A very beginner level drama with top class actors
Genuinely great cast. Love it! Hwang In youp , Lee Hye Ri , Baek Sung chul, Park Ji Young and Lee Sang Yeob. I want to say that with this cast I should've expected more from the drama. But my expectations weren't at all met.The first episode left me seriously disappointed. There was something missing in the whole drama in my opinion. Most of them had a relation to emotional depth. The second chance, reunion plot needs a lot of emotion, and is hard to get right. The first episode when the leads met, the emotional weight seen at all.
The other missing thing was enough chemistry. The characters seemed like they hadn't changed at all even though half of the scenes were trying to show that they changed after 10 years. It didn't feel like "two lovers in the past reunited again". It felt like two really good besties had a falling out and one of them met each other after a week and reconciled.
Oh, yes, the reconciling part. There was a scene where Woo Su Bin started trauma dumping as to why he didn't see her for 14 days and Ju Yi Jae says "I DON'T CARE" What! What do you mean??!!!!! I was very confused cause the reason was very concerning. Ah, I don't know.
Next, during the 4th episode I think, there was a sudden kiss. I thought that the kiss could turn the emotions around but it didn't work. Had so much hope for that part.
The romance between Chae Sang Ra and Seo In Uk had so much potentianl for a nice ending and it was so beautiful, I seriously expected more from that trope. The reason Chae Sang Ra had for the break up was seriously so dumb. I don't understand why such a nice couple was broken up because of this dumb reason.
Now for the nice parts, this drama was a very beginner level drama. The reason I have so many complaints is because I had so much hope for the chemistry and emotions between the two actors.
But I liked this drama cause of the calm flow. This is a good drama for when you don't want to watch screens too much because of school work and don't want to get absorbed in it. It's best if you just want to pass time or watch something while crocheting or something.
Overall, I'll give it a solid 8. Other than that I just wished it could have been more heart warming in a way.

cliched, underwhelming, and accidentally conservative.
it's been long since i have written a review, and this too is going to be more of a rant so bear with me while i try to make sense of my thoughts. i'll try keeping it comprehensive by explaining the three words in the heading.- Cliched: from the get go, i felt this show was formulaic so i had no major expectations from it, i just wanted it to serve as a lighthearted weekly palette cleanser. (and i do love ong seongwu as an actor so theres that reason too). but man how it derailed! we brought back white truck of doom, can you imagine that? someone on twitter pointed out that the writer only has projects from 2010s before this drama and you can genuinely see that in their writing. childhood connection, heart transplant, someone turning evil because of jealousy, men-focused pick me 2FL, ML's family asking FL to break the relationship, the show has all the 2010 cliches and more. it's so repetitive and uncreative, each episode in the second half tests your patience.
- Underwhelming: everyone is saying the chemistry was underutilised, but i differ from them -- i did not feel any chemistry between the leads. and these are good actors, great cast, so i dont understand how they cooked such a nothingburger with them. another thing, "spooky" in love. the expectation the first few episodes set is that this is going to be a story of the leads working together solving crimes for the victims who lost their lives unfairly. oh you believed that? how could you? this is actually a corporate power struggle show. ghosts? what about them? did you even see them after the first half? oh btw, bet you want a singapore ad instead, dont you?
- Accidentally Conservative: now i dont think thats the message they deliberately wanted to give, but thats how some of the factors played in this drama. because of yeori's, well, condition, she cant hold hands with anyone. so that makes sense, but somehow all the other romantic choices here were very conservative too. they dont date, they just decide they like each other and get engaged instead. they dont even kiss other than one accidental (eyeroll) and one actual one -- even though they know that wont make him see the ghosts. they genuinely keep their distance at all times, and have 'conservative' dates, with straightaway marriage in mind. i find that so bonkers. how are you two so in love? you havent even gotten to know each other when you got engaged, you just had a crush! but suddenly the tone is all "you are the love of my life"?????
also very weird decision to turn the adopted child into the villain, like yes we all sensed that from early on, but what exactly is the takeaway here? adoptive children grow up to eat the hand that fed them? like the one character said?
all in all, i signed up for lighthearted, timepass romcom, and i got disappointed still somehow. that's it. that's the rant.

