It's about more than just anime style fighting

I love that this is in the same universe as Study Group! This show was incredible! I loved how crazy the fighting was and how sentimental some of the episodes were. I loved how much it touched on as well, from the students to parents to teachers. I think my favorite episodes were one, two, and five. I love the characters the most from two! I love how they were the only ones who didn't end up in jail or anything either! I liked when we got to see them later on and they talked about how the school was doing after the fact as well! I really enjoyed this show a lot and hope it gets picked up for another season!!

Characters:
Na Hwa Jin: Absolutely loved him! He was such a good main character! An absolute baddie!! Everything that happened with his fiancée was so tragic. I just loved him. I loved his relationship with the other main three characters too, especially with his father-in-law.

Choi Gan Seok: I love that he wanted to start this because of what happened to his daughter. He has gone through so much, not only with his daughter, but with so many people against this as well. I really liked him a lot. His relationship with Na Hwa Jin was so adorable.

Bong Geun Dae: He is so cute! I liked him a lot! He was so smart and I loved seeing what all he could he do with his computers. Him always trying to leave work was so funny too. His relationship was Han Rim was so sweet, and I hope it develops further if there's another season.

Im Han Rim: I loved her!! I love how crazy she was! She was insane and really embraced it and I loved that. She's really caring too. I loved her relationship with Na Hwa Jin a lot and seeing how close they were. I loved seeing her start to like Geun Dae too!

Beautifully raw and real

This show was beautifully done. I wouldn't consider it a BL, maybe more of a queer story. I loved this so much. I watched it one sitting. I loved getting to go through so many years of life with our cast. It felt like watching someone's life more than watching a show and I loved that.

Ryu was my favorite character. He was so caring and so adorable and just the biggest green flag. Jo Han was an incredible character too. He went through so many hard time but I loved that he kept getting back up and trying to make the best out of his life. Sumiko was also so enjoyable to watch. She is so strong and I loved her determination too. All the characters in this show had such a complexity about them that made them feel so real. They all went through good times as well as a lot of hardships that life throws at you.
The boys wanting to help Sumiko raise the baby and seeing the three of them raise her together was so beautiful to see. I loved that it showed different sides of it including the judgement that would naturally come from other people. Even after Jo Han left, Ryu agreeing to marry Sumiko to make it easier on the child was so incredible to see too.
I have a feeling some people won't care for the ending since the boys never confessed to each, nor came out and said they were gay, but I loved it. Somehow that made the story seem that much more real. You as the audience knew they were gay and knew they had feelings for each other from little moments here and there throughout the show without it ever being said outright and I loved that. We hear their monologues and the end and hear the I love you's but I personally think the I love you's were just in their heads. I think they spent Jo Han's finals moments together and then Ryu goes back home without them ever saying anything to each other, but I don't think they needed to. I think they knew deep down how they felt and that was enough for them and even though some may say it's tragic they never heard it from the other, I think it is still beautiful.

THIS IS SLEPT ON

This show is SLEPT ON! I've never seen anyone talk about it and didn't see it get promoted at all and it is so good! I loved the mystery of this show so much. I really want it to have a season two, but I doubt it will because of how little popularity it has.

I loved Yun Ina and Han Saem so much as characters. Ina was such an interesting character to watch. I loved how you questioned if she was the killer or not multiple times throughout the series. Han Saem was fun to watch as a detective as well! I loved their banter together too.

The mystery of the murderer(s) and what the puzzle pieces meant was so cool. I loved trying to figure what was happening. I did solve who the killer was pretty early on but that's pretty typical of me, so I don't think it's necessarily super easy to guess.

I don't have any complaints about the show at all and truly loved it from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Please give us a third season, we beg

I loved this season as well! Once again, the relationships Sieun builds in this season are just so fun to watch! I love all the new friends he makes! I even really liked some of the new bad guys this season! I love that every character is more than a 'bad guy' or 'good guy'. No one is perfect and every character is so fleshed out. I love all the action scenes this season as well, especially the one on the roof. This show never fails to amaze me in how it can make you feel every emotion. The actors all did incredible of course!

I did enjoy season one more than this one, but I'd still give this one a 10/10

So much fun!

