The Enraging Conclusion of Duty after school Part 2

I never thought I would find myself writing a review, but I just have to get this off my chest – the ending was absolutely infuriating! After witnessing the promising character development of each individual, it felt like a complete betrayal to have them all meet their demise at the hands of a psycho obsessed with CSAT. Part 1 started off so well; I'm left wondering why the writers decided to take such a dark turn. In the novel, I heard that many students survived, yet in the series, only four managed to make it out alive. While I'm relieved that my two favorite characters survived, it was completely unexpected and left me with mixed emotions. Despite my frustration with the ending, I must admit it was still a good watch overall.

How I Found Unexpected Delight in Alien Apocalypse

I thoroughly enjoyed the series! Despite not typically being a fan of alien invasion themes, I was drawn to it because of its resemblance to 'All of Us Are Dead,' and I didn't regret my decision. The execution of the storyline was impressive, and even though the main characters are students, their disorientation added to the entertainment value. My favorite character has to be 'Na RA'—she's like the Namra version in 'All of Us Are Dead': cool, mysterious, and incredibly capable, perhaps even more so than the boys. I appreciate the chemistry between Kimchi and her, although I understand it's not the main focus of the story. I hope they don't meet a tragic end. Given the apocalyptic alien theme, deaths are inevitable, and I was genuinely shocked when our team leader died in the ending. Overall, it was a fantastic series, and I'm hoping that Part 2 will deliver the same level of excitement!

Apocalyptic Brilliance

This zombie apocalypse series ranks among my favorites, with each episode delivering intense excitement. While some criticize the characters for not making sound decisions in zombie encounters, I consider their actions within the context of being students. My standout character is Namra, the brainy president, who initially intrigued me with her mysterious and cold demeanor. When she transformed into a hambie, she became even more captivating.

There's debate about her perceived selfishness in not informing others about Nayeon infecting Gyeong Soo in a particular episode. However, I argue that this aligns with her character. Frankly, she's the unsung hero of the series, as the survival of other characters, including Onjo, hinges on her actions. The pivotal moment of preventing a missile strike on their school? That was all her. Yet, she doesn't receive enough credit, with people fixating on a single perceived mistake in her actions. She's the true MVP of the series. In summary, this stands out as one of my all-time favorite shows

Cool thriller but disappointing ending

I enjoy watching highschoolers in thrillers because its fun to see how they think and act as i am an highschooler too. This drama started on well it had surprising element. You wouldn't know who would be next. But by the end i felt it was rushed.

The drama had potential but it lacked in many places except the acting. I think actors did a great job with what they were given.

The ending: They should have shown more of seun, literally show like 20 secs of her, for us to truly feel what she went through. The way jungwon killed herself it indicated that seun wanted the games to come to an end. But the parents still kept it going bruh? They didnt know how to end the show so they just showed the game is still on. Otherwise they would have to show the students going back to their lives.
I don't care about the bullies being punished but the parents literally punished some innocent students and HER BEST FRIEND just for not knowing what she went through. It didn't make sense.

Overall, It's a okay one time watch.

abusive love story...

when i watched this movie... i had to take multiple breaks to finish it... i see a lot of reviews of people saying it is 'pure art' and while i do see how they could come to that conclusion, considering the way the movie is filmed, (i like the way it was filmed, it really does give it a unique vibe) i still firmly believe that this movie was absolutely terrible. in the movie, the main characters brother falls for her, and one of the 'love interests' encourages her to send explicit pictures of her body, and her brother ends up finding out. the plot is dark, and none of the boys she is set up to 'fall in love with' had any redeeming qualities at all. if you look at this from a non-romantic point of view, then its a great movie about a girl who meets the wrong people and ends up getting into some bad stuff, but ultimately finds that she doesn't need any kind of romance. but when you go into the movie expecting a love triangle of some sort, it just feels like a psychological horror more than anything.

to be completely fair, its been a while since i've seen this movie (i only recently got this app) but i figured i'd warn anyone who is expecting something good and romantic. to say the least, this movie was "black!"

Overall

Now it may seem like I just put 10/10 for the hell of it but I genuinely believe that this drama is one of my favorites this year.

It was so well written and so well thought out, except for the part that’s making people think this show has no critical thinking skills. Everything else is well thought out. Like how in one of the earlier episode when people went on a hike to see what the limits were. There was a person with a camera recording and he saw people so they were all shouting trying to get their attention. But looking back at their footage they noticed how the birds and the people never moved even though the students were very much screaming for help. That scene should have made all of us realize that this was some sort of game game like a simulation. Which we find out in the very last episode in the final minutes.

