Very strong start but loosing it in the second half...

This series started very strong with the vibes of "Cherry Magic" and "Old Fashion Cupcake". It was really cute to watch. In the second half the series lost it's way with the hardcore denial of Suzume to allow him to be happy. The team expanded the manga in a meaningful way and I liked the episode with the co-workers children and the overtime work (because of a mistake of one of the co-workers). But most of the other episodes streched out the story without more substance. It would have been so much better when Suzume & Keishi would have grown naturally into a relationsship without the "denial" of a relationsship. Maybe they liked to be true to this aspect of the manga but for me it felt excessive. Otherwise they made the whole "marketing department" much more realistic and believable compared to the manga.

While they denied us the kiss during the rain they at least did it properly in the finale which is a big plus compared to most other JBLs. The actors were choosen perfectly and I liked their version of Suzume much more. Keishi is more like the manga but more reserved. I don't think there was a problem with their chemistry. It was more mature and respectful. Suzume was acted (& directed) overly shy which irked me a bit, especially because this would not be his first relationsship, so this aspect did not make much sense for me. Considering his age, he should have handled that situation much more mature even when he acts childish in some aspects at his home.

After such a strong start it was a bit disappointing in the end. I wished they would have cut this series to the typical 8 episodes without the dragging out... but on the other hand the extra storylines added personality especially for Suzume and a realistic atmosphere. It has many cute and some fluffy moments and some moments where you might get angry. Production quality was top-notch and overall it was worth watching.

We are all alone is based on a same titled novel and portrays the successes and the struggles of Mo Xiang Wan as she navigates her life and her career in the Chinese Entertainment Industry.

Mo Xiang Wan is like the Margaret Thatcher of showbiz, a shrewd agent - talent spotter, talent developer, artist manager, babysitter, problem solver. All in one. A professional with a conduct and no space for love in her life except for her talents. Being considered 'the agent' brings a lot of perks i.e. leading roles offers for her artists, top pick in endorsements... but also a lot of envy in her two arch-rivals: Judy and Zhu He. Judy wants her job and Zhu He, Yu Jiang's wife, shareholder of Qi Li Culture fully backs her, fermenting a volcanic hate for Mo Xiang Wan, her husband's protege.

She raised from the ashes to be successful only to be thrown to the wolves and being forced to rise again amongst them. The thing is people evolve and mature and when the world comes crumbling down, a high conscience means peace of mind and moving on. Qi Li Culture enabled Mo Xiang Wan to succeed, Judy and Zhu He plotted to bring her down but she would not stay down, rising again until the time where Qi Li Culture no longer felt like home and then it was time to part ways and forge a new path.

Although Godfrey Gao & Wang Zi Yi are listed as having main roles in the drama, the only main role belongs to Qin Lan as all other characters are the ones she influences and interacts with and share a similar screen time around Mo Xiang Wan who drives the story - she is the story.

We are all alone portrays love in showbiz; filming scheduling; filming conflict; fan wars; fan reactions and actions and how they make and break an artist; backstabbing; contract disputes; script changes; image management and damage control; love and one of the most contemporary illnesses that exist in the world: depression, here celebrity depression which is often masked with anti-depressions or painkillers taken to ease the mental pain reflected in the body due to sadness or other issues like loss of fans for example, although here in the drama is love sickness. How many young celebrities have suffered from depression? Many but how many have spoken openly about battling it? A smaller number.

Beauty and money do not necessarily equal happiness. They equal the value others attribute to it and that can cause a lot of pressure as beauty fades and money slips through the fingers when artists are no longer popular and have to work three times harder to get a certain level of popularity back. Showbiz is ruthless. We are all alone shows exactly how much.

The story has a regular pace which might appear slow at times but it's well executed and realistic. Here that's more important than speed. The themes it approaches are contemporary and modern, portraying the reality of showbiz, rather than a lovey-dovey romantic story fairy-tale set in Shanghai's entertainment industry which is brilliant and fresh.

For all of the above, we are all alone merits an overall rating of 10 out of 10.

