Watched this because of dilireba and Vin Zhang. A little lazy watch the Korean version, because i think the lead actress a little bit too ugly (sorry for her fans, I just watch the clip here & there, but still not interested with the lead actress ^_^)Like several reviewer here I also have 'Second Lead Syndrome'. More hopping Hui Zhen (HZ) can be together be with Yi Mu (YM) than with Hao Yu (HY). For me YM feel toward HZ more genuine than HY. It's like what HY and HZ feel is only hang on string called 'the feeling of the first love.' Yeah we all know first love hard to forget, but still....
Specially HZ herself really really hanging to the first love feeling until not letting anybody come in. For HY is a little bit better. He grow his feeling with HZ without realizing who is HZ and really happy in the end when he find out who HZ is.
Feel pity for Xia Qiao (XQ) yet a little bit hate her too. How can she be so selfish. But if you really put your feet in her shoe, yeah i can understand why she choose that way.
Really happy in the end HZ never change herself. She just back be herself ^_^
Overall: Quite happy to watch. Dilireba role here quite different with her other drama.

I watch this drama because related to love 020. But after watch it yeah not really, only because the name feng teng (FT) related. But still in the end a good drama to watch. ;)Is this a typical Cinderella story that poor employee fall in love with the boss and get the lucky because her boss also fall in love with her? Well... Not really... :)
I really like the story because it show the struggle of ordinary girl who fall in love and became couple with the big boss of a very big company. We can see Shan shan (SS) struggle when she think she too ordinary for FT & how in the end SS fix her issue. I also love that FT in the end really understand SS struggle and try to support her in his way.
We also can see SS having a really good parent who think how hard the future SS will be since she just ordinary girl from ordinary family. When we dream getting a prince for ourselves we often forget how hard it will be for us going into that level.
I really love when FT in a way happily say 'the debt make them equal...' Yeah uniquely in this drama the debt make SS became equal level with FT not make SS became lower level. :D
What makes this drama a little bit just dreamy is... FT not having any parent or elder who will against them together. Because you know SS just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family...
Overall: love the story. After watch several of Zanilia Zhao other drama, never i've watched her so pure & loveable as SS here. So yeah really worthed watched this. But finally getting a little bit bored after re-watch it for several times... :P

Thank GOD i watch the drama version first if not i will completely confuse with the story and everything in the movie. Yeah of course 60 ep drama compress to just 2 hour movie make sense for the story flaws... But still at least make it a little bit understandable or something....
Too much fantasy in my opinion when they describe the heaven and the place where bai qian (BQ) live.
Story: just skip this movie and watch the drama instead
Acting/cast: nothing too special, but yeah liu yi fei as BQ is more beautiful than yang mi in drama version. But for YH, I think mark chao still more suitable than yang yang
Song: not too love it.

the continue...
Reluctant to watch it from the first, but this is the journey that I must compete. Haha... Why...? From the first season I already don't like with the ML, that make me so d*mn lazy to watch it. But at the same time I still curious with Cang Xuan political journey. So here I am finished watch this season....The story continue with Cang Xuan (CX) start his political stage. While in this season, Xiao Yao (XY) live comfortably with CX protection, XY can do what ever she want & desire. And of course the love story of XY and Tushan Jing (TJ) also continue. In this season, XY & TJ prove that nothing happen between TJ & Fangfeng Yi Ying, so as easy as that, XY forgive TJ & their love continue to blossom into full bloom. Haha... How about Xiang Liu (XL)...? XL also continue with his suffering & one side love to XY.
In this season we also learn about the real parent of XY & their own stupid love story. And mostly about how CX take control of his throne & his plan to merging all the kingdom into 1. And in the end CX successful merging all the kingdom with the help from all the people, including XY's dad.
I think that's mostly the story from this season. But if you ask me personally, truth to be told, I can't really tell you much about it. Cause from half the season I start lose my interest with it, but like I said from the first, this is the journey that I must finished. So yeah I finished it with fwd button & speed... Haha...
But still, I still can tell you what I like & don't like.
What I like:
+ This very funny story about how love rival & enemy can still be friend & talk nicely. Like TJ & CX, CX never really jealous to the crazy point, so yeah they can still talk peacefully with each other. Or like when CX & XY's dad in the war, they still 'secretly' meet & talk like nothing happen.
+ The trust between TJ & XY. Although I don't like TJ, but I must admit, his trust for XY is unlike any other ML (jealousy became everyday food), he can still trust XY no matter how close she is with CX or XL.
+ The growth of A Nian, Although still feel sort of forcing, but she really grow into mature woman who really know how to behave.
What I don't like:
- XY is stupid woman, who never realize how CX or XL had deep feeling for her.
- The boring journey of CX political stage. Ugh... I just don't care of his way to concurring all the nation.
- I never really understand the grudge XY has with her mom. I know she feel abandoned, but I just can't grab the concept of that became the resentment in XY's heart
Overall this just another drama in my list. If I'm not looking forward to watch the end, this already become one of drop list. Haha...

