The ending made me felt like I wasted my time watching it

The jumps between the time lines through out the movie was horrible ,,made me confused at first ,, thought the story would go somewhere unpredictable but it's worse ,, it was actually as it showed
It was a Bromance between the police officer and the gangster but I didn't like the ending at all
the male lead was used from every side and he became the thing he was hunting at the first place
the movie is ok but not perfect
the acting of the leads was the best
Im Siwan is my favorite young actor in this genera but they didn't use all his potential too

Alcohol prohibiting in Joseon era that's it ,, poor Romance ,, Draggy drama and messy plot

This drama came out with very exciting other korean dramas on air such as Bulgasal , Bad and crazy and Red sleeve
Between the four dramas of course the other three win over this one ,, I'm not comparing but it started at bad timing
I've tried to like it and convince my self it's as good as them or even close but it didn't help me much
started light and funny so it was okey at first ,, light drama doesn't have melodrama or much violence talking about prohibiting alcohol and may be aspiring bromance between the male lead that what I wished for
but it disappointed me big time when it became all about Alcohol and Alcohol only
I loved the second male lead and some funny scenes but I got lost in the middle and became so confused of How many characters appearing on the evil side ,, I didn't even know where is the evil side because the female lead was working with them so I've became a passive viewer ,, go with the flow don't try to understand who is with whom ,, your head will hurt for no reason
they attempt to make love triangle and it was annoying ,, the romance seemed forced not as smooth as I hoped ,, so many accidents and running around in repetitive circles ,, people getting pushed over a mountain while being stabbed or with arrow in their chest and they still lived ,, actually no one dies in this drama till the final episode they some how come back from worst injury always and that was the most irritating because it was illogical at all even for a fictional character ,, if it's not wuxia chinese drama these injuries kill people
Over all the story dragged for a long time following the rebellious female lead who became a hero because she freed the Alcohol from prohibition
All the political nonsense were too much for such drama and felt out of place
the male lead was useless most of time ,,, a lot of characters were useless also such as the female lead's brother
I really really didn't like this drama at all and I've became to dislike the female lead at the end of it ,, she got on my nerves
They made me feel sorry for the two lovers villains at the last episode ,, How ridiculous is that
very disappointed and annoyed by this drama so much ,, I can't even describe how much

powerful drama with a lot of pain and sacrifice

Die ten life times for the one you love most
this is the message that this drama is telling ,, How to give your self completely to the one you love no matter how much you suffer or hurt even from them
The first half of the drama wasn't that strong and I got bored a little at the beginning ,, I was so annoyed with the Female lead's stupidity ,, she has the lowest IQ ,,, I got annoyed a lot of her lack of good judgment till episode 20 then she started to have some common sense and to grow up a bit .... the writer made the lack of her senses is the reason she was stupid but I don't think that was logical ,, may be the lack of her senses can make her cold or arogenate or heartless but not full on love and stupid hahaha
the second half of the drama it became more powerful and really exciting ,, I was really interested and involved more in the story in the second half ,, I didn't like the misunderstandings between the leads but I liked the male lead's suffering ,, it was really good Whump ,,this drama is considered the king of Whumper (hurt male lead the most )
The acting
was perfect from every single actor ,, they are all were the best ,, I enjoyed their performance and their unique characterization to every one of them ,,, every one has his own story yet it didn't get lost along the way and every one has his own purpose and happy ending ,, I really really liked that
I liked every thing about the second part of the drama that I want to repeat it again and again
This drama deserves all the hype around it ,, you just need to withstand the first few episodes and you will be surprised How good this drama is ,, the second part of it was The best
I recommend it so much to any one but I will advice always to bare the first half of it so you can enjoy the rest

Annoying Female character ruined the whole thing

I think I'm a masochist watching this Horrid drama
I kept watching for the friendship ,, but I was so annoyed with the female lead and ridiculous passiveness of the first male lead
I struggled to keep watching ,, I kept skipping a lot
I can't imagine How much the writer and director hated that actress or hated that character
they perfected the portrayal of the most annoying love interest ever
and I'm not exaggerating
How can the smartest person in the story get hit and bullied all the time by this girl that he likes
He was also greedy ,, didn't appreciated a lot of his best friend's kind gestures
I really tried to watch this drama objectively but couldn't
I don't think it's considered Bromance because I didn't see much of that in this

