I love how they put sexual innuendos in this drama
I watched this drama because my friend recommend Wu Yuhang works and saying he is tissue brand ambassador in this drama or to put it explicitly dai fei kei man, He Ling Yao is good kisser but Wu Yuhang was quite wild in this drama. His kisses was full of affection rather than lust which is kind of rare case on short drama. (Lin Fensong was included in this case that's why i enjoy his drama). It's not one of those intimate scenes that are intensely sexual but make you feel uncomfortable watching and its not just the sake for add the kisses for sake for buzz but it was related to the story.The plot was actually average about secret marriage office romance between cold killer but doting husband ML and meek rabbit FL but scriptwriter has skill to make this drama more entertaining. This director of this drama have skill about how to put nuances scene especially in those intimate scenes. There is many sexual innuendo scene in this drama which i don't mind at all since ML was borderline cannot control himself when he near FL. The Banana scene was too hilarious. The plot was okay in the first but it kind of dragged for a few minutes in the middle but they keep on track again. I was too relate about those poor office co-workers.
For the characteristic, ML is a top-tier character he was too clingy to FL and kept his image in office and FL is also incredibly intelligent. They've been childhood sweethearts, so even though some people try to sow discord, FL always believes in the ML always keeping quiet and never misunderstanding him, except for ML getting jealous while digging for wild vegetables. Most importantly, they completely trust each other and aren't easily swayed by others .I liked how ML handled his own enemies.
For the cons, thoses scars are quite lazy works for VFX people.
Recommended to watch.

