Now this… this is a real bromance content!

I was debating with myself: should I rate this an 8.5 or a 9? When watching the 6th episode, I thought a 9 is a little too high, since I’m not really a fan of reality shows. This is my first adventure trip show, and I can’t really say I enjoyed everything here. Some parts are a little boring for my taste—like the driving parts or the animal hunting parts—but I just can’t skip those scenes! The casts were too good to be skipped, really! My favorite part of this show is the cooking parts. Oh how I love Chef Bong! Every night and every morning, these 4 boys would gather around like hungry hyenas cooking with whatever ingredients they have left, but would turn out like a masterpiece! Love love love every second of it!

After watching this show, I begin to think beyond what I watched. All this time, watching shows, I would just enjoy what was shown in the show. Never have I ever thought about how hard it is for the camera man, who had to follow around the casts everywhere, unable to enjoy the trip. These boys, are super thoughtful, and super kind, and I’m inspired by them when watching this show. They showed true bromance, and I can really feel their love for each other. It was those simple things they do for each other that touched my heart, and I’m so grateful that I get to see how kind they are as a normal person, not a celebrity. The feeling is so real in this show: you feel happy when they’re happy—like when they started the trip in the first place, or when they finally arrived at Victoria Falls, or when they eat something so incredibly delicious, or even when they fart around each other, and you feel sad when they are too—like when they poured their hearts out every night and that one time at Dune 45, or when they officially finished the shoot and had to go back home. I was so sad it was over, and I realized they wouldn’t get to meet with each other that often anymore.

I also want to give extra appreciation to the editors who add in all the captions. It was super informative, super entertaining at times, and super duper inspiring at the end. I have a soft spot for great endings, and that’s the main reason why I decided to rate this show a 9 instead of an 8.5. The captions, the touching flashback, the real bromance, what can I ask for more? This show healed my longing for Reply 1988, and I have to say this was my comfort show. After a long day, I just get to lay down in my bed watching these 4 boys enjoy their trip in Africa, and pretending that I’m there with them. This was a great great show I really recommend with you all! 감사하다!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Law genre at its best!

When I finished the first episode, I immediately thought of the similarity between this drama and the variety show ‘Busted’. This drama is basically the drama version and the longer version of Busted in my opinion. So if anyone of you loves that variety show, you definitely need to check this out!

There are a few things that surprised me while watching this drama (Fyi, I didn’t open MDL or even other links about this drama. All I know is that this drama has great ratings and many people loved it. I knew nothing about the storyline and only knew some of the casts that was going to be in it. And thankfully, I didn’t encounter that much spoilers on social media about this drama. So in conclusion, I had a little to no information about this drama before watching it.):

1. The one that surprises me most: The casts
Please don’t open MDL before watching this, because it’ll ruin the surprise (and a plot twist in some later episodes). I’m telling you this here to warn you all about the brilliant plot twist that left me speechless when I watched the episode.

2. The storyline
I’ve never expected this drama to be fully about murder mystery. Don’t get me wrong, I’m basically in love with anything about murder mysteries, but this drama just brought it to a whole new level. This drama doesn’t show you the perfect protagonist that could solve all the hidden mysteries flawlessly, or that one protagonist who always works alone and doesn’t need any help from others, but instead it shows you how the the main protagonist (Professor Yang Jong Hoon) really needs the help from his fellow professor (Professor Kim Eun Suk), his silly lawyer (Park Geun Tae), the funny photocopy guy (Sung Dong Il) and most importantly all his students (Kang Sol A, Kang Sol B, Han Jun Hwi, Seo Ji Ho, Jeon Ye Seul, Min Bok Gi and Cho Ye Bum). What’s better is how the drama shows you a super dedicated teacher who’s willing to do anything just to help all his students know better about the law. He’s discipline and unpredictable—he doesn’t care about anything else besides stating his point of teaching law to his students.

3. The genre
I expected this drama to be dark and serious, since most law dramas tend to be long and philosophical, and full of theories that doesn’t really stick to my head that long, but this drama managed to bring some good comedies in between the scenes—it was short, but it was rewarding. The first few episodes was pretty hard to watch actually, the dialogue were full of theories and all the actors were basically rapping all those theories out. But as you go on, this drama explained all those difficult theories by applying them to real cases where the viewers could understand the meaning of those theories easier. That’s what I love about this drama, and this is what differs them with other law dramas.

