Terrible!!!

I had a terrible experience with this drama. At first, it seemed good and enjoyable, but then it got worse and worse. The plot was a mess, and the characters were terrible. The ending was trash. Whoever the writer is, they shouldn't get another drama. The plot was messed up from the very beginning. The acting from the male lead was horrendous at times, bordering on amateurish. The second male lead is a weird character. He loves his brother to death, wants his brother dead, loves the female lead, lies and betrays the female lead, and then acts like nothing happened the next day. Lastly, by the end, I didn't care who ended up with whom. I was just happy it was finally over. This was a mess. Watch at your own peril.

Too much question for this season

If i want to compare season and this, i vote season was better. This season more like about Jang Tae Sang and Yoon Chae Ok life and how they survive for 79 years.
Now for the serious part.
Everything was good from acting, OST, production and VFX, but the story it self is ruined all my expectation from season 1 and also some character did not introduced well.
1. Who is Kwon Yong Gil ? He said that he was grandchild of Kwon Jun Taek, but that's it ? No explanation at all.
2. What is Jeonseung Biotech really is?
3. What is Kuroko ? Is that like a man-made soldier that have a Najin inside it or what ???
4. Who is that Captain Kuroko ? How can he get the Najin ?
5. How can Jeonseung Biotechbreed the Najin ?
This is just a glimpse of question in my head for this season, but once again, everything was good but they rush it as 7 episode and left some explanation.
Now i was expecting for season 3 because Najin is in a bottle of water ? and maybe Seung Jo will make an army with that, or just make a riot for society imo.

this is for slice of life lovers

#LoveNextDoor again and again is not your overly perfect typical Kdrama Series ok! It tackles reality ! The struggles we can possibly encounter in life and it teaches us how to overcome it, Nobody is perfect but I really appreciate how the writer works to somehow write a story +

jungsomin and jung haein did amazing work seriously one of the best on and off screen kdrama couple?? that ep12 last scene i seriously repeating that specific scene 10 to 15 time ?. Their acting r top notch, i cried lough in every episode &didnt even skip a scene, coz each their lines is surprising so closed in real life, also this type of drama not as good if all th actor/actress were someone else, plus soekryu line abt surviving cancer just hit th core ? ? i lost my mother cause of cancer can relate life hit hard sometimes we need to accept reality and keep moving forward ?
thats why its my type of drama

love whole cast specially 2nd lead r so cute, parents frndship bonds r also cute ml parents kind of give of qot ml vibe? drama is good i will recommend everyone to watch it
ik many here would cry about storyline don't forgot its a romcom its good in its own way ?

The Story, Cast and the Acting...A series must to watch.!!

I watched this drama in the year 2020. The year of lockdown and I was new in the world of dramas. At first, I hesitated to go through this drama because of the many episodes it has. But I was tired of rom-coms and wanted to try some genres. And I found this epic series on Wetv. I was quite not clear about half of the story at first. But when I watched the specific episodes again and again I got a clear picture after a year about it.
The cast is freaking awesome. The costumes also depict their characters very well. Bromance is overflowing but it is up to mark. No showoff. A complicated yet interesting story. Once you understand the story, the linkages between the characters will be clear.
The story is epic. lots of characters. And the actors are freaking handsome and hot.
BGM and OSTs awwwwwww, I am in love with it.
It's been 4 years and still, I am not over it.
A story you will fall in love with. Give it a try who is in search of a drama with a blend of thriller, action, drama, adventure, bromance and many more.!

One of the best watch of the year: dark, gripping in the best way

I love a lot this truly thrilling dark movie. It was torturous and violent, gripping and fascinating in the best way. The pyschological aspects coupled with impressive action scenes really got to me. I was on my toes during the full duration of the movie. It does not feel outdated at all (minus maybe the special effect and again it was still quite good to express what needed to be expressed).

The cast is amazing. I love Yeo Jin Goo (since he was acting as a kid in Iljimae) and I have seen quite a bit of his work. He was probably about 15 years old maximum when he filmed this movie and his performance was astounishing. There are many very well-known faces in this movie, actors that I really enjoy and who also delivers strong performances. It felt like a real feast to see actors that I knew from other works: Yeo Jin Goo but also amazing Jo Jin Woong, incredible Kim Sung Kyun, great Yoo Yeon Seok, as well as to discover very talented (and new to me) people: Kim Yoon Seok, Park Hae Joon,...and more.

I truly recommend this to people that are looking for a dark action movie that will take you on a thrilling journey with its main character. The psychological elements behind the characters actions and bonds between them are disturbingly captivating and pretty memorable. It is very violent and dark, so if you have any triggers, of course proceed with caution.

Not your typical Star-crossed lovers

This is a Melodrama, so the story is not your typical fluffy Japanese/Korean drama.
The first two episodes started off with a fast pace. The story is very straightforward and no slow-burn trope here, yet the story is mixed with angst.

