My Purple Skies

It's freaking cute, but overrated.

My magic prophecy is just the same old story GMMTV keeps recycling and we like idiots keep eating up. The recycle the same formula over and over again sometimes with some exceptions (Not me, Last twilight, A tale of a thousand stars to mentiona few) it's fine, others it's watchable and most it's garbage.

This one falls under the just fine category, I mean I could tell who the bad guy was from the very first frame he was in they made so little effort to hide his deviousness that I was kinda hoping it was a misdirect, but no, the writters are way to lazy for that and wouldn't want to taint their next ship by having one of them be evil.

Imagine for a moment that instead of the dude that never stopped giving evil vibes the entier time hi was on screen it was the one with the constantly worried puppy expression on his face, the guy that most likely cry his eyes out over stepping on a bug on his way to work. I mean he had the cop guy wrapped around his finger the entire time so much so that I think he could've tricked him into helping if he wanted to. Would it be surprising? Not really, but, I would've liked it better.

Did I sit and watch the entire series in one sitting with a dumb smile so big that my cheeks hurt? Yep I did, however, this is not deserving of an 8.7 rating let's be honest people, not just for the stupid villain with even stupider motives but many more flaws that I'm too lazy to list. It's freaking cute, though so I would recommend a friend to watch with the fair warning that it's cuteness far outweighs it's quality.

If i find myself bored one day and want to enjoy some fluffy cuteness I'd watch again. sure.

It started as the best...

I wasn't interested at first I thought it was going to be a boring drama about greedy old men fighting for money and Park Hyunsik wasn't enough of an incentive to sit through that. I got curious though and watched the first 4 episodes in one go.

I got excited and came here praising the the drama, it was thrilling, dark l, twisted and with a fiery romance thrown in. Park Hyunsik's acting is amazing in this drama He's looking more beautiful than ever and each episode leaves you wanting more and twist after twist came and it became one of those tropey Telenovelas I grew up watching with my mom. The best character died and we were left with uninteresting villains and a mess of a plot.

My fears about this drama came true, it was the best of the ongoing for me (who at the time hadn't started When life gives you tangerines.) but it crumbled as the story progressed to the point that I'm dropping halfway through episode 15 without Ildo the drama has become the boring story of greedy old men I wasn't interested I'm watching to start with, the romance has been ruined by the distasteful they're siblings but not really though twist and besides Dongju and maybe Taeyun I just don't care about anything else.

The best acting role of Park Hyunsik in a meh storyline unfortunately. I leave this drama disappointed and hoping for a Hyunsik villain role in the future.

I shouldn't be mad...

I willingly watched this one, no one forced me, I knew it was going to be garbage but I wanted to watch Boun and Prem again, but, Why am I so mad when it indeed turn out to be garbage? I truly cannot answer that.

Maybe because I did enjoy the first 2 episodes, I thought "Oh! so it's a parody? How much fun!...slowly to realize they meant it they meant this, whatever this disaster is to be serious. Is it comedy? Is it romance?Action? I sure even the writters can't tell. I had had it by episode 6 and started skipping scenes like crazy because I really did want to see it through, but I just can't there's no saving it and I couldn't possibly care less how it ends.

No judgment on those who did like it though.

I can't get it out of my head.

Although I really enjoyed this movie, I wasn't going to write about it, because I thought I didn't have anything interesting to say, but almost a full 24 hours after watching it, I keep replaying it in my head, the more I think about it, the more I like it, the more the pain lingers so I have to put my thoughts about it in writing whether they're interesting or not.

To My Beloved Thief changed my mind about Moon Sangmin, to me he was Just tall handsome guy who just stood there with the same confused expression no matter the situation his carachter is put in, the swimmer in Mermaid prince,the prince in under the Queen's Umbrella, younger guy dating older lady in Cinderella at 2 AM, all the same boring handsome dude ( he was good in Duty after school though, just as or maybe more disgusting than Taeman was in he webtoon). All that to say that I was looking foward to what he would do in Pavane and although he does have that confused handsome guy face in this one, it works so perfectly, Gyeongrok is a sad kid who has had a really tough life, the unflattering way dresses and that gloomy air around him, Moon Sangmin made me care for this guy so badly.

