Demon in the court to deliver your final judgement

For all the kdrama releasing lately were having almost similar theme with a difference of 19-20 ..this one felt quite refreshing to me ..I read the synopsis long ago and was waiting for its release .. I have to say so far this is living up to my expectations... Demon delivering the final judgement.. perhaps these dramas are for the lame judges who study in Harvard ..waste both resources and time yet deliver nothing ...in my POV law doesn't help society the much it harms it ...and that's what clearly shown in this drama.


Episode one : introduces the story how the justitia demon took possesion of kang bitna body and started living her life ( not giving more spoilers )
Episode two : what an outstanding episode... The way she beats the crap out of that creepy abuser ..MY GOD !! I WATCHED THAT SCENE ON REPEAT ...SO SATISFYING ❤️

As far as acting is considered both ML and FL are popular and talented characters ... Watching Park since her role in heirs ..she is good no doubt about that ...

Story is quite interesting so far ... The only thing I am scared of is the low korean drama bar for showing violence. . I feel some stories need ample amount of onscreen violence to justify the plot ... Hope they can deliver it to end (VIOLENCE IN EP 2 WAS QUITE APT FOR THE CASE)

I felt music was a little bit louder ..not a fan of loud electric guitar you know ... But taste in music is a subjective thing.



Looking forward to next episode release and will edit the review in the end ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Perfect ending to the 飞虎 trilogy

The first season was great with certain inconsistencies, the less said of the second season the better. Somehow, the third season in my opinion was the best of the bunch, extremely shocking for HK drama standards.

So, how did they make it better?

We start with the plot:
The story can be split into 2 parts, Argunbia and DH2. I felt that both parts were extremely well written and executed, and both the parts started and ended on a high note. I could not expect better fight scenes too. Usually for a 飞虎 show it is meant to be a all action, guns a-blazing plot. However, this drama managed to mix in emotional scenes and character development, improving from the first season.

To add on, although the main point of the story is on the special taskforce S Team, there are still some 飞虎队 elements inside, improving on the horrific second season. Honestly, this season was the perfect ending with a blend of both prequels.

Acting:
I felt that Michael Miu acted amazingly not as a Police officer, but as a sort of criminal/police hybrid, a little bit like his 雷霆扫毒 character 向荣. I always loved Bosco's dramas but his performance in this one was peak, especially in the last episode and his duel against Oscar Leung (who I think also did quite well). Can't say the same for Ron Ng though as his role is quite generic.

Not just the main cast were good. There were many smart choices for casting as well. The choice that they made to get Moses Chan as a cameo to be replaced by 展sir Joe Ma as well as casting a veteran actor Roger Kwok as 杜文彬 was incredible.

Songs:
I love GEM but that song is no 飞虎 song. It is better than the Karen Mok one in season 2 though. Much better.

Rewatch:
It made my heart palpitate the entire time. Definitely worth a rewatch!

That wraps up my 飞虎 reviews. Overall I really hope that they do decide to make a 4th season as long as they have a proper theme song.

it wasn’t for me

Despite the promising plot this drama just didn’t do it for me, maybe I grew out of the aggressive and borderline possessive male lead trope. I feel like the relationship between the main leads had no development and was more of a sexual attachment than love, I will give it to the main actors who did have the chemistry but chemistry can only get you so far when the storyline is lacking. This may be other people’s cup of tea but it wasn’t mine, it’s like they were trying to do a high school version of 50 shades of grey but make it a bit more PG and failed miserably.

a very cute and wholesome drama

This is a wonderful and cute drama that is easy to binge due to it only having 10 episodes! I loved the chemistry between the main leads, there are some slow bits here and there which is why the rating dropped a bit but overall I recommend it. Maybe far fetched but I’d love a spinoff with her oldest younger brother maybe set in a couple years when he’s older, I grew to love him a lot! If you’re looking for something quick and easy that doesn’t have much drama apart from the ending episodes with his disapproving mother I recommend this drama, I loved the domestic vibes it had because the main leads lived together throughout most of the drama. It’s just super comforting and wholesome and I can see myself rewatching in the future.

Overall rating: 9.4/10

Not sure if everyone else watched the same drama because what??

FL isn't really good with expressing emotions, especially romantic ones. She is a badass character when it comes to fighting and defending herself verbally, she is not your typical 'nice and takes sh*t from everyone' kind of female lead which I actually liked. But my god her interaction with the ML was just so bad. There was a scene where they were supposed to be arguing but she just looked playful and confused (or was just pretending to be clueless about why the ML was mad?). It's only in the next scene when the servants talked about 'their big fight' was how I realised it was a fight. There were so many scenes that were supposed to be sweet and them falling in love but I felt like skipping the whole time because the acting were just stiff/terrible.

The storyline was all over the place, with this that and everything happening and it's so obvious that it's a low budget drama. I just couldn't watch it anymore when I missed a few days and then suddenly had 10 episodes to watch. It was ok when I had 2 eps to watch daily with nothing else to watch. It's not something I'd actually be curious to know about or care enough to watch how it ends. Definitely not rewatching.

xfavor mirenlo

posta xfavor mírense esto, hay una historia bien hecha y que encima es interesante, personajes bien desarrollados, buenas actuaciones, buena música y uno de los mejores finales de este año, por no decir el mejor.
El personaje de Great es perfecto, te hace estar al borde TODO EL TIEMPO, bible hizo un trabajazo con esto.
El personaje de Tonkla el mejor 100%, nunca nadie lo termina de conocer bien y nunca sabes que va a hacer.
Lo único, faltó desarrollo al personaje de win y a su relación con tonkla, había mucho más para dar y se re desaprovechó, y más sabiendo que a Win posta le gustó Tonkla.
El final es loquisimo pero no es muy difícil de entender al final de todo, me encantó.

