Just stick to your smartphone...

It started off as a beautifully friendship... the type that goes beyond time and space... you know that type of friendship that may just change the future type of deal, bringing people back from the dead and all... Cute, sweet and all fluffy... with gummy bears, pastels as far as the eye can see .beautiful scenery and a dysfunctional family or two... if you overlook the locking people up and performing an exorcism or three...

Had it not been a horror movie one would almost think it was as cute as cute can be... However this is a Thriller, Mystery, Horror, Schi fi... and boy does it live up to its name with gore. blood, suspense teaching us all never ever to take a call from the past... heck just stay away from all forms of old communication.

Things that did bother me: the killer portrayed as mentally ill... other then that it was really well made and had a decent plot. And though there may not be an appa as far as the eyes can see this movie proves once and for all that you can enjoy Korean content without them.

Depressing and messy

I am honestly trying to grasp what I actually watched, I do not really know what I was expecting and am not really sure what I got as the story seems a bit oddly cut and left a whole lot of blanks for the viewers to fill in on their own and they go back and fourth in time have and have a lot of quiet thought. Honestly rather they are deep in conversation or completely silent... though the issues are relatable I find it hard to connect to the story, the acting is inconsistent, sometimes it is mind-blowing other times I am not sure if it is the dialog, the sound or the action but it feels forced in a way and comes of very unnatural.

The whole movie loses depression and darkness as it should considering it's subject, there're some good and interesting lines about who to blame in the event of a sueside others about dealing with an inevitable death near by... Unfortunately these were cut short and could have been done better, but they do get points for actually showing this and attempting to approach this not so very happy subject.

All in all an ok watch, not very entertaining and kind of lacking but it has something in it that still makes it worth a watch, I just can not really put my finger on what it is, maybe you will? O r I may just have to watch it again to understand it. However it was not very entertaining so I probably won't (actually I did re-watch a few scenes just to check if I missed something, I didn't)

Sweet and Dark

This is a good movie, both quality. story and entertainment wise... Slightly painful to watch this movie takes us on a journey of hardship and romance with a fluffy dog to ease the pain...

What Liked more...
Great acting, good story, cute dog+ lovable mains, no annoying characters, people with disabilities portrayed as human beings worthy of love and not just a walking inspirational story... Complex mains with lots of character development, chemistry between the leads... Good balance of sweet and dark scenes.The way it incorporated issues facing woman and people with disabilities without it taking over the main focus but rather added and acted as an accelerator for it. The very human non super human the mains are.

What I liked less...
Somewhat predictable twists, though I did not know what was going to go happen at one point it was very clear that X was going to happen at a certain point in time, just not exactly how it would happen.

I did not cry but I can see where many people would cry while watching this movie and is certainly a movie worth watching!

Kid's do not do stupid s***, also there will not be a Dimond, so do not look for it.

To be honest this started off a bit boring and is one of those movies that seems to spoil itself... it was not really that the pace was slow or anything wrong with the start it was just kind of cliche with the slight difference that the lead was not very lovable which I kind of liked...

"That boy is going to make something of himself" did however not age well unless death row is making something of ones self... which it kind of is, so maybe I will take this back and just say... pay attention to those words... and think about what they can do to a person...

However as the story goes on it does get more and more interesting and actually does manage to bring a tear or two to my eye, even if it has highly predictable twists, they are done pretty well. With quite a few touching scenes it also shows complicated family ties and the difference between the friendships that build you and those who destroy you...

I guess the lessons here are pretty ok...

The scenery is pretty, the acting is good the OST is just full of violins... and not much more.

However this feels real in a way many similar movies and dramas do not...

Definitely a movie worth watching if you just get passed that first not so mind-blowing half...

Hot and Spicey Cotton Candy...

This drama is like just like I view Park Bo Young so sweet, spicy, cute, sweet, cute, fun,...

Bong Soon is the ultimate Hot and Spicy Cotton Candy. and this is one of my all time favorite dramas. who happens to have the scene that inspired my username. to be honest some of the humor is a bit low, there are some scenes that on their own may be questionable but if you try to look at this dram as a whole you may just find it quite progressive and that the humor you may have found slightly questionable at times when put in to the context of the whole drama is actually not that bad and does get addressed in one way or another depending on what you look at, and how you understand it...