I really just don't understand the hype for this. I just could not get into this at all. I was so excited to watch it once I found out it had to do with DID (dissociative identity disorder) as well as after hearing all the rave reviews, but I couldn't be anymore let down. My biggest issue is with the portrayal of the illness (DID) I know this is a k-drama so I didn't expect textbook accuracy with a mental health consultant on site during filming or anything like that, but the portrayal of DID is just so silly and flat out stupid that it completely removes any empathy I felt for Do Hyun's illness. When he switches personalities, it's much more akin to a comic book villain transforming than it is someone changing personalities due to mental illness. I could stand for the corny eye color/tattoo change thing if that was my only issue, but add to that the seizure like tantrums he experiences when he switches on top of that and I just have checked out at this point. Despite my faults with the portrayal of the illness, there was some interesting plot lines here, but they were all so convoluted and muddled to the point that I hardly ever knew what was going on. I've never been one for bureaucratic/corporate espionage and conspiracy plot lines, but the ones here were just so exceptionally dull. It was way too much, all the different family dramas, the corporate theatrics, the mental illness, murder mysteries, all kind of thrown together into one incomprehensible mess. I really wish this had focused much more on Do Hyun staying inpatient while battling his illness and trying to recover his memory, while also dealing with the blossoming relationship between himself and his doctor (the female lead) I had a lot of issues with the tone as well. It's kind of all over the place, and I love a lot of drama sthat transcend genres. This just comes off more as desperate and unfocused rather than creative and eclectic. I also found this show to be quite ugly to look at as well. Just very dry and washed out looking... I don't know. I don't mean to rag on this drama too much as I can understand why some people would enjoy it but there's just too much going on for me.  There is a great show buried deep down somewhere in this mess. I just wish I cared enough to dig and find out.

Cuteness overload!
It's Simple :
Super Duper Adorable, Cute & Sweet, Warm, Fun, Weird, Light-Hearted.
Off-course imaginable only in a cute manga setting,
..Although..the female lead; her simple hearted foolishness withdraws us from thinking seriously about stuff, which we probably should have, she is a simple girl who just does what her heart tells her to do.
The male lead is too noble to comment on, he is like a Buddha out of a manga Hero, ..should I say Manga Buddha?!(no offense intended) hmmm ..he is too young & innocent, brave, wise, skilled, disciplined, respected, good hearted, beautiful (yes beautiful!), and handsome yet strong willed; all around Hero and Crush Worthy .. off-course totally drool worthy as well but oh, he is too young :D Yap ! he is Perfect, so we have to forgive our simple minded heroine for all her falling head over heals can't stay away from him attitude! <3

......the criticisms for the story are simply wiped out in my mind by its sheer straightforward foolish simplicity and all encompassing hilarious weirdness (characteristic of Jdorama manga adaptations I have watched previously) which somehow makes it refreshing and oh so sweet..weird, foolish, sweet ...and totally adorable. its not possible to talk more about this without going into some plot details so I will skip all that.
Spoiler.. ............Its as if the writer is saying; 'keeping it simple , the parents simply are that understanding and letting go', not going into their own pain and concerns, off-course with a son that genius, anything is possible in the future, right!! (I suppose they thought like that?! .......there! had to get that out of my system haha)

This is NOT a serious drama though, so let go off "we wouldn't actually necessarily support this in this way in real life. " when going ahead to watch this, but you probably won't regret having done that.

Only one thing remains at last; The chemistry of both the cutesy leads, is 'Cute & Adorable', yet Warm, Sweet ..heartwarming and pulls you in, cheering for them hard, despite everything, even intense in a way..something that is very sweet about it, is also very intense.
The setting is..quite creative & fresh, it looks like its been done before but its cool & different in a way. Its is actually a pretty creative storyline, in its light heartedness.

Spoiler_ish.........Not only does she herself falls in love in a decisive yet uncomplicated way in an instant, She pulls his heart in and makes it all mush for her, before he knows what hit him, simply by her sincere innocent unconditional love for him. not to mention he is totally intrigued by her before even realizing who or what she is.

One track mind simple sweet love and romance are centre-points of this, in a weird foolish Warm way. Its just fun, cute and lovable. "Love can conquer all" in a simple, creative, light-hearted way.
Loved It!

Did I say Super Duper Adorable, Cute & Sweet enough?!! Yap!
probably..no, definitely gonna re-watch again when subs for last few episodes come up

(I had to edit this twice, after loosing what I wrote earlier, so, apologies if its repetitive or not to the point appropriately )Also, thanks to MyDramaList Article "Love is the air, Jdrama style" that recommended this, I would probably have missed this if not for that

Literally the police version of Stranger. If Stranger was about prosecutors investigating higher up corruption in the prosecution office, WATCHER is about the Corruption Investigation Team of four people investigating corrupt police officers who not only take bribes but also harm others, which most likely also involve corrupt prosecutors in some cases. They are highly character-centric than being more plot-centric which explains that you may easily get lost if you don't pay careful attention to many people's names and the complex nature/motivations of their greyish character. It can be slightly difficult to follow, but the psychological pay-off is extremely high if you bear with it.

