Reviews

Zhang Si Fan and less antagonist screntime made me enjoy this more than the version 1

I recently discovered Zhang Si Fan through vertical drama The Clouds and wanted to explore his work. I chose this drama because I could write a review for a reddit column comparing two dramas from the same source. I prefer this version.

What I liked:
1. Romance - The couple in this version had good banters before they kissed. I liked that. The kissing scenes were hot thanks to ML (he's so into her).
2. FL characterisation - Her FL was cool, smart & poise. However it was silly that she had way too many identities e.g healer, expert violin player, hacker.
3. Acting - I liked Zhang Si Fan's performance in this drama. In terms of chemistry, it was ok.
4. Styling - The outfits chosen for FL were good. Thank gosh she didn't wear a uniform to attend classes at university. I liked the black suit & crimped hair.
5. Supporting characters - I liked ML's grandfather & parents. I also liked ML's assistant.
6. ML characterisation - He was curious and observant. I liked that he helped FL in ways that were not imposing to FL.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - Song family was manipulative. Song Bao Yi was pathetic.
2. Acting - I found Xiong Yu Ting quite stiff.
3. First act - Similar to the other version, the first hour offered nothing so I was bored.

Favourite scene
When ML & FL were hot for each other at breakfast

A Beautifully Shot Thriller That Loses Its Mystery

Sirens Kiss is a unique thriller that stands out most through its portrayal of Han Seol-ah, easily the show’s strongest and most compelling character. She is written as an emotionally complex woman whose traumatic past has left her emotionally detached and guarded. Rather than expressing herself openly, Seol-ah internalizes everything, which unintentionally makes her the perfect suspect in the eyes of others. Her inability to display emotion causes people to misinterpret her behavior, while her confidence in her own innocence leaves her feeling no obligation to constantly defend or explain herself. This creates an interesting dynamic where only those who truly understand her can recognize the truth beneath her cold exterior.

This naturally leads into her relationship with Cha Wook-seok, whose growing curiosity about Seol-ah becomes one of the show’s emotional anchors. Their dynamic is compelling because it develops under tense and emotionally fragile circumstances. Although the series carries a romance label, the relationship does not follow the conventions of a typical romantic drama. Instead, it initially feels more like a relationship built out of necessity and circumstance rather than genuine love. That approach ultimately works in the show’s favor, as it allows the romance to evolve gradually into something more believable and emotionally meaningful over time.

The investigative side of the story is also handled well for the most part. The detectives actively examine different perspectives in their search for the truth, though Gong Ju-yeong often became frustrating to watch. Her approach to the investigation frequently felt driven more by personal jealousy and emotional bias than by a genuine desire to objectively uncover the facts.

One of the show’s strongest themes is how truth can easily be manipulated depending on public perception. Sirens Kiss effectively explores how even honest words or actions can be twisted to fit a narrative, and how emotionally exhausting it becomes to constantly prove your innocence to people determined not to believe you. Han Seol-ah’s actions in Episode 9 especially emphasize that emotional exhaustion and serve as one of the series’ more impactful moments.

The mystery element starts off strong and genuinely suspenseful, but the series struggles to maintain that momentum. By around Episode 5, it becomes fairly obvious who is behind the murders, which weakens much of the tension for the remainder of the show. Considering this is only a 12-episode series, it would have benefited from preserving the mystery for longer instead of making the reveal so transparent early on. Unfortunately, the identity and motivations of the main culprit also lean heavily into cliché territory, which undermines some of the uniqueness the show initially established. As a result, the overall payoff feels underwhelming compared to the promising setup.

Despite those shortcomings, the series does deserve credit for how well it connects each character’s storyline to Han Seol-ah, whether through past relationships or present circumstances. The intertwining narratives are handled thoughtfully and help give the story emotional cohesion. One particular reveal involving someone from Seol-ah’s past was especially well executed and genuinely surprising, even if the hints became noticeable shortly before the reveal itself. The show balanced foreshadowing effectively without making every twist overly obvious.