Watch this of course for my Xu Kai & Yang Mi. Although I quite like the dynamic between this couple but the plot itself more & more uninterested toward the end. All the case related to them is kinda doesn't make sense & I kinda doesn't really understand what that's all about.... It seem what Qin Shi (QS) did in her lawfirm kinda over her scoop as an attorney, like when they defense He Dong Na, or when they want to make pre-martial agreement, all the things they did I don't know is it lawyer supposed to do...? And also all the chaos related to Yang Hua previous job very confusing....
What I really like from this couple (QS & Yang Hua) is how mature they are. They always talk about their feeling and honest with each other. But their feeling is so sudden & quite unclear when it's even started. The other thing that I really like is the friendship between Li Dai & QS. The healthy rivalry that in the end make friendship out of it...
What I really don't like is how childish Wu Fei is. Yeah I know jealousy is a b*tch and very hard to control. But at first she's the one that arrange the job for Tao Jun Hui & yet she's also the one that did all the stupid things in the end.
And don't let me started with QS's brother & his wife. How messy their marriage is. One of the most toxic relationship that I've ever watch in the drama....
Well in the end this just another drama to watch.

Just because of Xu Kai
Almost didn't watch this because what AvenueX @YouTube said in her review. But this is Xu Kai drama, so here I am still watching it....What AvenueX said in her video is so true. This drama just for the sake Xu Kai & Wu Jin Yan pairing. In my opinion she's not even the best partner for Xu Kai. Maybe I've to watch YanXi Palace first so I can ship them together....
In the term of story this is not very good. They combine Food & politic, but didn't do the very good job, so yeah it's kinda messy. At the end this drama is about food or politic is very questionable.... The food itself yeah at first kinda drooling, but I've watched drama with more drooling food.
But yeah when you put politic in ur every plot that when you can see that all the people basically so messy & hide ugly self within themselves & once you fall down the rabbit hole into the dark pit you can't get urself out of it....
So yeah this drama just for the sake pf the actor/ess involve, nothing more