I have to agree that way the story was presented to us was a bit messy. They started off with a murder of a young child's mother to a traffic violation case to a harming of police officer on-duty, to misuse of the firearm by a police officer to organ trafficking to bribery ledger involving higher-ups of public officials and a conglomerate chairman, to an illegal drug distribution network involving corrupt officers and finally the implied future investigation of powerful politicians and business people. However, this drama is in no way procedural, and the sub crime-cases are only introduced to question the true morality of some characters or bring in new characters to add to the bigger investigation trails. In this way, the transition of one case to another is quite smooth, but I see some real problems with the execution, or more precisely the way the dialogues were written to help the viewers connect the threads along their investigation trails. E.g. there are multiple instances in the show where it is not very clear how Do Chi Gwang makes the investigative deduction to implicate the higher-ups in some cases. As I observe this, the problem here does not necessarily lie in the way the whole puzzle is brought together to create a cohesive story, rather the way small details and threads are supposedly connected (or rather, told) to reduce plot holes.

My point here is that a corruption-investigation series is bound to be heavily character-centric which may explain why some people are voicing dissatisfaction over the (unnecessarily) convoluted way of the story being told. Instead, I believe making it confusing and going round in circles is likely the most plausible way to tell a story of this genre in a way that makes it episodically engaging. Thus the path the writers took should not be deemed unnecessary, rather a logical one.

Other than the weakness in the way small threads are being somewhat loosely connected to one another, I do find that the pacing of this drama is A REAL PROBLEM. I watched this drama in parts initially only for Seo Kang Joon, and only managed to finish this in entirety after working out a way to increase the playback speed, LOL. So if you have been looking for that magic tool, install Video Speed Controller on your Google Chrome extension. You're welcome.

Aside from this, I do have to say that I am very invested in all the lead characters in the show. I came here mainly for Seo Kang Joon and Kim Hyun Joo, and must say they totally nailed their characters! Kim Young Goon is a tortured character who's also a bit naive but is plain good-natured. It's amazing to see his portrayal of emotional breakdowns and rage when facing the confusion of not being able to trust anyone around him, most especially his own father. Han Tae Joo's character is a selfish one, who only cares about achieving her goals and is always ready to switch sides as long as the choices she makes brings her closer to goal for revenge. Jo Soo Yeon and Hong Jae Shik are interesting characters to look for as well, and they really do add intricate nuances to an otherwise a very dry, corruption investigation series. Do Chi Gwang is the anti-hero in this drama, which is an interesting deviation from Hwang Shi Mok in Stranger who is a straight arrow and only pursues justice and upholds integrity in his choices. Jang Hae Ryong and Deputy Commissioner Park were also the interesting ones, and I am satisfied with the plot twists they gave us in the final two episodes. In fact, compared to Stranger, I am much more invested in the most recurring characters in this drama because the way all these complex characters are written is just exceptional, and is truly the biggest strength/stand-out of this drama for me.

They also concluded this drama nicely while also hinting away at the possibility of a second season. In fact, I am eagerly waiting for the day it comes, because the upgrade to the investigation trail this time would be to investigate corrupt politicians, business people and high-ranked public officials which would make it even more interesting, like the anticipation that builds for Stranger 2. When that happens, I do hope that the writer/director managed to secure the same lead casts because they have successfully built the momentum and the right anticipation for this first season, and the way the story was written is so expendable that it's only up to the writer's skills to give that to us.

If not for some of the missed executions, MDL rating for this drama should be as high as Stranger. Enjoy your watch!

Bonus: My ranking of corruption-investigation or psychological thriller series:
1. Doctor Prisoner (10)
2. Confession (9.5)
3. WATCHER (9.0)
4. Stranger (8.5)
5. Trap (8.0)

Can't believe I am just now reviewing this! If you want to see a female in a seriously stupendous action role; this is for you! I was simply blown away with Han Groo; especially with the fact that this was her first role and she was so young! The acting; professionally done; the supporting cast; blew me away also. Kim Jung-Tae was tremendous in the role and made me a believer for the second time of his acting capability! If you have not seen this and warning, there is a lot of violence, this is for you!! Han Groo is now on my watch list of up and coming young actors! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

I really, really liked this drama pretty early on. However I dropped it for a reason.

