WOW. As a girl, well. This certainly made me realise a lot of things about myself. I really like this movie because of how open and understanding it is. Its also very respectful, everything is done with consent and love and limits and boundaries. I thought it would freak me out like Fifty shades of grey at first but this is definitiely much better than that horrendous movie. I also didn't expect to like seeing a woman be dominant over a man this much, it was so refreshing to see because we all know its always the men who have power over women in medias like this..

Female doms just..wow, really made me discover a whole new side to myself and it made me realise what i like!
Im not gonna go in full detail about that lol, but this movie is pretty educational and I really recommend it !!

Cried my Soul out

I really really hope for a season 2 and FAST!!
I think yesterday was its 2 year anniversary which I can't believe its already been this long??? The hell are they doing waiting this long to give us another season????
Seriously though, this kdrama will tug at your heartstrings and make you weep like a child. I even got my mother to watch this and shes not the biggest fans of kdramas but she loved this one, that says a lot!
Not one episode will leave you bored, everything is just well paced and interesting- every character has their own story and its always so beautifully told and revealed. The scene where his father died tho...Goddamn. Cried my soul out, I feel like that also felt so unnecessary even though it lowkey was necessary for the plot but whatever!!! It sucked going through that, the dad was the sweetest :(((((

This is one of those kdramas that make you feel empty once youre finished because you develop such a strong connection between the characters and feel as if youre the one living their life or atleast being a part of their life. It makes you think about your life in such a philosophical way...like was it ever that deep? Lol, it made me want to be zen about everything, like everything will be alright, why am I stressing so much when everything evetually passes? Why am I so stuck on this? Everything finds its own path and that person you're looking for will come to you one day, whether you're the type to wait or not, they will come- because fated things always happen. Your fate is not overlooked, your time will come and you will enjoy things again.

Its just such a beautiful kdrama with a beautiful message..please if you ever feel low or in need of a slightly dark yet pure kdrama, then this is it really! Every episode will not make you bored.

WOAH JUST ...WOAH


today i finally finished my mister kdrama and i….i have so many things to say about this one. first of all i got this recommended by a tiktoker, the person first said ‘this kdrama changed the way i live’ that might’ve been a little exaggerated but honestly …i did not expect it to have this much of an impact on me. i don’t speak about kdramas like this often but you could’ve probably guessed by the ones i do post that i watch romantic based dramas mostly. and dramas like my mister which don’t contain romance at all aren’t usually up my taste because i don’t like serious stuff— especially when they leave an impact on me. what i mean by that is basically they leave me with a feeling i can’t explain. i feel this way when a movie or a tv show ends in a sort of happy way but im not satisfied with it but i can’t do anything about it…and that’s how it felt with this kdrama. i’ve cried so much watching it, and i don’t cry that much when i watch shows or movies. at first my perspective on the show was romanticised, which is something i despise about my brain. why do i always have to make everything romantic?…but watching it further and getting attached to characters and realising that the point in this story wasn’t romance but the connection you make with a person. whether it be platonic or not, which was the case in here. i wanted both of the main leads to end up together which is actually a really bad idea cus of the age gap😭 but when you grow further into the story i realised just how much of an impact a non romantic ship can have on me…which has never happened before. i’m not sure what to call the main leads’ dynamic. maybe father daughter duo? but that sounds kinda fucked because the girl liked him…so i’ll just stick with soulmates. because— AGGHH i can’t explain why, you just have to watch. they care for each other so deeply when no one else did, and though there was love which was one sided- the story wasn’t focused on that. it was focused on their support for one another and how even though there was something unreciprocated separating them, they couldn’t just let go of one another like that. idk…sorry for the rant- i just really love this kdrama..yup

i feel like at start i shipped donghoon and jian as well but they’re so much more better when they grew as close friends. there’s many people saying they would’ve appreciated a ‘kiss’ or a real hug but wouldn’t have that just ruined everything? i get that donghoons wife cheated on him which is a big part of why i ended up shipping him with jian in the first place (she treated him mmuuuuuch better) but from donghoons perspective that would just be out of character and just…wrong. he has a kid he needs to still raise, making him fall in love with a 20 year old just because she showed kindness to him at his worst stage would make his character very different in my opinion. donghoon knew jian liked him but he never let that ruin what they had, and i loved that. he drew a line between them and understood that this was just a pitiful soul just like him who seeked comfort and that happened to be him ..and he seeked comfort in jian as well. thats what made this story so compelling to watch. they loved each other so much, and i truly believe donghoon might even love jian more than his own wife (which is understandable). i feel like i could rant about this kdrama forever holy fuck😭😭😭

Okay being completely honest here, I started this kdrama because of Rowoon but man...this kdrama was so boring. Most of the time the plot just kept circling around and doing the same thing over and over again. I was just praying it would get a little bit more interesting as episodes kept playing. And if Im being honest the main characters who ended up together in the end didnt even seem all that much in love with each other lol...it just seemed like they tired each other out before their relationship could even start. But I digress.. If the kdrama wants us to believe that they got married happily ever after then so be it! Not many likeable characters in here though...really had a tough time liking anyone.

