I Watched for Ahn Hyo Seop, And I find myself enjoy the drama, despite my allergic to Medical Drama. Yo In Shik is doing a good work here everything in the operation table feels real that at times I can't stomach the scene. Ass usual this writers has a skill and tendency with dramatic setup. That I sometimes giggles because at times it's abit OTT.. But she success to bring out the best in Lee Sung Kyung and AHn Hyo Seop Performances. their background and arc here is really engaging, I wish this drama emphasis more about their story and arc. and less about politic. Back then, I was skeptical about Yo In Shik casting choice. WHo knows Both of these combo hit the jackpot, that I find both of them have so much potential, both of these actor already look passionate in acting here. Give so much nuance and passion to character, that I enjoying this drama thanks to them.

Contrary to so many people who want season 3. If you need season 3, then it's more like fan service to satisfy the fans. I don't think this drama need for that. The entire story basically Kim Sabu is like God. It's like the show credit all the good think in him, and everyone around him is flaws and all. Like basically that's the entire story of this drama is all about his greatness and how it affect people around him and look out of him heck even the villain. And This hospital is the ideal dream about what is the hospital should be, to a pure form .The drama for me is already complete and there is no need to explore more.

complete darkness

this is depiction of how jail time, no matter how short or long, will left a negative impact on pure souls. Eiher you wrongly accused or you are just accidentally kill a person without actually mean it, that experience will left a trauma and you might be never recover. This depiction is more about contrast to the police, they want the obvious suspect become a real suspect, because they think this is savest bet to level up. but they never know what they done to a suspect is evil and cruel.

either he is really a real culprit or innocent person, his view to the world during those experiience is total darkness and feels helpless.
this depiction is wonderfully convey in this little drama.

and this is after a very long time one of the best Kim Soo Hyun performances. which unfortunately not even given a nomination in baeksang. he should be doing this kind of performances more often.

The suspend is awsome from Start to finish. It's about two strangers who get into time loop and has to experience the same circumstance over and over again with different scenario and it bring them closer.. They realistically show how human nature will react if this two people who know something bad will happen on the bus, and take certain action in those situation. The circumstance is too much repetitive and some people might be bored with repetitive plot. The main lead keep wearing the same ourfits and rarely take different clothes except in different circumstance. But the repetitive doesn't make me bored one bit. Watch it in weekend because the show is quite addicting. You can rewatch it to make different perspective of each character.

The two main actor is awsome deliver the suspend and the depth or their character, and I would like to watch their other project!

it supposed to be fun, but the third act is no longer funn

what can I say? what a great cast. Especially for the main cast. If not because of them emoting all the right notes that tickles romantic and emotion in me , I don't think I will be drawn to the character at all.

the writing seems more organic in the first half. The romcom genre suit the first half of drama. but it's clear they want to bring the conflict and the second half should be more on serious tone. but they want to keep going about being funny, and the funny but unnecesary scene keep getting insert that at the end they resolved the conflict with half bake resolution. So the amount of episode feels short, despite it's not. what a shame. with talent cast like this, they should aim higher to get better writing. more over, it seems some character switch personality half way. like Kang Tae Moo character.

watching this because of Song Joong Ki.

Why I even bother with this drama. Song Joong Ki Rise to fame again and back on the map In Hallyu Status thanks to this drama And I'm as a fan feels gratefull to this drama. . I expecting it since the writers is really good generated buzz in his 2 previous drama and Plus It's Song Joong Ki. Though I admit, I didn't expected to generated this much buzz to the point it's one of the most watched on netflix. But because of this, It might be Along wait again until he reach 40 when he pick something more substance. Gosh the struggle being a fan of him is real.

The humor is enjoyable for me. And fit with my tastes. But there is no depth when the lightheart comedy take the center of the plot. And i really confuse in the middle of this drama what it's all about? At first I think this drama is all about a gold and it's connect to the WUsang and Babel group and waiting for the climax to happen. But It's not after all??? And then I though this drama is all about revenge to Babel group, but they switch the topic again, and its about the gold, and then next, it's about Babel Group again. Like They freakin confuse, let alone me. It's so disjointed

The main character has a hint to their past so we can connect to their struggle, past story, but it's nothing, it's just a tease. They seems like invisible character which we can hardly grasp and understand, always one step ahead despite they think they are always at disavantaged, but because they have vincenzo, they almost always win or either lucky.

Funnily, the writers seems write the villain more human and like they are main character by showing their struggle, and dynamics against vincenzo. I end up rooting for them to win. But they are supposed has to take down by our anti hero after all. So who is the main villain here?

The first 10 episode for me is one of the better rom com mainstream drama out there in terms of the way it's unfold. So many moment and situation that I can relate. The Struggle of the main character get written quite well, Name Dae Hyun and Saet Byul. The drama never lose track untul it hit episode 11 onwards. As If the writers doesn't have better option of how to solve the problem more cohesively. Unfortunately. really..... Since I really Love those first 10 episode about prejudice and conflict between different social class seems quite touch the reality. Since episode 11 onward, the drama despite has it's moment, the drama start losing it's momentum for me.