I’m a sucker for friendship dramas. This drama doesn’t really focus on the friendship, but the way all the characters team up to defend one another is just crazy great! Sol B’s character development was just executed perfectly, and she officially becomes one of my favorite characters here in this drama. This drama teaches you to be fair and just, and they teaches you (especially those who work/will work for the law) to not be affected emotionally while dealing with the law. Don’t let your emotions affect your decisions. This drama shows you the law from another perspective, and it was very exciting to watch!

The reason why I couldn’t give this drama an excellent score is because some of the scenes couldn’t really get my attention. I always loved the scenes where Sol A, Jun Hwi, Sol B, Ji Ho, Ye Seul, Bok Gi, Ye Bum is together, and all the scenes involving them coming up with a great plan, but the scenes with Ko Hyeong Su and the flashbacks with Seo Byeong Ju is rather boring for me. Nonetheless, the court scenes and the friendship scenes were super duper great! Great casting, great story and the cinematography was also spot-on! Overall, a 9.5/10 for me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“First love doesn’t necessarily have to be the first person.”

This movie is cute. It has breathtakingly beautiful scenes that were shot super perfectly. The casts were all so perfect, the main leads were full of chemistry, and they have the most beautiful visuals ever. Gong Yoo, Im Soo Jung, did a super awesome job in this movie.

However, it was a little confusing to understand what the directors and screenwriters have in mind. They make Gong Yoo play two characters, but at the same time, the main conflict, “Kim Jong Wook” isn’t his character after all. That was hard to understand at first, but thank God for MDL comments I get to finally understand what it meant.

The music. GOSH! It was beautiful!!! It has that Broadway musical vibes and OH HOW I LOVE seeing the scene of Im Soo Jung playing as the main actress in the musical! The music fits perfectly to every scene. Dreamy and romantic! I love it! Very very much!

The ending was super duper adorable! It was fluffy and cute, full of sweet moments of the main couple. And in the end, it was shown that fate or destiny will always find its way.

I had a great time watching this movie, and on top of that I enjoye watching Gong Yoo in a romcom movie! Overall, a 9/10!

Cuuute love story! ♥️

This was my first Kai Ko movie. I was interested in ‘You Are The Apple Of My Eye’, but I knew it was going to end sad, so I decided not to watch. Then I found this movie, bright coloured poster and seems fluffy enough to be a happy ending movie. I immediately watched it. And, I wasn’t disappointed at all.

The storyline of the movie seems a little weird. There are parts that seems to be edited out that made the movie felt incomplete in the mid-parts. But overall, I liked it. It was fluffy, no serious angst, although the conflicts are a little absurd. It delivers good messages though, don’t dwell on the past too long. Count 1-100, if the things you expect still doesn’t come out, move on.

Kai Ko and Jian Man Shu acted perfectly here! They portrayed such a lovable character and I totally love them! The old guy was also funny, so I guess he acted his role perfectly too.

So, overall a nice movie I recommend. If you want fluffiness without any serious angst, and cute scenes to make you smile and flutter, this is definitely for you! An 8.5/10 ⭐️

I came across this movie on tvNmovies and I was only interested to continue since I know that Chanyeol and Moon Ga Young’s gonna be there. I wasn’t expecting much from this movie, all I ever knew was the fighting scene so I thought that this was going to be comedy. But boooy, I was wrong! It’s a family movie that would leave you wondering of what happens next, and would make you tear-up in split seconds.

If you’re watching for Chanyeol, he’s more like a cameo, so don’t expect much from him. But if you do watch because of him, watch it until the end, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. The storyline has its own incredible plot twist, and I’m totally in love with it. I’m not really sure if it’s a plot twist or it’s already explained in the beginning because I stumbled upon this movie when it’s showing in the mid-part already...

The music, I’M IN LOVE!!!! There’s EXO’s ‘Don’t Go’ which is one of my favorite songs of all time! Aaand the instrumentals were just outstanding for me! Loved it!

Overall, a great movie I recommend! Prepare tissues for the end! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

a MASTERPIECE. enough said.

I’ve watched several titles of prosecutors, police officers, lawyers, but this drama, would be the most memorable for me. The male lead, who was the prosecutor, wasn’t “perfect” like what several other dramas often characterized. He had a super painful past, and he’s not always correct in every of his predictions. He failed several times, but got back up again and finally succeeded.