Overall, Sirens Kiss is a decent thriller elevated by strong performances, excellent cinematography, and a memorable soundtrack that enhances many of the show’s emotional scenes. While the cast delivers convincing performances and the earlier episodes establish an intriguing psychological mystery, the reliance on clichés and weaker writing in the second half prevents the series from fully reaching its potential. Even so, its character work, particularly with Han Seol-ah, remains engaging enough to make the show worth watching.

I genuinely enjoyed it much more than I expected.
By the end, I realized that this series is much more than a simple crime investigation drama. It is a story about memory, trauma, guilt, obsession, and the way the past continues to haunt people long after they believe everything has been buried.
What impressed me the most — and what, in my opinion, truly makes this drama special — is the structure of the three timelines. The transitions between 1997, 2002, and 2015 are handled with incredible precision, and instead of confusing they slowly build a complete emotional and narrative puzzle. Every timeline adds something essential to the mystery, and each revelation changes the meaning of scenes that came before it. The drama constantly forces the viewer to rethink previous assumptions, but without ever making the story feel messy.
One of the drama’s greatest strengths is its atmosphere. From the very first episode, there is this constant feeling of discomfort hanging over the entire series. The old apartment buildings, the cold lighting, the rain-soaked streets, the abandoned hallways, and the eerie soundtrack all create a suffocating sense of tension. Even quiet scenes feel unsettling, as if something terrible could happen at any moment.
I also appreciated that the drama never became overly sensationalist. Despite involving serial crimes, disappearances, and shocking revelations, the series remains emotionally grounded. The focus is always on the people affected by the tragedy rather than on violence for the sake of entertainment. That emotional restraint gives the story much more maturity.

Surprisingly 'Beautiful'

I loved this series! I know there are a ton of negative reviews/comments about this series and admittedly, despite the myriad of legitimate issues it does have, I still think this is one of the better series to take a look at. Why? Because it has heart and it disregards the traditional path of telling a BL cliché story. It takes a direction I did not expect it to take. With an ending, I am sure, perhaps no one else except me respected. I loved and enjoyed the unconventional and heteroclite conclusion. It made logical sense. This is not a pablum-fed saga but a serious story. It is a solid adult tale with an uninhibited solution to an insoluble dilemma. Take it or leave it. There is nothing pre-pubescent or tripe about this series and that alone makes it worth considering. If the director had taken the story more seriously and believed in its integrity, this could have been a more impactful series.

Cute but cliche, had potential to be better with more character development

It was pleasant to watch and quite short since it's only 12 episodes. The acting was fine (IU performed much better in when life gives you tangerines), nothing extraordinary, the chemistry ok, the visuals great and the music quite good. The story however was average and with many plot holes, which could have been resolved with more character development. While I was watching the show I was wondering about many things that maybe I got wrong or maybe they didn't explain so well. Like why was the SML so obsessed with the FL when he never expressed his feelings towards her (and probably didn't want to earlier since she was an illegitimate daughter and probably wanted someone with more credentials). Why was the father so unloving towards the FL but still gave her the position of CEO? Shouldn't he have a more straightforward attitude? Why did the former king want to quit? I get that he was oppressed but we don't get to know him well enough to understand it. And I don't understand the main villain at all, his efforts seemed rushed and over the top. Oh and I really dislike the fact that after the marriage the FL that seems to be very powerful and determined, suddenly seems scared, weak and in need of a savior... As I said it was a good show, but that's about it. I know it's longer and older, but in that "modern day kingdom" and "fake marriage" categories I prefer Goong.

Really fun!!!! so radiantly vital and healthy - great communication, healthy look ppl, FUN!