I love that Kim Mijeong kept her look throughout the movie, yes she was quirky, mousy and bashful, that eventually did get better, but finically, no makeup, simple clothing and hairstyle it was just her and she didn't need to change that. The way GyeongRok would light up when he saw her was like stepping into a whole new world, these two usually gloomy people would brighten up, smile, sing and dance, and make us root for their love.

Although the movie is a bit slow at times, it makes sense given the personalities of our two main leads, its a slow burn romance with a devastating ending but it is very much worth watching at least once.

It's a good show but, It's overrated

How much you like and actor shouldn't be the reason you give their work high ratings.

This is my opinion and it's perfectly Okay to disagree. This show is not as good as people a claiming it is. It really isn't funny not one bit (Except for that one Mjolnir joke, that one still makes me chuckle) It's not scary either, but that's expected, it's available for free on YouTube. I'm not going to go into much detail because I don't want to be too negative, just because I didn't like certain things it doesn't mean it's bad it's just that it's not as good as the ratings may lead tou to think it is.

Yes it has heart touching stories, Episodes 4,7 and 8 being the best, But the first 3 episodes at least for me were so bad I almost dropped this and the only reason I didn't was because I love Tay, New and Jan so much. I was going to drop halfway through episode 2 but was encouraged to continue by 4 different people on here and I am so happy that were really nice about it and made me curious enough to continue. My favorite part has to be the ending credits, starting at episode 3 or 4 the credits show how their friendship is evolving and it's so wholesome, I loved that.

This is a good show as I said, but let's be honest If it started unknown actors would you really had rated it so highly??

I would recommend this show but with the warning to keep expectations low and bear with the bad comedy because it's a cute show.

Disney keeps disappointing me.

I wasn't expecting this to be so dark and I'm so excited for the next episodes, I wish I had waited for the whole thing to air.

Park Eunbin went from playing Innocent Doe eyed Lawyer in her previous drama to unhinged psychopath Doctor in this one two completely different personalities and she played them perfectly.

when I saw this upcoming drama starring Park Eunbin and Sul Kyunggu and didn't bother to read anything else I just added it to my watchlist without a thought, so when I saw Yoon Chanyoung pop up I was so surprised! I love the dynamic between Jung Seok and Yeonju so much, His constant stressing about who's she's going to kill next is hilarious, poor kid he's doomed.

For me these first 2 episodes were a blast I have no complaints at all 10/10 fabulous start to the series I hope it continues on this track.

My opinion agter having finished Hyper knife is that although they fumbled a bit, it's still worth the watch.

The twisted relationship between Jung Seok and Choi Dokhee makes it worth it a 100 times over. They hate each other, need each other, Yet they are the same. They make the show they are the show even if it goes onto the illogical route you get so into these two characters that you can't really care about the rest. I wish it had a better ending though.

And Yeonju is adorable start to finish the cutest most reliable person I am glad such character was added otherwise the plot might have been way to stressful to sit through.

The visuals blinded me.

I have been watching this drama week by week and haven't really given it much thought, until today I realized I was clicking on episode 9 not 5 and thought to myself, "wait a minute, I've watched 8 episodes of this thing?!! what? when? how?! I really can't comprehend because I was convinced that I was enjoying it, that it was good and that the plot was going somewhere, but not really when it's this forgettable, I guess I was just looking at the pretty visuals, the stunning cast and interesting world building. Honestly other than the ugly fake nails, I liked how beautiful everything looked.

At first I enjoyed the cunning female lead, the fantasy element, it was pretty interesting to me, but now I realized how shallow it really is. There's a lot of nonsense that has happened that I had ignored because, it's fantasy, you have to suspend disbelief to really enjoy but, I guess I suspended my whole brain because I can't really tell you much about what has happened so far other than the marriage contract that turned into really love, the evil queen, the marriage contract eventually being found out, an so on and that's something that someone who hasn't even watched an episode could tell.

So I don't kno w if I want to keep watching or drop it all together. I am sure I don't want to go back and watch the episodes again, I lost interest in watching this week, so maybe I'll wait for the last 2 episodes to air and maybe pick it back up then.

