Reviews

Keep watching, don't listen to the haters. ( I finished this series and loved it)!!!!

All I can say right now is Rowoon has won me over again!
Only at episode 4 while I am writing this quick review and it was so hilarious.
If your the type of watcher that likes to laugh and just enjoy a fun
filled drama, then start watching. The negative reviews are just
from so called watchers who think they could create a better story and
they can't. Bringing down a Drama at first 4 episodes when it's
so fun, only tells that these people are simple targeting greatly
made dramas to keep down the ratings on MDL. In fact it's already
greatly received.

Update after finishing this series-
This was beautifully made and loved how they did not reveal everything in
one go and also loved that the M & F leads had a lot of time for their relationship scenes.
The paste was steady flow, not rushed and the last 5 episodes were wrapped up nicely,
It's quite refreshing to how this story telling was done, most dramas always overload
the last episode but this one paste it and kept what they needed to until the last 2 episodes.
Very good all round cast and the scenes in the office with the co workers made me laughed
alot especially Mr Gong, he somewhat filled the show with his witty unserious character.
My score at the start was 10/10 and it remains the same.

The OSTs were so good especially "I'll Always Be With You" by lyn

Most people will feel connected with the Story.

This is my first ever writing Review. I am writing this because I really love it. It's a story about a girl (SZ) and her brother(SY) friend (DJX). She meet him first time when she was 14 years old and he was 19 years old. At first she like him like a elder brother, because she had fight with his own brother everyday, and she want him to be his brother. But when she 17 years old they met again. This 3 years they did not meet each other. She fail in love with him by his care and protection but He has no romantic feelings for her that time. And another 2 years they have no contact with each other. She go to his city and fail for him again and this time she also protects him. And he also find some feeling for her.

Personal I really like this story. I wait for this like 1 years!! And I never waited for any Drama like this one. This is my best watch drama in 2023. And I like everything about this drama like cast, director, scripts, production etc. Overall must watch drama.

If you are a sucker of good acting,wonderful storyline and beautiful casts then go for it!

I'll try to not give any spoilers.

So if you're searching for a good historical drama and you're considering watching this then just go for it. This drama is adapted from a very famous novel written by Tong Hua and she's also the screenwriter of this drama. So ofc she won’t destroy her own work
But still I was a little afraid of this adaptation because they're not good at adapting these dramas as same the novels. But when I watched the first episodes and trailers I was so assured. I didn’t have any doubts about Yang Zi's acting. She's nailing this role again!
I'm ranking the acting of main characters
Yang Zi>Zhang Wanyi> TanJianci>Dai Luwa>Deng Wei
Tan Jianci did so good!

If we talk about the story, Xiao Yao is disguised as a male character named Wen Xiaoliu and works in a small town as a physician. So naturally this appearance or hers will be shady,poor,no makeup like a hard working male. I heard some people who are rating this drama with 1 star just by watching the poster saying that she's not beautiful enough to get this role ?
Like how badly you wanna say that you didn’t even watched a single episode not even trailers ?

As for Tan Jianci's character, he's a nine header demon serpent. So naturally his character is a bit cruel and ruthless. Idk why some people are taking advantage of this and saying that it’s supporting female abuses! Xiang Liu abuses her cause It's in his nature, and Cang Xuan doesn’t even know she's a girl and as for A nian, well she's also a girl.
I didn’t rate rewatch value 10 because this story will make you cry every in episode!?

It has a great storyline,MARVELLOUS acting and ofc handsome and beautiful casts! If you just have some patience and watch this you’ll get hooked up for real!

This drama is an interesting phenomenon for me. If I write this review as objectively and rationally as possible, I have to be completely honest with myself. This is not the best drama of the year. Nor is it particularly ground-breaking, well-acted or even well written.

That being said, this drama is sublimely successful when it comes to one thing only: romance.

This is a very, very romantic series. And the two lead characters have such believable chemistry and do such a good job of selling the romance that I think audiences are willing to completely ignore all of the other flaws within the drama. I think that in itself is impressive. Perhaps even a craft to be praised?

I like to think of myself as an intelligent girl. Yes, I like to swoon and sigh when watching a drama and I can absolutely appreciate a handsome face and a good kissing scene. And while this drama tries very, very hard to suck me in and give way to those emotions, I can’t. I won’t. And I will admit, within the first few episodes of this drama, I was singing its praises from the rooftops, recommending it to everyone who’d listen. If they were selling T-shirts, I probably would have bought one.