Diamond in the rough,
So if i had to explain how i feel about Blue Lips in 5 words or less I would def call it "a diamond in the rough" you can tell that it didnt have the highest budget and it also has quite a few scenes where you can really tell that there was some AI usage, I am fine for now with it. FOR NOW. But if you aren't the biggest fan of usage of AI then skip this if you really cant see past it. If you can see past it i can highly recommend this show, it has two leads with fantastic chemistry. The absolute best part of this show is the relationship between Teng Mo and Wu Shi Xian. They are two broken souls who slowly heal each other, peeling back hidden wounds to find the courage to love again. I loved that the show avoided annoying misunderstandings, sure theres conflicts but misunderstandings in an endless circle wasnt what we got here. Oh what I actually really loved as well was how they used Teng Mo’s adult shop to inject genuine comedy into the plot.On the downside, the subpar dubbing was a bit distracting at times for me, one of these moments was when Shi Xian was singing on stage. Additionally, the sister's storylines felt incredibly boring, and I constantly fought the urge to skip her scenes. However, I'm glad I stayed patient, as those scenes eventually tied into crucial emotional character moments for Teng Mo later in the series, without spoiling anything.
So, overall, despite the production flaws, the beautiful growth of the main couple makes this a highly rewarding watch. This is most def one im going to rewatch again. If not for the plot in itself, which I will, it will be for the Ice cream scene.

A Master/Servant Relationship that is more than meets the eye
"The Servant Prince" is a very quick and easy binge. It's not what I expected, not in a bad way, but in a different way. The main romance is still there but there's a strong focus on character growth and family dynamic.Given the title and the subject, I thought it would not be such a chaste drama (Ok, probably coz I am a pervert). The romance is actually very sweet and there's more than just Takaaki obeying Naoya's demands. I just wish they add a few more intimate scenes, esp when Takaaki releases his controlled emotions. They keep on repeating the same flashbacks, and I still don't know why Takaaki is so obsessed with Naoya. I need to know how this master/servant relationship starts from the very beginning.
Since this is an adaptation of a manga, the acting could have been overly dramatic and thank goodness, it isn't. A couple characters are cartoonish but overall, the acting is OK. There are a bunch of lovely co-workers.
In the end, I'm glad to have followed Naoya's journey of healing and growth. It's an interesting way to witness his growth through the development of this master/servant relationship into something beautiful and mature.

A Rom-Com With Just the Right Amount of Spooky
I genuinely had such a good time watching Spooky in Love. It’s a really fun rom-com with a little hint of spooky mixed in, and honestly, that combination worked really well for me.The chemistry between the main leads was really good. Even without the drama constantly pushing romance in your face, their interactions felt natural and enjoyable to watch. I liked the way their relationship developed, and they had a really comfortable dynamic that made their scenes fun.
What I especially loved was how easy and stress-free this drama felt to watch. There wasn't that constant feeling of waiting for some huge misunderstanding or unnecessary drama to ruin everything. I could just sit back, enjoy the story, laugh at the characters, and actually have fun watching an episode.
And some scenes were SO funny omg. There were moments where I was genuinely laughing at how ridiculous things got. The fact that even the ghosts were getting scared made it even funnier. The spooky elements didn't make the drama feel heavy—they actually added another layer of comedy to it.
Overall, Spooky in Love was just a really enjoyable rom-com with a fun supernatural twist. It made me laugh, the leads had good chemistry, and most importantly, it was never exhausting to watch. Sometimes you just want a drama that lets you relax and have a good time, and this one definitely gave me that.

good overall watch but some parts could be skipped
I finished watching the show, and it is definitely a good watch if you are looking for a romance drama which will give you butterflies. (And you don't have anything else shortlisted) . There's no breakup here and the leads do clear up their misunderstanding before getting together.Talking about acting the two leads did a good job especially the FL. I found her character very similar to me , in age and point of life so she was very relatable. She is not a all cheerful and bubbly girl but also not too serious. She is fun with her friends, serious when it comes to work, is not afraid to take stand for herself.
The ML is a little bit broody in start but you get it if you know why. He lost his dream job because of an accident has to start from scratch in a new field. on top of that he thinks the FL just played with him. He could have been more direct and cleared things up earlier but it's okay.
The FL 's friends were shitty but realistic. I loved her uncle and aunt and jiang rui.
Maybe instead of Zhuang xu's work-life we could have got more of ML's personal life.
However as many people have already pointed out there are many filler scenes. For eg the first five episodes which show the Fl in college and her misunderstanding with the placeholder SML (he doesn't really give SL vibes) could have been finished in one or two episodes. Song wei long's real entry happens after episode 5 before that he is literally having almost zero screen time.
Also what was the last episode, it was set in 2028 with robots and ai in cars but other parts were not that futuristic, maybe they could have wrapped up with a good family meetup or just at marriage.