A CAST OF PRETTY BOYS WITH FINALLY A GOOD PLOT
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SERIES LIKE A CLOWN đ€Ą because I genuinely thought we were about to get some erotic horror ritual-core nonsense. Like⊠demons, sex magic, chanting and thrusting in the same breath. DAYUMMMMM was I wrong??? Not really⊠but also YES??? My expectations were in hell and this show said âsit down.âFirst of all. FIRST. OF. ALL.
KENG.
Why is this man built like a luxury mannequin that came to life and chose violence. His face is ILLEGAL. The visuals are so sharp I feel like I need a license to look at him. Every time he opens his mouth, I feel something in my stomach. Butterflies? Anxiety? Ovulation? I donât know. Science needs to study this. And DMD??? Oh they know what theyâre doing with pairings. So DO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NAMPING AND KENG?
HELL NAWWWW.
Letâs unwrap this series the way Keng unwraps people with his eyes. Slowly. Intentionally. Threateningly.
____________________________________________________
a) Plot
DARLINGGGGG THE TRAILER CLICKBAITED ME A LITTLE BIT. I thought they had to smash to break a curse. I really sat there thinking, âSo they need to do the deed to exorcise the ghost?â LMAOOOOO my brain needs holy water. But honestly? What we got was actually better.
The story revolves around Khem, our fragile ghost-magnet princess, who can see spirits and is basically a walking haunted house. Ghosts love him. They obsess over him. They stalk him. He is the IT BOY of the spirit world. And unfortunately, one particular ghost, Ramphueng, has karmic beef with him from a past life. Sis said, âYou wronged me before, now I will haunt you until your bloodline ends.â Petty? Yes. Dedicated? Also yes.
Apparently, Khem is destined to die before 21 because this ghost is not playing around. So his bestie Jet, MVP behavior, goes âLetâs see my master.â Enter Peem. The master. The shaman. The man. The face card. The voice that could command both spirits and me. Khem goes to get help and instead catches feelings. Because of course he does. Imagine trying not to fall in love with a man who chants mantras while looking like that. Impossible.
The pacing? Slow burn but not boring. Every episode has a peak moment that makes you sit up like âoh???â The angst? DELICIOUS. The plot twists? GURL. I had to PAUSE. My jaw dropped so hard I couldâve inhaled a mosquito. Episodes 10 to 12 went DARK dark. I was watching at night like, âWhy am I doing this to myself? I have work tomorrow.â But miss girl also needs to justify that IQIYI subscription.
The opening scenes were actually scary. I had to fast forward because I live alone and I value my sleep.
And yes, I said it. This can compete with Triage.
Now⊠the last episode? A little cringe. Iâm sorry. I love you but I cringed. Still forgivable though.
____________________________________________________
b) Characters
- Khemjira played by Namping Napatsakorn
He is PRETTY. Like delicate pretty. He gives Gun from GMMTV vibes in certain angles. But sometimes⊠his face goes blank. The tears are there but I need MESS. I need snot. I need ugly crying. Instead heâs crying like heâs scared to mess up his skincare routine. And why is he fixing his hair mid emotional breakdown. Sir. Your life is in danger. Your hairline will survive. Even during intimate scenes Iâm like âLET IT BE MESSY.â The man is about to risk his life and his hair still has better discipline than me.
Character-wise, Khem is VERY fragile. Which fits the story but sometimes Iâm like âBABY STAND UP.â The show is literally named after you. I get the trauma. I get the fear. But sometimes I needed him to stop spiraling and let Peem handle business. Episode 11 almost had him crossing that holy thread and Monk Kasem had to drag him back spiritually and emotionally. Thank you monk sir because what was that behavior.
Cute. Soft. But not my favorite personality.
- Peem played by Keng Harit
OOOOOFFFFFF. This man is fine. His voice??? Deep. Calm. Controlled. I swear he acts with his voice alone. When he chants mantras Iâm convinced heâs actually summoning something. Maybe my downfall. His acting feels so natural that I refuse to believe this is his first rodeo. He doesnât overdo it. He doesnât underdo it. He just IS Peem. Strong foundation. Stoic at first, heart of stone energy, then slowly softens for Khem. Watching him fall in love was so satisfying because he fought it. He had principles. He had promises to keep to his grandpapi. He had morals. And yet⊠feelings won.
Character development done RIGHT. Not dramatic personality transplant. Just subtle softening. Love that.
- Jet played by FirstOne Wannakorn
WHY does this man look like Mix and Off combined in a lab experiment. I kept staring at his face like âYou look familiar but in two different fonts.â Jet is chaotic best friend energy. Number one KhemPeem shipper. Protective. Loud. Goofy. But when itâs serious? He switches up fast. The way he wakes up instantly when Khem sleepwalks? THAT is best friend goals. His relationship with Charn though⊠blink and theyâre in bed. Iâm not complaining but I needed more build up. A little tension. A little âoh?â before âOH.â
- Charn played by Tle Matimun
Why does he look like Pepper from GMMTV? Why is DMD collecting look-alikes like Pokémon cards?
He can be a bit stiff but not unbearable. His character is actually interesting. Nerd vibes. Suddenly discovers he has some sixth sense ability. Starts training with Peem. Slightly random but okay we move. Heâs not the most memorable for me but he fits.
- Yos played by Pung Phirunwat
SOMEONE GIVE THIS MAN MORE SCREEN TIME. He is so cute it hurts. Soft face. Soft aura. Soft everything. I wanted more from him. More scenes. More depth. Maybe even a dramatic sacrifice arc. Iâm writing fanfiction in my head because the show didnât give me enough.
His backstory? Painful. One-sided love will always ruin me.
- Khachen played by Net Siraphop
HELLO??? I forgot how fine Net is. He shows up and suddenly Iâm alert. His comedic timing as Khachen was actually so refreshing. That fake sleeping scene while Jet and Charn were talking? ICONIC. That little smile? Naughty but adorable.
Lowkey wish they teased a future pairing for him. Just a snippet. As a treat.
____________________________________________________
c) OST
The OST slaps. Itâs atmospheric. Spooky. Dramatic. Am I downloading it? No. Because I refuse to invite ghost vibes into my room at 2AM. I like peace.
____________________________________________________
d) The intimacy and chemistry
- Keng x Namping
The chemistry is STRONG. Especially considering this is their first project together. The tension. The eye contact. The small touches. And when that handjob scene popped up I literally froze. My jaw dropped. My soul left my body and came back five business days later.
DMD does not play around with intimate scenes and I was NOT mentally prepared.
- Tle x FirstOne
The chemistry is there physically. The scenes? Whew. But emotionally I needed more. It felt a bit rushed. Still cute though.
____________________________________________________
e) Overall
CGI? Solid. Ghost design? Creepy enough to make me side-eye my dark hallway. Plot twists? Effective. Angst? Chefâs kiss. Not many plot holes either.
Would I rewatch? Iâm conflicted. I donât usually rewatch unless Iâm OBSESSED. This one has me half in, half out. But it did hook me hard while airing.
Final rating: 9/10.

Offbeat, Absurd, and Absolutely Addictive
I absolutely loved this! Itâs exactly the kind of offbeat, quirky story I enjoy. So many sequences were hilarious and absurd, and it never missed a beat. The on-screen dialogue and deliveries perfectly matched the humor intended in the script. And despite its lighter arcs, the narrative and central conflicts remained engaging, with a satisfying number of shocking twists that elevated the storyline.The series centers on zodiac or celestial powers, hidden identities, power struggles, and subtle coming-of-age themes. Friendships are tested, alliances are formed, and several characters are challenged by fate and acceptance. My only critique is that I wish there had been a second season. The ending doesnât provide full closure, and a few hinted revelations clearly set the stage for a continuation. Still, I would rate this very high. I only wish more directors today created dramas like this one.