I love the actors., their characters were not incredible original, but well done, the acting was good, and the story wasn't something I'd personally really watched before (I guess the closest would be Shut Up! Flower Boy Band?). I liked all these things and watched this obsessively for a bit this summer. However, I dropped it.

The reason for this was simply that I couldn't stand the villains. Usually the villainous characters are annoying or unpleasant, but I'm fine. These villains were just so endlessly conniving and I got so incredibly angry at the constant obstacles they posed to the main characters that I honestly couldn't stand another second and stopped watching in the middle of an episode.

Don't make this stop you from watching the drama; it's a really pleasant drama overall with a very nice cast and set of characters. Most people could probably deal with this better than I can. I just sympathize way too strongly with fictional characters and their problems make me physically uncomfortable. I'd still like to pick this back up some day, but considering I'm still so fired up such a long while later, I'll probably wait a bit longer.

What would you do to get and stay famous?

Honestly, I think this was the first drama that I was not able to actually guess the twists. It does such a great job of keeping you on your toes and hanging onto every word Ah-Ri says.

This is about the world of celebrities and influencers and the things they do and hide behind what we see through the screen. They do such a great job at really capturing what it's like to use social media and how things come and go quick. I really loved the effects with all the social media and comments. It was really pleasing and not done in a cheesy, just a screenshot way.

The story is amazing and really has you guessing until the very last episode. I wish that we could have gotten a few more details with little things like Ah-Ri's backstory and less of Jun-Kyung and Shi-Hyun's. It honestly didn't really fit into the plot that well, nor did I really care for it. The twists and turns in this are small, but I couldn't guess them at all. I think they did a really good job of having the account owner super secret until the moment it's actually revealed. Even when it was, my jaw dropped because I would've never been able to guess. I was a bit sad with how everything ended so quickly and wish we could've gotten more of the happier resolution after.

The romance in this drama is small, but the few scenes you do get are really good. I was rooting for Ah-Ri and Jun-Kyung so hard. You can never go wrong with enemies (on one side?) to lovers.

I really love the social commentary this drama gave on how everyone views celebrities/influencers and how we are the ones who old them above ourselves. I also loved the commentary on how one person can really bring you to your lowest with just their words. It really gets you thinking about everything you see on social media as well.. is it really all real? Are the people real and genuine? Why do we care and cheer on random people we will never know?

Just a great and easy watch if you're looking for a mystery/thriller to give you some entertainment for a short time. The episodes are only 45 minutes each, so it's a great binge show.

A thought-provoking masterpiece

One of the most enjoyable and engaging shows for me from 2023. This drama evoked so many emotions and carried strong messages that resonated well with most of us. It was realistic, relatable and thought-provoking.

Zhang Ruo Yun and the other actors were excellent and the characters they played were well-written. Great character and plot development, and there was a feeling of gratification as certain “bad” characters were properly punished.

The OST was really fitting and many songs were memorable. Each piece was chosen well and served to heighten the appropriate mood or feeling.

Some viewers were not satisfied with the epilogue but I actually liked it. The ending fit the rest of the story which did not steer away from stark reality. Not everything ends up in a bed of roses and not every love story has a happy ending. It was more important for me to see the kids and teachers of Class 11 thriving in their own ways. The show succeeded in that aspect and left this viewer properly satisfied.

It’s been awhile since I’ve rated a show so highly and this show is a 10 for me.

I absolutely loved seeing this movie, and it was such an experience too. It's always nice to see behind the scenes footage of BTS, as it helps to remind all of us that they're real people who have bad days, get sick, and have silly arguments with each other about nothing. One of the most impactful scenes to me, was when we got to see Jungkook's personal struggle with his foot injury, and how he couldn't properly perform. It broke me seeing him blame himself for something he had no control over. But the best part of that, was seeing how hard the other members tried to cheer him up (it was honestly the most wholesome thing ever!). If you love BTS, and want a peek at a few months of their Love Yourself tour life, you should definitely watch this.

A Series With Purpose

It's not just a series made to show a show, it's a series with purpose. And that purpose is to show the truth of the life of the oppressed during the 1920's. The oppressed mainly women, gays, lesbians, and even the slaves were given the proper spotlight to highlight their lives and their struggles, which I think makes this series standout.

