Humanity is still there...

This series has a very clean and well-crafted script that was not made just like that. The characteristic of screenwriters is to consult both with doctors specialized in this field and with a series of experienced psychologists and write the screenplay with full details about this issue. In the first part, they allow us to slowly see the life of Lin Tu and the people around him and immerse ourselves in his world until his sudden fall knocks us down, while being extremely sadistic, it was a neat thing...

The series has the most beautiful and thoughtful dialogues. From the name of the topic of each episode to the simple words between the characters, it remains like a treasure. The actors officially live this series. Step by step, completely sinking into their role as if it is not the world of a series, it is real.

The romance of the series is sad and at the same time sweet. The series is full of friendship and humanity that is still alive. The songs made me cry even more. Damn, sometimes I couldn't watch the series because I was crying so much. I would go and sit in a corner to stop crying and then come to him...

In short, this series became one of my most beautiful Chinese moderns. From the first part to the end, I only saw beauty and cried, but it was worth it. Let me say that this series is about a person who has an incurable disease. In short, it depends on your taste and, of course, your mental strength, whether you can watch it or not. For me, this series was really beautiful and I recommend it to everyone.

فیلمی با خط داستانی عالی اما پرداخت ضعیف

بعد از دیدن تریلر و مخصوصا موزیک‌ویدیویی که از این فیلم منتشر شد، به شدت منتظر ریلیزش بودم. با انتظارات بالا و دید مثبت شروعش کردم... ومتاسفانه با ناامیدی به اتمام رسوندمش.
تیم تولید امکانات زیادی در اختیار داشت که میتونست به بهترین نحو ازشون استفاده کنه و یه اثر به یادموندنی بسازه:
بازیگر هایی که شناخته شده و محبوبن
خط اولیه‌ی قوی داستان
المان‌ها و اشاره‌های فرهنگی
طراحی لباس عالی
دکور و صحنه‌سازی باکیفیت و‌...
اما متاسفانه همشون قربانی فیلمنامه‌ی به شدت ضعیف و تدوین پیچیده و بی‌نظم شدن.

<اسپویل>
قرار بود خِم و وان که به اشتباه به قتل متهم شده بودن، برای پاک کردن نام خودشون به مان‌سوانگ بیان و اونجا اسناد خرابکاری یه عده که گمان میرفت در حال آماده‌سازی برای شورش بر علیه تاج و تخت بودند رو پیدا کنن.
بعد از اومدن به مان‌سوانگ هم فهمیدن با چاترا منافع مشترک دارن و تصمیم گرفتن همکاری کنن.

انقدر باگ فیلمنامه زیاد بود که واقعا نمیدونم چجوری فیلم رو تموم کردم و واقعا باید ازش چه نتیجه‌ای بگیرم؟
شخصیت‌پردازی‌ها به شدت ضعیف بود. وان دچار یه تروما بود که به شدت روی رفتارش تاثیر داشت اما هیچ جوره این تروما رو برای بیننده توضیح دقیق ندادن.
چرا خِم به این راحتی به چاترا اعتماد کرد؟
چرا صاحب مان‌سوانگ یجا در حال همکاری با فروشندگان اسلحه بود و چند روز بعد مقابلشون؟
هونگ فقط برای گیر انداختن یه مهره‌ی ساده مثل پسرعموش مرگش رو جعل کرد؟ و بعد از اونهمه تلاش برای افشای هویت فروشنده و خریداران اسلحه جلوی شاه راما، تقریبا هیچ اتفاقی نیفتاد به جز اینکه وان بی دلیل و احمقانه کشته شد.
صحنه‌های احساسی انقدر بدون مقدمه و در موقعیت‌های نامناسب قرار داشت که هیچ تاثیری نمیذاشت.
و در نهایت قرار بود به داستان یک رقصنده و نوازنده پرداخته بشه که کل تبلیغاتی که در این زمینه شده بود محدود شد به یکی دو سکانس که واقعا حیف بود.

برای یک‌ بار دیدن خوبه.
ولی به هیچ عنوان هیچ انتظاری ازش نداشته باشید.

started of fun but soon got boring

i started watching this drama with a lot of excitement, because i loved the drama's: ''love you seven times'', and ''romance of a tiger and rose'' in which ding yu xi is the main lead like this one. but i stopped watching after about 20 episodes. the reason for this is because it got boring for me, they got together pretty soon and after that there wasnt happening much so for me that was the reason to stop watching it. ofc, i dont know what happend in the next episode's but i was pretty disapointed.

