Very unpredictable plot

Everything was going so well until the end T-T.
The plot was amazing, the chemistry and the whole story between the leads was progressing so well, so enjoyable, so many mysteries and amazing unpredictableplot twists but the ending. That is definitely not how DID works T-T, you can't just will it away, that was giving major saviour complex and every typical fl character. The misrepresentation of mental heath disorders was really really disappointing for me but I'm just gonna erase that ending from my mind. Because without that, everything else was acc really fun to watch.

Shook me to my bones and made me happy af

Entire plot was just insane, every episode had me on the edge of my seat. It was all so unpredictable, it just kept me guessing all the way thoughout the drama. Th chemistry between the leads was just perfect. Everytime I was gonna cry, I'd get a glimpse of these two and literally be giddy. Anyway this drama was absolutely worth the watch.
Warning it is very gory tho, so you better not be squeamish. Overall, amazing drama, one of the best plots Ive watched all year.
The ending was kinda disappointing but like I don't know how else they could've ended that so it was okay.
I PROMISE THE DRAMA WILL NOT DISSAPPOINT THO SO DEFINITELY GO WATCH ITTTTT

The FL and her mannerisms ruined it

This will be one of my short reviews. I realize that it's a waste of time to try to give all the reasons I didn't like something, so I prefer to focus on what I like and write long reviews for the dramas I loved. So from now on, anything that gets less than a 7 gets a short review.

I love the ML. I adore him to ne honest. I watched Moonlight and he was a delight. So I can't fathom how could he be that bland and bad here. What the heck did it happen? His character is nonsensical and he doesn't pull of the aloof behavior here when he did a fantastic job in Moonlight. I don't know what to say, I'm jut so disappointed since I thought the premise was fun and it could play right in his strengths.

The FL. I've seen a few of her dramas and oh my god, she gets more terrible with each one. Yes, it doesn't make sense since I didn't watch them in chronological order but I'm unlucky that way. I watched one in which she was okay and since then it's a descent in abyss. She tries so hard to be cute that is painful, and I love cute. Esther is the level of cuteness I adore and you can't make cuter than her. So yes, the script was bad, but this FL made it a thousand times worse.

No chemistry between the leads. He was great with Esther Yu in moonlight so why there was no chemistry at all here? A cast made in hell that ruined a fluffy rom com.

I won't waste time to say anything about the rest. It was bad. Period.

The best drama out there for watching on a weekday night

Yk that feeling when you wanna watch a really good drama but you have work/school so you can't commit? yea this is the solution I promise you. There's like a different story every episode that ends in that episode but there's also a bigger story unfolding in the background it's just so perfect. Like every person involved in this project has just literally made a masterpiece fs. Also it like talks a lot about the hardships of teachers and students that we don't address in society, so spreads awareness too! Could there be a more perfect drama?
Also side note, if you are like me and mostly only watch dramas with romance, this drama doesn't majorly centred around it but I promise you what you get will be so gut wrenchingly good, you will not regret it

I need more..

My overall thought of this series was good! It left me wanting more of this series ;( The series have a bunch of thriller and slight horror elements that left me wanting to continue watching it till the end. I’ll miss Ling Ling and Lan Zhu sm! They are a very memorable character and they definitely have chemistry together!

I know that theres a lot of Virtual Reality sort of dramas but this series really touch on the emotions and psychological aspect of people. I know some dramas may have something similar but i think the execution for this drama was really well made!

I hope that the actors will have more works together whether its in another bromance drama or not I’ll watch it ?!!

Foolish Superheroes to the Rescue

Three notoriously infamous residents of Haesong, Sappy Sap Kang Robin, Royal Nightmare Son Gyeongu and Lady Trainwreck Eun Chaeni found themselves afflicted with strange abilities after getting embroiled in Lady Trainwreck’s plan of fake kidnapping to extort her grandma for some travel money that turned into her accidental murder. Discovered by municipal officer Lee Eunjeong as Kang Robin and Son Gyeongu were trying to dispose of Eun Chaeni’s body in a landfill, they entered into a scuffle in a puddle of dark liquid that eventually brought a couple of police officers to their location. Just as the officers were taking statement from Lee, Eun Chaeni suddenly appeared very much alive and well. They parted ways but were drawn together again when they found themselves having superpowers. As the three were trying to figure out their powers, they decided to get under Lee’s wings, calling him master and asking him to teach them how to use their powers, when they found out that Lee has telekinesis ability. Little to their knowledge, Lee has a different priority that involves a cultish church that has been attracting considerable followers with their December 31 1999 apocalypse preach.