But just like a heavy dose of puppy love that slowly fades with time, I had to admit that all was not coming up roses.

First realized flaw in my puppy love: the historical scenes of this drama are confusing and unclear. They improve slightly as the drama progresses, but not enough. As a viewer, I shouldn’t want to skip through parts of a new drama because the plot line is confusing or simply boring. If the writing was clever, I would look forward to EVERY scene of the drama—appreciating the history and political intrigue of the Joseon era AND looking forward to the romantic complications of the modern world. It essentially means I’m bored with half of the drama. Not good.

Second flaw: the rules created within the fantasy are inconsistent. If, initially, you tell your audience that a particular object is the sole purpose for time travel, stick to it. And if you decide to alter that rule, then please create a plausible plot twist where—-within the pre-established rules of the fantasy-—the time travel is possible again.

For example, and stick with me, let's say a toaster is a key plot device in the drama. If the toaster doesn't work within the parameters of the rules given, but then DOES work suddenly to make it convenient for the plot... That’s lazy and unacceptable. Why did you bother telling me the toaster didn't work? It’s as if the writers gave up. I imagine that a conversation similar to the following took place during production:

“No! We can’t use the toaster! We have to use something else! We already wrote that it doesn’t work! How can we clean this up?? Any ideas??”

*a week later*

“Still no ideas? OK, let’s just go with the toaster. We’ve got a deadline.”

Anyway, this review is getting long but I felt the need to express my opinion amongst all the “Outstanding” ratings. I will admit, this drama is indeed “outstanding” at playing on my libido as a female viewer due to all of the romance and epic face-sucking. But when it comes to my intelligence and common sense, this drama is “good” if I’m being nice. “Fair” if my puppy love has totally dissipated and I completely ignore my libido.

Love but can't own..

Spoiler free review:

Absolutely loved Novoland Pearl Eclipse..The love story between a master and disciple is handled very well with no cringeworthy or awkward scenes..

The main villain who is not a person plays a crucial role in our main couple loveline throughout the drama..Did they overcome it or not is their story!!!

The 2nd couple story is hate turned to love while the 3rd couple has an adorable love story..

The production is very grand..From costume, set designs, lighting, cinematography everything was just amazing..I especially loved all the soundtracks..The lyrics, the soulful voice were so in sync with the love story of the drama..

The ending of the drama is left to the viewers interpretation which I personally didn't like..But despite that I will definitely highly recommend this drama to everyone..Especially those who love student-teacher, age gap, forbidden, slow burn, girl pursuing guy romance trope..

Since this drama is adapted from the novel I would definitly suggest one to read it once after finishing this drama..They mostly kept the essence of the novel except the love triangle..Also toned down the darkness in it..

For me its a must watch drama!!!

I would suggest to at least try the 1st 14 episodes..Then decide whether to continue it or not..


If you want a detailed review...You can scroll down and read the below one..It has major spoilers..


Detailed review with spoiler:

Let me first say that I rarely watch cdrama due to number of episodes each drama have..No cdrama held my interest in the 1st episode itself like Novoland Pearl Eclipse did..I was hooked from the very 1st episode..Each and every episode were meaningful and not dragging at all..

Coming to the story..Let me divide it couplewise..

Fang Jianming - Haishi:

The love story of FangShi is so beautiful..Haishi was gets rescued by Fang Zhu when she was in a dire situation..He gives her a choice to be either a boy or girl..If girl she don't get eaily life but safety..If boy she gets everything but safety..HS chose to be a boy..She becomes disciple of Fang Zhu..While growing up inadvertently she fall for her shifu..It starts with a crush..So as she ages she silently keeps loving him..Fang Zhu who first didn't want to get married due to him being a baixi ( where one gets blood bonded with another person where they become human amulet for other taking all the hurt and pain) to Emperor couldn't help but fall for Haishi's beauty, character and her boldness..But being her shifu and Emperor's baixi he refuses to confess and right away rejects when she confesses her feelings..They both can't be helped but drawn closer however they resist..After many obstacles Fang Jianming becomes selfish for once and gets married to Haishi in private..But fate had other plan..They had to get separated due to the evil Prince Ji Chang who comes to know that HS is a girl and also him getting poisoned which has no antidote..To protect HS..FJM has no option but give her to Emperor and make her his Consort..First HS was so livid seeing his betrayal..Then she comes to know about baixi and decides to help him to break the bond..Even after all these things she didn't once stop loving her shifu..As she knows he loves her and not cold hearted..When the opportunity arose they both escape and live happily after breaking baixi and getting cured of poison with the help of mermaid..But once again fate was cruel..Emperor and Tilan dies and the new born baby has respiratory problem and FJM left with no option but to become his baixi..They both take responsibility of the kid..HS becomes regent looking after the country and Emperor son..While FJM.after escaping from death once again becomes Fang Zhu and becomes grand master to his best friend Di Xu's son..

