Season 1 was far better

Why I liked the drama?

- THE FEMALE CHARACTERS! Usagi, Kuina, and Ann. Honestly, they carried the whole show. Their relationships were interesting and each was independent and badass. They didn't need men to survive the games, in fact the men needed them. It's not everyday that you can find a survival story where the female characters took major controls.
- Chishiya! He's so interesting, more than the MC himself. His laid back personality was the opposite of his brain capabilities. Honestly, I'm glad he had his own screen times to finish two games. And he did it perfectly alone. Chishiya be like: Me, myself, and I.

Why I disliked the drama?
- Arisu's characterization. Suddenly, his characters got weaker than previous season. All of the time, he needed Usagi to take care of his ass because his mentality dropped down drastically. It's like he lost his confidence and never got it back lmao -.-
- Aguni and Heiya's relationship. It's disturbing that Heiya, a girl in high school (definitely underage, no?!), was head over heels to Aguni. Their age difference made me fume with madness. On the other hand, Aguni didn't seem to take it seriously, but who knows what the writers had in minds.
- Plot armor too visible. During the King of Spades', the main characters should've died multiple times, but no. They're invincible to the bullets, except the extras. Others got killed by ONE shot, our main characters could survive from ten thousands shoots to their bodies. Hooray to the armor!
- The ending. Such a shitty ending -,- people can make theories about the 'borderland' but I personally think the ending was not satisfying. On the Queen of Hearts' game, Arisu and Usagi made a whole speech to each other, but in the end, I was left with disappointment. This season's storyline was definitely too rushed.

PAINFUL AF!!!!!

Typical story where you fall in love with your childhood friend, then when you grow up, a girl comes into the picture.

When I watched this, the only thing I thought was 'poor Jonathan'
He deserves better; not a 'friend' who had sex with him even when he's straight and had a gf. The girl's too, she's kinda annoying? Like, she tried to be kind - acting like a best friend, while she's supposed to stay back and let the men cleared things out (glad that in the end, she did it tho)

Anyway, Shane is an asshole. Maybe he's confused idk, but he didn't want to lose Jonathan as his best friend, and his girlfriend. Bruh, you can't have everything in this world. He's even making it worse by having sex with Jonathan then acted pitiful in the end. So, in conclusion: Shane is a red flag walking.

For Jonathan, I was hoping that he had a stronger character in the movie. Yes, love hurts, bae T.T I also felt bad at him because of his father demands for his future. If only Shane understood him better -.- but no, Shane only cared for Jonathan to watch his basketball so that he could act cool blablabla.

The idea's interesting, but the drama conveyance was quite lacking

Why I liked the drama?

- Amazing casts. There's nothing bad to say about the casts; they're amazing! I liked Go Kyung Pyo's acting as the psychopath. He made some really great disturbing expressions. I honestly was uncomfortable every time he appeared on the screen.
- A grey characterization of the female lead. I think we need more story about Irang because she sometimes acted as a bad person, but at the same time, I can see her humanity. She's great at fighting and a straight forward person which really complemented Dong Soo.
- Great CGI.
- The drama delivered the dark, uncomfortable feelings really well to the viewers.

Why I disliked the drama?
- Towards the end of episodes, the story became messy and so many plot holes. Maybe they wanted to leave the room for season 2, but who knows?
- It wasn't really exciting for me at some point, but I forced myself to finish the drama.
- THE ENDING. The climax between Dong Soo and Jin Seop's was meh. I was hoping for a grand fight between the two 'connected' people, but nah. We don't have it. Also, what's with the cliffhanger? They're really teasing us for season 2 in the ugly way.
- The human trafficking gang. I don't really get their importance on the drama. They kept being highlighted, but actually they're not that interesting????
- The stupid girl who got murdered on the rooftop. Girl, if you found out that you just slept with a serial killer, you should've gone to the police, not confronting him in the rooftop? Where he could easily dispose you? In conclusion, she 's stupid af.

She might be a queen, but her priority was to be a good mother.

Easily one of the best dramas I've ever watched. I thought this was a comedy, but I'm so wrong lol

This drama really emphasized the strong bonds between mothers and their sons. It showed us how mothers sacrificed and protected her children even if it meant they're dealing with a devil.
For the whole 16 episodes, the queen never really took a break; she was 24/7 alert for her sons, grandchild, and also her husband, the king himself. She was amazing; really a strong, wise, and smart woman.

My favorite part was the ending. It was so satisfying and each character got what they deserved. Under the Queen's umbrella, just like the title, she protected everyone even though she had to be soaked wet by the rain. Simply worth the hype.

Truly Realistic Movie

Since the story happens in the 80s, you guys know that LGBT was really taboo and... unfamiliar with society.
This is really realistic - yes, two men might share the same feelings, but then what? Will the society accept them? Will the people think of them as crazy? Will they endure?

