I assume its because of its great cast but this kdrama was such a drag and bore throughout most of the episodes. I guess you really have to love these characters to enjoy most of its episodes but I just couldn't bring myself to find anything interesting. I do admit though that at the end of the episodes like the last few episodes roped me in and I really enjoyed it! So I guess I enjoyed their adult years more than when their story spoke about their teen years which was most of the show...I also found the main characters' relationship weird mostly because of when they met she was underage and he was older. I think those two would've remained best if they always stayed as friends and I'm glad they didn't end up together in the end because there was simply no chemistry between them, in my opinion.

Prepare to cry

I started this because of an edit I watched on tiktok. I saw park boyoung play as a depressed character and i just knew i had to watch it. Her acting is top tier especially when it comes to expressing negative emotions.

The show is honestly a rollercoaster. I cried each episode and it lowkey reminded me of Tomorrow kdrama. Whenever there’s kdramas that center around mental illnesses or suicide I know it’s going to be one of the best shows but it’s going to make my heart ache each episode.

I loved all of the characters and their development although some episodes seemed too good to be true like, quitting and getting a dream job just like that or social anxiety getting lowkey erased. I understand the characters had a development to get to that point but as someone who has social anxiety all of that seemed just too good to be true to me.

This show also made me realise just how scary it is to put a name to an emotion that is actually mental illness. It’s insane how quickly people avoid you and view you differently just for having a mental illness…I don’t know if i’ll ever have courage to get a proper diagnosis but this show showed that it wouldn’t be too bad or scary if i did.

Really well done. I recommend it but be aware that this show shows self harm scars and self harm happening (which was a bit hard for me to watch) the show is a bit gory with some scenes so if you’re sensitive, do go into this show with caution.

Amnesia trope but actually done well

To be honest I wasn’t expecting much from this K-Drama when I first started it. I don’t think I was planning on watching this when it started promoting, but I was looking for something new since I was bored, and this just happened to be there at the exact time I needed it.

I have no complaints about this K-Drama really. I’m not a big crier when I watch media, but this K-Drama tugged on my heartstrings so much. My biggest enemy is the death trope and this whole show made me get thousands of heart attacks by making me think one of them is going to die.

The love story between the main characters was so beautifully done. From the beginning on how they fell in love, to how they fell out of love and then doing it all again, fighting through their rough patches. It was genuinely so well done.

Granted it was a little frustrating because the couple kept misunderstanding each other and the entire time i would scream “just say it!!!”. Some of those scenes were a little too frustrating to watch, but it was worth it in the end.

I’m not the biggest fan of amnesia plots but this one was a little different since it wasn’t only centred around her losing memories but more so of the process of her losing them until ultimately doing so.

The actors had such an amazing chemistry between each other, I honestly loved them as a couple and I rooted for them throughout the show! Since I’m usually a huge second lead lover, this time the second lead had zerooo chances against the ML. The ML and FL were truly made for each other.

And also, I kinda dislike the constant “they met each other before when they were kids” storylines, almost every K-Drama has this nowadays, c’mon now!! Let’s be original and leave this trope alone!! And not only did the ML meet her when he was a kid but so did the second lead LOL its just stupid really. Second lead made sense but the ML meeting her two times in the past? Yeah alright…

And another thing I wanted to comment on is how well they hid the advertisement in their show. Usually they’re super noticeable in K-Dramas. When they whip out Kopiko and eat it with the dialogue following it like “Hm I definitely woke up from this!”, In queen of tears the way they implemented ads in there was barely noticeable which is why I got so immersed into the story. Although I did notice the blatant Subway advertising LOL.

All in all, this K-Drama had a lot of twist and turns, its a lot- and I probably missed out on a lot what I wanted to say because there’s just so many storylines and plots going on in there, but it keeps you entertained and engaged. Sometimes it would have boring scenes but they pass by fast and are followed up with interesting ones right after. Its well done, I loved it.

Keep in mind its a very heavy K-Drama, and if you’re very sensitive, this K-Drama will definitely make you cry!!

AGHHHH

MAN I LOVED THIS SHOW!!