Loved how fun this show was! There were some deeper and more emotional moments as well but overall was such a fun series! The characters in Spirit Fingers as well as both sets of best friends were a lot of fun to watch. They all had great chemistry together as well!

I loved the relationships between the two main couples. There were definitely moments where I got annoyed at the girls, but only in a couple moments so it didn't bother me too bad.

Overall, a super fun watch and would recommend! Loved seeing Cha Woomin in this as well!

Also, I have to mention all the costumes and especially the sets! That was so fun to see each episode!

This show is basically p*rn

I hated the main two characters so much. It felt like they were trying to be Boss and Noeul. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but that's the vibe it gave. And it did not work...at all. They were just very unlikable together and apart. I wish we got more time with the B couple because I thought they were more interesting. Though I feel like Yoon needs to work on his acting a little bit because I didn't always feel very much emotion from him. That being said, I enjoyed watching him more than Boat and Oat. The spice in this show was insane. Just straight up p*rn sometimes. I'm here for the spice so I don't mind.

Could've benefited from being longer

I really enjoyed this show a lot! The main two characters had great chemistry together as well as were just interesting individuals as well. The plot was great too and I enjoyed it through the end. I've never seen these actors before, and I think they did a great job. Song Ha Neul being the bad guy wasn't shocking to me at all, I predicted that pretty early on, but me predicting that didn't ruin the show for me by any means. I wish the show had more episodes honestly because I would've loved to see the characters background and even their relationship more fleshed out. The finale did feel a bit rushed to me honestly and that is my one complaint. I just wish it was longer! I think it could've really benefited from having at least one more episode.

They should've been their own movies

Before anything else, I just want to say I watched this with no subtitles. So, I really had to go off of context clues and the little bit of Thai I know. I just really wanted to watch it since Nani was in it. Anyway, since this is broken up into three stories, I'll also breakup my thoughts for each story.

Story one:
This one was my favorite out of the three. I thought the story was the most interesting. It was a pretty standard story of homophobia but also added that the gay character was also disabled and overweight. I do think the two were cute friends, but they really didn't respect each other at all. Gent was embarrassed to be friends with Gent and wanted to keep it a secret and Nana posted about him anyway. I'm not condoning how Gent treated him at all, I just wanted to point out that Nana wasn't perfect either. I think this story could've been better if it also showed Gent's perspective and not just Nana's so we could see how both of them were truly thinking. It was a good concept, but it could've used some tweaking a bit.

Story two:
This one was really boring to me and pretty forgettable. I think it was because it needed to be longer and more fleshed out but instead was the shortest out of the three. I loved the concept of this one a lot, but it was so rushed. It would've been nice to see more of it all. I like that he returned home accepting and even with a boyfriend at the end, but because it was so short it just felt like we didn't really get to see him struggle with it all and then come to terms with it.

Story three:
This one I think was the longest out of the three. Tae was such an unlikeable character. I feel bad that he has to prostitute himself out, but he was such a jerk. He was awful to everyone. I didn't like Nont either since he was sleeping with high schoolers, but somehow, he was still more likeable than Tae. This story was entertaining, but you really will hate everyone in it.

Overall, I did enjoy this movie especially for not knowing what exactly is being said half the time. I think even without subtitles though, it was pretty easy to understand and follow along to. I think all three stories could've just been better as a movie of their own instead of all crammed into one.

Park Jihoon does it again

I finally had the chance to watch this and I absolutely loved it! The acting from everyone was incredible, especially Park Jihoon! Jihoon's acting will never fail to amaze me. I liked the story a lot as well. It was a great story with such a tragic ending and the fact it's based off a real event makes it even more devastating. I loved seeing King Dan Jong bond with the village folk. You can tell he was a very loved ruler by how many people were willing to die for him and to fight by his side. He was very kind as well. I loved his friendship with Mae Hwa a lot. His letter to her in the end made me cry. The ending in general made me cry quite a bit, which I wasn't expecting at all. My only complaint was I wish they explained some characters titles a bit better (Some of the people of the palace for example), other than that I had no complaints. The costuming and sets were beautiful as well. This movie was really fantastic, and I can see why it was doing so well in numbers in Korea!

