So I hated this show, the only positive thing I have to say about it is that it's short if it was longer I would have dropped it. The female lead destroys this show she is almost unbearable to watch. She has the backbone of a jellyfish and the personality of a rock. She is the definition of a damsel in distress always needs a big strong man to come save her from other guys who are trying to hit on her. The Male lead isn't much better same lack of personality. They have no chemistry and when there relationship goes to the "mature" parts they look like two robots who don't understand how human mating works but are trying it out. Their relationship has no development and this drama really doesn't even have a story. It's just girls get grabbed/hit on by guy the male lead saves her happy ending. Rinse and repeat till the end

This show is one of the biggest waste of potential I have ever seen. The concept for this show is so unique and interesting, it could be taken in so many interesting direction. However, this show decides to tell the same cookie cutter love triangle story line, with some of the most unlikable characters I have ever seen in drama's. Now I've watched shows with unlikable characters, I've watched show with stupid characters but never have I watched a show where all three of the main leads are unlikable and stupid at the same time. All of them make stupid selfish choices and when they come to regret them they make no effect to fix anything and wallow in their own self pity. Also that ending wasn't and ending nothing ended in the story there was no closer therefore it can't even be called an ending. It was a cliffhanger for the second season however, with these character's I'm not sure if I'll waste my time with the second season

This show had a a lot of hype behind it and I was excited. However, maybe it was over-hyped and I was a little underwhelmed. The concept is great and right up my alley. At hotel who's clientele is ghosts sounds like it would make for super interesting story lines. The cast does a great job IU is the highlight. She embodies this women who has been trapped so well and her story line is the best part of the show. Though the other ghost staff is also great. The set design of the hotel may be my favorite part of this show it is just gorgeous I could just watch the scenes in the hotel on mute. What really lets this show down is the episodic ghost story lines. The show choices to divide each episode between the main story and the ghost of week story and in those is were the show falls flat for me. I just didn't are about these ghosts the characters were trying to help. Also the episodes were a bit to long I feel like they could have cut some unnecessary parts and made an solid 60 minute show rather then 80-90 minutes that drag.

taecyeon playing a crazy CEO serial killer pretending to be a naïve lawyer is by far the best part of the show but I literally hated everything else. Vincenzo is a self impressed self righteous sum bag with thinks he's hot shit when he's just as bad as the villain's and not even half as fun. does terrible shit and facing no consequences for his actions and is honestly rewarded for all the bad things he does. the female leads and the tenants of the apartment building are all in a different show. the tine is all over the place. not fun the only thing I cared about was taecyeon and anything he was doing he's the only reason this was not dropped

I went into this show with no expectations, didn’t even read the description based on recommendation and honestly this show surprised the hell out of me. I was in love with it from start to finish and could not stop watching. The concept in so unique and bring new life and energy to style of drama that I feel has gotten stale and overdone recently. The direction and the turn the story takes genuinely surprised me and I could not wait to see where it went. Yes, there are aspects of this show to nitpick the overacting in some parts can be annoying for some. However, like any amazing show I was so engrossed with the story and in love with the characters I didn’t care about the nitpick flaws. You feel such empathy with these characters that you just can’t help but want them to succeed and live free lives. This is one of the stand out drama’s of 2019 and a new favorite of mine.

This show was a amazing surprise. The plot was incredible and so layered. It's an amazing balance of drama, tragedy, mystery, and comedy, it even manages to handle the crime plots extremely well. It keeps the tension and suspense high but also knows when to bring in a comedic element or scene. The character are all dynamic and fully realized. All of them are different and each bring a different perceptive to this story. Also they are 3 dimensional and don't rely solely on cookie cutter characterization. All the character go on their own journey throughout the show and grow and change in their own way. The adults were unsurprisingly great but I also want to highlight the actors who played the teen roles they really did a great job bring these characters to life and making them feel believable and like real teens. Overall, it's a 10/10 for me It kept me interested and engaged the whole time. It's the perfect balance of trilling and high tension but knows when to slow down and let the audience breath. I truly amazing show that I think people will remember for years to come.

At the very start I was really on board with this show. The story sounds interesting on paper and the actors where doing their best with the materiel that was given. However, as the show when on it took a turn. This show has an interesting plot on paper whoever, I feel the writers didn't really know what to do with the plot and character after the two leads got together the first time. After this the show devolves into someones does not like the two main leads relationship two leads fight break up for the episode, make up get back together and then break up again the next episode. Repeat this for about 10 episodes. Toward the end of the series the writers also decide to throw in a bunch of cliche drama story plots instead of doing anything to advance the couples relationship. The only character that felt actually had good character development and changed into a better more well rounded person is the second male lead. Overall this show isn't bad just a little boring and had wasted potential. If you're in the mood for a swimming drama just watch My Mr. Mermaid instead

If you have ever wanted to see YG artists on an episode of the office then you'll like this show.

This show has a very good premise and seeing YG artists in these outlandish situations can be really funny.

Overall I enjoyed the acting but you can tell that some of the cast is far more experienced than others especially with the idols. It is very clear that some of these idols are not actors. Seungri is the stand out of this show and I found that his performance was the most compelling.
However my biggest issue with the show was the comedy. This show is entirely focused on comedy and for me some of the jokes just didn't land.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show way more then I imagined I would. It's over the top and kind of cartoony but that cheesiness is what brings the show it's charm. It kind of reminds me of Nancy Drew or the Hardy boys.