Sorry If I sound vague and complicate things but once you watch it,you may understand what I am trying to say..

What I love about this drama is the chemistry between the leads and the way this couple interacts and shows respect towards each other giving us some of Dramalands sweetest scenes. I also love the many, many contrasts shown in this drama, soft hard, sweet strong, funny-serious issue... The fighting scenes here are just so cute and bad ass at the same time. And I love how they show how society's norm restrict women from showing strength but also how the many, many men in this drama are portrayed differently making way for both macho, evil, vulnerable, understanding and kind..

I love this drama so much that few articles feel complete without it... It may not actually be that great if looked upon with an objective eye To be honest there are some scenes that are ok to skip and should probably lesson the score but those two leads make up for every one of those scenes making this a dram I would gladly rate higher if I could, yest the main couple is just that adorable...And it just makes me feel all fuzzy inside (even though it has some pretty dark scenes)... Making it one of the most memorable dramas in Dreamland and the second most popular k-drama for a reason, if you ask me it is a lot more entertaining them the number one drama...

So if you by chance have not watched it yet then just go for it... And if you have already seen it why not watch it again?

Fun, fluffy, film...

This movie is a pretty ok, nothing special really, but it has some pretty good stories, that I wish would have gotten a movie each instead of had to share it...

The different couples in this movie show different sides of life and have almost nothing in common, yet do share several connections (other than geography).

Most of the characters in this movie are relatable, sweet, fun and lovable... Some slightly annoying and we there are some pretty evil ones too... but they are just a small part of the whole.

We have one couple that shows us both the less beutiful and more beautiful side of divorce and domestic abuse.

Another one who teach us the value of communication and sharing ones troubles with ones spouse

A third Showing the pain of burn out and trying to find ones way back...

But my favorite couple was the one with the paralympics athlete who is treated as a disability there to inspire and sell emotional porn that focuses more on the girlfriend than his achievements...

Making this a pretty fluffy dare I say healing movie (even though I hate that word) worth a watch

A colorful and beautiful way to say goodbye

This drama is both sweet, colorful, fluffy, painful, odd and aggravating and well kind of off at times. What I love about this drama is how they portray the person behind the illness as a competent human being, with desires, ambitions, interest and a lot of love to give. Though he may be a little but to positive while facing death he is a pretty fun guy and a great male lead with chemistry out of this world with the female lead doing the whole enemies, to friends to lovers right!

I also love how they take this pretty painful subject of fighting a disease and make it fluffy, sweet and colorful rom-com with a ll a romcom can entail... just a side of waiting for death...

However as a person who has experienced waiting for a heart I can say that the details seem very off... and yes they do bother me at times, but for those who have never been there I am sure you will be fine... I am not either a fan of the many religious connotations in the drama (It got to be to much). The drama also shows the economical aspect to necessary treatment, it almost felt absurd how they kept talking about the cost of heart transplant... " are you sure you can afford it" but the truth is many people can not afford much needed treatment and in loss of better words it sucks big time...

The saying good bye part is brilliant, fluffy and sweet, not very realistic but oooh so sweet!

This drama really has a little bit of everything with mostly lovable characters, no annoying characters (bu some aggravating in the right way) and had me feeling a lot of emotions in 8 short episodes. Just be where of the religious stuff...

Colorful mix of rom com and dementia

This may have started off as a colourful disney type of hate to love typical rom com... The one that has a dash of sound of music just that instead of a nanny for the kids there is a need for a caregiver for the grandma with dementia... Rich slightly mean icicle gets his heart melted by poor beautiful caregiver... with dance, music and candles...

But then it dove in to full on deep, deep drama... still colorful but with a lot of drama that became more and more complicated as the story went on, nothing groundbreaking or brilliant but entertaining enough and easy to binge.

The female lead is such a burst of polka dot color, sweeter than sweet, kinder than kind, smart, forward ambitious...
The side characters are lovely (acting skills verie) but most o them are sweet, fun and show 0 signs of being overly anything.

So this may not be a masterpiece but it is easy to watch and well that should do it...