Its a bittersweet ending as FangShi can't be together publicly..Continue their affair in private with seemingly no ending of baixi..


What I mainly loved about FangShi love story is the way HS pursued shifu..Usually when a heroine falls in love first and pursue hero..They are clingy, annoying and a doormat..No matter how much the hero insults they still beg them to love but here that's not the case..When FJM rejects Haishi's confession..She does fight and question him for giving her mixed signals but don't beg him to love back..She silently loves him and goes on to to do her job..Showed how strong she is!!!

Emperor Di Xu - Tilan:

Emperor Di Xu loved Zizian so much..She was his one true love..After her death he become depressed so much..Zizian father decided to marry his other daughter Tilan to maintain peace..DX gets shocked to the core seeing she is a lookalike of his dead wife..He then keeps torturing her..Tilan being nice, kind girl..Tries her best to be patient with him and takes all the cruel things Emperor does to her..Even **** her..After a while she couldn't take his cruelty and snaps..Eventually he comes to his sane condition after taking advice from Haishi and starts behaving well with Tilan..And falls for her..They live happily and tho at first her body becomes weak due to birth control concoction she becomes pregnant..They live happily for a while..But Suolan who is brother of Tilan had other plans..He masterminds a rebellion and in that battle Emperor and Tilan both dies..Leaving their son on the hands of FJM..

The only problem I had with XuLan love is that Emperor crossed the line and **** her..If he didn't then it could have been one of the best hate turned to love story..

Zhouying - Zhe Liu:

Zhouying was recued by Fang Zhu and becomes disciple of him..He sees ZL and falls in love..ZY loves her secretly without showing his face..But due to a massacre by poisoning in Fabric Office where ZL works, she loses her eyesight..Even then he loves her deeply..But fate has other choice..ZY belongs to Huku tribe..He is destined to become King of his tribe and maintain peace with Dazheng..So Shifu asks ZL to fake taking her own life..After knowing ZL died ZY gets heartbroken but does what his shifu asks..He joins right tribe and gets married to Tara for political reasons..While ZL in hiding keeps being a spy..After ZY defeats his brother, reunites the Huku tribes and become King..ZL finds ZY after that and they get reunited and gets their HE..

I really loved their love story..It was cute and adorable..

Fang Jiangming - Emperor Di Xu:

I absolutely loved their friendhsip bonding..DX never wanted FJM to become his baixi..But FJM did that on his own during Prince Yi rebellion..As due to him DX lost Zizian and their unborn child..And also he had no one else but DX his best friend..He couldn't afford to lose him..So he did baixi to save him..Time and again DX wanted to break baixi but FJM clearly refused as he was scared he might take his own life..Now due to baixi he can't..As if he did its FJM who will die first..Tho initially Emperor is cruel to FJM due to taking away his rights to live or die, he with time becomes his old self..Throughout the drama we see how much he cares for FJM..So when FJM asks to break baixi bond as he is in love he becomes ecstatic and ready to do it..But instead was forced to make FJM lover HS his Consort on his request..When he gets another chance to break the baixi bond..He does it..And grants FJM wish to leave the palace and live somewhere else..Even tho he knew he gonna lose his friend and a brilliant officer he does it happily for him..In the end when DX dies..FJM once again ready to become his baixi and save him..But he refuses and asks him to take care of his kid..Which FJM does by becoming Prince Weiyun baixi..

Zhouying - Haishi:

I absolutely love their siblings bonding..The way how ZY always takes care of HS..Even both playing cupid to each other love..Their relationship was heartwarming and one of the best..


Haishi - Tilan:

They defined sisterhood..Tilan from not disclosing that Haishi is a girl to helping and comforting her when she becomes new consort..Always understanding and supportive..Loved their bonding..