I just realized that this ended today and I hadn't thought about it since I wrote this review. I was really planing on at least skim through the last 4 episodes, but I'm not even curious about the ending so I'm done, this drama is all beauty (except for those hideous, hovering fake nails) and no substance a total disappointment in my honest and humble opinion.

Season two needs to happen soon!

This show is an absolute blast!!! it's dark, gory, suspenseful, thrilling and absolutely hilarious.

Seriously this show had no business being thia funny!! It's the kind of show that grabs your attention from the very first scene and just keeps getting better and better by the second.

I don't understand why it's not more popular really, we need to get more people to watch this it's gem that needs to get more recognition.

I understand this level of dark comedy is not for everyone, but if you do like the of quirky dark, gory, mysterious type shows you will love this one so give it a chance an recommend to your friends.

Bittersweet, Lovely and beautiful

I This show has taken my heart, my emotions and jumbled everything up, I laughed so hard, I smiled, giggled and cried like a baby.

It drew me in right from the start and by the end of the first episode it turned my world upside down, I couñd literally feel my heart sinking to my stomach.

The only fault I could say this show has is that none of the actors look like highschoolers and damn it they're so good that I couldn't care less.

The ending to the series hurt more than I was expecting but it was just as sweet and hopefulnas it was beautiful. one thing that I just can't get out of my head is why Yeonghyeon had that premonition, the show was very clear on why she was able to see him but, that dream? maybe I missed something I'm not sure but I think it's unclear.

I loved it and will rewatch and recommend a lot.

Watch this for Choo Young Woo

I started this drama with literally zero expectations. At first I thought it was just going to be one of those over the top silly no plot dramas that you just shut your brain off and ignore incosistencies because it is just that fun to watch and it is pretty fun it's getting better and better as each week.

Choo Young Woo was what mainly drew me here, I think it's ood that he keeps getting cast as a teenager when he doesn't look like one, plus he's so much better at villain roles, so much better. The drama is so fun that I don't mind that he looks older than his peers. Right off the first episode my second male lead syndrome hit me hard!! like girl I know Gyeonu is handsome but, look at Jiho for god sakes, the dude is perfect!!. I said that Choo Young Woo is better at Villain roles and this week's episodes have made me so happy, possessed Bae gyeonu is absolutely hilarious! I am loving every second of it even though I know I'mnot going to like the ending very much and I'm pretty sure I'm going to rewatch the whole thing once the remaining episodes air.

I've finished the series and I think it was an overall good story, with a few hiccups here and there, Episode 10 was a total disaster, 11 was weird and 12 while not being the most logical wrapped up everything nicely so I can't really complain much, it's about ghosts and magic it's not grounded in reality to begin with.

My second male lead syndrome still stands strong with this one, but I still enjoyed the ending. I'm definitely going to watch it again and soon.

It should've been a movie.

when I first saw news of this drama starring Got7's Park Jinyoung based on a webtoon by Kang full I was so excited, no need to know anything else I just sat and waited.

First two episodes were slow, boring and nor much happened, but I thought, it's an introduction it's bound to pick up in upcoming episodes.

Episodes 3-4 nothing really happened, we just sat watching a man creepily stalking an innocent woman. 4 episodes in and they haven't met?!! I get it, He meets her, he dies, but still!.

Episodes 5-6 came out and I skipped I thought I needed a break. Episodes 7-8 came out and I still wasn't feeling it. I thought I was dropping it, But I was still curious, it's Kang full, his stories are really good so there's got to be something here.

Episode 5 was draggy and as I was watching episode 6 I thought of taking another break, but then that ending! Finally it happened!!!

Episodes 7 and 8 were actually thrilling, my eyes were glued to the T.V totally immersed in the story, I felt anxious, I was worried and excitedfor the next scene to happen (it remindsof final destinationa bit). I am actually looking forward to the final two episodes this weekend.

I am rating it a 7 for now, depending on the ending it might go down I couldn't possibly rate it any higher because of how slow it is no matter how good the ending could be.

This would've been so much better as a movie or a 4 episode miniseries tops.

I know there's a Chinese movie adaptation out there, if anyone knows where I can find it please let me know, same with the original webtoon I can't find it anywhere if you know, please share it with me.

I have finished the series and adjusted my rating down to a 6 which I think is more than fair.

