A Horror BL that's actually scary
This BL truly is amazing. I want to keep this spoiler light so I won't go to in-depth but I really want to commend the series for its balance of the romance and horror plot.I've seen an other review say that they felt like the sweet romance between Thup and Singha didn't work because it doesnt suit the overall tone of the show and I have to heavily disagree. I loved the more or less cookie cutter romance between the two because they were a nice refresher after some of the more unpleasant images of corpses and ghosts. So the romance part was really well executed expecially because there was with the small exception of King no unnecessary drama in their relationship with no real misunderstandings. King's villain arc in their relationship could've easily become overbearing and annoying but they've concluded that part of the story rather quickly.
The Horror Plot was really good tho with one or two minor flaws but still it managed to be actually scary and made sense (for the most part). The ghosts were scary, the real killer/culprit was good if kind of predictable and the music and cinematography added to the overall eerie atmosphere that the supernatural aspect of the show was going for. There was however one thing i found slightly stupid (if i didn't misunderstand that part of the show). How tf did the police not check the spot were the seven bodies were found the first time again? Like all of the victims for the second ritual were just chilling there for a few days and no-one thought hey let's maybe check the last crime scene!?!?!?!?! Yeah idk about that part but I'll forgive it since characters in horror stories typically aren't the brightest.
Definetely 10/10 tho would recommend 100%

Carrying the casket
Touching and meaningful. In the Love Track series, the main plot is love with the addition of certain original elements, but in this episode, the romantic relationship of the main character is actually an addition to the real story — saying goodbye to a dear person who has passed away. The whole story unfolds during the funeral ceremony, so this drama is also educational in showing how Korean funerals are held. I have actually been to one funeral in a Korean church, and I helped carry the casket from the church to the car, so this particular drama was very meaningful to me.The final images of this drama are also very touching, in a good way. We all have to say goodbye to someone we loved (or rather, not loved, but still love, because death cannot kill love), but we say that goodbye with respect for the life that was lived and with hope for the life that is still to come. There was no priest at this funeral, but there is hope, and I recommend watching this if you have the chance.

Starts out bad, but it does get better ...
I went into this series hoping for a good foxtail story. My all time favorite drama is Tale Of The Nine Tailed with Lee Dong Wook, so I was a little disappointed after the first two episodes. The character Eun Ho was not likable at all, putting a major damper on the story line.However, if you give the series a chance, it does improve as you get into the third and forth episodes. The story becomes a bit more in depth and the main protagonists finally begin to jell together. Lomon gives a good performance, adding a good chemistry with Hye Yoon ... but like I said, you need to give it time for this to happen. By episode 5 the series had me, and it was extremely enjoyable from that point on.
The only major negative I have, is what I hate in any of these dramas ... when you get to the final episode and you see "Three years later, Five years later, Nine years later" It never seems to click with me. So much time has passed, yet everyone looks the same, everyone has the same feel like it was an hour earlier instead of a decade later. That said, it was a good ending. Could it have been better? Yes, absolutely, but overall, it was enjoyable.

