Solid Antihero Thriller, give it a try

first of all this is way better binged so you who haven't watched it yet are lucky ones however,

in my opinion no matter how far i stayed away from this it kept maintaining the level of good and thrill that it had, it always had me so emotional it's a good one .. for me to stick around for more than a couple of months, and with such a long wait and bad airing schedule and i watch the first ep as soon as it aired and kept on going but it was all worth it in my opinion .. i was so invested in the story and ep 12 killed me ...

so i highly encourage you to watch it if you're a fan of the antihero tope and if you like unpredictable thrillers ... of course there is stuff you will predict but like I think this one was a drama that wasn't like one of those dramas that were safe ... like each eps is packed with some " nothing ever going according to plan " elements which i really liked when I'm watching a thriller not to mention good acting .. (except one thing that went down that i'm heartbroken about )

and regarding the ending in my opinion this was a good ending tbh i like the fact they somewhat gave us a vage ending it made much more sense because had they actually tried to wrap it up i wouldn't believe it .. they did not have enough time to answer all our questions so it was smart of them to finish it off the way they did .. which also leaves a possibility for a season 2 which i will gladly watch ( if ever ) beecaauseee the show was so good

A piece of happiness of something we were nostalgic for that suddenly came back

The certainty is what season 3 had that the other seasons didn't

the progression was natural and beautiful... we wanted more of course but this drama was a piece of happiness of something we were so nostalgic for that suddenly came back to us . the acting was spot on too .. i blame the writers for taking so much of sun rok's scenes away .. but the animation , the direction , tho so short but done in a way that's so perfect , you can't complain about anything but the length really .. the cells are as fun as they were in previous seasons .. also sun rok
s heart fever time and the general swear to walk her path forever this season wins you over

i love i love i love , yumi cells is nostalgic to me and has a special place in my heart .. her finally finding love is also so so special . love ouri soon rok ahhh .. he's the sweetest ...thoroughly enjoyed it ... i only wish we got more of them

i CRIED at the ending you guys ... it's been a long time coming .... shin sun rok's certainty about her from the start , after being rejected once made me cry , also the final scene with her parent's made me so giddy too .. it's only fault is that its too short

also I even love how this season cleared up the misunderstanding regarding wung .. it pretty much explained to yumi that it wasn't because he didn't love her and mirrored it .. made my heart heal a little bit
after ep 5 season 2 my heart broke watching how wung imagined it would be if he reacted differently .. this healed me , also sun rok certainty also healed what season 2 broke too aka what babi broke

for those like me who hate webtoon babi and are furious because of stolen scenes and still are hesitant to start , hear me out .... i can't begin to explain how jin young's casting was orchestrated so people will like babi because no one likes webtoon babi ...but even though i love and adore jin young ; i STILL preferred woong over him in the drama.. and then sunrook when he came along .. although sunrok's scene were taken .. many of us still loved s3 more ... so if you're like me the webtoon lover, and then a drama lover , you'll appreciate the live action .. and the animation ... it's such a good show , if you're afraid of watching all the season just watch the third but i watched it over the years not all at once so i'm sure it will be different if you binge all of them ...

9.5 is a subjective rating but that just indicates my love for it and how special it is , i knew i'd love the final season more than the rest regardless ... though the objective rating would've been a 9 or 8.5 , and season 1 was 8.5 to me and i thought it had more content regarding the cells and romance so before this wrapped up i believe objectively it's the better season however this gets a higher rating subjectively for winning my heart and yumi's forever as well ... so you just helplessly end up loving it more


also love the osts ... i love all seasons' ost they all are so good , an escape trulyyyy

Bravery, Chivalry, Sacrifice, Nobility, Love and Compassion. STOP HESITATING AND WATCH THIS

i watched it again tonight, it made me feel the same way i felt the first time i watched it.
An amazing movie about bravery, chivalry, sacrifice, nobility and heroism, will always remain one of my favorite war movies, it had super amazing CGI, great acting ,and fight scenes and tactics but it also had great character development and amazing relationship dynamic, it was beautiful despite the bittersweet scenes, what grabbed my attention the most was the heart of the people so resilient that it tugs at heart and the way it was filmed and acted, this was so empowering and inspirational and delivered much much more than i would have imagined, the emotions were so raw and the beauty of the messages it wanted to convey were immense, this movie deserves a round of applause and nothing less. IF YOU ARE HESTITATING WHETHER TO WATCH DUE TO THE BAD COMMENTS . it's honestly YOUR OPINION to decide, i love epic war and all, i was put of by the comments and when i went in to watch not knowing what to expect but man did it this movieee surpass all my expectations, YES some parts could've have been better but if you love a movie, you love it. and i absolutely, wholeheartedly loved it!
IN THE END IT'S JUST A MOVIE AND YOU SHOULD DECIDE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT .

beautiful, heartbreaking but also perseverance and healing love

phenomenal melodrama indeed , pretty heartbreaking but beautiful .. i absolutely loved it and i wanted to kick myself for not watching it soon but this year is the year i decided to watch a few gems from previous years that people talked about that I didn't watch and this was one of them .... oh my goodness i put everything on hold to binge this and man was it worth it

the ml has a character development . he's one of the best ml i've ever stumbled across to be honest .. he's gonna be a memorable one indeed... ji sung's acting was just oozing with talent and jung eum was insanely talented and her acting so heartfelt and very exceptional, you literally cry with her she's that good and she looked absolutely stunning here .. sometimes i couldn't take my eyes off of her and o course our handsome ju sung a 9.5 for me and only cause i felt the need for more scenes with them , the sexual tensionn , the angst , the tenderness at times .........ughghhgh guiltiest of pleasures

i'm not one to write detailed reviews or posts about drama so that's about it .. one of the best melodramas and possibly best dramas of its time .. and it holds up so well with time and it's just such a good one when craving a classic i'm willing to rewatch this maybe later .. sadly i want more of them and now i understand why the fans were so happy about kill me heal me reunion .. sadly for me i already watched and adored that one gave it a 10 as well it's also in my fave drama list and i adored them but now that i've seen it all .. guess when i miss them i;ll have to rewatch one of them .. tho i wish i could just forget and rewatch for the first time .. as i'm not much of rewatcher ... ♥♥♥♥

for me these two actors have been a one true match and the best paired together in my opinion both for ji sung and jung wum, they have the best chemistry and ever since i watched kill me heal , shin se gi / cha do hyun and ri jin has always been one of faves but oh well .. imagine if i watched this first and then watch kill me heal me ... myyy myyy i would've felt double the intensity ..... since shin se gi and her resembled min hyeok and yoo jung here .. would've been so satisfying .. t

well anyway i highly recommend this ... the male lead isn't that much of unforgivable jerk like the drama advertised itself to be ... instead you'll see another character who is exactly the real jerk snake so ..... in fact i'd argue the ml is truly wonderful and sweetheart compared to other characters ... man that stopped me from watching thinking he's is inspired from terrible lakron characters ( i don't watch those because how bad it is there) but i thought that he's very low key and a very deep character who has one of the best character development i've seen yet ..

" you will be the subject of my curiosity forever " " forever crazy jealous too "

For those who love when the ml pines for the fl and yearns and jealousy and his love eat him up and he has to hide it and suffer all alone , this one is perfect for you also if you're a jo jung seok lover , this one is a hidden gem . lets all his good pining expressions and jealousy and anger out .. here he demonstrates the fullest of potentials not to mention beautiful kisses and the most natural chemistry i have seen in a while , like i didn't feel like hwa shin and pyo na ri were even acting ... i rarely write reviews but this one deserves it , if you were deterred because of any reason just watch it and decide for yourself , if you go with the mindset to enjoy this one , i promise you'll enjoy every bit of it .

jealousy incarnate is one of those shows were you say i need to go back home to watch my fave series , my fave drama , watching this show albeit longer than many other felt like an escape, i binged some of it , watched some it slowly but always because i was busy doing work related things, always fun always looked forward to watching the episode , up until jealousy incarnate i used to think i hated watching love triangles but with jealousy incarnate it was so much fun i have to say , the right kind of chaotic and messy , but also intense and fun , it portrays things in such an intense raw manner , it's a whole experience , i didn't even mind the length of the eps ( 24 ) because i wasn't hurrying to finish the show , like i normally am with other shows , i felt enthusiastic about watching it and even writing about it , like this is something i indeed have missed about about watching kdramas so it was very nostalgic , older dramas are truly the best and they're classics really,, it aged so well. not to mention how hilarious this show was, side characters are amazing too , fun following all the side drama and stories , quite a complete show i never had to skip any scene and i never fast-forwarded, which is something i have adopted doing and haven't stopped these days with how mediocre the new kdramas are . good development on behalf of the characters , loved jung won until the end too , what's you can't help but love the jerk male lead and root for him too honestly, he's is the heart of the show,, i loved him from the start regardless, such dynamics i think are my guilty pleasure for a romcom , that's how it should be done , just adds more fun to it . No one and I mean it when i say , No one could've played hwa shin better than jo jung seok , he nailed it , his acting is immaculate , the energy , the soul that he has , the passion for acting , you see it and you can't look back , forever among my ultimate favorite actors

like i didn't even want this to be over .... the fun in my life would significantly be diminished .. it was my joy in life for the past weeks trulyyyy couldn't have a better decision than watching this drama as soon as found time , and i was itching to do it as if i knew , just knew that i couldn't miss this and postpone such joy any longer