It took me quite several days to finish this cuz I was not able to keep up with the utter foolishness of the haphazard trio Kang, Son and Eun. Although each characters are unique and have quite distinct personalities of their own, i mean they’re very simple minded, monotonous, and somewhat innocent especially Kang and Eun, but they’re also extremely irritating as they keep tripping on their own feet as they try to figure out and control their abilities. Although I liked the innocently comical Kang Robin, I can’t say the same for the selfish Son and the shameless Eun. Their characters are extremely irritating and constantly get on my nerves, so much that I had to pause in between episodes to take a breather as I didnt want to drop the series. Although I did not quite like the two main characters Son and Eun, i had to commend the actors for making the characters look very much alive and convincing. Especially for Son’s actor Choi Daehoon whom I just saw in Agent Kim Reactivated, a total contrast from a badass no-nonsense ex agent to notoriously naggy, selfish and hopeless father and husband.

As for the villains, i had high hopes for Dr Ha cuz he looked quite unhingedly crazy, but honestly his unceremonious exit was too abrupt and somewhat anticlimax for me. As for the rest of his “children”, I failed to feel sorry for them despite their brains being totally haywired after the childhood trauma they endured, which made them ultimately fall victim to the classic Stockholm Syndrome. Worst part is none of them got to get proper closure, they became merely pawns right till the end.

I feel that the plot is totally messy and the characters’ foolishness too irritating for me to really enjoy the show. Hence why it took me 3 days to finish. Although I liked Park Eunbin, and very satisfied with the rest of the actors’ performance, I don’t really want to watch season 2 if they ever come up with it (i guess they might since the main villain survived albeit very much defeated). The characters are just too annoying for me to keep watching their antics all over again.

I really liked that little scene where FL teleported with ML and the gust of wind she left behind startled the cat though. That one was cute.

Funny at first but slowly become annoying

I watch 4 episodes of this drama so far. first two episode was good. Funny very entertaining. But the more i saw the ML more i dislike him. He is completely loser annoying liar and too sensitive with his pride. I like the FL she is very brave with her choice. Getting pregnant before married is a big thing especially if you 're on countryside. But she chooses to come back to her hometown despite all the confrontation between two families and all the gossip among the villagers. I doubt that the ML really love the FL. And he is lying about his job; he goes backward on his own word when they began dating. He lies about many things. He didn't have the courage to fight for the FL or his child. I probably going to drop this series

Just didn't care for any of the stories

This will be one of my short reviews. I realize that it's a waste of time to try to give all the reasons I didn't like something, so I prefer to focus on what I like and write long reviews for the dramas I loved. So from now on anything that gets less than a 7 gets a short review.

I love The FL. She's great in so many dramas and I liked her as well. I just didn't care about the way the director saw her. Like he took out her personality and replaced her with a robot.

The ML was a mediocre actor at best and didn't get his character at all. No idea if he has better dramas and I don't care to look them up.

Too many stories and after a while you stop caring.

Not real passion about football has been shown and as someone who watched football since I was 10, I don't get it. If you have a football based script, show some passion at least.

Lack of chemistry. I think eve stones would have more chemistry and I blame the ML and the director.

Verdict: A failure for so many reasons and it's a shame since the plot and the FL would have me excited.

I think this is a rom-com with chaos as its mix

I enjoyed this to a certain point, let me take you through what the plot following a prosecutor who almost loses her life in the hand of a powerful gangster she has been investigating, at the end of her life she is saved by man, unknowing to her he was a boy she saw when she was much younger in her school days life and also met him in the latter part of her life, when she had grown older. He also had another identity as the second in command in the gangster group that almost took her life.
He gets her into hiding in the countryside as he retires from being a gangster as his reward for completing his last task (ending the girl's life). I believe this is where we follow them through the story as she finds her lost memories, gets a boyfriend, makes true friends, gets jealous, and gets protected.