Welp

Like I said before, Suzy bae is one of my favourite actresses of all time along with Nam Joohyuk so you'd think this'll be a biased review but if im being totally honest, this was also one of those kdramas where it was just really a drag to get through. Suzys silly acting and humor along with Joohyuks is what made it a bit more bearable tbh. Seonho as well, I love him as an actor and he did so well as well. Both of the love interests made it hard for me to choose a lane because I honestly liked Suzy with both of them! Really overall well done but it was boring at times!

Well...that was something

I'm gonna tell you rn that I already watched all three seasons and i can easily say season 1 will never be beaten. SUCH A GOOD WELL DONE KDRAMA! The drama, the subtle humor, the action, romance aaahhhhhhhhhhhh JUST YES!! A long kdrama which allows so much development between characters which is what makes it so good. BUT....Holy shit what are the last two seasons? From killing characters unnecessarily to making one of the actors literally be lowkey racist towards the black people??? Bruh,,, I know yall know what I'm talking about. Them making that guys twin be a dude w dreadlocks and talking in a blaccent was NOT it. But yeah, season 1 outsold.

Wholesome father daughter story

There’s not much to say for this movie, its nothing special or ‘never done before’, it actually reminded me a lot of the K-Drama ‘moved’ with the whole flying around and lifting stuff up in the air thing.

The story following a girl who loses everything, her mom, her job, everything, to a famous construction company since they wanted to bulldoze her chicken shop.
Her father heard of the news and decided to help her despite their relationship being rocky.

I wish they had told us the reason he left them. Surely it must’ve been bigger than just him leaving because he couldn’t afford staying with them. Imagine leaving your family and getting a divorce over that…😭

However it was a nice story between him and his daughter. And though the movie doesn’t really have any other plots going on around it other than the main thing which is winning against the construction company, it was still enjoyable to binge while i’m bored.

Cute little movie to watch! I recommend it.

Movie that makes you feel like you’re constantly on edge

Alright to be fair I kind of didn’t know what the hell was going on throughout the movie but that was just because I watched it on an app that translated it really badly- so most of the time I just had to guess what they were trying to say LMAO

But , I do have to say this movie kept me on my toes. I wanted to start this mainly because of Kim Seonho because I Looooove his acting, and he definitely showed how much of a versatile actor he is, because after seeing him in such a serious/badass light- I want to see him in a romantic one too!!

Anyway to go back to the movie, I really liked the concept and the theme of it, although I think the pacing was a little messy because half of the time I got confused about what the hell was happening, unless that was the point of the movie…then they did a great job.

Towards the end though, I wish they gave a little bit more of a solid reason why Seonhos character decided to help Marco instead of the whole ‘they’re both from the same organisation’, like why the sudden change of heart? He was going to earn money either way. But I guess that doesn’t really matter, the story wasn’t about him I guess.

And I also wished they maybe explained why the fake dad was so insistent on Marco to stay, they had me seriously convinced that they were father and son— unless that old man just wanted him to stay to get his surgery lol…

Anyway the thought of being in that situation is honestly terrifying but the plotwist was crazy, but nonetheless a very sweet ending.

I also can’t help but wonder if maybe Marco and Seonhos character could be related? But maybe those were just my hopes speaking. They look nothing alike to be related LOL but still, they have the potential I guess.

Overall the movie was pretty entertaining , a bit confusing but good. Kim Seonho doesn’t disappoint! Very good action movie!!

Stranger things vibes

At first it was a little boring and had a slow start, I had a really hard time watching it and figured I might drop it, but then my friend started watching it and she went a lot further with the show and started to talk to me about how good it is and that I should continue it, so I listened, and i’m glad I did!!!

Trust me, once they get into the hospital (wink wonk), shit goes DOWN! It’s so good.

The arcs built up, the way they connect things to each other and the way all of it slowly gets revealed.

I don’t want to spoil much but to say overall, this gave me a lot of stranger things vibes at first and I was lowkey here for it, they did it really well— it was like….watching schindlers list mixed with strangers things almost?

The betrayals the sacrifices, this will bring you to tears, truly. Also the ending had me jump out of my seat!!!! I hope season 2 happens!
I never really liked the actor (park seojoon) and didn’t think he and han sohee fit each other but they showed their chemistry and i enjoyed it a lot.

Its a good watch, 10eps, perfect honestly, they didn’t drag it out (except for maybe a little in the beginning but then again i am very impatient) , built the drama up well, every new ep something new gets revealed, although theres still some plotholes like (***spoiler) how does lady maeda know about chaeoks mother and what kind of teacher was she to her? why were they so deeply connected that lady maeda remembers her? also was the japanese painter in love w chaeoks mother?😂 this one is just my personal theory.

