A Royally Captivating Tale

When I started watching this drama, I immediately realized how right I was to stick to my rule of waiting until a show is fully completed before binge-watching it. Otherwise, waiting week to week between episodes would have been absolute torture.

Despite sparking some debate over historical accuracy, "The Perfect Crown" shines as an utterly charming and visually stunning drama. The casting could not have been more spot-on. From the main lead couple to the secretaries and villains, every single actor was a complete hit. And what can I say about the young king? He completely stole my heart. So young yet such an incredible actor, I felt every single one of his tears.

The heart of the series lies in the extraordinary chemistry between its lead actors. Byeon Woo-seok delivers a genuinely sublime performance. His character is remarkably intelligent, brave, and talented; yet his strong will and desires are always shaped by his devotion to the king, whom he adores and fiercely protects. Despite the interference of royal relatives, traumatic events from his past, and his noble tendency to put others' happiness and well-being before his own, he is truly admirable.

Meanwhile, IU brings her signature grace and irresistible charm to the screen. I absolutely loved seeing a strong, intelligent, and fearless female lead who refuses to be intimidated by anyone or anything. Although she constantly puts on a strong, invincible front, it is merely armor. Beneath it lies a woman fighting against injustice, prejudice, and overwhelming social and family pressure, all while deeply longing for love and the approval of her father. Together, they create an effortlessly compelling on-screen couple that keeps you completely hooked on their story.

Beyond the romance, the production quality is a spectacular visual feast. The traditional Korean outfits (hanbok) are crafted with breathtaking detail and elegance, beautifully complementing the picturesque, atmospheric palace landscapes that frame every scene. Visually, the show serves as a loving homage to Korea's rich cultural aesthetic.

Supported by a solid ensemble cast, from the royal family, the secretaries and the Prime Minister to the devoted servants, that elevates the narrative at every turn, "The Perfect Crown" manages to rise above minor criticisms to deliver a memorable, deeply moving experience for lovers of historical dramas.

O what a show!

I just finished Lost Romance (LR) and I am so glad I decided to watch it after dropping it once last year after ep 1 and putting it on hold this year after ep3.
Contrary to many of the comments I saw before me, I find the real world romance very grounded and fairly believeable and constantly it makes me look back on the fictional world romance. and the sweet irony is that even when I am comparing at the back of my mind the real world and fictional world MLs (Tianxing and Aoran respectively) and the romance as it pans in each, I am also fairly aware that I am watching a work of fiction. As a student of literature, at so many places, esp after we come back to Tianxing and Xiaoen's romance, I took a pause to just think of the narrative--the frame narrative, the diegesis, the analepsis and I was so impressed.
As a show it doesn't take it self very seriously and that is where its beauty lies because the show has a deep emotional core.
The ML Marcus Chang, I am so so impressed with him. He portrays both his versions with equal elan and when we come back to Tianxing, we can see how Tianxing seems so very real compared to Aoran but when i was acutely aware of watching a fictional character Aoran despite knowing its a fictional world (inside the show). He was exceptional, also helped by the fact that he is handsome.
The FL Vivian Sung was equally phenomenal. The risque scenes were well shot and did not look cheap for a moment.
The SML Simon Lian was effervescent too--he has great screen presence and i liked his character.
I like the supporting cast, fairly well acted. The villain Hu uncle seems a 1D stereotype but the swindling was ingenuous.
I also feel Situ Moran/HeTianjing is a good looking actor as is his sister He Mingli. They play their parts well.
I also like that in the real world (in the show) characters are matured enough to give up on pursuing the ML(Shanna as well as Chuchu) once they realise Tianxing's heart is set for Xiaoen. That is realistic. In the novel's world, only Qing Feng has that maturity--but he is anyway a matured character with really high EQ, and would be as good in any other context something LR effectively shows the audience).

As a literature student, for me, characters of novels I have loved have always felt real as if they have their existence and we as lovers and readers have always sought to speak of them as real world beings. And so, for me, it is believeable when Xiaoen wants Qing Feng to have his own sweet ending.

These are my immediate reactions after completing ep 20 and who knows I might want to come back and add another detailed review some other time. But it is for sure, I would like to watch the show again in the future.

