The characters are, surely, lovely. But a second season is always a risk for production: it does not guarantee a good outcome. In the case of "Make it right", the second season is poor in ideas and arguments: there is not a real climax and the characters live in a perfect world where everything happens as it is expected. The drama of Book as victim of an online sex video lacks consistency, logic and deep insight. It remains in the despair of Frame trying to be supportive of a depressed Book, but there is not a real villain, there is not a real explanation of why it happens and there is not any further consequence. The part of Tee and Fuse is even more worrisome: there is a vain attempt of Tee to walk away from an undecided Fuse, but it is also a succession of pink scenes without emotion, real drama and interest. Other alternative stories like the one of Rodtang seems too much artificial - Rodtang was very much interesting in the first season and his first partner was more real and dominant, while this second one is too passive. If it is popular, it's not because there is a succeed in the story, but it is more for the charm of the characters, but it is as there is another director or another playwright. I hope they will not try a third season that could be more damaging especially to the actors. It would be better to see them in new productions, new adventures and new ideas.?

As expected from the writer of "Stranger"! The story was a little slow for my taste but did not bore me, and the suspense was just right. It was quite disturbing. The story was slightly different from what I had in my head as I began watching but it definitely not a waste of time. It's not one of those dramas I would like to rewatch though. The plot was nicely packed into a 2-hour-long movie.

The music helped bring a certain mood to the scene and made it even more suspenseful, but the music itself was nothing memorable.

Also, Jo Jin Woong never fails to impress me with his acting! If it had not been because of him, I do not think I would have enjoyed it as much as I did.

This is your sequel in the first series. That's why I look forward to it because I feel, more struggles to experience and its real.
The actors evolved into much mature roles. This was a year after the first series and came to think that just one year ago the drama's timeline. I thought there would be lapses in acting because one year also passed, but the actors are really great. The composure, substance, and skills of each other, have improved.
The storyline was also leverage on the next level. It's more complicated, more difficult, and more robust. This drama has balance two face stories. Not just pure love, not just sadness, balance. And another, I see more capabilities of each character, how much they can and do for the people they care about.

There is one who needs to get away to fulfill their dreams, there is one who can not afford to be away of the one she loves because of distance, another one is in denial of what he is feeling inside but keeps on showing it, and the last one continue to love, reveal that Heartily though he is not sure if that person can afford all his offerings. These 4 faces of each character really hit me hard. You can be one of these four. You can be a martyr but childish, or be in denial but vocal to those you feel.
When I finished watching it, I know for myself that this is your last series, which will not have season 2 because of the close book. All questions have been answered in previous chapters. The fabulous and superb layout and texture of the story are accompanied by the intelligent performance of the selected actors. Kudos!

Met. Fallen. Fell down.
Who ever wants to join an organization that is super creepy of leaders? That's the question that hit my mind on the first few episodes. Just imagine, you will follow in every place, you'll be convinced, just to get you involved. Pretty creepy.
The storyline is simple. It seems almost all the Thai drama I've seen like this. The simpler, the better, that's the motto of Thai drama. Then there are encounters pa with cats and dogs. I do not like cats or dogs either, but when I look at it, I look at the animals. They are also people who need care, love and care.
The actors are really great. The first thing to do was but for a while, it fell too. Indeed, in the beginning, eventually, also fell. Pick up the plot, so maybe season 2 is just released this year.

I liked it. Such stories where being gay isn't that big of a deal so that the characters get together pretty fast are once in a while refreshing. The interaction between the characters felt very natural. I wished for more kisses or touches, but the one we got was great. Overall the story was a bit mysterious and not that well done. I wouldn't want to watch such a movie only because of the second story line. But hey, why not trying out different things? It was an ejoyable watch with some charming characters. I had to rewatch some scenes because I liked them so much. So go watch it! It was nice.

I heard a lot of good things about SOTUS. To be honest it's one of the smarter stories out there. I'm not familiar with those university systems. It seems it was highly exagerated in the series but something similiar does exist in Thailand. It really was interesting to see how someone like Artit seemed to be the bad guy, but at the end there were no bad guys. It was really touching, intelligent and you can learn some life lessons. To see the diference between the senior Artit and his self in private was really cute. He was such a different person. The love story makes your heart beat faster, that's also a plus. My only complain: Such characters like Kongpob who can do EVERYTHING (intelligent, talented, righteous) are getting boring fast. I'm not a fan of the actor either. His facial expressions were always pretty similar. He was a tipical nice guy and that was it. I don't need bad boys but I prefer characters with more interesting personalities and more conflict going on in their mind. Overall the series is as good as people say. For me a bit to cheesy at the end but hey! Ohters will like it. A big plus: I didn't feel like skipping parts even though the series is pretty long. It was really well done. They all looked like models and it was very "polished" which I don't prefer so much, but well, why not.

I wasn't sure going into this drama what I should expect. The overall acting was good. The heroine's acting on the other hand was mediocre. I was luckily able to ignore her okay performance by focusing on the main story plot that drew me in from the start. I haven't been able to come up with a comparison for this drama so as for originality I couldn't decide between an 8.5 or a 9. Once I started episode 1 I couldn't stop and ended up binge watching till the end of episode 12.

I was fast forwarding thru some parts and some of those scenes were parts I didn't feel like I would miss anything from. When it came time for the ending of episode 12 I can say it was bittersweet I didn't want it to end but at the same time I'm glad the ending had the right amount of sadness and happiness (if that makes sense). I find that stories that end with all the characters problems becoming resolved is a cliche. I was hesitant to start this drama specifically if it was going to have cliches in it throughout all the episodes (I was in the mood for a drama without the overwhelming cliches taking over the plot) I'm happy to say the ending was not one I was expecting but I overall enjoyed!

