There is also nothing to actually review... but I *do* want to fight this girl. Lol STOP LYING TO HIM!
Just saying, -_-
Not even going to lie though, I watched it for Dori. I would watch a toilet paper commercial if he was in it. LOL don't @ me! We all have at least one person who we would watch in nearly anything.

Oh... Oh this is actually happening. You're here too?! I don't think a person on this planet hasn't heard or seen something about this show. Whether you know it or not... Well... here goes nothing.I wasn't ready!!!! I WASN'T FUCKING READY!!!! "Oh you came out the gate with profanity...." You're damn right I did!! What? .... What.....?!?! WHHHHHAAAATTTTTT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE NOW?!?!?! How can you.... I just.... *deep breath*
Okay let's start from the beginning.... I, (LIKE MANY OTHERS!!!!) saw this show and our first words were "There is no way this show is 50 episodes good"
Bro... (I call everyone this, chill) ------ I hate it here. The first 3 to 4 episodes, I had to get my roommate to take the remote from me because it was awful. I'm sorry. I spent roughly a month and a half trying to make it but always cut it off from episode 1 or 2. But, with the promise of MULTIPLE PEOPLE, "it gets soooo much better!!" These bitches.... knew my life was going to change looooong before I did. Because once I got past the cringe parts of the first few episodes, I wanted to fist fight time and sleep. I didn't want to stop. There are soooo many people who I relate to and they relate to me when we all agree this seems to be how everyone starts out with this show. "There's no way this can be 50 episodes good".... by episode 5, without even knowing the rest of the show we all say "well never mind" cuz it proved up HELLA wrong!
"I lost 50 pounds using Jenny Craig"
Biiiiiiitch I gained 200 pounds stress eating watching The Untamed and it was worth every moment. Lol
Okay that was dramatic but I swear if you see this show or have seen it, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
Y'all, this isn't even my kind of show. If you've known me long enough, I do NOT like historical dramas, movies, books, etc. Especially fantasy ones. They just... were never my thing. I could never get into them and they annoyed me because they all felt like cardboard cutouts. Always the same.
The Untamed called me by my full name and said "BET"
While it starts off extremely confusing, it does make sense later. It's the one thing I couldn't get passed and why other's needed to tell me to hang in there. I hate slow starts, I hate cringe, and I being confused more than any thing and how it starts off was all of those, so you can't blame me for shutting it off so many times.
Can we just talk about Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin) for a second though? This show is not short on villains at all. Every episode is a hell of a ride but this fucker... From episode 1 we see the kind of person he is. Even with all the bad guys, I still think I hate him the most. Yep Yep Yep -_-
Now can we talk about the loves of my life now? Because I can talk ALL DAY on these men!! They are *chef's kiss* THE FUCKING LOYALTY!!!!
If you don't love me like Lan Zhan loves Wei Wuxian, you don't love me at all. I want someone who looks at me like Lan Zhan looks at Wei Wuxian.
I said what I said and I'll say it again, WITH MY WHOLE CHEST!! While I know this story is *their* story, I really feel like the actors made it more powerful. I feel like if they had set anyone else in these characters, it wouldn't be nearly as powerful as it is with Sean Xiao and Wang Yi Bo. I won't apologize for feeling this way either. Their chemistry MADE this show what it is. No one can take their places. Lol I will scream this from the rooftops and can go on and on about them and how much Lan Zhan did for Wuxian (can't tell me that man doesn't love TF outta him).
Moving on!
Y'all... I'ma tell you my all time favorite characters. Wen Ning (Paul Yu) and Ah Qing (Chen Zhuo Xuan) -- they were clearly sie characters but they fully stole the show. Their parts no matter how small, they dominated the show.
I think I would actually fight someone for Wen Ning, and I'm not even kidding. The man is so adorable and pure. He just wanted to help. He didn't deserve all the bullshit he was put through. He didn't deserve to be left alone and on the outside all the time. Like, I get they were trying to "protect" him most of the time, but I personally would have kept him by me all the time and fought anyone that messed with him. Lol He is a soft badass marshmallow who should be protected at all costs. Lol
Now about A-Qing, her part was so freaking small but she stole the show hands down.
She was so damn precious!!! I wanted more screen time for her. Lol She was one of those rare characters that even though they were annoying af, you can't help but to love them to death. Chen Zhuo Xuan played her in such a way that years from now on your deathbed, I'm sure you'll remember her..... or maybe that's just me. But she will stick even harder after you find out her story. Bruh, I fucking cried. That's the one spoiler I will give. I fucking cried.
Now there were many other characters I loved and disliked but I realize this is turning into it's own mini book and if you have stuck around this long, I thank you. If you haven't seen this -- please give it a shot. It really is amazing. Everything is amazing. The characters, actors, music, settings, just. roguherguherouhbgeriuhbirluevhieruhguer UGHHHH I LOVE IT!!!! lol
If you have seen this.... please fangirl with me.
That being said though, fuck you Xue Yang!! I hate you! You psychotic dick! Even if you ARE hot...
Also before I go I want to talk about that ending. I can't NOT talk about it. Bruh... what the fuck happened in that temple? The "bad guy" can go fucking ROT somewhere, I don't give a damn about his history or anything when he tried the "sympathy" card (as he did through the whole show) -- he can eat shit. but at the very end the "WATCH OUT!!!" from that unexpected character... left me confused af. Was he not the coward everyone was? I loved him all through the show up till that point. Like... It totally left me mind blown and confused. It never gave us a clear answer either!!! So I'm just left looking at the screen like "holy shit, what just happened!?" and also left me wondering so much more. Like I feel like everything is a lie. Lol This is why I have trust issues!!!
Also sick of seeing Lan Zhan and Wei Wuxia parting ways, gosh damn it, if they don't just sit the fuck down and raise that kid, I'ma scream my head off.
Now I'm emotional all over again. I really will wrap this up now. Lol I'm sorry this is so long. I just have a ton of feelings. I'm sobbing that this is actually over. I wish it could go on forever lol. Like I'm glad but I miss them already. I want to forget it all and watch it again.... but I'll just remember and watch it again and again.... and again.... and again. Lol
How did this show make YOU feel?

