Fantastic movie, let down by slow and idle pace.

Everyone did great and the story is spectacular, however, the movie is somehow lacking excitement.

This is a crime movie where we have a serial killer on the loose and he is copying a popular Manga, he keep killing a family after another yet each time we only get a glimpse of the dead family and that's it.

The police reaction is so calm, I thought Seida is the only one who has the right to act like that since he is a "peculiar" detective, but everyone is the same.

Not saying it was boring but the "meh!" Vibes of the movie made watch the whole thing with a straight face.

Also I was slightly pissed at why Shun Oguri's character was a supporting role since he literally carried the whole movie and he appeared more than the ML in some parts but I reached the last 20 mins and I understood why!!

Overall great movie you should watch it.

Great, then good, then meh!

I love the 4 leads and the beginning was fantastic, I loved the concept and I do agree with comments saying this is one of the best GMMTV has ever made.

Be that as it may, I didn't like how the story went, I loved the idea of solving ghosts problems in a funny way but it got too personal in ep 6 I think...

Not that I'm against that, but I would have loved it more if they solved the whole Chef arc and the accident part last, also the whole Home's family issue is a bit redundant and unnecessary, I know that it could lose it's charm if it was anthological but i believe it won't be boring with this cast was perfectly put together and all were ver, fun to watch, also I loved the first few episodes the most, they were so much fun and ridiculous, when it got personal it became too dark and sad.

The characters were amazing, Jan and Tay in their natural habitat acting as siblings, the Pickering between Tay and New, also Jan and the silent Bodyguard were brilliant I loved them together, the only "character" I didn't like much was Kan, I just didn't like her in general.

Overall, worth the hype and I totally understand wh, people are obsessed with it, for me the story wasn't the best but aside from that I loved everything else ~

I've always wanted to watch this but sadly there were no subs for ages till a kind hearted person decided to sub this, so thanks (cinto / smolsannie) for the subs 🙏🙏🙏

It took me 16 years to finally watch a collection of kisses 😂😂 I originally thought this was longer, like a proper drama, back in the days I wasn't on MDL, had I known I'd probably just watch them without subs, but also had I known they were only a collection of kisses I wouldn't even bother lol cause that's what it's all about, kisses with a tiny plot, or dare I say a scene from a plot, it's a couple of minutes each, no big thing.

But the hit of nostalgia from hearing Flower by Bright!! (Now that they are disbanded you don't know how much I felt!) Also the HOT kisses 😘😘 worth checking out.

Now that I'm a bit older, those old shows hits me differently.

A little over 2 and a half hours of struggle and pain

Quick quiz: how many accidents can the ML have and stay alive before getting paralyzed?
Cause I counted about 6, and he was still alive and kicking!

The headline says it all ~

Aside from a secret that needn't be a secret, and a lie that is completely unnecessary, the show has practically nothing but struggles, the FL struggle with money, her father's illness and the harassment from the ML, and the ML struggles with accidents, the FL repellency and jealousy over her.

The ML can't take no for an answer and is obsessed with the FL in a very unhealthy way, not romantic but more like bullying and harassing way, somehow that's understandable cause he is in love and this is fiction
the FL already has too much on her plate and the ML came to just make her life worse, although IMO everything could be easily avoided had she told him the truth ~

However, I have to praise the two leads as they were great!! And they had good chemistry.

There is something in the story that I didn't understand in the beginning and it doesn't have an explanation later but I sincerely am not interested in asking about it now, I'm just glad it ended because finishing this was quite a chore despite generally liking it ~

Ridiculous

I don't expect anything groundbreaking when I start a VD and I settle for the bare minimum but this was too ridiculous.

First I believe the budget here is less than other VDs cause almost all characters barely changed their outfit, even the two leads had probably 2-3 outfits through the whole show.

The story is obviously silly, but if you are going to make something stupid, at least make it believable.
For instance, the ML started this whole sh!tshow because the FL looks like his first love .. alright, great this part is understandable, now when his first love is back, they don't look alike, there is not a slightest resemblance between them, the girl looked like a mixture of too many plastic surgeries, and almost the polar opposite of the FL.
Another thing is the way the ML appear out of no where in places he has no business being at.
I could understand the stupid story but the unrealistic moments are annoying.

The ML is terrible person, I mean this is not the average cold controlled CEO who is obsessed with the FL and want her for himself, this is just a jerk in a suit, he just flung his money at the FL and act like he bought her from the market.
Also when his first love appeared, he was so terrible with the FL, like if you still have feelings for your first love, why did you force her to divorce and cut ties with her family, I mean they are shitty people but that's still none of your business if you only want to use her as a substitute body for your first love.