I am watching 3 first bc I learned about it first and since it is a good experience, I will then watch 2 and 1.
I love 3, it is so funny lmao and the characters are so realistic and the plots are realistic (well to some point, lmao everything but the tunnel)

And I love watching the actors!!!! The style of filming, acting, and overall vibe is SO RADIANTLY HEALTHY!!!!! Everyone looks so healthy and energetic, they communicate, they smile, it is lovely!!!!! And there is no tons of white powder on their faces, tons of plastic surgery, skinny skeleton bodies. People have nice normal fit healthy bodies.
E.g. Mr Yoon the taecher has crow feet wrinkles on this face when he smiles, but he is omg aLOT more handsome than any of the modern actors!!!! he just glows!!!! he is 100% beautiful healthy radiant energetic man, no modern actors can even compare with that look. The modern male actors are pale and kinda lifeless, they cannot move much, and the drama makes them act poker faced, which is sooo boring.
And the women in this drama actually look sexy in their mini skirts, they got nice legs. Modern actresses literally look like skeletons, their leg bones like chopsticks in X shape clunking under the mini skirt, it is terrifyingly ugly.

Too many modern actors and actresses look *ill* ***anorexic*** pale poker-faced tired exhausted malnourished depressed non-expressive lethargic stagnant non-moving

So I TOTALLY LOVE this drama for the overal look and vibe of RADIANT HEALTH AND ENERGY AND VITALITY! SOOOOOOO NICE TO WATCH HEALTHY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

Yeah the series is long so Ms Park's dumbness is getting stale. Ms Park is so cringe, such cliche dumb damsel in distress REALLY dumb woman, to the point of being mentally disabled. Yet she is pretty and kind and socially aware, so she is treated as "desirable" when in reality, her IQ is about 100 and her mental capacity is like 6 yr old child - so her guy has to keep taking care of her. This is a major sexism in this drama. However, her guy is also rather mentally disabled too, he is not smart or rich either, and she is successful at work as a teacher, she is functional and socially respected, so in this drama sexism is not overdone to the cringe point like in modern kdramas.

So it is interesting how this "dumb woman requiring constant assistance of a man" concept has evolved in modern kdramas to make the woman a total loser and the man rich, controlling. and smart, i.e. the dumb damsel in distress concept is taken to extremely humiliating levels, obvious sexism and putting women down and exalting men. This imbalance leads to super boring 1-dimensional acting... yawn....

Luckily in this drama Mr. Yoon actor is very good at acting, and Ms. Park actress made the best out of her role too, so it is ok, she had smart twists and he is very expressive.

====
Nang was too hyperactive obnoxious, the acting was ... hm... a little too over the top at the start of the drama. Luckily he is kinda in the background the more you go into the drama and even acts as a mature wise kind compassionate guy

and the plot and the characters are so realistic, it is painful to watch the young TOTALLY immature dude buy like 10 hair pins... . but also that gives the drama the charm.... bc he finally bought her a Xmass gift and told her it is for her. It is nice to see progress :)

There should be season 4, that continues season 3... Bc I want to see what happened next...

I bet that ScooterGirl went to Rwanda and had a good time witih the Doctor, but also... I bet they broke up /never hooked up bc she is 16 yrs younger than him and not mature enough for him, and so I would think the best solution is that she came back to Korea to LongLegs, who, by then, will be an adult and a man.

Ms. Park and Mr. Yoon should have like 10kids, and I wonder if he still behaves crazy with that bat

The actress who is the freeloader female character that eventually works for Dr. Yoon is the weakest acting in the drama and that shows in all her future dramas

it was impressive to have a Caucasian actor in there and it is sad that modern kdramas do not use that

Dr. Yoon actor is phenomenal actor and it shows in his future dramas
Most recently, Heroes Next Door

ScooterGirl actress did a great job, as well as LongLegs actor -
Also Mom actress did a great job. It is strange that this is one of her last "nice" roles, when I saw her in Beauty and Mr Romantic and other dramas, her roles and acting were too.... cringe

Crystal actress did not have to act much, just go crazy. Her suitor is inrelatively similar category but he actually acted more complex stuff and did a good job