As for the acting I loved Kim Wooseok as Joonhee he was very protective to Yoonseo played by Lee Jaein. I hate the fact that I’m the end the only sort of closure we got of that relationship was when Yoonseo confessed her feelings for Joonhee after she thought he died. I liked the dynamic of all of the characters and how the interacted together. Like the big guy with glasses how he felt genuine betrayal after his friend voted for him since he had a stab wound on his stomach. I loved how we almost got a redemption arc out of Kyunghon but was then thrown anyway in the very same episode. I also loved the fake that they got Jin Dabeom to be a sudden mafia. Like I was actually shocked when it turned out to be him. After he killed Kyunghon I instantly hated him I know Kyunghon bullied Dabeom but still I can hate him if I want to.

What I’m trying to say is that I love this drama very much. This is the very first time I’m writing a review for a drama and that’s mainly because I read some other peoples review and some of them forgot about the little part that should have been obvious that it was a simulation. But I guess that flew over everyone else’s heads.

I just really really hope that this drama gets a second season because I want to know what will happen since it seems like Yoonseo remembers what happened when she woke up in the real world. I also want to see however else’s dynamic is going to change now that there’s been a little change. I also want to see if there goings to be any interactions between Yoonseo and Joonhee. Anyway if you read this thanks for putting up with this and understanding.

I hope you all have a great day and have an amazing Christmas!!!

Don't Think... go watch now!

Oh my.. what a thriller cum suspense movie. One of the best K-movie of this genre I must say.

You will keep on guessing what might be the catch but till the very end you won't know.
So take my opinion over this, don't force yourself to pick up on any clues.. you won't get any.. in this process you will ruin the mood that the movie is going to set.
Just watch with a blank mind and enjoy this masterpiece.
Trust me.. i somehow resent myself for ruining it by thinking about the possible suspense in every 5 mins.

The acting the plot is mind boggling and will leave you amazed at its twist and turns.

The first 15 mins may seem like a horror genre and m not gonna lie.. there's a jumpscare as well to make you believe it to be one. But actually it's a thriller suspense movie so don't quit just because it scared you in the beginning! :D

Must watch movie!

noooo

i read the warnings for the last 2 episodes but still watched them. i know that's dumb but it was worth a little for the second lead couple i really liked them. because the first couple was a bit toxic i mean who falls for a person who blames you and had hit you. it didn't matter much because i have seen worst but i didn't expect anything of this level. I just can't re-watch it's too sad and i have enough reason to cry already.

Hoping for More Depth in This Series

The storyline of this series struck me as a bit awkward. When they returned, the same old relationship problem resurfaced, and the resolution seemed a bit too swift for my liking. The process of dealing with the issue and getting back on track felt somewhat rushed. What caught my attention, or rather, what didn't quite sit right with me, was the FL's character transformation. It appeared simplified, merely by accepting ML's help with her bag at the airport.

In my opinion, this series missed an opportunity to delve into the intricacies of how the characters compromise and evolve to make their relationship work. The focus on these essential aspects could have added depth and authenticity to the storyline. Instead, the series opted for a quicker resolution, and as a result, the ending feels somewhat forced into a happy conclusion. I believe a more detailed exploration of their journey could have given the series a more satisfying and genuine feel.

omg?

one of the most ENTERTAINING things ive watched all year ?? automatically the cast is WAY more interesting than the last two seasons, yes ofc theyre are some boring people but like not as much as season 1 and 2. okay rating the cast!
update after a while: WHY IS EVERYONE IN THE OTHER REVIEWS HATING ON THIS SEASON SO MUCH I GENUINELY LIKED IT WHAT

kim gyuri- her first impression really REALLY rubbed me the wrong way god. when hyeseon complimented her she just kind of half smiled and didnt say anything like what.... (it might be because of the editing or maybe she didnt hear but idk...) so at first i really didnt like that, girly was definitely tryna pull a jia, but after she got rejected (ig even the guys picked up on it) and changed her personality, it became much more bareable to watch her so i appreciate her getting humbled. still super boring tho we dont really see much of her in the later episodes. ep 10 was such a rollercoaster, tell me why she was dissapointed that minwoo 'disobeyed' her and didnt stay put like she told him to, girl does he have to obey you? is he yours? are u not letting this man talk to other girls? i feel so bad for minwoo having to deal with this weird overprotective jealous gyuri staking claim on him like hes some sort of meat uhm...