Although we didn’t see much of Hwang Si-Mok celebrating his success with the team, I’m super duper satisfied just seeing him smile at Han Yeo-Jin, it totally warms my heart. I hope, on the S2, we can see more of Hwang Si-Mok and Han Yeo-Jin scenes together! Great drama, super great storyline (although it’s somehow complicated with so much character names), excellent casts, and lastly, an OST that really matched.

Totally recommended, a 10/10 ⭐️ Can’t wait for the 5th season, Si-Mok-ah! See you there! ;)

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL OF YOU IF YOU NEED A SUPER SWEET (but not cringey) MOVIE TO WATCH! ;)

What can I say except AMAZING?! You’ll definitely smile, laugh and cry watching this movie, so prepare tissues you guys! Our Times would be my very first full-length romance movie I’ve ever watch my whole entire life and I love every second of it! I wasn’t actually the type to love something lovey-dovey or super fluffy because it can sometimes cringe me out, so I prefer not to watch it. Same goes for this movie, I was told that this movie was SUPERB, but I kept preventing myself to watch it, until today, after all the exhausting hours of school, I decided to watch it.

Darren Wang is super dreaaamy in this movie, ugh, I can’t even stand watching all those sweet scenes without squeaking like a little girl! <3 The acting was very excellent. What made me love this movie even more, is the level of relatable-ness to myself. Since I am a high school student myself, I can mostly relate to Lin Truly who’s insecure about herself, a hardcore fangirl, and also someone who can’t manage to confess her true hidden feelings for her crush.

Overall, a 100/10 for me. A truly-super-recommended movie for all of you who needs some little fluffiness during this boring quarantine season and also a dizzying school days! ❤️

Two words to describe the movie’s theme : father’s love.

I decided to watch this movie with a thought that it would be tense and serious, a law movie with a plot twist. But, as the movie go further, it began to be more and more likely to be a family movie, don’t get me wrong.. I enjoyed it! A super rich old man with a daughter, engaged with a mid-aged singer, the daughter hated her and then got involved with a murder case of his own fiancee.

The actors and actresses did very well in this movie, bravo! The story of the movie itself may seem a little complicated (you’ll get confused on who to suspect), and the character development could seem a little unclear for me. The ending is not really a happy-ending, but it’s super heartwarming and you’ll end up getting satisfied.

Overall, a 8.5/10 ⭐️, it may seem boring, but it’s totally not! Trust me ;)

DRAMA WITH THE BEST BROMANCE I’VE SEEN SO FAR :)

I started watching this drama because I was head over heels about Nam Goong Min after watching Hot Stove League, and I’m clearly not disappointed at all. I have to admit that the first 4 episodes are a little boring for me, but I made the best decision to still continue.

The story wasn’t really new, but it was unpredictable. The actors and actresses were spot-on, even though I don’t think they’re quite popular, the funny scenes didn’t fail to make me laugh, and the bromance scenes didn’t fail to make me melt either. What I thought was really great was how the story could balance the funny scenes, the emotional scenes, the serious scenes and made it into a very great drama.

Overall, 9.5/10. The reason why I couldn’t give this drama a perfect score was because there are some scenes that could be portrayed more entertaining, and some scenes that could have a more suitable background OSTs. But, overall this drama is seriously recommended especially for Hottests and Nam Goong Min fans out there! ⭐️

I was expecting a little more mystery and a little more action from the movie, actually. The first part to the climax was actually pretty good, but is a little complicated. Honestly, in the middle I was planning to not continue, but I was curious of who stole the little girl, and when I found out who, I was kinda disappointed because he wasn’t that evil after all the hard work.

I was touched by how pure Kim Joong San and Kong Gil Yong were at the end. How they managed to stay grateful without the “fame and credits”. It was shown at the end, when you stay low and humble, you’ll be given someone else to help you, eventhough it may not be someone famous, the media and all.

Inspired after watching the movie, 8/10 ⭐️

It doesn’t feel like a tvN drama…

I just finished this drama that I started about one week ago, and I really had high expectations for this drama. Although I didn’t know who else was in the cast except for Ra Miran, I just think this drama would be worth it because she was there. I really loved Ra Miran, and I adored how well she played comedy—it’s like she doesn’t even have to try to act funny, she’s just charming and all. However, her acting in this drama disappoints me a little. I don’t think it was her fault though, it was just because the other casts and the storyline wasn’t supporting her acting. But on the other hand, I loved Shin Dong Mi, Choi Byung Mo, Jung Youngjoo’s acting here!

