I came across this drama by chance. I really knew absolutely nothing about him, I only started to see him because the synopsis caught my attention.

Don't get me wrong, I strangely enjoyed this drama lol because yeah, it was so weird. I'm really not one to be very picky about what they see. I'm a shojo lover after all! so for me not everything has to be realistic. And more when you are not looking for that.

The sex scenes were great. They weren't vulgar or anything... but some situations that made me laugh at how absurd they were, when you're supposed to feel a "doki doki".

The actors were very good, many times I wondered how they were not ashamed to say or do certain things lol. That is being very professional.

My rating is low because all the characters are absurd and the main character is really maddening. And because if you are really looking for a serious drama or one that leaves you reflecting; or maybe it's minimally realistic, actually this drama is not for you.

A heartbreaking and beautiful story.

The film is about two 17-year-old boys, the girl only has 6 months to live and the boy only one year to live.

It is a strange story to see, it usually happens that only one of the two characters is sick and dies. But in this case they were both in the same situation, only one had longer to live than the other.

The two really had no desire to live, and at first they surrendered to their destiny, but thanks to they met they both learned to want to live.

Although neither of them said it implicitly, through the meaning of the flowers they already knew that they loved each other.

There are no unnecessary dramas or anything like that, you just see how they try to spend as much time together. And when Haruna dies, Akito tries to make the most of his remaining time for Haruna.

I'm not a person who cries easily but this movie made me cry. Maybe it's because I'm going through something familiar. And I don't know if I'll make it to my 30s.

The important thing about this movie is that although life can be cruel and you don't even know why you have to experience things like that, when we are supposed to have a whole life ahead of us, it makes us appreciate every moment we live as if it were our last. Not to give up even though we already know the result. Just enjoy the company of a loved one, a friend or your family. Those are the moments you should cherish, even if they are small and other people think they are insignificant.

It really is a gem, I cried a lot but I'm glad I saw it.

The performances are impeccable and although the cinematography focuses more than anything on the hospital, the production made the hospital look like the characters saw it. A beautiful place, with many meaningful moments.

I didn't listen to the OST much. When I have more time I will listen to it calmly but from the little I was able to hear I liked it a lot.

You will cry, that's for sure, but you will take away a great life lesson.

Much talked about but very predictable drama.

I'm watching this drama for all the rampage behind it and while I enjoyed watching it, I think it's just another survival drama.

There is really nothing innovative, maybe just the fact that the games were simple because they were based on children's games but after that it is just a group of desperate people, for different reasons, willing to do whatever it takes to win. the award.

The acting was excellent as well as how everything was executed but let's say that all the characters fulfilled a stereotype of this type of genre.

The message was also the same as those often given in these dramas: "How much can we lose our humanity because of our ambitions?" There is nothing really remarkable, other than the performances, because everything was so predictable.

Even the end and there were characters who died stupidly and there was no great development.

Maybe I'm tough but it's because everyone talked so much about him that they created great expectations, that people like me who enjoy watching this type of genre didn't bring him anything new and innovative.

I still recommend it because it's not that bad. It is short and entertaining.

Well I don't know how to start ... I started looking at this for Song Kang.

I thought it would be a good romantic drama after the Love Alarm slop but I was wrong. I didn't really know the webtoon but after seeing the first chapters I decided to read it. It was rewarding and I thought it would have the same ending. The ending of the webtoon leaves you with a good message and although the ending is bittersweet, it is simply realistic. Which did not happen in the drama.

First of all the narrative of the drama was a disaster. If Nabi was going to end up with Jae they should at least have explained his obsession with butterflies, why he kept them locked up and why he felt lonely what made him play with so many girls . Also why Nabi was so special to him.

Nabi regressed. She go on to give a speech from leaving the fuck boy to just "I'm going to regret it but it doesn't matter." His conflict with his mother ends up being incoherent when she makes sames the decisions. Being in toxic relationships.