choi hyeseon- ahhh she seems like a super nice and chill person to be around, i dont have anything bad to say about her nor anything to praise her about, she was just there and i think shed be a really good friend to everyone there. the fact that she was everything gwanhee WASNT interested in (a woman who doesnt approach him first, doesnt fall for his tactics, doesnt give him the satisfaction) and he STILL chose her just proves shes such a girlboss

choi minwoo- he doesnt really talk much so ofc hes kind of a mysterious person but i do think hes super kind but just not that outspoken. tell me why hes the person who talks the least (aside from habin) and still pulls girls oh well

lee jinseok- hes so amazing i love it. u can really tell hes super mature and laidback, not to mention FUNNY god, he can pull jokes out of his ass and make it sound comedic, im was rooting for him and minji, i was giggling and kicking my feet the whole time watching their paradise date (can i just say hes still younger than gwanhee but acts 38574967768476284 times more mature than that man child)

ahn minyoung- oh boy... at first! i really liked her personality she seemed like super duper bubbly and cute but as i continued watching the show, her behaviour was LITTLE icky okay maybe, a lot... she loves the attention she gets from jinseok but whenever someone puts them together or groups the two as together, she gets all pissy, i think shes mentioned she and him have a 'brother-sister' dynamic maybe 357397453 times already. now that jinseok is on a date with the new girl, shes only worried (not even jealous) now that no one will pay her any mind. cos i damn well know, if there was another guy on inferno, shed be cosying up to, she wouldnt give two fucks about what jinseoks up to with minji, im sorry but during the chicken (?) fight you could see her hip pads sticking out (cos her leg was lifted) idk if anyone else saw but it was so obvious ☠︎︎ ☠︎︎

lee gwan hee- DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED i knew he was so grotty from the get go, i just had a gut feeling, something wasnt right, because during the date with hajeong, he kept like idk rambling(?) about what she felt and her feelings and what shes gonna do, idek i couldnt register what was being said it just felt like a blur, but yeah the way he would constantly ask if she liked him was offputting, like do u need a constant confidence boost or something, do u need to boost ur ego every 5 minutes huh AND THEN ep 5 when ha jeong was going off at him was SO GOOD i was so invested and the scene with the girls talking about how gwanhee was treating them YESS i was cheering for all of them behind my screen, update after watching the most recent episodes, hes definitely improved himself and isnt as self centered as before but some of his behaviour and mannerisms really confuse me like i need to know what this man is thinking to pull the shit hes been pulling lately

son wonik- WOAH hes- hes super fine, just had to add it there, okay so not really much to say about him but he just seems like a sweet and soft guy, that date with sieun was so bad ?? the awkward tension dawg get me outta there. i really hoped he would get more screentime but that never happened _(:‚‹」∠)_

yun habin- uhm. no comment. he got really cocky after getting 5 candies so that kinda made me a little weirded out. im sorry he doesnt really get much screentime so no one even knows anything about him, hes just there which is kinda sad
update in the last episodes with his date with hajeong, bro didnt even try to communicate with her he was such a snoozefest i feel so bad for my girl for wasting her last date with this party pooper

yun hajeong- MY QUEEEN she makes the show fun by just being there, her presence is insane. i LOVE the way she talks and how shes so blunt yet flirty, like she has more personality than all the other contestants COMBINED, i dont think shes gonna end up with gwanhee anymore cos he kinda drifted away from her which im kinda salty about

park mingyu- we love a man in uniform. yes yes nothing much to say again, hes super shy and timid compared to his appearance which is a nice contrast, i think hes gonna end up with gyuri but gyuri doesnt seem to be as interested in him as he is with her so idk whats gonna happen. i also love how sweet and caring he is, no matter who hes talking to so i just have to praise him for that. the way he gave minji his shirt to wipe her tears i was cackling but seriously hes so adorable

yu sieun- something about this girl ICKED me the moment she was introduced, also the way jinyoung? dex? (why does everyone just call him dex now all of a sudden) mentioned she looked liked jennie had me rolling cos she literally doesnt in any way i dont know what hes getting at ?? over time shes getting a little more better to watch and i do think her and minwoo will get together! (i just have to say though.... the amount of times she strokes her hair and the way she tilts her head while doing it too infuriates me so much)

