The sweetest serial killers ever

This drama was really fun to watch though it may not has kept me on my toes as much as other dramas in this genre it had some pretty sweet moments as well as interesting twists.

I love the complexity of the relationships in this drama as well as how they manage to humanize some serial killers making me want to give them a big, big hug instead of dooming them to hell. This drama does a great job in showing how every little choice matters and how lack of responsibility as well as selfish acts though they may seem insignificant may just lead to a whole lot of chaos.

The acting here was flawless Bo Gummy did an amazing job playing a villain that may or may not be a villain so hats of to him!
Seo In Guk did a great job hopping between icicle and sweetheart and the child actors acting was extremely impressive. I would definitely say that the casting for this drama was well thought of. The side characters here where both well casted and had interesting personalities with very few annoying traits.

The couple in this drama is adorable but I felt that their romance did not get the attention it deserved which is one of the reasons for the score not being higher. Another reason i s the ending, since I do not want to spoil it I will just say that it was not to my taste but others may like it. I just found it confusing, and not in a good way (otherwise I do love getting confused). Thought the drama showed the complexity of relations and decisions it barely scratched the surface on the important issues it seemed to try to portray such as child abuse, corruption and bad parenting.


All in all definitely worth watching

Penguins fluffy and sweet once they love they love forever but the disease is not as fun

Forget all you know about C-fluff, it is just not there okay, the cold male lead is there and the whole chinese morals sip thru but while most C-dramas are colorful cotton candy fluff this drama is more of a beige road trip telling its viewers how to live... But the name is highly misleading.

Honestly I think I could have given this dram all from a 5 to a 10 star rating depending on when and what I was judging.

Good stuff that made this drama worth watching:
1. Portraying a terminally ill person as a competent person worthy of love and respect
2.Road trip, inspiring, fun and interesting realistic take on the idea of how to make it happen for those on a budget!
3. Fluffy dogs - these guys where just the sweetest ever
4. The vehicles
5. We need help to get by,..
6. It is not all fun and games being terminally ill
7. Great view
8, Not always predictable

Stuff that got on my nerves:
1. Never ever ending cycle of stranger danger becomes best friend in the end...
2. Characters that lack boundaries.
3. Some of their choices.
4. At times boring and repetitive plot

All in all worth a watch if you are looking for for something that feels real and want to see China and tibet traveled by small country roads.

Pride and prejudice? or maybe more pride and I'm scared sh**** to let any one close

This is a fun story about six friends who really, really. really need to learn how to communicate and let go of their insecurity and pride.

This drama tackles issues of poverty, divorce, as well as finding ones place in life with or without a partner bringing to light things that may effect a relationship that go way beyond the simple I love you or can I trust you? Is love enough or will we make each other miserable. Are we standing in the way of our loved ones happiness or can we find a way to be happy together? And can I really bring someone else in to my miserable life or is it better to set the person free? As well as whose choice is that to make? All can summed up in the balance between love, fear and self acceptance as a person worthy of love. We could also call this drama 1000 ways to f**** up a relationship.

This drama really has it all relationship wise, the deep bonds of long lasting friendship, the happily married, the divorced, the kind stalker, the emotionally scared , the dieng, the long term relationship and the just just starting out, the friendships to lovers and the love triangle. All with their separate issues. I loved the relationships in this drama as well as more or less every single character in this drama BUT I wanted to yell at them to make better choices over, and over, and over again... Honestly if this show would have ended at the 12th episode (with just a few adjustments) I would probably have given it a 9 or even a 10 but they just kept making these bad decisions that drove me nuts all the way to the end, and made me loose my previous love for some of the characters,

The photography here is gorgeous (yes I chose the word photography, and if you see it you will understand why), as well as the attention to details making me want to visit Sole, so all in all a pretty good drama worth a watch.