finally finished
I have to stop watching unfinished drama... huhuhu....After I've watch snow sword stride (SSS) I decided to watch this. I have to say this drama have the same vibe with SSS, or should I say SSS have the same vibe with this one. But while SSS have no cliffhanger when they close the curtain, this was like Princess Agent have a frustrated cliffhanger that makes me want to punch the writer in the face. Yes I know they have the 2nd season on the road, but never I've expected they have the same open ending like princess agent.
Don't know to be cry or excited waiting for the season 2. Because I really don't know will Xiao Zhan ever come back to this drama due to his pack schedule.... While his character rather quite important here, and if they change the actor I don't know what my reaction will be.
So yeah I'll gonna put this drama on hold until the second season aired & I will be able to watch that... & after that I'll gonna rise the score too....
==============================================================================================
After hold it for 2 years, finally I'm able to finished this drama. Also still with thought in my mind, will I regret myself for watched this series before all of it aired...? Well... We'll see then...
Story about Fan Xian (FX), a man who 'reborn to ancient time'. He lives in a rural town as the illegitimate son of the Minister of Finance, raised by his grandmother. FX lived free life, guarded by a blind martial arts expert, Wu Zhu (WX), his mother's bodyguard. One time, there's a master of art of poison, Fei Jie (FJ), who come to the town to teach FX the art of medicine & poison. With that FX learn the art of poison from FJ & martial arts from WX.
After an assassination attempt, he decides to venture into the capital to find out more about his mysterious mother and why anyone would want to kill him, as he perceives himself to be an unimportant person. In the capital, he accidentally meets Lin Wan Er (WR), the sickly illegitimate daughter of Princess Royal, and falls in love with her. Unbeknownst to him, she is the woman the emperor chose for him to marry so that he would be the new overseer of the Royal Treasury, an institute Fan Xian's mother established in the palace and currently handled by Princess Royal.
In the capital, however, he gets entangled in the intrigues of the Emperor and the two Princes, as well as the Overwatch Department, leading to him questioning his whole identity and inducing him to find his true life goals, abandoning his original intention to just "enjoy life". So, how his journey will go from here...?
That's basically what this drama about, this time MDL wrote quite accurate about it. Haha... Now let's talk what I like and don't like...
What I like:
+ The interesting character. You can say everyone in here, from FX, WR, Emperor, Chen Ping Ping (CPP) till Wang Qi Nian all interesting in their own way.... Everyone seem to have layer of character / face that will reveal in the perfect timing...
+ One of the greatest 'chess' politic in drama land. Oh... When you hear what CPP & emperor actually planning / cooking under the table, in the few last ep... You will either be amazed by them or you will shake your head, wondering how they have the heart to do so to FX.
+ Watching drama from 5 years ago bring some familiar face that unfamous back then, but now they're someone who are the lead in the drama, like Song Yi as Fan Ruo Ruo. Oh when I watched this 2 years ago, I don't remember nor know her, but now at least I know who she is. And that's make the drama more interesting to watch...
What I don't like:
- The series divided into 3 parts & we have to wait it so damn long for the next series.
- Everyone sometimes so damn stupid, they really willing to do anything in the name of their country... That's kinda pissed me off...
Overall I really think this one of unique drama. But the 3 parts really pissed me off. So yeah, I still need to lower the score... And in the end I still quite excited to watch the next part...

The man so cute...
Yeay finally able to watched this with eng sub. Thanx to VIKI to provide us with full eng sub. But the bad thing about VIKI are, you can't download it nor you can up speed it. So yeah I watch this streaming & with normal speed.As usual every drama have + & -. Let's discuss them
The (+):
+ The Male character is so cute.... Chang Yi (CY), Li Shu (LS) or Kong Ming (KM) so cute when they have to deal with their love one. The pure CY at first, seeing Ren Jia Lun so cute like that really make me happy. The cutest of them all is when I see KM being 'cornered' by Luo Jin Sang / "Luo Luo" (LL), is really so cute and adorable....
+ Within time I really like how Ren Jia Lun choosing drama. Really hope he's not gonna fall into another boring drama, where he only have stone face. His smile is so adorable, really like to see his smile....
+ Like the chemistry between Dilireba & Ren Jia Lun. Even though they're not so much time together at this part, I can see they quite compatible
The (-):
- The story is so slow... I really hope I can watch this with at least 1.25 or 1.5 times speed
- Nothing new for Dilireba part... Same old same old
- They like 'forcing' everyone to get partner. Even like LL must get partner.. Although actually I quite like each other partner in the end.
Looking forward for the next part.

The story of Sang Yan, the brother from Hidden Love, played by Bai Jing Ting… Of course I need to watch this. Haha…Story about Wen Yi Fan (YF) & Sang Yan (SY), high school friends that had feelings for each other but part ways because YF decided she wanted a clean slate for whatever reason.
Now 8 years later, YF who works as a reporter, went to a bar called Overtime to meet with her best friend, Zhong Si Qiao (SQ). While she was at the bar, she met SY again. SY now is a department manager and one of the owners of Overtime. As the two bump into each other, they just pretend that they don’t know each other.
Since then, they’re been bumping into each other more often. One day some problems occur, and the two accidentally & forcely become housemates. It’s like the universe starts giving them 2nd chances to get to know each other again & close the deal for their relationship. So, will YF & SY take the chance that the universe has given them to take their relationship to the next step…? What exactly was the reason that made YF want to leave at that time?
That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ Bai Jing Ting & Zhang Ruo Nan are good matches. I quite like their chemistry
+ Zhang Ruo Nan played YF beautifully. I can feel all her pain
+ I fell more in love with SY. His dedication to YF. Ugh… Love him…
+ SQ is a wonderful friend & I’m happy she got together with her partner.
+ It’s really funny to have an inside joke about SY & Duan Jia Xu relationship at one point. You need to watch to understand what scene I mean.
+ I really love how SY announced his relationship with YF to his group at their friend's wedding….
What I don’t like:
- They changed the actor who played Sang Yan…. I still don’t like this fact. Cause for me, unlike Go Go Squid 2, I really like the actor who played Sang Yan. It just feels perfect for the character. But yeah once again, I quite understand why they changed the actor…. That doesn't mean I don’t like Bai Jing Ting here…
- The story is kinda draggy and boring.
Overall I love watching Sang Yan & Yi Fan story, but nothing really a miss if their story never on the screen....

