Empress Ki Had It All—Until It Didn’t
I really loved Empress Ki,at least for the first, say, 37 episodes. It starts off as a bold, compelling historical drama with so much going for it: sharp political commentary, deep questions about nationalism, identity, citizenship, and the role of an outsider in a dominant system. It explored class, immigration, the economy and did so with emotional depth and nuance. And don’t even get me started on that love triangle. Hands down one of the most devastating I’ve seen in K-drama.The cast? Impeccable. Ji Chang Wook’s portrayal of the flawed, infuriating, and vulnerable emperor was both maddening and strangely endearing. Ha Ji Won as Nyang delivered a powerhouse performance—absolutely a tour de force. But honestly? The true scene-stealers were the villains. Tana Shili and Yong Chul have career defining performances and I’m glad she got a Baeksang . She was electric.
Wang Yu, the perfect, noble king/crown prince—was such a steadying force. He mirrored the inner worlds of all the characters, grounding the story with dignity and purpose. And let’s not forget the beautifully layered supporting cast: TalTal , Baek An, and so many others wove a rich tapestry of drama, loyalty, betrayal, and survival.
So with all this… why do I give it a 5/10?
Because somewhere along the way, the drama lost the plot. Literally. It veered very hard into makjang territory and logic, continuity, and character arcs were sacrificed at the altar of shock value. Characters were killed not for narrative weight, but just because. Twists were inserted just to keep things “exciting,” but they undermined everything we had come to know and feel. I was so unbalanced in the end that
People who were once richly developed started acting completely out of character. Values were thrown out the window. We were being asked to forget everything we knew and just accept wild, chaotic plot turns. I blame poor writing for this. The time jumps were awkward at best, completely jarring at worst. They didn’t feel like bold storytelling choices—they felt like a panic move, a desperate effort to avoid filler by throwing in absurdity.
And then there was the final episodes .After so many deaths, gut-wrenching scenes, and tragic arcs, stories were failing to land the emotional punch they were aiming for. It felt hollow, even farcical at times. Characters suffered so needlessly it felt less like tragedy and more like punishment. You’d think the main cast had committed war crimes in a past life for the amount of misery they endured.
It’s frustrating because Empress Ki had everything it needed to be a 10/10 drama. And for much of it, it really was. But the descent into chaos in the final act left me more heartbroken than satisfied.
That said, if you’re in it for a sweeping, dramatic, edge-of-your-seat ride with unforgettable performances, this is definitely worth your time. Just don’t expect narrative cohesion by the end. It’s a flawed epic—but still an epic nonetheless.

Cinema that marries intelligence with emotional depth
The Spy Gone North offers a very finely crafted cinematic experience, blending nuanced storytelling with deeply emotional undertones that resonate long after the screen fades to black.Set against the backdrop of a politically charged era, the film masterfully navigates the complex landscape of the National Intelligence Service's shenanigans as well as the intricate and often tense relations between North and South Korea. This is espionage storytelling at its finest—deciding to forego the typical high-octane action sequences for a more intellectually stimulating and magnanimous approach. The screenplay is a work of art in itself, demanding the viewer's undivided attention; a momentary lapse of looking at that Whatsapp message could mean missing a crucial piece of the intricate narrative puzzle.
The performances are nothing short of stellar, with the cast delivering their roles with a compelling authenticity that adds depth to the already rich narrative. Complemented by a great musical score, the film not only entertains but also provokes thought, making a significant statement that lingers .
In summary, "The Spy Gone North" is not just an exceptional film within its genre but stands as a formidable entry in the espionage genre. It holds its own alongside classics like "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," and I fully believe it has the makings of a future cult classic. This film is a must-watch for aficionados of the genre and anyone who appreciates cinema that marries intelligence with emotional depth

