We're all hate watching, Aren't we?
I started this one because I would watch anything with Bae Inhyuk and at first it seemed promising but at this point the baby is the only reason I keep coming back and it's not even worth it.I usually don't mind love triangles, but this one is insufferable, unbearable and quite honestly torturous. The female lead is bland, boring, annoying, selfish, clueless, dumb... I could go on for days really, there's zero chemistry between her and both men. Taehyung is way too good for Hyunjin she doesn't deserve to have such a prince fall for her and the other dude sucks baaaad but I can't root that couple either. The plot is draggy, boring and repetitive, the baby is the only redeeming quality of this drama oh and Taehyung good looks are also a plus, but this is an absolute waste of time, do not watch.
I am already 10 out of 12 episodes in, I will finish, probably at 2x speed just to see how it ends, but I am sure 100% that it will be awful.
To my surprise the last 2 episodes weren't as bad as I predicted, with the love triangle was out of the way the plot became what it should've been to begin with how ever it was too little too late and not enough to save this from being the worst drama I've sat through in a long time, Do not watch this.

Ok Chanhwi made me stay
I was looking forward to this drama as I love the main leads, but the first few episodes were so Cliché and the towns people were quite annoying I kinda wanted to drop.After the 3rd episode it started getting better Our male lead is so charming that you just don't want to take your eyes off him.
This is the 3rd drama I've seen Baek Sungchul in and I liked him fine before but now Chanhwi won my heart, I kept watching mostly to see what silly shenanigans he'd be up to. I want to see more of him a main lead maybe, and I know I'm not alone in this.
The last two episodes were quite boring, I skipped most of episode 12. It's an OK drama with some funny scenes, something to watch when you have nothing better to do.

Insanity and obsession in pursuit of perfection
This series is magnificent with a few flaws here and there, I'm not pretending it's a masterpiece but, My god!! It's so good, entertaining and captivating in a way that I don't mind the flaws.Right from the beginning it grabbed my attention by the display of the bodies so beautifully and carefully set, the attention to details, the colors and whole composition are so stunningly beautiful that if they had been made using clay models, carved rocks or literally any other materials would've been, true masterpieces worthy of awards and recognition for yeas and years.
The way the story is told, even though is slow it's not at all boring, and despite dealing with horrible acts of murder very little blood and gore is shown, so even the faint hearted can enjoy this one.

Hauntingly beautiful.
Had I Not Seen The Sun Part 2.I didn't expect to like the second part more, but here I am, amazed at how perfect it was. It balanced perfectly the beautiful love story between the "butterfly and the moth" and the gruesome murders he committed to protect her.
Again I found myself forgetting that this man brutally murdered all those people, wanting to find a way for him to be forgiven, they were scum they deserved it and it was so satisfying to see these monsters cry in pain and beg for forgiveness.
Watching this part made me realize why the back story was told in such detail, all of it is important, the beautiful parts, the ugly and painful parts too all to better understand the mind of this man and the broken girl he loved so much.

It could've been amazing.
I am writing this review with 15 out of 16 episodes watched because, I needed a break and needed to vent a little. Besides, I highly doubt watching the end is going to change my mind about this train wreck of a drama.How is it that I went from being anxious for the weekend to come so I could watch this to literally forcing myself to finish? It was so freaking good when it started!! Those first two episodes were perfect!!! the fight scenes are so cool, the characters so likeable and my god The villain is beyond cool!! I saw another reviewer complain about him, something along the lines of " how can such a small man be so menacing" and that's actually the point, a small frail looking man that holds so much power that no one dares to touch him. Oh Jungse is a wonderful actor, an actor so brilliant that even in the worst of scripts he will turn out a 10/10 Characterization and Good boy is an excellent example of his brilliance.
The story just started unraveling and going nowhere and everywhere at the same time.
Dongju is annoyingly stupid and stubborn to the point that if he were a real person he would've died a long time ago! god if he weren't so pretty I'd slap him!
I am going to finish this disaster only because I need to see the captain survive this, I need to look at Bogum's smile a little longer and enjoy the wonderfuly played villain that is being wasted here. Also it's not that I don't like the romance plot,but, it would've been better without, not every story needs a romance plot and this one would've been far cooler if ot were just action comedy centered.
OK, so I finished it, the final episode was fun, I laughed a lot and really enjoyed the fighting scenes. If only they had done 8-10 episodes and cut the romance plot this would've easily been a 10 as it is I think a 6 is more than fair.

