Episode 13 alone should be in hall of fame of thai productions

Best three months.
Loved it.
Its more of a larkon with mafia aspects
Beautiful fighting choreography
Beautiful acting.
Beautiful music.
The views cinematography is insane...felt like i need to go to Thailand and see of they are lying to my eyes.


After episode one setting...episode two kind of throws you out of the loop cause thats when the romance comedy aspects is introduced. It sets the on coming theme of a comedy romace rather than heavy dark theme.
I can understand those who might not adjust to it..but yall are missing out on beautiful rollar coaster ride.

a none bias review of the kdrama(mosty with the acting and ost)

Okay first of all, I have read the webtoon series but only the season 1 since I though I might spoil myself, but that was not the case. If anyone who would like to really fully know the whole story I recommend reading the webtoon rather than watching this. (English isn't my first language)

Lets talk about the story line; tbh I felt like the story was rush. Wherein some parts are dull and unnecessary and other were too much which isn't part of the webtoon at all ( I do understand that this is adaptation but it was way too much)

The acting...my god tbh only half of the actor/actresses were able to portray the characters from the manhwa, However as the it continues their acting became natural but I notice that they were uncomfortable with their co-stars. I'm now gonna go more the chemistry between the main lead(maha and ryok), 2nd main(yujin and hyunji), and some other chemistry that are WORTH MENTIONING.

The main lead: chemistry was off especially with maha in the beginning but later on went to ryok. where in maha was the clingy one in the beginning but ryok went full on pick me boy, knowing HE BROKE UP WITH HER BUT CLINGS TO HER AFTER HE BREAKS THEM UP. Following her everywhere she go, like a lost child begging for attention(like bruh you acting like she broke up with u but its the opposite). I truly lost hope on the main lead at that point and just invested my focus on the other interactions between the characters.

The 2nd lead: okay these two I've been rooting for them since day one, but their chemistry with each other started out a bit awkward but later on I notice they both improved a lot both nayoung and yunho(hyunji and yunho) However they did well for being the 2nd lead couple. I only wished for more interactions between the two.

My fav couple/duos:
1. RIA AND THE SHAX MEMBER( im sorry I forgot his name) THESE TWO, THEY HAD MORE CHEMISTRY COMBINED WITH THE MAIN LEAD THE 2ND LEAD COUPLES. They deserve to be known, their acting with each other was so natural as well with storyline. They were flawless as if they were a real couple.

2. HYUK AND DOJIN, honesty I really didn't think that I would end the drama and remembering this duo. They were two peas in pod. What surprised me even more is that even if hyuk is more on the cuter side, Jongho playing this role is such a good choice and even placing him with yuri(dojin) made it better. They were so natural and comfortable with each other , and while watching it I just though I was watching a couple of besties having fun.

3. Ryok and SHAX MANAGER, now I know I slandered ryok at first but his interaction with his manager just makes up for it. These two were amazing, the classic funny duo which I truly love.

4. Lalima and Tea party Manager, Both of them weren't a couple but I love their friendship and professionalism with one another. Both being caring for the people around them and acting mature in making decisions( even if Lalima was the antagonist in the start you will start to love her as the story goes on)

Now I want to talk about the ost/songs that were in here. First, DIAMOND-sparkling HAS POTENTAIL BUT THEY MADE IT A FLOP SONG ON PURPOSE. My first listen to this song I became a fin asap but as it keeps one repeating I learned to love it despite that horrendous autotune/nassle voice at the start and rap. TEAPARTY/OMEGA 3, I kid you not I have this song stuck in my head and I don't care since it was so good. Knowing that the actress were past trainees and idol I knew the one would come out great but I was shock with the actress that played as maha. She is good at singing and dancing, you can really see that she did her best in portraying her role. MALO-Shax, its a bop. I'm not surprised since shax is suppose to be the best group in imitation. The melody and chores fits so well with each other.

Maybe it's the best I've ever seen

When I started watching this drama, I didn't expect to be so surprised. The plot is basic and I thought it wouldn't have much depth. I realized it would be the opposite when each episode was 1h30 (LOL). however, even with long episodes, the plot, development and characters manage to sustain themselves. Furthermore, the subplots developed are thought-provoking, and in many moments I found myself tearing up with secondary characters (something that was very well used in this drama). another factor is that I cried even more with the main couple. In addition to the two protagonists having undeniable chemistry, seeing them hurt each other (especially the male character) was something that affected me in undeniable ways. I was on the third episode and I thought DAMN, I'M OBSESSED. result? I marathoned in three days. I agree that some of the solutions at the end were hasty, but damn it I loved it

Ehhh. This could have been so much better...