-Glory nie je zlá dráma, to v žiadnom prípade nemôžem napísať, ale nie je to ani nič, čo by ma ohúrilo alebo by sa mi nejakým spôsobom vrylo hlbšie do pamäte. Príbeh je vcelku dobrý, neokukaný, tempo a vizuál taktiež na veľmi vysokej úrovni a herecké obsadenie na jednotku. Na dráme je hneď od prvej epizódy jasne vidieť, že rozpočet bol vysoký. Na ničom sa nešetrilo. Kulisy, rekvizity, kostýmy, doplnky všetko je úžasné. Nebolo badať, že by niečo pôsobilo lacno alebo gýčovito. Hlavne čo sa týka kostýmov, tie boli naozaj skvelé. No stále mi tu niečo chýbalo.... keď sa spätne zamyslím, ani sama neviem definovať, čo presne to je. Proste taký vnútorný pocit neúplnosti.

-Glory som začala pozerať hlavne kvôli Hou Ming Hao. Bola som veľmi zvedavá, ako si tu povedie. Pretože v Love in the Clouds mi vyslovene sadol a neviem si predstaviť, že by postavu Ji Bozaia stvárnil niekto iný. No v Back from the Brink, ako naivný dráčik Tian Yao ma vyslovene iritoval. V Glory ako sudca Lu Jiang Lai to bolo niečo medzi. Nevadil mi, ale keby ho nahradil iný herec, vôbec by som neprotestovala. Každopádne sa mi tu ale jedná skôr o jeho postavu, nie o herca samotného. Pretože HMH mám ako herca vcelku rada, je to proste sympaťák, ktorý dokáže stvárniť akúkoľvek úlohu a jeho herectvo je na veľmi dobrej úrovni. No postava LJL ma dovádzala do šialenstva. Asi oko 20 epizódy to s ním proste šlo z kopca. Dovtedy sa mi páčila jeho vypočítavá, chladná, inteligentná ale popri tom citlivá osobnosť, no potom sa pretransformoval na zamilovaného, skoro nesvojprávneho hlupáka, s prepáčením za výraz. Toto je dosť otravné klišé skoro všetkých c-dram. Keď sa hlavný hrdina naozaj zamiluje, tak stráca seba samého a z toho muža, ktorého sme videli pred tým, nezostane v podstate nič. Tu to bolo obdobné. Síce inteligencia mu ostala, ale jeho osobnosť sa rapídne zmenila a všetko kvôli žene, ktorá bola chladná ako ľadová socha. Popravde až do konca som nepochopila čo na nej vidí. Ale tak srdcu nerozkážeš, ako sa vraví.

-Gulnezer Bextiyar som videla prvý krát. A neviem či sa z tejto drámy dá posúdiť aká je herečka, pretože od prvej do poslednej epizódy mala na tvári ten istý, nezúčastnený výraz. Ani oči nič neprezrádzali. A teraz som si nie istá, či je tak skvelá herečka, že to dokázala zahrať alebo priemerná herečka, preto že nedokázala nahodiť iný výraz..... Takže hodnotenia jej výkonu sa zdržím, ohodnotím len postavu Rong Shan Bao, ktorú stvárnila. Tak chladnú, nesympatickú, miestami až arogantnú hlavnú hrdinku som ešte nevidela. Na jednej strane chápem, že to bol zámer. Bola nástupkyňou vodcu klanu, a babka ju od malička učila, že emócie nemajú vo vedení čo robiť. Na strane druhej jej z môjho pohľadu chýbalo aspoň kúsok ľudskosti. Pretože všetko čo robila, aj keď to možno vyzeralo, že to robí pre LJL, tak robila s postranným úmyslom, ktorý priniesol prospech aj jej rodine. Takže nikdy nič neurobila len pre neho. Jej odmeraný postoj voči nemu ma neskutočne iritoval, a ešte viac ma iritoval fakt, ako sa jej LJL stále ,,podlizoval,,. Je pravda, že prvý kto mal postranné úmysly a začal s klamstvami bol on, ale potom sa to snažil toľkokrát napraviť, že už aj diamant by stratil zo svojej tvrdosti, ale ona nie... Jej postava bola až moc inteligentná a prešpekulovaná. A to nemám nič proti sebavedomým samostatným ženám, no toto bolo trošku moc. Proste sa mi jej charakter vôbec nepáčil. Pôsobila na mňa ako robot, ktorý nemá nič spoločné s človekom.