Not as toxic as the other of MAME works...
Sky x Prapai aka Peat x Fort, of course here I come... Haha...Much like any other MAME works, this also works for me... Haha... I like it. And quite surprising, this time the relationship between the main couple is not as toxic as the other... Of course, sometimes there is no drama without toxicity & sometimes we just crave for it... Haha.... But enough about the introduction, let's just dive into the drama...
Tongrak is a writer of popular romance novels, forced to go to the island by his friend. On the island he met Mahasamut, the local tour guide guy, who loved teasing him... Of course right out of the bat, they start bickering, because Mahasamut thinks Tongrak is just an arrogant city guy & Tongrak pissed cause Mahasamut likes to tease him.
But of course they’re still our main couple. So one thing leads to another, they start their one night stand. And it turns out Tongrak just can’t get enough of Mahasamut, and vice versa. In the end, when Tongrak vacation days ran out Mahasamut just hopped to the ship that brought them to Bangkok.
In Bangkok, Mahasamut has to get the stamp approval from Tongrak inner circle, aka his assistant Vivi & Khaimuk (Mook), Tongrak best friend. And later on, we also get introduced to Tongrak’s family, aka Tongrak’s niece; Meena, Tongrak’s cousin; Prin & Tongrak dad; Jak. Meena is a cute little girl, but Prin & Jak is a whole toxicity itself…
Prin, with her jealousy, tries to bring all the misfortune to Tongrak. And Jak with his own scheme also tries to ruin Tongrak & Mahasamut. So, what will happen to Tongrak & Mahasamut in the end…?
That’s pretty much the story without giving too much clue about what happened… Now let’s talk about what I like & don’t like.
What I like:
+ Peat x Fort. Oh I love their chemistry…
+ The cute Meena
+ Loyal Vivi & Mook
Overall this is quite a good story to tell. I like it.
Below I'll write about what I don’t like, but that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it at your own risk!!!
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
What I don’t like:
- The half baked story. If not about Tongrak & Mahasamut, all the other stories feel like half baked. Like the story about Vivi & Mook. What happened to their relationship in the end…? Or like why Prin is so f*cking jealous of Tongrak…? See half baked….
- I need more background about Jak’s abuse toward both of his children, until Tongrak, his sister, and even Meena are so afraid of him.
- The most unfortunate is Vivi & Mook story. I really need closure for their relationship.

My March Recommendation movie
Watched this for my Recommendation Challenge from 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕1221. Let’s talk movie…The story follows Wu Ming-han (MH), a hot-headed, homophobic, and highly superstitious police officer. Because of his brash, arrogant & reckless behavior on the job, his superior officer assigned him to neighborhood cleanup duty (picking up trash) as a disciplinary punishment.
While he was grumbling and picking up litter with his tongs, he spotted the red envelope in the street. Thinking it was just another trash to be cleared, he picked it up—and that's when an old lady yelled and suddenly the rest of the group appeared & surrounded him, claiming he was the chosen groom. According to local folklore, this means he has "consented" to a ghost marriage with the deceased owner. The owner is Mao Mao (MM), a young gay man who died in a mysterious hit-and-run accident.
Terrified and unwilling—especially because the groom is a man—MH tries to refuse. But after experiencing a series of bizarre and life-threatening incidents, he has no choice but to go through with the ritual.
To his horror, after the wedding, MH begins to see and communicate with MM. Unlike the scary vengeful spirit MH expected, MM is not scary and quite quirky. MM simply can’t move on to the afterlife because he has "unfulfilled wishes."
The two strike a deal: if MH helps MM fulfill his final wishes and uncover the truth behind his death, MM will move on to the afterlife and leave MH alone.
As they investigate, they discover that MM’s death wasn't just an accident—it was a hit-and-run committed by a notorious drug lord, Lin Hsiao-yuan—a target MH is already pursuing. Now, two missions become one, MH and MM work together: MH handles the real-world investigation, while MM uses his ghostly abilities to assist from the shadows.
Through their journey, MH begins to change—not just about spirits, but about love, identity, and what it means to truly see someone.
And when the final moment comes… How will it all end?
Will MM finally find peace—and cross over to the afterlife?
Or will he simply… disappear?
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers.
What I like:
+ Some scenes are simply just hit the spot, some are funny (like when MH first met MM), but some are also so sad (like the last scene).
+ When prejudice meets their karma not all end up bad…
+ The unexpected betrayal….
What I’m not too like:
- The scene sometimes is just too exaggerated & silly.
Overall this is a really good movie to watch….

