A perfect classic.
First we really can't avoid to immediately compare it to the first adaptation and it has a very special place in my heart.This time, well what can I say... the best adaptation I seen for a while. The story and pacing is good. The cast are amazing. Songs are remarkable. Chemistry is top notch. Acting is spectacular. I was invested like I am part of the family. I love everything about it, and I can't explain it in words. I just know that I am not myself after this. It influenced me, inspired me, and taught me things that I can't comprehend. So, thank you and will surely wait for its continuation.

A show that seamlessly balances of what you're currently experiencing in your watchlist.
Perfect Marriage Revenge is a wild rollercoaster of family drama, betrayal, and second chances that serves up a tantalizing blend of familial intrigue, heartbreak, and a dash of romance that had me hooked from the get-go.The drama unfolds with intense emotions, unexpected turns, and a hint of romance. It's a captivating series that keeps you hooked with its intriguing mix of family secrets, love triangles, and the quest for justice. Plus, the cast is sizzling hot, adding an extra layer of spice to the already gripping narrative.
I could say a binge-worthy watch, blending the complexities of relationships with a touch of glamour, making it a must-watch for anyone craving a mix of emotional depth and plot twists.

A part of me wants a sequel
I guess this is an unpopular opinion of mine but after giggling, crying, smiling, and all the feels, I wanted more of them. I just love watching them planning and the same time being lovers while doing revenges. The real definition of partners in crime.The story we know is rampant in kdramas but this time a different flavor and I love that.
A strong storytelling, and great ending. No questions unanswered.
Of course Lee Do Hyun surely did a great job, no surprise at all. He is one of the great actor in korea in my opinion. He knows what to pick a show by the way. His filmography is great and vast.
I know Song Hye Kyo is a great actress also, actually its my first time watching her, apologies queen yeah I didn't watch DOTS yet and her some famous works but right now will check it out!.
The music is good in every scene and ending.
Surely will rewatch this. I miss them atm. Really recommendable.
PS. So excited for LDH's and SHK's new dramas! <3

Diving into Darkness
Alright, buckle up, because "Evilive" is a wild ride into the shadows of morality that left me questioning everything I thought I knew about good and evil. Han Dong Soo, the straight-laced lawyer, takes a detour into the criminal underworld, and let me tell you, it's a journey you won't forget.Picture this: Dong Soo, the seemingly rational guy, starts visiting prisoners randomly, and damn! He's knee-deep in crime, facing the demons in his own mind. The internal conflict is real, and you can almost see the battle between his usual calm self and the darkness lurking within. It's like watching a moral tightrope walk, and I couldn't look away.
Now, the relationship between Dong Soo and his half-brother, Beom Jae, is the emotional heart of the story. Beom Jae serving as a case broker adds a layer of family drama that hits hard. When Beom Jae realizes Dong Soo ain't the same brother anymore, especially with this shady case involving Seo Do Young, you can cut the tension with a knife.
Seo Do Young, oh boy, he's a piece of work. The #2 crime guy with a baseball player past and a charming exterior that hides his dark side. It's like peeling an onion, layer by layer, and you never know what you'll find. The mystery surrounding him keeps you guessing, and his charisma is downright chilling.
The pacing is spot-on, keeping me on the edge of my seat as Dong Soo and company navigate this morally messed-up world. The psychological toll of crossing lines is in your face, making you question justice and morality alongside the characters.
Sure, there are moments where the plot could use a bit more seasoning, and some characters could use a sprinkle more development. But let me tell you, these nitpicks don't dull the impact of the show. It's a gripping exploration of the human mind, morality, and the blurry line between right and wrong.
"Evilive" is a must-watch for anyone who loves a dark and thrilling story that sticks with you. With a cast that knocks it out of the park and a plot that keeps you guessing, this series left me wierdly wrecked in the best possible way.

For sure, this show will be remembered and treasured. I know the production is not that big but it was done well and you will see the effort.I think we deserved sometimes a light, sweet, cute , a bit of fun , touching, and has a happy ending story.
I love all the cast but Milk really got my attention. I know many of you will agree.
Recommend you to watch this for you all will love the characters.

One of the few shows that made me cry almost every episode.
Yes. I was crying then laughing then crying again and crying nth times.This drama will really sticks to me I guess in how many years. The way the cast did a great job in acting and portraying their characters really got me. The music wow and the osts.....daebak. If you binge this, let me tell you to prepare yourselves and strengthen your heart, for this broke my heart a few times. I suggest to have one episode every day or week, so that you can grasp and recover full of the happenings in each episode... but you can not do that I think as for me also because this keeps you thrilled and wanted for more in every ending of an episode:(( ;).
Anyways recommended 100% to watch it, Very worth it and reminds you how great life is and the people that surrounds you. Love this. waiting for the sequel. <3

Shadows of Morality
A Killer Paradox unfolds as a captivating narrative where the shadows of morality play a pivotal role in shaping the destiny of its characters.Lee Tang, an unsuspecting college student turned supernatural avenger, thrusts us into a world where the lines between right and wrong blur. As he discovers his ability to identify 'bad seeds,' the storyline delves into the intricate dance between justice and morality. The cold-blooded detective, a relentless pursuer, adds layers to the unseen war that unfolds within the narrative.
The acting is top-notch, delivering both comedy and gore in a way that hits the sweet spot.
The storyline? It's like a dark, twisted fairy tale that you never saw coming.
A must watch really like its a cinematic masterpiece, minus the clichés, with every episode leaving you hungry for more of this dark and intriguing tale.