I loved this show so freaking much! I want to give it a 10. In my heart and soul this show is a 10! but I took half a star because I'm greedy for more and there is no more. lol I didn't want this show to end. It was so cute.
I admit, because I have watched a lot of dramas, I stayed stressed watching this. I kept waiting for that "shoe to drop" and all hell break loose that would leave all us fans a sobbing heap on the floor.... making us question why we put ourselves through this. But I'm here to calm you down and tell you -- this show is safe! Don't stress!
Horimiya is a show I feel like everyone needs to see at least once. It started out a bit slow but picked up so fast it was like rolling down hill. Once you start, you don't want to stop.
I think my favorite thing about this show was how much character growth their was. It's so beautiful to see so many characters grow and go from hardly knowing each other to ending up being best friends and more.
I loved how in some scenes he was talking to his old self and there is just something about it that made me smile and feel a million emotions at once. There was just something about these scenes alone that really made the show for me.
I'll probably update this more later when I sort my thoughts.

Interesting enough though, this show kept me hooked from start to finish -- for the wrong reasons. I feel like the more I got into the show, the less I cared about the characters because I really just wanted to see justice, because let's face the cold truth here, everyone minus maybe 3 people, did Seol completely wrong and dirty.
The story was really interesting, there is no way I'll say it wasn't. While it was your typical drama, it did have it's uniqueness in it's own way. I also really loved everyone's acting in this show except Sung Kyung (In Ha) don't come at me, I love her acting....in other things but in this show I felt like she was extremely over dramatic and walked like a zombie half the time and when she stood she reminded me of a Monster High doll. Remember how they used to be bent weird like something was wrong with their spines? Lol That is what she reminded me of.
I hated probably 98% of the characters. I loved Seol and her 2 friends, --oh, and her brother. That's it. I wish more friendships where like that though. No matter what she went through they were always there for her... even the small bit when they were mad at each other. Lol Those kinds of friendships are so rare.
Everyone else can fuck off though. For me my most hated characters were probably In Ha, Stalker Boy, and lazy drunk bitch. I don't care enough to remember their names... and I say that with my whole chest. oh and add on that snobby little bitch she had class with. lol Ol crusty musty ass.
ANYWAY!!! back to the review.
Everything about this show was left open and I hate hate hate hate HATE open endings. This took it to a whole new level though. Because everything was left open. Characters were there then suddenly they weren't? People were with others and just nothing was explained? I get that this was adapted from a webtoon, but that doesn't mean you should leave out information. Lol Especially since these characters were there since episode one. By episode 10 you shouldn't be like "okay well.... we just don't need you anymore" that's not how that works. Lol I mean I'm glad to see them gone but because there was no information on how or where they went, It kinda stressed me out always looking for them because I expected them to come and fuck shit up some more. cuz you know.... fuck happiness? Lol
Speaking of happiness... what kind of damn ending was that? What kind of main character treatment was that? You do on and on about people are using her and she needs to put a stop to it -- then you proceed to use her in manipulative ways. and let's not forget any time she was attacked, somehow it was her fault and if it wasn't her fault they made it super clear they she shouldn't hold it against ol-pwoor-pwiddful-widdle *insert someone's name, there's a list to choose from at this point*. Like wow, okay - she ended up physically injured how many times but still, she should forgive them? All while saying she needs to stop putting up with people's bullshit.
Geez the more I go on about about this the more I want to take away stars. So I better stop here.
All in all, yes the acting was good, the story, while hole-y like swiss cheese, was good. i just wanted more justice. I wanted actual ending.