I Feel You Linger In The Air has an intense plot full of mystery and a slow-burn romance. It is fearless on showing everything that is beautiful and even the ugly. It is safe to say that this series revealed the soul of the characters.

Special mention to Bright and Nonkul for their masterclass level performance as Yai and Jom. Truly they study and embody their characters. Their outstanding chemistry transcends the screen which makes the viewers feel their eternal love for each other, truly we feel the love that lingers in the air and it will last for years. Hoping for a second season.

just confusing and terrible

I absolutely adore Becky and her previous works, i have no complaints about her acting as Nanno, but it just didn't hit the same as before. The acting was great from everyone but the story just wasn't it.

Each episode left me confused and bored. Half of the times i couldn't even understand why the characters deserved Nanno's punishment. For example the last episode.. The guy didn't even do anything wrong before Nanno came into the picture.

As for Sky, i really liked his character, but I feel like they could have done so much more with him. Really disappointed that they killed him off.

Overall this drama left me very confused and disappointed. I expected a lot more from it.

Delightfully awkward, refreshingly sexy and suprisingly empowering - the whole romcom package

Listen, this probably is not 9.0 out of 10.0 movie. The plot is thin, the pacing odd; I will gladly admit to all of that. But what can I say- I am not immune to the charm of a romance done right, and that is why Love and Leashes essentially is. But I am getting ahead of myself.
I was thrilled when I read the premise of this. I think the way sexuality has been tackled as a subject matter in K-dramas in the past has been sufficiently awkward and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen when kink got thrown into the mix, expecting to get a genuine gem or something so bad it just had to be good. I am happy to report that this movie definitely belongs to the first category.

Let’s start with the vanilla part of it all, before we dive into the plot. All the actors are pretty solid. Our male protagonist was a bit stilted and awkward at parts, but nothing that bothered me too much. While this movie isn’t overly sexual compared to Western films of the same genre, there are more than enough scenes that must have been pretty uncomfortable to film, but the chemistry between our leading pair stayed strong, so props to the actors. I thought they both brought a lot of charisma to their roles and I really enjoyed watching their dynamic evolve.
The cinematography is also pretty good. I can’t think of a word better than stylish. Sexy but not too much, to the point where it feels like you’re just looking at raw meat. In fact, this contains very little nudity but still managed to be pretty steamy, which I would largely attribute to the lighting. This is just very cool-looking sleek movie. The cinematography might not have been terribly creative overall but it definitely had its moments. I also thought the way this was cut added a lot of charm, the office scene (you will know which one hehe) especially stood out to me, I enjoyed it a lot.

Ok now let’s get to the meat (terrible choice of words, I apologize):

I haven’t read a single chapter of the webtoon, so I had absolutely no clue what the heck I was getting into but I can’t help but acknowledge how healthy this romance was! When it comes to bedroom-activities I want to everyone to do as they please as long as it is consensual. That being said, sexuality does not exist in a vacuum. I don’t want this review to be a deeper discussion of the ethics behind BDSM, as I for sure am not an expert on the subject, but it’s worth noting that, from a storytelling-standpoint alone, it’s difficult to justify why someone would get enjoyment out of beating the shit out of their partner. Dominant and submissive- these ideas are all about power. It is an incredibly delicate and difficult task to tackle that subject without immediately falling into unhealthy tropes. A story about such a relationship gone wrong can still be meaningful and interesting- but you have to be aware of the toxic dynamic as to not accidentally glamorize abuse. Many other stories have tried and failed the exact same thing (looking at you 50 Shades Of Grey) but for the first time ever I feel like I was offered a believable and healthy glimpse into the world of BDSM.

