I actually wasn't going to watch it at first because the front cover made it seem like it was going to be a romance, but it wasn't. It actually showed me to a new kpop group Astro that I'm now obsessed with. The episodes are short which was kind of a bummer, but in such a short time it actually worked.

For the story I would say it was okay. It was one of those shows that you basically knew what was gonna happen in the end so nothing was surprising yet since the episodes are short you quickly want to go to the next episode.

The music was good and the acting was good.

I would watch it again since it's short and because Astro is in it.

I think this drama really opened up eyes to how the world would be if something like this actually came to real life. If an app like this we’re to come out if would destroy friendships and would cause bullying all because of who liked who. I think the drama showed really well how the world would act, how many feelings would be hurt. I’m sure everyone has probably had this fantasy before, like what if there was an app that let us tell who we like that we like them anonymously, but it shows the reality of how this app isn’t as blissful as it sounds. The heart wants what it wants and sometimes it’s not returned and it was really shown in the drama. Episode 3 especially hurt watching that boy get beat up because he was attracted to another man, and then the boy who beat him also liked men it just really made me sad, but also how people were getting assaulted because of not recognizing peoples feelings through the app, which happens in real life already and brings a reality to how harmful the app is, it shows how yes they’re attracted to you, but doesn’t guarantee happiness or safety. Now based on characters Sun Oh really bothered me, yes he’s attractive, but he was possessive and creepy in my mind, but he also went after the girl that his best friend liked, I thought it was kinda an asshole move, he’s gone for 2 years then comes back and steals the girl. Like yes their relationship was cute, but I thought he was really overdoing it, there were times however when I was like “damn I wished someone was like that towards me,”. I felt very bad for Sun Oh though as Jojo broke his heart basically and lied to him that she no longer loved him. I thought it was very messed up on Jojo’s ends because you can tell he really loved her and it really hurt to see him like that. I’m excited for a season 2 though and see how it plays out, I hope she doesn’t end up playing both of them and tbh I’m on Sun Oh’s side. I hope there’s more character development and for season 2 I hope it starts with where it ended.

The story seemed like a cut and past of basic cliches thst aren’t that good. There’s no background information on characters and the storyline is garbage. For a short drama that’s basically 2 hours long, I thought it would’ve been a little better, but it wasn’t. It’s the worst horror concept I’ve seen. It’s like if the anime School Days had a remake with the plot changed. The acting is also really bad, to the point that it’s laughable. I guess the plot twist was nice and cleared up things, but the storyline was just really bad. The ending wasn’t clear either, I guess they both died together or something because the boy left with this father in the end and didn’t come out with the girl or the other dude so tsk idk. It was just awful in my opinion.

First let me say that I decided to watch this as the episodes are short and there’s only 8 of them. Let’s begin on my thoughts of the first episode. It was basically a cliche that I swear I’ve seen multiple times in a show with a guy wanting to accomplish his dreams and have to let a girl go only to have the day repeat over. With the first episode I already don’t like the main character which I’m sure everyone would be as he’s a complete asshole to everyone. Basically what I’m saying is I already don’t like the show, based on the first episode. At this point I can already see how this shows gonna end based on the first episode. Right now I’m not impressed. Also some of the perspectives on the camera work really bother me and seem unnecessary.
Final thoughts after finishing the drama. The show got better overtime and turned out to be something different than what I expected, but the last episode soiled it for me. It made no sense as it moved onto the next day and she was still alive, but everything was different. Why would that grim reaper literally make them go through all that just to be like ya know what she lives onto the next day, but y’all don’t know each other and have to meet again. It defeated the whole purpose of the show. He went through all that trouble and the ending was like that. I don’t understand why they whole show was like “you can’t save her it’s her fate” for the last episode to be a slap in the face. I recommend to stop watching when they jump from the bunggy cord in the last episode. It’s more satisfying to stop their then finish the last episode.

When I first started watching this drama it was interesting because it was something different, but over time it seemed a little repetitive with its past plot. I think it was because of the same situation with Yu Beom, that it kinda got boring and made me roll my eyes as it was the same thing each time, because of this repetitiveness sometimes you could tell what was gonna happen, but what would you expect from a drama that had to do with the law. However other than that I think the story line was great. I would’ve liked more of a background on Woo Tak because I really liked his character and I would’ve liked to see more development, but I also would’ve liked more scenes with Jae Chan and Investigator Choi. Also more scenes with Myung Dae-gu would’ve been nice since the last case was about his father.
The ending for me seemed unfinished, just the way it ended didn’t seem like it was the last episode, Woo Tak is gonna be an attorney, we see their wedding picture hanging on the wall, and then Jae Chan says his memory he doesn’t regret doing and it ends. For me personally it just seemed very unfinished and didn’t give me much closer. Besides all those there were points that had me shook and parts I really liked. Would I rewatch it? Probably not, but it’s definitely worth to be watched at least once.

This movie reminds me to why I love Korean movies and dramas so much. The elements that are put into productions have an outcome of something beautiful. The movie all the way through was splendid, there were very few words in this film actually spoke between the two characters and it didn’t matter because of how well the body language communicated. The ending made my cry, it wasn’t a bad or good ending in my opinion, it was neutral. I wish there would’ve been more, but there was only so much she could do. The ending had me so shook that I couldn’t believe he actually waited for her all those years. It didn’t have cliches and things happened that you wouldn’t expect. It was just a great film.