But can we just take a moment to be shocked that it took me so long to watch a zombie movie? Me? Putting off a zombie movie. Even I can't justify that. I'M MAD THAT I DID! This movie was AMAZING!!! Even the parts I hated! lol though given, without those parts, there wouldn't be much "OOMPH!" to the storyline.
During the first 15 minutes, I was really shocked things were going so fast and really thought "wow, this movie is short. It's about to end soon I'm sure?" only to look and see the movie is dang near two hours long, it left me mind-boggled like "how the hell are they going to fill up the rest?
Only for that midmark to hit and everyone start acting stupid with Jjong Bi. I can't tell you HOW FREAKING PISSED OFF THESE PARTS MADE ME!!! Like I get it, he's a zombie. But I guess because I have seen Warm Bodies (that's what this movie reminded me of) that I was a bit soft for Jjong Bi. Let's face it, he wasn't exactly "normal zombie" so you knew something had to be up.
But I'm glad that once everything chilled out - moods changed. So this movie really did have me Laughing, pissed off, curious, sad, happy --- in that order. Lol
I was not expecting that ending at all and I'm very thankful for that ending. Especially with the incorporated humor. If anyone has this sitting in there watch list. I say you should watch this movie as soon as possible. It's worth it!
I feel like fans of Warm Bodies will REALLY love this movie as well.

....WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!??!
I feel like I have been mind fucked... yet... don't? Ya'll... I have no words right now but I am going to try? So let me get this out of the way, the movie was bad ass. Holy crap I want everyone to see this movie and honestly with every horror movie lover, this needs to be on their list to watch ASAP!
Now..
In lies the issue I have as we all know was coming due to the missing stars. Lol Y'all know I hate open endings. I hate cliffhangers. Whoever came up with them should be throttled. I can't stand stories, shows, movies, etc that have no closure... Probably why I hate life so much, eh? Everyday is a cliffhanger. LOL!! Okay bad joke, sorry. But anyway.
I really loved this movie from the start. It doesn't start off with overloaded information and it also doesn't start off with complete action. yet in a weird way, it does. Which I like, I mean... What's to hate about that? But I have to admit I was so freaking confused at first (and we know how I feel about that. It pisses me off to no ends) but thankfully it explains everything fairly quickly. Which I have no problems with, in fact, I get why it took so long to lay that down - which is a good thing. Hats off to them.
What is so crazy though is the ghost. Usually things are pretty black and white you're either team good or team "evil" - in which I admit I have been team evil a few times because when you learn why a ghost is the way they are, you tend to sympathize. But this one... oof. It was TRICKY!! I'm still on the fence about it. Because she was plain dirty for that but in the same breath, he should be stomped for what he did. That was beyond cruel and messed up. So I really can't blame her there... Yet I mean she tried to pull some mess too. SEE!! It's a mess! oiwejfowihfow ANYWAY! This had been on my watch list for about two months now? I feel bad for not watching it sooner! Lol
The storyline was amazing but I feel like it could have used a little buffering out? Or maybe I blinked and missed some information that is needed to make sense of some things? That is another thing about this movie, you can't take your eyes off the screen because everything in this movie is important to the storyline and if you look away - you WILL miss something or some information that you need to know. Lol I feel like if I watch this movie again I will see some parts that I didn't see the first time. Lol Which I'm not mad at. I like movies that are like that... gives me a reason to watch them again... and again.... and again. Hahah
There is so much more I want to say about this movie but sadly I can't because I already feel like I have given to much away. Also, I do know this is a remake of a movie (I can't remember the original name though) I feel like I should hunt it down and watch and see if it has more information in it. I'll have to keep this one updated if I do. ^_^

