What if Humans are Virus and Monsters are the treatment? Damn, it made a huge impression on me ?

Season 2 took a different approach than Season 1, and while some folks might not think it did justice, I see it as a season where we saw how people live in constant fear, with the real monsters being human. It's like a build-up for Season 3.

Despite Song Kang's absence in several episodes, I didn't mind it, as it allowed a connection buildup with other characters.The director gave us what we were waiting for from S1 ( I shouted around 5 am when i saw that scene).

Eunyoo's character glow up will standout to everyone I can bet on that, that girl became such a bada**, and I'm all for it.

Season 2 left me craving for those unforgettable OST moments that Season 1 nailed. Like that heart-wrenching scene when the character who believed in God died in the elevator—the OST there made me feel every character's emotion. So yeah, Season 2 missed the OST magic. If those tunes were there, it would've been a solid 10/10 without a doubt! ✨

Season 3 is coming in summer 2024, but the wait is tough, like 8-9 months.

Overall, Season 2 left lingering questions, creating anticipation for answers in the upcoming season. Recommend to watch it with an open mind for a fulfilling viewing experience.

Psst, just a heads-up, you'll be admiring a lot of characters' physical assets, and hey, no complaints here! It's all in good fun.

Must-see because it teaches subtle life lessons.

Spoilers contain ahead.
Critical X" tells the tale of ML who is experiencing the greatest deterioration of his life due to retirement and rising housing costs.
This series gives a little realistic check on life.
Real situations faced by everyone in their lives are shown in a little funny yet serious way. The relation between ML and his wife and ML and his family doctor are so wholesome.
Ep1 brought me back to the time when I was hearing about a lot of layoffs. ML is a vice president of a company who is given the news that he is gonna be laid off, so the earlier he accepts it, the bigger the compensation will be. This ep will show the 5 stages of grief, denial, anger, negotiation, depression, and acceptance.
In this ep, we also get to know that the couple is having a hard time conceiving. We also get to know that ML suffers from insomnia, and when he has a get-together with his friends, he gets quite intimate by hearing how they own their own house, how they invest in stocks, and so on. So he starts to learn about stocks and starts investing, and as I guessed, he starts losing money in it. It had such a good reality point that when some employees are laid off, some of them might think that rather than working to get hired, they may find a simple way to earn since they are desperate for money, and in the end, all the savings they have also ends up going to waste( not saying that stock investments are bad, but if invested without having any proper knowledge about the market, investment can pretty much be a bad idea). Then, there is a scene where they won the reverse bits for a house, due to payment stress and all, ML develops alopecia (felt bad for ML when his friends we're making fun of him bcoz of his alopecia). Then in the next ep we learn that FL is pregnant and ML gets a job offer from a startup. But due to pressure from the company since it's a start-up and run by youth, ML under pressure starts to spit blood, and even though there are challenges he faces in his job, he is able to overcome all of them and help the startup follow its success path. At the end, the last ep focuses on his health and company, and eventually we can conclude that life is full of challenges, but at the same time, life also gives you support to overcome the challenges, like ML had FL, who supported him even in his hard times.
This series is a must-see because it teaches subtle life lessons. This series is a one-time deal, according to me.

Carry your tissues everytime you watch this movie

The action and emotional depth of "Decibel" are both excellent for an action thriller. This film is a must-see for aficionados of the genre because of its skillfully developed characters, complex plot, and exciting action scenes.
The action-packed opening scene of the movie establishes the mood for the rest of the picture. The movie's strengths are its frantic, heart-pounding action sequences, which also feature excellent stunt work and special effects. The film also demonstrated how PTSD affects soldiers.
I saw the movie a few times, and although knowing what would happen, each time brought tears to my eyes. LJS's acting was outstanding. Every time they had a scene, his eyes would also show how much he loved his brother. I was devastated by the melancholy and breakdown he had in the submarine. Eunwoo's acting was exceptional despite the fact that he got fewer scenes.Raewon, the chief, made a difficult but necessary decision that, in my opinion, transformed his life, and this is basically how the tale was focused on him. How LJS lost his brother as a result of the choice of leaving some of his teammates due to a shortage of air LJS then targeted Raewon and his family as retaliation.The bombing scenes caused my heart to tighten.I thought the film was fantastic overall, and I left the theatre with bowled-over eyes.

