Wonderful drama but lacks of something...
Before anything, I watched everything about this manga, starting with 'From Me to You' the movie more than a decade ago, and that movie is still one of my favourites ever, from actors, music and fidelity to the manga, to the animated series, till the comic.This one is definitely well done, if you had the opportunity to read the series you can't deny how much precise the story is if compared, but also lacks something. The actors did a well-done job, but everything was very stiff and didn't have the lighthearted aura of the movie, that's undeniable, everything follows a line and only that, not excessive, nothing too romantic, nothing over the top.
I do recommend it yes, but do not expect anything

Best comedy of this decade!
Rarely do I give a solid 10 to a drama, but this one needs a 10 in everything.Funny, unpredictable, awkward on a good level, lighthearted and a must rewatch. The storyline is easy to follow, with no dramas, no angst, no tears and strange reasons behind, loved each character and situation.
Made me laugh so hard that I was heartbroken when it came to an end, I definitely recommend it (also is really similar to 'The Office US', so if you love that series, you're gonna love this one!).
Special mention goes to the Indian actor, he was the best one in the whole series!!

If you hated the Chinese version, you're gonna love this one, trust me!
Got influenced by this drama by the thousands of TikTok edits around the web, but coming from a bad impression of the Chinese version (Meteor Garden) I was reluctant to this version, I've never watched any kind of drama coming from Thailand, but I've decided to watch it.If you like the heartwrenching drama, the extreme angst and the pain, well this one is definitely the go.
I loved how the story builds, nothing is overexaggerated as much as in the Chinese version, Gorya is amazing if compared to Shan Cai, and everything is extremely cruel because can relate to something realistic.
Months after and I still love seeing edits of this amazing drama, definitely, a rewatch is needed once in a while!
Absolutely recommended

Do not care about bad rewiews here, it's worth the watch
At the start, I thought that wasn't that much worth my time, even though I've been a huge Rowoon fan (also SF9) for the past years, and I've also been influenced by the other reviews there, but decided to give it a try!Honestly, not the best 2023 drama, but is well done. Loved their chemistry, also the support roles actors and actresses did a really good job, the storyline is dumb and that is why is good, is supposed to be a lighthearted drama that doesn't need to be taken seriously. I love some random phrases of Rowoon and the bickering with the second lead, also his parents are hilarious in certain moments.
I would give a solid 8 to this!

Not so horror than it seems
The trailer seems promising as much as the storyline, but overall not that great.The story is linear yes, but lacks a lot of background history that would help to understand the drama way better (like, why do these people even exist??? where's the point of this story???). A special mention goes for the special effects, can't say anything bad about them, honestly really splatter and were well made, beyond my expectations to be honest!
Does it need a second season? For me yes, many plot holes are left without and answer in the end!

A good distopic but nothing else
Wanted to watch this title as soon as was announced from Netflix at the start of this year, as a forever lover of dystopian movies, I was thrilled to see something in a drama form.The ambientation in itself is honestly good and the story is actually really good, but doesn't develop that much and a second season would be honestly completely unnecessary. Everything revolves around a revenge kind group of rebels that want to reunite their world (the poor uninhabitable one) with the elite world (rich people, good air and great jobs). But overall, the story doesn't go beyond that, and everything is rushed in the last two episodes

In all honesty? A masterpiece!
Watched this majestic drama while it was still airing in Korea the past year, and honestly was the best drama of all 2022!Usually, I'm not a historic + historic/fantasy drama lover, I love history but I'm not really that good at the Korean one, so at first I wanted to avoid it, I've thought that the mixture of the completely different genres would be a huge mess.
What a dumb thought.
The storyline can be tricky at first, especially for all the different families and the flashbacks are a whole lot, but once the first episodes the story starts to get amazing, and the long length of each episode (pretty much like a movie per each episode) goes in the back. Jung So Min is AMAZING in this, she and her facial expressions are hilarious and a tinge of adding some 'slap comedy' is a big yes for me!
I would recommend this? YES
Is worth a rewatch? Yes Again!!

