Grand Inquisitor

i sympathise with shulin tho his whole life was ruined and all he wanted was validation that they did in fact fuck up with him...if only he had targeted the empress's reputation rather than trying to get her to admit her guilt bc she's still queen and nothing came of it - poor guy

this show was so well-rounded and i love how everything came full circle for most of the characters. chen chou's character was so lively and cute while mowen was an absolute chad friend - i love it when the main characters have ride or die friends and i love it even more when those friends become friends by the end like xu dong and chen chou lmao

overall it was a banger and i highly recommend it if u like friendship, politics and mystery

i love how both the male leads have their own super supportive best friend, its so fun to watch their scenes !

its a nice, simple and predictable show but its really cute n soft! and the main leads' chemistry makes the best-friends-to-lovers concept feel natural ! the lack of any major complications makes it a bit easy to forget but not everything has to be a 'do or die' situation yaknow - just accept it as a cute romance and enjoy

oooooo she did that ! this film was so sick! the action scenes at the beginning remind me of john wick, then the middle part reminds me of Michelle Yeoh's reign of assassins and then the last portion straight up turns into kill bill - like woooooowwww a great film for action lovers

also fun fact! the motorbike sword fight scene in this film was the inspiration for a similar scene in john wick 3!

the concept is really cool and the show was pretty nice overall but i felt that the episodes near the end were generally messy and weren't as well executed or explained as they could have been. would have loved to see more lore of the soul reapers too as well as a proper storyline for keetha since he had the best acting out of the bunch anyways

i will say tho that karn with that slick back hair and black fit looks fine as hell goddamn

this show actually surprised me in a good way! i thought it would be a cheesy romance of just 4 dudes chasing after 1 dude (and it kinda is still lmao) but the fact that most of the story develops each suitor with a final reveal of why they did what they did, it became more substantial and wayyy more enjoyable to watch.

i liked the fact that they didnt make theo a super delicate character - like he boxes and is not completely oblivious about shit and i loved that if he was feeling uncomfortable in a situation, he straight up removed himself. i enjoyed watching him & akk do their lil thing until the final 2 episodes, where theo just completely changes and pisses the viewers off. i like impactful, solid endings and tho cuteeeee, it aint what i wanted to see...akk was the man tho...like bro was perfect

absolutely love shows that are more plot-oriented rather than romance-oriented, especially with a concept like THIS! the social commentary alone makes this show an amazing watch with the story, chemistry and characters becoming lovely bonuses

if they made a sequel movie/show about black and his (romantic) endeavours that take place after, i would be the first to watch - his character was so goddamn complex in the best way possible!

gun deserves his flowers for acting the shit out of black n white like wooow

everything about this movie was great: action, cast, production etc. but what i felt brought down the film was how undeveloped the plot was. like the movie was long as it is but it felt like they still skipped out on stuff like the duo's friendship and backstory....my solution to this? adapt the novel into a series...now that would be a banger

i loved the film nonetheless - it was fresh as fuck and would defs recommend, especially if you like suave dudes in suits fuckin eachother up

a bittersweet film with a lovely ending - i loved it !

first few eps were cute and interesting but it kinda loses steam after you realise they have the emotional maturity of teenagers...like it was cute but had no real substance

cute and wholesome ! and i love how they would include the local animals within the scene, like a random cat or dog walking by, defs adds that extra realistic touch i havent seen in a show before !

god this was boring...was still cute tho!

when you look up CAMP in the dictionary, it recommends this movie 🤣

you're telling me that he couldnt call the police and put in an anonymous tip ?? like brooo i wanna enjoy this but the second hand embarrassment and plot holes are killin meeee

i dont know if this makes sense but this feels like the drama you'd see within a drama...like if you were to watch a drama, the characters would be watching this show on the tv or something - thats the feel i got from the writing, tone and even the character design lmao

i rewatched this after many years and while it definitely is for a mature audience and discusses mature themes, I found it a bit too dull (lighting and cinematography-wise) and boring since we are seeing the story from Kuzumi's perspective but he's kinda a 2D character...we don't really know anything about him, i would much rather prefer to have seen Kijima's perspective in all of this or at least have the storyline broadened

i dunno how to feel abt this one, at first there was lots of potential but there is a noticeable lack of dialogue...the scenes just feel empty? they could have had some really good dialogue by now that pushed the side couple and the main couple's plots forward but they just seem to awkwardly bumble around each other, talking but not saying much at all. Still cute, but it really makes me wanna fast forward through the eps

i would have been a lot more satisfied if Seo Joon froze out Ji Woo a little bit more near the end but ultimately i can understand Ji Woo's mentality in doing what he did - he seems to have survivor's guilt that has given him some self-sabotaging tendencies in his relationship with others.

to be fair, i imagine it would get kinda lonely dating a megastar away from your hometown, especially if you already have issues with isolating yourself from those around you but im glad they could find that balance in the end

Shin's actor is so damn fine but why couldnt they make his ass a uni student to begin with ? 😭 as a 20 yr old, anyone younger than me is literally a child in my eyes LET ALONE A MINOR like thats the only qualm i have with this otherwise cute as hell show