Worth both the hype and the headache and is pleasently confusing

I loveeeed the first 6 episodes, their pace, their twists the feeling of not knowing, the messing with my mind... they were truly pleasantly confusing then it just got very, very strange to get really good 8 episodes later and continued to be great with everything I like in this type of drama, exept for enogh romance but they never claimed to have any so I am not allowed to complain, just stating what was missing that is all.

This is a really cool, exhausting to watch drama, that I truly believe is worth both the hype and the headache But is one of those dramas you should take breaks from to both appreciate and cleans your mind from all the twists, mind games and horrifying scenes.

Some thoughts I had while watching where:

It feels like they are seriously trying to mess with my brain
I am pleasantly confused and I like it!
I'm watching episode 18 and the most illogical thing in this whole messed up twisted drama is how the h*** Moo Chi has not been fired I honestly can almost buy the insane twists but the job security for a cop in South Korea amazes me... but then again some cops in the US (and their countries) kill people and keep their jobs so maybe it's not as remarkable as I think it is...

So all in all this is a ride, a twisted, illogical mind messing ride with allot of guessing (mostly wrong), conspiracies and fun to

Emotional, fun, sweet, bitter love... and deffenetly easy to watch

Interesting take on regret, marrage and life...

When I started watching this drama I posted this on my feeds:

I am watching 18 again, and have now seen several dramas with the theme married couples have crisis, go back in time or age or something find out they actually love each other... I just want to tell you that there are couples who have been together for a long time thru hardships that actually communicate and keep on loving each other, and that there also are allot of couples out there who should get divorced. Some couples are good for each-other while others are not. I´m not saying couples should break up after every argument, just that divorce is actually a life savoir for many and really not a bad option. Divorce is one of the most important options we should have and is nothing to be ashamed of, it is the first step towards another chance at happiness. So here is to loving relationships! with whom ever they may be.

And don't forget it's better to be happy alone than unhappy together!

And after watching this I still agree with what I wrote, maybe not for the couple in the drama but overall that I wish to see that type of drama where they acnawladge devorce as a good option,

Anyway the young actors here where all brilliant, they where sweet, made lovely side storys and side love triangels. Every singel character in this drama experinaced allot of growth and it was deffenetly fun to watch. The most annoying and only annoying character in the whole drama was the ML as a grown upp, sorry even thogh this is a very well known and experinced actor his acting stood out as between bad to mehh at most. Specially compared to all the other cast and characters.

The story it self has good pacing, some good massages , some cringe and some humor too, I like the motehrs character beeing a teen mom to begin with I wish I would have seen this before writing my artecle about mothers, she would deffenetly have made the cut as a really good mom, chossing her children, caring yet still able to focus on herself too.

I like the way this drama tackels the issue of absent fathers as well as agisem, cyber bulling and hierarcis.

As mentioned earlier I have seen atleast three dramas with this theme, and I loved Familjar wife alittle bit more (Could be becouse of Han Ji Min) but not much more and loved this one more than Go back couple. The Male lead is deffenetlly the best in this one out of all three thogh.

All in all a fun drama to watch, It has all the makes to make you laugh, moist your ayes and feel familjer it even has a range of umbrellas and trucky of doom! Not bad huh! It also has cuite a few takes on the regular cliches and was both predictable and managed to suprize me once or twice.

Fluff and clichés with lots of twists and turns

This drama has practiclley eaverything I like in a k-drama (exept for importatnt issues and JHI but not all dramas can be perfect). we could easiely play troph bingo with this one, its filled with classic twists, clichés and scenes that make you go what th... and I want to slapp that person soo badly (Violance is bad, do not slap people) so I love it it, I love it, I love it. Yes I do!

The acting was pretty good, the chemestry between the leads was ok, not out standing but acceptable. Level of consent was mediocare... but never full on use of force...

The pace is great to begin with but does have a slow middele before escalating again.

