BEST MYSTERY SHOW!
I am scif-fi geek and a sucker for mystery genre. So, of course I loved Midnight Museum.I understand that many people didn't get many of the scenes and story(me included), but that's the fun! I love to interpret on my own because that leads to endless possibilities.
Tor and Gun had an intense chemistry. Call it whatever you want but I will call it love. Let me be delusional...
The rest of the main cast also did well...
Please give it a go - I can guarantee your jaw will drop in shock in every episode.

THE INCURABLE LOVE WE ALL DESIRE
I had never been a big fan of J-dramas and I had been putting off this for a while. Decided to give it a go and I absolutely loved the show. I am seeing the cast for the first time, I haven't seen any of their works before. Initially, I didn't like any of the leads but gradually I liked them. Especially Satoh Takeru has got a beautiful smile. Pity that his smile was shown more only in the finale episode.Nanase's character wasn't bland. But, I do feel its unrealistic about the plot: falling in love with a stranger within seconds and making him as a goal of your life. The idea might be dreamy but it was a bit hopeful; it made me believe in love and fate. A girl finally achieving her goal of marrying her first love and even having a successful career which enables her to work alongside her lover...didn't think I will like such a cheesy plot.
However, I couldn't bring myself to root for any of the side couples. The last couple of episodes were so good. I was laughing and blushing throughout episode 10 that my mother seriously considered sending me to an asylum. The OST is good and its music is often used as background score during dramatic scenes. Overall, a fine show!

DREAMS AND LAW!
I am a sucker for shows that has mystery/thriller vibes and this show is a perfect blend of both. I absolutely loved this show.Plot: A news reporter is on a career break as she believes she will die on her duty in future. This is because her dreams become a reality. She meets a prosecutor who saves her life from a car accident - something that she had dreamed before. She had tried changing the reality but she couldn't. The prosecutor is the one who proved that the reality can be changed. He saved the reporter because he dreamed about her and the cop who gets killed in the car accident. Now, the news reporter, the prosecutor and the cop dream about each other's future events. All their future events are tied up with their professions and they help each other, while dealing with an evil attorney.
Cast: Not only the main leads, I also liked all the side characters except the evil ones. My favorite was Jaechan's brother, Daegu and Mr. Choi. We have all seen Mr. Choi as the villain in SWDBS but here he was just an exceptional hero for me. And throughout the show, I found myself more attracted to Jang Hae In than Lee Jong Suk...and even an unshaved Jang Hae In was too hot.
What I liked: Unlike other shows, where sub-plots are often created with new characters that the main leads are not quite acquainted, here we could see the sub-plots based on the people around the main characters. Eg. the reporter dreams about the barista from where she orders the coffee and the prosecutor dreams about the barista and the reporter being attacked. I love how they tied the stories neatly, inter-weaving them with perfection. My favorite scenes would be the robotic vacuum cleaner scene and Wootak's secret reveal idea by Hongjoo. The final episode had me drowning in tears. The cases were perfectly trialed in the courts and I loved every aspect of the cases. Imo, Yoobum could have been redeemed at a young age but matters got of hand and he turned out to be a devil. And I loved the bickering between Jaechan and his brother. Jang Hae In wasn't actively pursuing the love of the female lead despite being a second lead and that just adds more beauty to the show.
OST: That dramatic music score whenever something big happens - that was fantastic. Goosebumps!
Overall: 9/10. I will again watch it in future.

THE BEST TWILIGHT EVER!
I don't usually write reviews unless what I watched turns out be an art of masterpiece that drags my lazy ass to write a review on it. Where do I even begin? (Because I am crying this series has ended...)Let's talk about P'Aof, the director. I know he is exceptional and always gives us masterpieces...but he went too far...I am sure he can't create a better masterpiece than Last Twilight. Because LT has reached such lengths and has set the bars so higher that's its currently somewhere in the stratosphere...P'AOF, THE DIRECTOR YOU ARE...
JimmySea served us with their amazing acting and insane chemistry with Vice Versa. I had no doubts about their acting, but Sea as Day outdid his acting performance. Its not easy to act as a blind person when you can clearly see. And also those micro-expressions he makes...I want Jimmy and Sea to win best actor awards and P'Aof as best director now. You can't turn a blind eye to such a marvelous work.
Mark and Namtan were the best pair I ever imagined. GMMTV should give them a new series because their chemistry is chemistrying...I wouldn't mind a spin-off with them along with some scenes of DayMohk.
I wish all those BL haters and non-BL people see this work. That way they will realize LOVE IS LOVE and how beautiful the journey of DayMohk's love was.
Overall: 100/10. I will come again and again because this show makes want to believe in hope, love and life.

ONE OF THE BEST MYSTERY CRIME THRILLER SHOW!
I had always been a big fan of whodunit and detective shows. I am so glad that I gave it a try and I hope more people watch this masterpiece. The show started with a dead woman in her condo at Horizon Tower, who is possibly murdered. Each suspect were given screen-time of two episodes, in which they were interrogated by the main leads who are detectives. The last couple of episodes were dedicated to the POV of the victim herself. All of the suspects stated their alibi to prove their innocence in the case. At the same time, we get to deep dive into the victim's life...which helps us to form our own judgement against the suspects and the victim. Ep. 8 was very traumatizing. In fact, every episode made me cry and the storytelling was in such a way that you would start pitying some characters. This drama also talks about some dark topics like sexual abuse, child abuse, domestic abuse, mental health issues and so on. In the end, everything was tied perfectly. Though I would have liked to see the culprit suffer more for everything that was done by them. Each character had their own flaws and shortcomings, their own story that they want to project to society and their own dark secrets...which makes them very realistic and relatable.The piano score was the best in this show, which started just in the first five minutes of the first episode. All the background scores were pretty good, with a hint of dramatic note in them. The English OST was also perfect.Every actor/actress did a solid acting job. I had never seen Angelababy's performance before and I was astonished by how well she played the victim role. Amazing cast and outstanding performance.PLEASE WATCH THIS DRAMA, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. YOU WILL BE MISSING A MASTERPIECE IF YOU DON'T WATCH IT!Was this review helpful to you?