What was redeemable from the drama were the performances and the secondary couples. That was what kept the drama afloat because their relationship became dull and boring. The ost was good as well as the scenery but it is not enough to compensate for such a poor narrative with a very bad message.

I really don't understand why they adapt a webtoon if they are going to shit on the main message of the webtoon. In short, It is not something that cann't be seen but don't expect the big thing from the drama.

I started to watch the drama for Yuki. I was not that interested in the drama but the trailer, in the end, ended up capturing my attention.

The story seems confusing but it is much simpler than it seems. A girl seeks revenge for the "supposed" death of her sister and her suffering.

During the first 2 chapters you already know who is who and on which side is each one of the board. It is not a story with an incredible suspense or with a great twits plot but until chapter 6 it was able to keep you expectant. Not because of the plot itself, but because of how everything was going to be resolved.

However (and here comes my great anger) is what happens during chapter 6 and 7. Suddenly everything changes and revenge is directed towards her protagonist of the person you least expected

I don' t want to give too many spoilers but the ending is very mediocre and rushed. It's not a great drama either, but the performances by the entire cast, along with the cinematography and the ost, were very good.

It hurts that disappointing ending that leaves you frozen and with a feeling that you wasted your time.

A drama that seemed to have potential but ended up being a total failure.

I had mentioned it before, the more Netflix was promoting this drama, the more people were hating it. You literally had to go to Netflix and the first thing that appeared was Hierarchy.
So people would come in and look at it.
And then they left angry, for just reasons.

When I started watching it, which was when it came out. The first chapter is really engaging. You don't understand the protagonist very well at first but after a couple of minutes, the truth is quickly revealed. He was there to avenge the death of his older brother. He was just playing dumb so that no one would suspect why he was there.

The first 3 chapters show that the protagonist is really there to destroy and find out who was responsible for his brother's death.

After that, the drama takes a nosedive and the protagonist's original goal is slowly blurred by a stupid love triangle. Which wasn't necessary at all.

The protagonist is really very stupid. I don't know if she was playing with the feelings of her ex-partner and the protagonist or what did she really intend because her motives are never explained.

Many compare this with Elite, honestly I have seen two episodes and then I forgot about this series because I wasn't very interested in it and I don't usually watch series in Spanish. So I don't really know what Elite is about. I can only compare it to The Glory.

The fact that teenagers did adult things is not something that bothered me because as I said before, I had seen it in glory and generally in real life kids do those things.

The problem arises when the protagonist first breaks up with her ex-partner. It wasn't like a normal teenage breakup, but rather it seemed like they had been married for years and were in the process of divorcing. What the fuck?

At first the protagonist supported the protagonist but when she finds out that the target was her ex-partner, she goes crazy and begins to threaten the protagonist so that he does not mess with her ex-partner.

Let's see, your ex-partner did unjust things and you know it very well. You know he's not a good person but even though you broke up with him. Do you want to protect it? Clarify girl please .

The ex is real trash. He literally keeps saying repeatedly that no one can mess with what is "his." He literally treated the protagonist as his toy, a thing of his own that no one but him could touch. He doesn't even treat her like a human being.
He keeps her isolated and doesn't allow her to have friends besides his own friends, who he knew posed no danger. Whoever dared to approach her would receive serious consequences. He didn't love her, he was obsessed with her, like a mentally ill person.

It doesn't matter that you gave me "happy" moments between the protagonist and him. It was a toxic relationship, pure and simple.

Even so, and knowing what her ex-partner was like, the protagonist doesn't give a shit and decides to protect him. Romanticizing the toxic relationship they had. It is noted that the protagonist does not have a single neuron functioning correctly.

There is a phrase that the protagonist says that makes me laugh a lot: "You and I can't be together because when we are together we harm other people." But let's see, were you born an idiot or did you fall at birth? Obviously bad things happen because your boyfriend is a fucking psychopath, obsessive and jealous and you see this and do nothing to stop it.