An approachable crime drama with deep compassion
Tunnel is a very good watch that recommends itself well enough . It’s cast is compelling , it’s story dynamic and it’s themes full bodied .There’s absolutely nothing bankrupt about Tunnel. In fact , it’s quite the enriching experiencing . I learnt quite a lot about criminology and the psyche of killers and I also saw a full illustration of how loss can vividly affect the overall human experience which made Tunnel touching.
The plot / story is quite convincing too for a crime show . The crimes depicted ,though fantastical ,are humbly solved with intention and compassion and I applaud Tunnel for not going overboard in the miracle antics that law enforcement tend to have in shows and movies . We see the police fail , make bad calls and attain bitter sweet triumph.It made the drama quite down to earth and approachable .
I did find components of the cast quite heavy handed and that didn’t balance well with the humility that Tunnel was going for . Choi Jin Hyuk’s Park Kwang Ho was grating and overbearing whilst Lee Yo Young’s Shin Jae was irritatingly complacent in the face acting department. However , Yoon Hyun Min’s Kim Seon Jae was AHMAZING . Beautifully acted and emotively employed . I look forward to seeing him in dramaland . The supporting cast was near perfect too.
On the other hand , its use of flash backs was not seamlessly done and it did get weary in the end almost veering on sloppy . The time travel mechanics were decent enough and realistic with what they were working with and the plot unraveling and twists were exciting !
OVERALL- it’s a decent watch with flaws and all but it at least says something!

A total first rate movie
I discovered this movie after I read a very comprehensive article on MDL from a fellow user.I have always been very much interested in pieces that depict corruption and upper class ills that result in social tragedies. I find them intriguing and when they are done well, they usually become my favourite pieces of television and film in the end. I like them because these types usually present humans in their most empathetic that is :liable to make mistakes ,prone to corruptible personality elements and people that tragically get caught up or even worse ; giving into the throes of villainy. If you are like me and enjoy these aspects - then one can watch and perhaps endure this 3hr first rate movie called Inside Men.
Its title is practically the movie and its heroes are your anti heroes . No one is really good in this movie or pure as snow. The villains are particularly socially nasty and the protagonists are just looking to survive in the cut throat world that they find themselves in . Its got political aspects to it as well.
The acting was amazing especially from Lee Byung Hun whom I have just discovered and I am pleased to know that he made award history with his role scooping up three prestigious film awards in one season!Jo Seung Woo who was co lead came in with some slow burning pathos that blows you away in the end . Baek Yoon Shik also came in slow burning though that quickly turns to something seething. The crowning moment was definitely the acting.
Though the movie is quite nearly perfect- I do wish its dialogue was more quick , pregnant and pronounced to match with the overall quality of the movie. One does not go away with the idea that they have watched something profoundly dynamic but rather something flawless albeit with no charm.
Therefore - I would not be surprised if one may find this a watch like Argo also known as "this is a good movie that is also boring".Its the only film that comes to mind to explain this vibe. Some loooooooove Argo and others have misgivings . I hope you like Inside Men when you watch!

It has everything going for it albeit a wet cardboard of a female lead
A Gentleman’s Dignity sparks some conflicting feelings for me.Let me first start with the positive . This is a very funny show. I literally laughed out loud in every episode and I can watch a comedy stone faced. The F40 are comical , immature but ironically enlightened. They know life is tough and for that reason ,they refused to grow up . So to remedy their dilemma - they each decided to live life as uncomplicated as they knew how but ironically invited in complication much to the comical amusement of the story.
The male cast is superb with Jang Dong Gun exquisite and dashing as always and Kim Min Jong adding just the right balance of somber yet funny. Special mention to Kim Su Ro with his physical performance which almost ended in a shout or tussle and Lee Jong Hyeok interpretation of Jung Rok left me in stitches 99.9% of the time. Their friendship was goals .Male cast was SOLID.
As for the ladies - oh dear ! I know bad acting , irritation , stiffness and just overall itchiness because I saw Kim Ha - Neul act as Yi Soo. Terrible . And her presence is the sole reason why A Gentleman’s Dignity does not score a 10/10 in my book. As for the other ladies Yoon Se - ah was vaguely commendabke if we are to be kind and Yoon Jin - yi was equally vaguely appreciated . Female cast was WEAK.
There’s also some some typical KDrama weary sadness spun in there that put me off a bit . Plus I had a tendency to drop it and come back after a while .Its so predictable so it doesn’t keep you on your feet but it’s a rare species in the K Drama field so that sort of made up for it.
BUT JANG DONG GUN SAVED THE SHOW.PERIOD,
Another reason why I rate it highly is because the ending is satisfying and touching . I was very happy for everyone that I did shed a tear.
The music was excellent and the story arches flowed quite naturally . The OST is actually one of my favorites to date.
As for rewatch value - conflictingly enough , the rewatch capital is quite strong. Just fast forward the Kim Na Heul when she’s by herself and one may be fine because this show was funny , stylish and cute.

