Can you find me?
I didn't think I was going to like this, but I actually enjoyed it a lot. I think TeeTee and Por did a really good job, and I would definitely recommend this show. I would give it an 8.75 (8.5) out of 10, and I am going to say what I liked, what I disliked, and then an episode overview (but no matter what, give this show a shot).My likes: North. That was one of my first positive comments about this show. North is genuinely one of the sexiest men this world has ever seen. Everything about him is just so perfect, and he doesn't get enough love, I swear. This show is really fun. It's fun in this weird way I can't really explain, but I lowkey love it. I think Domundi has a track record of terrible romance building (ie, Your Sky and Khemjira). And I love Khemjira, but it's very plot-heavy, and the romance sucks, and your sky is just no plot, and the romance sucks, but this was different. Duang with yous only plot is the romance bit (the same with your sky but they fucked that up), and they did this great. The characters felt real, embracing, and well human which I really enjoyed. They took their relationship slowly, and Duang waited for Qin and Qin made sure his feelings for Duang were actually real. Duang had a cringey but realistic chasing scene. Because all the time in Thai dramas, they fall immediately, and this was not the case. QIN DID NOT LIKE HIM AT ALL. But with time, they started to work through their emotions in this fun and imperfect way. It was lowkey awesome, and that's why I liked this dumb show so much. Something clicked in episode 3, and it might have been Por in that skinnylicious shirt, but suddenly the show got really good lmao. They were cringe, but they were free lmao. This show is so fucking whimsical lmao. I liked the details of their apartments; it made them feel more real. They had so many cute moments I fucking lmao them. Qin is lowkey a young ho and I love him for that. ALL OF THE "NC SCENES," THE EYE CONTACT, THE SHOWERING, THE SHIRTLESSNESS, YES, 100 TIMES YES. I am not gonna sit here and pretend to be a woker, I rewatched those scenes so many fucking times, and I will never stop because I love scenes like that. They took their time with that, and they didnt feel random, BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW TO SET THE FUCKING MOOD HOLY SHIT. Lowkey so well done, I am so proud of them (besides the kissing we can't kiss, but that's fine, I guess). The lore with the parents was nice. I do think that the whole babysitter thing was BS, but like that happens a lot irl, and what Duang's parents did happens a lot too, so that was nice to see. TeeTee and Por's acting and chemistry in this really brought it to life, and I hope they have at least one more show together because they are both really good. The one song I liked was You're My Cup of Tea, they just need to teach him how to pronounce English words. Qin talking to his parents was lowkey good, but Pors acting was lowkey bad, but then I felt myself about to cry, so he ate or whatevera. The full circle moment at the end was nice, a nice way to end the show. And that's all I liked (I will be rewatching again for the 2nd time).
There isn't a lot of stuff I didn't like because I thought this show was good, but there is still some. The first couple of episodes were lowkey hot, confusing ass. It was very choppy, so I think that they could have written that part out better. Also, this show is beyond cringe, and it is mostly in a good way, but at the start, it was a lowkey in a bad way because Duang's crush felt very superficial, and we were just kind of dropped in here without a lot of backing, and then the first 3 episodes didn't help this whatsoever. The weird dancing plot at the start was so fucking bullshit and so random because why is a decorative arts major and a jazz major dancing together in a competition? That makes actually zero sense, and the reason they gave was bullshit. They were running circles around each other a bit because of the slow burn, but they get through it. The novel is so boring lmao, not anything on the show, the show is fucking great, but I couldn't get through the novel. THE DANCE SCENE, Fuck no, I was not messing with that. ("FREEZEEE HELLOOOO??? FREEZE DANCE BREAK. THEY ARE IN THE WALLS, THEY ARE IN THE WALLS. OH I'M NOT HUNGRY, OH I'M NOT HUNGRY. PREESES AT WHAT COST?"). It felt very random and rushed, and just like they were trying to come up with a BS filler plot. Okay, my thoughts on the second couple are lowkey negative, because of the English parts. They weren't cute, they werent fun, it was just so god damn cringe my lord. Also, if you have a second couple, they need more screen time. I am being because I have no reason to care about them. I love North. He did great in this. Otto's eyes are lowkey very far apart, and the makeup they did on him made it worse, but he's cool too, but holy, sexualized. Like it was fine in some moments, and then in others, it just felt like poor character writing. I just wish they paced them out better; that's my main thing. We had a problem with having so much happening at the start of episodes, and then they die down to absolute nothing, and I think they needed to find some kind of middle ground. The whole asking to be his boyfriend episode felt very rushed, and I wish they did that a little better, but the ending was good (I beat my shit or whatevera). RANDOM JAPAN TRIP, we could have alluded to that more, because that felt so random. ALL THAT DAMN SINGING, GIRL BYE. LIKE I KNOW WE ARE JAZZ MAJOR BUT SHUT UP. We wasted the final 20 minutes of the show, and I think that we could have written that out and done that better, because that was just annoying, the dancing to a band I don't know, when we could have like, held hands outside or kissed or something. I just needed more. Okay, that's it for what I didn't like
My episode thoughts, yay! "I want to mother every last one of North's babies, he's so fucking handsome." "This kind of reminds me of secret crush on you in a good way." "We love this but hate secret crush on you, right i see how it is. DUANG CANT HANDLE ALL OF THAT, I CAN BABY I SO CAN, HE LOOK SO SEXY IN THAT SKINNYLICIOUS SHIRT, I CAN HANDLE ALL OF THATTTTTT." "Duang kick this guy's ass. Duang bend it over and make it clap." "HE LOOKS LIKE 3 PPL STACK ON EACH OTHER IN LIKE A TRENCH COAT LMAOO." "I dont know if teetee stopped taking thirst trap photos and locked in, but we have carried por twice in 5 minutes lmao." " TeeTee's hair pushed back got me acting and feeling brand new. POR HAS A LADY KILLER SMILE BC I HAVE BEEN KILLED OH MY GOD. QIN HOLDING HIS ARM AS THEY WALK IN THE RAIN, I WILL NEVER BE OKAYYY. DUANG QIN SO CUTE WITH THEIR COLLEGE ROMANCE, I'M PRAYING ON THEIR DOWNFALL. I am no better than a man bc aint nobody looking at that dog, i was looking at pors legs. like a dirty perv. QIN STAND UP. STOP TRYING TO SEDUCE HIM TO LET THE DOG SLEEP WITH YALL. 4th wall break from thee. DONT MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH US. I am a slut for a good full circle moment. NIGGGGAAAAAA I WILL NEVER BE OKAY OH MY GOD. HELP NIGGA, WHAT? QINNNN A P I M PPPPP BUT DID 50 FUCKING SAYYYY? IM GONNA MISS THEM SO MUCH."
This show was good, I am just a nitpicky hater. I would recommend this 100 percent, and dont let anyone tell you this show is bad. It is so much fucking fun. Okay bye!

