Spoiler!!!

Plot is really nice. It's happens in real life.. mostly society didn't easily accept the age gap between to couple. In this drama fl 35 y/o and ml 24 y/o. Drama very nice. Both main leads and other cast also portray their role very well. Little bit slow plot. Romantic scenes really gives goosebumps and butterflies.

Story of 35 year old woman. Her bf dumped her after dating 10 years. Giving rubbish reason she is not exciting. After she don't want date anyone. Her bestfriend brother return from usa after 3 years and who start taking interest in her. Then their secret lovestory start. Secret romance from family friends and office colleague. I think small spoiler is enough.

The colors of my world, are also colors of his world.

Okay, so first I'm saying that this is one of my fave short BL drama ever!

STORY
I had no idea how the concept of colors may turned into something very pleasing to both my eyes and heart. It was new for me and I love it. I do really like a lot the idea of MONO's and PROBE's. I'm surely know that if it is a full length drama, they can give us more. The flow of the story is so good and I also love how they educate me of the different color shades and variants. They even did a good job on writing the lines cause I really do enjoy it a lot. I'm just hoping that they didn't have to let Yoo Han become a person with face blindness as a twist cause it's not really needed. I mean if I am Yoo Jun, maybe I doubted Yoo Han intentions, cause I will think that the only reason he likes me is because I am the only one he can fully see a face. But well, overall the concept was a top tier for me.

ACTING or CAST
Hmmm. Some people say that Hyun Jun acting is stiff and robotic but I don't agree with them. Yes, at some point I found him kind of loss with the acting but it is just for a few moment and I guess it is also suitable for his role, as a guy who always wear mask, hmmm mysterious like that. Then we have, Yoo Jun, I don't have anything bad to say about his acting cause he slay it. For being a student who builds wall around him to turning his soft sides with Hyun Jun. He's literally good and deliver his role perfectly. I AM IN LOVE WITH THE CHEMISTRY. I can feel, I even scream for few of their scenes, and most importantly I enjoy it. Butterflies in my stomach!!

MUSIC

The moment I hear that opening song, I already go to Spotify and add it to my playlist cause it's so very beautiful. OST is one of the reason on why this drama is a must!

This time, this love... I'm singing right now hahahaha


Overall, I give this a 10/10 rating cause they deserve it. For a 8 episodes drama with 15 mins duration, this drama fulfill the goal of making the viewers fall in love with them. One of the best Korean BL I've ever watched! Thank you for allowing us to enter the world where MONO's and PROBE's exist. Just like Yoo Jun statement's in the last episode "The world of colors is infinite, just like one's love for another." I hope you, the one reading this review, may also find the perfect person who will give a aesthetically beautiful color to you life cause I know we do all deserve someone who will treat us perfectly.

I love you, Color Rush.

maybe cause i've watched the drama, this fell short. the editing didn't do it any favors, there were parts missing that didn't flow well, a lack of info that would make scenes from one scene to the next - here were missing.

so the only reason anyone would watch is (cause here the "sex" scene wasn't edited out ) which was erotic (i guess) to me it was kinda cringe, so skipped it. But after that (here) the morning after, Seung Hyun doing a runner cause he saw the ballpoint pen was a bit ridiculous IMHO.
1. the dude (supposed to be) a virgin, so when he finally does "give up his V-card", would one run out on the person u finally gave it too (?) when they were good to u & were being sweet?!? without any type of explanation. or hang around to clear the air idk anything but disappear (especially when u work together OMG, this movie was a glaring warning to why one shouldn't get involved in office romances - that's my main take-away from this...)(ノへ ̄、)
2. he finally got the hot guy he was salivating over - a guy that was out of his league (in his head). not to mention this time around it wouldn't be an unrequited love. so make it make sense that he tried to ghost Jong Chan, cause Yoo Seong didn't know he existed?!? \(〇_o)/like plz -

& after hearing out Jong Chan, talking it out with Ji Yeon (his bff) he's still passively waiting for Jong Chan to make the 1st move - why?!? cause he's the "bottom"??? i hate this b.s. trope, can't stomach it when we talking FL's in K-drama's, not gonna find a taste for it cause this a BL & we talking about an ML - like plz with this crap!
he was in the wrong, Not Jong Chan - so it was his mess to clear-up ugh with this toxic, passive personality that is the norm cause everyone else eating it up (╬▔皿▔)╯
him being cute, clueless, inexperienced, insecure, younger (or any other reason u can think of) doesn't make his actions the day after OK. & as an adult that wants to be in a relationship he should know better, apologize & work on his sh*t so people would want to be in a relationship with him (but this dramaland, so never mind~(>_<。))

on a whole this was ok - if i wanna revisit, would watch the drama - Not (!) this.

Unique charm and care

I decided to give this one a chance. I thought for sure this would be a standard BL pulp but it was actually a lot more heartfelt than I thought it would be.

The plot line isn’t anything special but I think the show shines in it’s unique and interesting characters. Especially Noey, who’s eccentric and playful in a way I haven’t seen in a BL before (and I have watched a lot of BL lol). The leads both have decent character development, each teaching each other something over the course of the show.

