To be honest, I was surprised by how much international fame this drama gained. Usually, this type of stuff is not very popular and poorly rated. I think the success of this drama came from ml who really cared about fl. It's interesting because I feel like you could feel the makjang vibe everywhere except the main couple (although at the beginning we also had Yi Joo as a damsel in distress).

Personally, with all the makjang cliché scenes, I really enjoyed this drama. The plot itself was interesting, although for me there were no plot twists. What was supposed to be a surprise was rather predictable.

The actors did quite well. They played their roles in the way expected. As for the OSTs, they were really good.

It's a very short film, but it makes you think on many levels. I think how we feel after watching it and which side we take depends on where we are in our lives. As humans, we have very different experiences. We can suffer from our own disorders, as friends or partners of people with disorders. It is important to try to understand the other side, to be with the other person, but only if we have enough strength. Unfortunately, we are not always as strong as we would like to be and we are not able to handle everything well.

Whenever we see that we can't cope with something, that we may have some disorders, it's best to try to go to a specialist who is good for us.

Ultimately, we're only human.

This movie broke me into a million pieces...

This movie broke me into a million pieces. If you want to watch it, be prepared.

The posters for this movie are bright. I think this may symbolize the fact that initially people outside of Gwangju didn't know what was really going on there due to the city being cut off from the outside world and deliberate misinformation. The film started calmly, slowly moving into the serious subject of the Gwangju Uprising. And then we saw the horror of the inhabitants of the city.

I think the events were portrayed very well in the film. The cast and the crew did a great job. This is a title that definitely makes the viewer feel a lot. I cried a lot.

These events really happened and the original footages from Gwangju taken by the reporter (Jürgen Hinzpeter) can be found on the internet.

[real life spoiler]
Kim Sa-Bok (real-life taxi driver) and Jürgen Hinzpeter (real-life reporter) after these events, they never met each other. Both died before they could find each other.

I really like the plot idea itself, but...

This is one of the best idol-starred dramas I've ever watched. Pretty good acting and a great plot idea. However, there are things about it that are weak...

The background music didn't always fit the scene. Usually, the music was too joyful when the scene was serious or sad. It was really distracting.

Actually, every character has experienced its own development. But it was really fast. The character's attitude changed in the blink of an eye, which is very unreal.

The thing is, "Mimicus" consists of 16 short episodes, which makes everything happen too fast. No storyline is developed enough. I believe the drama would be better if it had longer episodes. Then the creators would have time to properly develop each storyline.

I really like the plot idea itself.

This movie is like a very long MV...

This movie is like a very long MV and I love it. The music was great and everything was perfectly suited to it. I had never heard Eve's songs or covers before, and I decided to watch this movie to get to know him. It certainly didn't disappoint me.

"Adam by Eve: A Live in Animation" consists of fragments that look like MV when the music blasts out interspersed with peaceful scenes without music, when we follow the story of Aki and Taki. Everything is combined into a coherent whole thanks to very good visualizations and animations. Some fragments also contain elements of horror.

Overall, the movie and music appealed to my taste.

Really bad and disappointing.

My rating of this movie is 0.5/10 but when you write a review your rating must be between 1 and 10.

Before this movie was released, with each trailer for it, my expectations were getting bigger. In the end, I did not see it until 2022 and I am very disappointed.

The acting was sometimes good and sometimes average. Far too many scenes with the camera shaking. There were so many of them that I started to wonder if it was really on purpose. A lot of scenes with close-ups on the faces of the characters. Some of them looked strange. I really think there should be fewer scenes like this.

The plot idea itself was really good, but the execution was very poor. The whole thing was terribly boring and tiring for me.

The last twenty minutes is the best done part of this movie, but when you watch it you are so tired of the rest of the movie that it is not easy to appreciate it.

Rei is supposed to be in love, but since high school she has shown a great desire to have sex with Nanae. It has been mentioned too many times for me.

Some things really feel like lesbophobia.

I really didn't like this movie. I hate it.

I enjoyes this drama.

UPDATE AFTER I FINISHED WATCHING THE DRAMA
I really like to watch good dramas of this type sometimes. And I think this is one of them.

There's a sweet romance mixed with some serious scenes and issues. There are also quite a lot of funny scenes.
I've seen a few comments that in their relationship the main characters act like teenagers even though they are lawyers. And what's the problem here? It's good not to be serious all the time. They were not irresponsible and have learned to communicate with each other over time, which is good. In my opinion, it was a really mature relationship.