The side caracters almost outshine some of the leads. Everey singel female character is well written and rocks! I love the female leads 2 bffs both haow different they are and just how they are, the advice they give, the friendship, the things they do their attitude towards life and death.... I actually love the the secound female lead beeing both the most bas ass character ever yes still shining a light on the dangers of crossingo over the line from love to obsession.

So all in all if you like fluff and clichés with twists this is deffenetly worth a watch, if you hate clichés step away and choose another drama,

Feels like an educational film but still sweet and steamy

I used to hold workshops for kindergarden teachers about how to act inclusive when greeting new parants, This drama reminded me of one of the discussionvideos we showed just that it had allot more kissing and some steamy scenens some more side storyes but it did have that feel to it.

The story is pretty cute, the famiy is lovely the side characters and chosen famili are just wonderfull and diverce. I truely belive this show is both entertaining, sweeet and educational. I assume that the budget was probably pretty low so I think you should take that in to concideration while watching. But I must say they are very lovable, they incorprate several important day to day issues, and it is very is short so deffenatly worth the time. I am actually even hoping for a secound season (not like me at all). It aso made me miss pride, especially now during this d*** pandamic it was nice to see streets filled with people enjoying pride while still showing awearness of the struggels the community still faces today.

All in all just watch it.

A sprinkel of cuteness over a harsh reality

While Jung Hae In sprinkels his charm over the screen and Han Ji Min lightens the mood with her humor this otherwise heavy and beautiful slow paced drama sheds a light on the difficulties of breaking loose from harmfull relationships while having to face societies prejudice as well as the importance of letting go and moving on. Oh and also shows some pretty good parenting advice.


This is the fourth K-drama I watched and like many others I watched it for the first time after watching something in the rain (the drama that made me completely fall in love with K-dramas).The creators of this drama are nothing shy of amazing with all from casting, to storytelling, pacing and visuals. If I have to complain about one thing it would be the choice of clothes for the leads (especially the first episodes, and the sock-less shoes) but they do fit their part so I cant even complain about that.

The casting for this drama is spot on, every singel character fits their part, the side storys enhance the theme of this drama beautifully and while some male characters make you loose all faith in men (and parents for that matter) others restore it so it evens out beautifully showing the difference between love and obsession/possession.

Jung Hae In does an amazing jobb showing a range of emotions where as his character is extremely calm, sweet and kind. He is forced to hold in his emotions most of the time and this is done beautifully. If you haven't fallen for this guy you defiantly will after you have seen this drama.

There is no doubt that Han Ji Mins character is this really cool librarian she is strong, independent and smart she finds it difficult to decide and break loose showing that even the strongest person will struggle in this situation.

The second male lead is also shown as complex, on the surface this really understanding and loving guy but beneath it a competitive, possessive, manipulative, prejudice ass something that shows you really cant tell.

So in conclusion this is a must watch, it may not always be an easy watch but a JHI smile and HJMs sweetness are never far away and will be there to comfort you.

Note! this is not an easy to watch drama, the pace is slow, you will not always understand or agree with the characters choices and if you make it threw the whole drama without getting frustrated and angry at at least one of the leads and the side characters at least once you may be the most calm person on earth.

P.s I really love the whole library and pharmacy setting and is just another one of those things that will make you fall in love even more with this drama.

Cotton candy meets 100 days my prince with a twist (or ten)

This was a cotton candy ride that seemed to fall in to a dark well only to be transformed in to a lollipop.

This starts off as a modern day 100 days my prince where the biggest difference is that the side characters are not as annoying and the that the male lead is a different actor who may do the same things as the prince but is so much more loving and kind. The female lead is not only the same actress but has many of the same traits but of course much much nicer. To be honest most of the characters in this drama are unbelievably nice. As the story progressed it did take several different turns fitting an historical drama yet made me forget about the 100 day prince and started reminding me of meow my secret boy, but without the maturity gap and with a totally different story-line.

Louie is really the sweetest little puppy, though he may be selfish at times he is extremely devoted and loving sometimes this turns to borderline stalking but in a more I miss you and want to be with you then a I shall own you kind of way... So I honestly wanted to adopt him.