My Aug 2025 recommendation
Long time this drama sit in my PTW, but thanx to Recommendation Challenge & 𝘿𝙚𝙚𝙥, I finally watch this drama…As usual, I’m not particularly fond of remakes, because I can’t help but compare them to the originals. And more often than not, I prefer the original—though there are a few exceptions. Turns out, this one is another exception.
Now let’s dive into the story…
This is the story of 3 children from 3 imperfect families who find comfort in each other and form a family of their own.
The story begins with Yun Jeong Jae (Yun papa), a single dad raising his only daughter, Yun Ju Won (JW). One day, he is introduced to a young woman through a matchmaking program. This young woman, Kang Seo Hyeon (SY), is also a single parent raising her son, Kang Hae Jun (HJ). Yun papa and SY are supposed to be a potential match, but things don’t go as planned. SY mysteriously disappears, leaving her son behind. Instead of abandoning HJ, Yun papa decides to raise him as his own, alongside his daughter JW.
Meanwhile, another family moves into the apartment above them — the Kim family. Kim Dae Uk (Kim papa), his wife Kwon Jeong Hui (JH), and their son Kim San Ha (SH). The Kim family moved after an unfortunate incident involving their late daughter, Kim So-jeong (SJ). SH accidentally caused his sister’s death, which has become a source of immense grief and tension in their family — especially for his mother, JH, who blamed SH entirely.
Unable to stand seeing how SH is treated at home, Yun Papa—moved by compassion—tells JW to befriend him and invites him over for meals. When JH can no longer endure her own bitterness — especially after seeing how happy SH thanks to JW, she decides to leave the family and move out, abandoning SH in the care of JW and her father.
And so, their unconventional “family” begins: two fathers—Yun Papa as the nurturing heart, Kim Papa as the quiet provider—raising three children: Yun Ju-won (JW), Kang Hae-jun (HJ), and Kim San-ha (SH).
They grow up together, bound by love rather than blood. JW always refers to HJ and SH as her brothers, and they fiercely defend each other against anyone who speaks ill of their unconventional "family".
When they reach high school, JW gains another ally in her best friend, Park Dal (PD), who always stands by her against the whispers about their unconventional family.
Things get complicated when SH’s mother (JH) suddenly returns, this time bringing along her new daughter, Jung So-hee (JSH). The situation worsens when JH is involved in an accident that kills her new husband and leaves her with a leg injury requiring long-term physical therapy. Leaving SH with no choice but to take on the responsibility of caring for her.
At the same time, HJ faces a shocking revelation: his biological father, Yang Dong Gu (DG), is alive. DG had abandoned HJ and his mother years ago to marry into a wealthy family. But things didn’t go as he had hoped — he never had another child. Now he wants HJ back, hoping to groom him as his heir. But this means HJ would have to move to the US.
At first, HJ was completely against the plan. He doesn’t want to leave Yun papa or their family. But with the financial burden of pursuing university looming over him—and with a friend’s encouragement—he finally agrees to take advantage of DG’s offer—not for the inheritance, but to secure his future at a university in the US
So, as their senior year ends and university life awaits, both HJ and SH face the reality that they will have to go their separate ways from their unconventional "family" and leave JW behind.
At first, they all do their best to keep in touch. But as time passes, their communication grows less frequent. Before they realize it, ten years have flown by. One day, HJ and SH suddenly return to their small hometown.
At first, JW feels awkward meeting them again — familiar faces, yet distant connections. But slowly, they fall back into their old rhythm, rediscovering the warmth and comfort they once shared. However, beneath the surface of those old bonds, new feelings begin to emerge—especially between SH and JW.
For SH, who has always found comfort and security in JW, his feelings have long grown into something more than just that of a sibling. And now he now wishes to explore something more than a sibling bond.
Now the question is: What will JW’s answer be to SH’s feelings? If the feelings are mutual, how will their family react — especially Yun papa and Kim papa?
That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now the difference between 2 dramas… I’ll try to keep it spoiler free…
The difference:
* After watching the Korean version (FBC) the first obvious difference is the romance between JW & SH with Li Jian Jian (JJ) & Ling Xiao (LX). After watching this, it became more obvious Go Ahead (GA) romance is so weird & forced. Especially when LX kinda forces his way a little bit into JJ.
* The way FBC portrays SY as a more loving mother than GA is leaving a bigger impact. From early on we can clearly feel & see how much SY loves HJ, it’s kinda not believable if she just leaves HJ behind for no reason. In GA, He Zi Qiu (HZQ)'s mother feels more detached, not as loving as here.
* SH’s mother is painfully b*tch in both dramas. But here, she’s more tolerable. FBC put more into her perspective, in GA, I don’t really understand why LX’s mother is so toxic, and doesn’t want to let him go. With a little of her perspective from here, I think I understand her better.
* No unnecessary friend drama. In GA, JJ at one time had problems with both of her friends. Sometimes yeah that’s just added unnecessary screen time…
* The feeling of Yun Papa & SY is more subtle than in GA. We can’t really see that Yun Papa is mesmerized by her & falls at the first sight when they met back then. It's just like they just added this story cause in GA they ended up together, so it's just 1 tiny detail they can’t change.
* The way they make JW the one pursuit bakery than HJ is also better & makes a little sense. The one that has a sweet tooth is the one pursuing making cake, better then one just learning to please the other, like JJ & HZQ.
Overall this really interesting intake of the remake of Go Ahead…. Happy to watch this… ^^