This is as honest as possible
Honestly if I rewatch the previous episodes there are some parts I would have changed but I only can say good things about it let's start with the story: the story is definitely not for everybody there's a lot of drama between the couples but also a lot of tension. Especially when there is the more than two people Dynamics like if they are unsure about feelings and end up in situationships. There are also serious aspects talked about in this series and this might be not for everyone. There are also things that someone takes advantage of another person's feelings like especially Raffy and Tua. I think the story is really good but some things don't really fit into the style of the whole Concepts but most of the time it just makes me really happy to watch it.Let's continue with the acting and cast: i need to say they are on the same level as the hearts killer when not even better you can clearly see how much the company put the effort in the series and also how well the actors present their role and also Express the emotions especially when dean cried after jack it was such a beautiful Moment. Also there is a lot of time where you just see the couples so you feel more connected with them or connected with their story and I think this is really helpful to feel into the story and know what you're thinking and there is a clearly difference between each couple with their problems so you really can't choose a favorite it depends a little on the episode.
Let's talk a little about the music in the series: maybe I'm a little biased but Gawin's intro is so good even if I can speak Thai i still sing with him and also the music video to it is so good. The music in the play itself are also mostly handmade by the actors or the staff so you really see how much that series means to them and mostly the music is perfectly placed and is making everything more emotional.
Overall I would say the rewatch value is really high but I have to feeling after a few times you can know what will happen so you would need to wait a few years to find the same Amusement on it again but it's really really great bL drama.

