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.

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.

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.

How to romanticize a crime

I started out watching this drama not really knowing anything. I just saw that there were a lot of people who seemed to like her so I decided to check her out. I regret it and it makes me feel a bit dirty watching it. Not because of its sexual content, but because I was watching a drama that romanticizes pedophilia. Because there is no other way to call him, Wako is a pedophile.

The woman is 32 years old and has no better idea than to commit abuse first, because having performed oral sex on a minor who was in a defenseless state is ABUSE, and then committing another crime which is going out and having sex with a BOY 15 YEARS OLD.

I mean, this lady passed me by a few years of age but something similar happened to me before. Where a minor of the same age was attracted to me. And although I was 23 years old, it seemed aberrant to reciprocate, so I simply rejected it. Therefore, I can't understand what the heck Wako had in his head.

The drama tries to make you empathize with Wako (I mean at some points, outside of her pedophilia, I can understand it) but it becomes impossible when seeing the macabre power relationship that exists between her being an adult and a he being an minor.

At a certain point, they turn Yumeaki into a potential femicide by having violent and controlling behaviors. But come on guys, it's just A CHILD. He doesn't even have a defined personality. They make Yumeaki a perpetrator instead of a victim and Wako a victim.

Everything is backwards. And although there are warnings that it is a crime to date a minor and news appears that refer to this crime, in the drama there is no strong criticism of this. It's all about being unfaithful and not about being a fucking pedophile.

The ending is not encouraging either. Since everyone fulfills their dreams and seems to be happy. The crime? My ovaries. It seems that it never existed.

I know it's from a manga, I have no idea who it is or what it is like. I'm only based on the drama but if Netflix is ​​going to adapt a manga, that is not one where a pedophilia is romanticized, damn it.

Because believe it or not there are people who think this is "wonderful".

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.

Well I'm a bit disappointed in this season. I really wanted them to explain Nanno's story, what is her it or what is its true goal.

In the first season she just seemed like a demon who had fun playing with both the victims and the perpetrators. In this season she seems more of a karmic entity, which makes me even more confused as to what her true goal is.

Yuri like her counterpart seemed boring to me. Nanno in this season is karma and Yuri is revenge... but really I also don't understand the point of her character.

Regarding the messages, except the first three (I mean that the first was a BIG SHOCK; I understood that the boy had to suffer the same consequences but it seemed to me a number of strange scenes with absurd situations) are vague and not as clear as the one in the first season. The series is not bad and although it seems to you that you are seeing the strangest thing in the world, it hooks a lot. The problem is that I don't find the point to the series or a message in general and this season it was worse because it only served to introduce Yuri. So I would not know whether to recommend it or not because sometimes the series makes you feel strange and confused about what you are watching.

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 ♡

I really don't know what to say without being killed but I think this adaptation is what makes Itazura na Kiss get marked with a cross.

Baek is one of the worst and cruelest Irie that could have been done. This takes many points away from this adaptation. Also, Kim Joon Hyung's acting is not remarkable at all. It is not bad but not good either.

Although I think the rest of the cast did very well and I really liked Oh Hani here. Like Baek's mom and brother (who I consider the best).

Although it must also be said that the worst Kin chan is the one from here. Besides being violent and brute, is also very cruel when Chris appears.

It's not the worst adaptation or anything but I don't think it's the best and more so when you enter the world of Itakiss.
