What Can I Say

My, this is one of the best things that happened in 2020. I mean the show is lit in every possible way! The story is unique, the screenplay is intriguing, the actors are outstanding & they're holding the pace of the story well! And, it's hilarious as hell! Believe me, Shin Hye-Sun is on another level in this one. I mean I love & admire her acting since Angel's last mission love. But now, after watching her in this one my admiration for her just went double! She's marvelous in her job & she's talented! Period!

I dropped watching historical kdrama after Empress ki and scarlet heart's ending but this drama really made me watch historical kdrama again!! Right from the very first episode this show is like a hilarious rollercoaster ride, i love how the balance of drama and comedy is maintained in the show, not a single moment where you feel bored. The lead actors and even the supporting actors especially the court maid and Lady Choi are so fun to watch. Shin hye sun is nailing it in her role as Mr queen. She has a great comic timing and watching her with Jung Hyun aka The king is like a cherry on the top. I love how the show makes you laugh even in the intense scenes. This show is something which every kdrama fans yearned to watch. By far the show is running great and each episode makes you yearn for more. I just hope that the show gets a happy and logical ending. If you love to watch a show with humor and interesting drama then Mr Queen is your ultimate destination you have been waiting for!! Check it out you won't get disappointed at all !! All the best to the entire cast of Mr Queen, they are doing a fantastic job. Let's hope the show keeps us entertained thoroughly :)

The Villain: Time

Was expecting a happy ending but this is just the reality of life. You don't always end up with your first love, you change, you grow up, you forget and move on. But the people you met will always be part of who you are now. I know we watch dramas to get away from reality, but I think after time I will recover from their sad ending and realize it’s not really sad. They loved each other, and that’s all that matters. They gave each other strength, and she showed her daughter that strength as well. While I admit that I’m broken they didn’t end up together, I would be lying to say that this ending didn’t touch me. This drama was special and will always be special to me. It shows me that in the future if I love something dearly, it was worthwhile and not pointless even if it ends.

This drama taught us how precious youth is. it's precious because it'll only be a phase, it'll be the only time where passion and friendship are the only things that matter. that's why you have to treasure it. This type of finale is kind of new. it was heart breaking but beautiful. Thank you for everything, 2521.

Low Expectation

Someday or One Day is my favorite Taiwan drama ever. That being said I had low expectations for this show, like how could this drama be better than that masterpiece, right?

Well I think that's exactly what helped when watching this kdrama; I had low expectations. I kept thinking "oh there not gonna do my favorite scene". or "there not gonna add the gay storyline". After finishing the show I had same sort of love that I had for the original. It took me some time to be use to the pacing, but as I watched each episode I was criticizing less and enjoying it more. It seemed as each episode went by the writer was more confident in the story. Slowly the writer added their own take to the beloved remake. Adding their own spin and exciting take on the crazy loophole ride that we go on. The storyline is not destroyed as many remakes do? The original one needed a rewatch for complete understanding but I feel someone who hasn't watched the Taiwan one would understand this because they made Kdrama ver a little more precise and clear.

The acting was amazing especially the last couple of episodes, so many emotions… Props to everyone, especially the main cast as they definitely carried part of the show on their backs.

I wouldn't say it's a perfect remake, but if you’ve never seen the show before I think you’ll enjoy it!

Touching

Binged watched the show the day it came out. I started crying 15 min into the first episode. The amount of respect and care the characters showed while doing their work was amazing. This show gave a insight in how the aftermath of loss of life unfolds on the belongings and the place they lived in and how different people deal with it in different ways.

The series has only a few main characters and it shows that you can make a excellent story with just that. The CGIs were so cute , made it easier for us to understand the thought process of the MC. The way range of scenarios were show and carefully covered was amazing. I am so happy with the cast , that they feel perfect for this show , I wish it had more episodes but the character growth and pace was fine so , maybe a season 2 since it has so much potential.

It also beautifully show how much shame and awkwardness is attached to a person's passing that it is often translated into silence, how hush hush the affair of removing the belonging has to be. Trauma Cleaner deserve more respect.

Our priorities are so , our grief is so and passage of time is slow so complicated , that we work on listening to the person through their belongings , after they have passed and how we try to revive memories in them. A lot of unsaid and unknown unravels when someone passes and then it becomes to late for us to know that. It's a must watch series for growth and healing , for I know most of us ,definitely in lives have Not dealt with atleast one loss fully and this may helps us in a way .

Must See

Several months after My Mister came out in 2018, it showed up on one of my Asian drama streaming apps. I should've watched it then, but I didn't. When it recently showed up on Netflix, I watched it right away. The timing was perfect. I absolutely devoured it, binge watched the entire thing. Easy to understand why it won best drama 2018. Moving, touching, sentimental, maddening at times, and always tugging at my heart. Very well done. The ending is also beautifully done. Intentionally enigmatic and rightfully so. It's the kind of ending the viewer brings their own emotions into account..., imagining the next step to be whatever suits your sensibilities. To answer some inquiries about 'do they love each other?'..., of course they do. Love is not limited to social constructs of dating, sex, or even marriage. They absolutely love each other, but without feeling compelled to make it anything else. Deeply caring for another person, wanting their happiness, wanting what's best for them, is love. And so well played in an amazing drama. I'm not given to cry much, or even tear up..., but I did both..., and often with My Mister. Great job, Director Kim Won-seok. Great job, IU, Lee Sun Gyun, and the entire, fantastic cast. Khamsa Hamnida.

