Definitely an upgrade from Season 1
This the second season of Busted and it was really a great upgrade from the first season. The story is still connected from the first season but it's independent on it's own. There's a new plot line to watch for. The episodes are really upgraded from the previous season and it can still wrack your mind because when you're about to make your guess and be confident about it you will never be too sure until it revealed what's true.Changes on the cast didn't affect much in terms of the excitement. The new characters were as good as the previous cast that left. The guests are still high end like the previous season and keeps you from wanting more. The comedy is still there but the mystery will keep you on your toes as the plot twists are unpredictable.
I'm already waiting for the third season. Full season from Season 1 is highly recommended.

Interesting movie that will really stick on your mind after watching it. Really mind-blowing
The is the same as what you will expect once you heard that it's about a woman abducted forcefully to be locked up on a mental hospital, and a man who tries to uncover the mystery regarding the abduction in order for him to be back on his career. There were several times that I really doubted the story because I watched a movie before that has two possibilities so I thought, this movie might be wanting me to think she was insane but what if she isn't? I was getting ready on the twist this movie is offering, it didn't disappoint me and instead it actually left me mind-blown. None of the theories' I've come up is correct.Lee SangYoon's character here is consistent all throughout the film and I think he pulled it off. Kang Ye Won on the other hand, amazed me on how great she pulled the character on this movie. It drove me insane really.
If you're ready to be crazy after watching this movie, you should probably watch this.

Upgrade from Crime Scene 1 that will never disappoint you
The story format was upgraded from the previous Crime Scene 1. From episode 1, it already had an unexpected mock deduction skills exam which surprised the casts of the season. The stories no longer relates to a real life story which at the beginning I find a bit disappointing but case after case, I realized that it doesn't make the show less interesting because they actually became more creative. The set is upgraded as well and shows more location to investigate. There are some episodes as well that gives plot twists and unexpected sequel to it. I'm not sure if the casts became better in finding clues or if I became better analyzing the scenario or if the story became easier that I was able to guess most of the criminal if not all. But overall it's still fun. This season became more flavorful. It inserts subtle drama, romance and comedy without ruining it's own purpose, mystery.I think this season has a better set of castings plus the detective genius and deducting queen is still here. The guests are also quite good in deducting. They inserted the role detective for every episode and everyone did their best whenever their turn for being a detective comes up. The last 2 episodes are really a bang because they invited a real professional in terms of investigation and really gave conclusive clues in solving the crime although he didn't guessed the criminal correctly. And before I forgot, they added a very handsome Assistant Detective in this season which is double thumbs up for me.
They still use the infamous Crime Scene voices and sound effects which always add thrills to the episodes.
Whichever season it is, Crime Scene is still the best for me. ♥️

Powerful acting and a story full of meaningful metaphor
I've been holding off to watch this movie and I am so glad that I finally did. I am also flabbergasted that I like this movie.The best part that I love is the powerful acting for the both leads. They had that charm that you want to keep watching them. Specially, the iconic argument scene. I literally held my breath during that scene. Most serious scene on dramas usually have that tense vibe that feels scripted like a movie. Like it's a scene happening just on dramas but the exchange of lines on this movie, it felt real. I can imagine it happening in real life. Props to the scriptwriter for choosing the right words. (Sorry for non-native Filipino because the English subtitle won't be able to translate the tension and full of emotion of the lines.)
This would be a bit debatable but for me, it wrapped up the movie really well. It is indeed confusing and open-ended however if you analyze like the little clues here and there, you'd be able to realize that it's a very appropriate ending.
Overall, I really really love this movie.

To be honest, I'm not even sure what I've just watched
I saw this in passing on Netflix's Top 5 movie for a couple of days and it intrigued me specially seeing Ma DongSeok and Kim HyunSoo (from her role as the young FL on My Love From The Star) plus it's just an hour watch so it's pretty short and I watched it. I didn't know that 1-hour would take me 2 days to finish this movie.I literally fell asleep in the middle of it so I finished it the following day and I was just completely lost. I don't know where the plot is going or what even happened after I finish. There might be people who really loves this movie but I know this is not my cup of tea. A good take-away with this is that now, I wanted to watch other Kim HyunSoo and Ma DongSeok's movies/dramas.

