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 🌟

A comedy that would leave you smiling for sure!
It's been so long since I could lay down in my bed watching Asian movies... and I finally got to do it again today, so I thought that "The Con-Heartist" was worth the try! And I don't regret it one bit! It was hilarious and sweet, and very very entertaining.This movie has the perfect main duo, Baifern, whom I know from "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and that famous Pantene commercial, and Nadech, Urassaya Sperbund's hot boyfriend. I'm not into Thais so I don't keep up with the celebrities, so having two actors I'm familiar with in one movie sounds amazing. The acting was amazing. They were naturally funny and oh my, finally... a comedy without actors overacting. The storyline's actually pretty simple and cliche, but since I really love revenge movies, this one is obviously up my alley. A bunch of comedy mixed with heist and a hint of romance created a perfect movie for me to watch.
I've lost my interest for Asian entertainment a few months back, and I think this movie might bring back my previous excitement. I've been too caught up with Western movies and uni and all and I needed something to boost back my love for Asian films, I'm glad I picked the right one today. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone in search of something light, entertaining and hilarious. Overall, a 9/10! ⭐

WHOA!
This is my first Korean movie in months! I’ve been in a K-drama/K-movie slump for such a long time and I didn’t know what to watch to end it. Until yesterday, a friend told me about this brilliant movie she just watched, “Forgotten”. When she told me that “the plot twist was amazing”, there’s no way I wouldn’t watch the movie! Plot twists are always my favorite!This movie was super unpredictable. I thought I could’ve guessed the plot twist, but dang… I was so wrong! The acting was spot on! Kang Ha Neul and Kim Moo Yeol deserved awards for this movie! Just. Brilliant. The music was suspenseful and everything was just perfect!
I would recommend this to anyone who’s searching for a suspensful mystery/thriller with DOPE PLOT TWISTS! Overall, 9 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Heartwarming stories of 4 couples during the New Years!
As soon as I saw the cast, I knew I need to see this film! This film is filled with a list of my favorite actors and actresses and I’ve always loved seeing films that have actors and actresses I’m familiar with. In addition, I was eager to see Chen Du Ling in a Korean movie since I loved her in Left Ear!The film was good—it was heartwarming, sweet and nostalgic. I really love a Christmas/New Years film as they are both my favorite holidays and it brought back all the good memories I always have on that particular days. The feelings depicted in this movie was great! The romance were not too overly romantic, and it was the perfect amount of sweetness and angst. The warmness radiated from the endings of those 4 incredible stories were perfect! If I had to put those 4 stories in sequence from my most to least favorite, it would be:
1️⃣ Han Oh Wol & Kim Rae Hwan (Choi Soo Young & Yoo Teo)
2️⃣ Lee Hyo Young & Kang Ji Ho (Yoo In Na & Kim Kang Woo)
3️⃣ Oh Young Chan & Yao Lin (Lee Dong Hwi & Chen Du Ling)
4️⃣ Min Jin Ah & Lee Jae Hun (Lee Yeon Hee & Yoo Yeon Seok)
Oh Wol-Rae Hwan and Hyo Young-Ji Ho’s stories were both my favorites since their stories were clear from the beginning. They both had a clear and a reasonable problem and they came up with the perfect solution to it. On the other hand, Young Chan-Yao Lin didn’t seem like they were both meant for each other. Their story became much better because of Young Chan’s super supportive and silly sister, Yong Mi (Yeom Hye Ran). The same goes to Jin Ah-Jae Hun’s story—I thought I was going to like this couple’s story best, but I just didn’t feel the chemistry between the two.
But overall, the director managed to give us 4 beautiful endings and a nostalgic firework and countdown scene which made this movie a whole lot better! Definitely recommended to watch with your loved ones (preferably during the end of the year to get the holiday season vibe!) An 8.5/10 for me! ⭐️