It was funny as hell and interesting each episode! When I first started it i didn’t expect much and honestly i started it because of Han Jimin since she’s one of my favourite actresses!😭 But really this kdrama is SO worth it. Each episode filled with mystery and comedy, My Liberation Notes and 2521 were preferenced and I loved it so much it was hilarious!!!😭😭😭 Really this show has action, mystery and comedy and it’s executed so well! As someone who followed this story as the episodes were getting released, I was always excited for the new episode. AND the OST is amazing!!! The song is in my playlist now!!! Must watch really! And I can’t stop emphasising how funny the show was, they really got a laugh out of me each episode!

But honestly there is ONE thing I was a little iffy about and it’s how Yebun let the whole ‘my mother was murdered’ situation slide so easily. I get that the murderer died but still…

and also about seonwoo’s mother who disappeared! I’m so sad that he never got to find out!!! but on another note, I think everything else was perfect! Love it !!

Beautiful movie

I started this movie because of the edits I saw on tiktok and it’s safe to say I wasn’t disappointed at all!

The love story build up between the main characters is beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time. From their first kiss to their love confession, everything was just so beautiful.

I loved how angsty their love story is the most, there was so much unsurety between them but both of them knew that they liked each other, even that boss in the end could tell they loved each other so much…

I was going to be very mad if they didn’t end up together but thankfully their love won!!!

Beautiful story!!

Well…

Okay I have to admit, I did watch this movie solely because people on tiktok always called it ‘the best korean movie’. I wanted to see for myself what the hype was all about..but honestly, I don’t really see what makes it so special?

The plot is completely incestuous and once that was revealed everything became uncomfortable. You can spare the whole ‘deep meaning’ behind it. I still think it’s a nasty movie lol…

Other than the plot, the acting was truly amazing though! You can tell these are veteran actors. I’m always in awe at how great actors could play such a terrible character.

Though Daesu didn’t know it was his daughter, I still think it was wrong of him to just continue the relationship blissfully.

I don’t know…i’ve got mixed feelings about this movie. I’m just left with a nasty feeling honestly.

Angst!!!

Honestly I wasn’t expecting this movie to be so short and have such an abrupt ending.

I think it definitely should’ve been a bit longer and the ending should’ve been more solid.

The story between the two main characters completely broke my heart, the fact that they both spent years yearning for each other and never getting together…

The tension between them whenever they were alone..I felt a bit guilty for the husband, he could tell his wife also felt something towards her childhood sweetheart.

Really broke my heart…even if the movie seemed short, it tugs on your heart. They both wanted each other but couldn’t. Heartbreaking and bittersweet. No matter who they end up marrying in the end, they will always have each other in each others hearts.

It’s an okay movie

I don’t often watch movies or shows that aren’t korean but i decided to switch it up today since it kept getting promoted on netflix.

The movie wasn’t BAD per say but it wasn’t that good either (in my opinion).

I feel like this movie was so exaggerated and so many things kept happening at once that I think at some point during the movie I just completely forgot what the main plot was or what the hell was happening at all😭.

Though i can’t lie it was extremely funny at times, some scenes had me giggling so it made it watchable.

The acting isn’t that bad either so that made it a bit more bearable as well.

Overall it isn’t something I would watch again but if you’re a fan of these type of movies or these actors then you might like it a lot.

On another note i’m glad I tried watching something else for once. Might’ve not been my cup of tea but I finished it so that counts for something!

Heavy watch

Honestly this movie will leave you extremely exhausted after finishing it. I remember watching this for the first time at night and it only made the experience realer, as if I was the one who was getting chased by a serial killer. It’s good and the actors’ great acting will suck you in on it and make it feel like you’re right there with the victim.

Though do beware that in this movie a lot of things happen at once, a lot of violence and emotional scenes. It feels as though you can’t even catch a breath for a moment. Everything happens in one day and it doesn’t let you to experience another day where you feel ease and catch a break- no, it ropes you in and it doesn’t let you go until the end.

So if you’re up for a very exhausting (yet good!) movie, then this is definitely it.

REALLY REALLY GOOD.

i recommend this to anyone who loves action mixed with comedy. because oh my god, there are so many scenes in here that will simply make you burst out laughing. the chemistry between the actors is just wow, chefs kiss! top tier actors, plot also reminded me of fight club lowkey, it was super funny and easy to get into.characters are so easy to like, romance isnt a primary factor in here which is probaby why i liked it so much because it mostly focused on K and ryu soolyeols friendship and how they eventually get along with each other and become badass.

the side plot where K falls for the girl is so hilarious though, i really enjoyed it...lol