Ko Bok Shi- Is as ind as kind can be, while being extremely strong and independent she is also extremely naive and devoted witch makes her a great match to the leads loving character.

The mothers in this drama are adorable and I truly wanted to join their gang and hug them all.

The downsides to this drama are that the humor is a bit low and in the beginning, the second male leads acting is terrible and by the end I found him extremely annoying. 7/10 turns where predictable and though the turns where as many as in a historical drama they where not that exiting. The story made me feel a wide range of emotions (+) but just not strong enough to break out in laughter or turn on the water works.

The ups are all the sweetness, the devotion, the caring and the trust between the leads. The character progression in more or less every singel character and just the way Louie interacts with the people around him. Oh and the friendships! Gotta love a drama with good friendships. And though this drama didn't keep me on my toes it was very easy to binge and made me happy and feel all fluffy inside. And well that is essentially all I really need in a romcom drama.

Sweet, stupid, fluffy...

As a regular C-drama watcher I came for the fluff, and indeed I got the fluff in abundance. This drama is packed with love confessions, missunderstandings and utter sweetness.

The male lead only kisses the female lead once in her sleep and only forces a kiss on her once. The rest of the time all kisses seem to be consentual and overall the male lead is very loving and a good boyfriend if you are willing to forget the forced kiss, she definitely dousent seem to mind it and kisses him back by the end of it.

I do however believe the titel "you are so stupid" fits this drama better, this since the female lead constantly falls in to her loverivals traps. The female lead is ofcorse overly nice to eaverybody and kills her rivals with kindness.

The second couple is midannoying, the female in the couple is smart but a total stalker, a forgiving stalker who thinks ahead but still a stalker.

But if you are like me in it for the fluff Its an okay drama to watch but please if your partner forces themselvs on you run for the hills, its not romantic.

Bloody but brilliant

Bloody, dark and very grose but really well written and executed psycolagickal drama.

The editing between bloody murder and takboki are beautifully done. As I'm more in to the story then the blood I had to forward the bloodsplatter.

The caracters are really well written, you will probably end upp hating everyone around him (with a few exceptions), and feel the erge to protect the protagonist from all the people around him or want to see them strangeld.

The psychological stuff kept me guessing and I foundmy self efforletlessly trying to make sence of what was going on thruout the series. The casting and acting where spot on. Lee Dong Wook is the ultimate psykopath, Siwan is soo sweet that you just want to hug him and the side caracters each have their role and do it well. "I only killed one cat".

I'm still not shure what actually happened, so I may have to digest this a bit longer. Yes this is completely insane so get ready for a ride.

Probably slow enough to meet ones past self

This is a slooooooooooooooooow paced drama that will make time stop... or at least it will fell like it stops at times, and I am pretty sure that is exactly what they are aiming for a drama that is there to slow down your pace and just let you enjoy the scenery. An invite to the great outdoors.... Country living without to much drama.

Had I been the type who enjoyed healing, slooooow stuff and whatever they where doing here this would have gotten a higher score unfortunately I am more the type who gets nauseous from that stuff. So clearly I am not the target audience for this, and should probably have run away at firs live your life... breath, carpe diem...

HOWEVER!

80% of the characters in this are not only human, but are actually pretty lovable humans who make great connections, friendships and have this lovable familiar feel to them that you find yourself wanting in on whatever they have together. The elderly in this village are pure gold, and the kids are fun to watch too. There are some annoying characters who show up here and there but they are manageable/skippable.

The male lead does not force himself on the fl even once.. I do not think he even attempted a wrist grab nor did he shove her up against a wall... I guess he is a true prince on a white horse? Though she makes it clear that she can ride the horse herself. The leads are both smart, have amazing chemistry both as friends and lovers. There is this lovely playfulness to the two of them, though the process is painfully slow the two actually stay true to their characters even after they get together unlike some similar dramas (I am looking at you Hometown ch cha cha) where the leads seem to loose all brain power once they acknowledge their feelings for each other. So I love these two and am willing to say that they are one of the best main couples in all of C-dramaland.