Stupid, but somewhat watchable?
I have had so many contradicting opinions on this drama, Immediately hated it and almost dropped it within the first few minutes and only stayed because Jang Kiyong is so beautiful that I couldn't look away and I'm glad I did because the first 2 episodes are fantastic up to that last part where the most idiotic misunderstanding was introduced, I truly cannot care how urgently you must go, taking a few seconds to knock on a door or at least write a note is the logical reaction, but drama land is what it is...The storyline is cliché to the max, love triangle where the second male lead is by far the best choice, fake relationships, misunderstandings you name it, this drama has it, I have despite that been actively watching because it is funny, is inoffensive and entertaining.
I am though greatly disappointed about what happened in episodes 11-12. the first being, Kim Seonu perfect beautiful Seonu waiting until the last second to reject Yoo Hayoung, that conversation should've happened the moment she expressed interest in him, I'm disappointed but still believe he's the best and second the last secret is unacceptable there is no reality in which something like that would be and I truly cannot understand why instead of yelling at her, firing her they had Jihyeok's father slap her in front of everyone to make it even worse.
This mess of a series is finally over and I should've listened to my first instinct, although it was entertaining at some point it eventually felt like a chore. To be completely honest I skipped through most of the last two episodes just to get it over with, it could've been great but as most rom-coms this years it ended up not being worth it. I mean there is something in there if you have the patience to sit through all of the garbage.

I think I might be a Moon Sangmin fan now
I opened my Netflix account and hit play on the first suggestion I got. I was immediately glued to my seat wide eyed and filled with joy. I Watched episodes 1-6 in one sitting and didn't even notice the time pass. I woke up the next day eager to watch the remaining two available episodes and I cannot stress enough how excited I am for the weekend to come so I can watch more.I wasn't interested in this drama at all I didn't know anything about the plot either,mostly because Moon Sangmin to me is one of those actors that other than being really tall and handsome doesn't really add much, but in this drama he proved me wrong in the best way. He plays the proud arrogant prince to perfection and does the slightest tweaks to his expressions to portray the body swap convincingly I don't have much to say about Nam Jihyun, because she has always been fantastic in everything I've seen her. Both leads have great chemistry with each other and are doing a great job with the body swap, I love the supporting cast and I love,love, loooove everything about this drama so far.
We're only halfway through though so I'm just hoping that it doesn't fall in quality too much in the second half.
Episodes 9-10 were amazing!! so good in fact that I'm now terrified that as per usual they'll fumble the ending. I really really hope the keep up this level until the end, this is a great drama, with great cast, great acting and such a fun plot, this totally makes up for how disappointing Moon River was for me.
There are only two episodes left of this series and this might just be wishful thinking but, I think this is going to be one of those rare times that the ending holds up maybe because I went into it expecting nothing or maybe it is this good, I don't know, but It keeps surprising me I truly cannot wait to watch how this ends.
I am completely satisfied with how this drama ended especially because of the cameo in the last episode 🤩😍😍. I really don't have anything else to add, if you're reading this and you haven't watched, go give it a go, it is really fun beginning to end. 😁

Sun isn't the jerk here, Sairung's father is.
I'm not really sure how to rate this series, I did sit through all 12 episodes in one sitting, no pauses, no breaks I just sat and watched, so I can't say I completely hated it in fact I did enjoy some of it.Sadly although an easy watch, this series makes very little sense starting from the fact that the plot consists of a girl who's suffered such trauma after her mother's passing that has caused her to develop 5 distinct personalities so her father has the genius idea to hire a jerk who's main source of income comes from tricking women into falling for him only to then mercilessly break their hearts, a job he's quite proud of and enjoys maybe too much. What kind of father would do such a heinous thing to their own daughter and why?? According to him if all 5 personalities fall for the same man they'll merge into one and all of his daughter's issues will go away. Whatt??? How!!!!??? Where did he get such a stupid idea from? What is he basing this tactic on? Not even he knows!! Father of the year right here. And I'm not even going to get into episode look, 11 I don't know anything about psychology but I can assure that that is not how DID works.
The good things, the things I stayed sat though 12 episodesof nonsense, The main actress Mind, gorgeous woman btw, did a great job portraying the 5 personalities, each had their own style, speech pattern and mannerisms to the point that one could easily tell who was on screen. Nanon who I usually associate with soft baby girl type characters that cpuld do no wrong did make this jerk heartbreaker jackass come to life, I kind of wanted to slap him a couple times and smiled ear to ear when eventually he did get slapped.
The rest of the cast was cute and they made what was a total mess enjoyable but at the end of the day it's a really dumb series that doesn't have much of a story.
If you're watching this waiting for it to make sense, don't bother but if you're a Nanon fan and want something to pass the time you might like this.
I'm rating it a 5 trust me it's not good but not entierly bad either.