Neo Noir done in a pop culture friendly way
"A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. Such a victory negates any true sense of achievement or damages long-term progress."The Worst of Evil is truly a study of the psychology of a Pyrrhic victory.
It is a very , very, good watch and nothing to sniff at. I applaud the ease of the theme presentation and the accessibility of the watch , something that is very hard to do with morally ambiguous characters but this drama nailed it .
The watch is strenuous and far from a kick back watch . It is unrelenting in its brawn and dark in its resolve . I highly appreciate how all that unflinching and unrelenting darkness never let up for a second and was beautifully woven in the music , the acting and the dialogue.
I rate it an 8.5 because its definitely more than good but there is really nothing new being explored here. Its exploration is also not that novel but for what it is- its a wonderful drama worth a watch with standout performances by Ji Chang Wook, Bibi and Im Se Mi. I was not particularly blown away by Wi Ha Joon as I should have . I think he doesn't have the depth just yet to handle 4D characters like the gangster Jang Gicheul. I think a Woo Do Hwan (since they have a similar look) would have delivered that heart wrenching humanity coupled with a searing darkness. Wi Ha Joon made it very obvious he was playing a role.
Other than that - a very enjoyable drama with a lot of tension and thought provocation and soul stirring moments.

Candy Floss Romcom with a tug of commentary
King the Land is one of those easy watches that will have you smiling like a kid in a candy store.It makes no pretenses about itself and unapologetically commits to the fluffy rom com tropes with all the trappings of umbrellas, theme park rentals and magical appearances to save the female lead. And with all of that fluff - it still manages to touch on issues like classism, elitism and sexism in the service industry which I found so self-aware of the script.
While the ratio of plot to character is arguably thin ( those who say zero plot also have merit) the charm of the drama is the charisma of chemistry existing amongst all the leads and the drama makes very good use of this charm. The push and full factor runs very strong because of this making it an all round very pleasant watch that emits joy. Seriously - I was smiling throughout so top marks for that.
So why does it score an 8.5 and not a 9 or 10? Simple- though the show is a light hearted comedy at its core , I could not overlook that I felt baited at times into thinking it was going to get deeper into an issue/problem ( which were serious motifs by the way) only for it to fizzle out. Thematic resolution was thus quite weak and having the identity of being fluffy is not an excuse for not resolving pertinent themes presented.
Otherwise - the drama is amazing, Lee Jun Ho is captivating as Gu Won , Im Yoon A is greatly improved in her acting skills and the supporting cast was wonderful! No complaints. The music is great too and has entered my daily rotation too .And the visuals were top notch.
Shoutout to the presentation of Gu Wom and Cheon Sarang too- the most natural dating couple I have seen that was not prudish. Very rare in dramaland.
Overall- would not be surprised if this was a future rom com GOAT in time .