Underrated thriller drama with Bonus strong Bromance/friendship

I'm writing this review and the drama isn't finished yet that's how excited I'm about this underrated gem
This drama is released at the same time with so many good Korean dramas and two of the same genera with more famous younger actors and in public Korean channels not OCN a private channel so you can understand why it's not famous or has higher ratings that's the only reason I could think of

because this drama is just a fresh breath of air among so many disappointing dramas

The actors
are just perfect ,, they aren't Idols or that young and handsome as usual but their acting is top notch especially the two Male leads the two Ajussis oh ,, I can't say enough about those two great actors ,, they are both famous of previous hit dramas Mouse and Squid game ,, their chemistry on screen as best friends is just breath taking
I don't want to exaggerate and say they love each other because they do as brothers in the drama the detective really really cares for the doctor so much that no one else care about him as he did and the bromance is epic in so many episodes and so many great friendship scenes that makes your heart flatter also their friendship with the female lead is just as amazing no love triangle nor much romance but there is slight romantic interest between the detective and the female lead
her English accent by the way is perfect for a korean actress I think she's actually partially American ,,, she was casted perfectly for her role

THE STORY
It's so fresh as a subject not typical crime story has unique take on Arsonists using chemical fires as it's way to commit murders
also the mystery is so complicated with so many variable and hidden secretes that you can't guess who did that then and now for the first half of the drama and the second half you start to guess but no luck until near the finale
the pacing is fast and there is no dull or boring episodes at all

The production is really good also the CGI ,, there is no gore nor obvious violence nor inappropriate scenes at all you can watch this with you family at ease you won't feel uncomfortable ever

The Bromance is a bonus and it gave the drama so much more value to the humanity of it and how humans connect with each other trying to help each other when they are the most vulnerable
it's classy and has great emotions you won't ever regret watching it

I so recommend watching this amazing drama and I decided on re watching it again after it finishes

I almost Vomit ,,, they were trying to adopt Venom marvel American movie but failed horribly

I had high hopes for this one, I thought it was about a psycho killer and the male lead has some foresight after losing his eye to that killer that he can actually watch the crimes and hunt that killer
but apparently, I imagined all that in my head
this drama is a mess ,,, the male lead was abducted and his eyes were harvested but he regained consciousness and managed to reattach one of his eyes to his face again so, IS HE AN ALIAN?
Nope, He's a genetically modified human apparently called connect LOL
Too many sticky parts dismemberment scenes and the sound of flesh cutting and flesh reattachment with all its gore graphic details
one sex scene because psychos have the right to have sex in the middle of this gore
and finally, the male lead got his eye back and didn't kill the psycho because he's a decent deformed human and it was an open ending
Overall watching this drama wasn't pleasant or amusing it was just meh

I watched this drama for the two brothers didn't care about the main couple

When it was on air this drama grabbed my attention because of the relationship between the two aquatic demons couple
and their brotherly relationship, I love brotherly relationships more than romantic boring one
I downloaded all the episodes to watch it later on and enjoyed the story and maybe like the main couple on the way and when it came the time to watch it
I tried to like the main couple at first but it was too boring for my taste,, the same old romantic story in every single Xienxia drama out there nothing new or unique
I've tried to keep watching the main couple but I couldn't so I started skipping a lot,, I skipped a lot and I didn't regret it at all
because the story didn't move much until the two brothers came to it and it became about their relationship and the secondary romantic couples relationship,, then it became interesting and I started to enjoy the drama
I like the secondary romantic couple story so much more than the main and to be honest, the writer stalled the main couple and made them so boring and repetitive to the point of abandoning them to the secondary couple problem and their unique relationship
I loved how the two brothers loved each other despite being at odds most of the time,, and hated how stupid the evil brother was doing everything wrong for the one he loved so much his brother and his lover
He destroyed everything he had with his own blind vengeance
I really loved the kind loving caring brother and King hated how he was so passive in his own love relationship always forgiving always passive
The two different endings were equally bad
There was no happy ending
They killed one side of the story just to let the other one live so what's the point
Maybe I prefer episode forty to episode thirty nine because He Na lived and he suffered so much to die in vien
overall this drama is not very good in my opinion

Best chinese school drama ever , Best school drama since korean drama school 2013