China does it again with another BL masterpiece
The story was so good and complete, most of all the beautiful love story and all the preparations Chang Yang made for meeting Qing Lang. But also addressing the toxic shipping culture, the sometimes unreasonable/indecent private expectations of investors(Investor for Han Lu). Companies and actors who use mean tricks and the toxic shipping culture to make money.And on the bright sight pointing out that there are also good companies like the company of sister Lan, Just being a fair boss and also allowing their actors to date.
The production did amazing!!! Stunning visuals and music!
The smooth transitions between different scenes and stunning cinematography, one of my favorites is the stairwell scene in the beginning of episode 12.
Sound effects can often be too much, but in this drama they were all perfectly placed.
I also liked how everything that was happening on the phone showed on the screen.
Just a small detail, but the mains ringtones are the OST of the drama, love that!
It had love, joy, sorrow, every emotion was felt very intens!
All the actors did a great job, i really hated Xu Luxiao and Shi Yuhao. And my favorite characters besides Qing Lang and Chang Yang are Sister Lan, Qing Tian, Grandma and brother Guo, they just left a huge impression on me.
I loved the brother dynamics of Qing Tian and Qing Lang.
Hu Yi Chen is an amazing actor, I loved him in Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island and he was just as amazing in this drama. I hope to see him star in a lot more drama's in the future.
The chemistry of the mains was just out of this world, and they had the best kisses and so much kissing scenes!
The second couple was cute too, their chemistry and kisses were good too.
I already re-watched it and will do so many more times in the future, this became one of my all time favorites.

Worth Watching Purely for Tian Xi Wei
I started watching this series mainly because of Tian Xi Wei. The story begins with young Lin Zhi Xia, who is so exceptionally intelligent that her classmates see her as a weirdo and don’t want to be friends with her. Then she meets Jiang Yu Bai, her first real friend. He’s also a top student, but he’s always stuck in second place, never able to beat Lin Zhi Xia. The child actress who plays young Lin Zhi Xia is incredibly cute and does a great job.The early part of the story is solid. I felt the middle high-school section dragged on a bit too long, but it was still manageable. Later on, though, it started to feel boring. They only get together in the last two episodes. Tian Xi Wei’s performance is excellent — she’s easily the highlight of the series. She portrays a genius who’s brilliant academically but socially awkward really well. Every little thing she does is adorable. Hu Yi Tian’s acting is just average; sometimes it feels a bit stiff. Their chemistry is pretty mediocre — I barely felt any spark between them. Another strong point is the warm friendship among the group of friends. The coming-of-age elements, life lessons, and the supporting cast in the friend group are all really good. Shen Fu Xuan’s storyline about trying to treat patients is nice, and the part where the FL loses for the first time and gains friends is also well done. The downside of the group pairings is that Tang Ting Ting and Duan Qi Yan feel more like close friends who confide in each other and argue rather than a romantic couple. Jin Bai Hui and Lin Ze Qiu’s relationship also doesn’t develop enough to feel like a proper romance. Shen Fu Xuan’s arc is good overall, but at times it feels a bit excessive.
Overall, This series isn’t outstanding, but it’s not bad either. Tian Xi Wei’s performance is the real highlight. The friendship among the group feels warm and comforting, and it’s nice watching them grow up together. Some of the cinematography is beautiful too. However, the plot in the later part becomes quite boring and then rushes to the end.

