a survival game done right!

This is one of the few shows that deserves a season 2. You will not be disappointed, it was so satisfying and it all does makes sense!

The story is well-written and hands down to the cast here. They delivered it well. Especially, kento yamazaki what a great actor still, he doesn't have a limit. Looking forward to your future projects sir.

Really recommended to watch this. It teaches us about life, family, and friends, also strangers that youve met in just even a minute or so might have an impact in your life.

I might rewatch this anytime. It is that good.

If everyone decide to corroborate a lie, then it become the truth

A well executed mystery story and with the side of youth. I love how they slowly uncover the truth , there is no boring episode and you will enjoy it so much.

Love the cast and the acting, you really can connect to them.

Though, I guess we should have see the story about the squad, I think there is more to that than being them a backstabbing gays lol. They deserve better storyline I think. But Its the twin sisters story so its understandable.

Really recommended you to watch it. Its a unique kind of revenge dramas.

Oh I cant move one. I need a prequel with the squad. I need to know what happens before. , they're just so happy and lovely with each other. <3

okay I watch this mainly for yeo jin goo and I know some actors are really good, and I have time so yeah...

The idea was fantastic, the characters seemed genuine. Up until a specific scene inside a warehouse pulls the rug out from under everything that has been built up and spills this into the realm of disposable Korean thrillers, well the ride is entertaining.

The majority of it was tied together with knots, which was fine for the most part but seemed overly complicated toward the end, as if an additional knot had been tied on top of an already perfect knot to create a tangled mess.

Also, I thought that toward the end, the monster aspect wasn't really addressed. They did a nice job of constructing it, but then they just threw it away. What was the purpose then? Additionally, the movie does that thing at the conclusion where people suddenly stop feeling pain. How is he still standing, Idk? I don't care.

Anyways, this time around, the crime family feels much more vulnerable and in danger. I also appreciate the film's really enjoyable action scenes and the fact that Yeo Jin goo's motivation for retaliation feels so deeply personal.

Yes, the acting really caried this movie. and still recommendable to watch.

surprisingly good!

I will talk about the movie itself cuz im not fan of any boy groups out there. If we talked about the plot, it was amazing and nice.

the cuts are kind of weird though.
so it is better to watch the second time around to understand more.

I am not really good in review but if you want to know if this is recommendable, sure it is, a good laugh and new story to look forward to.

I swear if this gonna have a series remake, it will become a hit.
There are many stories to tell about this so called "new world".

Assassin's Riddle

So this is a gripping story that follows Jian, a college student, who finds herself in the midst of murder and mystery after her uncle's suspicious death.

The plot is filled with action, including gunfire, murder drones, and a group of assassins targeting Jian for unknown reasons. Trapped in her uncle's home, Jian must use the unique training he gave her to stay alive.

The series combines suspense with humor and features impressive action scenes. The storyline is full of unexpected twists and turns, keeping the audience engaged.

And let's not forget, Lee Dong Wook's performance is outstanding.

"A Shop for Killers" will leave you wanting more, and trust me when I say it's clear that a second season is a must for fans of the show!

I'll make it short...

Strong Girl Namsoon had a cool premise with the mix of the different approaches of feminism, but the story went off the rails.
Kang Nam Soon's search for her parents in Gangnam turns into this weird drug case involving her family, and it just feels forced.
The detective subplot is okay, but they threw in a villain, Ryu Si Oh, who's the only thing worth watching.
The writing is a mess, though.
No clear direction, and it feels like the writers lost their way.
The family dynamics are interesting, but the lackluster plot overshadows it.
Despite some cool action scenes and good performances, the show doesn't live up to its potential—just a letdown.
The series could have done better in delivering a more coherent and empowering feminist storyline.

( I'm being generous here so I gave 8 because I'll be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it a bit )

We're all Castaway Divas

Castaway Diva weaves an extraordinary tale of resilience and the pursuit of dreams that left me emotionally invested from the very beginning.

Mok Ha's narrative unfolds as a poignant journey, transcending the conventional boundaries of survival stories. From enduring the solitude of a deserted island during her formative years to re-entering a society that has drastically transformed in her absence, Mok Ha's character resonates with an authenticity that is both heartwarming and heartbreaking.
What struck me the most was her unwavering determination to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a singer despite the immense challenges that stood in her way. The series adeptly explores the complexities of social dynamics in the contemporary world, highlighting the stark contrasts between Mok Ha's isolated existence and the bustling, interconnected reality she faces upon her return. As she navigates this unfamiliar terrain, the show skillfully captures the essence of her struggles and triumphs, delivering a powerful narrative that tugs at the heartstrings.

Castaway Diva is not merely a story; it's an ode to the indomitable human spirit and the boundless pursuit of passion, leaving viewers with a resonant message that dreams, no matter how deferred, can be realized with unwavering perseverance.

Really, a must watch – I laughed, I cried, and above all, I found myself deeply inspired by the journey of these castaway divas.

A Rollercoaster of Love and Loss

First, I would like to say sorry for I thought, more or less two years ago, that this will not be good and I'll hate it because idk season 1 is so perfect to me and I don't actually wanted a second season hence I didn't watched this while airing last year...boy I'm clearly missing out and I'm glad I had time and energy and decided to watch this... I did not write a review about season 1 so I'm writing this as an amend for doubting it. This might be long so here it is.