I didn't expect to watch such a masterpiece in Chinese school drama
it's close to real-life High school and students' Lives Everywhere
It doesn't get into the love lives of the students because they are too busy handling their own social problems and their struggles as high school students,, it shows a generation was mostly interested in schools and their families than their raging hormones,, Yet the drama showcases multiple problems the students face when they wanted to have romantic relationships
It handled many social and psychological issues that many students struggle with anywhere
the drama made us fall in love with the perfect teacher, the mentor, the big brother, and the leader
and also showed that he's human too has a past and has problems of his own
I loved how this drama struck every sense of humanity and responsibility in its stories
not one episode of Bordeom, no toxic people other than some bad people and they were diminished
not everything is in its Ideal state or ever good,, it's life with all its turbulence and peaceful times

I really can't stop talking about How good this drama is
if you watched it you won't ever regret it, ever
it's family drama no kissing scenes no adult scenes, no Too violent scenes
it touches on very sensitive subjects such as suicide and bullying
it doesn't go into deep with very troubled teens,, they are all regular teens with mild to somewhat serious social
issues but not too serious
maybe there were more serious issues to be addressed for high school students but they didn't go there

Hilarious , Light and Ridiculously funny fantasy drama that makes it interesting to watch

This drama started the first episode a very funny and hilarious start,, even the fantasy part was like a part of a fantasy game
I loved How handsome and quirky the main lead was,, I found it very funny every episode put a smile and laugh on my face
didn't take seriously at all and who would,, it's not serious in any way, It can be described as a parody of Idol's life
I enjoyed watching every episode,, didn't feel bored and didn't think too much about it, they tried to make it serious sometimes but didn't work because the main theme was fantasy so How could it be
I loved the main lead's character,, the actor made it so easy to love him and have fun watching what he does
I loved the friendship plot with the members of his band and how he bonded with every single one
how they became family and co-depended on each other
I loved the Bromance between him and that overly handsome Grim reaper LOL ,,, he's very adorable
The Romantice part of the drama wasn't that appealing to be honest,, it seemed forced sometimes and I couldn't feel
the chemistry between them but it was okay and they didn't have many romantic scenes,, one kiss in all the dramas' episodes
The happy ending was cheerful and very very happy
Loved the funny twist at the finale , it was satisfying
Overall, this drama is fun to watch
If you want to decompress and watch funny ,light not very serious drama,, this is it for you
you will have good laughs from it and watch few handsome young men as a bonus

Funniest office Kdrama I've ever watched

So at first I thought it was ridiculous and superficial then I saw few clips on instagram and I laughed hard while I was so stressed out so I decided to give it another watch of the first two episodes ,, some scenes were meh but some others were just so funny to burst out laughing just because of the laugh it self ,, I loved how I laughed from it so It grows on me to watch it
you want find any thing deep or meaningful about this drama ,, not the romantic not the office work ,, it's similar to sitcom but it's not and it's decent not inappropriate as most sitcoms
the characters are acting out of normal scope to make you laugh that's it ,, a lot of exaggerations for the laughs itself
if you want to unload long day of exhaustion this is your drama to watch
I'm sad it's finished ,,I want more
I didn't rate it higher because the script was mostly clichés and it didn't purpose meaningful point other than laughing

This drama started from episode seven and ended on a big question mark finale

I was going to drop it out of desperation ,, first six episodes even skipping scenes nothing happening or nothing explained then thank god episode six it tried to move along a bit then episode seven the actual action starts and really it became interesting ,, I binged watched the last four episodes yesterday and all I can say this drama should be four or five episodes long only and it should have better director who can actually put time stamps on screen every time the characters jump through time rather than this oblivion that made us half of the time not following what's going on
Of course it's the worst thing that a lazy writer can do is creating mystery without explanation at the finale what the hell he did in this drama ,,, it's either he doesn't have a clue what he actually wrote or he has some weird imagination that no one else can understand
time skip and time jumps without any time stamps or explanation and weird out of no where characters appearing at the end to say few words without any clue what the hell is going on
there are some fans who actually understood the drama and analyze it but even after I've red their breaking down of the plot
I'm baffled ,, the writer created problems and theories as he goes along ,, he changed the theories as he wants whenever he wants it to change
you can read this analysis your self here https://im.youronly.one/snoworld/%EA%B7%B8%EB%A6%AC%EB%93%9C-grid-explained-2022116/
thank you for the one who wrote it
I now don't understand anything more and I feel more stupid
overall it was meh drama not good but slightly entertaining