Revenge are one of my favorite storylines of all time, and if you add comedy in it… it would most probably be my favorite drama ever. That was why I had so much expectations for Avengers Social Club. I expected it to be funny, but I didn’t find myself laughing because of it. I love woman empowerment as well, but this drama made it look like every men is wrong, and only women deserves forgiveness. It’s like all these FLs are willing to team up with any women despite once being rivals, but when it comes to the MLs, they would do anything to take revenge on them.

Besides the stiff acting of most of the casts, I just don’t think romance would fit this drama. I don’t like how it was portrayed, and I don’t like how it end as well. There was little to no chemistry in the romance bit, and I just think that it was better if it was never there. Rich women in K-dramas are great, but if they are shown to be reckless in spending money, arrogant, likes to belittle others, it’s a NO NO for me. I really hated Kim Jung Hye at first, and some other supporting roles, but I guess this drama succeeds in their character developments. What I was surprised about this drama is that even though it was not that great, they had the ability to make really good cliffhangers in every end of each episodes, it was super great!

Overall, a light watch, and quite entertaining to watch! It’s really a great decision to make it a 12-episode drama. An 6.5/10! ⭐️

This movie had the best rom-com I’ve ever seen in a Korean movie so far. There’s plenty amount of fluffy, sweet and romantic romance in this movie, but there are also hilarious moments that were amazingly stupid, but funny! I liked how this movie turned out. When I first saw the poster, I thought it was about a couple catching the bad guys, however this movie is actually about a cop falling in love with the criminal! Never have I thought this movie would give the rom-com vibes I’ve searched for in Korean romcom movie! Rom-com in an action movie? This movie made it possible. Those genres were poured out perfectly in this movie. Everyone did a great job acting out their characters, and the music were great too!

If you’re searching for an anti-mainstream sweet rom-com, this is definitely for you! Silly, sweet, romantic, super duper hilarious. Totally recommended! Overall, a 9.5/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WOULDN’T HAVE WATCHED IT IF IT WASN’T FOR DARREN WANG...

This movie served some REAL VISUALS of Darren Wang! What’s better is that, Jackson Wang’s ‘Papillon’ was made as an OST! #ahgasehere :) But I must say that this movie disappoint me at some point. I expected this movie to be the fun and comedic spy type of movie, but the storyline was rather absurd.

I’ve seen many reviews saying that this movie would be a little comedic, but I don’t find myself laughing for the whole 2 hours. The CGI effects were also too much... The acting skills, the storyline, was just not meant for me. The non-Chinese actors and actresses were not that good in my opinion.

Overall, a 5.5/10 ⭐️ I mean, who’s not down for Agent Darren Wang, right? ;)

CRAZY UNPREDICTABLE PLOT TWIST!!!

I love love love a great thriller. Especially when it comes with a good plot twist. When my friend told me that the plot twist was shocking in this one, I knew I had to watch it immediately.

I’ve tried watching Korean movies and dramas below the year 2012 and I don’t think it’s my cup of tea. This movie was from 2003 but it was surprisingly easy for me to watch. The acting, the BGM, and man… the storyline were satisfactory. I’ve seen a lot of thrillers with plot twists which means I’m pretty great at guessing on what comes next, so if I couldn’t guess it, that means it’s great. All in all, an 8.5/10 for me! The ending could be summarized better, but the movie was great!

A PERFECT 10 STARS! ???

I always loved revenge plots, whether it’s comedy or thriller. This drama just gave me everything I’m looking for in a revenge plot. I haven’t finished K-dramas in a long time—even Mouse can’t make me this addicted and entertained—so for me to be able to finish this drama is a miracle.

The ending was very much satisfying. Everyone gets their revenge, and every good person gets their happy ending. I must admit the first episodes of Part 2 isn’t the best compared to the 8 episodes on Part 1, but it was still great nonetheless. I’ve read how some people think Lee Do Hyun’s character isn’t really necessary, but I personally think the romance is a cute little addition that could balance out all the violence and gore.

The acting… JAW-DROPPINGLY EXCELLENT. Everyone acted SO SO GOOD. I can officially say this is the one K-drama with no bad actors and actresses. The music… EXCELLENT. Everything about this drama is excellent. Just super great. Super duper recommended! 10/10 ?