or more like "if friendship could kill"
Human beings are the only creatures that have the ability to speak, but they can't communicate. As long as human beings' selfish desires exist, no one can break the curse.I am not into these horror , mystery thriller, and gruesome shows, but people on Reddit said it's kinda similar to "Night Has Come", so I picked it up. I went with fewer expectations, but the acting amazed me.
Honestly, there are a lot of loopholes in the plot; I can't even fathom whether it is an open ending or a season 2 teaser .
The cast gave their everything , it felt realistic with their acting. *clap clap*
Maybe it could be better if we could get 12 episodes to show some character story and about their friendship; it passed too fast, even though I was rooting for the second main lead and the female lead, but we needed more of their parts.
The story was jumping back and forth with the storyline, so it was kinda confusing
If season 2 gets announced, then of course I will watch it because I watched season 1 and want answers to my questions, but I do think the plot could be better.
Avoid if you can't watch blood and gore, and please check trigger warnings.

Well written story
Complex, quirky, enchanting and easy to watch. I liked the character development and the c ast. The story was well developed with no loose ends. I especially liked the character interviews. As with most of these K drama s,the period costume s are amazing,the set designs (I want to live there) and the scenery,gardens, mountain s,paths,streams... Beautiful.Was this review helpful to you?
The acting was good, but we can see the difference between the actings when the drama starts to tell the first 2 girls history, the diference in acting was massive, they nailed it. The best part of the drama for me.
I don't think i'm up for a S2 of this drama, because the ending teases, maybe, a loop of the original history... So probably people will get tired of it, but let's hope for the best.
7/10 ⭐

An upbeat drama to watch when need laughter in your day
I just finished watching this drama and wanted to share my thoughts.At first, I had to check MDL to confirm the genre because I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a comedy or if it just had a bad script. Thankfully, it is a comedy!
The series is incredibly over-the-top with everything. For instance, I couldn't stop laughing at the bathtub placed in a shallow wading pool in the first episode. The dynamic between the characters is also entertaining; Peach acts as the voice of common sense, while Thee is an unoriginal "drama king."
Overall, it’s a great show if you need a happy pick-me-up, though I likely wouldn't add it to my re-watch list.
I’d give it a personal rating of 7/10.
While the pairing was good, I felt the intimate connection fell a bit short as they got closer, perhaps due to the rom-com format.
My favorite part was the final episode where Pond sings; his vocals are beautiful. I’ve actually been looking up his and Phuwin’s music on YouTube to add to my playlist.

it's a hidden gem, beautiful & healing
not many people talk about this drama, but this drama I feel haven't received it's due yet, maybe coz it released somewhere near covod, so maybe there was no promotions and all. however it's such a beautiful drama, like it's a warm blanket on a chilly winter night, it heals you,makes you happy,not just leads all the characters are in a way healing from their sufferings, traumas, adjusting to the ever changing life.seo kang joon is such an underrated actor, he literally is the life of the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Chen Hui Broke Me: Xu Kai Delivers a Career-Defining Performance in Eight Hundred
I don’t think I’ll ever move on from Chen Hui in Eight Hundred… and honestly, I don’t want to.Xu Kai felt completely different here—raw, restrained, and painfully real. Yes, he had powerful lines and intense scenes, and he delivered them—but what stayed with me even more were the quiet moments. The silence, the hesitation, the way you could feel everything he was holding in.
That’s what made it hurt. Watching Chen Hui slowly break while trying to hold himself together… I cried, the kind that lingers long after it ends.
His story left a scar in me, and I’ll forever cherish him.
At the same time, the other actors also did an amazing job and really contributed to the weight of the story—it felt like a true ensemble effort.
I really hope this drama gets the recognition it deserves—and that Xu Kai earns a Best Actor award for this performance.
I guess I have to watch some Kaikai’s happy dramas to move on from Chen Hui.

Too Slow, Even for Slice of Life
This film has:- a strong cast
- an overly dragged-out plot (even for a slice-of-life story)
- an okay conclusion (kind of predictable), wished to see more after story climax
- nice cinematography
- interesting soundtrack (shout out to song that was playing turning shopliftings)
However, I can't see myself re-watching it.