He multiplied â in guilt, in lies, in every shattered life he left behind.
Regeneration is not your typical revenge thriller â itâs a psychological autopsy.Storyline wise, the drama begins with the mysterious death of a man whose life was built on deception. But instead of focusing on how he died, the story looks through the kaleidoscope of who he really was. A group of people who were connected to him gathered, and which followed a slow-burning unraveling of lies, manipulation, betrayal, and emotional destruction. This isnât just a fast-paced action thriller, itâs a mind game! A layered chessboard of truth vs. perception.
Each character carried a wound. And as the narrative shifted between past and present, we, the audience realize that the dead man wasnât just living a double life, he was living multiple lives, tailored perfectly to exploit everyone around him and himself. No one is innocent. Everyone has their own secrets they were trying to hide.
What makes Regeneration gripping is that its strong foundation and its overall structure. The storytelling felt almost theatrical â confined settings, heavy dialogues, long silences loaded with tension. Itâs the kind of drama where a single stare can feel more violent than a slap.
The psychological weight is intense. You constantly question:
âWho is lying?
âWho is pretending?
âAnd who is the real victim?
đźStrengths:
âąBrilliant layered writing
âąComplex, morally grey characters
âąStrong performances that relied on subtle expressions rather than melodramatic explosions
âąA haunting atmosphere that still lingers even after you finish the drama
â ïž Flaws:
The pacing could feel slow if you expect constant twists back to back. Dialogue heavy scenes might not appeal all the viewers who prefers action over talking.
But honestly? The slow burn works in its favor. The tension simmered instead of exploding, and that made the emotional build-up more intense. The actors were brilliant throughout. Their each and every expression, dialogues echoes in your as you finish watching. That's all I can say without spoiling anything.
Overall, it's a brilliant thriller piece that will keep you hooked from the beginning till the end. There's no way one can feel bored. Highly recommended suspense thriller!

Wish the unwritten story kept continuing.
Being a Park Bo Young fan, I watched it for her and it did not dissapoint.The show handled all the sub stories with maturity.
Park Bo Young as usual was stunning in her performance, and I loved the awkward and cute romance a lot. Would have surely loved a bit more affection from Mi-Rae too, but that was cute too.
I think if this was a sixteen episode show, they could have dived in and explored the mother daughter dynamic more. Be it the realationship between the Mi-Ji's mother and grandmother or Mi-ji and Mi-Rae's realtionship with their mother. Their emotional turmoil in a longer show could have been a more robust feature to explore, but in this show it was done well. Rather than a single outburt of raw emotion, Mi Ji deserved a more substantiated resolution for her relationship with her mother. Her mother's shame, and disinterest that Mi Ji felt all those years need to be resolved with multiple different attempts. Her mother's character was sort of justified, but I felt that she needed to have that-longer-talk with her mother, because she carried for probably fifty years the pain of being born a woman/daughter. Which extended onto her daughters, even though she might not have wanted that.
I might have missed it, but how did se-jin realize it was Mi-Rae who worked with him? Depite my confusion, it was a nice touch that he got her name right only when called her by her actual name. Meaning alike Ho Su he too can differentiate between the twins.
When a show satisfies me, I tend to not have much to say. I was interested in the story enough that I may have missed out on its flaws but that is for another watch. I do wish it was a longer show, but I wish everyshow I watch is a longer show.
Ciao â°(âââ)âŻ.

Long awaited drama turns into disaster. Was it worth, the wait?
EP 1-5. This is a long review, so please bear it with me =)What a waste of young great actors (T ^ T)
I dropped this show after few episode tried to skip and continue, but still couldnât get into it. No matter what, I couldnât stop complainingâŠ
The first episode minutes felt great, but then it felt like blank. I should praise Bao Shang En, I saw how much she trained for the wuxia - fighting scenes!
If u donât wanna read the whole review â The plot, editing and scenes as wells as acting has major problems. Literally â whole dramas.
They're not telling a good story properly,
Iâm reading the novel as well â itâs better than the drama.
The exceptions are the cinematography and OST
The background and world-building are unclear, the pacing is chaotic, and the plot keeps jumping, new events appear without any explanation.
the acting is just awful! Maybe itâs not the actors fault, but the scriptsâŠI must say before judging, FLâs lines were excellent, I kept praising her character, but later all the Conversations and dialogues went off, they are always the sameâŠI was dizzy from all this drama. Later it was so unbearable that I just could only forward it. the ML feels under-written. After watching Zhou Yiran's few dramas, TL, Reborn, Wifty and this one, I can say there's something wrong hereâŠHis acting is actually good, but here, I canât say like it isâŠIs itâs the filming or the scenes that theyâre like this? The male lead scenes are just cringy; his dramatic scenes are choppy, and the constant head-cutting makes him seem even worse.
Finally why Iam even here? ^^
The only thing why Iam here, itâs because of the trailerâs chemistry, but rn I just feel cringey.
Maybe itâs too early to judge the drama, but I just canât otherwiseâŠI keep editing this review while hour, it would be a waste not to post :(