Different but not at all disappointing .... in hopes you don't miss out on this beauty

i loved it personally , i thought it was bad because of all the comments when it was airing but my goodness it blew me away , i found myself loving it so much , it touched me too , the ost was gorgeous , the acting was stellar.
i had been wanting to like a kdrama this much this year and i finally did .. the main couple stole my heart really , the story in itself is very simple and maybe the retelling wasn't what most would like but i will say this it was heartfelt , the pain shared the love felt ...
the main couple relationship just felt intimate, healing and almost inevitable .. which is why i also love the ending and the finale .. please don't let yourself miss out on it , one of a kind , very different and yet , very kdramaawiii in essence , a gem indeed , and for gong yoo lovers , just dive right in , he's such a sight to look at , wonderful actor . never a dull moment .. i enjoyed all his characters until now .. as for the actress .. i added her character to my fave female lead list , i really really loved her tbh , amazing acting and just soothing voice too and very real emotions portrayed here .. but just because i love the actor so much isn't the reason i liked it , nothing stops me from dropping something i can't watch ,even my biases, just wanted to point that out

don't listen to anyone dissing this and watch it, i mean just decide for yourself , if you think it's boring don't give it more than 2 or 3 eps , it picked up around 2 or 3 for me at least, if the sexual content tag annoys you, you can always skip the scenes that annoys you , i thought it was unnecessary too but regardless , there isn't much nudity anyway . just a scene if i remember correctly , idk if this qualifies as a review but let's say it is , rather a general one .. in hopes you don't miss out on this beauty

Fantastic super power movie - horror edition

This was such a fantastic movie all around .. woahhh now that i don't have time for dramas and am catching up on some movies .. what a gem tbh .. i highly recommend ... it has a boss fight too .. lol .
the scenery is good , the acting is lovely . i loved the older priest ( such a sweetie ) and lol park seo jun was good and pretty funny with his " almost no reactions " i liked his character a lot , i loved their relationship tbh , i wanted more too , i wouldn't have mind if it were to be made into a drama but i'd like to see the same cast .....

i can't tell you how scary i consider it because it didn't scare me but it does have some stuff but then again it's the kind i'm really used to ... the only horror i can't watch is the really really bloody gorey savage ones where intense disfiguration and killings happen directly on the screen or where there's a really creepy thing that happens that haunts me and this didn't have that , at least not to the level that scares me but the movie is gripping from start to finish .. and you do find yourself rooting for the characters and it even has some scenes that try to haunt you . which is why it succeeds in selling itself as a horror more than other kmovies who say are horror but are genuinely just thrillers with a monster or a silly looking ghost ..

it has a villain whose well written and hero whose journey and story was very interesting and intriguing to follow , it just like all kdramas and movies didn't shy from having meaning and emotions which something i really like .. i like how the priest explains to our hero how his " disbelief" was rather faith and is actually what fuelled the super power ( how i interpreted it ) sounds vague but when you watch this movie you will understand what i mean

for me felt almost like a hero story but powered by jesus. idk i have mixed thought about the concept but it was used in a good way , that glorifies god so maybe that's my thoughts on it for now

final verdict ... good for movie night , i watched it alone but would be nice to watch with friends or fam . ( would imagine this is not too suitable for people who are easily disturbed or kids or for those who haven't watched enough horror .. sometimes the idea of something can disturb more the scenes too so yeah )

a true romcom that's really romcomy

a drama where i think our writernim have found the right balance between seriousness and absolute ridiculousnes , drama and comedy .. my respect, writernim.
this show was so good , one of my favorites second couples ever to be honest was looking forward to their scene as much as i was the leads if not more , it was so good , i love their story .. i like the leads as well so much , lovely kisses as well and the couples are just too cute
the drama was so good that i stayed up all night til 4 am binging all episodes , the final could've been a bit better but it doesn't take away from how good this was
it was such a one true romcom .. not much else and i like that about it , nothing too cliche in my opinion i love it .. it made me laugh so hard and made me happy ..... there were of course a few serious things but they don't take up that much space and everything is like really well balanced whish is how i wish most romcoms are tbh
the feelings and fun count in my rating so yeah subjective all the way with this one , when i enjoy a drama i no longer rate it objectively and i don't care about it's flaws ... bok gyu truly hilarious he and the writer are my fave characters tbh they have my heart and don't forget to watch the spin off , after this as you won't have enough of them

i really really adore this one i have to give it a 9

so this drama let me tell you .. brilliant and hilarious first ep. i died laughing my but off all the way through .. everything is just funny about it , hahah it is rare for me to love the pilot ep even some of my faves don't exactly have the best start, some do but it is rare, so gorgeous start all around ... felt so in love right then and there with our ml and ourii han moon seonsinnim
then again best two first eps i've started this year , when a drama hooks you right from the start that's how you know , you just know , i stayed up when i was supposed to go to bed wrecked my schedule for it , it's that fantastic