Plotlines with unsatisfying endings

I'm not going to lie the writing in this show was pretty bad. The plot wasn't very thought out either. It just felt like the show was trying to have too many plotlines going that didn't really entirely matter or had a good start and then was wrapped up quickly and not satisfying at all (an example is we kept hearing about how Phali wasn't over his girlfriend and then once the two of them got back together we never saw them together again except maybe once or twice and they didn't feel like a couple at all). The thing that bothered me the most though was that the show is called Wednesday Club, but we barely ever saw all seven members together at the same time. We saw the first meeting and maybe a few other times, but for the most part we just saw the same pairs of people interacting over and over. I just really wish we got to see them all develop some kind of relationship with each other, but we really didn't. I think this show had great potential but just needed some major tweaking in the writing room.

Characters:
Kong: He was really nice and clearly cared about his friends a lot. It was cute seeing him fall for Tam and I liked that they ended up together. Him and May had chemistry together too, but I definitely think Tam was more suited for him. I felt bad for him for how he's always been treated by his family, even if it was with a reason, it doesn't make it any better. After the first episode or two we didn't really see his and Phali's friendship much either which I thought was weird since they started this whole thing.

Phali: He really shouldn't have tried to get with Tam when he wasn't over his past girlfriend. I thought he was a pretty funny character but after him and Tam split, I feel like we didn't see him much at all, and especially not with his girlfriend (like I mentioned previously). I did feel bad for him when we heard about what happened with the two of them in the past. I liked seeing that he does and enjoyed doing the volunteer work and seeing him trying to make it right with different people he's wronged. Again, I wish we got to see of more of his friendship with Kong. Shoutout Nani, he was the whole reason I watched this show in the first place.

Kun: He sucked. I didn't like his character at all. I did feel bad for him in different moments for sure, but overall, he was just an asshole and was quite rude. I get he was trying to make money for his family, but he was awful to people (especially Mac) for literally no reason.

Pheem: He was such a sweetie. Not only for everything he was trying to do for Mink, but how he took care of May as well. His crush on May was really sweet too. I loved seeing the scenes with his family as well. He was just the nicest of all the characters for sure.

Mac: This poor dude. Every time he was on screen I just felt bad for him. Someone was always being mean to him, or he was going through something. I loved his friendship with Kong a lot. I didn't really have strong opinions on him other than I just felt bad for him.

Tam: She was the other character I thought was really sweet. Even when she was being mean to her family, I didn't blame her at all and thought they deserved worse for all they put her through. Her crush on Phali was cute but I definitely liked her better with Kong. Her friendship with May was really sweet too and I liked seeing what they brought out in each other.

May: I liked May and thought she was one of the most interesting characters. She was one of the more complex I feel out of everyone. I knew her crush on Kong wouldn't go anywhere because man never seemed interested at all. I loved her friendship with Tam as well as her relationship with Pheem. She always just brought something interesting to the show which I liked.

The best MuTeLuv!

This is definitely my favorite out of the MuTeLuv series. I loved the storyline of the cult two cults a lot. I liked Ploy as a character a lot! I kind of love that we got to see her start the second cult with Phu as well. I feel like stories like these never have the mc join the bad guy, so I loved that she did and we got to see that. I figured she'd leave the cult eventually, but I liked that we got to see her in it and fight for it for a bit. Phu was a pretty interesting character to me. I liked seeing how his character changed throughout the episodes. I loved getting to see Prem play a cult leader I can't lie, it was so fun! I loved Wutkrai as well. I liked the twist that he wasn't part of the cult and was actually undercover. I wish they explained a bit more about his powers because I think they were cool. I loved his character a lot and knew he'd fall for Ploy. Father was so goofy as well which made it really fun to watch him. This series was just really fun, and I thought the writing was pretty decent as well for how short the series is. My favorite of these miniseries so far!!