-Čo sa týka vzťahu alebo teda romantiky medzi našimi hlavnými hrdinami, tam som tiež mala problém. GB je v reálnom živote o šesť rokov staršia od HMH a bolo to proste znateľné. A ešte keď k tomu pridám fakt, že HMH vyzerá omnoho mladšie ako je jeho skutočný vek, tak mi z toho vzniklo dosť nereálne spojenie. Na mňa pôsobili vzhľadovo aj správaním skôr ako učiteľka so študentom. O nejakej spaľujúcej chémii alebo osudovej romantike sa tu nedá moc hovoriť. Navyše tých romantických scén tu bolo naozaj veľmi málo. Ale ok uznávam, romantika tu nebola hlavnou dejovou linkou.

-Všetky sestry RSB si svoje úlohy splnili naozaj svedomito a herecky nezaostávali za hlavnými hrdinami. Všetky ma celý čas poriadne štvali a tak to malo byť. Presne od toho tam boli, aby trošku rozvírili pokojnú hladinu. No boli veľmi dôležitým prvkom deja. Čo sa týka babky , tú by som poslala do domova dôchodcov - nič v zlom samozrejme, ale tá žena tam bola najväčším rozvracačom vzťahov príbuzenských aj romantických.

..............SPOILER...............
Už keď sme pri premene mužských osobností na zamilovaných hlupákov.....Rong Yun Shu a Bai Ying Sheng, to bol tiež ,,párik snov,, A znovu jeden zamilovaný, nesvojprávny hlupák. Zradila ho, klamala, ponížila, bodla a následne hodila do rieky....A čo on? Normálny chlap by sa na ňu minimálne vykašľal, no keďže normálni chlapi asi neexistujú, tak jej všetko odpustil a ešte za ňou aj doliezal, aj keď ho odmietala. Toto bolo naozaj na smiech. Aj keď sa ku koncu spamätala a prestala robiť všetkým naokolo zle, tak sa predsa nedá len tak zabudnúť na predošlé krivdy a hriechy. A hlavne keď to neboli žiadne banality.
.............KONIEC SPOILERU.............

-Ešte k posledným šiestim epizódam, ktoré sa venujú rodine LJL. Prevažná väčšina recenzentov píše, že to boli úplne zbytočné epizódy, ktoré len pokazili dej. Noooo tak ja som asi iná, ale popravde musím napísať, že mne sa týchto posledných pár epizód páčilo asi najviac z celej drámy. A kľudne by som brala, keby sme sa do prostredia tejto ,,šťastnej rodinky,, presunuli omnoho skôr. Táto dejová slučka bola pre mňa veľmi zaujímavá. A beriem ju ako príjemné spestrenie po epizódach, ktoré sa točili okolo čajových plantáží.