A Heartfelt Fantasy About Choices, Consequences, Love And True Self.
How should I put this, this series is one of its kind. On paper it looked like a cliche story but in delivery it stands complete on its own, This story need attention and time not quick jumps- and that's what makes it special.Lets start:
The story follows Eunho, a 900-year-old gumiho, who refuses to become human and stays true to her choice until the very end. At its heart, the series is about living life on your own terms, owning your choices, and facing the consequences — no regrets.
The plot is structurally-written. There are no loose ends, and unnecessary plots, every character gets a satisfying conclusion. Every scene connects seamlessly, so the audience isn’t left questioning “what just happened?” It’s neatly packed. The direction is good too, though there are a few sudden cuts here and there — noticeable, but not enough to ruin the experience.
Acting & Chemistry:
Kim Hye Yoon as Eunho is an absolute delight. Portraying a 900-year-old gumiho, she adopts an older, more structured tone and speech — and she nails it. Her comic timing has always been strong, and it lands perfectly here as well. Her sly, foxy attitude and bratty charm are a joy to watch, and that heartbreaking outburst in ep 11 and that beautiful, strong silent emotional delivery in ep 12, IYKYK are just Chef’s kiss 💯😍.
Lomon shines as Kang Siyeol, taking on a sensitive and delicate character for the first time. He delivers a nuanced and convincing performance, showing real promise as a young actor.🫶
Even though this isn’t your typical romance drama, the chemistry between the leads feels like a perfectly layered cake — consistently engaging without ever feeling forced. With each episode, you keep wanting more of “them.” The rest of the cast also delivers strong performances, and the OST complements the mood beautifully, even if it isn’t particularly groundbreaking.
Verdict:
If you enjoy reflective, emotional fantasy with light romance and comedy, I completely recommend this but if you’re chasing high-stakes, steamy romance, out of the box oscar level story telling look elsewhere.
The review ends here.
But this is something I personally wanted to address.
I came across a Reddit comment claiming Eunho didn’t learn anything by the end because she chose to remain a gumiho — I strongly disagree.
Some people missed the core point of this series. In episode 12, Eunho recalls her unnie’s words and admits that living life her own way, owning her choices, is exactly how life should be. That’s the real narration — not just for her, but for all of us watching.
This drama is about making your own choices and facing the consequences. Every character — Eunho, Siyeol, Woo Seok, Lee Yoon, Jang Do Cheol, and Gumho — navigates their own decisions and outcomes.
Eunho chooses both kang Si yeol (her love) and her life as a gumiho at the end, and Kang Siyeol chooses Eunho too. Both of them know the consequences of their choices, yet they make them anyway — because they’re trying to stay true to themselves and to each other. They love themselves and each other in every form and shape, leaving the rest to life to play out as it will.
By the end, it’s clear what Eunho learned — and what we, as the audience, can take away too:
If you don’t stay true to your core identity, no amount of convincing yourself you’re happy will truly work. But if you choose to be true to yourself first, and then love others from that place, the relationships will bloom. True love starts from within.

My favourite show of 2025
What a wonderful drama. It was not perfect, but in a way it also was.This was an incredibly heartwarming show full of quirky, silly, loveable characters, it made me laugh so much, but it also made me sad and angry and tear up. It is overall not a particularly realistic story, but it deals with very real topics, and the way in which the more serious aspects were addressed and highlighted in this otherwise often hilarious drama, without undermining or ridiculing the issues it talked about, deeply moved me.
This is a beautiful story about found family, about people who might not always fit in, but can still find their place in this world, about equality and dreams and being happy, it is comforting and made me smile, but also serves as a reminder to keep fighting and demanding the same rights for everyone.
There are a few minor details that could have been written a little bit differently to make me like this show even more, and some topics are explored in more detail than others when I would have appreciated them getting the same attention, but overall I still loved this show and its characters so much and can wholeheartedly recommend it.
Just don't binge-watch it, this one needs to be savoured and I am glad I watched it weekly and not all at once.
This turned out to be my favourite show of 2025 and may even become one of my all-time favourites when I revisit it in the future. Which I surely will, this is definitely going to stay a comfort watch of mine.

The plot is dark and intense.
Trigger Season 1 2025I had heard this series name many times, so finally I watched it between 7 and 10 February 2026. Yes, it is a good series. The very first scene was enough to make me continue the whole show. You may have seen that scene on reels. A young man enters a college classroom, takes out a gun from his bag, and shoots the teacher and students.
This is an Action, Crime, Psychological Thriller series. It is based on a “what if” idea. What would happen if guns suddenly started getting delivered to every home in a country that was previously gun free?
Story: The plot is dark and intense. It is not just about action and gunfights. It shows how even an ordinary person can become violent when pushed into desperation.
Acting: Kim Nam-gil plays a calm police officer very well. Kim Young-kwang’s mysterious character feels unhinged and chilling.
My Opinion: If you liked tense shows like My Name or Squid Game, then this is a must watch. The pacing feels slow in some parts, but the social message is deep. I give it 8 out of 10.
Content Type: Web Series, K-drama
Genre: Action, Crime, Psychological Thriller
Writer/Director: Directed by Kwon Oh-seung. Written by Kwon Oh-seung and Park Hoon-jung. Produced for Netflix.