‘Match Point’ Is My New Sunday Obsession & Perfect Sync Between the Actors, Getting Better
To be completely honest, I didn't plan on watching this series at all in the beginning. When I first saw the trailer, I thought it looked decent and pretty watchable, but it definitely wasn't on my main priority list. Then, on a total whim one day, I found myself with absolutely nothing to watch.Out of pure curiosity, I was browsing around and suddenly realized that the very first episode was already out.I decided to just give it a shot, and wow, I am so glad I did! Believe me, that first episode alone was more than enough to completely captivate me and hook me right in. I fell so hard for this show that I found myself counting down the days, totally down bad while waiting for the next episode to drop.
The production quality over at GMMTV is upgrading tremendously day by day. I am genuinely blown away by how fantastic their work is becoming.
Before this, I used to actively avoid youthful, slow-burn dramas because I always thought they would be super boring and slow. But then a series called When Oranges Fall came along, and I ended up loving it so much. Now, Match Point has completely shattered my expectations all over again and easily passed my personal standards.
I really didn't expect Ping Krittanun Aunchananun to do this amazingly well in a brand-new environment with a totally new acting partner. His acting has improved by leaps and bounds. In his past work, it sometimes felt like he overdid his expressions just a little bit. But here? He is doing an absolutely incredible job! He adapted to this new stage of his career much faster than anyone could have guessed.
On top of that, the storyline itself is so refreshing, creative, and completely logical.A huge round of applause goes to his partner, Teshow Promsakha Na Sakolnakorn, as well!
He only joined the network recently and hasn't been acting here for a very long time. Even so, both of them did a truly phenomenal job. They act so naturally, and their synchronization on screen together is just perfect. They genuinely deserve so much more attention, love, and engagement from the fans.
I’ll be honest—I wasn’t planning to write a review for this show at first. I was really hesitant because someone recently criticized the way I write my reviews. That negative feedback made me try my absolute best to hold back and avoid writing anything this time.
But I just couldn't help myself anymore! I have loved every single episode from the very beginning.
Every single Sunday has become a day of pure excitement for me because of this drama, and I am going to keep happily waiting for it. After watching this latest episode, I loved it so much that I just had to express my feelings. I tried to force myself to stay quiet, but the show is simply too good to ignore.
To be honest, it gives off Bad Buddy vibes, but it's honestly so much better. It's incredibly cute, engaging, and the production quality and storyline are next level. I love that the characters didn't take ages to realize their feelings! I can’t believe it’s already halfway through—only 5 episodes left and I'm not ready for it to end.
This show is much better than Head2Head because it gives me a very special feeling.
I love the "enemies-to-lovers" theme from the very beginning, I thought it would be similar so I kind of skipped but thank god I didn't...
The funny fights between the two fathers are hilarious.
I cannot wait to see how shocked the parents will be when they find out their rival sons are actually dating.
The main characters already understand their feelings and will probably get together after next episode.
Sing Harit Cheewagaroon and Chimon Wachirawit Ruangwiwat look amazing together and have great on screen chemistry. Even a simple hand grab makes them blush like tomatoes, which is incredibly cute...
It is so endearing how obvious Bay's feelings for Sun actually are. He constantly claims to hate Sun, yet he absolutely collapses at the thought of being apart from him. Even though he tries his best to mask his affection, his nervous reactions give him away every single time. His supposed hatred is just a protective shield for how deeply he truly cares. How sweet.
They are getting more adorable with every single episode! Bay finally confessed his feelings—it was so obvious he wasn’t the only one crushing, he just realized it a bit late. I’m incredibly happy for them! Sun was blushing bright red, and you could tell that hearing the confession meant the world to him. I love how caring Bay is, especially bringing Sun breakfast every single day. Honestly, this feels so much better and different than Bad Buddy!
I'm loving ittt. This series had me kicking my feet and screaming. I have to pause it every five minutes just to recover, they get flirty, I get to red everytime..
Episode 5 as well as episode 6 were both the best ones..
From the beach trip, to their beautiful development relationship I love it all.
Bayy kissed Sun and I liked the way Sun didn't push him.
They're are going through they puppy love phrase, from bringing breakfast till secret staring are all extremely adorable.
I love the time they spend blushing and thinking about each other. Secretly getting into Sun's room, damn that's crazy. When will he go to Sun's room safely for ones.
I like the down bad Bay more than anything.. His adorable efforts I really appreciate them all. Those eyes, the he fell harder when he realised his feelings.
The way he calls Sun "My Tofu" Shiaaa I screamed fr. Since when did he became that much cute, it's true that love is crazy..
They really kiss so beautiful ohh godd, they looked so professional..
I love all those warm hugs, pretty kisses, red cheeks and cheesy wordss, I can skep everything but not thiss, I get ready to watch itt, and sometimes it feels like it's ending to fastt.
It's not just himm trying, Sun reflects that like it all too, Sun trys too, not like just some shyy bottom.
He blushes so hard everytime that I could see it from Mars. They like eachother so much that they're willing to fight for itt.
This isn't hard to say that the dad's have bickering relationship butt still cute.
How can I not call this adorable. They way they blushed at eachother everytime.
Thatt muahhh sounded so good, not only Bay is down bad, add me too I'm so obsessed with Match Point.
Ever since the first episode, I’ve been totally hooked. I spend the entire time blushing, smiling, and loudly reacting to everything that happens.
People around me think I’m acting weird, and my mom keeps questioning why I’m grinning so much, but I honestly just love this show too much to hide it.
This is so perfect for real, idk why many people aren't liking itt.
I can say it's so much better than Bad Buddy, and I'm sure about it noww.
They're just so adorable, people who skipped this series, are really missing a gem.
They are handling the rivalry aspect so much better than Bad Buddy did. For me, Bad Buddy losing it's momentum around episode 6 or 7 , but Match Point just keeps getting better with every episode. They are truly mastering the enemies-to-lovers trope, and I'm obsessed with how well it's being executed.