Anyway I recommend this! Good watch!

Such an interesting plot!!

I would like to imagine that when one dies they get to experience this, I’m not sure if the rules are the same when you sin (by killing yourself) and then you can only go through what he did or if in general people who die of natural causes die and go through that. I for one would like to experience different lives honestly, watching this from an outsider’s perspective isn’t the same so maybe I would regret saying that but watching this story unfold was so thrilling!!

Each character had their own problems and backgrounds, and the way the story came full circle on the second to last person his body entered to and then him entering his mothers body…what a plotwist!!!

Shows like this always keep me in check when I have bad thoughts and they make me realise that fighting through the bad will get me far. It really is not worth throwing life away over inconveniences that will one day end.

Very beautiful, I recommend it!!!

Gay people having a sad story once again

Coming into this film I knew that it’s not going to be some wholesome movie where two gay guys fall for each other and live a happy life. So a story between these two ensues and it’s extremely sad, and it delivers it well!

Though I was confused sometimes if Birdy was gay at all or not, he just seemed to be a lil too comfortable with his friends (it’s confirmed he’s gay later though).

The movie wasn’t anything special in my opinion, I’ve seen plenty stories where two guys are in an environment where they can’t be who they are so an angsty romance story starts between them.

However the movie is really beautiful and well done in showing their love story. The one thing I liked most is how music is what connected them most and their song in the movie is actually the title of the movie (or just a lyric i’m not sure) but the song is beautiful and i’m definitely adding it to my spotify playlist.

I also appreciate how they made a timeskip and made their older versions reunite, it makes me hope that they continued their love- maybe not since they were hesitant with each other but I think in the end they did try again. Love never expires and i’m sure both of them were waiting to find each other again even after all the years that passed.

Anyway the story is really beautiful, I unfortunately have a very short time span so I kept pausing and stopping the movie which led me to finish it in 2 days so I couldn’t exactly bond with the characters on the level where I would cry on their sad scenes but watching the sad scenes I kept thinking to myself how hard I would cry if only I had connected to them better. Their sad scenes really do tug on your heartstrings.

So sad how love in different forms isn’t accepted. Beautiful film.

Get ready to cry

I knew what I was getting myself into when starting this, from seeing the sad edits of this movie on tiktok and instagram, I just knew I had to watch it.

Despite this movie having a sad ending, it’ll also tell a beautiful story at the same time, and I knew that’s exactly what i’ll get, and I did!

It’s one of those movies that leave you heartbroken, or with that feeling you can’t really describe but you feel yourself grieving as if it’s you who’s going through it and not the characters.

Stories like these are heart wrenching, but it’s important to show these type of stories too. No matter how much you love someone, no matter how happy you once were with them, or how right it felt to be with them, when you’re not meant to be with someone, then you’re just not meant to be.

This story is something I connected with from my life, granted I didn’t have a marvellous ‘will they won’t they’ love story like they did, but some fragments of the story I could resonate with, and it’s true how you could go from loving someone and willing to fight to be with them, to having a fleeting moment of regret. It is something that will sneak up on you, no matter how many times you say you love this person.

On your wedding day was raw and funny and beautiful. It will make you cry…maybe, but it’ll most definitely leave you with an aching heart.

I rooted for them at the start and all the way till when they started dating, but once they broke up- I could just tell the spark wasn’t there anymore, and even if there were still unspoken feelings and longing ones too, there’s a moment that you allow yourself to see that this is not the person that will take a path with you but they will remain as a fond memory and that is equally beautiful too.

Very sad yet beautiful movie, watch it when you can!

No Hyunsu, barely s1 cast

Since i started this show couple of days ago because my friend told me to start it because season 2 is coming soon, most of my friends already watched it and tiktok spoiled a lot of stuff too. So I knew what I was getting myself into.

But like everyone said, yes, basically Hyunsu was barely a main character in there and the story revolved mostly around the military characters. I can’t lie the beginning of season 2 was really good but then somewhere inbetween I got bored because they kept showing characters that we didn’t know and their storylines, giving them arcs and sad moments but I didn’t care about them at all!

Like that woman who was like the second boss to people in the stadium and who kept that monster hidden, I don’t know if at the end of the episode she was given this plot so we feel bad for her because I certainly don’t. I don’t even care if that’s her family, like I don’t care about her or what happens to her, same thing with her daughter.

I think the only characters that I cared about were the original casting and the 3 main characters from the military and thats about it.

I think season 2 was a filler season for season 3 and I’m expecting it to be a lot more plot based around Hyunsu and the original casting a bit more! Especially since the ending showed another character from season 1 coming back!! I’m excited!!