But wkjfhwiruhgwri OMGGGGG!!!!!! Y'all this movie was so freaking amazing!!
When I say amazing, I mean I jumped.. a lot. I can honestly say this movie did NOT make jump-scares their main scare. I don't want to give anything away but ... I'm going to have nightmares. Also when I say I jumped, I mean I jumped so hard at one point I punched myself in the face. Spent the rest of the movie peeking through my fingers. I haven't done that since I was a kid!! If I continue to watch Chinese/Taiwanese movies, best bet this is going to be at the top the whole time. Other movies will have to compete with this movie. Lol I doubt any other could out-do this movie, but best bet, this is a challenge I am willing to take on! Stock me up on junk food and turn the lights off. It's about to go down! LOL.
I don't know much about the actors which is kinda new to me because I'm used to at least hearing about them but also adds to the freshness of this movie, they did such a great job that I know if I ever see them again I'll be like "ohhhh I know them!!!" Which makes me excited!
I feel like horror movies these days always tend to have like one actor/actress that tries way to hard but with this movie, I forgot it was a movie most of the time, which is hard to do! If I didn't look away from time to time, I'm pretty sure I would be traumatized right now because I would be thinking I went through all of that with them. Lol and when I say the acting was amazing... it leads me to the ending.... YOOOOO!!!!! I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT!!!! I fucking LOVE when a book or movie blows my freaking mind!!! I'm so used to being like "Oh I know what's going to happen next." hrliguharilughreiuge
THAT WASN'T THE CASE WITH THIS MOVIE!!! YES I'M SCREAMING!!! I CAN'T HELP IT!!! This movie just might be in my top 5 favorite horror movies. O_O
If you ever get a chance to watch this movie, DO IT!!! If you are looking for a great movie, storyline, thriller, horror, just watch this movie. I'll bet you won't be disappointed.

This is the first adult movie I have enjoyed in a while. I feel like all the movies i have seen lately fall under the "dry humor" category but this movie was just full of laughter for me. Lol I'm so glad one of my friends told me about this movie.I was really curious about it when she told me but when I clicked play, I was instantly hooked. It was full of my kind of humor. Lol I think the only thing I didn't like about this movie was her husband. He really pissed me off through the whole thing. From the start her wants sex (of course) but she says no and he keeps pushing. Which honestly made me sick to my stomach.
Then later when she admits to him that she never orgasmed until she used a toy for the first time, HE got MAD at HER! like are you fucking serious!? What is your malfunction!? okay, fast forward - their sex life is booming because of the things she is learning and she is learning her body and seems to be writing about it (to help others?) so now he is tired all the time, okay, cool. Whatever -- but when she takes him to the shop he just acts so disgusted. I literally don't understand. She is trying to open herself up to you and have your love life banging and you want to act as dry as burnt toast.
He literally makes me sick through the whole movie. There isn't a redeemable thing about him.
I freaking loved Bo Hee and Nan Hee's relationship though. I know they started off on the wrong foot but as time goes on, I loved seeing their bond just grow. It was amazing and made the whole movie worth watching.
I also loved how open everyone was (like her friend and her mother) with where she was working and anything "taboo" as people call it. Lol They weren't pieces of shit like her husband. SMH.
All in all, I did enjoy this movie and will be telling my friends about it. Lol