Is it some kind of masterpiece no but that is not what it set out to be. What it's trying to be is a short little web drama about high school detectives who solve little mysteries and sometimes you just want a show you can finish in a day between watching some more intestine things. If you go in expecting that then you'll have a wonderful time.

This is by far the best BL drama I've ever seen and has a place in my heart as one of my most favorite drama's I've ever seen. I feel in love with everything about this show. I adore the story and the grow each of the characters go through. Type has he's big arch however, I like that Tharn has his own flaws and thing he has to work through. This had become one of my favorite couples in any drama I have ever watched, I feel completely in love with them. All the side characters are mainly there to serve to the main couples narrative and I think that choice worked for this series to many subplots would have taken to much of the already limited time away from the main couple and I feel that in this series I would have been to the shows detriment. Lastly not to spoil anything the villain was so well handled and that story line had me at the edge of my seat. The casting was phenomenal. You can feel the chemistry between Mew and Gulf and I would love for them to do more together. The acting in the last two episodes of this show from them had me literally crying. All the characters that were recast from LBC were phenomenal and brought something different to the roles while still feeling like the same characters from LBC.
However, It must be said that this show tackles some very serious topics and while I think it was well done I can see how some could be triggered by it and have different opinions and that is completely understandable.
Overall this is now one of if not my favorite BL of all time. Would I rewatch it Absolutely!!! I'm already planning to multiple times. I cannot recommend this show enough.

I had such high expectations for this show. It was one of the most talked about and hyped up series of last year and I couldn't help but have expectations going into it. And this just met and exceeded my expectations. I feel in love with this series, it's story, and most of all it's characters. This story is original and unique one of the best in any bl series I've come across. It just hit so well, it's funny heart breaking, heart warming and charming all at the same time. The acting is incredible, everyone just embodies there role to perfection and you feel the pain al of these characters are going through. Special attention should be given to Fluke who's emotional scenes just kill me every time. Every In and Korn scene just breaks my heart. I adore the friendship between Pharm, team and Manow they are just the sweetest. Also, I now want a a series about Win and Team's relationship. I have nothing but good things to say about the acting in this show. The Ost is also great these songs have been on repeat on spotify since I first heard them. aThis show is a slow burn and is very character and emotion based, their isn't as much of a focus on plot. The real drama comes from these character coming to terms with their past and while come may find that a negative i think it's makes the show different and an interesting story

This show was an absolute delight to watch. The characters and the story took me on am emotional roller coaster and I just couldn't wait to see where it would lead. The story was well done. The first 6 episodes just left me devastated and emotionally exhausted, but I couldn't stop watching and I just wanted to know were the story would go. The characters and the actors were toe absolute standouts from this show. Off and Gun's chemistry is out of this world and just seeing there relationship dynamics change and evolve over the series was wonderful to watch. Gun especially had these crying scenes that just destroyed me. The side character were also a delight, I was as invested in their stories I was with the main leads. I especially liked the direction they took Bone's story line and how that resolved in the end, I thought it was a really good ending for that story arc. This show made me fall in love with Earth and I need to see him as the lead of a drama. The story is simple and sweet but sometimes those smaller scale stories can really tap into emotions and that's what this show did for me.

I really enjoyed this show from start to finish and can see why so many people have raved about it. While the show has a lot of drama tropes and story lines that have been done before but it does them in the best way possible and it never feels forced or out of place. The two main leads and an incredible chemistry and there relationship develops in a way that makes me what to see them be together the whole way through. A big plus for me was the main male lead Shangyan, many times in shows like this kind of character is cold and really has no other character traits until the main female lead changes him. This show took this in a different direction, yes shanyan is cold in the beginning but even from the first episode you see these moment of warmth and I always prefers characters like this. Other benefits are that there was no forced love triangle. This last point is an angle I'm glad the show went with, their really is no villain in this show. All the characters are just people living there lives no one is being malicious. It just people growing and learning more about themselves and each other without some cartoon character coming in and trying to destroy them . Overall, this has been the best romance of the year in my opinion and just an all around joy to watch

This was a very cute and fitting ending for this series. I feel in love with this show and it is my favorite BL series and am so happy to have more content with these characters. It's such a sweet add on and it's really interesting to see what happened to this couple after all they went through in the series. After what happened in the main series I was just glad to have an hour and half of them being a happy couple, it's really want I needed after the series. Type's parents are a highlight and seeing just how strong Tharn and Type's relationship has become just warmed my heart

This is the first of the History series that I have watched and now I want to watch more. Usually the teacher student relationship isn't my thing but this show is the exception and I think the way they handled the relationship was really well done. I adore just how domestic this couple is and they family dynamic that they have with Yoyo. They tackle real life issues and the realities of this type of relationship. Also I'm always into bi representation and I like that this isn't about a man being traumatized and heartbroken from his ex wife and then turning gay but it's man who got divorced from his wife and just so happened to now fall in love with another man. Also how they handled the ex-wife was perfection. The acting was good they only criticism i have is that some of the crying scenes weren't great and kind of looked like the actors were more laughing as apposed to crying.
