Anyways, in case you found this 2 episodes, it is continuing of the series The Mouse from 2021. But The Mouse is the main series from the 3rd pov and this 2 episodes are only from the killer´s pov. So If you wanna watch this one first, you will miss out loking for a killer from the main series and you will get also a lot of spoilers (for no reason because it would be a shame to miss out the main story).
Besides, these 2 episodes were really intersting, even though I was so pissed of seeing it from the killer´s pov, because i hated the way he was thinkig. It was really crazy. But after all, I really enjoyed it. It was good to see his pov and what was really going on in his head (it was really really crazy, it scares me, that someone can really thinks this way, ugh).
So If you had seen the main series, you might like this one as well. It is binge watch for maybe 2 hours and it is worthy only If you wanna see it from another perspective or you cannot move on from the main series, or If you are just curios or you want to see the continue.

The only turning off you will find is the mess of pathetic FL creates in her love life
The female lead, Ta Mi is pathetic. This was the only thing BAD of this drama. her "love"' behavior. At work she was good but, my opiniona she deserved to be single. or go to a therapist.Good grief, Koreans don't seem to have even 30% emotional intelligence, even when they're over 30 or 35, 38 or 40. They dont know how to kiss at 35, in any drama, they dont know to be in a relationship not evan in a drama.
She has no clue how a relationship works; she treats the male lead so badly. If I were in his shoes, I would have given up on such a pathetic woman. She’s rejected him a thousand times and she is even narcissistic at times.
He treats her so well, communicates clearly—he’s a total "green flag"—yet she still rejects him. How on earth can someone be so stupid and treat a good man like that—a man who loves and values you, communicates clearly about what he wants, and has a purpose in life?
It’s simply pathetic. These relationships in kdramas are so toxic... Do these Koreans have any idea what a relationship is like at 30, 35, or 40, or do they just stay stupid and pathetic until they're 70?
He is so emotional intelligent at his age, 27. And she at 38 has to remain with her work and that's it. I cant stand this victim mentality.
This is the pattern of a masculine toxic woman. She has 0 femininity. I was so sad for him.
There’s a saying: real life beats the movies. I don’t even want to imagine what intimate relationships are like in Korea. This ilussuon of childhood relationship is just for teenagers for mature people is gross.
All the rest of the drama is good, actors, script the second couple is so sweet. I think if it weren't for FL Tami romantic part it would have been great.

Healing and comfort drama in fast paced metropolitan area
This is drama is one of my favorite. I really like how the story tell explain the reality of people who love themselves so much and try to adapt a lovey-dovey era. The love is not too much because the FL really use her brain and always think to make everything logic. Not too much but warm enough to give and take love. I think this drama should get more notice and hype 💝i also really love how the FL and ML creat really good chemistry from hate➡️friends➡️best friends ➡️lover, they build the vibe really logic, understandable and take my attention 🔥it is really good drama.Was this review helpful to you?

Una comedia de fantasía, un poco rara y simple
La historia va sobre un grupo de jóvenes viviendo el desempleo como unas vacaciones de la vida en una casa vacacional que les heredó la abuela de la protagonista y su hermano. Allí conocen a Mr. Nishigami quien es un K-Shinigami que proviene de la regional de Corea. Los episodios presentados de 3 en 3 cortitos son entretenidos y ligeros, con un humor muy japonés, difícil de entender pero que de tanto en tanto me hizo reír. El poco romance del jdrama se siente incómodo y poco creíble, por la forma como está escrito y dirigido. Sin embargo es cute ver a Mr Shinigami en su uniforme oficial cuando es llamado al Inframundo. De las historias tratadas, el desarrollo de personaje más interesante es el del hermano de la protagonista.Was this review helpful to you?
Too much different with donghua
It’s male-centric, but its target audience is mostly women, so there’s not much difference from idol romance drama. As it gets closer to the ending, it becomes overly emotional and tearjerking, which really doesn’t fit the cultivation genre, imo.It's annoying, there are so many shippers of the support male characters, as if it’s deliberately made as fan service for BL fans. It’s way too vulgar and overdone for me.
Even in the donghua itself, there’s absolutely no bromance and less romance between them, but this dracin mixes everything together. So, I don’t think it’s very suitable for people who prefer cultivation stories adapted from donghua.
If you like Immortal Ascension or Blood of Youth, don't watch this.

