My review:

I can guess the reasons why this drama has below 8 rating:

❌️ FL's deception getting dragged for so long until there is no tension left before it became a focus again
❌️ Annoying SML
❌️ Full of cliche galore especially in the last 2 episodes

What I liked:

✅️Jang Ki Yong. What an eyecandy (10/10)
✅️ Gong Ji Hyeok. He was not your typical cold CEO but humorous & very expressive in showing his feelings
✅️ Chemistry between leads (9/10). There were times I felt like I was intruding into their private moment. Episode 12 ? I am talking about you
✅️ The acting (8.5/10)
✅️ The humor (8.5/10)
✅️ Enjoyable plot (8/10) with moderate angstiness level (7.5/10)
✅️ The ending credit where they shows all the cast dancing ?


My rating: 8.5/10 (my actual rating between 8.3-8.5) because I am feeling generous & despite the shortcomings, I enjoyed most part of the story.

My actual rating would be 8.7/10. I thoroughly enjoyed the first 30 episodes the plot was truly addicting made me sleep late at night ?. But the last 10 episodes, not so much. To me, things got a bit boring when they are at the capital and there's no Chang Ning..?. I had no complaint about the visuals ( especially Zhang Ling He's face card ???),the acting,exquisite costumes , chemistry between leads and the OST. Those were 10/10.

Why that rating, it's a me problem. Watching action drama back-to-back kinda desensitized me. Also at this point of my life, I am fatigued already with school bully & dysfunctional police tropes.

My review of Veil of Shadows ? https://mydramalist.com/profile/EvaLovietta/review/579202

My review:

✅️ The plot, pacing : 9/10
✅️ Comedy : 9/10
✅️ Acting,chemistry between leads : 9/10
✅️ Cinematography: 10/10
✅️ OST : 9/10

Overall, I enjoyed this drama immensely. A perfect stress reliever ?. If you enjoyed Moving, Family Matters, and The Uncanny Counter and if these genres—fantasy + action + comedy + people with superpowers—are your cup of tea, you probably would enjoy The WONDERfools too. The last scene insinuated that there would be a season 2; I am just hoping it doesn't disappoint as many dramas do in their second seasons ?.

My review, aka rambling, aka thoughts:

✅ OST was lit. My favourites: Dim Light by Liu Yu Ning and Feeling Something in My Heart by Chen Du Ling & Zhou Yi Ran.
✅ Cinematography, costumes & the overall visual: 10/10
✖️The plot and script leave much to be desired. I enjoyed the first 1/3rd of the story, but it went downhill so fast; the rest of the plot was underwhelming, draggy and boring. The later arc was heavy on the politics, and it’s my least favourite genre. I mostly used the 2x speed button to complete the rest.
❌ No chemistry or spark between the leads ?. I could feel the awkwardness when they’re together. Instead of looking like a pair being in love, their relationship was more like a leader's and her subject's. FL had more chemistry with 2nd MLs, Xie Yan Fang and Deng Yi.
❌ I enjoyed Zhou Yi Ran’s acting in GTG, but here not so much. Maybe the problem lies with his dull character. Xie Yan Fang's and Deng Yi's characters were even more interesting and had more depth than the ML. Unlike her character in The Glory and Veil of Shadows, Chen Du Ling's Chu Zhao did not impressed me here.
? My rating : 7/10.

My thoughts:

✅️ Cinematography, costumes,visual : Great.

☑️ The character: It was refreshing to see main character with health problem like Ye Li. Mo Xiao Yao is a greenflag character except that one time after he knows the truth behind the edict. I did not enjoyed any of side character’s story . 

✔️ The plot : Not really my cup of tea. Nothing I haven’t seen before in a political-family feud- revenge based drama. I mostly used 3X speed during my watching. 
✔️ OST: So & so. None that made me want to add to my spotify playlist.

My rating :7.5/10

It was a struggle to finish the last 4 episodes ... My rating for the first 10 episodes : 8.5/10 . The last 4 episodes : 6/10

"Why would someone kill one person to build a place where another can live? ''

I lowkey enjoying the story. While the plot may not be the best I've seen in a mystery-crime drama, most of the time, it has captured my attention. Nine Puzzles is one of those crime dramas where I found myself siding with the serial killer. I could empathized with the killer's motive behind the murders, and I felt outraged while watching what the 'victims' did. The cinematography and background music were excellent . Thanks to these elements, the scenes became more thrilling and creepy, just as intended.

My rating : 7.5/10
