Skip this unless you like tragic weak characters
This whole series is about how to be a weak man hiding under a mask of noble sacrifice.One and only showed how to be a weakling when everyone needs you. The saying goes "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". Well, the ML was such a coward about not taking responsibility when he knew the king was a tyrant. He will let the people of his nation suffer and his love die as long as he keeps his silly promise. Watch that if you like tragic moron characters.
Then another lifetime swings around and ML and FL are tied by karmic tragedy again. This time ML is a passive mute person with no redeeming qualities and the FL pretty much carries the relationship by being a doormat for the ML. He constantly bends to will of his family, forcing the female lead to accept every type of abuse from them. Letting his crazy stepmother abuse his wife verbally without ever speaking up for her. Cancelling their wdding engagement party/wedding over and over. Letting his stepbrother physically harm his wife in Bremen, kill his stepsister, and eventually drive his wife off a balcony. All the while constantly having a sad scowl on his face.
I was hoping this lifetime the ML would step up and have growth but he shows the exact same attitude of never showing expressions of love and being a coward again. Let's hope fate never ties them to be husband and wife a third lifetime.

teach you a lesson is basically taxi driver set in schools, and honestly, it was ridiculously entertaining. the case-of-the-week format kept things fast-paced, tackling everything from bullying and cybercrime to toxic parents and academic pressure, while still tying it back to the tragedy that started it all. it's definitely unrealistic and leans heavily into wish-fulfillment justice, but watching the erpb give bullies a taste of their own medicine was undeniably satisfying. the cast had great chemistry, making this a fun, cathartic watch even when its message occasionally became a little too heavy-handed.Was this review helpful to you?
The first 8 episodes were great but then it got disappointing.
I love the acting of both leads and it was lovely to watch that the financial capability were on similar levels. There should be more dramas where both characters are rich and no one depends on each other for money at least. The storyline could have been far better it just seemed a bit too much at the end.Was this review helpful to you?

Why are we glorifying cheating?
This woman was in a relationship, I don't care if it's a stale one. She went ahead and still kept the pharmacist as an option. This is disgusting. Why are you all promoting this garbage?She should have broken up before episode 5. Or at least she should have admitted talking to another guy to her boyfriend. I feel like her boyfriend was wronged in this situation.

Doesn’t live up to potential
I started this drama and We are All Trying Here about the same time and I almost dropped this one. It would have been my first one I ever dropped. I watched until the end for Ahn Hyo Seop but didn’t seem to really care about the other characters. Uneven plot and storylines that were unrelatable. I just skipped over watching scenes. Disappointing.Was this review helpful to you?

love triangle with a side of supernatural
Overall: they needed to narrow the plot focus/cut out the love triangle. 6 episodes about 9 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/7808/fix-the-error-2026-e01 and the Shortime app. My referral link is https://playground.shortime.en/invite/NKNIWI (all letters) and it should get you a bonus.Content Warnings: past murders off screen, past suicidal thoughts, manipulation
What I Liked
- visuals
- unique premise
Room For Improvement
- they had too many characters for a short run time, needed to cut out the love triangle, a lot went un or under explained
- needed more romantic/relationship development

So Far So Good
So many dramas this year are trying too hard to make a good drama. I haven't been too lost in this one, but the story line could be a bit better. I'm not a fan of skipping backwards and forwards on a timeline. Thankfully my newest bias, Lin Mu Ran, has finally shown up in this drama. Those dimples speak to me and those eyes are definitely wonderful to see. He appears as an assassin, but not a very serious one so far. Of course I love the FL and ML and the action in it has kept me watching. It's not dragging out scenes. I'm writing this review sooner than most. Nothing can beat Pursuit Of Jade, but this drama beats most of the ones presented this year. Happy watch!Was this review helpful to you?
Definitely Worth the hype
I honestly don't know why people are rating this drama so low. Please don't let the ratings stop you from watching it. At the end of the day, people are always going to have different opinions, and no matter what a drama does, someone will still find something to complain about.This drama was absolutely worth watching, and I personally enjoyed it a lot. One of the things I loved most was the plot twists. They kept me interested and made the story feel fresh. As someone who watches a lot of zombie dramas, I can confidently say this one felt different from many of the others I've seen, and that's what made it stand out for me.
I'm not usually the type to write reviews. I normally watch a drama and move on to the next one, but this time I felt compelled to leave a comment because I genuinely don't regret spending my time on it.
I don't want to leave any spoilers, but the acting was top-notch. The cast did an amazing job bringing their characters to life, and the emotions felt believable throughout the drama. The pacing kept me engaged, and I found myself wanting to know what would happen next.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience from start to finish and would definitely recommend giving it a chance instead of relying solely on the ratings.