They want to soften this crazy man's attitude, making you see that Oh, poor thing, his mother doesn't give him love! Shit, your family situation doesn't justify what you're doing.

Then there is the problem that we know nothing about the protagonist. Has family? Where does he live? How did he manage to get into an elite school? None of that is explained because they were focused on a stupid love triangle, instead of explaining things as simple as these to us.

The teacher was a shitty person, not just because she slept with her student and had a relationship with him. If not because she covers everything they are doing participates in everything they is doing. Her punishment for her was very light. She should have gone to fucking jail.

The revenge? It remains in nothing. And the resolution of this was the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life.

Lastly and to make matters worse, she goes on a final date with her ex-boyfriend. Where does she thank him, because according to her, she was able to survive thanks to him... eh Hello? How exactly did he help you survive if you had a relationship that was too toxic? It was the protagonist, in any case, who gave you the courage to face your father, spread your wings and get out of there. Not your ex-partner, the only thing your partner did was lock you in a cage so that no one but him could have you and make you emotionally dependent on him. For the love of God!

The protagonist stupidly runs to see her for the last time. Excuse me, where was the pain of losing your older brother?

The actress does not have good acting skills. Although her character had to remain impassive and not show any emotion because her father had taught her that showing her feelings was being weak. When he manages to express himself, you don't know if his smile is because he is happy or he is pretending, he still has the same poker face. She doesn't even know how to cry well.

The protagonist gave a decent performance. He wouldn't say he's extraordinary but he's decent.

Then it's all rubbish. And although the drama is short, the length of the chapters are not. So I can't even recommend this thing.

Netflix instead of spending millions on cinematography, brings good dramas. With good performances and a good story.
Don't keep investing millions of dollars in crappy stories.

I recommend it? Absolutely not. Don't waste your time with this.

PS: The score of 7.0 is too generous for this shitty drama.

I honestly don't understand people who can give a bad rating. I'm sorry but really if you see this and give it a bad score, your taste is bad.

Personally I am a person of simple tastes and only from time to time I allow myself to see such psychological dramas (don't get me wrong, I love psychology but depending on how my mood can affect me a lot or not). But really this drama is one of the best I've ever seen in my sight.

The direction, the cinematography, the OST and the acting are wonderful. I really loved the chapters where the her protagonist's tale were recreated; I really cried a lot in those episodes.

To count more would be sacrilege. I think they are one of those series where you really don't have to spoilers yourself, you have to look at it as if you were the first time.

The only thing I can say is that it treats all kinds of psychiatric / psychological disorders in a very beautiful way. It really is the first time that I consider that Netflix took care of absolutely all the details.

Is Nanno really a demon or Yuri is the personification of evil in this world?

I decided to do the review again because I don't think I explained enough and I don't agree with them treating Nanno like a demon and also with justifying Yuri.

I'll talk about Nanno first. Nanno is a karmic entity, in reality she is not that cruel with her punishments. It depends on what that person has done. Nanno gives her punishment but without going overboard. In reality she has never killed anyone. She has her limits and what makes Nanno unique is that she represents karma in the human world, and she is also intelligent enough to know human nature.

Now let's talk about Yuri. Yuri has been evil since she was human. She firmly believed in unlimited revenge and justified her actions. If she had listened to Nanno she would not have fallen so low. But her limitless thirst for revenge made her what she is now. Where Yuri does not leave any reflection regarding the actions of humans, for her the only solution is to kill and kill without mercy.

I think Nanno didn't realized it, at first (it's my theory) that his blood could revive Yuri. She perhaps didn't even know that her blood could create another being but then she realized it, when she saw Yuri again.

Obviously Nanno's plans never come to fruition because Yuri always meddles and ruins things with his killing spree.

Yuri starts a war with Nanno and clearly his goal is to destroy Nanno forever.

Nanno begins to feel human feelings and begins to empathize with humans.