Since the writers felt a need for some comedy and the director is not the best - the first few episodes are pretty hard to watch. Have your fingers on the right keys and zip through all the overacting, bad dialogue and near afternoon soap opera writing. They used a teenage kpop storyline to set everything up but, it is a little weak. Lead female - public defender - not developed well as a character. I found her irritating most of the time. Then, the writers drop all of that and she suddenly becomes a normal person. There wasn't a believable transition from a pretty awful person to one we are supposed to care about and root for.

As per usual, the first several episodes are disposable. I stuck with this all the way through because I KNOW Lee Jong Suk is an amazing actor. He didn't disappoint.

As for a "review" I am going to stop here. Why? It wouldn't be fair for me to go on. I expected a drama. Unfortunately, I realized this was a soap opera made to look like a drama. It tries to be too many things. Bad rom-com vibes that they drop and never bring up again. An irritating almost to the point of unredeemable main character where - again - all of that is dropped and forgotten and they are presented as normal - what you would expect characters. The villain is so lucky that the law is so inept - everywhere. Wanted posters, eye witnesses, etc. mean nothing - so, we get stuck with a villain who only shows up here and there to move the story along through all 18 episodes. Again, soap opera. Not a bad thing but, I wish I would have known going in.

É UM DRAMA BEM LEVE E LEGALZINHO DE ACOMPANHAR

Conseguiu conquistar meu coração com uma trama bem desenvolvida, personagens carismáticos e um equilíbrio perfeito entre momentos de tensão e leveza. A química entre os personagens e os toques sutis de sofrimento adicionaram camadas interessantes à história, tornando-a ainda mais envolvente. As declarações emocionantes e o final que deixou um gostinho de quero mais demonstram o cuidado na construção dos episódios. Estou feliz por ter apreciado tanto essa trama que mescla romance e comédia de forma encantadora. Com certeza, ficarei com saudades de acompanhar mais desses personagens cativantes.

When this Korean drama was aired, I was interested in the first episode. I could not take my eyes off the wonderfully scenes. Watching each new episode I felt like at the cinema, special effects and showing the story was better than many movies that I had the opportunity to see. This drama remarkably shows the thread how the fate of many people can interlace with each other over many years. Music reflected every scene correctly. Thanks to her, you could feel a lot more emotion and feel the same as the actors. If you like Korean drama with a fantasy story, you should watch it.

An incredible period drama

This has become for sure on of my favorite dramas of all time. I loved everything about it, the actors, the story and the setting. The only reason I can't give this drama a 10/10 is because of that last episode, I cannot agree with the way they ended the drama and honestly? It felt vaguely homophobic, the way certain characters reacted was also not in line with what we had been shown before. Besides that, I found the unsuspected comedy delightful, the chemistry between the actors and characters incredible, and I loved the roller-coaster ride the story took us on. Overall an incredible experience!

If you've just stumbled upon this drama, I would advise to instantly watch it. If you think you would find a comment that doesn't have all 10 stars, it doesn't exist.

OST-
Can I just say, *It's perfect* I cry everytime I hear a song from goblin, either nostalgia or just because song is so good. You should definitely check the song separately.

ACTING-
I like main characters acting, it was light hearted and she was a cutie. She delivered the innocence, and maturity at the same time. The male leads acting was great as well, but I mean it's Gong Yoo. I also loved the Grim Reapers acting, cold yet cute.

PLOT-
It's really good, with many romance plots yet mysteries and tragedies. Side plots were also great. The plot will make you happy yet cry at the same time.

Sitting on the Throne is a terrible thing. When the family is young, it's #familyisallwegot Then when they get of age they all fight for the throne. I really do not like that concept but that is the way it was back decades ago. My favorite two actresses in this piece were believable so kudos to them. "Hu Bingqing" and "Ady AN" thank you, I applaud you for your great acting skills. There is one actress, I don't really care for because I watched her in "Legend of Fuyao", there is just something about her I'm not impressed with. Her character in Legend of Fuyao was the same as in this drama playing Dugu Montuo (Li Yixiao), I felt she jumped out of Legend Fuyao and landed in Legend of Dugu! The storyline was okay... not something that I would get goosebumps over but it was workable. The switching of hubby's got to me. None of them ended with a person they truly loved. They all got played by the females. I loved the bad guy in this Drama series, Jeremy Tsui, I saw him in another Drama where he played a good guy and he does bring his personality charm to make this character different so thank him. The other character I loved was Yang Gian. I love the costumes, the music was okay, and the visual effects. The one-piece I really loved was the Sword dance displayed by HuBingqing and Zhang Danfeng (my favorite). Thanking all of the remaining and supporting cast for their work and participation in this drama.

Obsession

I haven't read the book so this review is only based on the drama. TW's for attempted suicide.