I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with a Kang Full story, that man is a freaking genius. Wher this series failed is in the way they adapted this brilliant story the pacing was way to slow one shouldn't have to sit through 6 boring episodes for the thrill to finally happen and the twist! wow I feel dumb not noticing it before it wa so good aand it would have benefitted the series to have revealed it earlier.

I do want to make clear the stalking aspect of this series as I just recently dropped the series The boy next world due to that very reason.

Dongjin is a stalker, he makes a point of it himself, however, he is doing it for a very good reason, he is madly in love with this woman and he is doing everything he can to make sure that she is happy. He at no moment is trying to force his love on her on the contrary he would've been perfectly content if what his face hadn't been a total jerk and broken the curse. The final episode was so weird it's not clear enough how or when she fell for him.

My favorite character Ho Eunsil, she was the best and we didn't have enough of her, I wish her and joonghyuks story weren't so rushed, because again, When did she fall for him exactly!?

In conclusion it's an excellent story wasted on horrible storytelling it took way too long to get to the point and when it did it felt unfinished, it is too long and too short at the same. It is a shame that most people won't have the patience to sit through it because although far fro perfect it's still very interesting.

This made me sob!

Such a heart touching story told in just one hour. Every thing about was perfect, the actors did an excellent job I could feel every emotion portrayed by the sisters, Haneul seemed genuinely concerned and hurt by her sister's condition, and I could feel the love in the father's eyes just wonderful. I cried hard throughout last few scenes.

The music suited every scene and Kim Yang provided just the right amount of humor to an otherwise devastating story without making a mockery of such a serious matter.

I highly recommend, it's one of if not the best of these specials in my humble opinion.

This is surprisingly good!!

I have to admit that I was skeptical about this one, I really didn't see the need for a second adaptation. I only tuned in half out of curiosity and half out of admiration for Satoh Takeru's acting.

I have read the webtoon and watched most of the Korean adaptation which was pretty good until they decided to add an absolutely unnecessary character that annoyed me so much that I had to quit.

But this one, I might say, having watched all 6 currently available episodes, is better than the source material! and I expect it to get even better for the upcoming episodes.

The acting is great, the dialogue, the scenery and the slight changes make the story feel fresh for someone who's experiencing it for the 3rd time. I've always said that for a hero to worth rooting for an great villain is needed and and this girl playing reina is doing so good so wonderful it's a pleasure to watch her beautiful face change from sweet to venomous my favorite version of the character no doubt about it, while Misa is too nice for her own good she's not as dumb as she looks a really good hero to rooting for. I am really loving the wholes cast. and while it's a bit odd that the cat is now a turtle, but, I'll allow it and I am excited to watch the rest of the episodes.

I just finished the series and I loved it!! I read the webtoon, I watched the Kdrama and this Japanese version is the best!! I didn't think it could be possible but Reina is far more unhinged than Soomin!! I loved every second of her she's the perfect villain!

Just give this show a chance if you haven't, it is so worth it.

This drama is infuriating!!!

I started this drama with little to no expectations. At first I found it funny and cute, the first episode was really entertaining, Very handsome leads great chemistry, but as I continued to watch it got draggy and boring too much of the same and nothing really going on.

I thought about dropping it but the dimples man, those dimples kept me hooked so I stuck with it, I was really curious about why they stopped being friends and then episode 7 happened.

I finally got interesting again it drew me in completely and when the fallaout came I got so mad! You're telling me these two morons haven't talked in 10 years because such a stupid misunderstanding?!!! uhggg I am so mad I might not even watch episode 8.

Don't waste your time with this one, seriously! It's a shame too because these two actors are excellent together, I hope to see them again in something actually worth watching.

I caved, the dimples, I needed to see those dimples again. The final episode is beautiful, perfect!! I loved every single scene. If only the writers could've come up with a better conflict and not drag things so much it would've been one of those that makes you come back and rewatch again and again but, as it is I sat through it once and never again, not even for those adorable dimples.

Not a good story but if you're like really bored and have nothing else to do, I suggest to watch episodes 1,7 and 8. you won't miss anything important you'll save yourself hours of nonsense, the misunderstanding is stupid, there's no way around it but it's so insignificant that it's resolved in less than two minutes and from then on it's just fluffy cutness and dimples.