Emperor - Eunuch Mu:

Their bonding is beautiful too..Initially they brought out the humor in the drama..And till ending Mu remained loyal to him..

Villains:

From Su Ming, Duoluo,fake Princess, Prince Ji Chang and the mastermind Suolan and his father..They all played their role well..Especially JC being fake was one of the shocking twist..

But for me baixi is the main villain in this story..Sadly it was not defeated..

Production, Costumes and Soundtracks:

The production is of high value..The drama looks likes its a movie..Costumes were so beautiful..Be it for actor or actress..Elegant..Its very rare for a drama to have all its OST to be amazing..But this drama has that..They are both soulful and touching with beautiful lyrics..

Acting:

Yang Mi:

She lived as Haishi..From a teen crushing on her shifu, girl in unrequited love, warrior, Imperial Guard, girl in requited love, as a boy in disguise, being a women forced to become Consort and later to becoming Empress..She nailed all the roles to perfection..

Willaim Chan:

He was the most misunderstood actor and character in the drama..For me he portrayed the role of shifu to perfection..A coldhearted person who shows no emotion..People who claim that he should have shown micro expressions through his eyes..I totally disagree..He should be a statue to show in difference..As people usually read others through eyes only..Its a give away..So being a person who shows no emotion, then in flashback being a carefree teenager, then a guy in love showing vulnerability, a warrior, a strategist, being hopelessly and happily in love, a guy in mask, then giving into fate..He nailed all these role to perfection..

Xu Kai Cheng:

From being a ruthless Emperor, to a guy hopelessly in love, then being depressed, warrior, fun loving person, a bipolar person, then coming out of depression and falling in love again..XKC portrayed all these roles amazingly..

Chen Xiao Yun:

For Tilan from being a naive, kindhearted girl..To when a situation arise standing up for herself and then showing empathy to Emperor, girl in love..

For Zizian..Girl who loves her hubby deeply..

All were portrayed beautifully by her..We can clearly see how both roles where different.

Wang Sen:

WS portrayed the double role amazingly..The evil DL and kind ZY, as a loving brother, as a loyal disciple, guy who lost his love, a guy who got everything in the end..All were portrayed very well..

Yuan Yu Xuan:

From being young naive girl to becoming a smart and intelligent spy who lost her eyesight..She absolutely slayed the role..

Chemistry:

YM & WC:

FangShi being my most favorite..I loved their chemistry the most..For me their chemistry was understated yet lit..Understandable due to shifu-student relationship..Also due to shifu being a pursued one rather than the pursuer..Totally get them..

XKC & CXY:

I loved DX - Zizian couple chemistry more..Tilan one was good too..

WS & YYX:

Their chemistry was beautiful and I loved them too..

One of the rarest of rare drama where in loved all couples in a cdrama..

My take on the ending:

Yes..I am happy Fang Jianming survived..But what's make me unhappy is that baixi returned..And its back to where the drama started..He becoming Fang Zhu and hiding his face with mask..

And even if FangShi had kids..Publicly they can't acknowledge them..And if HS has a son now..It would be known as Emperor son..Given how Weiyun is alive..In future its highly possible that FangShi son might become baixi to him too..So yes..I am highly disappointed with the ending..Its an open ending for me..

But nevertheless..I thoroughly enjoyed all the 48 episodes..Its the journey whats that matter..Like looking for new episodes daily..Discussing about the drama..And fangirling over FangShi..It was an amazing experience!!! So I will highly recommend this drama!!!

Reduced 0.5 ratings for story and rewatch value coz of the ending..

To those who are skeptical..Don't..Just try it for yourself till episode 14..If even then you don't find this drama interesting enough then this is not for you..

P.S: This is my first time reviewing a drama..No idea how its done too..So ignore any grammatical and typo error..Also feedback is appreciated..

Why so overrated?!