Love in the Clouds: Where Hidden Identities Lead to Genuine Hearts
Drama Love in the Clouds presents a captivating story about Ming Xian, a goddess of war brilliantly portrayed by Lu Yuxiao. To win the Tournament of the Six Realms of Hexu, she disguised herself as a man for seven years, only for fate to lead her to defeat at the hands of Ji Bozai, played by Hou Minghao, a former prisoner of the Jixing Abyss. This defeat becomes a crucial turning point as Ming Xian is forced to adopt a new identity a dancer named Ming Yi to get close to Ji Bozai and obtain the antidote for a lethal poison threatening her life.The main strength of this drama lies in the extraordinary chemistry between Hou Minghao and Lu Yuxiao, who successfully bring a natural and subtle "cat and mouse" dynamic to life. Their interaction is filled with delicate romantic tension, conveyed through lingering gazes, small gestures, and light dialogue that build a deep emotional connection. Ji Bozai delivers a stunning performance as an intelligent and calm figure; behind his composure lies a meticulously planned strategy to avenge the teacher who once saved his life. Despite a dark past that makes it difficult for him to trust others, Ming Yi’s presence slowly melts his defenses, leading him to choose to protect and forgive her even after being lied to repeatedly.
On the other hand, Lu Yuxiao demonstrates an incredible acting range through her character's transition from a cold goddess of war to a seductive and cunning dancer. Ming Yi is depicted as a selfless protagonist; she is able to distinguish between personal matters and the greater good, even sincerely helping Ji Bozai protect the Jixing Abyss from various threats. Their relationship, which initially began with a mission to find an antidote and a fake marriage to protect her identity, gradually transforms into genuine love after facing various life and death obstacles together.
Technically, the drama is a feast for the eyes with its elegant cinematography and dreamy visuals. The use of CGI to build the xianxia world appears seamless and not over the top, creating a stunning yet grounded aesthetic. The detailed, luxurious, and aesthetic costumes, combined with an emotional soundtrack, successfully heighten the atmosphere in every romantic scene and battle. The combination of these elements ensures high and consistent production quality throughout the story.
Although it tackles heavy themes of revenge and power struggles, the narrative of Love in the Clouds remains light and entertaining thanks to well placed humorous scenes. While the final episodes feel slightly rushed toward the resolution, the solid acting performances from the cast compensate for this flaw. With a satisfying happy ending, this drama is a must-watch for fans of the costume genre even for those who previously found xianxia too magical or unrealistic as it perfectly balances action and emotion.

It's shockingly a good drama this 2026!
Okay—hear me out. Watch this drama.I honestly wondered why it isn’t as popular as the other drama currently airing, because, in my opinion, this one is actually a little better.
At first, I didn’t plan to watch it. I still couldn’t move on from When Destiny Brings the Demon, the previous drama of Arthur Chen, and I also wasn’t a fan of the female lead.
But to my surprise, after just one episode, I ended up staying awake until dawn binge-watching all the available episodes. It’s that good—you can’t help but crave the next one.
The acting, the plot, the chemistry, the roles they portray, the plot twists, the setting, the mood—everything simply works. The acting feels natural, the chemistry is convincing, and the plot twists are timed just right so you end up smiling before an episode ends (or cry when you have to 😅).
This is easily one of the best feel-good dramas out there. I especially love how the cast brings the story to life.

trama mal escrita, tremenda química
Me cuesta darles una mala nota porque me encantó la química de los protagonistas. Creo que el final es algo único en su decisión por ser agridulce y una conclusión al arco de personaje de Eunho. Si bien estarán juntos, llegará un día en el que ella tendrá que seguir sin Siyeol.Ahora, lo negativo lo resumo en: una trama donde todo pasa, pero la mayoria no importa. Hay personajes ignorados y subtramas desechadas. Me hubiera encantado que la historia no diera tantas vueltas sobre si misma.