In the last chapter, when Yuri asks her if she gave her final verdict, Nanno does not answer, she remains thoughtful and with a sad look.
In the end I think Nanno was not able to give a verdict because he understood both sides. And before the girl kills her mother, she stops her by hurting herself. Sadly they end up "killing Nanno". She no longer laughs, she only cries silently, perhaps because it was realized that no matter what the human being did the world not learn.

The only one who laughs is Yuri, she thinks she has beaten Nanno and wants to make the world where they kill each other without mercy.

In the end, unfortunately for Yuri, Nanno is seen with his back observing at both Yuri and the other girl, with whom he shared his blood. Because she knew that that girl's goal was to kill, that was normal for her.

Nanno makes a final reflection. Was his existence in the human world really necessary? Would anything change if she continued to exist? Because she realized that Yuri had created a world where humans take justice into their own hands without remorse or punishment.

Clearly Nanno is necessary in this world because there must be a balance.

For me Nanno is the yin (stillness, which makes the world a little fairer) and Yuri is the yan (restlessness, imbalance and evil).

Let's say that both are necessary, for better or worse, because they are the balance of this world.

The reason why I dislike Yuri so much is that despite having been human, she has no humanity, she doesn't reflect on anything she does or leave a message. Her only stupid solution is for people to kill each other and she enjoys seeing that chaos. Despite having been human, she is really stupid, her reasoning is stupid in itself. Maybe it's because she, being human before, was really evil.

I know it takes both sides to create balance. But I hope that in the next season Yuri is eliminated by Nanno, because she already crosses the line.

So my question for you is: Who really is the personification of evil? Nanno who tries to punish, in a not very harsh way, and leaves a message for those who commit crimes and realize the consequences of their actions? Or Yuri, whose only goal is to create evil and make humans kill each other without remorse?

firmly believe that people who are upset with this drama is because it didn't end with Seo.

Heck, I was watching this drama while it's still on the air and it was a complete disaster. People even got the actors involved for a stupid ship.

Now having clarified this, it seems to me an excellent drama. Again we find a drama that shows us bullying for not fitting the standard of beauty. The growth of all the characters is excellent, however I want to stop here: Why do people think that Seo is an angel and Suho a demon? As much as it seems more "fun" I must remember that he did not approach Lim with good intentions, he only wanted to use her to harm Suho. He only stopped when he found out that Lim protected his sister. He also helped to further traumatize Suho by making him fully responsible for his friend's death and even telling him that he didn't deserve to be happy. Sure he had a good development, but from the beginning he did not have good intentions. Even when Lim and Suho were dating, he also did questionable things.

Regarding the triangle, there is nothing to really complain about: Lim never played with Seo and he always knew that who he loved was Suho. Point. This is not Love Alarm.

And believe me as a longtime fan of the webtoon I can safely say this: the drama did him a favor. The story went into an infinite loop where Lim's superficiality has increased, at least in the drama everyone had their growth and a happy ending.

So yeah, just get over the damn ship and see the drama for what it is. Believe me you can see that it is a good drama and it is highly recommended.

Oh hell, I don't even know where I should start.

I really think it's not wrong to admit that many, and the appeal of this drama, watched this for Song Kang. During the first season everything was centered on Sunoh and Jojo, but in the second season this changed completely and if you watched it 10 seconds it was a lot.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry because Jojo did break up with Sunoh (in fact it was for the best because she literally played and trampled his feelings. She didn't deserve Sunoh as the "second") , but because of the mistreatment the director gave him, when he was the lure of the drama.

And I want to say something, Sunoh was not a bad person. He was the most honest character; he didn't "steal" anything from his friend. He gave her many opportunities to admit that she liked Jojo and even told her that she had to choose. Her friend just fell silent, chasing her like a bloody stalker.
He was sincere with Jojo, as well as his girlfriend. He never lied or played with anyone. It was just direct and doing what he wanted to do, without lying to anyone.