Quite a buzz this is on the feeds makes me curious to watch. So, let’s start with the story…Story about Da On (DO) & his 3 men. Haha…
DO’s company just hired a batch of new employees, and his boss assigned him to mentor one of them—Ju Seong Hyeon (SH). And yes, as MDL told us in the summary, the relationship between DO and SH becomes increasingly ambiguous as time progresses.
Then there’s Sin Jae Min (JM), DO’s long-time friend and former tutor. Over time, JM becomes more than just a mentor—he turns into DO’s crush. And while viewers can clearly see that JM sees DO as more than just a friend or student, he never fully acknowledges or acts on his feelings, keeping his emotions locked away for reasons he keeps to himself.
The third man in the mix is Kim Su Hyeon (SY), the company heir. He used to be close friends with DO, but things changed when he suddenly distanced himself. Later, we learn that SY made a deal with JM to stay away from DO.
Things get complicated when SY returns to the country and starts working his way back into DO’s life.
So… how will this messy love square play out?
That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers.
Overall, the drama was compelling enough for me to remember it. But honestly, It just filled with a bunch of dumb, manipulative people and controlling assh*l*s trying to control DO.
Thankfully, we still have Seong Hyeon (SH) as the one bright spot in all of this. Offering a much-needed breath of fresh air for DO.

My May 2025 recommendations challenge
Watch this for my May 2025 recommendations challenge by Marina. But actually quite intrigued by this since its airing time, when people keep posting about this on the feed. Well, finally I've watched it.As usual, story first…
The series follows the story of a group of strangers who are mysteriously drawn to a light shop located at the end of a shady alleyway. Inside the shop, a cautious shopkeeper guards all the lights within.
Little by little they unravel the story about these strangers & the secret the light shop has.
That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ I’m usually not a fan of this genre, but the intriguing plot really pulled me in.
+ I liked how the story gradually revealed the secrets of the shop and each character—it kept the suspense alive.
+ The horror elements were well-executed and compelling enough to keep me watching until the end.
+ I'm also glad they gave us the shopkeeper's backstory and a happy ending for him.
Overall this is a good drama to watch. Below I'll write what I'm not too like about this drama. But that also means SPOILERS ALERT!!! Read it at your own risk.
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
- This has an open ending with very much possibilities of season 2.