Minor Flaws, Strong Overall
I went into this series with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the pacing solid, but the overall cast delivered strong performances. Special kudos to all the leading actors. Elvira Cai is slowly becoming one of my favorite “underground” Chinese actresses. There’s something special about her performances and script choices. Also, I didn't think Jing Bo Ran had it in him to play such a complicated character. Another highlight was the strong on-screen chemistry between all three leads. The writing had a few minor plot holes, which I can overlook. What I can’t overlook, however, is the way the lead couple was written. Their relationship needed better development.Overall, it’s a good crime drama by Chinese drama standards

dud
it started off with a good shock factor then went downhill. the main fl was consistently irritating from start to finish. i was naturally pessimistic they weren't going to accomplish a lot before the end, and as soon as main fl started doing everything her guide said not to, i completely lost faith in her. plus the 'my friend's still in there' vibes and calling friend's name when she clearly checked out got on my nerves. writing didn't do a lot to help you get attached to the rest of the main group on top of that, but i did appreciate geon woo not being dumb when it counted. it took everyone else way too long to shift gears for me.... entire drama gave me anxiety just from wanting it to be over sooner. only people ready to do their job was the big sister and her right hand man. 2/10 if i'm being honest. for an occult type drama, it didn't really do anything refreshing or new. you won't miss out if you skip it.Was this review helpful to you?
Saddest One
I have seen just 4 eps and I’m already sad like each eps shows each pain and suffer of each individual through two great actors. when Dong-Man said that he wanna be in the other side of the world, I was in tears. And when Dong-Man and Eun-a both fought up there places it was masterpiece, like showing that quiet people can sparkle very thoughtfully. it a best one to watchWas this review helpful to you?

show so good it pulled me out of viewer fatigue ?
Loved the actors in this absolutely perfect chemistry (how do i petition to see more of these two together?) and the fact they both are amazing at acting with their eyes!!the plot and pacing was really good throughout, although the ending did feel rushed (a couple more episodes would’ve definitely fixed this 😔)
The cinematography was phenomenal and genuinely attention grabbing in the best way, finding out after finishing the show it’s director by the same person who produced blossom made so much sense!
Immediately need more of this!!

BYEON WOO SEOK AND IU
Yes that's the title.......Chemistry is on point. Plot may be predictable (at the moment), but after watching kdramas for yearsss, i think everything is predictable for me already. It all comes down to execution...I think both IU and BWS is doing well...this is the kind of drama that you just have to sit and enjoy it without being too technical. Though, if IU chose this drama, storyline is probably going to be deeper later on.Was this review helpful to you?
1A Wish For A Life : Would You Still Press The Button?
I honestly didn’t expect to finish this in one sitting, but I got so sucked into the mystery that I ended up binge watching it. "If Wishes Could Kill (Girigo)" is one of the best supernatural thrillers I’ve seen in a long time. If you’re looking for a drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you question human nature, this is the one.The plot is so unique and creepy. It’s about a group of high schoolers who find an app called "Girigo" that grants any wish you want. The catch? Once your wish comes true, you only have 24 hours left to live. It sounds simple, but the way the story unfolds is so intense. It’s not just about the horror; it’s about the secrets between friends, the desperation, and how far people will go when they’re pushed to a corner. The mystery behind who created the app and why it exists kept me guessing until the very last second.
The cast did an incredible job! Jeon So-young as Se-ah was so powerful, you can really feel her determination to save her friends. Kang Mi-na was also a standout; she played the popular girl Na-ri with so much depth, making her more than just a "pretty face." Even the guys, Baek Sun-ho and Hyun Woo-seok, were amazing. Their chemistry felt so real, which made it even more heartbreaking to watch them struggle against the clock. You can really feel their fear through the screen.
I planned to watch just one episode before bed, but the cliffhangers didn't let me! I ended up binging all 8 episodes in one go because I literally could not stop. The pacing is perfect, it doesn't drag at all and every episode adds something new to the mystery.
If you like dramas like All of Us Are Dead, Night Has Come, or Death's Game, you need to watch this immediately. It has that same high-stakes energy where you never know who is going to make it out alive It’s dark, emotional, and very psychological. It makes you think: Is your greatest desire worth your life? Do yourself a favor and go watch it right now. Just don’t blame me if you stay up all night like I did!
Overall if you are a fan of supernatural, horror genre with thrill, this one is a must watch!!!
[Note : This is just my personal opinion and rating. Everyone has different tastes, so if this isn't your type of drama, that's totally fine we don't all have to agree!]