"Awaken": A Mind-Bending Journey That'll Keep You Up All Night!

This show is a total game-changer in the thriller genre, and I'm still reeling from the experience.

Do Jung-woo, played by the incredible Namgoong Min. This guy is a walking enigma - a brilliant profiler with a mysterious past that keeps you guessing until the very end. The way the story unfolds, peeling back layers of mystery with each episode, is nothing short of masterful. His character is giving off major "I know something you don't know" vibes the whole time, and I was living for it.

Now, let's talk about the cast. Holy moly, where do I even begin? Namgoong Min is an absolute powerhouse. He brings this intensity to Jung-woo that's both captivating and slightly unnerving. You never quite know what's going on in his head, and it's thrilling. Then there's Seolhyun as Gong Hye-won, a detective with a heart of gold and a steely determination. The chemistry between these two? Explosive! It's not your typical romantic tension - it's this palpable, electric connection that crackles through every scene they share.

And can we give a massive shoutout to Lee Chung-ah as Jamie? She brings this wonderful complexity to her character.

Oh, and Jung Woo... Absolute comedy gold!( PS: not only comedy) I swear I saw shades of his character from "One Dollar Lawyer" in there. His scenes provided some much-needed comic relief amidst all the intensity

Speaking of intensity, the pacing of this show is spot-on. It's not one of those slow-burn dramas where you're waiting three episodes for something to happen. Nope, "Awaken" hits the ground running and doesn't let up. I found myself with this constant urge to know what happens next, binging episode after episode because I just couldn't stop.

But it's not all thrills and chills. There are moments in this show that hit you right in the feels. I'm talking about scenes that left me with this heaviness in my chest, struggling to catch my breath. The emotional depth they managed to weave into this complex plot is seriously impressive.

And that ending? Oh. My. God. I'm still processing it. It's the kind of conclusion that sticks with you, making you rethink everything you've watched. If they ever make a Season 2, especially with more of Jung Woo's character, I think I might explode from excitement!

To wrap it up, "Awaken" is a masterclass in storytelling. It's got top-notch acting, a unique and gripping plot, perfect pacing, and enough twists to give you whiplash (in the best way possible). It seamlessly blends elements of crime thriller, supernatural mystery, and even a touch of sci-fi.

A bad season!

After the first four episodes, I was well and truly invested. Although the modern-day setting lends the second season a different flavor, the callbacks and connections to season one occur gradually and organically, almost in sequence with Ho-jae's recovery of his memories.
The episode three action sequences. I understand that shrouding scenes in darkness are true to how the lighting would look in those environments, but when it's coupled with the rapid editing style of the fight sequences, it sometimes makes it difficult to follow exactly what's going on in those scenes.
Obviously, the budget was on the finale so the fight sequences were quite better and well-lit. Other than that, no cliche plot lines and good integration of past to present timelines.
This season is edgier and the storyline seems more compelling. Also feel like the chemistry is off the charts this time. Though the first season had good world building and layered characters, while this one has the complete opposite.

Seong Jo's motivation is so fucking stupid.
Why did Chae-ok not keep tabs on Tae Sang. I get the melodramatic we can't be together sentiment, but you would still like to be aware of the love of your life being dead or alive, which in fact would have helped her realise that he's also like her now.

I loved the twists though.

I thought this was a great show

I really enjoyed this show. I always look for a lesson in the shows I watch, and Dare to Love Me did not disappoint. It shows how important forgiveness and family is and that we shouldn't procrastinate. There was a lesson that forgiveness is something we need to give ourselves more than others. The Main Leads played their roles very well. I always enjoy watching their facial expressions as it's almost like you can see what they are thinking and Kim Myung Soo always achieves that every time. The scenery is spectacular and the music always seemed to set the tone of the scene. My only complaint would be I wish they had more music in the show.
All up I would watch this again.

This show made me feel emotions I didn't know I could feel in this way.

DISCLAIMER: I was told by a source and also read somewhere that a season two has already been completed (script wise) and all that's left are fan reviews in order for us to get it SO please do your job as fans and upvote as much as you can about this show so we don't have to end it in heartbreak like our last episode!!

Honestly, there's a reason people say Taiwan makes the best bls, I stand by that statement. From the acting to the plot, this cast and crew really REALLY outdid themselves. The storyline could easily be seen as cliche, however, the way the cast and crew portrays the story shines an entirely new light on that cliche completely. Episode one was full of explanations and a bit of goofiness; as time went on the show really took a serious turn and had me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I want to take this time to mention as well, Ricky Hsiao and the other musicians who made the OSTs are so talented, this show introduced me to a new musician I love and I'm forever grateful. Back to the story, at times I felt like somewhere in the plot more could've happened, nonetheless, I really have no complaints other than it being too short. The actors did an amazing job at playing their roles, their was a great balance of silliness, seriousness, tense scenes, and emotion overall. Sometimes you'll find a good show with a good plot + cast that only misses good cinematography but this show did an AMAZING job with their cinematography. I haven't cried over a show in ages and I actually shed a few tears to some scenes (And Ricky Hsiao's amazing vocals) and I'm also grateful for that. This show was definitely a breath of fresh air along with a punch to the face! Amazing job to the actors, crew, and writer of this story. I don't think I've been this obsessed with a drama in ages, keep up the fantastic work! (Not that it means much coming from a random fan somewhere, regardless)