............ZHRNUTIE...........
Aj keď je príbeh o ženách spravujúcich čajové plantáže neokukaný a vizuál drámy naozaj podmanivý, tak ostatné aspekty neboli dobre podané. Glory mi neponúkla žiadnu postavu s ktorou by som sa naplno stotožnila alebo by som si k nej vytvorila puto. Herecké výkony sú síce pôsobivé, ale chyba nastala na strane scenáristov. No toto je samozrejme len môj osobný uhol pohľadu. Každý z nás preferuje niečo iné, takže sa isto nájdu aj ľudia, ktorí budú drámou očarení. No ja medzi nich bohužiaľ nepatrím. Podľa hodnotení som očakávala niečo viac, no opäť sa mi tu potvrdilo moje pravidlo, že nie všetko, čo má skvelé hodnotenia, bude pre mňa to ,,pravé orechové,,. Mne tu chýbala hĺbka, hlavne čo sa týka citov. Priveľa chladu a vypočítavosti nebolo kompenzované dostatočným množstvom ľudskosti. Oceňujem, že ženy boli inteligentné a samostatné, ale to automaticky neznamená, že musia byť aj bezcitné a samoľúbe. Naproti tomu tu muži boli podaní ako slabé články, ktoré sa nechávajú ovládať emóciami a strácajú kontrolu nad svojimi životmi. Podľa mňa to bol dosť zaujatý a jednostranný pohľad na svet. Mne to tu trošku zaváňalo ženským šovinizmom a popravde nepatrím k prívržencom tohto postoja. Glory som si pozrela, niečo sa mi páčilo, niečo nie, ale viac krát sa už k tejto dráme nevrátim. Za jedno pozretie ale určite stojí.

This is a must watch!!

I love this drama!! I first watched it when it came out and I loved the acting, the music, and the story line. Now a year has passed and I wanted to binge watch some asian shows again and stumbled across Ski Into Love, or Shh, The King Is Hibernating, and omggg after watching it again I still felt butterflies in my stomach and giggled like a little girl everytime something happened between Shan Chong and Wei Zhi!! I like it cause the characters don’t beat around the bush and take forever to get together! If I could watch this show for the first time again I would, but for now I just have to wait a while till I forget some of the plot.. hehe. I also want to say watching Ski Into Love really made me want to get into snowboarding so i’ll definitely try it out!

If you really like a heartwarming , feel good show, then this is it. The actors have such good chemistry together it makes me wish it was actually real.

Good Idea, Poor Execution

My Issues

1. The ML - Initially, the seemingly mean, and rude and ignorant behaviour, combined with the overly-friendly stalkerish behaviour with the pretty people, combined with his look, he was bouncing between clueless nerd and Jefferey Dahmer. He was either creepy or cringe. That, for me, was how it was until a short time after Su Miao died. It was more disturbing than humorous, and it was at least cringeworthy. His modern drama old man behaviour made things worse in this as well. He became more likeable from the end of episode nine.

2. The make-up situation - She clearly had makeup on most of the way through, there were only a couple of times that it looked like she might not have any on, once in the first episode, and when she was in bed. She was supposed to be not wearing make-up but it was too obvious that she was wearing a matt mask and smudged eye make-up, and sometimes had more on, and at least one of those times, she had a full face on when people were talking to her about putting make-up on as if she didnt already. Then, to make matters worse, she started applying make-up and it was just a cleaner version of what she'd been wearing all along.

3. Invisible issue, one - She became invisible and made a speech about not being able to let go of the filter, and it was obviously supposed to be this sad scene to do with her insecurities about her looks, but from what we saw, she never overindulged with the bracelet, it was just used to serve a purpose, and the only time she stayed longer than necessary as someone else was when she had no choice.

4. Invisible issue, two - It was obvious everyone kept looking directly at her face when she was invisible throughout, and when they reached out it was obvious they purposely avoided her.

5. The lead's relationship is awkward and cringy. I get that they're trying to do teen nerdy first love stuff, but it was weird, and I didnt believe they actually liked each other at all, they didn't even feel like friends and there was zero chemistry, and ALL the kisses were bad. Some people might have found them funny together but I just thought it was icky. There were moments that made them ok.

---------

I really liked the fun tech, and the music, and some of the more emotional scenes. Also, I like the second pairing a lot, and they are one of my all-time favs.

It was entertaining enough to keep watching, but that's it, there were too many big issues for me to find it more than mildly entertaining and decent on the whole.

In this era of change, love isn't just a feeling. It's a promise we keep through the storms of life

"I used to think I was unlucky...But only now do I realize that all good fortune had been saved up so I could meet you." — Fei Ni.

