The Real Scarecrow

I just finished watching this drama. In the beginning, it felt like a normal thriller. There was nothing different about it. But as I kept watching, it gradually built up such a captivating atmosphere that you just couldn't pull yourself away. The story is set in the 80s. It truly felt like we were transported back to the 80s. Even the background Music takes us back to that era.
The murders themselves didn't create as much fear as the actions of the people and characters in this drama; what they were doing felt much worse. Until the very end, I kept feeling that justice would finally be served. I thought some good justice was about to happen, or there would be some heroic moment. But nothing like that happened.
The ending wasn't like what usually happens in normal K-dramas, or how we see in fictional stories where the hero defeats the villain. It wasn't like that at all. It showed us what happens in reality—that you don't always get justice. And that's just how it is.
First of all, Kang Tae joo his character is so beautifully written, so emotional, and filled with so much empathy. I truly felt such a deep connection with that character. In the end, things don't turn out well for him. We usually think that everything will be fine for the protagonist by the end, but nothing like that happens to him. Until the very end, I felt so bad for her because he never got what I had hoped he would. he didn't get a happy ending.
Talking about Sun Yeong who plays the character of his sister. In the beginning, I found her character to be okay, but by the end, I don't know what happened to her character. How can she abandon her brother—who supported her since childhood and took such good care of her—for a complete stranger and their family, whom she only met midway through her life? After that, she doesn't even go to meet him or keep in contact. It was his helplessness, but she is the one who cuts ties. Character-wise, I didn't like her at all. I found her character to be really terrible.
Cha si Yeong, who plays the prosecutor, in the beginning, I felt like he genuinely wanted to be friends with Kang Tae ajoo. That is why he kept coming after him again and again, and their bond even started looking quite cute. He had done a lot of wrong things earlier, so I thought his character arc would develop later, he would apologize, and become a good man. That's what usually happens, but no—he just kept doing worse and worse things. He became more and more evil, and I couldn't even understand what was happening. I kept wondering if he would finally realize his mistakes at the end. But no, he didn't. He never reformed and stayed wicked until the very end.
Gi beom's character was also very cute, very innocent, and highly righteous. I liked him a lot. Ji Won character, the reporter, was also very good. There were many lovely moments shared between everyone. The actor who played the role of the killer did an amazing job with his acting. I really loved it. Overall, Scarecrow is a very good drama. You will even find yourself crying by the very end.
As a thriller, Scarecrow is truly a show where we aren't scared of the serial killer until the very end. It is the real-life people who actually terrify us. Those people are far more horrific. I feel this was the true meaning and core message of this thriller.

THE story of YUMI's CELLS ends on a good note.

I had started watching Yumi's cells right from the beginning, then S2 arrived & now finally, S3 has come out.
Along with YUmi and her cells, we also kept moving forward & growing up; just as she evolved, we also grew in our own lives. YEars passed for us viewers too. S1 & S2 were released close together with a very little gap between them. However, this season (finale) took its sweet time.
The actore were excellent; FL is suchh a great actress. SHE portrayed Yumi's character So beautifully that it genuinely felt like she was growing older year after year. What a great concept of cells.
S1 and 2 were extremely good in their own right- they felt like a roller-coaster ride with highs & lows similar to aperson's life. In contrast, S3 can be called a very joyful ourney; there wasnot too much dramaor unnecesarry crying, just a lot of cute moments with PD Shin. I kept smiling the wholw time & did not even realise when those 8 episodes eneded. All the songs & background music was excellent, but one particular OST that plays in between, "shooting Star" by thama,is incredibily beautiful.
I wanted to see a littlemore of how Shin soon rok was Yumi's endgame. We had seen so much about wung and Yu babi in previous seasons but we did not get to know as much about Soon rok.
All in all, Yumi's cells came to an end. I will miss Yumi and her cells.

Your Mind will be blown!!

This is so interesting thriller. Not clicked next episode faster. Each epiosde will brings so many new twists and turns. In the starting, the bond frormed between the Professor and Lee Kang was starting to form the eventually it took a suprising turn. The professor was a vile human being a...ole to his wife, she was so kind and genuinely in love with him but he never respected and loved her. He was living in delusion and still obsessed with his first love and that writer.
Le Kang was no saint either and when he disclosed why he did what he did it did not seem fitted to me. The revenge was not fit for that reason, it shoul have been something big of a reason to destro someone"s life. Yes, I can agree to the fact that the professor was so selfish that he cold not see other people's pain and was not trying also. he was so so bad to hhis wife.
All in all this was a thriller with correct pacing and good storyline. The acting was brilliant.

Really Lovely!!

Just finished watching 'Lovely Us' and it is lovely, lovely, lovely.
It has 16 episodes and I finished it within 2 days. I got emotional right from the first episode itself. I never thought it would happen like this. Episodes 10 and 11 brought so many tears, even though this drama isn't overly emotional. It gives off 'Reply 1988' vibes; a little bit of those vibes can be felt in it. If someone likes that show, they will definitely love this one too.
There isn't too much forced drama in it. It's about people's daily lives. Every episode starts something new. They have presented the daily events of a household in such a wonderful way. And the romantic scenes are so cute and pretty, nothing is vulgar at all. It is truly very lovely. I finished it just now during the night, and I am really emotional right now that it ended so soon. Loved it!