I thought I'd seen it all in Season 1, but this second installment dives even deeper into the turbulent world of Kang Seo Joon and Han Ji Woo.

The chemistry between Seo Joon and Ji Woo is like a magnetic force that draws you in. It's not just about their differences; it's about how those differences make their connection all the more powerful. The ups and downs of their love story feel so real that you can't help but root for them, and when they're happy, you're on cloud nine with them.

But just when you think they've found their fairy tale ending, bam! Life throws a curveball, and you're left holding your breath, wondering if true love can withstand the storms of life. The suspense is killer, and every episode leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat.

The cinematography is like poetry on screen, capturing the glitz of Seo Joon's celebrity life and the quiet, intimate moments with Ji Woo. The music? Don't even get me started. It's the kind that lingers in your soul, making you feel every emotion the characters are going through.

Now, don't get me wrong; it's not all rainbows and butterflies. There are moments when you want to shout at the screen, "No, don't do that!" The plot can be a tad predictable, and yeah, there are some clichés thrown in. But here's the thing – the actors pour so much heart into their roles that you forgive the drama's flaws. You're not just watching characters; you're feeling their joy and heartbreak like it's your own.

In the end, "To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories" is a tearjerker, a heartwarmer, and a testament to the crazy, unpredictable journey that love can take you on. So, brace yourself for the emotional rollercoaster, and get ready to fall in love all over again. I might rewatch this when I'm lonely idk.

Best Actor Yeo Jin Goo

I watched this more or less a month ago and I forgot to write a review. So, here it is.

I think this show was the most memorable historical drama I have watched in terms of acting. Though I have not watched many historicals but for me this is unforgettable. The musical score and cinematography is one of the best here. The story is so engaging and the script is well-written.

Also, you will laugh, cry, be angry, sad, happy and satisfied. All emotions you will feel are in this show, but not in an exaggerated way and I think thats good.

Damn, the acting, all cast did their best but jin goo really standout for me. He is so good portraying those two characters.

Anyways a must watch. I enjoyed this.

Oh, I love the poster so much.

A GEM!!!

When I finished watch the first episode from the day they aired.I was thinking this gonna be good, and I am right. I will not talk too much about the series because all was perfect top-notch. I just want to know that the company, actors, people behind the series and of course the fandom and the community of Gameboys was simply the best that I encounter in my entire life. It was literally a journey and full of memories in these past five months. This series just not keep us sane during this trying times but also teaches and realizes us many things, so thank you for that. Lastly, this kind of series especially, Gameboys build families and friends inside and outside from the series. This gem will be remembered forever.

Shoutout to calaters. Mahal ko kayo. <3

At first, I was very excited when they announced this, because the plot is interesting and to vary my shows that I am watching right now. Yet, in the middle of watching this show, I was a little bit disappointed. I really dont like the execution for this kind of story, though they tried but there are some many series that still better to this in terms of directing and writing wise.

I just love that they kept it short for we can finished it one go and infairness I enjoyed some scenes and gave some a bit entertainment for the audience. Still recommendable if you're here for the cast or idk but don't expect more. I am not sure if I will watch the second season, I'll just wait for the feedback if its good or not.

a great first season

This is a type of show that you just pick and want to enjoy and expect less. Yet, it turns out great and you're hooked and interested now.

The cast is amazing of course and though some parts of the story should have been better but it was still bearable.
The music is good too! I didnt expect that it grows in me until the last episode. I dont know if its just me but the theme song or the intro song is like an anime opening and it makes you know what the show is about, an action pack and a drama meet together.

Yes, this is so recommendable but I give it 8.5 for I still looking for something, and I hope the second season will give us that.

Mind you, this is just the first part!


Death's Game is a mind-bending show that had me hooked from the start.

So, Choi Yi Jae's life is in shambles, and just when he thinks it can't get worse, Death herself shows up with a twisted game. As Choi faces death repeatedly in 12 different lives, the storyline takes unexpected turns, making you question the value of life itself. In just 4 episodes the series brilliantly explores the ripple effect of one person's choices on the lives of others.

Of course, the top-notch cast delivers performances that keep you glued to the screen,
and the cameos are a delightful addition, giving their best performances.

Death's Game is not just about survival; it's a poignant reflection on the impact we have on those around us, making it a must-watch for anyone looking for a unique blend of suspense, drama, and a touch of existential questioning.

Now Im so ready for the second part.

I might need a box of tissue.

circles....

Nana Tour brings the perfect blend of a reality show and a dream vacation. PD Na, our seasoned guide, takes seventeen on a 7-day trip to Italy filled with laughter, creating a vibe that feels like you're right there with them. The show is a mix of happiness and genuine emotion, making you wish you were part of their tight-knit group. There's something heartwarming about witnessing svt's camaraderie and the joy they bring to each other. I found myself tearing up and grinning from ear to ear – it's that kind of show that hits you right in the feels. Nana Tour isn't just a travel adventure; it's a journey into the happiness and friendship of svt, and being a part of it, even as a viewer, is downright uplifting.

Pls na pd invite svt again, with all members complete<3.