A very romantic couple end up getting separated after harsh circumstances only to find each other again years later because guess what? FATE shows up. What will happen is still early to predict, but so far, the leads have an awesome chemistry.

In just two episodes there are so many romantic scenes and the leads show a very realistic couple, yet there is a side to it.
Embrace yourselves for the story to unravel.

The OST is amazing! the background music pieces are just marvelous. The cinematography and colors they used truly match the mood and also show the emotions of the leads.

Overall, if you're in for a romantic mature angsty melodrama, this is for you! don't miss it!

You heard my silence when I was busy hearing your heartbeat.

 This drama has a simple storyline, but the lead's endearing friendship and heartfelt love exceed expectations. It all started with Taichi when he was being a note-taker for a hearing impaired student, Kohei, in return for his delicious bento! 
 
I loved how delicately they handled the characters with hearing problems and how it affected their daily lives. Taichi helping Kohei at first was just a favour in return for his bento, but gradually it turned into affection and care. He moulded his life for Kohei so that he feels comfortable, safe, and appreciated by people. On the other hand, our quiet and brave Kohei couldn't help but fall in love with our sunshine retriever Taichi when he knew it was one-sided, yet he bravely expressed his feelings but never let that love ruin their friendship. 
 
Importantly, a character that I can't miss, i.e., Maya. At first, Maya seems annoying, and sure, we disapproved of her, but if you look at her from different perspectives, she is our deepest concern, intrusive thoughts, and fears we are afraid to face. The raw scornful attitude we hide to be accepted in society can be seen in the characters of Maya. She's immature but young and bold; she never fears to tell her honest opinions. She was open to more bullying, pitiful looks, and neglected peers. Her mantra or coping mechanism is to judge people before they judge you so that you don't have to get hurt later. I can try to understand where she's coming from. A person who's born with hearing difficulties is somewhat different from a person who lost hearing later. So honestly, she was definitely a bit annoying sometimes, but I really don't hate her character. Sometimes I feel she looks like my alter ego.
 
I enjoyed this throughout, but the last episode seemed rushed and ended abruptly. I wanted to see more of their lives when they're together; maybe a glimpse of their livelihood would have been nice. Without physical intimacy with the bare minimum skin ship, they established one of the greatest BLs of all time by just relying on their chemistry! 
 
Irrespective of the flaws, I adore these awkward kids! 

(+0.5 for Kohei's dimples and +0.5 for Taichi's puppy eyes)

A series full of sweetness.

The Story
The story is quite simple, about love and loneliness, with food bridging the gap between them.
The screenwriter did a wonderful job teasing the viewers, constantly keeping them on edge with a taste for more, and this even happens in the final episode.
The manga was more superficial, where the character of the police officer was rather boring and far from the character in the series, who is more flirtatious, positive, and charming.
There’s significant character development here, especially for the main character. However, it’s clear that the series could have been even more perfect if it provided more perspective on what the police officer's character was going through, or focused more on loneliness during the tougher moments.

The Actors
The acting is perfect, it couldn’t be more perfect. The actors are very talented.
They have great chemistry and are a perfect match..
The lead actor has been acting since childhood, and it's clear how skilled he is. He brought the character from the manga to life in such a way that it makes you want to be his friend and fall in love with his sweetness.
The actor who plays the police officer is also highly skilled and has a charm that is rarely seen in other actors.
There’s an elegance about him that truly captivates, both in his movements and speech.
At times, he feels like an older woman with life wisdom, but this worked perfectly

The Music
I specifically didn’t like the songs in the series. One of the songs is from the lead actor’s band, and of course, he has an amazing voice, and the song is very catchy.
Both songs are quite catchy and in a modern pop style, but personally, I found them a bit banal.
In my opinion, the Japanese pay great attention to choosing music that fits the series, and while it was indeed fitting, I believe they could have put in more effort, as Japanese music is usually very creative.

Rewatching
I’ve watched this series several times since it started, and I’ll probably watch it many more times in the future because it’s very sweet, relaxing, and fun. It’s one of those timeless series you never forget and always come back to because there’s never a dull moment, and the actors are perfect. Honestly, it’s such a charming series that it’s impossible not to love—unless you’re an annoying snob.

Best Chinese BL (obviously censored) I've ever seen !

What a ride! This kind of mystery/detective games are just my type, I enjoyed this Series so much. They all had their happy ending. The game has been purified, those who were dead in the game are now happily living in the real life & Jiushi is finally going to the love of his life & the virtual world, where he belongs ! The plot was well executed & enjoyable. The leads are perfect for this series & their bROMANCE is chef's kiss; give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. And I'll love to see (actually manifesting) Xia Zhi Guang & Huang Jun Jie in another BL/bROMANCE series in future :) [I actually found 3-4 little plotholes (basically unanswered questions) but that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch this] Sako & box demon's cases are my favourite.
