Melancholy at its finest !!!!
If you're into melancholic dramas with too much angst, this one is for you. This story revolves around a Korean girl named Hong who travels to Japan and rebelliously starts to live and study alone there, even without notifying her parents. There, she meets Jungo, a Japanese boy around her age. Their encounter blossoms into a passionate love soon. The plot revolves around them after their breakup. The cinematography of this drama is top-notch. The acting is also good . This drama is the first drama I've watched with leads from two countries. I enjoyed it, was a good watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Kept Me Hooked Till The End!
I watched this drama solely because of Ju Jihoon. I was kinda curious at first because the plot is a bit different than the romcom lovey-dovey dramas I usually watch. Tbh, the plot sounded very boring at first, but I watched it anyway. It was a pleasant surprise for me because the story revolved around the biotech company 'Blood Free', politics and prominent figures in South Korea who were affected by a terrorist attack or who were present during it. I honestly loved the cast because the acting was phenomenal. I'm not exaggerating or anything; even the side characters like the female lead's assistant were cast so well and they understood their assignment. Otherwise, I would never be interested in watching a drama like this. Also, the drama has several action scenes which were directed pretty well. But beware, this drama doesn't have any romance, but the ML and FL have a subtle platonic thing going on like friends (I wouldn't say lovers because they didn't show any scene of them being intimate toward each other). I hope there will be a season two! I wanna know how everything gets wrapped up now because the ending felt a bit rushed for me.Was this review helpful to you?
Side Character Stories are Fun!
I like the concept of this drama, even though the main plot is tragic. Also, death is very straightforward, and she never lies; I like that about her. Everything aside, I feel like Yee Jae should've had a grand scheme to survive because the only thing he thought of saving was the money and not the lives he got. He has six more lives to live in the second part, and it makes me wonder how he will utilize the chances he gets now. Just like Death said, he should stop being dumb now.Aside from that, out of his all lives, I liked the ex-convict's life because he seems to be more resilient and kind of smarter than the others.Plus he didn't get any chance in both his first two lives because they both were a few minutes from their death when he took over their bodies.

good college romance drama
I'm just kinda sad about the fate of this drama honestly.It's nicely editted with a great flow to garner the attention of knetizens. There was a great hype surrounding this drama. I can remember everyone being so excited about the release of this drama after trailers dropped.Then out of nowhere Park hyesoo's scandal happened. It was actually a really good drama.Main story revolves around college life and finding love . FL and ML are childhood friends . Main plot revolves around FL ,ML and their roommates.It's a soft romance drama without unwanted dragging. Plot is simple and sweet. Of course there are bitter characters and situations but as a whole it's a good drama for a college /romance drama lover.Was this review helpful to you?

what a predictable ride.....
I somehow managed to watch last two episodes while skipping a lot of unnecessary parts lol. So tbh about that ending it's not what I expected and I'm not surprised either. I mean honestly if I think about it now even from the beginning KJ got more screen time than Raphael .Also in the middle episodes Raphael came to the spotlight cuz he started pursuing Woori ...only through a few eps.But then they started centring the drama about KJ and Woori. In my opinion this ending is kinda logical cuz in most kdramas FL ends up with someone who's hot,rich and powerful ( I'm team Raphael too) but nevertheless Woori would be better off without KJ and Raphael. What I didn't like about this drama is ....the plot was over the place in the later half like a typical soap drama lol .It became very predictable and less interesting. Nevertheless I enjoyed watching it ...also I hate the director for not showing Woori's baby bump properly till the end.Was this review helpful to you?
Love, Revenge and Redemption
This show revolves around Kang Ha and his journey into a school called Jooshin, which only the super-rich kids can afford. His goal in attending the school is to get revenge but along the way, he starts sympathizing with the rich kids who caused his sibling to die and forgets his original plan. The only thing I truly liked was the beautiful relationship between the female lead (Jae Yi) and the second male lead (Ri An). They are like each other's life and destruction at the same time. They love each other a lot, which I appreciated because, in most high school dramas like this involving super-rich kids, there are usually many cheating scandals and other dramas. However in this show, this couple focused only on loving and protecting each other. Jae Yi hides a big secret from Ri An, which eventually causes damage to her friends and she was insufferable throughout the whole series with her actions. I actually don't need a season two of this because I feel like the ending is satisfying in some way.When it comes to the plot, just like everyone said, it was so messy. It was all over the place in the middle but the ending kind of wrapped up nicely. The acting was fine but I liked Hera's character (2nd FL) more because she was such a 3D character. She honestly carried the show with her acting and the uniqueness of her character. I love how they portrayed her love for her dad ( which is rare for a rich mean girl). I would give this a 7.5 out of 10, but this show honestly has room for more improvement.

Premiering on an Actual Solar Eclipse Day
The kpop group Ryu Sungjae is in called Eclipse and in the opening scenes they show people watching a solar eclipse. This drama premiered on the 8th of April 2024, on a day when an actual total solar eclipse happened. What are the odds !!!!? I'm amazed at how everything lined up.Overall I love the drama, the plot might be cliche but Im Sol being disabled after an accident and gaining the will to live because of an accidental call with an idol is truly heartwrenching. Kim Hyeyoon totally knows how to portray her character so well. For now, it's just the time travel and nothing more in ep 1. So I am expecting to see more of their lives in upcoming episodes.