I hardly write a review for dramas that I am not interested in rewatching. But, I am just surprised how many reviews were rated 10s and very few (like me) who were disappointed. There were a couple of touching scenes but then the story went nowhere with that touching/sad feeling built up from the very beginning. I found myself disappointed again and again. The scene where he was about to die and jumped/flew off the cliff...I was like "OH NOOO" and then he survived (in a not very realistic way). I was expecting the FL to shed tears and care for him once she found out that he did not die...but then, she stood outside and said "him and I are no longer together..." I was like: "Where is this going, MY GOODNESS!!!" She was angry that he chose to die or revenge and that she wasn't his first priority but...this ML loved her so much and had always protected her with no hesitation... I am so confused where the story was going... They separated for 5 years and I was waiting for that touching scene to come back to me again...but then, nothing. He sacrificed himself and then FL regretted and said I have forgiven you already...Then he appeared out of nowhere and then back together... Mmmhh... I don't know why everything seemed so disconnected where I just can't feel the emotional part of the story... In the end, all I felt was "I guess that's the ending?! What was the story about again?" Part 1 is pretty entertaining but Part 2 is kinda boring I think...Still worth watching...the ML is really, really cute!! Just don't expect too much from the last 4-5 episodes...

I mainly only started watching Producer because of all the hype that was going in to it because of the very amazing cast that was IU, Kim Soo Hyun, Cha Tae Hyun and Gong Hyo Jin. I'd only watched Soo Hyun's previous work of My Love From The Stars, but he was amazing in that so I knew he would be able to pull off an entirely new sort of character. Besides a few low points, I really enjoyed this drama, and I'm one of those people that were glad it changed from a mockumentary to a romcom.

The story of Producer was something very new and original, and it showed a lot of potential. However, it did start off very slow. And to be honest, I don't know why they even used to story of Seung Chan's one-sided love for Ji Yeon. It wasn't even necessary to the plot of the drama. But once the latter half of the drama started, it got really good. I enjoyed Seung Chan's developing love for Ye Jin (although, I'm glad the Umbrella couple seemed like the winning couple near the end), and all the elements of producing. I really liked when we saw scenes focusing on Music Bank, like when Seung Chan and Cindy were going up in the lift together. It was so cute. I also loved the small love story between Hong Sun and Yang Mi, it was so funny to watch. Anyway, despite the slowness at the beginning, it was a really great story.

There was nothing to complain in the acting department. They were all great. To start off with, I'll talk about the main cast. Cha Tae Hyun was absolutely hilarious with his character of PD Ra Joon Mo, and he showed a very realistic side of a producer. Focusing a lot of his time of 2D1N, mouthing off at the rookie and showing genuine concern for those he cares about, like Ye Jin, Yuna and Cindy. Next off, Gong Hyo Jin was a lovely actress and she perceived her character of PD Tak Ye Jin very well. Although, the density of her character did annoy me, it was because of how the writers made Ye Jin, not how Hyo Jin acted her out. She did a lovely performance. Now, Kim Soo Hyun. His character of PD Baek Seung Chan was something completely different to his previous work of Do Min Joon, and yet, he was great at it. I also loved how he immersed himself in the character, as shown in interviews in Entertainment Weekly. Lastly, IU. I absolutely loved her character of Cindy, and she was so enjoyable to watch. I loved her slow but sure love development for PD Umbrella (aka Seung Chan). I just wish she got more screen time as I believe she got the least amount out the whole main cast. All of the supporting cast were brilliant as well, and Na Young Hee did another excellent job of making me annoyed at her character. My only problem was the girl who played Ji Ni (aka the next Cindy; Cindy No.2). Her acting wasn't the greatest, and was slightly stiff.

The music for this drama was also lovely, and I loved IU's single of 'Heart'. Although I'm not 100% sure that song was for the Producer drama (as I know it was also featured in We Got Married), it was released at the same time as the drama was still airing, so I'm just going to count it. However, besides IU's track, none of the other tracks were very memorable and didn't stand out well.

As much as I have enjoyed this drama massively, the only time I would re-watch this again is when I'm really bored. I have many other dramas I wish to focus on, and I also have to get through my last few weeks of school before I start thinking of re-watching another drama.

Overall, despite one acting choice, a slow start at the beginning of the drama and not very memorable tracks, this drama is very much worth watching and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in a good romantic comedy.

Big Mouth = Big Mouse

One of the dramas that I have been waiting for is actually airing and I couldn’t be happier.

My favorite type of dramas are the kinds that make me feel something.. as someone who gets bored easily and is a pessimist about things.. but I always knew that this drama was going to be really good. Now will it be amazing?

The last drama that I watched like this was Flower of Evil, both have my favorite actors and both are thrilling and unpredictably. I’m betting Big Mouth will be just as refreshing of a drama. And so far everything is looking to be good, I don’t see how this drama could be screwed up, everything is all there for me.