Are you ready to meet the Delulu (Delusional) Family?
After a long time, I finally decided to watch this series. I was convinced after watching a couple of clips and when I went in I got so excited. I was too determined that I even used my sick leave thinking I could finish it in a day. That's how fascinated I am with this rich/chaebol drama. Unfortunately, the fun started fading midway as it felt too stretchy. Small wins then big blows which is not that bad, it's just not as exciting for me. I finished the series just for the sake that I want to see how things ended.Acting-wise, I feel like Im SooHyang carried most of the series together with Bae JongOk. They're both powerful actresses that made their characters come to life which is the main reason as well that I kept going.
I personally don't know someone as rich as the same level as this family but the whole drama going on is so fascinating that I'm actually relieved I'm not as rich as them. There's a lot of twists here and there making it interesting but I kind of feel sad how the ending was rushed.
I'd still recommend this if you're into crazy rich dramas/scenarios or if you want to see rich people fight each other with class but might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Very light romantic comedy that will send butterflies to your stomach
I haven't watched Goblin yet but when I see Lee DongWook and Yoo InNa together they look like they have a good chemistry on screen so I decided to give this a try. I wasn't disappointed because aside from those occassional bursts of laughter from me, they really did send me sparks and romance between them. The story overall feels neutral, although there are some 'law' stories going on, it doesn't really delve into that category that much. It mostly kept the romantic comedy vibe. It's not bad yet it's not that impressive.I'm just glad that they made the character less annoying than usual k-dramas. Most of the k-dramas I've watched is a grumpy leading man who fell in love and became a nice guy but in this one they created a male lead who's stern but knows how to apologize when needed and acknowledges his own actions then eventually became a sweet guy (at least in his own little ways). Then we have a female lead who's an actress who's not dumb. Terrible at acting (not referring to InNa because she's great, I'm just describing her character) but is really doing her best in whatever she does which actually impressed me. Their secret office romance is so cute that it just gives off a smile on my face as I'm watching it. The side romances from the supporting characters is also cute and funny.
Maybe the best thing I could take from this series is the OST. Good Night by Jeong Sewoon and What if Love by Wendy is definitely staying on my playlist. I've been listening to these songs for days on repeat and I just can't get enough.
This is one of the classics I think. Not super hype but something really worth the watch.

Bite-sized, one day KDrama
The main reason that I watched this is because it's just 8-episodes and I feel like I need to watch full KDrama in a day and this fits perfectly into that category. To be honest, at first I am hesitant because I'm not into fashion thingy. I thought they'd be too technical that eventually I won't be able to relate but boy, I was wrong. Whether you have an interest in fashion or you're just a curious K-Drama lover, this series is still enjoyable.While I'm not an expert, I feel like the artistry used in this is somehow realistic yet I feel like it's not exactly too detailed (and I'm guessing it's a lot much more different in real life) The friendship among these 4 people is also just amazing (another friendship that I wish I had) the romance part though is not so much entertaining for me. I don't feel any sparks within the main lead love line. (I honestly loved SeonHo with her new boyfriend more although they had limited screentime. His dedication to SeonHo is unmatched really. Then here we have main leads who don't know what they're doing. Even the love triangle trope is a meh.)
Overall, I'm glad I stuck around for this one until the end. Their stories are definitely fun to watch and seeing them giving their all to their profession is just inspiring. If you're looking for a series that is just light-hearted yet you don't have much time, I recommend this.

What did I even watch?
I don't know what I expected when I watched this but I'm very disappointed. It even took me 3 days to finish this movie 'cause I ain't feel like watching it but somehow I know I need to finish it to move on.There's a lot to unpack here. The story overall is messy. It kind of makes sense but not the most ideal way to present a story. When I read the plot I thought there was more to it but it was everything. Nothing more, nothing less. No twists and turns. Just the female lead getting her revenge. The end.
The only thing that I somewhat like about this movie is the classical music that was on the background. It's kind of relaxing after getting pissed by the movie itself.
Not something that I would really recommend to anyone. I was totally click-baited on Tiktok. Although, I should say if you want to watch it why not. Others seems to like it just fine. But definitely this is not my cup of tea.