Robots have feelings too, and bad taste in men...

This is just s little short yet intense dose of oddness... To be honest it has a little bit of everything. Sweet teen friendship, complicated family ties, a dash of conspiracies with murder sprinkled on top and probably one of the highest ratio time and plot twists out there.

The girls here rock, they are complex, fun, good actresses and well their screen time is what makes this show watchable.

The male lead on the other hand is annoying, slightly selfish, childish and just a snooze fest and in need of a lesson in constructive ways to deal with ones emotions. He did however have a lovely name Cha Eun Woo.... so tip, if you do watch this just imagine him as CEW...

White skirts as a school uniform, must be the most impractical clothing out there, so it does not make sense to me... But they do look pretty in white I will give you that.

The acting was bad to mediocre to good (THe FL)

All in all nothing I recommend, but will check out the female lead she rocked!

Sweet n spicy Ice cream

This was my kind of feel light and fluffy chilly ice cream drama with lots of feel good... but not without its chilli flakes to spice it up here and there.

The drama has a good pace, nice mix of friendship, working hard to achieve ones goals, conflicts and romance... There is however a light lack of umbrellas that stand out, but makes up for it with its ridiculous use of red product placed bags... Since I had just finished writing an article on the subject those bags cracked me up a lot!

I loved to see how they handled popular drama cliches, as well as kept me on my toes with both predictable and less predictable pace... I also loved the dynamics between the mane couple with bickering, growthe, and what may have started as a not so healthy relationship develop in to mutual respect and understanding. With lots of cringey, gooey fun scenes that just made me smile over and over again.

I also love how they used colors and clothing. It has a lot of great hoodies, you may want to try to count them all , but don´t you may miss something.

The amount of annoying characters was kept to a minimum and even the roles with least amount of time on screen got to show both strengths and weaknesses.

I did not like the work thru pain theme to it, it can be dangerous and is a bad message in my personal opinion... However the drama compensates with a good message of team spirit and working together that I really like, but can make some cringe, so this is for those who like cliches, like cringe, matching outfits and fluff and do not mind some hardship in between!

Also the Skating scenes are truly amazing!!!

Very gray and slightly depressing

This movie is most certainly not a feel good type of thing, but it was the perfect little break form happy fluffy stuff I needed. To be honest it was a bit slow so the entertainment value is not very high but the story itself is pretty interesting, showing a slightly different side to having a spouse badly injured in an accident... When finding out the spouse is injured is followed by, was having an affair and may or may not have been the driver of the car that was responsible for the accident and killed someone... And well this movie does a great job showing the different thoughts and stages the spouses left behind to take care of the mess their cheating "##¤#¤%% of spouse left for them to handle...

" At firs I wished I could take her place" this sentence was never finished but we all know he probably changed his mind on that one..,,

The mild sexual content was tasteful and beautifully filmed, as well as was there for a purpose not just for thirsty eyes.

All in all a pretty okay movie, even if it was slightly depressing at times.

Enjoyable for us who know nothing about BlackPink...

This was really sweet, well made, well balanced and entertaining to watch.

I am not the type to know anything about music let alone groups and had honestly mostly heard about BlackPink on feeds and about Jisoo as the costar in snowdrop... so I am what you may call a complete unbiased nub to this, and yes I really enjoyed this documentary.

The girls are adorable, they are extremely different and as they say complement each other well, we get a very short glimpse in to the girls personal life, just enough to understand where they are coming from but not to much to feel burdened with unnecessary or uncomfortable personal stuff.., they show both the hard work behind the scenes as well as the rewards from them. The importance of personal space as well as helping each other out and it is just lovely,

I think I go a slight crush on Rosé I love her voice, her talent as well as what we got to see of her introverted personality and she is now my favorite and I want to hear more of her, has she gone solo?

Jenny had this great granny personality and Jisoo seemed cool but was the one we got to know the least and Lisa was just this cute energy pill that bursted up the screen.

All in all definitely fun to watch and a documentary I recommend to all who do not hate pop.

A much needed correction for most of the things that bothered me in the first season

When I started watching this season I wrote: ", May they stop hazing and start being cute together... or deal with other stuff... that works too...