Their friendship eventually turns into something more passionate. What will happen to the young boys? And what's more amazing is that this is based on the true story. Well, damn you, director for making me bawling.
AND I read that the two main leads even lived together for some times, writing letters to each other so that they could feel the roles better. Kudos for them and staffs for giving us this masterpiece.

A light romcom drama [Best friends to lovers???] about movies industry in South Korea

The first ten episodes are really funny and light, focusing on the main couple's relationship. The guy likes to tease the girl, acting like they hate each other, while in fact, they've been in love for forever.

Another thing that I like: we can see the people who work behind the celebrities, mainly the PR team who has to clean up the celebrities' scandals >.< how they have to handle groundless rumors while protecting the artists.

It's a cute romance story and we have other two sides couples.

However, after the tenth episode, suddenly the team decided to add some mysteries to the plot, crumping the conflicts for the last six episodes. I wish they could pace it better because it got boring towards the end.

But I still finish it for the sake of Queen Sung Kyung. If you're looking for a light drama with no heavy plot, then this one might be for you.

Fate might be exist, after all

Why I like the drama?

- The cinematography, music, and acting are amazing!! It really drove me to feel the moods, especially Utada's voice! She never fails to deliver emotions. I cried a lot on the last two episodes.
- It's really realistic, especially with historical events that they put into the story. It creates a connection between the drama and its audience. Another thing about this aspect is that we can actually meet a lot of Harumichis in our daily life-- a man who couldn't move on from his past. I've seen people who got hurt because this kind of man and the story somehow made me able to emphasize with him (I still don't like him though, but let me explain in the dislike part).
- The young actors' chemistries are insane! I fell in love with their parts over and over again.
- The dialogues are pretty like poetry and uplifting. I get lot of moral lessons from this :)
When you're young, you imagine your future will be beautiful, that you'll make a difference. But, as time goes on, you realize your life is shitty. In fact, to be able to pay rents is a pretty amazing achievement. But, no worries, dear friends. Time will tell as long as you never give up on your dreams.

Why I dislike the drama?

- Yae's mother. How dare she hide the truth from her daughter? Because of her bad judgement, Yae and Harumichi's lives turned upside down. She said she didn't want Yae's life to be like her, but she actually threw her daughter under the bus. AND I hate her so much when Yae told her she's gonna get divorced, she didn't ever the whole story, but immediately said: "Can you just go apologize?" What the hell, Ma'am?
- Cliché trope: amnesia.
I have no idea that they would do this trope, I wanted to punch a wall because of this.
- Cheating!!! NEVER GO INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH A MAN WITH UNFINISHED BUSINESS. Harumichi... I know you're happy to be able to meet Yae, but please, don't cheat on your girlfriend. You made her wait long enough, and when she pushed to the next stage, you told her she's not the one for you. Goddamnit. You just wasted her precious times X__X

Not a heavy law drama, but definitely heart warming

This is really a new type of drama, where the main character was an autistic person. I guess the author wanted to educate us from their point of views :" like, their feelings, struggles to fit into the society, etc.

The cases that they faced were easy to follow even though many law terms came out, and all of it was interesting. Being a lawyer, it's kind of a dilemma when you have to defend a client who was clearly the bad guy.

The drama contained love, friendship, family, and teamwork.
I laughed, I cried, and I definitely enjoyed this drama. For me. it worth the hype. Also, the acting was phenomenal! Kudos to the actress who played Woo Young Woo. Can't wait for the season 2.

A Tearjerker.

The story, the cinematography, the casts, the OST... all of it was perfect!

Despite all of the controversy it caused, I still watched this because I know how to differentiate a fiction from history. And I'm glad I did . In the end, Snowdrop proved that all of the accusation was wrong.

Only the first few episodes that contained laughter and happiness, after that, it was pure suffering lmao
This drama led me into a slump. The effects it got on me were tremendous. I can't watch any dramas without thinking about Young-ro and Soo-ho's tragedy. I cried on almost every episode, especially the ending.

I can't believe this was Jisoo's debut as the main lead. Her emotions, her tears - my heart was slaughtered by it. I don't think I can re-watch Snowdrop. The deaths left too much gap on my heart :"

This story tells about how a person moves on from a toxic relationship :" Although this is a queer movie, I can relate to every piece of it - kinda remind me of my old relationship lol
Anyway, the cinematography is really amazing; really really eye pleasing to the eyes. The music is also a perfect blend to the story - making me feel like crying every time a sad song being played.

The casts?? ARE AMAZING!! I feel their angers, sadness, loneliness, happiness, and... love. The words are really stabbing my heart, like it's genius without any doubt. Do watch it; it clearly depicts a relationship and you'll understand the heart wrenching aches.