The cinematography is gorgeous, the OST is waay to repetitive and while some of the songs are pretty decent, romantic, slow the type you would hear at a wedding. There is one song that I found myself muting for its lovely combination lullaby and traditional children's nursery song...

The way the drama approaches divorce, second chances , age gaps and facing ones fears is pretty ok, a bit preachy at times but relatively ok. I am also pretty sure that if it weren't for this being a C we would definitely have a lesbian second couple, the twos chemistry is even better than the leads chemistry.

All in all a sloooooow drama, with some good, some meeh and a whole lot of lovable characters.

Everybody Loves Misaki

This is a story about a teacher who is so pretty and kind that most humans (no matter what gender or sexual preference) seem to fall in love with her at first sight, she is also cool, kind the type who makes the people around her shine... And is probably one of the most human female leads in all of dramaland. Yes she has flaws, and goes though a bunch of stuff but there is just something about Misaki that wins over both the people in the drama as well as those watching it.

Even though Misaki is loved by all, she has this tiny little issue of being stuck in a society that has taught her to value monogamy above all , and well that puts her in a kind of painful and awkward situation when her husband decides to break it to her that his love for her is more of the platonic type (one could have guessed that a sexless marriage kind of may have that issue). But hope is the last thing to leave the wed woman... and well as long as there is love... However hubby is not really good at actually using words to communicate and rather likes to show her with actions instead... which is kind of being a total ****** ***** but then again it is hard to blame the dude as he indeed is a product of a heteronormative society...

Hubbys boyfriend on the other hand may be a tad oblivious to the society he lives in, but is just the cutest boy ever....

There are also a bunch of nice friendships, alcohol drinking, food and flirting... as I said there is something about that Misaki that makes everybody fall for, and well that is a pleasure to watch.

I also enjoyed the take this drama has on divorce.

Definitely a decent 10 episode binge. It may not make your heart flutter but it will make you think about stuff...

Cute and awkward

This is a really sweet drama about making friends and finding oneself while making a whole lot of mistakes with a pretty interesting love triangle keeping us wondering yet without to much anxiety (for me).

This drama is really sweet, not only plot wise but the whole set is color coded till it almost becomes absurdly obvious but sweet from the books in the library to the walls and umbrellas and even flowers all match in some way or another and I loved it!

The drama deals with internalised homophobia, admitting ones own feelings, jealousy, leaving your comfort zone as well as opens up the discussion about true kindness and bravery. All done with humour and cuteness, did I mention the drama is really sweet.

The main lead is just the most awkward sweety that keeps on handing out sweet sweet moments. The gun outside the triangle is the king of support as well as well fitted one liners, and the other two leads are each others complete opposites giving us both out beloved icicle and cup of hot chocolate moments mixing several beloved tropes in to this sweet, sweet drama.... okay I am going to stop writing sweet but if you are looking for something sweet, this is definitely worth watching.

At a distance spring is sweet and tough

This is a really sweet drama that combines allot of sweet and fluff with some pretty deep and sereus issues as well as teach us that boys do cry.

The OST in this drama complements it perfectly adding to the sweet fluffy tone but I can not help but wonder if the fluff gets the best of this drama only letting the important issues touch te surface without actually getting in to them. To be honest I can't decide if it is both good or bad to do so since acnowledging these issues without letting them take over could actually be a step forward towards breaking the silance and just showing that they are just one part of a persons life but not all of it.

The main couple is sweeter than cotton candy but the chemistry between the bromance is way more interesting than the romance.

The characters development in this drama is great and though some actions made me mad I did enjoy the friendships and the dynamics in the group yet still felt that something is missing.

All in all worth your time but not a masterpiece.