Me encariñé mucho con yumi, me vi reflejada en sus emociones y con su relación con woong, realmente esperaba que terminaran juntos, pero aunque era bueno, no era la persona para ella. Me gustó el desarrollo de su relación y como todo se sentía tan natural, pero puedo entender porque las cosas se dieron así, ambos tenían prioridades distintas, woong era una persona muy orgullosa, nunca pudo sincerarse y apoyarse en ella cuando tuvo problemas en el trabajo y con el dinero, pero para yumi esa distancia se traducía en desamor y comenzaron alejarse cada vez más.

Realmente esperaba que pudieran arreglar las cosas y terminar juntos, pero talvez era lo mejor, eran incompatibles y estaban en momentos distintos buscando cosas distintas, para woong él siempre iba a ser su prioridad y yumi siempre lo puso a él primero, eso solo iba a seguir lastimándolos, y yumi todavía tenía heridas que sanar, estuvo mucho tiempo en una relación donde no era completamente feliz pero tampoco quería dejarlo, por eso cuando se preguntó si realmente le daba miedo terminar con woong o le daba miedo estar sola, sentí que fue uno de los primeros momentos donde se puso como prioridad y pensó en lo que realmente quería para ella, porque hasta ahora había definido su valor por sus relaciones y se perdía cuando no estaba en una, y al final de la temporada se da cuenta de eso, así que espero que en las otras temporadas se de el espacio para descubrir quién es más allá de una relación, que amé desde el deseo y no la necesidad y persiga su sueño de ser escritora. y para el tibio de woong siempre me dolerás 😭 será en otra vida.

Recomiendo mucho este drama, es una historia cercana con personajes muy entrañables, terminas encariñándote con todos sobretodo con las células jj

Completely Caught Me by Surprise

I went into Road to Success (2026) expecting a decent watch... but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

What really won me over wasn't the romance—it was the journey of the team. Watching each member grow, overcome setbacks, and slowly become stronger together was incredibly satisfying. The character development was easily the highlight of the drama, and by the end, I found myself genuinely attached to everyone.

The male and female leads also did a great job with their roles. They were both convincing and carried the emotional weight of the story well. That said, if I'm being honest, their chemistry wasn't the strongest I've seen in a C-drama. It wasn't bad by any means, but compared to other dramas, I never really got those heart-fluttering moments between them.

Thankfully, the story didn't rely solely on romance to keep me invested. The friendships, teamwork, personal growth, and the characters' determination were more than enough to make me keep hitting "Next Episode."

If you enjoy dramas where the real payoff comes from watching people grow together rather than just watching a love story unfold, Road to Success (2026) is definitely worth checking out. It turned out to be one of those unexpected gems that I ended up enjoying far more than I ever thought I would.

an actual good drama!

i thought this would be a crime/comedy/romance genre and instantly thought geumbo and albert needed to be endgame. i had butterflies thinking about the age gap or how cute albert was to geumbo so it made me sad it didnt actually have romance 💔

(im not sure if the trailer was misleading tho and while i get they were important to remove pilbeom from hanmin it looked that there would be a little bit of romance but wasnt)

i read someone they couldve presented jungwoo and geumbo as colleagues because it didnt look like they were passionate during their relationship so i couldnt help but to think about it while watching it. i got to the conclusion that, even though they couldve shown more about their rs, it wouldnt be the same if they were simply colleagues because they knew each other favorite food, places, etc and even were kinda sus when both of them mentioned about it with the other mc while still thinking geumbo was jangmi

i actually enjoyed the drama, even tho it was weird for it to be 16 chapter but i liked it. i cried and hated the villains a lot. i think not a lot of people talked about this drama and its such a good one 💗

La soif de l'or, encore et encore

C'est avec une légère goutte de sueur sur le front que je lance ce nouvel opus d'une série que j'ai découverte en manga, adorée en animé (pour The Sixth Lie, en vrai) et à laquelle j'ai surtout voué un véritable culte en live action. Et cela, tout en connaissant déjà l'histoire des premiers épisodes, puis des films dont je n'ai toujours pas encore lu la suite du récit en manga. Mais, douze ans après la sortie du premier chapitre, est-ce que j'arrive encore à me passionner pour ce One Piece plus seinen que shonen et encore sous estimé aujourd'hui face à son grand frère.