Couple of negatives. The age gap. It’s noticeable and I wasn’t a particular fan. Noey looks like he’s 13 and Thi looks like an adult. The actors are of age but still gave me the ick.
Thi is kind of annoying. I’m usually fine with awkward characters but he made me especially cringe for some reason lol.

I actually liked the soundtrack. The show implies that Noey is interested in old-school music and films because of his late father. They showed instead of told us, so it overall just felt like good writing.

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for something lighthearted. I probably won’t rewatch but it was a fun one-time watch.

This is Must Watch 100% Binge worthy K-drama and You will not regret it

"The Judge from Hell" absolutely blew my mind! It’s one of those K-dramas that manages to balance thrilling supernatural elements with unexpected humor, and I couldn’t get enough of it. Park Shin-hye as Judge Bit-na is iconic—she’s intense, commanding, and just hilarious when throwing people into eternal punishment! Her role as a demon judge forced to work alongside human Detective Da-on introduces a fascinating dynamic. Their chemistry, anchored in a blend of duty, wit, and opposing moral codes, adds complexity and charm to the story. Kim Jae-young's Detective Da-on is the perfect balance to her, bringing this calm, sometimes reluctant partner energy that made their teamwork addictive to watch. Praised for exploring moral ambiguities, the show questions traditional justice by contrasting Bit-na's unyielding punishments with Da-on’s measured, law-abiding approach. This tug-of-war on justice adds depth to a plot already brimming with action, suspense, and even moments of comic relief.

The cinematography / CGI? Chef’s kiss. The eerie underworld visuals mixed with courtroom suspense kept me on the edge of my seat every episode. Plus, the way it dives into moral gray areas without losing its charm is what makes it such a unique gem. This show had me laughing, gasping, and occasionally shouting at the screen. Judge Bit-na might be from Hell, but this series is heavenly, I can't wait to rewatch it a million times and Please please Season 2 if possible. The tension, plot twists, and their chemistry keeps you glued to every episode. This K-drama doesn’t just serve up thrills but also dives into themes of justice and morality in a unique, memorable way. If you’re a K-drama fan, it’s a must-watch❤️

This was an ok Lakorn...not enough kissing scenes coming from Weir like he usually do. The female to me was not in character or too stiff. This lakorn was a whirlwind, I guess that is why Pong Nawat and Pancake dropped out of doing this lakorn. Like I said, it was ok I fast forward to get to some of the good parts

Painful but heart-warming drama.

I've watched a lot of xianxia dramas and I include this drama as one of my favorites, Zhao Lusi and Wang Anyu's Chemistry are really superb!!♥‿♥

I love seeing the character change from A yin and Gu Jin who are cute and adorable to Feng Yin and Yuan Qi who are elegant and powerful, they both brought this drama sooo well!!! Zhao Lusi and Wang Anyu also performed the OST for this drama, the song is very touching and sad but it makes me want to hear it over and over again.

Li Yunrui and Jianaina's chemistry as the second lead pair cannot be doubted either, I really like their relationship dynamics, where they fight for a while, then they make up, then become enemies again and finally become a sweet couple!

Everyone is working hard on this drama, hoping that F4 can be together again in one project in the future!!

Very meh

Okay so. Before I get in, just keep in mind I just dropped the movie and I even gave it so many chances to the point I couldn't stand it anymore.

First of all, the characters were just so 'non-human'. Let me put it better : I felt like I was watching dolls moving. I don't know why especially when the cast is composed of well-known actors that I also love...
The 'tomboy-poker face senior everyone seems to be smitten for' (already forgot their names...) was just roaming around, playing with the girls' hearts knowing damn well the 'power' she has on their feelings... After that, she would do : Nothing throughout the whole movie...
The girl she is in love with (apparently lol) is a character I just hate. She litteraly skipped her friend (who she knew had an obvious crush on the 'juliet girl'/tomboy) after getting close to her... Like even if I don't really like the idea of her dating her friend's crush, I would have respected her choice if she had at least kept in touch with her friend and not be sticking ALWAYS with the other girl like she's doing.

Then let's talk about the chemistry. Of course, it's a romance movie so obviously there would be chemistry huh ? Well not here.
I litteraly don't undestand how they ended up loving each other when all they do is stare at each other most of the time with the 'juliet girl' showing no emotions and the other girl always smiling. It felt both so odd and plain to watch these scenes. Plus from what I saw (I stopped at 1:02:38), the plot was really lacking...
Even Youtube low budgets-series do better atp. I was very disappointed since GLs are really rare and sadly, often low budgets if there are any but I decided to give it a chance. I now regret my decision.
I mean the 'juliet girl' has even more chemistry with her male friend (my fav character in all this) than she has with Ha-nam (the tomboy girl, I think it's her name...?).


To end this, I really felt like I wasted my time on this. It was a 'plot-less' movie imo.
Btw shoutout to this scene where the 'shy girl/romeo girl ?' was laying on a bench, her face litteraly covered by her friend's skirt. It got me like 'wth?'.