It’s a trope fest so you gotta appreciate tropes to actually see this drama for the beauty it is.
As the headline states - to be honest with you , it is a real trope fest ! I’m talking chaebol, fate,noble sacrifice, second bananas, rich and poor etc . The whole shebang !I really appreciated the tongue-in-cheek honesty and found this refreshing.As for my review- This is a really fluid watch hence the utter high marks I give it .Its not strenuous in the slightest nor is it frustrating. To me , fluidity and the feelings aroused are very important points in my drama forays. WWWSK passes it all.
STORY- well , the synopsis is not much to chew on and I advise those wanting to watch to go in with the low expectation the synopsis provides. You will be surprised by the elements that this drama brings. What you see is also not what you get as well in regards to the OTP.It really isn’t all about a secretary and her boss but let me keep quiet before I spoil. I especially loved its honesty in knowing it was a trope filled rom com and I loved the truthfulness of spinning each trope (knowingly with a wink to the viewer) on its head . I loved how the story was really inclusive of the viewer .I almost felt like a cast member hence WWWSK is engaging . It’s a bright , fluffy and really entertaining watch. The elements of it being based on a web toon added the X factor to the refreshing aspect of WWWSK.To juxtapose - I like the seriousness and thoughtfulness that the main leads incorporate .To be specific - I liked how the main OTPs actually listen to each other when they express feelings or opinions,. There are no plot holes and everything is all very satisfying. Such stellar romantic quotes and flooring declarations plus revelations enough to make you swoon to the gods. Moreover - the subsidiary stories were fun to watch hence the 10.
ACTING - lovely! For once not a stiff wooden female lead and I am soooo grateful for that . She actually closes her eyes when kissing ! In my view - the cast was flawless . They had so much energy and charisma plus geled really well together . The cast is dare I say almost iconic ? Like , I was nearly convinced they were actually really really firm chums in real life having a ball working together . Loved the expressive Park Min Young and the depth and charismatic range Park Seo Joon .
MUSIC - great OST . Loved every tune especially the poignant and profundity that is Its You by Jeong Sewoon. This song actually tells the whole story if one is paying close attention.
FASHION - 10 as well. All the outfits really communicated the characters portraits very well. The fun office girl wore shorts suits , the cutesy one wore baby doll blouses ,chaebol never really got casual etc you get the picture. Office wear was also done in a very approachable manner fit for any Pinterest board. Plus really loved all the accessories as well . Pretty earrings and great handbags . Young Jun’s suits were also really good though I loved his take on casual which wasn’t casual but really communicated the ethos of his character.
REWATCH - yes . I will definitely revisit sometime . It will be fun watching trying to figure out and pin point when and where exactly all the characters really fell for each other . Plus Park Seo Joon has really funny lines .
OVERALL- Personally a firm fave of mine . It’s going into my lists for fave dramas and OTPs . Perhaps the only critique I can give is that the final episodes did delve into some sort of fan service of some sort . Some may say towards the end there was no plot development but what do you want from a rom com ? A masked serial killer ? I personally want cute scenes and resolve and if it means an overload of pretty cute scenes that are actually coherent and reflective then bring on the fan service !
Go watch . It’s better than The Heirs which I dropped and found in its pathetic stead - this gem WWWSK. HA !

Strong start but weak progression
Love in the Moonlight is one of those dramas that are considered gateway dramas for most. I can see why and how it can make for a good first start in saegeuks , cross dress and just overall first k drama. It's approachable, youthful and cute.Be that as it may, it's not great and watches tiredly.
At first, it's lively balance of comedy, politics and romance was pretty well done that you will be tuning in for next 10 eps like I did. The female lead is tenacious, spunky and witty and she is surrounded by a cute crown prince and two very strong mysterious men who encompass the crown prince's friend group. The story surrounding why she cross dresses will pique your interest, so will the court intrigues surrounding the Premier and his dastardly tricks and some uprising that occurred before the show started. BUT even with all that, it got boring, wearisome and tiring.
I believe it's down to underwriting the main leads who just became puddles of their former glorious selves. The female lead lost her spunk and the main lead lost his grace. In fact, he became less understandable and pricklier which I found confusing. The trope for the prickly male lead is prickly in the first half and soft and self-sacrificing in the second half? No? Well, apparently, it's a no.
It even had some great and reflective quotes going for it but then they started saying some really cringe things. I did not like that inconsistency too.
The direction and editing were also annoying. There were so many pauses and focuses on their faces as they were staring at NOTHING. It got infuriating, I just dropped it.
OVERALL: There are far better youthful saegeuks out there that one can watch. i.e Moon Embracing the Sun . Sungkwan Scandal etc

Trope fest but surprisingly sound and good
I always say to viewers that are watching office romances that you have to enjoy the tropes so the drama can actually land. Same goes for school dramas- you have to appreciate the bullying tropes , love hate angles for the school dramas to really land .That being said - Secret Life of My Secretary is a typical office romance . Mean and ambitious boss who is secretly self sacrificing who has a secretary who is super diligent , embarrassing and reliable. TYPICAL but it goes above that and that was so surprising . It explores with delicacy conditions, forgiveness , patience and the virtue of being truthful and honest whilst outlining the stark emotive differences between honesty and truthfulness.
The main leads journeys regarding themselves and each other were refreshing and the warmness that this drama exuded was very refreshing . The subplots of the office intrigues brilliantly brought out the overall themes and it was very pleasant how this whole drama was handled.
The cast had great chemistry and every story was enjoyable . Particularly loved the second leads romance and the doctor .
However - it was not too swoon worthy but all basic and warm. Lets just say that I am not going to look for Youtube MVs of the couples . The music was also meh . That makes it score a 7.5 but a hot 7.5 leaning to a 8.
If you like an office romance - then this is definitely a handy one to have in your list !