Charming Fantasy Rom-Com with Fun Moments but Uneven Execution
okay so I love both of them. lovely runner and all of us are dead leads.My rating:
Story: 6/10 – Fun concept with a modern gumiho twist, but uneven pacing and a rushed ending.
Acting: 6.5/10 – Some charm from the leads, but chemistry and emotional depth are inconsistent.
Music: 7/10 – Pleasant OST that fits the fantasy-romance vibe.
Rewatch value: 5.5/10 – Cute moments exist, but plot holes and uneven storytelling make it less rewatchable.
Overall: 7.5/10 – Entertaining for casual fantasy-rom-com fans, but not standout or highly memorable.

Sacrifice
A story about sacrificing your love for the other to be happy.It's a sweet drama, but it was too short, because of that the story felt unfinished. There were to many holes in the story, and scene's felt unfinished.
The visuals were great and the music was ok.
The actors did a good job and the chemistry and kises were good.

Was Expecting Someone Better But Was Disappointed!!
The tale of the nine-tailed fox, albeit with a twist!!There are too many shows portraying the infamous “Gumiho” or the famed nine-tailed foxes. They are mystical, magical and intriguing. The show draw inspiration from these verifiable sources, to project a nine-tailed fox with twisted tendencies. That is at least new, because I have never seen a more money-minded gumiho in Korean shows before. Our main lead, Eun Ho loves to bend fate and control humans, at the cost of a lame payment. Her so-called deals allow her to lead a luxurious life while she strives hard to shy away from humanity. Everything is well until she switched dates between two men and Heaven punishes her by stripping her powers and turning her into a measly human being. Both main leads have their own flaws; the male lead is arrogant & narcissistic, while the female lead is money minded and greedy. The plot focuses on their arc of redemption!

recommended to watch
finished watching the drama, very heartwarming drama and my tears flow at later parts of the show. surprised by Ancy Deng acting as her acting as a 40+ woman despite her young age(20) makes the whole drama lively and i attract me to continue watching episodes after episodes. Not the typical comedy drama but still bring alot of joy and emotions when watching. hope more people are willing to give this drama a tryWas this review helpful to you?
Really fun watch
Better than I expected, honestly. The banter was fun and felt natural, which kept things lively even when the pacing slowed a bit. The plot was above average—nothing groundbreaking, but engaging enough to stay invested. Production quality was solid too, with clean visuals and good overall execution.Was this review helpful to you?