So what has this film done differently compared to other popular kinky franchises? Let’s first talk about the obvious: our dom is a woman. This might sound trivial to some people but for me this played a huge part in the power dynamic of this couple. As mentioned in the paragraph above, our typical relationship-patterns are not something that have appeared out of thin air. The woman taking a passive role and the man taking the dominating one- that is not a phenomenon that just sort of happened but the result of a deeply patriarchal society.
I want to avoid comparing this film to the 50 Shades-franchise too much because it’s simply too good to be branded as its Korean counterpart but since both tell, or at least attempt to tell the stories of women falling into the world of BDSM and finding sexual liberation, I will have to draw a few parallels:
In 50 Shades we have impressionable and painfully naïve Anna who is being coerced into her partner’s lifestyle. Christian is her first ever boyfriend and other than his attractiveness she virtually has zero reasons to be into him, as he tends to be extremely cruel to her, even outside of the bedroom where it’s all supposed to be part of the play. Anna never seems to make peace with her partners fetish, she just learns to love him despite that until he finally overcomes his trauma and gets over it.
Ji-woo on the other hand is confident and outspoken, those being the very reasons Ji-hoo starts to feel attracted to her. He treats her with immense respect, constantly making sure that she is okay with the whole thing, as he is worried about traumatizing her. She gives him the clear okay for a BDSM-relationship, does extensive research on the topic and gets to explore fetish on her own terms. Ji-woo takes an active part instead of just taking it. We actually see her find joy in taking the lead and being playful and kinky in the bedroom.
Our male love interest here, does not have to be taught to be vulnerable, it’s a core element of his part in the relationship. That alone made for a much healthier romance than I have seen in countless vanilla love stories. Neither does he have to overcome his kink, unlike Christian Grey. Instead Ji-hoo, while being aware and open about his his fetish, is still on a quest to find self-acceptance. This means that he, just like the female protagonist, has to grow into his role of the BDSM-partnership. Our pair gets to explore new things together because they are both equally inexperienced. There is balance in the unbalanced. Their power might be unequal in the bedroom but in the real world both characters maintain a healthy relationship as they figure out how to navigate a master/servant-dynamic together.
But the film doesn’t stay uncritical of the dangers that come with a kink built on an offset power-dynamic. Not only is there a scene dedicated to “fake-doms” abusing their power, our female protagonist herself has to learn the boundaries of her role. The film makes it clear that just because Ji-hoo is a submissive, does not mean that he is entirely passive or anything close to pathetic. Clear communication and respect are still what their relationship thrives off.

It makes a huge difference whether you’re watching a female character grow into the role of a submissive partner or a dominating one. I don’t want to give the impression that I think that every woman that enjoys getting spanked is singlehandedly upholding the patriarchy. As I said, everyone should do as they please as long as it’s consensual, but Love And Leashes makes a much better and more convincing case for female sexual liberation. And ultimately makes a more interesting story, especially taking cultural differences into account. While sexism is an issue everywhere, when it comes to emancipation, East Asia still has a very long way to go. Women being submissive isn’t just role-play, it’s the societal norm. So it is not surprising that Ji-woo expects her coworker to be the dominating type after learning of his fetish. That role already reflects what we as a society expect out of a man. But getting to see Ji-woo find genuine joy in fulfilling her role as a dom was strangely empowering to see. This was a genuinely educational, romantic glimpse into the BDSM-world. They treated the subject matter with the respect it deserves while still being lighthearted enough to work as a romcom and I can’t recommend it enough. While this might not strictly deserve the high rating I gave I think this charming film excels exactly at what it is trying to be with all its flaws and awkwardness. Love and Leashes is a must-see this Valentines-day for everyone looking for a refreshing take on a truly unconventional relationship.

Highly recommended drama

This drama is definitely worth watching. If you want to watch a light and calm drama, this is totally for you. It's sweet, funny, and cute, which will make you relax and enjoy watching it.

The story is very common, like a CEO falling in love with an employee. But it is so great that I definitely watch it again if I have a bad day, the comedy is not corny and it is surprisingly good. 

The chemistry is great. I love how their characters grow with every episode. At first, I was a bit annoyed at the FL because she was being judgmental in her perspective about rich people. But I love her character development in the next episodes. I loved the ML, but I also didn't like how selfish he was for making the FL choose him over her dreams. But I'm glad he realized his mistake afterwards. The supporting characters also have a good story, and I'm glad they showed us some scenes of how their relationships develop throughout the episodes. Their acting skills are also undeniably good. 
 
Btw, the OST is also good, especially the intro before the show starts. I'm singing it in my head every time because it's so catchy.

Hero is one of my favorite movies since I was 7. When it first came out my dad was the one who rented it and I saw it with him. The brilliant acting skills of Jet Li were a great advantage to the movie. The awesome fighting scenes were beyond words. They leave you speechless. I love the use of vibrant colors and how the story is given by having Namless be the one to tell the story. I keep rewatching this movie every once in a while since I was 7. When I was young I just liked how it had so much action and the colors since I would not finish reading the subs fast enough. And I would see it more I would love the movie more and understand better. The music as well is so calming and thrilling and adds to the spectacularness of the film. I couldn't have thought of another ending for this movie it suits it.