What Happened to the Original Plot?
It felt like the premise was clickbait designed to lure people into watching this drama. The premise gave me Sell Your Haunted House, so I was majorly let down. I have no bad words for Eunbin. She did the best she could with the script she was given. To be honest, I was really disappointed by how melodramatic and unrealistic the second half became, especially for a drama centered around ghosts. This wasn't what I signed up for.Was this review helpful to you?
When you misplace the Spooky
For the most part, this was a very interesting series. Unfortunately, the script lost the main aspect of the storyline. At first, it did a great job interweaving the paranormal storyline into the romantic and family drama storylines. It was also successful in setting up the world and characters which got me invested in it. My main gripe is it lost the paranormal aspect in the middle of the series. There were many episodes that you wouldn’t even know this had one. It was a good thing that the other storylines were interesting which prevented me from dropping it. It’s just that when a series is marketed to involve ghosts, it should have ghosts throughout the series. It was very successful in connecting the multiple storylines, event, and characters together in the end. However, I was able to guess the two main plot twists very early on in the series. This did have a very interesting accidental kiss that I’ve seen in years. The cast was great and did an outstanding job. The CGI, special effects, and cinematography were amazing. Although there was wasted screen time due to many flashback scenes, they did get creative at times showing them.Random Note:
Despite the main weak aspect of the script, I’d watch it again.

Dangerous Family
The Korean title of this film, 가화만死성, means "Blessing of a Harmonious Family," but the Chinese character in the middle (死) means "death." I think the English title Home Sweet Home is quite overused, so they could have chosen something more original.After watching all three stories, I was wondering what connects them. Is it the religious elements that appear in the first two stories, or revenge, which seems to link the second and third? In the end, I realized the unifying theme is family relationships and how terrifying it becomes when someone you trust turns out to be your enemy. Each story has its own distinct unsettling atmosphere, and all of them are quite interesting.
핏줄 (Bloodline) — This is a real horror story. I would have liked to watch a full-length feature film of this. It was dynamic and scary, but everything felt a bit rushed and ended too quickly.
체크메이트 (Checkmate) — This one is strange. It feels more like a social drama and uses chess as a central analogy. The main character is in constant danger of being put into "checkmate" in his life, yet he desperately tries to make moves that will help him escape his fate.
전세, 역전 (Jeonse Reversal) — Out of the three stories, this one feels the most familiar. It reminds me of many other Korean revenge stories where the victim seeks justice in a cruel way.

sometimes what we imagine may not be reality
got to know tht it is the real life story of the director but he never got a chance to meet his love again in life so he made the ending of the movie what he imagined in real life. nd i think tht want makes this movie perfect for me. in recent stories we have been seeing tht how LGBTQA+ has bcoz more common tht everyone has will js accept it as a normal love but ppl in reality know how much they suffer nd this movie portray tht very much similar. i am not saying tht the recent dramas are not good but everyone don't accept this love as much they accept straight love. the thing i love abt this drama most abt is tht how they show tht one of the character is not afraid to protect nd show his love to everyone while other is scared of society, even though he is also in love with the other person. i can never re watch this movie without crying my eyes out but i will sure recommend this movie to everyone who ever hasn't seen this movie, coz this is one of the realistic queer movie u will ever watchWas this review helpful to you?