it starts fun and heroic and hilarious and then continues inspiring as they save their patients with the help of each other . through the challenges and opposition how they win characters over, the dramas really gives you such an adrenaline boost in certain eps .. very thrilling episodes come along as you go to the next eps , you really don't feel the time go by it's bingeworthy and then it also explore the emotions of these docs and nurses too, i love almost all characters, they're just likable, very easily and i promise nothing about this drama feels forced even the character development of ouri han yurim seonsinim hahah for instances he became also one of my faves as the drama progressed .. here, this exceed all expectations tooo i was expecting it to only stick to its hospital premise and everyday cases but no it went beyond just having different cases every ep and i love that, the addition of a variety of situations and scenes where they still fight for patient's lives made it, thrilling, different, special and heart-warming and y'all .. this show has it all and i think with the season 2 and 3 coming up we can explore even more fun moments with our crazy wonderful team
if you gotta watch a medical kdrama, better start with this one right here , you'll be off to a great adventure indeed! and this is coming from a medical kdrama ummm( not gonna say hater ) but i don't prefer them

A Drama That Inspires You

this drama is not your typical romcom drama.. this is more of a healing slice of life, it's beautiful and the characters shine through the pain ...i think when you go you should be expecting that so go in in the mood for a healing slice of life rather than a romcom

Most reviews I read about it and most comments made me think this was gonna be terrible but it was such a blast I’m so glad I still watched it and didn’t let the bad comments make me biased

in the dramas defense : i don't agree that the name and trailer are misleading, they fit the drama perfectly and stayed true to it pretty well and you understand that there gonna be some trouble ( melodrama and a dark side to the story from the trailer ) , but then again i agree the synopsis is kinda misleading but like from the first and second episode it explains clearly what the drama is going to be and it become clear where it's going... a drama about a castaway survivor who ended up stranded on the island trying to run away from her violent father's abuse and the boy who was going to run away with her who also was a victim of his father's abuse and then searched for her for over 15 years while hiding behind a different name wasn't magically going to somehow be a corny, funny romcom and not have any difficulties/dark side along the way

A drama that inspires you.. the drama truly inspired me and i appreciate what it actually is , i saw the beauty of it and it truly teach you something .. the story here is beautiful. heartwarming and inspiring . it has a message to tell. actually quite a few messages

i cried so much watching this drama it always had a tear falling down my cheek . always in my feels, always rooting for the characters
it makes you realize how you can give without expecting much in return , how you can love and give unconditionally, how some times you finding a meaning in life , doing so , genuine connections here were beautiful and meaningful and they can teach you something

the amount of character development you see in this drama for certain characters is just so good and so worth it , the acting is so excellent and i thibk this drama is better binged thank goodness i waited

and just like that the second half of the drama won me over in ways i can't explain it made the drama go from a 7 to 9 for me , it was very beautiful and well made
after such a perfect satisfying finaleee in such a long timmeeeeeeeeeee and now the 9 nine feels insufficient i so it's def a 9.5

and mok ha is incredible truly precious one of my fave female leads

the acting here is brilliant on behalf of all the cast, the ml did a lot of good acting with his eyes .. so expressive

Beautifully Filmed, Directly and Acted in Honor of king Danjong and his loyal friend Eom Heung-do

what an emotional and beautiful historical movie this was ... worthy of all the praise
you don't feel the time go by when you watch it .. they take a historical event for a story and give you back a heartfelt story worth watching. then again this what they do best. this is why we watch to begin with.

This movie was so well done , the execution, the direction , the background music , the acting is spot on , i cried so much .. i couldn't stop crying by the end of the movie my face started hurting .. they excel at heartwarming and heart wrenching depictions all together ..

ji hoon eyes went from defeat to persistence to fighting for a cause with the only ways you can and yoo hae jin's performance was so powerful , heart wrenchingly real and raw and his crying pierced deep in my heart and my tears couldn't help but keep falling .. i'm in love with the way they honor their history, one of their fallen king and give a life to the tragic stories of the past.. I felt Goooooosebumps and chills as i watch , i was truly blown away by how powerful it was and how immersed i was . and even after it ended it was hard to stop the tears really, it does leave a silent and yet significant impression on you, and mi do's song at the end does its magic as you sit there in tears and disbelief or denial of such an ending

from the warmth of the king , his prideful dignified stance, relentless pursuit of righting the wrongs at the end tho failed , caring for the whole village and making sure they are safe and don't suffer any consequences even after his death ..his humble tendencies and love to his people , his friendship with the warden, and the deep loyalty and love that they shared...
it was ultimately deep film filled with emotion.. even the silence in the movie was loud and powerful, he remained dignified king until his death and died at the hand of his faithful friend ..

Beautifully filmed, Directly and Acted tragedy!
