Interesting

The series started quite innocently, and since I hadn't watched 'My ID is Gangnam Beauty', I have no comparison. The action unfolds quite quickly, but it wasn't bothersome.

At first, I thought it would be a typical romantic series, like most GMMTV romances, with some dramatic elements. However, I was really surprised by the end. The return to the initial themes of the series was a big plus, and many things were unexpected but didn't feel random. Everything was understandable, which is a big plus.

In my opinion, there were some minor flaws due to the fast-paced action, but overall, it was very enjoyable to watch. I recommend it.

so funny

"Ready Set Love" was quite a unique experience for me, mainly because it reminded me a bit of Squid Game - but not as brutal. Just like in that series, it was based on a game show concept, which sparked a lot of interest.

Honestly, the first two episodes weren't as engaging for me, but I didn't give up because of the intriguing game concept. And I'm glad I didn't, it was really worth it! I got hooked in the third episode, eagerly anticipating the next one.

The main couple in the series was somewhat "obvious" and "typical." They knew each other since childhood, went through something sad, and now live happily ever after, as in most dramas. However, it wasn't all bad because I found myself drawn to the supporting characters. I especially focused on Paper's story, who, in my opinion, was the most interesting character. He was constantly discovering himself, making friends, and was incredibly charming.

The crime subplot was very well done because I didn't expect such a serious situation after seeing how comedic the first episodes were. Day's expressions were really funny, but I needed to get used to the quirkiness of this series.

Overall, I rate it very well because I had a lot of emotions in the last episode. The series sucked me in, so despite some cringe moments, I still really enjoyed it.

emotional torture

The movie was something that, at first glance, doesn’t seem to be very interesting or engaging. Everything progresses rather slowly. it’s not an action movie, and the story mainly focuses on two people. However, the plot, acting, and cinematography were so outstanding that watching it was captivating right from the start.

I watched the film primarily because of Billkin, and he met my expectations. The acting was incredible, from both Billkin and the rest of the cast. The film made me develop an attachment to both characters, even though at the beginning, I didn’t feel any empathy for either the grandmother or Billkin.

By the middle, I realized it was an emotional torture. From that point on, my tears kept flowing non-stop until the very end, and as someone very emotional, I’m still processing the film, even though I watched it yesterday.

The film kept forcing tears out of me, and every scene was more and more heartbreaking with each passing minute. At some point, I just felt so tortured that I wanted to turn it off. It was too much for me.

Despite this, "How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies" deserves a very high rating. The cinematography is wonderful, everything is beautiful, and the exceptional acting moves our emotions. The plot is sad, but also very true to life.

„Is it worth lying for good intentions?”

At first, I wasn't too keen on "Analog Squad," mainly because it's a sentimental series set in 1999, which made me think it would be boring. However, the first episode made a huge impression on me, and I fell in love with it right away.

First of all, the acting. I didn't know Primmy (Bung) before, so it was my first time seeing her on screen. Her charisma in the first episode made a huge impression on me. Jaylerr (Keg), who is very well known (and a very good actor), also did a fantastic job. His acting never disappoints, considering he's an ex-Nadao actor. The rest of the cast also expressed their emotions very well through their acting, which I really love.

The story is a real tearjerker, but in a good way. It's more about tears of emotion, happiness, and understanding. We get a story about how people, despite not knowing each other before, can create a loving family. The characters, who have family problems but are also good people, evoke huge emotions in the viewer. All the storylines are well concluded, leaving no loose ends, which I really appreciate.

Each character has a very different personality, which is very interesting. They pursue what they want, and there are no unexpected changes in the series. Each character has their own shocking, sad family story. As viewers, we can also ponder the question, "Is it worth lying for good intentions?" It seems to me that this was the main theme of the series. Each character experienced a completely different story but with the same theme, which is very interesting and moving.

Overall, I rate it very highly. I was moved most of the time and was never disappointed.

This review may contain spoilers

the orchestra does the greatest job

WITHOUT SPOILERS

first of all, the story moves quite slowly, but it keeps you in suspense and gives you time to understand the entire plot. I can't imagine the story moving faster, because then I would probably have problems analyzing it. There were really many different threads. I was very moved, and I even understand some of the issues from my own experiences. The topic of stalking, serious illness, family conflicts and others. Everything can be found here.

Music is something that has caused me the greatest emotions from the very beginning. A real orchestra and a repeating melody that will forever remind me of IFWT - amazing! The acting is also very good, the actors' emotions were also connected with mine.

There is no thread lost in this series - everything is explained from beginning to end ( including the judgments, which are described in detail). Highly recommend!