I expected more from this, but I clearly wasn't disappointed :)
I downloaded this waaaay back last year, and I was saving this movie for my romance marathon if I'm free, or in other words saving this movie since it's the last romance film I have left with Darren Wang as the main lead! I still can't move on from Our Times, and I wanted my obsession over Darren Wang to last. But today I was totally in the mood to watch this film, so here I am writing this review after watching.I've always loved cliche movies, especially those romance movies with so much angst but ends with fluffs. So I was definitely looking forward to watch this movie: the typical female chases cold male lead first, but he finally realizes that she was the one. So cliche, but so my type! Honestly, I was expecting more angst from this movie, but the story just goes up and down, with the comedy, the angst, the romance, it was a little messy if I must say. The characters were a little confusing as well, and they were portrayed "indecisive". A little annoying, but it was okay.
For me, the acting was okay. Darren playing as the cold main lead would always be my favorite, but Jelly's acting here seems a little over for me. I totally get it that she needs to act as a cheerful, lively, innocent, a little stupid female lead, but the crying scenes were just over the top.
Overall, it's a sweet romcom I definitely recommend, an 8/10 for me! ⭐⭐⭐

Cute, but boring.
I was searching for a romcom to watch and I stumbled upon this movie. I was always hesitant to watch older movies but I gave this a try anyways. It’s not bad, but it’s not that good either. The storyline is pretty much predictable, but cliche in this movie is a bit draggy. Kwon Sang Woo was the main reason why this movie is bearable. Gong Yoo was funny too but it’s a shame he only appeared in a few scenes.Despite the sort-of-annoying-old hairstyle of the FL and the exaggerated action scenes, I’ll probably recommend this if you want to relax, also smile from some sweet, romantic scenes. Or if you need an eye cleansing after a long day of school or work, because Kwon Sang Woo will solve it all! Pretty good, 6/10!

The story is SUPER CLICHE. You know what’s going to happen next. The typical CEO falls in love with his assistant kind of story. Even though it’s really predictable, really cheesy, the languages bother me sometimes, the acting wasn’t that great either, I’m super in love with the music. That’s one of the reasons that made me stay throughout the whole movie.
Overall, an 7.5/10. Super cute but on the other hand, cheesy and predictable. If you can handle the overflowing amount of fluff and a hint of angst, this is for you!

EXTREMELY FUNNY MOVIE WITH GOOD ACTION!
W.O.W! Where do I even begin? Never have I imagined this movie to be this good. Most of action-comedies failed to impress me, but this movie proves me wrong. The plot was so clear right from the very start. It wasn’t draggy nor was it boring. It was super duper extremely funny, and I knew that this was my kind of comedy movie.All the casts did a really really great job portraying each of their characters. Every one of them was super entertaining and super hilarious, they all also did a good job with the action scenes! Lee Ji Won and Jung Joon Ho reunited again after Sky Castle, and I’m very well impressed by Lee Ji Won’s natural comedic acting! *standing ovation*
Overall, a 9.5/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you need some lighthearted, super funny movie with a great plot and great casts... THIS IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU!

Actually interesting and fun to watch!
To start off, let me just give a big round of applause to whoever pick up the casts! Because this movie has some dope actors and actresses! First off there’s Lee Jung Jae, BoA, Lee Sung Min, Shin Ha Kyun, Choi Woo Shik, Son Ho Jun, Ra Mi Ran, Kim Ui Seong and Bae Seung Woo! WOW the line up is just AMAZING.If you’re looking for a comedy movie, this isn’t probably what you want. Yes, there’s some pretty good comedy (mostly in the first half) but there’s so much more action in this movie. So, it’s mainly action in my opinion. BoA actually did a good job acting out her first role in a movie, although her acting was quite stiff at first, her action scenes were very good!
Overall, a great movie I’d like to recommend! Bless your eyes with great visuals of Lee Jung Jae and have some great enjoyment watching this mostly-action-comedy movie! I was actually trying to rate this 8.7 or 8.8 but MDL won’t let me... so... 8.5 it is! ⭐️