Queen Kim Ji Won

I'll be honest... I don't know what I am watching... I think it's somewhat boring...and messy...and basic...

but I can't stop staring at Kim Ji Won, lady cast a spell on me. Was she always this beautiful?? Damn...

My rating is purely for Queen KJW.
I will revise again when I complete the show... I hope it gets better… Kim Ji Won I am still here…

loved itt

I loved this drama..it's short and sweet...I'm not fan of very long dramas so this one was a short a plus for me
first of all I haven't watched the original so idk if this one has covered everything from the original drama..but if it did cover everything then hatss off to the maker of this drama since wrapping everything up within 8 eps that too like 20 mins each is no easy jobb

the actors were all nice...the story development was nice as well...just before this I watched "the director who buys me dinner" i didn't like it since it felt rushed and offered no development...while this one being almost the same length as the director who buys me dinner offered great development and the romance also didn't felt like it was just there for fansercice...the kisses ahhhhh gave me butterflies ahhh

but one thing to complain about is..the second couple like I like them but it just felt weird..like sunwoo says he can't date GO because GO is dating dohyeon but at the same time he also kisses him???? like doesn't makes sense...I didn't like that u don't kiss ur best friends mann bruhhh

You're gonna want to grab some popcorn and settle in for this one!

From the get-go, I was hooked. The storyline is refreshingly simple but oh-so-entertaining. It's like a breath of fresh air in a sea of overly complicated dramas. And let me tell you, those 12 episodes? They fly by faster than you can say "romantic comedy."

What really sets this drama apart is its realism. You know those moments in dramas where you're like, "That would never happen in real life"? Well, "See You Tomorrow" isn't about that life. The chemistry between the characters feels genuine, and the slow-burn romance? It's like watching your friends fall in love right before your eyes.

Speaking of characters, let's talk about them. They're not your typical cardboard cutouts. Nope, they're flawed, quirky, and downright lovable. And don't even get me started on the main couple. Sure, they might not have the most screen time together, but when they're on screen, sparks fly!

But here's the kicker: this drama isn't just about the main couple. The supporting characters? They steal the show. I'm talking laugh-out-loud moments, heartfelt interactions, the whole shebang. It's like you're part of their friend group, rooting for them every step of the way.

Now, I won't spoil the ending for you, but let's just say it's... satisfying. Sure, there might've been a moment or two where I was on the edge of my seat, but hey, isn't that what makes a drama exciting?

Oh, and did I mention the acting? Top-notch, my friends. These actors bring their A-game, delivering performances that'll have you laughing, crying, and everything in between.

So, if you're looking for a drama that's equal parts heartwarming and fun, "See You Tomorrow" is where it's at. Trust me, you won't regret it. After all, who doesn't love a good dose of romance, humor, and a little bit of drama thrown in for good measure?

A very heavy watch in the end

This drama was well done from a technical point of view, and the casting, settings, music and vibe are good. It began as a very enjoyable watch, but by the end it had become much too heavy for my taste. In the later weeks tragedy piled upon tragedy, and the closing episodes were almost maudlin. The main characters were denied almost any real joy at all. It left me feeling as I did at the end of Korean drama Winter Sonata, and ranks along with that as the most distraught conclusions to any dramas I have ever watched.

something so special

This is one the very few drama that Im giving a 10 solely because this drama made me feel things that no other drama did/could/will.
Maybe it was me relating to Uea's charecter, or me falling head over heels for King or just Netjames insane chemistry idk what it was but it definitely left a huge impression on me.
it became my comfort show despite the heavy themes.
Net's eyes are so expressive, the love and adoration King had for Uea was so clearly visible. They also had a very healthy and understanding relationship.
Considering there's most likely no more netjames in future, maybe this is all I'll have left as a wonderful memory of them both together.
May king and Uea live happily ever after ❤

Not for me

I didn't like that they used things that were happening in her mind and not for real to promote the show.
I find it so sad. The whole thing is just a story of abouse that goes on for 15 episode. The ending is lukewarm and i think is an insult to women that are cheated and abused...
She seems to be so accepting of her ex.... is sad.
The whole thing is a repetition of the same 3 concept for 16 episodes.
They gave us a love triangle for sh*t and giggle but it was useless. I would have prefered to not have it at all. They used the actor that plqyed dr. Roy to have an eye candy to attract spectator.

best kbl I've seen by far

if u find the the title n setting of the story off-putting, ignore it. don't wait forever like I did.

yes, yechan character is a bit of himbo but I found him endearing n ended up being my favorite thing about the show.