Le pré-générique me rassure immédiatement avec une scène d'anthologie qui, à elle seule, m'a rappelé pourquoi j'aimais tant cette série. C'est évidemment son humour si typiquement japonais, une nouvelle fois centré sur la nourriture. Retrouvant toute la troupe formée au fil des premiers épisodes, on entre immédiatement dans un film qui sonne rapidement comme le point final de l'aventure. Voir toute la bande réunie à la veille de ce qui devrait être la bataille finale fait chaud au cœur, et chacun a droit à son petit clin d'œil, tendre ou humoristique. Une véritable prouesse vu le nombre de protagonistes.

Réunis autour de la bouffe, le fil rouge de toute la série depuis le début, on ne voit pas passer la première moitié du film, alors qu'elle se résume pourtant à une simple veillée. La qualité d'écriture de l'œuvre originale comme celle des scénaristes reste intacte malgré les années. Les amourettes gagnent en intensité, alors que le rapport à la famille devient central dans cet opus.

Mais le film n'est pas avare en action non plus, avec des dernières minutes épiques, marquées avant tout par leur lot de trahisons. Impossible, évidemment, sans avoir lu l'œuvre originale, de faire le bon pronostic. Les protagonistes sont nombreux et, plus encore que la soif de l'or, chacun a ses propres raisons d'en vouloir aux autres. Cette profusion de personnages est peut-être la seule faiblesse d'un format qui ne permet plus de développer l'histoire de chacun comme à l'époque de la série télévisée. Ashirpa et Sugimoto n'avancent guère dans leur relation. Surtout lui, d'ailleurs, qui voit son temps d'écran toujours plus réduit, à devoir le partager avec une multitude d'autres personnages. D'autres liens entre protagonistes semblent également se nouer ou se renforcer , mais je vous laisse le plaisir de les découvrir.

Avec cet opus, qui n'est évidement pas le dernier, le retour des grands mangas est célébré de la plus belle des manières, en parallèle d'une autre sortie, celle de GTO, vingt-huit ans après le premier live action. On imagine alors un opus de Golden Kamuy dans 28 ans avec nos deux héros entourés d'enfants. Les grands mangas sont éternels, mais ces mises à jour amènent aussi à se demander si l'âge d'or du seinen potache mais profond n'est finalement pas derrière nous.

Best Friendship relationship

Not so great series

I fail to see how this series garnered so much support, other than the pre-launch marketing hype that comes with these dramas. For this particular series, while some of the acting was good it wasn't exceptional as I have seen in some of the cdrama - genre of wuxia, xanxia and palatial series types. Thje story of the fl/ml is convoluted and doesnt establish a solid rapport to carry the other plots past and present that arise in the drama. There are too many subplots that detract from the former comment AND, while it had great potential to be a great drama it let itself down in too many plots. subplots dictating and overtaking the mainthrust for the FL/ML in addition to both of them taking too long to see each others true identities especially for ML to fl. I have seen better than this to be honest its marketing hype is doing a great job of promoting it but there's disappointment at the watching side of all that marketing

A surprising enjoyable find in 2026

Obviously this is an older drama so there wasn’t a ton of expectation. However, I truly enjoyed it.

First thing, lots to adjust to in the production, the acting of actors, and overdramatizing. However as i progressed, it grew on me.

What I liked the most was the value of learning points from the lives of the people in the story. Therefore, I feel that writing was strong, making valid points and connections that applies to everyday life. Those kind of things appeals to me a lot so I highly value that in this. Female lead and her characterization of someone who is extremely kind, humble, and thoughtful is ideally a great person in these troubling times. I just really enjoyed her and her relationships with everyone in her life. Her budding bonding with male lead was cute. He, male lead on the other hand was a character to adjust to. Saw another review who felt lead was a dud. I on the other hand related to him, and found him adorable. Yes, everything about him was slow moving mannerisms so he can feel like a boring character. I though felt his opposite mannerisms from female lead made them a formidable pair, who is one of my favorite pairings and by now I’ve watched a LOT of kdramas.

It’s a story of families and their life happenings. Familiar in many of these family dramas, there’s hits and misses in portrayal. Lots of hits, and frustrations with repeated misunderstandings. Otherwise, it’s a meaningful story that by end tied well with a happy ending. I definitely enjoyed it and felt it was a great find.

