A great watch

This was a great drama. The plot had alot of potential and was well written with a few loopholes although it was stable in the end. The end was a little confusing but sure was good. Im thinking there'd be a season 2 as the ending left off a clifhanger. It gave alot of Enigma( thai drama) vibes to me at some point of time. But was sure as hell good. The actors played their roles greatly and alot of the characters could not have died. I believe that Ko lying jun and Choi Mina had alot of potential compared to other characters and The end where they show that there were rumors abt Park Se Eun It felt like there was a huge loophole. And on addition to all of that the statue in the Youth center was Out of the box I feel. This drama isn't a horror drama it's more like a Sci-fi or Mystery drama as there really isn't no ghost so if anyone is gonna watch this drama please keep in mind that there is no ghost.

Best and worth to watch I'd say.

I'm thrilled that this is the first time in the whole series until this one episode story that I re-watch it twice. The story was beyond all my expectation when I thought at the beginning that they both will be together in what ways and it turns out that they're actually fight and separated in the end. You know... it's hard to write one story and let people sniff around and never stop thinking about how it's end so It's worth my time watching their life and understand everything they've done even in 2 shortly episodes.

I hope to continue watching their side-story after the ending calling scene and let's see what happened to Kun and Tod later!!! ***I'm EXCITED****

got a crush on you - Xu kaicheng.

Another excellent performance by kaicheng. He is steady, unique, adpots a noble, calm, professional, heartwarming posture. Humble, sharp, responses v beautifully, courteously with other colleagues. I need an exquiistev gem of an actor. The setti g is elegant, v realistic. Kai is able to stand out as male lead. v v grateful this drama is finally released. The other actors are v good too. Teamwork is excellent. Music, production, directing are excellent. There is much rewatch value. Really like the setting, storyline, KUDOS to the team and esp kaicheng - always a joy to watch him act. Look forward to many many more shows with his newly signed agency. Kai Cheng is v v handsome, v tall, keep up yr good work.

Nothing new

For some reason, this reminds me of King The Land in that we have all these beautiful people and set design yet the plot itself is the epitome of cliche. As much as Kim Yoo Jung can be considered a veteran actor (she's been acting for over a decade) I still think her performances are average. Don't get me wrong, I love her as a person but the characters she plays all seem to be on the same spectrum. Anyway, this drama, as other reviews have mentioned, brings nothing new to the table as we've been there and seen it all when it comes to K dramas about gods and demons (go watch the exceptional "Goblin"). Currently at episode 8 and I've already started fast-forwarding because this has me rolling my eyes and scoffing. I can't imagine having to go through eight more episodes.

Watching hidden in plain site.

Is this BL cliche and absolutely goofy/unserious? Well yeah, it's Fish Upon the Sky babes.

But with that being said, the ridiculous and insanely unbelievable antics that go on within this BL don't take away from the heartfelt moments between the two male leads. Moments that have lived in my head rent free years after first watching. Even the cliches come off more as endearing than annoying. For example, Mork revealing to Pi that he has always cared and loved him from afar is something I would roll my eyes to with a small smirk on my lips in any other BL. But Pond portrays the character with such an earnest and captivating charisma that I can't help but smile and giggle to myself while kicking my feet. Even with Phuwin's character, who should be highly unlikeable and irritating to watch. Is found out to be rather sympathetic and relatable. Which makes you want to root for Phuwin to end up with a man who truly cares for him deeply and admires him. The way he deserves to be, even if he's initially against the clearly destined romance. And despite being yet another University BL, Fish Upon the Sky has always been so different and unique, holding a special place in my heart as my favorite BL. Even after watching hundreds of them at this point. And no other has seemed to be able to match it's energy in how animated it's story and characters are, at least not without being so silly to the point of borderline unwatchable. Nor have they been able to capture such a genuine and loving connection like I feel Pond and Phuwin are able to give us every second they're on screen.
Oh and PondPhuwin >>>

Compelling Drama with Exceptional Acting

The story in this drama is super interesting—I watched a bunch of episodes and got totally into the plot. However, when it was getting towards the end, I took a break because I had to wait a long time between each episode. Recently, I decided to get back into it after seeing some cool scenes on TikTok that reignited my interest. I've got to say, the acting is not just good, it's seriously impressive. Zhou Ye, even though she's young, is an awesome actress, and her performance is top-notch. It's like, she really brings the characters to life. So, if you're looking for something worth your time, this drama is totally worth checking out!