For starters this movie was really weird, but it's a good weird. Though I was angry at Wine the entire time (watch it a you will know why) and his smile bothers me for some reason. It's just really creepy to me.

The whole time I constantly wanted to smack Wine for *spoiler* playing 3 guys and *another spoiler* tying Tee and Boy up for blood.

And know for the ending. The ending is confusing and I have a few things on what the ending actually was. Either Wine actually died in jail because Tee was a snitch and told (I don't blame him) the police and friends what actually happened to him. At the end when Night said "You've been holding that for a long time" (something like that) and Wine said "I hope it would bring you back to me." (Close enough to what he said) so knowing he said that I think Night never actually came back yet because Wine was holding the guitar hoping it would bring Night back to him, but I don't actually know the ending is confusing like I said.

Overall it's a good movie is you actually think about the situation Wine was in. Wine didn't want Night to die, but he did take it too far to get blood.

I put of this show for a long time and I finally watched it. I have to say the show was quite good, other than the fact that the story kept going back to show what happened to get to a certain point. I'd recommend to watch it though it hope Netflix will make a season 2 of this show. I highly doubt they will, but man the ending being just that, it gave us hope, but I feel so unsatisfied, maybe it's just because he was all blacked out being shown helping characters, but I need more man, it felt left unfinished and I dearly hope for an continuation. This show has so much potential and I know they could some hoe continue it. I mean it is a happy ending in the way of knowing he is alive, but I just want more.

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo was a shown that I generally liked. It was a drama that didn’t actually have an intense amount of stuff going on within the story. I thought the show was quite relaxing to watch and often made me laugh. Not to mention that it had some familiar actors included into the show was side character or support characters. Also the cameo with Jong Suk and references to W was pretty funny. Compared to other shows I’ve watched this drama was pretty chill and the way the romance was interrupted was also put out in a gentle innocent way. I thought the way they lead up to Bok Joo and Joon Hyeongs relationship was quite innocent and cute in my opinion. This drama actually let us get to know the characters and the main characters also learned more about each other and had experiences together which made the connection very good. This was the first drama I think I’ve watched where the support characters and side characters were actually relevant in the drama then being casted out and being irrelevant. Which in my opinion made the show great as the drama had no official main point to me. It contained multiple components in it with also went to support characters and was more real in my opinion. I’m sad that this drama had to come to an end, but it ended perfectly. All I can say is swag.

For a drama that’s so short, it wasn’t rushed at all. It had a perfect pace that went well with the story. I don’t know the true story it’s based on, but the drama was beautiful. I think the actors played their characters well. It felt more realistic and sincere than other dramas I’ve watched, the facial expressions weren’t dramatic like some dramas. The actors did a very good job. The literature in the drama was also beautiful and heart wrenching. Even though it had a tragic ending, the ending was almost beautiful that you didn’t feel sadness for them. This drama was beautiful and I definitely recommend it. It was refreshing to see something that had emotion and realistic that wasn’t a cliche romance.

I really was looking forward to this drama, but I got bored of it. The story line was just not cutting it for me, but personally the acting wasn’t good for me either. I know Yoona is well beloved, but her acting made me not want to watch the show anymore and the plot got boring. I just didn’t enjoy it. In the beginning it was really interesting, but as I kept watching it just wasn’t living up to what I was expecting. I only watched the drama because of Ji Chang Wook, and I’m sad that I did not like this drama. I could just not sit through anymore episodes to finish it.

I decided to watch W as it still is highly rated on Viki, but also because of Lee Jong Suk. I’m writing this as I watch, but currently the first 6 episodes were the best. I’m currently on episode 9 and it’s just gotten to a weird point. Yeon Joo literally just decides to not go back to her own world to be with Kang Chul. I was expecting more from her character since she’s supposed to be a doctor. Her character in my opinion is just not as grand as I expected. As the reactions she does is just over the top too the point it gets kinda annoying as it’s something a character would do in a book, not someone who’s supposed to live in the real world. I also wish the romance between Yeon Joo and Chul didn’t happen so fast. It kinda made the show seem that it was at it’s peak at only 8 episodes. I don’t know what to expect with the last set of episodes as the storyline seems a bit messy now. However so far I like the acting for Kang Chul as it’s more realistic to a book character as he was set up that way. I think the acting for everyone except Yeon Joo fit their character perfectly.

Final thoughts after finishing:
After finishing it the drama actually made up for all the numerous flashback, repeats, and cliches. I was actually satisfied with the ending. It was a little sad, but it was for a good cause. I only wished the context of the rules between worlds was more clear. It seemed as some advantages characters had just weren’t as clear to me as I would’ve hoped. I still think the female lead lacked in performance. I think expressions were over exaggerated, but also her constant starring without saying anything bothered me. I honestly didn’t know how it would end. It ended well. I’m also satisfied how the romance was knotched down and made the drama more likeable for me. In the beginning it was just to cringe for so early in the show. Other than that I’m satisfied with the drama. However there were some parts I think were stretched out too long, I get that 16 episodes is usually the lowest for dramas, but this drama could’ve ended in about 12 episodes if things weren’t stretched out.