A wholesome, uplifting story with just enough bite

Edit: Mea culpa. I had a brain fade while writing review 1.0 and posted it. It was not good. No excuses. This is version 2.0. 🙏

On the surface, this is a sports centric youth drama. We are talking about junior soccer packed with senior high school boys. So much testosterone! ;)

I'm thankful they are a bunch of good kids. I mean that literally. Sure, there are friendship issues and bullying, but they are minor compared to the usual idol dramas. When you have a band of soccer bros, you know who have your back.

I have my doubts about the FL's role in this setting. She is a square block in a round hole. She has no teaching qualifications nor sporting prowess. She went back to her grandparents’ hometown after a nasty experience at university where she is doing her doctoral thesis. Ditto, our ML who was a star junior soccer coach came back from the UK as a dejected man. Both are ready to execute their version of lie flat.

This drama basically has 3 themes, soccer, soccer and soccer. Oops! I mean our OTP's romance, multiple healing journeys and the beautiful game. ;)

The pairing of our leads is nicely done. Their meet-cute is tropey but very effective. Thankfully, there are no second leads to muddy the water. Even then, it wasn't all smooth sailing as the ML has an ulterior motive to get close to the FL. Once they sort out their misunderstanding, we are rewarded with some nice skinship.

On the other hand, there are enough angsts in our OTP's backstory to allow the writer to inject some real-world issues like cyber bullying, mental illness, identity thief into the plot. Some might find the resolution superficial. I won't judge.

Let's be honest, this is a feel-good drama at its core, good will triumph over evil, eventually. Communication will resolve any misunderstandings, eventually. Our soccer bros will bring their A-game . . eventually. Hwaiting!

With the excitement of the recent FIFA World Cup, the timing of its release is perfect. The show doesn't try to be too technical. There is just enough talk about tactics and game play to give it some credibility. Everything is grounded. Not a hint of Shaolin Soccer anywhere. ;)

The young actors played their roles well. Their interactions give us real Band of Brothers vibe. It is uplifting and heartwarming. They made the soccer segments fun to watch.

You will cheer on the underdogs. You will appreciate the long game played by the elders. It touches on some societal issues, but only lightly. It is a relatively small world they live in. For this type of drama, that is enough.

Is it any good? It is good. Solid rather than inspired. Entertaining and brimming with empowering, feel-good messages. This series has hearts and an easy watch. There are evil in the world, but in this little corner, there is only soccer and romance. That will do.

Ultimately, this is not a big budget production. It is not perfect. We could nitpick until the referees come home, but what’s the point? We should be thankful for a few hours of uncomplicated entertainment in these times. Peace.

P.S. I noticed Ms. Yu toned down her acting and even modulated her voice in this drama. Is this part of her long term plan to transform her image? Intriguing.

A great romcom

I watched this sometime after Full House, which was also a romcom. I must say this is both acted and written better than Full House. Entire cast is likable with likable characters.

This show is mainly about a female protagonist who is a tomboy who has never worn high heels. Gender bender confusion is done very well in this show. The other, a favorite, gender bender show, where true gender is hidden, I had seen was You Are Beautiful. Here the deception goes on much longer than that show.

The romance in this show is more mature than either Full House or You Are Beautiful.

I didn't know what a Barista was before this show. I had seen coffee restaurants use that name but didn't know the meaning. I also dint know it takes real skill to make good coffee , to be a good barista. Here characters get trained years to become a barista. I was surprised. I mean how hard can coffee making be?

My minor negative comment on the show is I felt early on it was drawn out and slow at times.

Finally I think the ending was good.

"Inseparable in heaven, and intertwined on earth. My heart is yours, for all eternity."

I genuinely cannot believe it took me this long to watch this drama. It was a complete masterpiece from start to finish. I have honestly never watched a 40 episode drama this quickly! This drama made me laugh and cry and feel all the emotions, and I honestly wish I could wipe my memory of this and watch it all over again <3

This drama was one that was on my watchlist for a while, and I have honestly heard nothing but good things about it. (I can confirm that no one was in fact lying when they said this was absolutely amazing!) I honestly have so much to say, but I will try to not ramble too much. (No promises, though). Ao Ruipeng and Bai Lu were phenomenal in this drama, and I absolutely adored their chemistry! Their characters, Fan Yue and Bai Shuo, went from being two people who were just using each other to being completely devoted to one another.