A melo that is a bit meh
Took me a really long time to write this review because I have been contemplating whether I liked it or not and my conclusion is that its meh.I can totally see why this drama commands top marks . Its a super mature watch . It depicts life . It depicts unconditional love and depicts dignified poverty . Its super compelling with beautiful relationships of a familial nature .The two leads were phenomenal .It actually had something to say . I loved all that about it and thats why its gets 7 top marks as a watch.
As for the remaining three marks- the acting and writing had to pull it through over the meh mark to the brilliant mark and unfortunately , it did not have the capacity for that . Certain components of the cast over acted such as the two mature female leads and Ahn Ji Hoon was awful . In fact, what was the point of his character as the distant nephew/son in law in the first place?
Conversations were repetitive and drawn out . Sentiments did not evolve but instead found themselves in predictable and sappy territory. Which was disappointing because this show had portrayed itself as highly mature and clean but that was not the finished product.
Moreover . the pacing was just a bit off . Most things were a slow burn and then all at once all of a sudden .
Overall: Not a bad watch . Not a top tier watch though but it does enough to go the long haul.

A really , really , captivating watch.
Train to Busan was always on my watchlist but I felt really compelled to watch it now especially in these pandemic times . I’m so glad I did because it actually distracted me from the Covid- 19 news in a good way .I really think that what makes a good movie is it’s ability to engross you into its world unabashedly and entirely . A movie is really epic when it has you feeling its effects , motifs and themes on an emotive level . A movie is especially ground breaking when it offers perspectives illustrated uniquely and has you thinking about them long after the credits roll. All of that is Train to Busan .
This dystopian/ horror movie encapsulated my attention for its entire run . Great story build up with the father / child relationship remaining the core . It also had superb character progression that was fuel for really sad climaxes . I must also warn that there are a goodly amount of jump scares so be prepared!
I especially admired the use of a zombie contagion vehicle to transport the human elements at the core of this dystopian film . The commentary on selfishness, individualism , big corporation and community was very welcome and displayed that this movie had brains and heart .
Acting was superb with Gong Yoo leading the charge . The nuance he employed in this role was absolutely commendable and he once again , brought amazing pathos . Ma Dong Seok portrayed an extremely capable person so fluidly and Jung Yoo Mi was really compassionate in her performance. Supporting cast was great too and special mention to Choi Woo Shik .
Overall- it was a captivating and tense watch which scored big in my movie checklist . It’s engrossing , captivating and brilliantly simply done .

Relatively very pleasant but lacking in emotional resonance
The Master”s Sun is objectively, a very pleasant watch. The story is very easy to follow with great insertions of mystery , thrill , comedy , horror and romance . The writers really executed balance in all ways in this drama for sure.However, as I finish the title - I’m left with an overwhelming sense of lack lustre feelings . The romances were not that emotionally gripping , the love declaration scenes were not noteworthy. Moreover , I personally felt the romances were immature in nature . There seemed to be numerous misunderstandings but coupled with a lot of communication which did not make sense in the end. On the flip side - I do like how this drama had a period feel to it . Where one touch of the hand did more than a racy scene . That was nice . Plus the side romances are quite sweet too.
Then there were the ghosts . The format of ghost story of the week was plausibily engaging. But subjectively I was not a fan in the beginning and found sone of the ghost stories in the first half of the drama quite wearisome.
As for the acting - I wouldn’t say it was mind blowing but definitely special mention to Gong Hyo -Jin. She acted her part perfectly. The male lead was kind of lacking to be honest . The comedy was spot on but his emotional pathos seemed a bit trying which was odd because he was so great and tortured in I’m Sorry, I Love You. Perhaps it was his script that imprisoned his charisma.? Because he came across as stilted .
The music was lovely. Loved the sing along Touch Love and Hyorin’s Driving Me Crazy was beautiful.
I’m not a rewatch fan generally speaking but sometimes I can be swayed but not this time .
Overall- it’s actually a good show and I can see the hype surrounding it but subjectively speaking - I failed to see its emotional resonance .