So glad I started this drama! :) I need more recs like this one ??

I'm not a fan of this. The character development was unexpected. It started out as a very realistic story with a gay boy who is in love with his good friend but want to have a "normal" life. It's all about being gay. One line I will never forget when they worked on a school project. Nuer was writing about great love stories, Porsche was working on LGBT rights. At the end he said: "Look at the diference. Your work takes you to temples, mine to night clubs." For that line alone this story deserves a 10, seriously. What I didn't like how it changed later on. A serious drama became somehow a cheesy love story where Nuer was in love with Porsche the whole time even though having a girlfriend for four years. I didn't see that coming. So everything was resolved pretty fast. I only watched 2 of 4 episodes. I lost interest after they became a couple. It seems they were accepted by the family but the story has a tragic ending. Maybe I shouldn't review something I didn't watch to the end, but the lead actors weren't charming enough to force me keep watching. I'm not a fan of those characters who lack will and personality and are smiling a lot. Nuer was such a character for me. That said in the two episodes I watched there were some very emotional and serious scenes. Overall it was a good watch. I can at least recommend the first two episodes.

I don't know why there is a need to compare this to Princess Agents, PA is a serious melodrama and I'm not about that, meanwhile this drama is a light romcom with some action. I just finished all 24 episodes, they're a short 30 minutes each.
The time travel plot was pretty solid and unique (and no, I don't get tired of this genre unless executed poorly) and the story moved along at a great pace where I never felt the need to hit the skip button. I loved that there was minimal court politics and instead they focused more on the cute romance between the leads.
The main male lead was perfect, like I would marry him right now hands down no objections. The main female lead was a little ehhh in the beginning, but she grew on me. She went from "you're slightly annoying?" to "you are funny, i like you" in a few episodes.
The OST is amazing- fits the mood of the drama. I can listen to it for hours.
Overall, great story, great chem, great costumes, great scenery, great music, i would def rewatch the scenes with the main couples.

This is surprisingly good/fun.

Byeol
Our heroine is a crazy academic and comes from a big family. She starts off pretty inane but then she turns out to be quite the badass. She had some unique trials as a child from scaring off the teachers with her big brain.

I liked seeing Byeol and Han Joo just naturally work together to look after Woo Rahm.


Han Joo
I like how he talked to his kid and how he grew into his role as a father. He wanted to be a better person for his child. I like how heroes become so honest in front of heroine’s parents. Our hero is a gangsta kind of guy.

Han Joo’s Parents
They were such a funny quirky couple.

“I can’t sleep thinking about him.”
“Whose idea was it to run away from home?”

The baby is so cute when he smiles.

This drama has by far the most natural couple I have ever seen in a Korean drama. The story line is intriguing and keeps on making one want to watch more. The story progresses slowly while also providing plenty of plot twists to make the story more interesting. Perfect drama if you want romance, time travel, or saguek. 10/10

Healer is the most wonderful and incredible k-drama I've watched this year for sure. I was amazed watching every episode.
The actors and actresses were on point! I like the characters, specially Young Sin. I liked her personality, the fact that she wanted to do some things for her own. I liked how brave she was even if she had this panic attack every time she saw a violent act.
Healer's hacker (Ahjumma) MY FAVORITE WOMAN EVER. LOVED HER. She was so pro! Always helping my guy to solve things. Wow. I was really impressed everytime.
And HEALER, my precious boy Seo Jung Hoo. I'm gonna miss him! This guy is BADASS. I really, really loved all his action scenes, I felt really bad about his story, but I'm so glad he found this awesome girl to take care of him because even if he is the one who protects, he truly deserves the best of the world and most important: love.
The scenery, the action scenes, THE OST. Omg, the OST was the best, best part. I ADORE IT. It's so beautiful.
This is my first action drama and I'm really happy I watched it. Thanks to my friend who recommended me. I cried, I laughed but specially I ENJOYED all the drama. Honestly, my favorite kdrama from now on. This is one I want to recommend always. Everyone HAS to watch this history. It was really touching and heartbreaking. I liked the funny scenes, they warm my heart.
Basically, I'm looking foward to watch it again and again.

Not just to a good writer and director and production team and such but WOW WAY TO GO YANG SE JONG!!! The moral dilemmas it explores are really beautifully handled... Greed and its results. it is truly touching and the question of what makes humans more than JUST another species doing any and everything for personal survival and gain... Just "What makes us human?"

I honestly have no words to describe this piece of art.
I've watched many kdramas since I've taken an interest in them but when I stumbled over this drama I was absolutely dumbfounded.

I'm one of those people who like an interesting, funny romance - but hate it when it is nothing but drama and the plot drags out for no reason. So with the combination of Romance, Comedy, Mystery, Suspense, and a creative Fantasy - I knew I had found the drama that I had been waiting to go back to whenever I was bored with my "currently watchings".

To start off, the actors are AMAZING. Their acting was superb within the action, comedic, and emotional scenes. They did their job without going over the top or completely emotionless.

I personally loved the story, even though I thought that the romance between the characters was too fast paced at first, but when you finally get yourself to wrap your head around the story line and the time difference between them, it makes perfect sense. It was touching, sweet, emotional, hilarious, suspenseful, action-packed, and kept me at the edge of my seat.

Also the fact that I'm actually taking my time to write my first review is proof enough to show how much I enjoyed it. I originally planned to watch it months back, but due to my busy schedule, I had to stop around the beginning, so I highly anticipated me taking my time to watch it and actually not skip through it. I did this with two dramas. And when I watched both, the first was not at all how hoped it would turn out, but this...........this one did NOT disappoint.