The FL also is too innocent, and extremely stupid, like she doesn't even have two brain cells to communicate what is right and what is wrong, probably the IQ of a dead lizard, like who agrees to sleep with another person aside from her husband just to earn him a promotion? And why do you want to get pregnant by a stranger as if that's a reason to sleep with a him so yeah you accept because that's the only way you can have a child, have they tried adoption or any other way to get her pregnant?
Like I don't know what was wrong with the writers but the characters here are just bad.

So ridiculous story, with bad characters, and questionable acting, I think you should pass on this one ~

This was sad but has some lessons to teach too.

The main this I liked was highlighting how to treat people who are grieving, it's always about the loss and how to deal with it, but her is about people around them, and how can they make it more bearable for them.

The way they showed the FL strong, and didn't break down till the end is saying it all, how can we help those who hide all their pain inside and not show their vulnerability easily.
the way the two guys were too insensitive in the beginning toward the whole thing, they were arguing about the casket without thinking about the idea of "carrying the casket" ... You are in a funeral there is no room for ridiculous jealousy and competition.

I like how eventually they did the right thing, and how in the end the FL finally was able to let all her feelings of pain and loss get out.

Not one of my fav cause I don't usually like sad stories but still it was a great story

This was AMAZING I loved it so much!!

The story was so funny with a mixture of thriller and the two leads were brilliant, even the serial killer was funny and I know the story is supposed to be unrealistic specially that dance at the end but it was so much fun.

I really want to watch the two leads together in something, Kim AhYoung was so funny here and the fun chemistry is so good.

I might be slightly biased because horror comedy is my all time favourite genre but here it's mostly comedy with horror parody.

So far this is my favourite story.

My least favourite LXX drama so far

I like LXX and I believe he is a great actor, I've seen quite a few of his dramas and I think he has chemistry with every actress he acted with even in shows that were not that great or has a very ridiculous story.

But here there was no chemistry with the FL, his appearance was scarce compared to the FL, she is the main focus of the whole show more than the ML, the whole revenge story is lame and not interesting, I was bored while watching and I already had hard time following the story because the link I used to watch was quite weird and wasn't well edited which made the whole experience worse.

Is it unwatchable? Not really, but I've seen much better to not like this one, what I didn't like the most was the storytelling and I didn't even care about the two leads characters or the whole revenge plot.

I believe the ML has better other shows to watch and generally there are other VDs that are more interesting anyway ~

A movie for dance lovers only

I hate to be this person who doesn't agree with everyone else in thinking this is a great movie, but let me explain why I didn't like it that much.

First of all, I'm not a fan of these type of dances, never were my thing and I've never been interested in them, so this movie is very niche IMO, only if you are interested in this world you will enjoy it.
You may ask me, why do you watch a movie about something you are not interested in? Simply because movies are made to make you interested in those things, to capture your attention through story telling to the beauty of different things you are not interested in or probably never came across before, so you'll end up with a new perspective about new things. This movie failed to do that for me.

Second thing is the acting from the two leads .... It's spectacular and brilliant talent in showing a wide range of emotions that both characters felt.
The thing is, despite the great effort made from both leads Keita and Ryoma, I didn't understand the reason of those emotions they show, like you can understand the emotion but why did this character had that feeling at this particular scene, for example... And this could be a spoiler so skip... When Sugiki tells Suzuki about the first tournament with yagami and how he bullied her and bla bla bla to the end of the scene... Suzuki gets disappointed, he get on the train, Sugiki follows him, and kisses him, the other guys melt then a reverse Beggin' by Måneskin moment where he tells him
"I could be the beauty and you can be the monster"... And the whole scene ends with a weird remark from Sugiki that he's always inspired him ...
What am I supposed to get from this scene? How did we go from this point to that one? I understand the pure emotions they both shows but I don't understand the situation, I think my mind is broken or something, also I love Ryoma, so so much, but why does his character have this look of disgust most of the times ...

The end... It was abrupt, and weird. That's it, I'll say no more ...
I genuinely believe that people just get over hyped about anything that has a hint of a BL even if it's not that great, and if it wasn't for the fantastic acting, I don't see any appeal in the story none whatsoever ~

Not recommended ~

It was very wholesome and heartwarming, not as sad as expected, I thought I'd cry rivers, but I watched the whole thing and didn't cry, maybe I'm not that sensitive lol

Everyone did great, and the lil girl was so adorable and cute, I loved the adoption story the most, also this is all connected stories which is something I like.

I'm not a pet person at all, I can't bear to watch them go which is why one of the stories was hard to watch for me, but still it was very lovely movie I'd recommend it for pet lovers and owners of dogs.

The big golden dog was so cute 🥰