The romance was definitely more of a slow burn, but I honestly loved that! I think that it made sense for their characters, and also I do love when the romance between the male and female leads of a drama is a bit more drawn out and slow to start. That just makes the moment when they get together all the more satisfying! I hope that Ao Ruipeng and Bai Lu have more projects together in the future, and I would absolutely love to see them in another historical drama together, or even a modern one! This drama honestly made me fall in love with Ao Ruipeng. His acting was honestly fantastic, and I definitely need to watch more of his other dramas.

Bai Lu is an actress that never fails to disappoint me when it comes to her roles, and Bai Shuo was no exception! I absolutely loved her character growth throughout the drama, and how she goes from being a slightly naive girl to one who is courageous and doesn't give up, even when things seems utterly hopeless.

Fan Yue has easily become one of my favorite historical/wuxia drama male leads. At first, he seems like a typical "cold" ruler of the Bright Moon Palace, ruthless and cruel. He is also seen by the other sects as arrogant and selfish. However, as the show progresses, those labels and assumptions aren't necessarily true.

While he can be ruthless and cruel when he needs to be, Fan Yue secretly is harboring a lot of pain, especially after being the sole survivor of the Baize clan, in which everyone was slaughtered and his brother was kidnapped. He also shoulders a lot of burdens for his people and for other demons. He does everything in his power to ensure their safety and peace. His trusted confidants, Tian Huo and Cang Shan, have been beside him for years, and they also devote and dedicate their lives to him. Fan Yue is not the cruel demon king that everyone thinks he is. He is utterly selfless and protects those he cares about with unrelenting determination.

When he first meets Bai Shuo, he at first is just using her to absorb all the Five Contemplations so that he can use the Contemplation Stone to remove the Seven Star Soul Burning Seals on him. He is at first distrustful and suspicious of Bai Shuo, as he isn't entirely sure why she, a normal human being, is able to activate the Contemplation Stone.

Eventually, though, Fan Yue does eventually come to care for Bai Shuo, although he doesn't realize it at first. I honestly love that they fall for each other gradually. Slow burn can be excruciating, but I think that it's even more rewarding once the couple actually get together. Fan Yue's eventual devotion to Bai Shuo is so swoonworthy, and I also love that he's willing to risk his life for her. He will do anything and everything to protect her.

He is also definitely the "touch her and you die" type of male lead. If anyone (or anything, because this man literally went to go and destroy some carnivorous flowers after they attempted to hurt Bai Shuo when she was gathering herbs in the mountain) harms Bai Shuo, this man will exact revenge pretty much immediately. He also becomes utterly soft with Bai Shuo, and I honestly think that they have one of the healthiest relationships in a wuxia drama that I have ever seen.

I mean, yes, their relationship didn't exactly start out great, considering the fact that they were both using each other for their own personal gain, but eventually, it blossoms into something that is genuine and steadfast. Even when Lan Zhu tried to take over Bai Shuo's body and take Fan Yue away from her, their love for one another never faltered.

Fan Yue saw right through Lan Zhu, and took action, along with Chong Zhao, and they were able to help free Bai Shuo from the sea of consciousness that she was trapped in. He also continued to reaffirm that the only person that he would ever love and the only person in his heart was Bai Shuo.

Fan Yue cares deeply not just for Bai Shuo, but for his kingdom and its inhabitants. He will do anything to protect the Bright Moon Palace and everyone he cares about, including Tian Huo and Cang Shan. Can I also just say that I absolutely adored these two?

Tian Huo is honestly such a badass and I love how fierce she is, but we also eventually get to see the softer side of her, the side that will do anything for people that she cares about, even if she doesn't outwardly express it. Her story was incredibly sad, and I had hated her father at first, for supposedly sending her mother to her deathbed, but in reality, he was just trying to protect her by sending her away. Her younger brother is also so sweet:(( Even when he was turned into a monster, he still continued to protect her:((

I'm really glad he ended up surviving in the end! I absolutely bawled my eyes out when Tian Huo used all her spirit power to repair the broken Outlander's sword. That scene where she's dying in Fang Yue's arms is genuinely so heartbreaking. Fang Yue lost one of his closest friends:((

And also, Cang Shan's death was also super heartbreaking to me as well:(( I hated how he and his father never got a chance to repair their relationship after Cang Shan left the Stone Clan. His sacrifice was devastating, but I of course understand why he did so. I honestly felt so bad for him that Tian Huo never reciprocated his feelings for her:(( I honestly had a feeling that he liked Tian Huo, but I wasn't too sure until he got jealous and annoyed how relentlessly Ming Jiu was pursuing Tian Huo.