Warning- Spoilers are included

First of all, DAS had a wonderful storyline for S01, but sadly, I would say S02 was not good. I would recommend watching until Ep9. That would leave you a lot more satisfied than watching Ep10. Warning: further review contains spoilers. So Ep10 was dragged into the topic of Kook Young-Soo and how he literally killed his platoon members (4 members survived). The whole storyline of S02 hardly revolved around the spheres; it mostly revolved around the 2nd platoon. There were hardly any spheres in the 4 episodes of S02. The ending didn't do justice to the show. I would have been happy if I stopped at S01, but my curiosity about whether Mr. Lee is alive or not made me watch S02 (I watched all 4 episodes till 4:30 am). I don't know what I was expecting from S02, but whatever was released was not how I expected it to be. Where did Wonbin go? S01 ended with students being with Wonbin when the dynamite exploded, so definitely I would have expected Wonbin to be in S02. At least they should have shown what happened and why Wonbin was not with the platoon members. S02 had
so many inconsistency storyline ?. The S02 storyline was not something I waited for to watch, but the acting from the cast was top notch, especially from No Ae-Seol. Damn, I wanted to slap her here so badly for her naive behaviour, which means Lee Yeon nailed her character. I hope to watch more series or movies with his cast and a good storyline, obviously.

A well blended show.

This captivating K-drama skillfully combines comedy, romance, and action into a gripping story. It provides a well-rounded viewing experience with its excellent cast, suspenseful scenes, impressive cinematography, visually appealing scenes, and emotional depth.The tale might feel a little predictable at times, but the strong acting and clever banter make up for any little flaws.There weren't many heart-pounding incidents.

So, all in all, an excellent show with a little adrenaline gushing in you.

Not a great deal but not a bad deal as well

A good action movie with a little mixture of thrills The killing scenes and the blood splattering scenes were we-portrayed. The cinematography was great. I liked the way the movie was shown from many characters perspectives. Bok Soon's character was very well cast. This movie shows how Bok Soon is trying to balance her professional assassin life with her personal motherhood life. I adored the mother-daughter relationship; it was not sugar-coated, but rather more convincing as in real life. Bok Soon's hesitancy to reveal her jobs true nature and her daughter's struggle to come out as lesbian were well portrait but that's it, the only positive things about the movie. Other characters I don't know what they were even trying to show but the characters lacked DEPTH. 
The thing I first remembered while watching this series was John Wick's world. I won't say they copied John Wick, but I could definitely say they got their inspiration for making this movie from Wick. It was like I was watching 2 John Wick movies crumpled up into 1.
But the action and cinematography saved the movie for me.
I loved that Boo Soon's daughter was able to accept herself the way she is.

Hype for what ???

Honestly, I have dropped this series, not that it's bad, but it's just so slow phased. The storyline is somewhat normal for me. There was nothing much to expect from this series, but the scenes, and the way the series was shot, the casting, and all were good. But at the end, I had to drag myself to watch this series even till ep 6 and then eventually I had to give up. Normally romance genre are hard for me to watch bcoz the story line is normally repeated with a twist here and there. With the given hype thought of watching it and then I got disappointed. It's just not my cup of tea. But if you are someone who loves romantic genre you may like it.

Just couldn't stand the acting

Horrible, No hate to the cast, but the cast definitely needs to take acting classes. It was just way too much. Overacting in a few scenes could be neglected sometimes, but the series started with overacting itself. DOTS original version had my love all the time, and then too, I told myself, I'm not goona compare these 2 series, but I just couldn't help but imagine how much worse the series could get, and the way I thought it got even worse than that. The storyline is definitely a masterpiece, no doubt about that. But the execution was what the cast, including the directors, lacked.Just don't waste your time watching this series; rather, rewatch the original one and be happy.
I hope to see the cast in their next project with their improved foam.
PS: I didn't talk about the story because we all know the flow of the story, so rather I talked about the cast. If you are new and wanna know the storyline, feel free to jump on the K version of DOTS. You will love it.