I wish I could write this big long extravagant review about it but honestly I still feel mind-blown even though I finished this 2 days ago. I admit I wasn't expecting much from this show. Don't come for me, the cover and preview just was a bit bland for me. Even the title made just shrug like "eh" yet there was still something about it that made me really want to watch it. I'm not even mad! I'm so glad I watched this when I did. It turned out so good. I'm not sure many people know about the show Battle Royale but it gave me those vibes mixed with Hunger Games/Maze Runner.
I wish I could say I finished this show unscracted but bruh... by the end I feel like I had been through everything they had been through. My brain function pretty much shut down lol. The betrayal, man!! the freaking BETRAYAL! This show messes with your head like it messes with all of the characters. I seriously can NOT wait for the next season. There has to be some kind of justice. oegihrwohgrohg OMGGGG!!!! PLEASE!!! Lol
That ending left me hella shook. I just wanted to throw stuff at the TV while screaming my head off. I didn't expect that and it blows my MIND that they did that in CLEAR VIEW!! how did none of us notice THAT?! And if you have finished you know exactly what I mean! I feel like we knew, we KNEW but so much was going on that it was there but we never saw it coming. X_X *screams* lol I love this show though haha

I was sucked in once again and was kinda mad at myself for forgetting about it.
From the moment it started I was completely sucked in. Even though I felt like I had seen something similar to it before, I couldn't put my finger on it - and still haven't. I think this movie is really unique in that way.
While settings and timelines were at a minimum, you felt every moment in each scene which is really hard to do and it always blew my mind at how different it was. I wish I could go into more detail about this but I don't want to give to much away.
I'm not really big on thrillers, in fact, I hate them. but the bit of supernatural (I guess you could call it that) toss in really made the movie and kept me around because it really made me question what and how this was all happening.
The production and the acting was award winning. Even the plot and storyline was amazing ....had it not ended the way that it did. I was happy with the ending until they tossed in that "extra" during the credits. Like.... WHY?! Why did you do that? Now I am just confused. Maybe I am overthinking it? I don't know. But I have a headache now and it ruined the whole thing for me and turned a great movie with sealed deal.. into a open ending nightmare.
I doubt there will be a second movie, but gah I wish there was so it would explain that!

Probably going to be spoiler heavy and I'm okay being the odd man out.But holy shit I hated this show.... Okay, maybe not hate, but I sure didn't like it. I waited so long for this to be complete so I could binge watch it, and I'm glad I did because how these episodes ended and how toxic EVERY episode was.. I probably would have "forgotten" to tune in for the next episode.
I've seen a lot of toxic shows and movies -- I feel like this one takes the cake. At least with the other shows (that I've seen) you see character building and eventually they stop being toxic pieces of shit. Yet. all the way up to the very last scene Kiyoi is steadily calling Hira gross and disgusting. Now mind you, Hira isn't innocent here either. The man is clearly psychotic. Dreaming of gunning down people for a guy you like isn't normal and is extremely creepy.
So yeah I have many regrets and wish I had passed up on this show. It's not often that I wish the ML would have ended up with the second love interest, but fuck I wish he would have. He was so much better than Kiyoi.
Hats off to the actors! The talent it takes to make you have to say to yourself "they're actors, not real" LOL! I think all of the actors did a amazing job and I really loved seeing Yusei. (what can I say? I adore the man. Don't like the character he played but I still adore him hahaha)
Edited to mark 4 stars instead of 5. But I feel like even 4 stars is to much. :/