I would’ve cried rivers watching this movie if I was alone, however my cousins and grandpa was there to watch this movie too. I was quite shocked to see my family getting this much interest in Korean films, but I was proud of it. I knew from the very start that this movie wouldn’t end happy. Especially after watching Hi Bye Mama, I’m really sure of how this movie is going to end. Surprisingly, I’m still interested in watching this movie. I loved the ending. The movie showed how Jung Woo Jin was pretty much a loser at first, and his son was just unable to do things on his own. My take upon this movie was that Im Soo Ah came back down to them to say goodbye properly this time, and to teach them how to do things on their own, especially when it’s time for her to go back to the Clouds. The last few minutes of the movie showed everything in Soo Ah’s point of view, while the whole first half of the movie showed the couple’s love story from Woo Jin’s point of view. And when Woo Jin was once a loser, the ending showed how he was now able to overcome goodbyes.
The romance isn’t cheesy at all, it was touching and beautiful. The music reminds me of ‘A Whole New World’ and I enjoyed it!
I love Gong Hyo Jin and Park Seo Joon cameo appearance! Overall, a 9.5/10! Definitely recommended for all of you who need some tearjerking romance, with a beautiful bittersweet ending ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh Nara carried the show!
I guess this drama would be so much better if it was made into a 2 hour long movie. It’s a good thing that it wasn’t a 16 episode drama, but it still felt too long for me. I needed to speed it up to 1.75x when watching the episodes.The story is cliche, pretty much like ‘Knives Out’ mixed with ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. It’s not really a plot twist if I may say, since I was able to predict who’s the main culprit at the end. So, I think the story wasn’t as spectacular as I once expected. However, I love the friendship created at the last 2 episodes, how everyone agreed on something together and made an awesome teamwork kinda stuff! I also love the mother-daughter bond!
The acting was so-so. I don’t really know much about the actors and actresses here, except for Oh Nara, Kim Hye Jun and Kim Jung Young. Oh Nara was excellent as usual, she’s naturally funny and incredibly talented in acting. The rest of the actors and actresses which I don’t know did a pretty good job! They succeeded in making me annoyed with their facial expressions and even their portrayal of the story.
Overall, a good drama, but definitely not the best. 6.5/10 ⭐️

Whoooa... what a ride - an awesome ride. I had the privilege to watch S2 without even waiting for years. I finished S1 not long ago and immediately started S2. And for me, this is better than S1. Why?The storyline were clearer, each person has their own stories to tell which I think may be boring for some people and the storyline would be so much slower too, but for me it adds up the point for this drama. I don’t think I really enjoyed Lee Yeon Jae’s story, but the else was just really outstanding for me! There are some scenes that made me teary-eyed as well, when there is none actually in S1. The ending was really satisfying too. We get to see Hwang Si Mok smiling so freely now.
The actors and actresses is no doubt. They were a SUPER DUPER OUTSTANDING. They portrayed the story so beautifully, and it just WOWED me to the point I can’t move on. The only sad thing about this drama is that I think it has lesser scenes of Hwang Si Mok and Han Yeo Jin because they’re rivals in this season. But dont worry, nothing can break their relationship at the end! ;)
I really really wish S3 would come back soon... I can’t really move on fast from this drama because it is THAT GOOD. Trust me, it may seem boring for the 4 first episodes, but when you reach the 5th it gets better and better till the end. I hope Han Yeo Jin would reunite with her old team, Seo Dong Jae will rise back up again, Hwang Si-Mok will work with Kim Ho Seob once more, Kang Won Cheol would still be in the story too and lastly, for everybody to reunite and join forces to make Korea great again.
Overall, a solid 10/10. I could give this a 100/10 anytime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A total disappointment... Don’t watch this with an expectation as high as Train to Busan...
I’ve read a couple of reviews regarding this movie, and many were disappointed. I thought that it wouldn’t be that bad since Kang Dong Won and Lee Jung Hyun are going to act as the main characters, but... I was wrong. It was THAT BAD.The movie started of okay for me, but it gets super boring in the middle until the end. Even the ending was super slow and the whole storyline was quite absurd. It could’ve been made shorter, but instead it was a whole 2 hours of movie.
Overall, a 5/10. I don’t think I’m going to rewatch this movie ever again...
