The writing of this drama is sooooo bad. Having seen Dylan Wang in more skillful character roles in dramas such as Meteor Garden, Love Between Fairy & Devil, + The Rationale Life confirms it for me. I found myself enjoying the music more than the drama.

Enjoyed it a lot. Plenty of interesting characters & thought provoking. Just wish more time was devoted to story & characters. At times, it felt like a bunch of flashes of information that I had to interpret & make into a cohesive storyline.
The conditions for a split personality are definitely there - as a child he shoots his step-dad after repeated abuse & witnessing his mom getting abused. Allen probably existed to help young Bo Jin Yan cope with that baggage. That stare at the end had Allen's name written all over it. The bigger question for me is how bad is Allen?
Wow...this was like exercise for the brain & in the end I appreciated/enjoyed the drama for what it offered & what it lacked. Woo Do Hwan's acting brought me sheer happiness.
Mass opinions (especially worldwide) that form a general consensus are closer to reality than a group of elected judges. In my opinion Lee Je Hoon / Taxi Driver was totally shafted. Luckily platforms like MDL, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, etc can filter out some of that suspected "hand greasing" BS.
In a good vs bad I think this drama had more good than bad. I did have road rage feelings every time the club owner had a scene. He needed to be beaten to a pulp for his selfishness/greed & the Rex actor had a blank stare a lot that conveyed nothing. However, the love square was interesting to me & had me unsure of who would end up w/whom in the end.
Liked & disliked Seasons 1 & 2 equally. Each offers something different. Romance for season 3? Even though Go Eun is a character I like a lot, I don't feel like she is the right girl for Kim Do Gi. They should stay in the friendzone. If going military/political season 3 maybe a cameo from taxi driver in "A Taxi Driver" movie or creating a character related to one of them.
With all the heavy themed dramas (revenge, zombies, lawyers, doctors & cops shows) being mass produced, this feels like a breath of fresh air. Enjoyed Sung Joon's portrayal of a broken ML character.
Wow. I put this one off for a long time because BL is not my thing. What a mistake. It's thought provoking , the acting is amazing & that kiss scene..... A prime example of never judge a movie/drama by it's cover or.... tags.
^The commander totally knew his wife would need to have an affair to have a kid & save his pride as a man that's why he left for an assignment for a month. ^The commander handpicked ML ^FL expecting a pregnancy outcome from affair
Loved the surprise of ML's acting skills & choice of this movie.
Glad only 12 episodes. Movies can tell a great story in 1-3 hours, so 16 episodes isn't going to fix a drama/story that isn't well executed. I really enjoyed the humor, lead actors & story potential, but a mishmash of storylines, lackluster romance, & some not so good acting of many support characters I had to give it a 7.
"Shut Up Flower Boy Band" caused me shock & ugly crying. It's interesting no matter how much time passes the drama deaths that stay with ya. Loved your list.
