if they're making someone do a stunt by falling off a building backwards, why would they not set up safety nets or a pad at all??? that's literally a lawsuit

all lee yikyung and song hayoon did so wonderfully as the main antagonists. i usually see yikyung's comedic side, as he naturally makes those expressions, but i was surprised at how intimidating and hate-able he came off in some scenes. hayoon pulled off the snake-y, flirty, sociopath off so well too. claps all around at making us hate them so much.

hmm after finishing ep 1, i'm feeling kind of whatever on it. nothing has really hooked me in yet, but maybe that'll change as it goes on. i'll give it a few more episodes. it's just a little boring tbh. the club scene was good though.

lee jaewook and lee jungha are both younger than her

this drama was quite the surprise. for the entire run, it's a series full of hard-to-stomach abuse scenes, inheritance turmoil, and family drama. it follows the lives of the housekeepers and their suffering post-death of the master. initially, i wrote this off as a fairly typical inheritance murder mystery story, akin to something like dalah or knives out. majority of the felt like a slow burn, but the last episode truly changed my mind. what an ending.

the production quality is very high with some innovative shots, transitions, and even some fake-outs. i thought the acting was good across the board, particularly from yada as the lead. if you watch it please be prepared for explicit physical and sexual abuse in every episode. while they don't show anything super explicit, it can be hard to stomach their constant mistreatment. that being said, i really enjoyed the watch. 7.5/10.

this is basically everything an action comedy superhero kdrama should be

also, they know there's a serial killer on the loose and everyone is dying around them, but they all still continue to walk alone outside at night.

starting ep 5 now. i think you really need a stomach for hierarchal abuse and lower class suffering. so far it seems less about an inheritance battle or murder mystery and more about the lives of the servants in the aftermath of the death, which isn't a bad thing. just sort of a tough watch to watch them get treated like this. but i know this is a revenge story so guess i just have to see where it goes.

only finished ep 2, but oh my god the second hand embarrassment is real with this one 😭

maybe try his latest one, the wonderfools. i def think he's improved since his earlier years and does well in action. plus, it's just a good drama.

even if he knew her in 2015 when she was 15, but they didn't date until she was at least 18 in 2018, it'd still be an 18yo with a 30yo or a 19yo with a 31yo. if this is true and they dated when she was an adult (barely), it may not be illegal, but it's still a 30yo with a teenager. there's still a high chance he knew her while she was underage too. are we really trying to support 30yo men who target teens and college girls? 😭

the description here is so odd. is he a taxi driver? a train driver? it's such a confusing description.

also im obsessed with the mixed media opening intro. it's insane.

it's definitely made by korean and asian creators and they SHOULD be celebrated for that, but the main point is that it's an animated film and mdl has specifically stated that they do not add animated films on here. if there is one exception, then ALL must be added, including the thousands or millions of animated korean, chinese, japanese, filipino, taiwanese, and thai animated movies out there. does this include anime as well? animated shows?

there's also a lot of southeast asian content (vietnamese, indonesian, etc) that people have begged to add on here that they stated they will not add (despite including thai content already). katseye pop star academy is not on here, despite hybe's participation. the lines they draw are very murky, but this addition very clearly crosses over it, being both an american production and an animated film. the country is even listed as "united states"

only just finished ep 1 but it's hilarious so far. the entire part with chaeni and the two guys made me laugh out loud multiple times. i hope it stays this way throughout the show.

as someone who has never watched yu yu hakusho or know anything about the story or characters, this was a very fun watch. despite only being 5 episodes long, it's a solid introduction into the series with fun world building and incredible production quality. the action sequences were well choreographed, the cgi was some of the best i've seen in a jdrama, and i think they translated the zany anime feel well to a live action. while it's not the best jdrama or adaptation i've ever seen, it makes me want to explore the world more (which is what all great adaptations should do).

though, i do think it had some pacing issues. somehow each episode felt extremely long. i don't think it was boring or anything per se, i just think it rushed so many aspects that there was little development in any sphere. almost no character, relationship, or personal development could happen due to the scope of the story condensed into such a short amount of time. it was hard to really get invested into anything that happened because it was over before i could even try. for such a big ip, you'd think they could get more than 5 eps for an adaptation. still, with the little they could get, i think they did a good job. 8/10 (for now).

100% agree with both your comments. loved it so much until the second half where they completely ruined it with the fml

nearly finished with s1, but it really suffers from having too many characters. it feels impossible to keep track of them. they flashed back to a victim and i could've sworn i just saw her alive a second ago. they virtually receive no personality or memorable trait outside of who they're related to which makes it impossible to actually care about any of them. frankly though, i don't even care much for the main characters either.

9/10. this was a very fun watch. it has a little of everything covering family, friendships, romance, and self-love. there's a nice balance between cute romantic scenes and the more exciting overarching revenge plot. i got a little worried near ep 12 because it was veering toward overdramatic, unrealistic kdrama land by introducing a new evil character, but it was quickly (thankfully) remedied by ep 14. ep 14-16 were great. i was screaming, hollering, and cheering at my screen, something i hadn't done since finishing the glory. if you love found family, character development, cute romance, lovable characters, and a messy revenge plot, then this is an easy recommendation.

i'm intrigued, but this description is pretty poorly written