Shin and Saint are in love

I watched this because I'm currently going through all of Nani's works, but I'm so glad I watched it. I really liked this a lot. I love the cast so much! So many of my favorites and familiar faces in this which I loved. Sky and Nani have incredible chemistry and it's crazy that this was their first project together. Amazing! I thought the whole cast was great together. I loved the plot and concept of the show a lot as well. I loved seeing how Jan and Sung would solve problems between the kids and seeing how much they cared for and fought for them, especially when all the other teachers already gave up on them. I really enjoyed watching everyone's growth over the series as well. None of it felt rushed and all felt very natural. Also have to say that I loved that the boys in class never messed with the girls and stood up for them a lot. I feel like that showed that they were good people deep down. Small detail but I really liked that. This was a lot of fun to watch!

Characters:
Saint: I loved seeing how much he cared for his friends, especially Shin, and how hard working he was. I loved that he didn't fight just to fight like some of the others and really only did when it was for his friends. He's definitely in love with Shin.

Shin: He was my favorite character. He was so caring towards so many people, especially his friends, but didn't put up with bullshit either. He is way more forgiving than I ever could be so props to him because personally I wouldn't have ever been able to forgive Saint. I love his relationship with Saint though and was happy he didn't immediately be friends with him again because of what he did to him. He's definitely in love with Saint. I really liked his relationship with Chatjen as well! I loved how close they were. I know he was pretty good friends with First and Thiu as well, but I feel like we didn't see much of a bond between them other than them just following Shin around. Loved his relationship with his sister too! So cute!

They should've just had these two get together. It was so gay between them, and they were flirting all the time. Stop queer baiting and let them be together.

Jan: I loved her! Like I said before I loved what her and Sung did for the kids. She was a bit dramatic at times about just wanting to resign or say she was an awful teacher every time it didn't go her way but other than that I did like her a lot.

Sung: I thought he was just okay at first, but he grew on me throughout the series and like I said before I liked what he did for the kids. I liked learning that he used to be a troublemaker too and how he's changed since the accident in high school.

Chatjen: I loved him! He was so smart and so caring! I liked seeing him always try to help the others get along. He really helped with Shin and Saints relationship a lot too. I was sad when he said he was going abroad, but I loved the conversations him and Saint and Shin had prior to him leaving to help him feel better about leaving. I just loved him a lot and he was one of my favorites.

Ken: I hated this man. By the end he did grow quite a bit and he was more tolerable. I just didn't like him at all throughout 90% or more of the show. I will say I liked his relationship with the twins a lot. Their friendship was really sweet. I felt bad about his home life too.

Knot and Nate: I didn't care for the twins throughout the most the show either. I liked how good of a relationship they had with each other as well as with Ken. That was really nice to see. I was happy when they were getting more screentime in the final episodes just because I love AJ and JJ.

Cable: I love Mark so much, so I was happy to see him in this. I was waiting for him to stand up against his mother because he just looked so sad all the time. I do feel like even when it was his moment in the show (him running away), that it was still kind of an afterthought or something. A lot of the characters got a storyline where they were pretty much the main focus but even during his storyline, Ken's was more of a focus. So, I wish we got a little bit more with him because I think it could've been done a bit better. I liked him just felt bad for him more than anything.

Peeta: I hated her from beginning to end. She just felt entitled, didn't listen to what anyone was saying, and just selfish. We saw that a lot during her fight with Eve, but it was there even before that. Even by the time the show was done I just didn't like her at all. She didn't have much growth really at all either. I'm pretty sure I even liked Ken better by the end than her.

Eve: I kind of went back and forth for a bit if I liked her or not. At first, she didn't really listen to anyone either. Once the thing with the painted locker happened and she started getting closer to Airy, I liked her a lot better and could see how she was changing. I liked her friendship with Peeta and loved her relationship with Airy a lot. I definitely think they like each other.

Airy: She was kind of just forgettable to me for the first chunk of the show until she started getting closer to Eve. I really liked her a lot after that. I think they brought out a fun part of each other. She definitely likes Eve a lot.

First and Thiu: They seemed a bit more important in the first few episodes and then after that I feel we barely saw them. I thought we'd get to see more of theirs and Shin's relationship, but we didn't. I wish we got to though to see why they're apparently good friends.

Chingching: SO CUTE! Loved her!! She really helped with Shin and Saints relationship a lot too!