All you need to know about Japan's 'sex culture' (?)
This was a funny documentary and I love how SiKyung and DongYup actually compliments each other in hosting. The comedian and singer balance kind of makes sense here. The way they react to things are also legit so it makes it more realistic.It was fun knowing this kind of different culture where a taboo thing on the rest of the world is just a normal thing in Japan. The sex toys, the whole AV industry, it was all mind-blowing.
Tbh, the real win for me is how this documentary made me laugh a lot. Unlike most documentaries that are too serious, this one is on the lighter side of things.
If you're not too sensitive about adult things, I think this is a fun watch. If you're a conservative type though, you might wanna skip this one or you might end up having your virgin eyes/mind devirginized. Hehe~

Who doesn't want a little revenge?
This was a unique take about revenge where the main lead devote his whole life for this grand revenge after his life has been ruined. It's just weird as well that the old guy keeps ruining this young man's life just because he didn't kneel down before him. For me, their reasoning and motivations are shallow but somehow they were able to make a decent story out of it.Male lead and female lead doesn't have that much of a chemistry but the female lead really looks cute specially when she's pursuing the male lead. I just can't get over the fact that almost every character in this series is motivated or fired up by something ridiculous. One revenge, another one power, another one is love. But somehow they made it work.
I had high expectations for this series that's maybe why I am disappointed as to how the story unfolds. Anyway, I still recommend this series because you'll learn a lot about life. Like how pursuing something whole-heartedly can take you places. I still had fun watching it.
P.S: Will edit this in the future if time allows.

Most awaited Season 2
I love that they created a new season that has a completely different plot line so even if you haven't watched the first season, you'll still be able to watch it. Some premises changed and the series is still connected on the first season somehow. The stories are just as rich and heartfelt as the first season but is not as structured as before. I love that the main casts remained the same although the villagers were completely replaced.The chemistry is still there and I love the new addition to the family which is Bora. Watch out what her role is to the family. Overall, I highly recommend this drama if you're a fan of crime, mystery, and fantasy drama.

A beautiful wrap up of the games
I love how this series ended the way it did. Season 2 had much more meaning than the first one. Here, we've got to see more about the other characters and not just the main ones. Their reason for living, what life they had before the games, it's all revealed in here.The longer I watch the series, the better I like it. The chemistry of the characters is also worth-praising. Instead of the brutal deaths, I love how the characters gained depth during this second season. It was very well worth it.
Although I enjoyed the first season a little less, I still recommend watching from the start to see the journey they've been through from the beginning. It's really fun to see them grow and struggle together between life and death.

The game will commence in 3... 2... 1...
The story itself is interesting. I can't help but find myself wanting to see the next episode to see what happens next. I rarely watch Japanese drama but I'm glad that whenever I watch one I am satisfied with the story overall. It's obvious that there's a second season and I'll definitely watch it to see what will happen to the characters.This series very well reminded me of Squid Game where you lose means you die. And I honestly don't like graphic deaths and blood so I usually skip those part but if you like bloody scenes, this one's definitely for you.
Overall, I enjoyed watching this series and I think you will too. There were pretty good twists here and there that will keep you on the edge of your seats so look forward to it.

Typical hospital drama with a supernatural twist
I was excited to watch this drama because the idea of a doctor being possessed by another doctor that is in coma is pretty interesting however I got disappointed at some several points like how late SeungTak became a good doctor himself. He relied too much on the ghost doctor which is a bit off for me. Very little to no touching scenes which I usually look for in hospital dramas where life and death exists. It's a pretty decent story, not just my cup of tea.The actors were pretty good themselves although I feel like Rain overpowers Kim Bum most of the time so I don't feel much bromance between them. Dong Il of course as a veteran actor pulled it off perfectly. One of my favorite Ahjussis in KDrama world.
Overall, I enjoyed the journey of watching this series. It felt a little short in getting me emotionally involved but still it made me laugh a couple of times. Still a recommended watch.