People didn't lie when they told it's wattpad coded
When people 1st kept commenting it was wattpad coded i didn't agree with it till mid series. The plot is pretty cliché and kinda predictable but the execution is just soo good. I really enjoyed the show.But yeah they did rush things a bit in the end. The reason I am giving it a 9 is cz of the predictability and also I feel some parts weren't covered. Like Lil Jane's past cz i did see a hint that he had a problem with his ex and was pessimistic about relationship but we never got a why? Also we never got to know why big jane is the way he is.
As for me I am on team lil jane the whole series. He is a yellow flag but I feel his actions made a lot more sense in the series than Big Jane's. As for Big Jane i don't think he is a red flag more like an yellow flag. Both just don't communicate the entire series which leads to all this mess.
Anyways they're trying to cover a lot of things in the final ep lets see how that goes

Other than that the kisses are actually really good for a kbl but again kisses should've been enough for a bl about high schoolers I know this generation isnt innocent anymore but like still , sorry if I hurt anyone by writing this reviewWas this review helpful to you?

✨A Little Messy, A Lot Addictive✨
Okay, let me just start by saying: this drama is ridiculously easy to get lost in. ❤️🔥✅The atmosphere is sultry, seductive and just... delicious.
I LOVE the colour palette, the visuals, the styling and the overall aesthetic. The OST fits the mood beautifully too, and the cast is dressed ridiculously well. Apparently Jing Boran even contributed pieces from his own wardrobe for Luke, which honestly explains a lot. 😭🔥
✅The story itself isn't exactly reinventing the wheel.
It's a boss/employee friends-with-benefits situation where both agreed to keep things casual while very obviously feeling anything but.
Nothing groundbreaking, but I honestly don't need it to be. I'm here for the adult romance, the tension, the atmosphere and these two beautiful idiots trying to figure themselves out.
✅And THE CHEMISTRY. 🔥
The tension, the skinship, the make-out sessions... you can absolutely tell they hired an intimacy coach, and whoever made that decision deserves a raise. 😂 These two have chemistry powerful enough to solve a small city's energy crisis.
✅The casting is also PERFECTION.
I genuinely cannot imagine anyone else playing these characters.
⭐Sun Qian is absolutely wonderful as the FL, and I relate to so many of her dilemmas that I've basically adopted her at this point. Which is probably why I regularly want to grab Luke by the shoulders and ask him what the hell he thinks he's doing.
She embodies that fresh, sunny energy of someone standing at the beginning of a new chapter: a new career, new experiences and the terrifying process of figuring out who she is as an adult.
She's ambitious but still somewhat naïve, emotionally open yet insecure.
The contrast between her and Luke couldn't be clearer. And honestly, you can tell almost immediately that this woman is absolutely not built for a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Unfortunately for her, she develops feelings for her smoking-hot boss and suddenly finds herself emotionally invested in a relationship that was supposed to come with no emotional investment whatsoever.
A classic mistake.
Relatable, unfortunately. 😂
⭐And then there's Jing Boran.
Sir.
There is something ridiculously magnetic about this man. I genuinely cannot explain why I find him THIS attractive. 😭 The face, the voice, the height, the effortless masculine charm, the way he carries himself... this man walks into a scene and suddenly I'm no longer capable of forming an objective thought.
Bro has me swooning one minute, wanting to punch him the next, and then he pulls out those stupid puppy eyes and suddenly I'm like:
Okay... fine. You're forgiven. 😭💀
He is basically the epitome of “I'm not looking for commitment,” combined with a spectacularly unfortunate potty mouth. Seriously, if not for some of the things that come out of this man's mouth, he'd be dangerously close to the perfect guy.
But what makes him particularly fun to watch is that he actually folds pretty fast.
He's caring towards the FL surprisingly early. He pays attention to her. He shows up for her. He treats her incredibly well in certain moments.
And then five minutes later he says something emotionally constipated and insulting.
So naturally, we - the audience - are left aggressively ping-ponging between:
“Awwww, he's actually so sweet 🥹”
and
“SOMEONE TAKE THIS MAN'S SPEAKING PRIVILEGES AWAY FROM HIM.”
✅What I appreciate most, though, is that neither character is perfect. They both have insecurities, baggage and terrible communication skills. The FL makes assumptions and gives mixed signals; Luke can be hurtful and emotionally unavailable. I don't need flawless characters—I just need their growth to actually mean something.
✅I also really love the supporting cast, especially Lumi, who is an absolute gangster queen bestie and may actually be my MVP. 😂 Luke's friends are great too and, thankfully, actually give him decent advice whenever he inevitably fucks something up.
And now for the less flattering part...
⌛The biggest issue for me so far is the pacing/editing.
Since the drama was apparently cut down by eight episodes, the pacing can feel noticeably rushed, and some of the time jumps are genuinely confusing. There are also moments where the editing/continuity feels a little off. I've noticed a few scenes where I could hear the dialogue but the shot didn't quite match the speaking—although that could potentially be an intentional editing choice or ADR/ad-lib situation, so I'm not sure I'd call it a definite flaw.
Aside from that, I really enjoy the production itself. The visuals, OST, styling and overall atmosphere are doing their magic.
💫 One final thought
This drama is also a good reminder of how much presentation affects the way we perceive behaviour. Add insane chemistry, gorgeous cinematography, emotional music and a charismatic performance, and suddenly critical thinking becomes compromised. 😂
That's the fun of fiction, though—we can enjoy complicated characters we'd probably tell our best friend to run from in real life. Understanding them, however, doesn't necessarily mean excusing them.
Because while I might happily watch Luke make questionable decisions on my screen, in real life I'd be running in the opposite direction. Hot or not. 😭
Overall
Beautiful, sexy, atmospheric, messy and ridiculously entertaining. The chemistry, visuals, OST, styling and character dynamics keep me completely invested.
I'm only at Episode 16/24, so these are very much mid-watch impressions rather than a final verdict. I know we're heading into some massive angst and I'm stressed...
...but unfortunately, I'm seated. 😂🔥