In a single word, GORGEOUS!
I've literally devourd it in less than a week.
The story is so good and real, that is unpossible not to love it. There aren't any heroism or any huge scene over a single patient like many other medical drama, the continuous switching of story is perfect to maintain the attention, and also the background stories where super funny, you really can't hate anyone of the cast.
100% one of the best Netflix titles right now, I sincerely can't wait for 2021 the second season of this masterpiece!

Let's start by saying that the plot isn't new, but I liked the fact that the whole drama starts by showing off the most inner part of the story and only after the story starts to answer all the why's about the first episode!
Let me say that I EXTREMELY LOVED the chemistry between the main couple, I remember the main lead from Meteor Garden and was the only one that I've liked back then from that drama, but I really liked his acting here!!!
I can sincerely say that the central episodes (around the 15th) almost made me cry, they were so beautiful that literally made my heart melt. I liked also the second couple, they were funny enough not to gettin' into the classic boring couple who usually doesn't have a story by itself. Generally, the end was really good, probably the episodes around the 20th are just created to give the drama a 40th episodes length, actually, they don't give real meaning to the whole history, let's be honest about it!
Overall, i really liked it!!!!!

Usually, it took me a lot of time to finish Chinese dramas due to their good amount of episodes, but actually, I watched this one in less than four days.
The drama is basically super lighthearted, funny, and with a good dose of cringe that personally I've appreciated.
I liked the ost's usually I do not pay attention to music in movies and dramas, but these ones were really good.
Only a thing: Sometimes the episodes lacked plot holes, a storyline started but sometimes it faded out after a few minutes, especially the last news ( that I don't spoiler, I promise) from episode 28.
I loved the episode 15, and the ones from 25 to 30, they really melted my heart!!

Don't expect a Hollywood production, the story is literally just 3 hours long but I think the episode has the perfect length not to fall into boring ones.
The story is somehow original, even if sometimes is rushed and there aren't so many background stories I liked the chemistry between the actors, I loved the last three episodes and I've also liked the funny scenes in between.
I don't know why but reminded me a lot of the kdrama ''I picked a star on the road'', which was a title that I've seriously enjoyed in the past.
I seriously hope in a second season or in a final full episode just to understand all the open points left at the end!

Overall it wasn't a bad drama, the pros are that the story is new and at least original (it thought it was a thriller title but turned out to be a dark/psychological drama), it's beautifully shot and also belongs to a real story, so it's pretty interesting!
The cons are the teacher, he was extremely over portrayed and also confusing...
From the 6th episodes, I've started to skip some scenes because it started to get really boring and somehow heavy.
The end left me confused, probably I've also needed to read the manga is based on understanding everything, but I'm serious by saying that I had to watch the end more than once since it seems there's a second season but actually there's nothing more after the titles...
Overall I don't give it a 7/10 ...

I'll start with the PRO:
- The plot is really good and also something new. Rarely I see religion themes on KDramas, and even more rarely a full drama based on these things.
- The cast was really good, the ''Spiritual Father'' was portrayed perfectly and also really creepy in many scenes!
And I'll also start with the CONS:
- Many religious scenes were really, really boring, I've skipped 90% of them since they were pretty much repeating...
- The real part of the story starts to develop after the 7th episode before this is just a long moment of how they get into the cult, where the place is, what the do, and also a lot of praying scenes.
- The last three episodes were rushed and confusing, everything starts to come out in less than three hours (secrets, dark pasts of the people), things that actually needed a little of the background to make everything be easier!
- Really few action scenes, even though is more on the psychological side, I was hoping for more actions scenes, I don't know something like the police ones or something about an investigation, but nothing or let me say it, just a very small part of this has been made.
At the end i can say that isn't that bad, but if you're searching for something like 'Signal' with a really good tension, personally, this isn't the one in charges neither if you hope for a little bit of romance in it...
Not bad, but i wouldn't rewatch it again.

I can say that i really liked the chemistry between the leads but I really couldn't go on after the 10th episode, yeah, a good plot in general but everything was soooo slow that bored me in really no time.
Is a good drama to watch when there's nothing else or when you want something really light but absolutely not my cup of tea...

I love the school ambient, but in this one, I LOVED the growth of each character, usually, short dramas tend to be dispersive due to short episodes and really contracted stories that fall into really dumb ones. Luckily that wasn't the case for this drama, really really enjoyed it, 99% gonna rewatch in the future!