And well that was more or less what i got, the hazing took much last place and went from being about controlling the juniors to sharing experience with the juniors, though they did not seem to leave some guy alone this felt much better than the first season.

The relationship between the two leads got of to a really good start but having to much harmoney does tend to get boring so of course we did need to get some drama, but did not get to much drama, the series did kind of have a slow start but actually got better with time and did address some interesting issues and clashes between Kongpob is slightly clingy open and outgoing personality and Arthits more secretive closed off personality, who just closes himself in whenever faced with something he does not know how to deal with, combined with the fact that Kongpob does not seem to respect Arthits boundaries or need of space at all . Made me frustrated and angry (in a good way) at both of them, wishing they could communicate batter. They also show some of the struggles for being new in a work place with the added pressure of "do you have a girlfriend" and coming out/not wanting to come out in the work, or even show affection towards ones long term partner at work, or even at home.

I won´t say it ha a lot of cuteness in the series itself, those where more reserved for the extra scene in the end of each episode,
so try not to miss those. The side couples feel a tad unnecessary but are cute on their own slightly rushed way, giving the feel that viewers would need to see the characters coupled up for the show to feel complete.

The drama did have both emotional, funny and suspenseful scenes all things that I appreciate while watching a show and was most certainly highly bingeable, the red umbrella seems is also there to enhance a feeling and warn for trouble ahead, or at least give us the feel of trouble ahead. Also the product placement of head and shoulders did make way for several lovely, bubbly (literally) innocent shower scenes for those who like those.

All in all definitely worth a watch, and honestly even if season one will give you more context, you can probably skip it and go straight for season two it is much better,

All the cliches and regular struggles with a twist of superpowers

This drama has a little bit of everything I like in a drama, cold male CEO with a power trip and amnesia giving us the chance to see him though his frozen heart over and over again... It has a cute AI robopet that is slightly evil while being just cuter than cute and a female lead that is brave, cool, and not ashamed to show lust... ok she is an alien and no it is not okay to objectify men but considering the norm for c-dramas is horny slightly aggressive men (which we did get here too) and women who are not allowed to show the slight interest in the male body it was refreshing to see a female drule... The drmaa has the regular cliches, with an eviler than evil scheming step mom, an oblivious father, lies, deception, an eviler than evil obsessed second female lead, power struggles and a sweeter than sweet slightly oblivious second male lead...

The characters are pretty okay written not too annoying but will definitely arouse ones inner anger and frustration for those of us in to that stuff this is a pretty decent watch, but not as special as the alien touch to this trope would entail...

The creators of this dram a are most definitely masters of matching not only outfits but the environment and blood too! Not bad huh! However I was slightly disappointed by lack of umbrellas and people flying in the air the cover made way for.

All in all an easy to binge, fun watch but nothing out of the ordinary.

Not as bad or good as the other reviews make it to be...

This season is pretty much what one can expect of a second season where the couples relationship has some pretty big trust issues and built on some kind of foundation of if you love someone you must own them... So seven years on it is pretty impressive to see that they where actually still together and kind of sweet and loving. Had it just kept to the sweet and loving the whole 12 episodes viewers may have ended up satisfied with their ship but we would not really have much of a plot now would we... Judging by many peoples reactions we did however get a whole bunch of disappointed fans .

In the beginning of the season I found myself wondering if the writer and actors where payed by the kiss/sex scene bordering on light porn while Type seemed to have matured and have gotten a slightly lower sexdrive Tharns labito was deffenetly still going strong but he no longer needed to use force to get what he wanted... And well both seem to be a bit overly dependent on/ obsessed with each other while lacking the oh so important trust, one may expect from a healthy relationship after 7 years of love... but they especially Type has gone thru some pretty good transformation ill give him that.

The dramatic parts are a bit milder yet recognisable from part one and the show does actually have a few good and important messages along side the odd and not so very healthy relationship advice it seems to convey. The drama also seems to give alcohol a lot more credit than it deserves... Some parts of the plot are repetitive, poorly executed and annoying lowering the entertainment value for this show. But I did learn a little but about buddhist culture that I previously had no clue what so ever about.

All in all an okay second season worth watching, but not much more.
