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 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.

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 continues to be a really sweet look at the life of high school teens, their relationships, and friendships. Personally, I think this season is is even better then the first. I enjoy the new characters that were added this season they brought a different dynamic they bring but the focus is still on the core cast. I like the direction Kim Hana's character went in and her relationship with Joo Ha was really sweet. I also really like that the show explores the options high schooler's have in there senior year and that not everyone needs to or even should go to college. There was much less Do Hana it seems like she was barely in this season but honestly with the story line they gave her I'm glad they kept it short. It just a really short sweet show an easy watch or rewatch.

I have never read the novel but I am a big fan of the Love O2O drama so going into this I wasn't really sure what to think about this movie. However, this was a really charming movie. Though I feel like I would have enjoyed it way more if I hadn't already seen the drama. It's just like a more rushed version of the drama, it's so short that a lot of important plot lines go by at a blink and you'll miss it pace. A movie format is just to short for this story especially if you have seen the drama. I just left me wanting more of this story, so f I were in the mood to watch this story I'll stick to the drama.

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.

Bland

The best way i can describe this movie is that its a b movie plot with the budget of a blockbuster. Everything just seemed like ot needed to be thought out more and their is just something missing from all of it. The plot is clichè and done to death. The romance is a stretch, they only speakto eachother about 3 times. Im not sure if it's an actor or a direction issues but all the actors come of wooden. Its most likely a combination of both. If your a die hard luhan fan watch it if not skip it.

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

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

When reading the description of this show it looked right up my alley. I tend to like these kinds of shows and in the beginning this show really had me. I story was interesting and the actors pull it off really well. Out two leads actually have really good chemistry I found.

****SPOILERS***SPOILERS***** SPOILERS****


The biggest problem with this show is that fact that that the male lead made the female lead believe she had cancer when she really didn't. I know that all these shows have to have some kind of liar reveal but this one is one of the worst. For some reason this one rubbed me the wrong way making her believe she was sick just to get her to fake marry you that is really f'ed up. Luckily the show doesn't spend a lot of time on it, she is mad about it fro like an episode and a half, then gets over it and they are back together but when ever I think about this lie I just start to like the main male lead less and the show as a whole less. If you can get over this lie then the show is good but this lie is the deal breaker also understandable and just stir clear of this show.

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.

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 was a really sweet show. Nothing about it was extraordinary but every aspect of it was sweet, charming, and made you feel for the characters and what to see what happened to them.
The story wasn't massively original or innovative but it wasn't badly written. Yes their were some parts of the story that could have been condensed down and some side stories that could have maybe been cut all together, I get they had to make 36 episode and none of the side plots were bad.
The actors did a really good jobs and all the character made sense and had motivations there was nothing in the story that stood out or was annoying. All the characters where charming in their own way. Unlike in many young love focused shows no one was a massive jerk who you hated every time they were on screen. All the actors had good chemistry especially the two main leads together, as well as the main male lead with his swim team friends they had a really good dynamic.
The music was good and fit with the scenes also the ending song got stuck in my head for a really long time.


tl;dr sweet story, charming cast, fun journey nothing massive amazing but leaves you feeling good. A show that I would good back to when I just want to watch something charming if you feel down

I am a big horror movie fan so i was really excited to see this this movie and boy did it excite my expectations. While I am a horror fan I have never been that into zombie movies but this was exceptional in every possible way. Amazing script brought to life with incredible acting that works perfectly with the score. The biggest flaw a lot of horror films have is the characters but not this one, you were rooting for all the main cast. It was the only horror film that had me feeling so connected to these characters that I cried. I spent the last 10-15 minutes of this movie the first time I watched it just sobbing.