Alchemy of Souls Season 2: Light and Shadow
7 people found this review helpful
A worthy sequel!
Wow, how can I express my words in this, I cant fathom how wonderful this show was!Surprisingly I love the the new actress of the FL. She is a brilliant actor that is for sure. Well, all cast did great too!
The magic is still in there. Nostalgic and memorable. Good denouement of the plot. Impressive storytelling. No questions left unanswered and that ending is a strawberry on the top of the cake! Yes, I like the ending. The girls that get it, get it.
And I for sure can not compare the two seasons because each of them have its owns weaknesses and strength. There are things that I love in season one that don't have in season 2 and things that I like in season two that don't have in season one.
Might rewatch this from the beginning. the 30 episodes is not a hindrance to start this series, yes 100% recommendable.
Oh love the music too but S1 music >>> S2 music. <3

Deaths Game is an emotional ride that grabs you from the first moment. Choi Yi Jae's life is basically a series of unfortunate events—unemployment, a betrayed heart, and the classic falling-for-a-bitcoin-scam disaster. But when he decides to take a dark turn, Death herself steps in with a wicked game. The top-notch cast delivers performances that hit the right emotional chords, and the cameos add extra flavor. The storyline, with its mix of genres, keeps you guessing, and the concept of experiencing death through 12 other lives adds a unique twist. The ending, though somewhat expected, feels just right for the narrative. What's impressive is the intentional cut after the final scene; it's like the creators want us to focus on the emotional weight rather than wondering about the future. Deaths Game is not just about dying and living—it's a gut-wrenching exploration of life's complexities and the resilience to start anew.
A must watch for a ride that'll tug at your heartstrings and leave you contemplating the layers of existence.

A Time-Traveling Melody of Love and Nostalgia
oh my! "Twinkling Watermelon" is a time-travel love story that hit me right in the feels. Picture this: Eun Gyeol, a high school whiz by day and a guitar-wielding maestro by night, accidentally stumbles into a 90s time warp. Yes, you heard me right, time travel!Now, this isn't your average time-travel tale. It's a heartwarming blend of laughs, romance, and music. Eun Gyeol's meet-up with his young dad, Yi Chan, is like a comedy goldmine. Imagine trying to play matchmaker for your own parents while your future dad thinks you're a lunatic. Hilarious, right? But the twist? Yi Chan ends up falling for a cellist, not Eun Gyeol's future mom. Talk about turning the love story playbook upside down!
Let's talk tunes. Oh, the music! It's not just a soundtrack; it's a time-traveling jukebox of 90s hits and soul-soothing originals. Eun Gyeol rocks out with his dad's band, trying to play cupid through melodies. It's like a musical journey that transports you to the good old days.
The characters are the cherry on top. Eun Gyeol's struggle to keep his parents' love on track while navigating the awkwardness of time travel? It's relatable, and you can't help but root for the guy. The band members add spice to the mix, making you wish you had a gang like that in your own life.
Well, the pacing hits a few bumps, and some story bits could use a little more TLC. But who cares when you're swept up in a whirlwind of laughter, romance, and sweet tunes? This series hooked me with its charm and left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
"Twinkling Watermelon" isn't just a show; it's a time-traveling symphony that'll make you laugh, cry, and maybe even dance a little. It's a sweet escape into nostalgia, exploring the messy business of changing destiny. Trust me, you're in for a treat – a watermelon-flavored treat that'll leave you smiling and maybe a little teary-eyed. 🍉💫❤️

The story pointed out is nice though but its getting bad and nonsense as it progress. The characters are a bit annoying and their actions is so stupid and it was not in their roles to portray, it is just bad and lazy writing.
The acting is just meh. I don't really have a connection to them, except sometimes for the actor of the author seon ho. I like the guy he's funny sometimes and natural.
Overall, it was just light. nothing special. They wasted the potential.

Work of Art!
talented, brilliant, incredible,amazing, show stopping, spectacular,never the same.emotions were a roller coaster ride. yet worth it.
It is about almost reckless courage, self-denying dedication, and a desperate search for a better future. It is a drama about love and seeing all your hopes crumble. It is about revealing a truth so grand that one’s mind cannot grasp it.
The colour, the light, the texture of real life, would clutter up your eye and distract you from the lovely artifice.
I might rewatch this when Im feeling lonely.

Brilliant cast!
yes another great drama of song joong ki. He knows what shows to pick.For this, you will somehow satisfied and not satisfied, for the fact we all rooting for jin do joon and ended up with hyun woo' s success. But I think we forgot that it was hyun woo's characteristic and soul in the body/name of jin do joon.
In other note, what a great cast and they really did their roles. The music and the phasing is actually really good. Yet, this series should have been be better and I can't pinpoint on what's lacking or too much.
We will not talk about romance.
Anyways, still recommended to watch, it was worth the time. Little unsatisfaction can't compare what a great series this is. <3

At first, I am hesitated to watch this first for knowing it is an another revenge drama and I watch a lot about it last year. Yet, surprisingly gagged a bit. This drama sold me and I want a season two like right now.
The story of course is another high school bullying but unexpectedly it gives a different taste for the plot is in the adulthood phase.
Oh I really like the casting here. They picked those who can deliver and can act with these type of genre. Actually, I watch this because of lee do hyun (idk I miss him in screens again anyways...) but stayed for the show.
The music is good and actually relate to the series and makes you to focus on the story more and thrilled to watch more episodes.
I am glad that I finally decided to watch this , really recommendable. Hoping the second season will be great also.