You’ve got the pacing- which moves along smartly and doesn’t drag. The drama isn’t shying away from blood and is getting pretty heavy off the bat- and then you have the acting and chemistry between the actors.

Lee Jong Suk is a heartthrob, I know he can swoon and be charming. I also know he can be scary as hell when he needs to be. Here you’ve got everything coming from him. I love that he is doing a drama that is able to show his full range- from being a flirtatious husband to a money hungry man.. he honestly is questionable with his morals but is still so likeable. There aren’t many episodes yet, but this is such a promising role for Lee Jong Suk- and so far you can really tell how well and immersed he is in this role. I was waiting for his first project back from the military and this doesn’t disappoint. Im Yoon Ha plays his wife and is also likeable. So far they have an interesting and playful dynamic as a young married couple, and I’m interested to see how devoted they are to each other as the plot develops further.

Episode two is where things went in a completely different direction than expected. Changso is put in prison wrongly and his wife is insisting he is innocent. It’s the premise of the show in the description so I expected that.. but the execution was done so well that I was blinded really. The way he ended up there was shocking, and it’s not just for shock factor either. I really like the whole underdog aspect of being in jail, and by the end of episode two I like how strong we see Changso really could be.. he could honestly become some sort of leading figure in the prison if he wanted. He could be the bad guy if he needs to and I would still like him. Lee Jong Suk brilliantly plays him, especially in the scenes when he is questioned if he is Big Mouse. The writing is done well enough where it’s noticed that he never gives an exact answer.. so it makes me wonder if he really is the major criminal? All signs point to him and even in his personal moments he is never confirmed not to be Big Mouse- but we do know he’s a big mouth. (Honestly the guy likes to provoke others)

I am enjoying the whole persona that Changho is forced take on, and from the warning he gives about becoming a bad guy- you start to see things that could show him possibly truly becoming that. In the end big mouse may not be him (still wondering who..) but he has taken on that role and may be going to far to turn back. The acting of specific scenes floor me and more than that the whole plot twists and overall story are so entertaining that you don’t want to miss a second.

In short, Big Mouth is worth the wait. It’s impressive with its visuals and is something I can tell that I’ll feel bad if people look past and not watch. Watch it, it’s very good- be a part of the airing process and feel thrilled each week. This show is a serious contender to be a drama of the year, and for me personally it’s definitely becoming a favorite.

The ending might be controversial, but to me it was clean cut. This drama stayed thrilling and faced paced. To the end it really was that good. I loved it and have nothing to complain about outside of one glaring issue that I won’t spoil.

Don't click is aptly named -- you really shouldn't click and watch this movie.

It is a horror movie that takes from others (The Ring) and tries to modernize the whole "cursed tape" theme. While I applaud the effort - it is essentially a whole film of a bunch of schoolkids running from a cctv camera.

The characters act as they would in a horror movie: completely illogically and "I feel like dying today"ily - which makes for some rather hilarious scenes.

The motive behind it all is pretty shallow, and the moral of the story being: "Don't say mean things on the internet! The internet is a bad place!"

It is an un-scary yet quite hilarious "horror" movie.

A succession of gore and betrayal

I’ll start by saying that the production is very good, but it’s not a surprise as there is nothing less to expect from Netflix. All the actors did a great job.
They tried hard to come up with a fresh story about zombies. In brief, the drama Is the typical survival race against zombies with a mix of gore & korean school issues such as bullying, teen sex, etc.

From the origin to the virus to the end with Nam-ra & “others like her”, it is poorly explained and doesn’t really make sense.
The drama could have been good, but unfortunately, It is overall a disappointment. The characters aren’t developed and it became a succession of unfortunate events, of useless fights between the characters, of human beings at their lowest points, etc. It feels they tried so hard to go against cliches that they just made the worst happened to “surprise” you.
Some characters & scenes are useless to the story & it feels that some scenes were added to add length to the story but definitely failed to add depth. The teenager who had a baby. On-Jo’s father who spent 10 episodes to look for, but died after 1,5 min he reunited with her, The bully that stays alive (but we don’t know how) & spent all episodes to run after ML to finally gauge his eye out and died with him. Etc, etc...

It reminded me a lot #Alive but with schoolmates rather than neighbours. The drama format was issueless and they could have made a movie out of this story, it would have probably avoided all the unnecessary added scenes.