Why the low ratings?
Azure Spring is a simple seaside series, the scenery is beautiful, the food looks delicious and the characters are quite likeable (except for that annoying girl) It's a healing no fuss drama and it's short so it's very easy to watch in one sitting.I saw the low rating today and I almost dropped it, I'm so happy I gave it a chance because it's a pretty nice miniseries, honestly the only reason I'm not rating it a 10/10 it's because of the annoying girl and the cat, really that cat! Is too hard to train a real cat or are they just too lazy? AI is slowly ruining everything, but anyway if you're looking for a simple healing drama this one hits the spot.

Stunning cinematography
This movie is absolutely gorgeous from the opening scene in Bolivia to the close-ups of fujishiro's face, every single shot is perfect.However, the story is absolutely confusing, boring and depressing. I couldn't understand why Fujishiro and Yayoi were together, it just didn't make sense at all. And then the flashbacks with Haru, Did she always know she was sick? Or was it something she discovered while traveling? Maybe that's why the father was so creepy, I have many questions and a lot of confusion but, I am not curious enough to keep watching I completely lost interest in the story once Haru's and Yayoi's friendship was revealed and to be honest I only got that far because I got desperate and skipped a few scenes.
It's a shame because Satoh Takeru is good, but the two leading actresses were not at all convincing in their roles, maybe if they were better I would've stuck to the end.

The younger version is better
I was going to wait to binge this one, but boredom got to me and without even noticing I had watched two episodes. I am sensing that I might regret starting before all episodes are out.I see other reviewers complaining about the adult versions being too childish and although I understand that can be annoying I usually don't mind it as long as it's no too exaggerated.
I do agree that the younger version is much better. Both couples have good chemistry and nice banter but it's funnier and more natural with the teenagers, I kinda wish that the story was set in that time period even though I do enjoy the adults too.
One thing that I don't like and it's quite common in these kdramas is that the the younger actors don't resemble the older actors, it makes the story feel disjointed as If we're watching two different couples instead of the same couple in two different time periods.
An update 5 episodes in, Cha Jihye is the worst 😫 I hate her and they better cut off ties with her by the end of the drama or I'll be livid!! also When if ever writes are going to learn that if the conflict can be resolved by having a simple conversation is not a conflict it's an annoyance!!???!! They had a much better conflict right there, the family feud, that should've been the reason or literally anything else that didn't involve a stupid misunderstanding.
I continued watching up to episode 10. I was planning to watch the last two episodes today, but, I kinda don't want to anymore. I'm so upset that they're still friends with Cha Jihye and episode 10 was so boring I skipped most scenes that didn't include the leads.
I might come back and skip through the last two episodes but I doubt it, it started fun but later became boring, predictable and frustrating.