On the right path
I always liked Max and Nat, even with their cringy series. They have a genuine chemistry that even shines through the worst scripts. They seem to have fun with every series they participate in thus far. My favorites so far have been the Cutie Pie and World series, but this is more relaxing, comedic, and cute. Some series can be intense, but so far it's been less intense than others. I would, however, after seeing them in two more light and chill series, look forward to seeing them in more serious lead roles later next year. I love the setting by the water, love the interactions, and the additional characters, especially the DMD guys participating. There are some life lessons to be learned, and their chemistry is, above all, what is center stage.Was this review helpful to you?
If you enjoy atmospheric, psychological music dramas
Four Hands, Two Sonatas (2026) is Netflix’s brooding, high-stakes entry into the classical music K-drama space. Marking Song Kang’s highly anticipated return following his military service, the 12-episode series trades lighthearted high school romance for an intense, noir-tinged exploration of artistic obsession, perfectionism, and class divide.Key Strengths
* The Mozart vs. Salieri Dynamic: The central push-and-pull between Kang Bi-o (Song Kang) and Choi Jeong-yo (Lee Jun-young) forms the show’s emotional core. Bi-o is the pristine, technique-obsessed prodigy suffocating under family pressure, while Jeong-yo is the raw, intuitive talent playing purely from survival and passion. Their intense screen presence—and subtle, ambiguous dynamic—drives the narrative forward.
* High-Stakes Atmosphere: The series immediately hook-lands viewers with a dark, high-tension flash-forward opening, setting a tone far heavier than typical teen dramas.
* Standout Performances & Soundscape: Beyond the main duo, Jang Gyu-ri shines as Hong Jae-in, providing a necessary, grounded contrast as a pragmatic violist. The soundtrack and classical piano performances are executed with visceral, narrative weight.
Weaknesses
* Overstuffed Drama Tropes: At times, the script leans heavily on traditional K-drama clichés—authoritarian grandparents, hidden parentage, loan sharks, and childhood connections—which occasionally dilute the focus on the music itself.
* Timeline Mechanics: The early non-linear storytelling and sudden shifts between dark flash-forwards and present-day academy life can temporarily disrupt the pacing.
Verdict
| Aspect | Rating / Assessment |
|---|---|
| Acting & Cast | 8.5/10 — Strong performances, particularly from Song Kang and Lee Jun-young. |
| Cinematography & Audio | 9.0/10 — Striking visual direction with superb classical scoring. |
| Story & Pacing | 7.5/10 — Gripping premise, though relies on familiar melodrama. |
| Overall Score | 8.3/10 |
Final Take: If you enjoy atmospheric, psychological music dramas like Your Lie in April, Whiplash, or Do You Like Brahms?, Four Hands, Two Sonatas delivers a compelling, performative duet worth watching.

Interesting and Just Right a ten for me
I am unsure why there is so much negativity towards the series. First off, it's 12 episodes; it has to be wrapped up quickly. It was NOT cringe.For a quick 12-episode series, I give it a 10. They give us a beginning, middle, and end. I thought the special effects were sufficient for the TV K-drama; the acting was great, the show was cute, and not too complicated for something light and airy. Sometimes I find that some K-dramas can be too intense, which leaves me depressed or in a funk after.
This had just the right amount of comedic timing, with some romance and fun banter between the characters. There were some life lessons to be learned. I have seen bad scripts, and this was definitely not one of them. If you are looking for something super deep, you may have to look toward dramas over 17 episodes long, but this is 12, so through that lens, it works out perfectly.
I love rom-coms, supernatural, and even a little sports to round out this series. If you don't want to be stressed out watching a series, then this may be your cup of tea.