I hate that Fang Yue lost his closest friends and confidants:(( (also a small side note for Chong Zhao and Fu Ling: I honestly really loved them together! I remember I didn't like Fu Ling at first, but she slowly grew on me! And for Chong Zhao, I am glad that he didn't end up becoming evil or continue to chase after Bai Shuo. It seemed like that at first, but eventually, he was able to move on with someone else. I truly felt for him, and I was so incredibly sad when he died. I also HATED that Fu Ling died, especially when Bai Shuo realized that she was her sister, Bai Xi. THAT SCENE WHERE SHE DIES ABSOLUTELY BROKE ME)

Bai Shuo's character really grew on me. It wasn't that I necessarily disliked her at first, "i guess it was just that I was confused of her origins, considering the fact that she could absorb the Contemplation Stone and also activate. She at first seems quite naive, but she slowly becomes more mature.

Bai Shuo has been seeking immortality all her life in order to repay the person who saved her and her older sister's life when they were little. At first, this is her goal, but as she continues to experience more tragedies and hardships, it shifts. I loved seeing her maturity and growth develop throughout the drama, and I also loved how incredibly brave she became, even when things seemed so incredibly desperate. She also showed that she truly cared and loved Fan Yue, even when there was some doubt from others.

Ultimately, their love defied fate time and time again, and I absolutely sobbed during episode 34 when Bai Shuo proposes to Fan Yue and then later on, he dies in her arms. This episode was so incredibly heartbreaking and devastating, but it also proved that Bai Shuo and Fan Yue loved each other so deeply. I adore these two, and I do wish we got to see the wedding in the actual drama, but I am glad we got a bonus episode! It was a little bittersweet, though, as there was no one around to witness it:((((

There is honestly so much more that I could say, but this review is already WAY too long. If you haven't started this drama, I highly recommend! It's a must watch and one of my absolute favorite dramas that I have watched this year!

This was very whimsical

I know this was 15 minutes long, but it will still get a review from me because I love writing lmao. I will give it a 9 (8.9) out of 10, and truthfully, there is no plan for this review; I am just going to rant.

For starters, this was really cute, and Dee Hup needs to lock in and make this a full series; I will help fund it, I swear to god. I have grown to love Tee and Heng so much, so I actually don't play about them.

If you are looking for a well-thought-out show, this is not for you, like at all. But if you want whimsicalness and joy because you are currently watching don't be too emotional and getting your heart dragged through the mud, ESPECIALLY with the most recent episode; this is so for you. I loved this so much, and it would have been perfect if we got a kiss, but you know what a girl can dream.

I loved how cute they looked in this, especially with Heng in the glasses; I love him with glasses, my lord. Also, Tee with his hair down and actually not evil I love to fucking see it; so cute. I would give my life for these fools.

Regarding the plot, they also had a love-at-first-sight kind of vibe, which was really cute. And then that kind of gave way to this repetition that also felt really cute, so good for y'all, because we actually did our big one with this shit. The whole thing where he falls onto his lap was adorable; I am a fool for that shit, I can't lie. And yeah.

Here is my final quote from the final episode: "Maybe get off the Gemini dupe and go talk to him bruh. They are adorable lmao. AWEEEEE THEY ARE SO CUTE. DUMB ASS SHOW. THIS WAS VERY CUTE."

Loved this; it was cute, so just go check it out because it is 15 minutes in total, bruh. Okay bye!

A Surprising Gem That Completely Won Me Over

I went into this with absolutely no idea what to expect, and somehow it ended up giving me way more than I ever bargained for.

At its heart, it's a sweet, simple story about a genuinely relatable lead finding his place in life, growing one meal, and one challenge, at a time in the kitchen. Set against the backdrop of a military outpost, it blends heartfelt moments, lovable supporting characters, and nonstop comedy into something that just works. Seriously, it works so well.

And can we talk about how funny this show is? I laughed in every single episode. The cast absolutely nailed their roles, making every character feel memorable and easy to root for.

Bonus points for the soundtrack, too. That pop-punk/rock anthem had me instantly hooked, bringing back memories of carefree, youthful summers blasting punk music.

This series completely caught me by surprise, and I loved every minute of it. Season 2 can't come soon enough.
