had me HOOKED

im the type of person who loved 'school 2013'. this one reminded me of it quite a bit. high school drama in the best way: fists flying, bonds forming, characters growing as people.
i was a bit doubtful at the start as things looked a bit blue but once the gangster took over his soul omg... i lived for the hype moments. normally i wouldn't like soul swap of this kind cuz like hello it's still an adult in his body (i would rather prefer some other tough guy of same age)??? but they did it wonderfully in this drama. i loved how there was no romance factor too (some shows make it creepy). the gangster genuinely tried so hard to make a good life out of it for the kid. it was selfless and so fucking awesome as a character.
the ending made a lot of sense. song yi heon's soul stayed to hear the apologies from people who hurt him (even choi se kyung) and once justice was done, he didn't have any attachment left on earth. he had suffered enough and deserved to be see himself happy, have friends, see his mother recover before he could rest in peace. kim deuk pal on the other hand, despite old, had a lot of life in him. it's fair that song hi yeon entrusted his body to his soul.
i understand why people are upset with the BL aspect being removed but honestly i don't see how it would have played out. yes, it would have made more sense in context of the bullying. but other than that, the drama was great. i don't think dramas like this needs romance.
anyways, i love redemptions or at least bullies ending up helping somehow. great job! good story, better bonds. absolutely binge watch worthy!

Good A-list Actors

I really enjoyed watching HUMINT I actually started it because of Zo In-sung, Park Jeong-min, and Park Hae-joon and they absolutely did not disappoint. Each of them delivered such strong, convincing performances that made the story even more engaging and memorable. The plot itself was well-paced with a good mix of suspense and emotion but it was really the acting that stood out for me. Shin Se-kyung was also excellent and so pretty, bringing so much depth and charm to her role and balancing perfectly with the intensity of the male leads. Overall a great show with a solid storyline and outstanding cast definitely worth watching!

Cute and fantasy series starring Keen and Sea

PLOT: Two childhood friends and neighbors, J and Jinn, have always bickered and hated each other, despite being inseparable. They attend a fashion school (sewing and design) and have the same group of friends. After an accident, J begins having visions/premonitory dreams, including one in which he sees Jinn's death. He then becomes aware of his feelings for Jinn and will do everything he can to change what he sees in his dreams.

+++ Keen and Sea, novice actors, have a bright future ahead of them.
+++ A charming second romance, and I really love the chemistry between Java and Surf.
+++ A coherent story and dynamic direction.

### The school section is completely unbelievable: a majority of boys in this type of program, sketches on models that don't progress from the beginning to the end of the series, etc.
### The fantasy section could have been better developed.

=> A nice series for discovering Keen & Sea, cute, but not memorable either.
**************************************************************
Série cute et fantaisy avec Keen / Sea

PLOT: 2 amis d'enfance / voisins, J et Jinn, se chamaillent et se détestent depuis tjs., bien qu'ils soient inséparables. Ils sont ds 1 école de mode (couture, design) et ont le mm gpe d'amis. Après 1 accident, J commence à avoir des visions / rêves prémonitoires, notamment ds lesquels il voit la mort de Jinn. Il prend alors conscience de ses sentiments pr Jinn, et va tt faire pr changer ce qu'il voit ds ses rêves.

+++ Keen et Sea, acteurs novices, ont un bel avenir devant eux.
+++ Romance 2aire attachante et j'aime bcp l'alchimie entre Java et Surf.
+++ Story cohérente et réalis° dynamique.

### La partie Ecole n'est pas du tout crédible : une majorité de garçons ds ce type d'études, des ébauches sur des mannequins qui ne progressent pas du début à a fin de la série, etc.
### La partie Fantaisy aurait pu être mieux exploitée.

=> Série sympa pr la découverte de Keen & Sea, cute, mais pas mémorable non plus.

Slow, slow, slow burn but good!

This was a really slow, slow, slow burning series, but i enjoyed it a lot! A series doesn't always have to have a big or complicated story to be good. The very well done intimate scenes were a nice bonus, the chemistry was amazing!!
For me the story of them falling in love was good enough. The only dissapointment was the second couple (bodyguard) They were bad at acting and no chemistry at all. The kisses were the only good thing they had.

It had stunning visuals and the music was good.

I liked the peach facts and how they displayed them in a smaller cinema like frame.
Same with the memories, they were always in a smaller frame, so easy to recognize.

The rescue after the kidnapping was a bit dissapointing. Just a few punches to rescue Po, the bodyguard did nothing... Then they stared and talked to each other for a few minutes, while the bad guys were just standing around them watching???
Then a small fight, witch was done well, but ended with Po's dad holding Sasom at gunpoint. Still the bodyguard was just standing around....

Poom really surprised me, i wasn't impressed by his acting in My sweetheart Jom and there was hardly any chemistry in that series. But in this one his acting was great an the chemistry amazing!!
And Ki did an amazing job, he showed to be a great actor though this was only his seccond series and the first one as a main.

It kind of dissappointed me

*mild spoilers i didn't mention what was going on just my feelings* well.... to be honest i only watched it because my friend showed me Boss's. ahem. ass. I didn't have much expectations to begin with, I didn't even have any idea what was it about. It started really good I was amazed, THEN towards the end some thing really GMMTV happened and they fumbled the story's potential. It could have been something really good but I guess they didn't want it. Still it was fun to discuss it with my friend our theories were better than the original story they went with. Also I wish alternate universe sequel was with the office universe u_u

Everything about this drama was wonderful: the cinematography, the actors, the plot, the storyline, the portrayal of characters, everything was so perfectly produced. It is the kind of drama one could watch any number of times without ever getting bored. Some may consider the female lead (Su zai zai) as "overexaggeration" or "cringe", but the male lead (Zhang lurang) is conservative and reserved. Considering the personality traits, they make one of the best couples, by creating balance and fulfilment in their lives. I must also particularly point out the female lead's depiction of character, where such characters are assumed to be too kind or overly cute, seeking male attention. However, that is not at all how her character is; she showcases a mature, strong mind and values self-respect and self-worth over anything, which I absolutely adored in the story. The second leads were absolutely amazing, adding a hint of humour to the story. Apart from romance, the story is THE comfort drama, having a depression episode? Watch Wifty. Going through a tough time at school? Watch Wifty. They are just teens having the time of their lives, no villains, no plot twists, no sadness, nothing, just pure love and friendship. Watching this gives you a feeling of warmth, like a big hug. I fully recommend this drama, especially if u feel your life is boring or empty. It teaches you to appreciate everything in life, be content with what you have and cherish it with all your heart. I wish for all the actors and actresses who played this a successful and happy future, and I will continue to love and support them with all my heart.