It’s on another level for sure.
Samsoon was the first ever drama I ever watched however I was young at the time so I never quite fully appreciated this gem but at the time - I knew it was good .10 years later , I revisit it with fresh eyes , a more mature outlook and as a seasoned K Drama viewer to boot and I must say - this drama is legitimately top tier.
Its top tier because it followed through with everything they set themselves up for . Further more- it shot its shot and ran with their game in total sophistication, character and charisma . I can see how some will say it’s not exciting just like some say Friends is dry or How I Met your Mother is overrated . These shows do not have the in your face total full house of shots like the mainstream but instead are leagues of their own in the sense that they created their own tropes, motifs and symbols whilst still finding inspiration from the classic set pieces like in Samsoon’s case :the usual tropes of wrist grabbing , annoying ex’s and hate turns to love what not but it’s so greatly done . It has a luxuriant pace which is absolutely delightful.
Acting was great . Instant classic roles of Kim Sun Ah and Hyun Bin. I give it a 9.5 because Daniel Henney showed no dimension at all and it was particularly jarring in contrast with his talented cast. However overall , everyone else including the most minor character like Ki Bang were very good.
Music also does a lot to seal the deal with how iconic this show is. It’s use of French pop to accentuate the protagonists food endeavors was well done . Music should also tell the story of the drama an I felt this was particularly well done in my Lovely Samsoon. Moreover- American pop culture phenomenon songs like Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love to Mario’s Let Me Love You were refreshing . Aaaaaand of course Clazziquai’s She Is is just perfecto .
Overall, this is definitely in my top 5 of fave dramas, fave OTPs and fave female leads and male leads.
“One cup of coffee, five kilocalories. Equivalent to five minutes of kissing. What is the total calorie of all the kisses we sharede leads over three years? And the calories of love?”Rewatch is guaranteed .

It ticks every box and more .
Swoon.I watched You Who Came From the Stars (YWCFTS) purely because of the story line and boy was I not disappointed! I expect nothing less from men but a hot alien who has accumulated a wealth of knowledge , experience and literal wealth over the course of 400 years. That’s besides the point though.
I highly recommend this drama because the story line is very intriguing so a pull through is definite even for the picky viewers. The parallel arches of the two protagonists is very good and if you are a sucker for fate then this one is for the ages . The story is actually simple enough to follow and this is a K Drama with everything-. It’s a love story for the literal ages as it spans years , its a melodrama yet spiced with an evil chaebol villain and the social commentary on celebrity culture in Korea made this quite a wholesome story.. It has great morals and the script makes for great food for thought. I especially loved the comedy in this and was guaranteed a huge laugh which just makes this drama all the more approachable and quite good. To date - it’s one of the funniest dramas I have ever watched.
I think the highlight of this drama is how real and unaffected the female protagonist was written. She is not annoying in the slightest bit and everything she does makes sense albeit hilarious and there’s none of that noble idiocy that K Dramas seem to gravitate towards.There were some teeny plot holes that affected the rating of the story to be a 9.5 but nothing too major.
As for the acting and cast - very good. I could say perfect but going in I was a bit unsure about the compatibility of the two as the chemistry was a slow bubble at first and I think that’s down to Kim So Hyun baby face looks and Jun Hi Hyun elegant face which was a discrepancy at first but was actually perfect taken with context of the story. The casting directors really hit the jackpot with these two expressive actors ! Furthermore, supporting cast was great too . I particularly loved Park Hae Jin who plays the second lead and I plan to make it a point to watch his dramas.
The music is virtually non existent but what is there is perfectly fine.The instrumentals were stellar and flooring . What does take the space of the music is the stellar fashion. I was swooning for every outfit that the main cast wore . I actually take away a few styling quips from YWCFTS such as Lee Hwigeong’s ( Park Hae Jin) turtle neck and coat ensembles , Doo Min Joon’s (Kim So Hyun) structured coat collars and the ladies penchant for leather pants , belted blazers and tasteful sparkle . The fashion is a definite 10.
Rewatch value is a 10 out of 10 and I’m very stingy with rewatch value scores but I’m definitely watching the “severely beautiful” Cheon Song Yi and Do Min Joon again . There are some cult classic scenes and lines in this drama that are absolute gems to not be watched more than once .
Overall it was such a fluid watch and so much fun to watch too! And personally that’s what makes a good show in the end . Fluidity.
