First of all, props to the whole cast! Not only Dongwook and Siwan, but the supporting as well, especially the other residents of the pansion. The drama was definitely a twisted one and it can surely play with your mind. I had seen one video, so I was slightly spoiled by it, but I still enjoyed the show. It was creepy for sure. We can never know what's going on inside a person's head and as it was mentioned in the drama, there's nothing scarier than humans and what they are capable of. Since I am a big BTS fan, I'm going to leave this quote here ~ "Gotta go insane to stay sane."
All things aside, I need to say this first. The title of the drama is Light on me and the LIGHT in the drama was definitely Namgoong! He stole the show and spotlight from everyone. That just proves that you don't have to be the main character or in his case the one romantically involved with the mains, to grab everyone's hearts. Apart from that, finally a decent attempt at BL from Korea. Their other series are a way too short and couldn't explore much. This drama is also far from perfect and flawless, the plot is also not something original, but it was still enjoyable and endearing. So yes... there's light in the Korean BL industry :D Yoo Seok also impressed me, but let's not forget that from pretty much all the cast members, he's the only one who's originally and actually an actor, but the others have a promising future as well. I have some reservations when it comes to Sae On, but let's say it was due to his character in the drama ~ A hopeful 7/10 for me ~
Until we learn to appreciate what we have and how little control we actually have over our lives, we'll need movies like this one. It had some very nice quotes and thoughts. The plot wasn't something that original, but I enjoyed the acting and the cinematography. A solid 7.5/10 for me.
I had only read comments about Song Kang's bad acting, but yeah... he really needs to work harder, a pretty face is not enough, he was very stiff and all I'll remember from him in the drama is his yelling. Other than that, quite a touching drama with a unique friendship and a nice message: keep dreaming, it's never too late. I really liked Deok Chul's family and Inhwan as an actor. I'm torn about how to score this drama, because it had some ups and downs, but overall... an 8 sounds good. :)
I expected something different from this drama. Maybe I felt like it was too long. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. Maybe it's because I watched Beyond Evil before this one, BE just blew me away. Seunggi's acting was exceptional though and there were some nice twists. Overall, 7/10 for me.
These two episodes were a waste of time. They showed barely anything new. The change in behaviour could've been shown in one special without so many scenes that we've already seen.
I get why some people didn't like the sequel, but I actually enjoyed it more than the first season. The series are just so... natural and filled with raw emotions. Love is not only smiles and happiness, there's also disappointment and pain. I loved the concept of losing connection to people as life goes on and they change. I'm sure we've all went through something like that in our late teens or early 20s, not only when it comes to romance, but friendships as well. Bill's acting really is superb, he has a bright future ahead of himself!
I didn't expect this drama to be such a tearjerker. It made me very emotional at times. The two male leads did an amazing job at portraying their characters! I had no idea trauma cleaner services existed, there's definitely none in my country. It's sad how little we know about each other and how we find out some things after someone dies, people really need to learn how to treasure what they have instead of only mourn after it when it's gone. I think this quote suits the drama: "Death is not the opposite of Life, but a part of it." - Haruki Murakami
I enjoyed the movie a lot! It was very heartwarming and the acting was great too. The world needs to pay more attention to the people with disabilities.
I have very mixed feelings about this drama. It was way over the top for me. It's not bad, but it's definitely overrated. They tried to make everyone and everything look too cool and the acting was on point, but the plot just didn't grab me. I feel like the drama was too long or maybe it just dragged too much in the first half. The supporting cast did a very good job and that's what made the drama a bit better. But it was still quite unrealistic, at least I'm glad Vincenzo stuck to his principles until the very end.
Most BL series have this problem: too little episodes, while here it was the other way around - there were too many episodes (some too long) and they didn't know what to fill them up with, that showed most clearly in the last episode. The first two episodes were too cringy and I barely went through them while the last two were too slow and there was too much drama as a whole, which was not needed. The way everything miraculously was fixed as if with a magic wand at the end was just a no-no for me. I don't want to be too negative, because the series weren't that bad, but there were just many elements, which lead to nothing and thus felt pointless. Aoey's crying scenes were difficult to watch. I don't know if it was bad acting or if it was on purpose. The couple had nice chemistry though and Kao totally had that 'in love' look. I'll give this a 6/10, I can't rate it any higher, but there was obviously much hard work to make the series good, so I do appreciate that.
Try seeing "long time no see"! Although I also didn't liked Color Rush that much but others are okay and "Long…
I have seen Long time no see and I wasn't impressed by it either. Color Rush had a very interesting theme, but the acting there was too forced. From all those short BLs. Where your eyes linger and To my star were far from great, but were still much more acceptable than the others.
I think I'll really stop watching these Korean BL short series. Personally, I think they are a waste of time. No solid plot or character developement, no growth or depth. I didn't want to let my hopes go up, but I really do like historical dramas and I thought this BL might be better than the previous ones, but nope.
The drama is rather slow-paced at times, but the characters are likeable and the show as a whole just gives good vibes. It was very realistic, it portrayed life quite well and showed how harsh it is. I have seen a few dramas with Hyojin and she's an amazing crier and a very good actress in general, but here she annoyed me at times, because of her whining. Haneul gave a mindblowing performance. Overall, a heartwarming drama, which I enjoyed. ps, is it weird that I realized who the Joker is right away? :D
Despite the ridiculous coincidences (because, come on... is the world really that small? xD), the drama was rather good. The chemistry between Joongi and Chaewon was amazing and even though I really enjoyed Joongi's acting in the drama, I still hope Shin Hakyun will win the Baeksang award for best male lead, because damn... his acting in Beyond Evil was superb. There were some predictable moments, but also some very nerve-wrecking ones. However, the last episode kind of ruined things for me... I also wish we had more information about what sparked the serial killings, though I can guess it has something to do with Hyunsoo's mother. A shaky 8/10 for me, but I definitely don't regret watching the drama.
The drama was better than I thought! Obviously, Hakyun is the real MVP in the series, because his acting was beyond amazing! He fooled me so many times and I honestly couldn't get enough fo him. What drove me to start the drama though, was not him, but the theme with a serial killer and Jingoo, whom I've been following for almost 10 years and what can I say... the baby really has grown up well! The OST was also wonderful and there were some very nice twists. There wasn't really much suspense in the last two episodes, but the show was still interesting until the very end. It wasn't boring although it was slow-paced and props to all the supporting cast as well. Also, the chemistry between Dongshik and Joowon was just wow! I hope the drama will win many awards and I'm glad it got so many nominations at the Baeksang Awards.
I think this quote from the drama sums it up quite well: "To catch a monster, you need to become a monster."
I enjoyed the series, but I still believe that the anime is better.
This was still a nice live adaptation though.
The drama was definitely a twisted one and it can surely play with your mind. I had seen one video, so I was slightly spoiled by it, but I still enjoyed the show. It was creepy for sure.