It's like a warm hug.
I really wasn't expecting this series to be this good, I'm surprised that I'm enjoying it so much. It's simple yet enjoyable.Sunwoo Hae is such an awesome character, He's been through so much hardship at such a young age and yet he's so sweet and caring I truly love this man.
Seong Jeyeon is too cute for words truly Sunwo's perfect match.
Taerin is hilarious! every single scene she's in is a joy to watch, especially the bickering with Sunwoo.
Kim Seokju is the best characters with the best personality and is bot getting enough screen time.
I'm loving this series more and more with each episode and I hope to god that it doesn't go downhill at the end.🤞🏼
I'm not even done with episode 5 yet, but I had come and update. This drama gives me the giggles times a thousand!!! I'm loving it so so much. Please I'm begging 🙏🏼 don't let this one be another "Uncontrollably fond" It's been almost ten years and I'm still not over it.
Also I'm in love with kim Seokju.
I hastily came and updated my review halfway through episode 5 last week maybe in the hopes that maybe if I wrote it down the sad ending leering it's ugly head around the corner wouldn't come, now 8 episodes in there's no denying it.
I see the rating has been rather low throughout these past 8 episodes and I can't disagree even though I wish I could I am enjoying it much but I understand how others wouldn't. The storyline isn't the most original, we can pretty much forsee what's going to happen and although listed as mains Kim Seokju and Mo Taerin are barely in the story, so much so that it wouldn't make much of a difference if they weren't included at all; A total shame because they are absolutely adorable.
I initially compared this drama to a warm hug and I still believe it so, It's that warm comforting hug you never want to end because you know that when it does you can never go back. I as a sucker that would dive in head first into guaranteed heartbreak knowing all to well how badly it hurts, plan on seeing this through.
I will come back once all 12 episodes have aired to adjust my rating accordingly as I'm aware that I have overrated it so far.
Also, I'm even more in love with Kim Seokju.
I'm back after watching the finale, still madly in love with Seokju and upset that he and Mo Taerin didn't get the screen time they deserved.
I've been watching Kdramas for about 15 years now so I'm used to being underwhelmed by the ending, this was no exception and even more due to the fact that the final 2 episodes were split.
I don't want to give spoilers, I'll just say that, the drama was sweet all the way through but with no surprises simple comfort and a so so storyline and extremelyboringlast episode. I would recommend as a one time watch with the warning that it's very predictable and I doubt that I'd rewatch abd if I do it would be just to skip to Kim Seokju and Mo Tarein Scenes.

Disappointing
I've wanted to watch the original movie Les émotifs anonymes for a while but, I couldn't find it in any streaming service in my region so when I saw there was a Japanese adaptation starring Han Hyojoo I was psyched!!!The first couple episodes were interesting, cute and funfy.nThe actors are great in their roles and the chocolate looks absolutely divine, but I don't know, for me, there's something missing, I can't even explain why but somewhere along the way I got bored and struggled to focus and couldn'twait for it to be over already. The ending was cute but not enough to ease the feeling of disappointment it gave me.
Maybe it's me, maybe I expected too much,but it was just fine, not good, not bad, not something I would recommend or ever watch again.
Edit.
I was able to watch the movie and liked it so much better, the story is simpler and quirky, so if like me you thought this series was lacking a little something, give the movie a chance if you haven't.

Don't waste your time
I don't know how ot happened but I started this with zero expectations and still ended up disappointed.The first season of Squid Game was one of the best ever it was near perfect and it would've had they not continued the story.
Season 2 introduced a very interesting cast of Characters it was funny and seemed to have some potential, but then, nothing happened most of the runtime wasted on pointless conversations and repetitive voting scenes, I kept waiting for the fun games to start and then it ended and nothing really happened.
I only watched season 3 because I didn't want to leave the series unfinished but maybe I should have, 6 hours of my life wasted nothing to show for it, the ending left me feeling empty, unsatisfied and angry. Such aa great cast and one of the worst storyline I ever sat through.
Please if you haven't watched this season yet, just don't,you won't be missing anything.

Not worth it.
Park Minyoung used to be one of my favorite Korean actresses, but these days I can barely stand to look at her. In Healer, City hunter Sungyukwan scandal and even some of her later works, like When the weather is fine and What's wrong with secretary Kim, her face used to be so beautiful and expressive with her chubby cheeks and bright smile, I could stare at her for hours and not get bored, but now I'm not sure if she had more plastic surgery of if it's the excessive weight loss but, she's lost her brightness, her expressions are stiff and I can't quite understand what she's supposed to be feeling and that's unfortunate because this drama is very interesting, I really liked the first two episodes, but I'm not sure if I want to continue watching, I want to because I'm really curious as to what exactly is going on but, ughh the plastic face is just too distracting.I've done my best not to be distracted by Park Mingyoung's appearance, it's hard but it's worth it, Especially because the villain is so terrifying, he doesn't have that many scenes or even lines but his presence is so alluring, this might be my favorite of Ki Junghyun's characters. The plot is getting more interesting, Han Seola has got to have the worst luck in drama history it is a miracle she's still alive actually. I want to know more, I'm pretty invested here, let's see what happens in the upcoming episodes.
8 episodes into this drama, and I want my time back, by god this has gotten so dumb, this is an absolute waste of good cast. There are still 4 episodes left, and I'm not sure if I'm curious enough to see it though.
I tried to finish this but episodes 9-10 were garbage although I am curious to see how they wrap this up, I won't be watching I give up, I have had enough.
