25 To Life: On How Much Miscommunication Kills Mood
I blew through this series in one day, because I just needed to see how it ends. I was entertained the entirety of the show, albeit it frustrated the hell out of me with the two main characters lack of communication skills. However, the bouncing back and forth between the real love story and the series the characters are playing in was really interesting! I actually really liked how that played out. I just think we could've introduced more than just a side "love interest" into the mix. This series also made me think of a weaker version of 'My Beautiful Man', because this is also about a school love from afar turned into an unexpected love affair in present day. So I would say, watch this but watch MBM first! Also side-note, the score in this series was beautiful like holy damn.Was this review helpful to you?

Colour Rush Was Indeed A RUSH Of Emotions
First and foremost. This series better have a second season. They cannot in good faith be leaving us viewers like that without damn answers! How is this relationship going to work with the craziness settling in? Where's the mom? Because that's still very much a lot unresolved. Also we just started to get into an actual relationship, don't just end like this I know there's 2 more books!Now that that's out of the way, I loved this series. It could've went on for much MUCH longer but that's the drawback of these K-Drama Mini Series. They rope you in enough and then it's already over. This show in particular has so much good stuff going on in the plot that it would be impossible to resolve everything properly. We had the romance plot, mixed with triggered insanity due to the Mono/Probe situation, a missing mom and mysterious past of Yoo Han. So much potential and it definitely keeps you hooked the entire time. There's not a slow moment in this series.
I watched this with one of my friends and he agreed with me that this is one of the most sensual BL's we'd ever seen. Looks exchanged, literal stroking of walls and faces. The chemistry between the leads developed very nicely! I knew Hyun Jun from being in The Boyz and I'm so excited to see his acting career continue. He was so sassy and confident in this show I loved it! Also he's seriously so beautiful, like holy crap I was so happy they didn't keep the mask on him for a huge section of the show. Yoo Jun did a fantastic job as well in his leading role. There was a few times where I actually felt pain for him during the decolouring, it was heartbreaking. I actually wanted more from the sassy friends though, I needed more fan action!
So the "plot twist" of this show in the last episode was fantastic. I was shook and I don't want to spoil it because it's that good. It really answers a lot of questions as to why Yoo Han is the way he is with Yeon Woo (aka: kinda obsessed since the beginning), brings them closer together rightfully and I loved it. It added so much to his character and leads again to even more potential for a sequel season. Finally, I wanted to say the music was fantastic in this show. The soundtrack and the use of synth during the "coloring" scenes was well done. Also the use of colour and special effects was beautiful. It made me feel like I was seeing colours for the first time as well along with Yeon Woo! Who knew there were that many colours out there to actually see lol. Please watch this series. It is quite dark at times and I'm not sure if it will have a classic happy ending, but it's different and gripping to watch.

King Of Mask Singer Is the KING Of Reality Television
This show is always entertaining to watch! I love how full of talented people it is, everybody they bring on to perform has a lot to give! Not like the Western remake that brings awful performers on like Sarah Palin and Jojo Siwa, what the hell was that? Nah this original series is the way to watch, though the costumes could use some major updating in this. That's the only thing the Western remake has done better. However, the judges in the OG are far better in both comedic/banter timing and honesty. Like they don't 100% sugarcoat anything, if you suck at dancing they will tell you. There's a live band playing the songs so that's nice instead of just a track in the background like in the remake. It's also WAY faster paced than the remake, like holy crap we don't need 2 weeks worth of episodes to unmask 1 person! It's so annoying so thank goodness the OG isn't like that at all. Definitely a reality show to binge easily!Was this review helpful to you?
