It is a very sweet and commemorative drama. It makes you think a lot about how people with these disabilities live, since even the character of Evan Lin makes it clear, and makes you think that we should be grateful to be healthy.

Wen Peng's character is fine for me. Since his clumsiness, tenacity and even his childish attitude made him able to open up and try to be happy.
For Evan Lin's debut he did very well. It is not easy to play a person with these disabilities and the chemistry between Evan and Wen was sensational.

Honestly, it was the first time that I only wanted to see the interaction of the protagonists because with their chemistry everything became boring.

I sincerely recommend it very much. I was very moved watching it. So 100/100 recommended

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.

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".

I started watching this drama because I was bored. I guess sometimes from dramas that you don't expect anything, they tend to be a big surprise! And this was it. Pleasantly.

From the beginning i'm was hooked and although there are situations that made me laugh because they were absurd, I was still hooked to know what would happen with Nao and Tsubaki; who had really killed Tsubaki's father and if Nao was willing to forgive him, despite everything.

This drama has so many twists and turns that you don't really expect what will happen, which makes it unsure if Tsubaki and Nao would finally stick together. Not because they were a toxic couple but because the circumstances that surrounded them + like both of them, willing or not, had injured each other a lot, it was not known if they were capable of forgiving each other.

That part was very realistic because they loved each other but they still had in mind what was happening between them and that it would not be easy for them.

The soundtrack was very good and the acting was great too so I highly recommend it.

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.

I am a huge fan of Strobe edge. It was the first manga I read by Io Sakisaka and I loved it.

The story is very simple and cliché actually but I still like the manga that give off innocence such as the first love and everything that this entails but when I saw the cast I knew that it would not work and I was not wrong.

Arimura does not strike me as a good actress. She has seen her in other dramas and she always has the same face. She is not expressive at all and she was not a good choice to represent Ninako. She never conveyed the sweetness of the real Ninako to me. She just looked like a girl without expression.

And Sota ... I'm sorry but she doesn't seem like a good actor either. I love Ren and maybe that's why it was painful for me to see him play him because he didn't do a good job.

Neither of them had chemistry and they didn't convey anything to me.

I would really only recommend that you stick with the manga and that's it.

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.

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.

This movie exists because the drama was a disaster.

When I made my review, I stated that the biggest conflict that existed was between the director (who did what she wanted) and the author (whose ideas and calls were not respected).

Considering this and with an angry Korean audience it was normal that they wanted to do a "compensatory".

I really have no idea why some actors agreed to be in the movie and others didn't but the webtoon was portrayed in a good way. Of course, if you compare it to the drama, it seems very little. But it's not that bad, it's just not a big deal and it was noted that it was made to calm the waters a bit. That if, if you don't know the story previously, you will surely think "What the hell am I seeing?" because it's quite confusing trying to suppress so much in such a short time.

Well I'm new to watching web dramas so it was the first time I was hooked on one. And mainly with a long one (yes, I know it has a prequel but I haven't seen it yet).

The actors, although they are newbies, acted very well. I mean, I see a great promising future for everyone.

The story is very good, although it seems simple. I mean, it's about guys in their 20s and their problems. Which sometimes, I portray the reality of some young people very well.

The family drama was great, and I think that was the focal point of the plot. My only complaint would be that they left a lot of loose cavities. For example, we knew that the protagonist had problems with his family but there was not really a resolution of it; more than he discovered the truth. The protagonist's friend was the one who left the most unknowns. His family seemed weird but none of that is ever described. They also left open their past with bullying and their friend. I think I suppose that this will be explained in the second season (since it is left open to that possibility)

Regarding the romance: I am not complaining about how rushed it was because after all it is a webdrama so things usually go fast lol but it is true that sometimes the chemistry seemed a bit uncomfortable. More than anything its silences.

Although there were many things under the inkwell, I liked it and it entertained me. And I look forward to a second season so I can see that they give a proper closure to all the characters.

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.

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.

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.

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 ♡

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.