It was obvious from the first episodes that the story of the Dohan Company and their crimes would have to be developed. So I liked that the first half was focused more on the cafe customers and the second half was focused on dealing with Lee Pyun Woong. It felt natural, considering the events that were going on.

AFTER WATCHING 4 EPISODES
rating: 9.5/10

This drama has a typical drama vibe like other dramas in which one of the main roles is played by Lee Seung Gi. The dramas in which he plays have some distinctive features, probably due to his acting style. They are definitely not for everyone. "The Law Cafe" contains very typical elements for which Korean dramas are known.

For me, this drama will definitely not beat the best Korean productions. However, from the very first episode, I knew what to expect and I am enjoying it so far. I like that the drama deals with some heavier topics, but it's not too overwhelming thanks to the whole episode.

Hopefully, this drama won't be filled with completely unnecessary fillers in the later episodes.

AFTER I FINISH WATCHING THE DRAMA
When I started watching this drama, I had really high expectations for it. However, after a few episodes, my expectations began to decrease. I noticed more and more shortcomings. Also, constantly leaving each other despite declarations of love was unnecessary and irritating in my opinion. It was more of a time filler than an interesting element of drama. Overall, I'm disappointed with the shortcomings of this drama, but I liked the colors and the music until the very end.

AFTER I WATCHED 10 EPISODES
Rating: 7/10
I watched ten episodes, there are only two left and I still can't decide fully how I feel about this drama. It's such a love-hate relationship for me with a rollercoaster of negative and positive things.

I see how much the trends in Thai bl dramas have changed in the last few years. I also noticed that Phuwin's acting has improved since his role in "'Cause You're My Boy". He is quite good at conveying positive emotions, but when it comes to negative ones, in my opinion, he lacks a lot. And in this drama, there are quite a lot of scenes where the actor has to show, for example, sadness or anger. Sometimes audio sounds unprofessional and the timing isn't always clear. I also don't like how it felt like we got Nueng's character development and then kind of regressed to his earlier behavior a moment later. I guess it's not established yet or it's just a little bit of poor writing.

Of the very positive things about this drama, I like the overall plot idea. Therefore, for now, I feel a certain disappointment and dissatisfaction with the shortcomings that have appeared. In this drama, I really love the color selection most of the time and the music is really well-matched.

The beginning of this drama was great. It was very engaging and together with the characters we discovered what had happened. I was curious what Ji Won had to do to change her life and how she would achieve it. However, around episode 10/11 it became predictable. I didn't have as much fun watching this drama as I did at the beginning. That's why I stopped watching it several times and then came back to it. But don't get me wrong, this drama is really good. With top actors, great OST and plot. After episode 11, there was simply an element missing that would completely absorb me.


I don't think Yura's appearance was a bad idea. It added to the plot and ultimately made sense.

I really had fun watching this drama. I found out that it is a parody of another historical drama, which made it easier to watch. It's just the kind of silly comedy that you can laugh while watching and you know from the very beginning that everything will end well. The actors did quite well. They played the way I expected. Nothing too serious. This drama is great to watch as an interlude between dramas and movies with more serious themes. I've seen opinions that a lot of things haven't been explained, but I don't think so. For me everything is clear and easy to deduce. You just have to remember that this drama has fantasy elements.

This drama made me cry a lot. Over the course of these ten episodes, I have grown to love Gil Chae and Jang Hyeon and ship them. That's why episode ten broke my heart. I'm afraid that in the second part, the creators will not strive for a happy ending for Gil Chae and Jang Hyeon. I don't want the second part to end like Moon Lovers for me, because I still can't forget the sadness.

But despite the tears shed, I love the first part. There were also some funny scenes. This drama is interconnected sadness, pain, fear and happiness. The characters develop and have difficult decisions to make. I wonder how the rest of this story will unfold. I have a feeling the ending might not be a happy one, but I hope I'm wrong.

I really understand that the drama has short episodes and there are few of them, which makes it impossible to do a very extensive plot, but it definitely could have been done better. Why is there a toxic and stalking ex-boyfriend in the drama, who caused the main character to be traumatized, if this topic is not developed at all? We don't get a chance to see how Seung Jun handles the situation because all the explanations take place off-screen. And then we suddenly get a happy ending. It's obvious that the story was mentioned only to make Jae Hyun a hero. Instead, everything was happening too fast, making him a stalker. Also in the drama, there were far too many additional characters who contributed absolutely nothing to the story.

If you decide to watch this drama, keep in mind that it's just a time filler and you'll quickly forget about it.