Nothing Burger
While looking for a contemporary drama to break up the costume ones I've been chugging, I skipped down my watch list to IDOL I.I want to say the positive things first.
I really liked the way the show looked. There was clearly a visual vision in every episode. There was some editing and camerawork that made a good impression of me and honestly had me hyped at the start of the show.
The acting is also amazing. Sooyoung has been an icon for decades at this point and she's never been in a truly bad drama. I loved seeing her play this confident woman with hidden duality. Kim Jae-young isn't as well known to me but he did a great job getting his emotions across, and he did such a good job that I totally forgot that he was a grown ass man who was older than Sooyoung.
Now the not so good stuff.
This show is a murder mystery that also seeks to tackle the pitfalls of idol culture, parasocialism, and even government corruption???
Bruh. they shoulda stuck to one thing.
The murder mystery is a jumbled up mess that's easily predictable and inconsistent throughout the whole story. The show will give you a clue that tells you one thing about the crime and then reveal the actual events were the complete opposite of what they told you. Other clues will give you the answer basically immediately.
This drama goes out of its way to show how awful Sasaeng fans are…. but they just get slaps on the wrist multiple times and technically never learn their lessons because they are STILL following the guy around by the end.
The cause of the most grief for kpop idols aren't just the bold fans who physically invade their privacy or bombard their phones, its regular faceless fans who make up the bulk of a fandom and will tear any idol apart for any perceived weakness.
This show expects me to be comfortable with a FL who expressed disappointment when she heard about our ML having a dating scandal and perked back up when he denied the relationship. We later find out the relationship was real and he did have strong feelings for the 2nd FL.
Watching a fan fall in love with an idol she's supposed to be defending, just felt icky. I think I would have liked it better if this show had no romance.
Speaking of the 2nd FL. Women chasing a man who has either shown them NO romantic interest OR has made it clear that they DON'T want a relationship is MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE. I can't stand it, and this drama offers a big helping of the jealous 2nd FL trope. It's annoying and awful and I hate it. Girl I know you're crazy 🤪 or whatever but have some respect for yourself.
I also had a huge issue with the corruption bits. It was so frustrating to watch a drama that thought I was dumb enough to believe that prosecutors doing their job was like a miracle. 2nd ML has so many dumb scenes with his dad where they're like “why are you doing your job? Make shit up!” It was so dumb, and I hated the way this whole thing connected to our (dadless) ORPHAN FL.
Also EVERYONE in this thing is like the WORST person ever to our ML once he gets accused. Every sad backstory you could think of for an idol, bros got it.
I didn't care for the musical bits but I was having fun at the beginning before the romantic bits started up. I know that its only 12 episodes but I was so frustrated watching the ML start questioning the FL about the men in her life… like dude, it's none ya business AND I think you got more important things to worry about? lol anyways, I'm never gonna rewatch. 5/10 no drama.

One of the best films I've watched this year
Well deserves its multiple Golden Horse Awards. A slow, intense, emotionally raw, and well acted film set during the period of White Terror, when Taiwan was ruled under the Kuomintang’s era of martial law. The heartwarming unlikely friendship between the two leads keeps the story from becoming unrelentingly brutal as it mixes political violence with simple moments of human connection and survival. The post-credit scenes really do amount to a fitting conclusion.Was this review helpful to you?

Everyone Needed Therapy, Especially the Foxes
📝 Review(WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I’m Not Saving You from Any Emotional Damage)
This was one of those dramas that immediately grabbed my attention because the premise sounded cool.
Then Lee Dong Wook appeared on screen and suddenly my objectivity left the building.
The story follows Lee Yeon as he continues searching for the reincarnation of the woman he loved centuries ago, and quickly spirals into mythology, ancient grudges, family wounds, supernatural politics, and enough emotional suffering to keep everyone busy for sixteen episodes.
The FL is intelligent, capable, and actively involved in uncovering the mysteries surrounding her own life, while the ML carries centuries of grief and devotion that shape nearly every decision he makes, creating a romance built on fate, memory, and impossible waiting.
The supporting cast and side relationships add humor, heart, and emotional depth, making the world feel much larger than the central romance alone.
These types of dramas tend to rely heavily on their mythology and lore, and this one is no exception.
The folklore elements were some of my favorite parts of the entire show. Every supernatural creature, legend, and mythological reference helped make the world feel rich and lived-in rather than existing solely for plot convenience.
By the middle/end, I was fully invested in both the romance and the family dynamics.
Especially the family dynamics.
Because Kim Bum's Lee Rang spends most of the drama throwing wrenches into everyone's plans while simultaneously making you increasingly concerned for his emotional well-being.
He's not really the main villain.
He's more like a professionally trained troublemaker operating on unresolved trauma and questionable decision-making.
And somehow it works.
The gatekeeper and her husband were also fantastic. Every scene involving them added charm, humor, and a nice break from the constant supernatural disasters unfolding elsewhere.
My brain: invested in Korean mythology.
My emotions: repeatedly manipulated.
My snacks: mysteriously disappearing every episode.
One thing I appreciated was that the series kept moving. It didn't feel padded with endless filler episodes or unnecessary detours. There was always another mystery, another reveal, or another piece of lore waiting around the corner.
In the end, I finished feeling entertained, emotionally satisfied, and slightly concerned about how much I enjoyed watching immortal fox people ruin each other's lives.
And somehow… it worked.