The premise is captivating right off the bat. This is set in a world where there are Mono's, which are people that can only see the world in shades of grey. Then there are Probes, who can make their Mono see colors. This leads to an obsession in which the Probe are in danger. The whole world is built on fear of Mono's and really just paints them in an awful light. Enter our main couple, who are of course are a mono and a probe. This is really their story and how they overcome the stereotypes related to their labels. The main couple has good chemistry in my opinion, and there are light moments and fun moments. The cinematography in this is really quite beautiful. They captured colors in a way that magnifies their qualities and I honestly found it quite beautiful to watch. The music is lovely and fits the drama well. The acting is done well, and I appreciated the two main character's scenes. There is a lot going on with this series and a lot of deeper meanings/questions lurking beneath the surface.

Where this fell short is the length. This is the curse of Korean BL's at present, so I'm used to it, but as always I wanted more. There's so much to delve into here with the mystery and the obsession between the boys. The length doesn't really allow for too much depth unfortunately. The story itself was great and the actors brought it to life, but the bones behind the story were missing and so it lacked some of the meatiness it needed. However, I did enjoy it for what it was and don't regret watching it.

All in all, a good and intriguing short BL, but it may leave you unsatisfied and wanting more. The cinematography was worth the watch and the chemistry was good too. I'm already ready for season 2.

10++++ what a web drama. The acting done by the cast show us such a mature side. I hope besides singing that they do more acting as they have mad skills in both. I was sad that this was only 8ep 15min,But just finished and the writers did a great job. The storyline was a 1st for me.
It's about Mono's who can only see shades of grey, but once they find and meet there probe for the 1st time it's overwhelming and they passout. As they connect with there Probs over time it gets easier to experience colors in there proper form. The only problem is mono get greedy and possessive of the probe and it can become deadly. Here we have Choi yeon woo(mono) and Go yoo han(probe) yeon woo has transf to a new school again, but here he is accept for who he is and finally makes friends. As yeonwoo and yoohan start spending time together learning about each other world they become closer. Yeonwoo realizes that he's being more processes of yoohan and doesn't want to hurt him. So instead hurts himself, his sister friends him and takes him to psychiatric hosp. and arranges to move again he agrees. That night he hears tap on window and yoohan climb up building to kidnapp him. They go to the beach and yoohan explains that he has facial blindness and can only see him. So they realize they need each other in more way then one. They admit there feeling and connect on a special relationship.just finished and out of any drama or movie this is #1. A MUST SEE BY ALL?❤️?❤️

Best BL of 2023

Excellent casting and an INCREDIBLE OST! The characters are all super interesting and I love the character development. Khaotung did a great job playing Ray and singing the OST “let’s try”.

It has some mature themes but is also playful at times, the storyline doesn’t feel boring in places and the conversations are kept concise without any boring background or filler scenes. The spicy scenes are also addicting. 10/10.

my favourite couple is SandRay. They were so cute together. The actors have amazing chemistry (really loved them in The Eclipse too).

Woah! Finishing the series feels like finishing one good inspirational book.

It's like I'm watching and reading a book at the same time.

It's a breath of fresh air. I was hesitant to watch this series due to some reviews saying it's too slow and boring. But I'll tell you, go watch it. Watch it especially if you love books and romance. The romance might be slow but damn, the chemistry is there. I really love it.

I also really love the last parts of each episodes where they shows Eun Seob's blog entry. I'd buy it if ever they publish it as a book. This is one of my faves. I also love Seo Kang Joon's eyes!!! Hayyy, I need Season 2! Please!

I rated it 9.5 overall because I am not that satisfied with how it ends. But I understood why it ended that way. Though I still wish for a better ending or maybe another Season of this masterpiece will be better!

Story

- The story is the perfect blend of hospital/work related plot points and the characters personal stories.
- It's not the most exciting show but that is makes it so great. It a comfort to watch.
- There is romance and my first ship in the early episodes of Kim Jun Wan and Chae Song Hwa did not sail. HOWEVER, there is another very interesting romance instead which I did enjoy after the episodes went on.
- My main gripe is the romance between Ahn Jung Won and Jang Gyeo Wool which felt a bit forced.

Acting/Cast

- All the male leads are seasoned actors with Jeon Mi Do being a newcomer to TV acting but a very well known stage actor. All of them were brilliant.
- The training and effort put in to learning each song for the music scenes could not have been easy.
- Kim Jun who plays Ik Jun's son is the most precious.

Music

- The songs are bops.
- From Me to You is my favourite and you all need to listed to the OST version where Jeon Mi Do shows her actual voice which is very lovely.

Rewatch Value

- This show definitely has rewatch value because it makes you happy.