SPOILERS ALERT

I'm very disappointed with Vegas' behavior. If it weren't for the fact that he was hiding the disc with the murder evidence, everything might have turned out differently. Despite everything, his emotions were understandable. I really liked that the relationship between him and Meimei improved a lot.

I'm happy that Chi's mother recovered and Chi has a good relationship with her grandmother and Pete! So beautiful. The ending with Yi and the entire Phatson family was also wonderful, but I regret that there was no conversation between Meimei and Toey - their story was interesting and unexpected from the very beginning. Btw Toey is a very good figure for psychoanalysis!

Thank you for reading my first review :)

interesting experience

The Believers" is exceptional and original; at least I've never seen anything quite like it. The acting is incredibly good, particularly James's expressions, which gave me goosebumps.

As someone who has hardly ever encountered Buddhism, I feel like I've truly understood and learned a lot. The beautiful Buddhist teachings that appear in the episodes were genuinely interesting, and I feel like I've learned a great deal after watching. It sparked various thoughts about life in me, and I feel a genuine desire to listen to Buddhist teachings.

I was also moved by the very emotional storyline of the monk who never knew life outside the monastery. His relationship with Dear and how genuinely good and honest he was truly touched my heart.

However, I started watching the series mainly because of James, whom I greatly admire as an actor. And I wasn't disappointed. His acting truly captivated me, and I believe he was the perfect person for this role.

Win was the most enigmatic character. We don't know why he is the way he is, we don't know if he is sick or stressed, but the ending still explains a lot, despite being open-ended.

The whole series makes sense; every storyline is explained, and the plot twist is very interesting. Each character has a distinct personality, which is a huge plus. "The Believers" also shows the reality of what is happening in the world today. I highly recommend it - it's an interesting experience for everyone, even though not much happens in the first few episodes, as there's a lot of criminal action waiting for us later on.

the BEST fantasy i've ever seen

At first, the description of this series seemed funny, so I started watching it just for fun, not expecting that I would like it at all. I watched this series very quickly, the plot really interested me and I felt a lot of emotions!

ALL the characters there are green flags, and if not, then they realize their mistakes. The whole series is like a fairy tale, the narrator is charming, and at the end we get an interesting "criminal" plot!

And James did a great job! I love his role as Love, he acts really natural and perfect for his role. The entire cast is really well chosen, the characters are charming and very pleasant to watch!

I'm very positively surprised because I didn't expect this series to be so good!

Aylins story is the best

„23.5" was my first GL series, which made me very excited while watching it. Honestly I started watching it because of Aylin and her unique style, but the main couple also charmed me, making me enjoy the whole series.

Ongsa is a very relatable character, she is also very funny and slightly oversensitive, which is understandable, although it might slightly irritate some viewers. Overall, Ongsa and Sun had an interesting and enjoyable story, just like the side couple which kept me from getting bored. I would also like to mention Ton, who charmed me a lot, and I have a feeling that without him, I wouldn't have laughed as much.

The acting was good and I would particularly like to highlight View, who did very well in the role of Aylin. I focus mainly on her story because her subplot was quite original and really moving. I am glad that GMMTV undertook such a story.

The soundtrack, as in many GMMTV series, was so-so. The same song kept repeating but if someone is familiar with GMMTV series, they won’t be surprised. I always wonder why some series (including "Not Me") have a varied OST, even with American songs, while others have very few OSTs or just one.

Overall, I rate the series highly - I really liked it. I also enjoyed the behavior of the fandom on X, as we achieved a very good result in the hashtag.

very specific but interesting

6ixtynin9 was truly a significant experience. Firstly, I was surprised by the fact that the entire action took place within just one day throughout the whole series, which can be noticed, among other things, by the fact that one character began getting a tattoo in the first episode, and by the fifth, it was still in progress. This is truly original and interesting, which is a big plus.

Unfortunately, the overall experience was rather dull, but it wasn't bad because I reached the end with interest. Davika performed excellently; her acting (as well as the rest of the cast in this series) was wonderful. Many nudity themes or the "gateway to heaven" subplot were very atmospheric, encouraging viewership.

The plot itself didn't have any shortcomings; I have no complaints. After all, it was a black comedy, so everything had to be slightly exaggerated. Some subplots were downright absurd because of this, but they still created atmosphere and were interesting.

I believe this series is not suitable for people with weak nerves. Some things might trigger or simply gross out; also, you MUST like and understand black humor. Personally, I won't rate it very highly, but I think it will be appreciated by fans of black humor with a touch of gore.