This was poorly written and execute, yet I want more...

I dont even know how to bring my review into words. The story didnt make much sense on a logical aspect. Its like they just wrote anything and didnt think about the logistics. The acting wasnt that good on the main MAIN character parts but the rest of the mains acting was pretty solid. The story just felt like it was just doing and saying anything. Didnt even get to understand and learn about the characters story so i didnt even have to chance to care if Jun hee or Yoon seo died. Even the parents are written poorly. And this was really predictable.

"Your the first person to win the game" They were trying so hard to make the girl the main character omg like Jun hee ALSO won. And why the tf did the parent incorparate romance into the game, like why make scenes of Yoon seo staring at Jun hee WHY would they even do that made no sense. HOW would they even know Yoon seo like Jun hee.

Now. I see complete potential for a season 2, this whole season felt like a filler and like a pilot or trailer for what big to actually come. They shouldnt even consider this a season tbh lol. I felt like it would have been more entertaining if the mains knew the circumstances they were really in.

I strangely want more. Not because its a clifhanger either, this could have ended just like that and id still look forward to a season 2.

Fun snack show!! but don't use your brain too much or it'll frustrate you

I enjoy this show as I binge watched it. If I was watching it weekly then surely rated this lower than what I have. But what I can say clearly is that I had a fun time while watching w/o using my brains.... they made sure to pick up my adrenaline & kept me on my toes. Cuz in many shows I don't even get excited or feel anything throughout the whole show.

First off all.... the story..... it was good, like the concept of it was interesting but the point is how they should've executed this. Rather than keeping the revenge of parents through simulation all to the last episode, they could've done something else with the whole mafia game concept.

Like that mafia game concept is so brilliant, I love it, but other than that some things seem weird & out of place. Like how the ghost appeared in the vent & many etc...etc.. plot holes.
I'm dissapointed that they didn't use this interesting concept for a full fledged show of either 10 or 12 episodes of 1 hour & gave characters more depth to them & left less of those plot holes.

The characters where not so well written but this show had that factor due to its packed & new type of storyline that intruiged me.

Acting was nice... nothing too grand but good. But that scene in pool where FL pulls ML out of pool after after he was presumed to be dead was probably the best chemistry scene they had throughout the show.

The BGM was not so much there but at the crazy scenes, it did help with the excitement or shock of the scene.This has that fever dream like story aspect to it lol.

Anything,everything all at once

Survival game....Ghost....Sci-fi....Grotesque thriller....teen....revenge

And at last.... I don't think this show has much rewatching value as the story's end gets weird for me & out of place & ruins the vibe I associated with this show in it's earlier episodes.

Well that's all for my personal opinion. Gamsahamnida..nnn..yo ~

Nothing Really Happens

It was cute for a moment, but only a moment. The entire series felt padded and fluffed out for no real good reason. Every scene with the side couple was of just them crying over the same thing again and again. And even Pop and Oat not really developing their relationship past Pop realizing he MIGHT have feelings for Oat was so infuriating. Overall it felt as if all of the storylines could have been solved/finished well within the 20 episodes given. Instead, to see said plotlines conclude we have to watch the sequel series Final Call. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the dramatic elements of the show while I was watching but ended up totally skipping through the side couples plot and wanting Pop and Oat's to rush along already. I most definitely won't be rewatching this again, or the second season/series for that matter. So unless you're REALLY in the mood for a goofy/light-hearted toned BL series, I'd skip. Seeing as there's way more BL that do far greater and better with far less time than this series.