UNPOPULAR OPINION
Unpopular opinion:The drama was good specially and only for the male lead and female and also for the sides characters,and obviously for the villain Situ Ling , i liked very much his story and evolution of his character, written and performed very well.
The story is simple but made well done ,like i said already the serie it was good not much for the dinamics of the history but for more or less all the characters that are inside of the story , specially for the main leads and the villain , because for my personal opinion them have carried on their shoulders all the drama .
It was a relief that in just 36 episode they made a right but a bit rushed ending of all open dynamics inside of the serie ,of course we have a good ending for the main leads 🫠 .
The photo,the colors and the CGI of the serie was so good and pretty but i dont liked very much the customes, atleast not all i have seen on the main leads maybe...a 50/50? 😬.
So in the end it was good to watch, easy to watch.
For me the right rating for this drama is not a overrated 8.8 or almost a 9 but a honest and not beyond 7.5/8 🫣.

Approved by the School President
StoryClassic high school love trope, nothing new to see. The main couple is cute but nothing more (?), and the other two, are not so well managed: plot holes and very vague storylines.
Tinn and Gun are a slow burn, first love couple. Again, nothing new. They fit and support each other (maybe Tinn’s support is a bit more central, but Gun is understanding when needed and tries to do his best for the relationship as well). Maybe, sometimes, they’re too cheesy for me. The real problem? Their kiss is delayed in a very, very, not enjoyable and silly way. The kiss wasn’t needed in the first place: in my opinion, their love was well-portraited anyway. So, why showing kisses that never happened? People in high school do kiss. It’s nothing strange. Why the delay? It would have been easier (and better) without any kiss or just with one or two faints to laugh and then the real one.
Win and Sound could have been more interesting. The process of them becoming a couple is confusing and full of plot holes. Additionally, I like the arguing-loving dynamic but their performance is less natural than the Fourth and Gemini’s one. I liked their kiss tough. Satang’s character is a bit a question mark for me. They wanted him to be a bit different from the rest of the group but it lasted two minutes: after a bit he becomes exactly like the others and isn’t an arrogant guy anymore. Again, there is no evolution and we know nothing more about him (and I don’t like his hair). There is no point in even mentioning the ‘third couple’ because it doesn’t really exist. This is an example of putting to many things in and not being able to manage them correctly: too many cooks spoil the broth.
I appreciated the absence of usual toxic dynamics: jealousy isn’t really a thing, just a chance to flirt and the parents are good ones (they understand, defend their children, want them to be happy and try, as parents, to be better looking at themselves and their actions first). Furthermore, the friendship of the band feels real, especially during that argument at the temple. I mean, friends do disagree and get mad but, if you want it to last, you can always come back, apologise and do things differently. Tinn and Tiw have a solid and awesome bond, as well. Lastly, there is no ‘ep 11’ here.
I particularly liked Mark (Tiw) and Tao’s (Tinn’s mother) characters, best support roles from my perspective. Tiw is a loyal and exceptional friend and Photjanee is a good mother. Tinn’s father and Gun’s mom aren’t less important.
Acting
Before this, I watched Ticket to Heaven and I liked very much the Fourth and Gemini’s abilities. Here as well, I find their performance genuine and spontaneous, their portraits are soft and gentile. I think their looks and small, hidden physical contacts are touching. They are able to fit their role wonderfully (maybe I don’t enjoy their characters very much but that’s a different topic). They are good actors. Also, Fourth is a great singer and plays the guitar. Moreover, I watched a bit of the BTS and I found out Gemini is kind of an all-rounder (he sang and played the piano in Ticket to Heaven). That’s interesting, I think I’m going to follow them more closely.
Everyone in the band worked hard to be able to play an instrument and the performances good overall. I particularly liked Mark’s acting. Between all the support characters he’s the one who caught my attention the most. Mentioning Lookwa as well.
Music and Production
I believe the sound is well managed. The songs aren’t bad, but going on with the show they become more and more cheesy, too much. My favourite is: You’ve Got my Back. Fourth is a good frontman, in my opinion. Also, the whole ‘Chinzilla’ thing is also fun: the name, the greeting and the fake animal-God. So, the band’s image and performances are meticulously handled. Honourable mention the performance of ‘Smile Please’ to help Yo (he was great); Gemini’s dancing and Winny’s rap are so cool.
I like the setting. Both at school (music club in particular and pool), outside (sea and temple/mountain) and Gim’s milk bar with the music emplacement for Gun. Everything fits the image I think the production wants to pass down.
Rewatch Value
I don't think I'm going to watch this series for a second time, just maybe listen to some songs.