MAIN COUPLE < SIDE COUPLE
Yall… I genuinely don’t even know what to say about this series.I finished it in 3 hours. THREE. HOURS.
That is not binge culture. That is me speed-running mediocrity. And before you ask, no it’s not because it was SO GOOD I couldn’t stop. It’s because it was so textbook I could literally predict every line before they said it. I was sitting there like
“okay now he’s gonna misunderstand.”
“okay now someone’s gonna cry.”
“okay now slow motion.”
And boom. I was right. AGAIN.
Now listen… I am disappointed. Not in a dramatic crying on the floor way. More like standing in the kitchen at 2AM staring into the fridge like… "this could’ve been more".
Long. My man. My problematic fave. WHY do BL gods hate you? Why do they keep giving you series that feel like reheated leftovers? Is there a curse? A ritual? A grudge from a past life? I need answers. But when I found out he wasn’t pairing with Frank anymore, I was like
“THANK YOU GOD OF GAYS.”🌈🙏
Because let’s be honest. That pairing felt one-sided. It was giving “I’m here for the paycheck.” The vibe was not vibing. The chemistry was missing. The soul was absent. So when I heard new partner? I was READY. I was seated. I was moisturized.
Arm enters. And I went… “Okay… cute.”. He kinda looks like JJ if JJ and Frank had a soft reboot baby. Face cute. Acting… a bit buffering. Slight lag. But maybe a little better than Frank. A LITTLE. I’m being generous today.
Anyway. If you love this series, my review might sting. And that’s okay. We grow through pain. 💅
_____________________________________________
a) Plot
GIRL. This is giving 2 Moons PTSD 🚨 The moment it started with that random fight scene between Knight and Mud I was like “Okay wait. Why are we fighting? Who are we? Is this it?” Then Mild suddenly appears, punches Knight in slow motion like we’re filming a student thesis project, and then starts treating his wounds like "WHAT IS THIS??". And I’m sitting there like “WHO ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING HIM? WHERE IS THE INTRODUCTION???”
The transitions? Messy. Scene A to Scene B? Teleportation. We are skipping emotional buildup like it’s optional DLC.
Then Per x Kan enter… and suddenly I’m interested 👀. Why is the side couple more compelling than the main couple AGAIN? Why is this a recurring BL disease? Knight x Mild plot basically revolves around the allegation that Knight raped Mild. And here’s the thing... even after finishing, I was still like… “Did he? Did he not? Why is this unclear?”. Mild has flashbacks of assault but Knight says he only kissed him while drunk so the show treats this like a dramatic mystery but then drains it the moment it gets interesting.
BABE. You could’ve made it that Mud’s friend did it and Knight caught him so Mud misunderstood or something. You could’ve added layers. Betrayal. Misunderstanding. Angst. Courtroom vibes. SOMETHING. Instead we got watered down conflict and rushed resolution.
Now Per x Kan? That’s the real show. Bad boy gone soft for one man? Yes please. Enemies to lovers? Inject it into my bloodstream. Their chemistry? Hot. Convincing. Criminally underused. They should’ve been the main couple. I said what I said.
Also the family drama with Knight and Per’s parents? Weak. I wanted rage. I wanted screaming. I wanted Per’s mom to still hold grudges like it’s her full-time job. I wanted Long and Mon ugly crying while their parents fought. We were ROBBED of meltdown content.
The pacing gets slightly better near the end but some cringe scenes? Unnecessary. I felt secondhand embarrassment at least twice.
_____________________________________________
b) Characters
> Knight played by Long Lee Shi
First of all. The mullet.
THE MULLET 😩🔥
Why did this man wake up and decide to attack me personally? 😩
I saw the hair and I said out loud, “Oh I’m done. I’m finished. I’m no longer functional.” Long is a good actor. Period. No debate. But Knight as a character? Bland seasoning. We’re told he’s a playboy, untrustworthy, emotionally complicated… but WHERE is the backstory? Where is the buildup? Everything happens too fast. There’s no smooth transition into his “in love” era. One minute he’s chaotic, next minute he’s devoted.
I needed more internal struggle. More depth. More “I hate that I love you.”
> Mild played by Arm Chaiyapat
Who is this baby?
Arm… listen… I’m watching you 👀
It’s his first series so I’m not dragging him to hell. But acting? Mid. Tears? Minimal. Emotional breakdown? Contained. Sometimes he just stands there crying like he’s aware of the camera. Let it go baby. Be ugly. Cry like your mascara is illegal.
Character wise? Confusing. He says he’ll trust Knight, then runs to ask the friend instead. Pick a lane, bestie. Are we strong? Are we uncertain? What is the direction? It’s giving weak power bottom but not in a fun way.
> Per played by Mon Taechin
Why is this man so fine? Why does he look aggressively Thai and beautiful? Why am I weak?
Bad boy gone soft? That’s my kink 👅. I admit it. He had chemistry. He had presence. But again, no backstory. Show me him messing with girls before fully committing. Show me the transition. I want to SEE the growth not just hear about it.
Also… Per kissing a girl? Why did that hit? Why did that do something to me? I need therapy 😩💦🍆
> Kan played Pak Varayu
POWER BOTTOM CODED. Period 😌🫶🏼. He knows what he wants. When his best friend confessed, he said “sorry babe I’m gay.” Iconic behavior. But again… no backstory. No trauma. No depth. They said “Here’s Kan. Accept him.”
Plain rice. Edible. But where’s the spice?
_____________________________________________
c) Steam Scene
Main couple? Chemistry… not really there. I even skipped their scene which is INSANE behavior for me. That’s how you know.
Per x Kan though? I rewound. For research purposes.
_____________________________________________
d) OST
OST?
…
Exactly.
_____________________________________________
e) Overall
It’s not terrible. But it’s not memorable. Main couple chemistry is lukewarm. Conflict underdeveloped. Backstory missing. Transitions rushed. Side couple carried the entire show on their backs like unpaid interns.
Would I rewatch?
Be serious.
Final score: 6/10.
It almost got a 5 but I’m feeling charitable today. 💅