I’m Biased, But Hear Me Out: I Loved This!
Folks, I’m biased—I’ll say that right away. I absolutely loved Wang Yuwen and Wang Anyu in Such a Good Love as Zhou Shui and Dai Daji, and I needed to see them play a couple again. I knew they wouldn’t be Shui and Daji this time, but honestly, that didn’t stop me from treating them like the couple whose story I had already fallen in love with. So I went into this knowing that, no matter how much I might not like it, I was probably going to love the experience simply because they were in it.That said, I always try to evaluate a drama on its own merits and say when something doesn’t work for me. So take my opinion knowing I came in predisposed to like this movie, but I still tried to evaluate it honestly.
As neutral as I can be, I genuinely enjoyed the storytelling. I had been waiting for it since it started filming, and it did not disappoint. For me, much of the experience came down to the characters and following their lives. Their personalities, development, and the progression of the story made me invested in two people struggling with their own failures and social circumstances, desperately trying to survive while also trying to build a fulfilling and happy life.
I especially enjoyed how well these two characters complemented each other. They seemed so free in the way they lived, even though you could still see the constraints surrounding them. I loved their tenacity and aspirations, and I loved that they relied on each other without becoming dependent on or enabling one another. I also loved the passion they had for each other and how much they wanted to share that passion. More importantly, I enjoyed watching them navigate conflict as individuals on a learning curve, trying to find a way forward as a couple—acknowledging each other’s needs and wants while remaining true to their own.

If you like cliche, this is for you
I don’t get it if director was bored and wanted to make something over night Very boring, predictable, lack of acting. Such a waist of time. I expected more from Korean BL,at lest decent story. It is not enough just to be cute actor with great make up, you need to act too. And why in every KBL kissing is sooo fake? I do understand maybe you need to be gay to feel the kiss, but c’mon, that’s why acting and practicing is very important to be presentable.Was this review helpful to you?
From Great Build-Up to a Drastic Downfall
The series starts strong, with great comedy, entertaining dynamics and especially good character development for the Leads. Ran's development is one of its biggest strengths: seeing her grow from someone extremely reserved who struggles to defend herself or Neen into someone who openly stands up for their relationship and eventually sets clear boundaries is genuinely satisfying. Neen's impulsive and playful personality also brings a lot of charm and comedy, while their chemistry makes the wholesome moments work really well.Unfortunately, the later episodes almost work backwards from everything the series had built. The fun balance between comedy, romance and drama mostly disappears in favor of increasingly heavy and forced drama. Characters become less nuanced, some previously great side characters suddenly react in ways that don't fit their earlier portrayal, and the story loses much of the depth and believable communication that made the earlier episodes so refreshing.
The biggest issue is how extremely one-dimensional some antagonistic characters become. Ran's mother in particular is pushed so far in one direction without meaningful development that the story eventually leaves itself almost nowhere believable to go.
Towards the end, the series also skips over too much of the emotional journey that could have made its conclusion truly satisfying.
There are also several very obvious product placements throughout the series that occasionally feel completely disconnected from the scenes around them.
Overall, it's a series with great chemistry, genuinely funny comedy, strong performances and initially very satisfying character development. That's exactly why the later writing is so disappointing: the series had already built the foundation for a much more natural and rewarding conclusion, but ultimately chose forced drama and one-dimensional conflict instead.

When you think it cant get worse than Only you it actually does
Starting of i have to say that if it werent for LingOrm this gl would have 6 rating max because it was bad. The good things: Orms and Runch's mom acting. Orm acted very well in a lot of scenes and was portraying the emotions without too much effort..The bad things: I really can understand what Ch3 is doing. The budget was low, the production was terrible and everything seemed like it was made from a startup low-budget team. The script was mid, kinda boring most of the times and every episode was like the one before (except ep 11). Runchs mom did something, the wives were fighting, they made up and again and again. Lings acting was not good ( i love lingling). It seems like she could make only one expression even if she was sad, happy or angry. She couldnt make the viewers empathize her and feel the emotions with her.
The chemIstry: MID AF. I dont want to be the person who brings up The secret of Us but i just cant. We have seen the chemistry those two can have and it was great. This time it was like they were doing something forced. I will not even start with the horrible kissing . It was like they are disgusted by each other. I dont think its LO fault but the productions either way every person who is over 16 and has kissed someone knows this is not it.
To sum it up, i was disappointed bcs i like lingorm and that was horrible. The channel knows that they are BIG and whatever they will do its gonna hit but come on now. If there is a next series take it seriously and let them act, do workshops and make a series more people will enjoy.