Also I haven't seen that much of the character of that girl directing the musical but I don't know, I like her. She seems to like the 'shy girl' but I might be wrong.
I don't know what happened between 'shy girl's sister and the female director but they seem to have a background together now that I think of it


Plz I wanna know about what the two things I made hypothesies on below so feel free to spoil me lmao. Also I didn't intended to be cruel, if you think I was, in my review. i'm just writing about my feelings right after my watching session.

The second couple's storyline was better than the main couple's own

So, I binged watched this like I did for the first season and now I have completed season two as well. And what can I say? While season two dealt with some hard hitting issues, I prefered season one more.

Story-8/10
Doing this based on the two main couples, cause if I even add Tee to the equation, I'mma give it a low score due to how much I despise that man!

James and Ait-7/10
Dude! Your storyline annoyed the crap out of me, except coming close to the end. I really wasn't that much invested in caring about thier storyline. I only felt something (got a little emotional) in the last episode. Otherwise than that- nada. So, I'm giving it a 7.

Bas and Marco-9/10
My heart fricking breaked everytime Bas was on the screen. His character went through so much! And to finally see that he got his happy ending with Marco- loved it! I will admit that the ending, personally for me with them felt a bit fast paced. But, hey? I ain't complaining as Bas finally got what he truly deserved. As such, I give them a 9.

Overall I give the story an 8.

Acting/Cast-9/10
Michael's acting as Bas has once again taken the cake in this series. When he cried, I cried. When he was (finally) happy, I was happy. In the first season I gave a 9 just due to Michael's acting. Think I'm gonna do it again!

Music-7.5/10
While the majority of the music was phenomenal, I felt that one of the music just didn't do it for me. As such, I gave a 7.5.

Rewatch Valu- 6.5/10
The rewatch value would be higher if it was just Bas and Marco (I would watch that series so much!) But, unfortunately, it is not. As such I give this series 6.5.

Overall-8/10
Said it once and gonna say it again. The only good thing from this series was Michael's acting as Bas. He blew me away with his acting and I really do want to see him in other series.

Best COMFORT, SWEET SIMPLE DRAMA...FULL OF LOVE

I usual don't write...this is my second time that I am writing a review.
I found this drama really sweet... NO OVERACTING, NO EXTRA DRAMA, NO TOXICITY, NO FORCE OF THINGS TO HAPPEN ...just pure emotions...and understanding for each other.


How is make you comfortable?
KARAN:-
A loves someone for years secretly... without any expectations...
though he waited for this for long time since he respect your emotions, your discomfort, don't force yourself on you, love you the way you are, make you feel special... understand you in every possible way.

ACHI:-
A person who is never been in relationship try to figure out things how he will good in a relationship...
how will not disappoint another person.
Try not to take advantage of another's emotions and feelings.

The thing I love about ACHI AND KARAN relation is they.... RESPECT eachother, they GIVE SPACE to eachother THEY SUPPORT eachother...they try to UNDERSTAND eachother emotions and feelings... THEY DON'T FORCE one to another....
The thing I LIKE THE MOST IS.... is not necessary always you to kiss after your confession...you should give yourself and another time to adjust and adapt the things ( may be most of the people don't like this) you don't have to touchy and have intimacy to show your love...
Your small gesture always show love towards eachother other...

THEY SHOW HOW A RELATIONSHIP GROW SLOWLY...HOW TWO PEOPLE TRUST EACHOTHER AND PROVIDE COMFORT TO EACHOTHER.

MIN & JINTA
they are cute , sweet, a good understanding realation.... ( But I just find a little bit lack of chemistry between them)

ROCK & PAI
they are cutest... Their relation is sweet and spicy.... Even PAI knows Rock feelings are genuine...but she still needs her time and ROCK has no problem in that.


OVERALL THIS DRAMA IS SIMPLE, SWEET, COMFORTABLE...
FILLED WITH LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, UNDERSTANDING, SUPPORTIVE PEOPLE.

Disturbing? Yes. But I just know we're all simping for Sae-byeok.

If I was just going off the title and didn't see the poster, I would be so disturbed by this show that I wouldn't be able to sleep for a few days.

Let's dissect the story. I love how it not only quickly introduces the main character, but also briefly brings up the other few main characters all within the first episode. It is fast-paced, and it brings about a new 'topic' every few episodes -- though not disconnected. The one thing that prevented it from having a 9/10 was the ending. It is the typical Netflix Original ending, as with Love Alarm, Extracurricular, and Vagabond; it gives you that unsettling ending that makes you long for a season 2 or explanation.

Let's now talk about the cast. I didn't really like the main character, but mostly because I couldn't relate with his character. His actor, Lee Jung Jae, did an amazing job portraying his desperation and poorness. As for all the side characters, I think I really fell in love with Sae-byeok and Ha Joon. Sae-byeok's role and her scene with Ji Yeong really made me cry; I always remember scenes and characters that make me cry. As for Ha Joon, I was just always a fan of the actor that played him. Unless there is a season 2, I don't really get the significance of his character at the moment though.

Overall, I would RECCOMEND this drama--but do not watch if you are looking for wholesome or romantic content.
