A Good Comedy-Family Movie
Godspeed is a comedy-family road movie that follows Wan Yifan as he meets his girlfriend Zhou Weiyu's parents for the first time during a trip to her hometown for her grandfather's 80th birthday. We tag along on Wan Yifan's chaotic quest to impress Zhou Weiyu's father along the way.As a comedy, this movie nails it with plenty of hilarious moments that had me laugh. Honestly, 'chaos vibes' comedy isn't usually my thing, but surprisingly, I enjoyed every messy mishap they went through on this trip.
That said, as a road movie, for me it doesn't fully deliver. I was hoping for deeper character development across the cast, like you'd expect from the genre but it's not the case here.
Otherwise, the actors, especially the duo of Fan Chengcheng and Qiao Shan did a good job bringing their characters to life.
In the end, Godspeed is a good comedy-family film that not only delivers laughs but also hits you with some genuine emotional moments.

Solid as Legal and College Life Drama
Law School tells the story of a murder in the law faculty of Hankuk University that involves the students and professors there. The series follows one big murder case involving one of the professors across all 16 episodes, but it also includes various smaller cases and court scenes along the way.What I love about this series is the friendship and college life aspects. How they help each other with their problems from the college exam to each other "court" problems. Each character also has their own issues and shows great development throughout the entire series. The law classes appear here and there, they're kinda hard to follow, but it's still fine for me.
The script is solid and tight, and the acting from the entire cast is really good. Even though some scenes feel overdramatic and the editing feels rushed in places, but overall, it's a very enjoyable series for me.

The Real Definition of "I Will Defend My Bias At All Cost"
Idol I follows a lawyer who defends her favorite idol in a murder case, uncovering the dark side of the Idol life and K-pop industry.The drama started off really strong for me. The premise was solid, and the execution in the first two episodes was excellent.
However, after that, everything slowly went downhill. If you’re going to stretch a single case into a full 12-episode series, the story needs to stay engaging throughout. Unfortunately, here, the mystery isn’t strong enough to carry the whole series. It becomes boring at times, especially when it feels like there’s not much story left to tell.
On the other hand, the romance doesn’t get enough time to shine. The development feels too slow, and the chemistry between the leads is lacking.
That said, unlike some other viewers, I actually liked how they handled the childhood connection between Se na and Ra ik. For me, it adds more emotional weight to Se-na’s decision to take Ra ik’s case, rather than simply because she’s a hardcore fan.
Overall, it’s not a perfect drama, but it’s still entertaining and has some standout moments for me, especially Se Na fangirling life from the early and last episodes.