I am so freaking soft for this show! I didn't expect to get so invested in the show because I really just put it on to play in the background while I was working on other stuff .... needless to say, nothing got done, I was hooked from episode 1 and binge watched the hell out of it.
I'm amazed at how they put so much emotion and life into each episode with what little time there was. I thought surely there is no way everything could be wrapped up flawlessly in the same episode, much less, in 10 with everything that was going on. How the last episode was going, I was ready to flip my lid because I just KNEW there was no way. No way IN HELL they could close that ending, I thought for sure it would be a open ending and it would leave me mad as hell.
But nope. They proved me wrong and wrapped everything up flawlessly. I'm shook.
I freaking adored how heartwarming this show was. Don't get me wrong, there were times when I wanted to throw hands and call half of them hard headed dumbasses. But of course, they all worked out.
But really I wish there were more episodes, and if not -- at least a spin off. I wanted Ayumu and his brother to know each other better. I know there is no way he would patch things with his parents but you can just tell how much his little brother looks up to him and loves him. I know Ayumu wasn't treated well, but with any little sibling, even if they don't see it, they love the other sibling (coming from a little sibling).
I'd really like to know what happened to Kanata. I know it gave us a small clip of him singing but I wonder if he really went home or is he still singing like before? Just so many questions.
I loved the ending. Sweet good grief. I didn't see it coming to be honest. I was ready to release the water works but the show was like "but wait! there's more!" lol
So if you are looking for a fast paced quick show, this one is the one. I really enjoyed the characters and the storyline.

I was not expecting this show to be as good as it was and I really wasn't expecting it to snatch all of my attention. If life allowed it, I probably would have watched every single episode in one day. So you can imagine my annoyance when there were times I had to cut it off. I love shows that can draw me in like this, it makes me wish they never had to end.
My emotions are still raw and all over the place so I admit my review probably won't be as long as they usually are because I'm sorting through feelings. ESPECIALLY THAT FREAKING ENDING!!!
Am I the only one upset with it? I mean, it's amazing but... not? I hate open endings with a passion. So I'm like "will there be a second season?" Then I remember this show was from years ago and realize if they haven't done it by now, they won't do it at all, which really sucks. I would be happy with even a mini extra episode that would explain where everyone is and if things worked out.
But all in all, I really did love this show... even the bad CGI. lol The show wouldn't be amazing without it. LOL
I loved all of acting. Even from those that annoyed the hell out of me, I know the show probably wouldn't have been as good without them.

I am SO PROUD of Enhypen. So freaking proud of all the guys that were able to get on this show. I've seen my fair share of these shows and I must say it's definitely the first time I've seen a friend betray a friend (This coming from a person who watched No Mercy, I still have trust issues with Gun) ANYWAY considering this was a reality show, there is no right or wrong way to review this show. But hopefully we can all agree that Mnet is crap. :) King of evil editing IMO.
I really wanted all of them to debut. They all worked so hard and I can't help but to think they had everyone picked out before the show even started. Don't come for me, it's how I feel.
I think the scenes that will stick with me until death will be Jungkook trying to steal food and Taehyung ON LIVE TV being triggered over the amount of food they had while he was screamed at for putting salt on chicken. (poor baby) lol but still. It really shows how much kpop trainees go through.
STAN ENHYPEN!! I said what I said. Lol

I mean it's your basic urban legend ghost, which I'm not even mad at, I love those. But... man the alien look just threw it all off for me. It was like someone took the movie and put the instagram alien filter onto the "ghost".
Speaking of the ghost, what even was her story? I feel like all that was talked about were just guessing games that kinda borderlined on Kuchisake-onna's territory... minus the "do you think I'm pretty?" -- nah, this ghost just stares you down until your eyeballs explode for some reason. Kinda a mix of Kuchisake-onna and Bye Bye Man and Boogeyman (wasn't that the name of that series?), imo.
Stare had a lot of potential .... but fell short.... Way short... like the unathletic kid in gym (don't come for me, I was that kid. lol) but really though, even though this movie is fairly new, it kinda has old vibes which is interesting. But kinda hope a remake gets done and they do drastic changes on the ghost. Then, it would be at least a 8 star movie...
Only other issue is I wish they went into more detail about the origin of the story and the whole reason for it. And I mean the whole thing, not just kids playing guessing games on what it could or couldn't have been.
I just have way to many questions and annoyances with it that I can't really give it more than 5 stars.. and that's being nice about it. >__< Would I say trash and dodge the movie, nah. But don't expect a lot from it. It would be a good movie to play within a horror movie night marathon or something.