"Sometimes what we call bad luck is simply life's way of preparing us for something greater. If the road north is blocked, you take the long way around and maybe rest a while before you begin again."

Fei Ni is the kind of female lead you root for from the very first scene. A passionate reader with an unwavering dream of becoming a writer, her path to university is blocked at every turn and yet she refuses to stop. She doesn't just endure her circumstances, she embodies determination. Every setback, every failure only seems to sharpen her resolve.

And then there is Fang Mu Yang — the person her "bad luck" leads her to. What she doesn't know at first is that this chance encounter will turn out to be the greatest blessing of her life. Their chemistry is genuinely heartwarming, the kind that sneaks up on you quietly and then refuses to let go.

What stayed with me most wasn't the romance, though it was what the show says about having someone in your corner. Not a perfect person but someone who supports you whenever you need him/her. Fang Mu Yang is that person for Fei Ni and watching it made me realize how much that can change the weight of everything else — failure, poverty, uncertainty. None of it disappears, but somehow it stops feeling unsurvivable.

If you're looking for a story that pairs quiet resilience with a romance that actually feels earned. This one is worth every episode.

Fun, Enjoyable Movie

I recently rewatched this Thai film on aThai Airways flight and it reminded me why it left an impression on me the first time.

One of the highlights for me is the chemistry between Baifern and the male lead. Their interactions feel natural and emotionally convincing. There’s a certain charm in how they play off each other that carries the film through both its lighter and more dramatic moments.

Having watched several other movies starring Baifern, I can confidently say I’ve become a fan. She brings a consistent warmth and hrt looks surely helps and this film is no exception. Her performance here is natural and believable.

Even though this movie was done 5 years ago, it still holds up well today. The themes feel relevant, and the overall execution remains enjoyable.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this movie—especially if you’re a fan of Thai cinema or looking to explore more of Baifern’s work. It’s an easy, satisfying watch.

QUE DELÍCIA DE DORAMA

Como uma bela receita de chocolate, teve tudo na medida certa, um slow burn (q eu amo), falaram sobre importância da saúde mental, uma história envolvente e triste mas com uma resolução muito esperançosa 🫶

Amei ambos os casais se abrindo mais um com o outro, principalmente a maturidade do casal secundário (depois de todo o rolo), e consequentemente com as demais pessoas, eles não se curaram magicamente pelo poder do amor mas tivemos um fim realista q eu achei muito bem feito

*único ponto negativo q eu diria foi a falta de uma cena mostrando os funcionários chateados pela enganação do novo diretor, ficaram com raiva da Hana mas ele parece q só ignoraram? Se a briga entre os dias tivesse acontecido dentro da confeitaria, eles poderiam ter ouvido e evoluído algo daí, ficou parecendo q a mentira dela foi mais danosa q a dele, o q não faz sentido

Absolute peak Korean action cinema

First screened at Cannes 2026, when none were expecting anything new to come out from zombie franchises anymore, director/writer Yeon Sang Ho is here to prove them wrong, this time around with fresh new implementation and insanely stellar performances, even bested himself after all the monster flicks that he has done in recent years. It has plot development and storytelling that makes actual sense, the heightened suspense is top class from all the settings that they've built, which gave the movie one of the most convincing villains ever in Korean movies. Acting performance is intense and the action sequence is sleek and highly believable, absolutely peak Korean action cinema.

A definitely must-watch comedic crime story

I originally got curious about this show to see TXW in a different role, but what I got was a lot more.

At first, I was a bit skeptical about the story since this was my first time watching a Chinese drama of this genre. But every click to the next episode, I got hooked by the curiosity on what comedic scene will play out next and how the ending will unravel. I also got overwhelmed on the number of characters involved in the plot initially, but turns out each played a significant role on the amazingly intricate woven plot of the show. The ending was also satisfying imo.

Overall, a great show indeed.