It's trying to depict many issue in High School environment, from bully, unfair treatment of student based on their social standing, the stress of to get the best score, etc, but they are just fail miserably. There is the tenstion for the sake of tension, at times preachy, but it's just a bunch collection of problem throw it you down of your own throat. The writers certainly doesn't has talent to match between romance, bromance and realistic conflict they arise.

But the good news is, This cast is the best casting compare to among other previous cast in school series in recent memory (well, compare to School 2013 and Schcool 2015). School 2013 and School 2015 has the same fail attempt to depict teenage environment in high school. But this School series has one advantage, is the cast and make the show become bearable.

The premise is intriguing. It's trying to explore people between humanity and trying to survive facing of prejudice in social class and status in society. It trying to explore about how much human would do in the worst situation in social standing, versus someone who already achieve so much, and has acknowledge high status in social standing. There is both opposite reaction between the way Soo Ah and Sae Ro Yi choose path in other to rise and being accepted and succcessful . And it's intriguing aspect in the narrative that never explore succesfully. It lack great effort to dig deeper and the writers certainly playing safe. Sae Ro Yi, someone who has so many handicap in earlier episode to achieve his goals, suddenly achieve so much and has so many advantage , so is the story, as if refusing to get deeper, and end up less believable. And in the end, they are losing track in the third act. . Some character action and development felt contrived and inconsistent. Well, After this, I really become appreciate a writers who attempt to write a very well written complex character, dare to take a risk in the myth of losing audience. Nice attempt though. I understand of what the writers want to convey, but it's just never reach the potential and feels less belivable in execution, in terms of writing and the direction.

But thankfully, the unconvincing plot get helped by the strong performances from Yoo Jae Myung and Ahn Bo Hyun, who make a really convincing villain, and a reliable acting from the rest of the cast. Or else skip this drama and don't wasting your time,

Another Jang Dong Yoon's fav drama of mine beside Just Dance. I'm so glad he choose this kind of drama as his debut on small screen. It's rare opportunity for an actor to have a good drama on their debut and moreover, become one of the leads.

This drama remind me of Class of Lies, setting in school with adding politics and melodrama element to add spice. I'm watching it the second time after I finished it, and still feels compelling and I got a new perspective, because the main addiction of this drama is the way the story told, the environment, and each character perspective, and Some of good performances. After I finished it, I think alot of it and the question of "what could have been" always ring in my mind. ANd that's an achievement.

The story and the plot is nothing special. The writing has up and down, The Lines and the way character evolved is not exactly brilliant. It's seems copy paste from the earlier melodrama of the past (yes, It has melodrama element in it) with has rom com touch in earlier episode and make it more approachable to audience who hate melodrama haha. But it's the performances of the ensemble cast that make me stay, along with the Director who at times brilliant executed the ambiance and create the chemistry. The chemistry between the cast also makes this drama enjoyable to watch (The power of the chemistry, heck not only the OTP. ).

There is some compelling narrative going on that makes me stay in the third act, but alas I think the writers is not interested to unfold it better.

This movie is Highly addictive, and after the second act, you can't even look away and find out how the movie unfold. I haven't watched the first 2 installment off Tazza. But watching the 3rd one makes me eager to watch it's predecessor. The movie acted by good ensemble cast with Park Jung Min as star among the young cast. The movie got darker and darker, and get too violent for my taste as the stories progress with so many backstabbing, revenge and betrayal , but you just can't look away. Very entertaining movie. But don't expect a nice character in here, because you will hardly find one.

Captivating and a complete addiction from start to finished. I was engrossed to the story till the end. I was glad I didn't watched it when it's airing and completed this drama in 4 days. This is how you create a thriller and create tension, complete with fascinating character. The investigation, while there is alot, only functional to take forward the plot and not dominating the story to the point make the story becoming dull and still giving room to each character. THe main of the attaraction is the character, the environment they face, and the tension. This drama will be awsome if it's more than 16 episode and take emotional depth of each character and unfold the conflict more engaging,, because there is too many interesting character and conflict they represent that will be awsome if it's more flash out. . despite of the conclusion the drama has, which unsatisfying for me, The journey is worth the watch.

ANd there is just some Promising young actor here who I wish will get the limelight to star in Leading Roles soon! Hopefully they will starring in even more interesting project.

One of the Best well spent Movie I've seen in 2019. I laugh, cried, thrilled and feel for the character. It reach it's full potential in terms of emotional ride, and the most awsome is not forget to insert the little detail into the narrative, make the story become richer. The idea is pretty common, but the execution is mindlowing and full of heart. Imagine if you are in heroes situation when you hardly trying hard in everything you do and you complain every single little thing. But you seems no longer care that much, until you are put in a dangerous situation when your life is on the line Off course, the execution is bit convenient at times. Nevertheless. do Well deserved admission record.