I laughed so much thru this n even wanted to cry during sad scenes. definitely great acting from all cast.

I ended up absolutely loving the countryside setting. so different from the usual bl settings like school grounds cafes clubs city life places.


I meant what I said: BEST KBL IVE EVER SEEN

an absolute gem I hope they make a special ep or s2 cuz I need more of these guys.

It was a bit disappointing.

This show was interesting, because I watched thinking it would be a simple “feel-good” show to watch over the weekend.
Things a bit complicated when the repetitive actions of men taking advantage of the innocence the female lead had, which might’ve just been the actress being way too naive. Her character seemed to portray a person who always did things out of a good heart, and repeatedly got into sketchy situations not knowing what can happen. (This did get a tiring.)
The rating I gave isn’t that high, mainly because I was very disappointed with the plot. Both leads in the movie didn’t persist pursuing each other, but rather just like each other from afar. Though there were times they tried to confront their emotions, they would shove it off the second one or the other expressed these feelings. My biggest thing was how the second lead male had more scenes with our female lead than the male lead himself. In a way, it seemed like it was made for the second male lead and the female lead. As soon as they got together, things were falling apart because now the second male lead refused to let the female lead chase her dreams, which is a bit wrong because he fell in love with her because of her innocence and passion. Their breakup was also very confusing because there wasn’t that much of a heartbreak as they both moved on after they lost someone close to them.

Comedy with a sad ending

I'm literally heartbroken in tears that the girl still wouldn't turn back into human even after 50 years ??????? it's because the pair of machines actually belong to four aliens, and one day on their planet would be 50 years on Earth. They would not be able to restore her on Earth immediately, instead they have to take everything back to their planet and recharge the machines. Another heartbreaking moment in the ending is that while the admirer has become a famous singer, after 50 years he met the granddaughter of his first fan (the high school girl who saw him on steet), and the first fan already passed away.

Disappointing Despite Star-studded Cast

Premise: Did not read the web series

Was throughly impressed with the First 3 Episodes. CWS & SSK are such amazing actors that I was immediately captivated and brought their world. Absolutely enjoyed the directing which were movie-esque - especially in first few murders; such as the slow-mo scenes & cut scene of likening Lee Tang to a dog. The introduction of SYO (blind lady); who btw was brillantly acted by JYS, brought good tension and progression to the show.

However, for me, it all started going downhill with the introduction of Roh Bin. Understand that it is somewhat a fiction drama (with Tang's "powers") but it was incredibly unbelievable that a one man(?) hacker, someone so naive, someone watched by the Police, someone inspired by Batman, would be able to aid vigilante murders... To me, it felt like drama instantly crumbled in terms of realism/sophistication. It could have been so much more with the budget awailable..

Overall, still a reasonable watch in my books, esp with the amazing cast whose perofrmance was top notch.

Unique Story-telling That Fell Off

Will start off by praising the Writer's creativity and bravery in attempting a drama that is mostly focused on one setting (The raid of JJM's home). This isn't commonly done in KDramas as it's not easy crafting enough content to keep viewers engrossed without getting bored. Flashbacks were mostly appropriately spaced out in between the spectacular action scenes to provide some change of pace. Personally, I enjoyed the backstory and dynamics of JJE & Pashin - it was more relatable to me then the inexplicably strained(?) relationship btw JJE & JJM. As aforementioned, the action scenes are definitely the highlights of this drama despite some of the obvious plotholes/troupes that were haphazardly patched over (such as the miltary exercise cover, bad guys going 1-by-1 to die etc.).

Not surprisingly, the Writing is also the Con that let down this drama. In my opinion, too many side characters were introduced without a proper/believable backstory or use such as the Shadow Organization's Director, a random deaf "Brother", and the taxi driver... Many of the subplots were also not well-covered such as JJM's fake death, escape path that led back into the house (?), Bale's incredulous survival and decision to get revenge after many years etc.

The main gripe I had was how obvious it was that JJM wasn't really dead. I mean he is listed as the ML but only appeared spottedly in the first 5 eps in flashbacks... I found myself constantly awaiting his "heroic return" and thus felt episodes drag as it whiffed into the 2nd half. In general, the plot did not deviate from common expecations - no real plot twists (I'm not counting JJM's "revival").

Overall, I still think it is a very watchable drama - just based on the action scenes alone. Casting & Acting was also superb esp for JJE - she always looks so vulnerable. Just temper expecations and watch with an open mind (:

Final random thought: The repeated usage of "Listen Up, JJE" was seriously cringe for me. Felt they overplayed it way too much...