cho minji- the new girl! she seemed super sweet from the start and she had MASSIVE chemistry with jinseok and i loved that, i hated how he was just getting dragged around by minyoung (he deserves a happy ending) theyre so cute omg....
update, i can tell minji is super into gwanhee now so ig that isnt happening anymore aw man, also can we talk about her crying every 2 seconds over gwanhee, mind you, she met him like 2 days ago, i wish i was joking. shes gotten a little annoying bro, the way her date with jinseok and gwanhee was her just asking if she looked pretty and shamelessly tryna flirt, and her date with mingkyu was just her ranting to him about gwanhee i felt SO BAD for my man mingkyu there hes basically acting as her therapist atp

final couple predictions!
sieun and minwoo- the timing FINALLY worked out omg i felt so bad they couldnt even talk until the last few days omg
gyuri and mingkyu- they havent really gotten much screentime together, i literally forgot what happened in their date
gwanhee and hyeseon- they were just end game since the beginning! tho i dont like how hes been treating minji so nicely, then giving her the cold shoulder then just suddenly turning to hyeseon like??? maybe its just me
jinseok and minyoung- atp they just have no other choice ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

habin, hajeong, won ik, minji are left over but they deserve so much better, especially my girl hajeong like gwanhee just left her on the sidelines like that, though maybe the date with habin and hajeong might go well and they end up together who knows sigh

GUYS THE SHOW FINISHEDD all the couples were as i expected and i think after the show only minwoo+sieun and gwanhee+hyeseon are still together or at least were together for a little while after shooting ended bro i can just tell gyuri+mingkyu and jinseok+minyoung didnt even last 1 second after. okay wrapping up it was such a rollercoaster with all these interesting(?) people bro i swear my brain was working overtime tryna understand some of these contestants but overall so fun! season 4 should def introduce eliminations and new people cos im sorry half these couples that were a thing, i could tell werent even into their supposed 'partners' and who they said they 'like' they were just doing it cos they had no other option dawg, ALSO idk if u guys know sultry film on youtube shes so brutally honest which makes it funny but yeah she said hajeong should be one of the people in the panel and replace dex which i wholeheartedly agree with JUSTICE FOR HAJEONG

Difficult to say good or bad

I was so hype for this series,first reason is taynew comeback and 2nd it's adaptation of my favourite japnese novel cherry magic... I have already watched japnese version live adaptation and it soon become my favourite bl of all time ... In Thai version it's really difficult to say, bcz sometimes it blew my mind sometimes it looks so cringe I can't help but skipping so many scenes ... In Thai version Karan looks like he fall in love with achi just 1 day ago but in japanese version KUROSAWA looks like he loves adachi for so many years .. there are so many green flags character in BL Industry but we all know why people call Kurosawa green forest bcz his serious and pure thoughts about adachi is what makes his character unique and iconic from other green flag character... But In Thai version Karan looks like he recently fall in love with achi and whenever achi and Karan touch each other and achi reading karan's inner thought that scene looks so fake and weird why the hell people will touch another person for so long while giving weird expression at the same time it's creepy and abnormal behaviour plus Karan looks like pervert which is hungry for sexual desire ....new is doing great job with acting and side characters are good ... But I don't know why they made Thai version fake and cringe

Good but not great

Cute fluffy drama. Good chemistry between the leads and cute sibling relationship between Sang zhi and her brother. The very realistic portrayal of siblings was my favorite part of this drama! Main complaint is ZLS portrayal was too exaggerated. She spoke in such a slow baby voice it felt like she was developmentally delayed. Especially weird because the child that played her younger self was so smart and quick-witted and then suddenly when she grew up, its like she lost some IQ. ZlS portrayal was very cringy at times. The director did an amazing job giving us shots of CZY that felt alot like your dreamy first crush and he certainly acted and looked the part.

Overall the story is cute with good chemistry but the female lead acting too juvenile can be annoying to watch.

Could have been far better!

The story of a dark hero leading a dual life fighting for justice has always been a popular one. Most of us have grown up watching the likes of Batman. Now we are presented with a Korean webtoon adaptation of the dark hero character called Vigilante who fights crime in the shadows and doesn't mind to kill.
But the story doesn't seem much appeasing as the events could be predicted pretty easily from the early parts of the story. The life of the connected characters' and how they ended up where they were at that point in time should've been better flushed out. Instead all we get is just simple brooding MC and his vigilantism activities. But the funny thing is that the MC doesn't even bother covering his face in a well CCTV connected country like South Korea and he gets away with it every time.
Hope the next season, if it happens, have a decent storyline and better flushed out characters.
Here hoping and even with all its faults I have to admit this really was a good one time watch.