Zhao Liying's Badass Return

Anticipation peaked as I awaited this series, primarily driven by the desire to witness the badass actress from 'Princess Agents' in action again. Needless to say, Zhao Liying did not disappoint – her performance was nothing short of amazing. Wang Yibo, despite having less experience compared to ZLY, held his own as a decent actor. I've heard praises for his series 'The Untamed,' though I haven't seen it yet, so I'll reserve my judgment on that.

Overall, the series lived up to expectations, but if I'm being honest, I found myself yearning for a more ruthless Zhao Liying. Maybe it's just my personal preference, but her fierceness adds a unique flavor that I can't get enough of. Here's to hoping for more of that in future projects!

A Chaebol Heiress' Unpredictable Journey

I stumbled upon this gem while searching for a drama featuring a female chaebol. Tired of the cliché 'rich boy, poor girl' narratives where the male lead dominates, I was pleasantly surprised to discover this series. Having followed the actress from her previous works, witnessing her portray a badass, rich heiress was truly a delight.

What sets this drama apart is not just the character's attitude but the brilliant plot twists that no one could have predicted. It's the kind of series that keeps you hooked with its unpredictability and leaves you hitting the rewind button multiple times. The real shine here is in the unexpected narrative turns. Here's to breaking stereotypes and enjoying a binge-worthy series that defies expectations!

Well....

The story is great and the cast is also did a great job. 2nd season is more emotional based that's a good point and the other point is it's all about fighting with monsters to survive. About the cast, there are like too much people and it feels a little bit messy somehow. Way more different than the 1st season.

In the previous sason people complained that the military isn't doing their job but in this season the story is all about military, monsters and survival. I must say that the ending was unexpected and I really loved Song Kang's acting here. About the others their skills are also developed alot than the previous season even the editing are also way more realistic than the previous season. Comparing this to the 1st season something's off in this and I still can't figure it out. At some point I feel like the variety of the monsters here is way too much because it's never ending. One after another so when we give a thought about it it's like they're repeating the same thing over and over. Anyways overall I like this.

Hope everything will end better. There will be a season 3 for this and I'm hopefully waiting for it.

A Love Letter to Jang Man Wol's Badassery

I shamelessly dove into this series because of IU – a loyal fan here! Little did I know I was signing up for a rollercoaster of awesomeness, with IU's character, Jang Man Wol, leading the pack as the ultimate 'I should look pretty even if I go broke!' queen. It's like IU went from sweet to 'Hello, I'm here to slay, darling!' for the first time, and boy, did she own it!

Jang Man Wol isn't just a character; she's a whole mood, a fierce fashion icon with an attitude to match. I've lost count of the times I've rewatched this show – blame it on Jang Man Wol's charisma and those killer outfits. Seriously, she's got me thinking, 'Can I look this good while conquering life's chaos?'

IU, take a bow! This series isn't just a fan's binge; it's a witty testament to IU's acting chops and the sassy brilliance of Jang Man Wol's character. So, excuse me while I go rewatch for the umpteenth time – because why settle for anything less than badass and beautiful?

Well-Written Characters, But When's the Sequel?!

Though I watched this drama quite some time ago, I've found myself rewatching it repeatedly, seeking the stress-free escape it provides from the typical damsel-in-distress female leads. This drama stands out as top-notch, with well-written characters, including the intriguing evil princes. However, the one aspect that left me hanging was the open ending. I can't help but wonder when they'll finally drop the second season. And, okay, call me sentimental, but I secretly wish the male lead would make a triumphant return – a resurrection wouldn't hurt, right?

The Enraging Conclusion of Duty after school Part 2

I never thought I would find myself writing a review, but I just have to get this off my chest – the ending was absolutely infuriating! After witnessing the promising character development of each individual, it felt like a complete betrayal to have them all meet their demise at the hands of a psycho obsessed with CSAT. Part 1 started off so well; I'm left wondering why the writers decided to take such a dark turn. In the novel, I heard that many students survived, yet in the series, only four managed to make it out alive. While I'm relieved that my two favorite characters survived, it was completely unexpected and left me with mixed emotions. Despite my frustration with the ending, I must admit it was still a good watch overall.
