One of the greatest Korean movies I have ever seen. The plot is quite simple yet entertaining and the director/screenwriter (yes this movie was directed and screenwrote by one person, such a talented man!) did a great job at mixing we'll both the comedy and action scenes. The comedy ones were hilarious while the action and fighting ones were enough to keep me at the edge of my seat.
The main two characters had a great chemistry together although they were an unlikely duo. The female lead was more serious and the male lead more goofy but together they were contemplating each other very well.
I don't think there was anything that I disliked about the movie so if you want something funny and easy to watch while also being entertained and surprised by few of the plot twists, go watch this movie!

Honestly the major part of the drama was absolutely perfect but then it slightly toned down at episode 10 when the characters started shifting loyalties and joining other sides.
The characters were amazingly written with majority of them being in the grey zone and being neither fully bad or good. My favourite one would be definitely Gu Reum, I really liked how she was strong both mentally and physically and was an icon. My most hated character would probably be the spiritual leader of director Kim and the actors did such a great job with playing these villains.
The OST was catchy but the English part of the lyrics weren't making much sense tbh...
I feel like the ending left us with some unanswered questions and although I don't have any hope for second season to happen, I still wish for it.

I started this movie because I saw a documentary about the locations where this movie was filmed and they seemed so pretty to me that I decided to give this movie a try despite it being quite an oldie/classic. This happened like 2 or 3 years ago so maybe my thoughts would be different now.
To be honest I think I had so-so thoughts about the movie. I liked all the lead characters and the actors did a great job portraying them. I liked the action and fighting scenes, they were good (expect the fight scene in the bamboo forest, that was weird for me). I didn't like the part of the plot that took place in the desert and the ending just puzzled me even more.

I watched this movie some years ago and till now I've rewatched it more than three times. I've even recommended this movie to my mother and family and they liked it as well, especially my mum. :D
The CGI was awesome and especially the green tao-tei monsters looked very real.
I liked the Chinese characters more than the three western ones, especially the female general and the leader of the wall warriors. However I think that all the actors did a good job with their roles.
The plot was quite basic and could be easily guessed but one can't expect some big plot twists from an action movie.
Overall it is a great movie worth rewatching.

I liked the office and sport setting of this drama and it mixed these two aspects well together. The supporting characters were nice and provided some humourous and bubbly situations which made me chuckle.
At first I liked the secondary couple more but later I got quite annoyed with Fang Qing finding so many reasons why she shouldn't be together with Tianlin. It was honestly so annoying and quite draggy.
The main couple was much better and they had good chemistry (not the best but good enough) but what was it with the fish kisses?! The male lead kept his eyes opened in majority of their kisses which made them kind of embarrasing to watch...
Overall the story was unique, there were a few clichés but nothing unbearable. The ending was indeed a bit rushed but it was a really cute and funny rom-com.

This drama was just... wow! It was an enjoyable watch with an unique storyline and fast pace so I basically binge watched all the six episodes in two days in-between my school work and online lessons.
The characters were easy to like and each of them were interesting in their own way. I especially liked Hye Min and I was very surprised when she got together with the other female student Radi! It was nice that there was the lesbian relationship mentioned.
The CGI of jellies was also very nice and realistic looking.
I'm honestly hoping for a second season since this one left too many unanswered questions, especially with the stolen pillows, the geese, the floating whale, and Radi's ghost seeing mum.

Honestly I don't remember much from this movie since it has been a while since I watched it. But I remember the overall vibe of it which was very nice. The love story was sweet and I was absolutely rooting for the leads to be together since they made such a nice and cute couple.
I didn't like the fl's gay colleague that much, to be honest since he was portrayed in such a stereotypical way but the wedding scene was really cute.
Despite it being a short movie one could experience a variety of emotions while watching this. Not the best movie I have ever seen but a decent one. I would recommend it if you're searching for something short and emotional.

One thing I would like to pinpoint was how well this drama handled the sensitive topic of racism, transphobia and orphanity. The mtf trans character was played by a woman which made me really happy since trans women are women and trans men are men just like any cis person. Yeah she was played by cis actress but still it was a development. Tony's character was also nice and I liked the Park Sae Ro Yi was supportive of both of them.
The stylists made an amazing job with all the costumes as they were absolute fashion goals!
Overall this was probably my favourite drama of 2020. The sixteenth episode was a bit meh though but overall the drama is worth watching.

When I started this drama I thought that it was going to be a GL. Turns out it wasn't but it was not dissappointing for me at all since I still have enjoyed the story very much.
I binge watched this short web drama in two afternoons and I enjoyed every minute of it and then I even watched the behind the scenes clips too since I liked this drama very much.
I really grew fond of the two female leads and I loved how their relationship developed from enemies to coworkers to aliies to friends. The supporting characters were also nice.
I highly recommend this web drama for you to watch!

When I first started watching this movie I didn't know that it was 18+ and then the first nude scene just jumped on me and I was like :O because before that I just watched all these rom-com k-dramas that all have like 13 or 15 pg rating. xD
Well despite my rocky start with it I really enjoyed watching this movie. Here was a wide range of emotions in it so I soon felt like being on an emotional rollercoaster. But in good way!
The characters were realistic and there was no overreacting which I liked. The story itself was very unique so kudos to the movie for that.
It's from 2012 so a bit oldie but don't be afraid to watch it. There are only like 3 nude scenes I think so be at least 18 before you watch it.

Side couples >>> main couple

I started this drama because I heard that it's a realistic portrayal of relationships, especially friends with benefits one. I was glad that they decided to produce something like this in South Korea as I'm getting tired of all the gloryfication of first loves and not falling in love until being in mid-thirties like some korean dramas depict it. But honestly Nevertheless was a flop for me.

It was toxic. Like a lot. Not the friends with benefits relationship (that was fine and there's nothing wrong with it as it is between consenting adults which it was) but the fact that it was just another cliché aka "I can change him". Yes the FL of course was not okay with being "just" fwb with the ML and wanted to properly date him. And of course that he changed for her because she was so special. /s
That was unrealistic and honestly it's giving a lot of false hope to some people, don't you think?

Whatever the side couples were much more better than the main one, I especially loved Bit Na and Kyung Hyun. And don't get me started on Sol and Ji Wan, they are perfect!!! <3 The side couples were the only reason why I finished the drama.