Going into what I love about this story.

I really loved the relationships that were formed between Eun Sae and the characters in the countryside. At first Eun Sae was at odds with many people in the village: Tae Ha's grandma, the shaman (Cho Maeng Suk), Kim Pil Seung's mother(Paeng Hui Ja), and many others, but over time, amidst the conflicts and the quarrels, strong relationships grew, and true friendships were found. There was something heartfelt in how these people who found nothing but quarrels with Eun Sae were willing to root for her. The relationship between Tae Ha and his grandma was touching; everything he did and did not do was for his grandma. Likewise, his interactions with others in the community, they loved him and were willing to understand. Even the moment he went back into being a gangster while being forced, they just hugged him and comforted him; that was the peak of the true relationship.

At the end, when the community gathered to beat the Bad Guys, that clearly shows what their bonds were like. The fights were so hilarious.

I find people dislike the actress's acting and her character; I am not one of them. I felt the actress really put effort into her character and portraying it convincingly am really not sure of an actress that could fit the role better than her. Her character (Eun Sae), even while she woke up in a hospital bed at the start of the drama and behaved like that, wanting a handsome man as her boyfriend, I believe that was what she wanted, as in he life as a prosecutor or even before she became a prosecutor. Eun Sae lost her memories, but she carried the characteristics from her inner self, which she never really revealed.

Tae Ha was one of the greenest ML if you ask me, he loved one girl his life, he protected her at the risk of getting caught and killed, he became her boyfriend for her own safety and tried not to past the boundary, even while she fell in love with him later in the story he waited for her to recover he memory for her to make the choice she won't regret later on.
Tae Ha has been through so much since young, but it all stems from the undying love he has for his grandma and the unwillingness to let her die. I found his love for his grandma so heartfelt. She was his Achilles heel, but he doesn't care.

WHAT I FOUND NOT GOOD.

THE SCRIPT WAS LACKING IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

The second couple wasn't fleshed out at all. Why did Su Ji push Gi Jun away? I did not get any of that: no flashbacks or backstories, then at the end Gi Jun had a realization of what the girl meant to him, and Su Ji accepted him, and they planned marriage. IT HAD NO REAL IMPACT ON ME AS THE VIEWER.

I would have loved to see Jung Sun Won and Hyang Seon dating or building feelings for each other; something was already happening before the show ended, I felt it would be more interesting.

Tae Ha's behavior as a 14-year-old trained gangster puts me off at certain times

Final Thoughts.

I think this is the kind of drama I would watch for the fun and for some hilarious moments between people in the villages and how they form a bond from everyday quarrels to genuine care.

The script made its character overly exaggerate at some moments and it should have ended sooner than the 12 episodes given. Baek Saengil reveal of being Tea Ha Father was out of place and seem to came into the story for Baek Saengil to kill himself, as the Tae Ha never knew at the end of the show. I guess it would have given him more peace at mind not knowing his father.

Done and Dusted 7.5

This series gave me post series depression. I NEED a season 2.

GUYS! I didn't know chinese bl dramas got a game like that. Like this series is so well written, I love the characters, I just like how it all come together. I will say that I will need maybe a hundred more of this series and there won't be any other opinions.

I'm going to break down what I like about this series. The mc and male lead definitely have chemistry with each other. I can assure you that if you are planning to watch this, you should go for it and watch it. There are comedic moments where I laughed, cried, got angry all those small emotions I can feel and express it from each episodes. And can I just say that the actors look amazing? Like HELLO? Especially Xia Liu Li's family they are all handsome and beautiful! Don't get me started on He Chu San too, I would go to the frontlines to protect him.

Anyways, moving on the plot is quite interesting because I don't think I have watched something like this. There are some Bls that has action, gang fighting type of series but it was never executed like this which is refreshing. Each scene, each voice lines carries weight and they are done very well. Especially the angsty parts, they got me rolling down on the floor with tears and depression.

The actings were also on point, there were no filler episodes nor boring ones. I feel like every episode connects with each other. I wanted to give kudos to the actors, editors, people behind the scenes for making this come to life because I know it must hard to do so but still being able to deliver this masterpiece. Also thank you for reading my review!