I am not sure if I was the only one, but I was crying at the end. I didn't know why until I realized I was happy crying. I also finally understood what Dong Hoon and Ji Ahn relationship was and was happy for both of them! They loved one another and not in a romantic way, maybe in the future but as friends.

Nothing like the Anime

I’ll be honest, the trailer never intrigued me, and I was also lost, wondering if this show was an adaptation from the anime.

However when the show came out, I kept hearing good things so I decided to give it a watch. Let’s just say the first episode hooked me within the first 5 minutes. Not just because how action packed the first 5 minutes are, no, because the way it was directed. I could tell this was something hugely different and was nothing like the anime show; which made me want to watch it even more.

The best way to sum up this show is saying this show is loosely based on the anime and I don’t know how much from the movie but Parastye: The Grey is more of a expansion to the world that was already built.

With fun different characters the story follows Jeong and Seol who both have different goals in mind, however the two keep meeting because they don’t want to be alone. The two are polar opposites which is why the dynamic works well. Jeong and Seol have different values in mind which helps the two trying to survive this world where they can’t trust anyone but themselves. And Choi she was amazing! She always had great energy and her motivations were clear and soiled.

As for the story, the main takeaway is that your never really alone. Whether you like it or not there will always be someone with you even if it’s forced. Jeong who felt like a monster ever since she was child because of a certain backstory never looked normal to the public, this made her feel like an outsider and resulted in her not getting to closer to anyone. However once the parasite became part of her, the two go on this road of self discovery and learn that they have each other to survive on.

I do highly recommend this show, it’s very good, has lots of cool and great action scenes. Also it’s sort of a quick watch with 6 episodes each around and hour long, it goes by fast!

Webtoon vs Kdrama

I did read the webtoon and with the very first episode I was kind of disappointed, though that didn't stop me from continuing the show. After the first episode, I enjoyed the show a lot more. I don't know if it was just me or that I kept connecting the show and the webtoon together... Anyways the show kept the true meaning of the webtoon which I really appreciate, because it was one my reasons why I love reading Sweet Home. The show also kept a lot of the characters the same with a little mix into it, meaning things were gonna be different from the webtoon. I liked that because I wouldn't be able to expect things to happen. The ending was also very different from the webtoon even though I loved reading that ending, I really loved the ending they did for the show. They left it more open meaning there could be a season 2, hopefully!
Overall It is a great show with a hidden meaning. If you do not like the first episode like me I recommend you try the second episode. I hope there is another season and everyone in the show did such a great job!

Very Creative

I know this kdrama is based on a webtoon with the same name, but I like the creativity they did for the show.
STORY - I found it very creative and funny. Even though sometimes it was predictable on where the story was going there were times where it did an 180. I was also so intrigued on what was gonna happen next that I did not want to go to bed. Now many people say that the characters are annoying... and I can see where they are coming from but I think if you were in their shoes you would be acting the same way.
ACTING/CAST - I love everyone, but I think what made the show more lovable was the supporting cast and the actions they would do in the background.
MUSIC - Made me pumped lol. The music defiantly added more magic and fantasy to the story.
OVERALL - I do recommend this kdrama especially if you like romance, comedy and mystery. I can not express how much I love this drama, and is just mind-blown of how creative it is. Its very fun to watch and has many sweet and iconic moments.

Will Forever Stay With Me

The beginning of each scene was engaging and the plot that unfolds leaves you wondering what happens next. The storyline is very much like goblin so can't really say it's original but it was still interesting nonetheless. A lot of plotlines from the other characters and the ghosts from the hotel were thrown at me but I was more interested in finding out about Man Weol's past. I must admit that I did think the overall storyline of the drama was kinda confusing and even after finishing it there were still some things that didn’t make sense. I do think that the show spent too much time focusing on the storylines of the ghosts who would come into the hotel. Like sometimes they were interesting but I wanted to see more of Man Weol and Gu Chan Sung, damnit!

The CINEMATOGRAPHY is beyond beautiful. There wasn't a single seeing that wasn't any short of wonderful. Even the boring scenes we're nice to look at because of the amazing production that went into the sets.
The COSTUME DESIGN was exquisite. The main cast always looked good but IU's wardrobe was on another level. Her clothes matched her character so well. She definitely looks the part. Gu Chan Sung wore suits most of the time but hey you can never go wrong with a suit ;)

The ACTING was excellent(I figured if IU is in this it will be good), and the scenes between the Man-wol and Chan-sang were so enchanting to watch. Each interaction between them was truly captivating. I couldn't get enough of them both on the screen together. I love their chemistry.

The OSTs are literally so amazing I have no words. every song was right for the scene it was put in. The music truly transported you into the story as you were watching. Taeyeon's "all about you" and Paul Kim's "so long" are my favorites. Punch's "another day" was very good also. This is the first drama where I actually like all the osts.

OVERALL Many shows and movies talk about life and death, but nothing stuck with me the most than Hotel Del Luna. I appreciate this drama so much, I can not explain what it means to me. This show will always be stay with me, and I will force my future kid to watch it.

For those who are wondering to watch it, please do. Everything about this show is beautiful and is perfect!