Waste of time so called Bromance drama ,, Worst plot ever

I watched it for the Bromance but they cut the actual Bromance scenes and edit the scenes horribly ,, people wore bruises out of no where ,,,
the drama was draggy and laughable sometimes ,, the police force was just waiting for the undercover cop to give them all the information and that cop recruited the other one who became his friend later on ,, at the drama beginning it wasn't that bad and the friendship was kind of okey but after that it got worse and worse
they made the forensic female doctor the love interest of one of them and she kept laying in the hospital for most of the drama with her lover crying by her bedside ,,, he left the undercover case and his friend ,, he even left his grandfather who was sick also and his brother just stayed by her bed side or saving her or driving her to the hospital most of the time
The male lead who is the youngest one was a lone most of the drama trying to beat all the drug cartel which was all premature gang
all the members of the drug dealers were under thirty years old which raises the question when did they start dealing and became big boss of drug cartel at that age ,, pretty faces or eye candies and to hell with the logic for this drama
The police was just like us watching what's going on ,, they didn't help at all
the friendship was tested and failed horribly
also the last two episodes were the most illogical stupid ending ever
something similar to Indian movies where actors get riddled with bullets get blown up and thrown off the building then live without scratch
This drama is just waste of time unless you like watching punch of Idol like actors running around the whole drama for no reason at all

I was lost between which case is the dominant one and it was draggy

First season of this drama was so focused on one case and it was simpler more intense in my opinion ,,it was amazing
this season is just all over the place ,, I didn't know which case was the main case and got really confused at the ending of how all the cases were connected together
also that big company and the female CEO from last season ,,her character was obvious ,, this season she's not
and I didn't know what was her connection to all the cases ,, she has some connection to them but not that clear or logical to be honest
she's the daughter of corrupt politician from last season but now she's what taking revenge on the prosecutors??
Also the whole drama they made a team of opposite sides fighting for legal rights and it didn't go anywhere
everything was ruined so what was the point of all these arguments ,,fillers ???
sorry this drama disappointed me big time
even the male lead and female lead didn't shine like first season they were active but not as intense as it was in the first part
I won't be watching third season of this

Epic time travel drama ,, One month apart a lot happened

This drama is such a treat ,, it's really a thrilling time travel drama ,, the actors did an amazing job ,, the twists were amazing to the final episodes there are twists and turns
of course it has some flaws ,, for example
the mother who kept running from her daughter and being such a pain in her ass was too much
after half of the episodes passed there were a big change the writer neglected the other time for a while and was a bit lazy in writing how they still able to remember what had happened or never happened to them
the writer made for the drama a loop hole so he can get with anything illogical ,, he made the male leads remember the other timelines ,,only them for no reason at all
the only romantic story was between the cheaters ,, that was funny LOL
I actually felt sorry for the male cheater LOL
and at the final episodes ,, things get rushed and confusing a lot My head hurts so I stopped thinking just watched
the ending was nearly perfect ,, we didn't know how the calls just stopped or how the future them are living
over all this drama is soo good and I recommend it to anyone who likes time travelling dramas

Time travel drama that defies logic ,, turn off your brain while watching it

Started watching this drama in 2022 after Bulgasal drama of the main lead lee jin wook
he attracted my attention there with his amazing Charisma so I've began binge watching all his old dramas
this one had unique story also of time travel and good cast except for the female lead here ,, she's so annoying
I skipped a lot of her scenes
as a viewer from 2022 and how the dramas now came so far from the old korean dramas ,, I find the production quality is good for seven years a go but the styling wasn't that good
.... what bothered me most is how they dealt with time travel story ,, the writers as usual ruined every logic in it
How can the male lead go back and change some little thing to come to the present losing everything ,,, and he remembered the two time lines so it's ok because he's the time traveler but how his best friend remembered the two time lines too and only remembered the multiple time lines after the male lead got back from each time travel that was the opposite of logic
his best friend shouldn't remember but one time like that was set
also ,, his younger self saving him by chance ,,, dying and coming back to life by chance ,, that was laughable
his girl friend and his brother also remembered the multiple time lines ,, the words from another time line were still exist on musical album in the present time line ,,,, It was like mixing few multiverse together with the same people ,,, my head hurts
the writer played the story as he liked without any logical explanation at all
all I liked was the Bromance between him and his best friend also his boss at work ... he really loved him
the younger version of him was amazing and made me excited about his reactions to what's going on
the female lead made me hate her and their love story ,,, she put me off big time
his brother was stupid but that was his role ,, and their mother is actually the one who caused her sons to suffer for life
she got her punishment for it but they never blamed her for what she did to them and she was the cause of all that happened to them

over all it's a good drama but not the best with ridiculous time travel story in the mix