His friend played good person and Jojo ... OMG, I don't even know what to say. I think her cousin ended up being a better person than her. Having a sad past does not justify playing with people's feelings. Jojo wasn't one bloody honest time, not even out of compassion. She just ran away, as always. She didn't care who she hurt in the way, only his fucking feelings mattered.

Everything was so badly executed. The ost was crap and the only thing that stood out was the cinematography. I already knew who I would end up with, I just hoped they did something decent but they had 2 years to make a fucking disappointment.
The message is lost in the face of such sloppiness. I really don't recommend anyone to see this. And if you want to see it, just watch the first season until chapter 6, which is the only recommed.

Continuation of the drama but this time recounting Kira's traumatic past.

I really liked how the subject was treated and Kirishima's final performance was excellent as well. He knew how to deceive the viewer very well, both from the drama to the film; it was quite a box of surprises.

I really liked the ending and from my point of view it was consistent with each part that each character played and very well executed!

Like the drama, I recommend watching it because when you think it's all over there is more suspense!

Highly recommended.

One can understand that these are movies and it is fiction but I think that sometimes there are limits to romanticizing toxicity.

The protagonist liked the protagonist but she was too childish to say it, she preferred to be a bastard who put her down and made her feel like trash and the protagonist ... oh my god, she didn't have a bit of dignity.

It was painful to see how even her friends realized the situation but normalized it.

The performances were good but the movie is so horrendous and leaves such an ugly message that it just isn't enough to make up for this.

Sometimes I wonder how you can ruin a shojo manga that is finished so long ago and that the plot is not complicated at all?

I just don't get it.
I don't know what happened here, if it was the bad acting or the little chemistry that there was between the actors? Everything was so gloomy lol when actually in manga there are moments where you laugh.

It was simply: either this was misdirected or the cast was very poorly chosen. In any case it did not work.

I don't recommend it at all because it is boring and with mediocre performances, especially from the female lead.

Drama that was good only until the first half. When the same author of the webtoon gets upset and explains that her own ideas as an original writer were not taken into consideration, you know something was wrong.

Seol is character easy to empathize with. Anyone who has or is going through the university can feel 100% identified with it. Plus she had real problems like anyone in their 20s. So that made connecting with her a lot easier.

Now, Yoo Jung, a very discriminating character. With him there is no middle ground, either you hate him or you try to let the story tell you why this is so. Yes, because believe me in the Webtoon they explain in greater detail why he is like that. He wasn't bad but his way of raising had made it that way and everyone used it. I don't defend it, in fact neither the webtoon is made for you to justify it, but for you to understand that there are people who need help and it is not that they are precisely bad but the drama could not / didn't want to represent this.
With a direction that had much more preferences towards the Baek In actor, and that gave him too much screen time, heroic situations, and stories that didn't exist in the webtoon, you can clearly say why Yoo Jung was so wronged.

Everyone did a great job, however I can't feel sympathy for Baek In when you know that his character was not originally like that and was only benefited by being the director's favorite.

I have watched this drama so many times and I think I will never tire of watching it. My ID is gangnam style is about a cruel reality, which unfortunately many women go through; either for fitting or not fitting the beauty standard.

Here you will not see things painted pink. You will see what eating disorders, sexual harassment, bullying, aggressive comments towards women, gender violence and much more really are.

Romance is cute and many times it made my heart pound lol but Eunwoo certainly did a good job. You adore him from the get-go, because he's one of the only decent men in the drama along with the sunbae. And he's not a jealous or obsessive boyfriend either. He understands Mirae and waits for her, although as he says, he takes care of her so that no one hurts her.

Even though Sua is a despicable character, you come to understand and pity her. I am very happy to see her change in the end and that she could learn to accept that not everything happens for her natural beauty.

I certainly think it is a highly recommended drama that everyone should see. The message that is left is very clear and beautiful.
It is also gratifying to see how Mirae heals and begins to love herself, despite everything.

My only complaint would be that they were promoting weight loss pills or drinks ... that was a bit of a contradiction. However, I highly recommend it ♡