A love that proves you can conquer everything as long as you have each other
What I liked the most about this drama is that despite all the deceptions and evil plots among the characters, the main leads still remain consistent with their love and trust for each other until the end. The plot twists were so unexpected but I'm just glad they never once hurt each other and had each other's back. I'm gonna miss their love story. Although the last few episodes were a bit dragging but it highlighted ML's background and how much he was willing to give up for his love for the FL. It also showed how FL loved him so much by being by his side when he needed support from her. ML is such a green flag and I just cried at the end knowing they can finally be with each other. We stan a strong, independent FL who is always clear-headed from the beginning until the end.Was this review helpful to you?
Based on true events
*A Taxi Driver* was such a powerful watch, and knowing that itâs based on real events makes it even more meaningful. Thereâs something about films rooted in true history that hits differently, youâre not just watching a story unfold, youâre witnessing something that actually shaped lives.Before this movie, I had never really heard about the Gwangju Uprising (also known as the Gwangju Student Independence Movement). After watching it, I found myself reading more about it, wanting to understand the real history behind what I had just seen. Thatâs one of the reasons I love movies based on true events they donât just entertain you, they educate you. They open a door to history in a way textbooks sometimes donât.
Be prepared to cry. This film is emotional. While parts of the taxi driverâs personal storyline were fruits of fantasy, since the real-life driver was never formally identified and didnât actually meet the journalist again, the core political events and historical context remain true.
Song Kang-ho is, as always, absolutely phenomenal. Iâve loved him ever since Memories of Murder, and he was perfectly cast here. He brings warmth, humor, fear, and transformation to the role in a way that feels so natural.
I donât want to give away too much of the story even though itâs based on real history, I think itâs best experienced firsthand.

Ten out of fucking ten lmao
I don't care if I sacrificed my sleep schedule for this series, but it was so worth it. I was a little scared to start the 3rd season because of the backlash from the fans, and after watching it, THEY ARE SO DRAMATIC. If you don't get any basic points of the characters, or their relationship, you're just dumb. But some things weren't understandable for sure ,for example why did Usagi return to the games for his father??? Maybe i'll have to do some research about that. Yeah but so arisu and usagi's relationship is so heartwarming. When arisu decided to sacrifice himself to get usagi out of the last game, I remembered their first meeting, cute moments, that and I just got so emotional lolololol. The last scene where arisu takes interviews from OUR LOVESSS, I cried. I love this series smmmm. So yeah 10 out of 10Was this review helpful to you?

Truth doesn't equal Accountability
Though at the core this drama is of FL whose family is massacred and she is out for revenge, the revenge story is told through series of cases solved by FL and ML rather than a straightforward vengeance arc. Each case stands on it own as well and all these come together and build something heavier and unsettling.This is a deeply female centric drama. FL Is the intelligent martial arts well versed person whereas the ML is more like an intelligent companion who uses his knowledge and memory and observation kills to help the ML. Individual cases are not just mysteries to be solved , they expose how women were oppressed and abused in palaces and by men in power. And how men in power used other women to trap, lure, target weak women and families to abuse women and keep their chain going. The writing and drama doesn't sugar coat it at all. As viewers watch cases unfold, FL investigated these cases, risks her life, everything to uncover the truth, but despite that Justice never truly gets served.
This drama's central theme gets beautifully summed up by FL in the end when she says
âWhatâs the point of uncovering the truth when no one actually gets justice?â
Wrongdoers do not always receive the punishment they deserve. Itâs a frustrating truth, but also a painfully realistic one. In that sense, the drama feels incredibly relevant to present times, where powerful networks protect their own and truth does not always equal accountability.
Bai Lu delivers one of her most restrained yet powerful performances here. Her character is a woman shaped by survival â someone forced to protect herself while still maintaining her compassion.What I appreciated most was how layered she felt;Guarded, but not cold. Strong, but not invulnerable. Caring toward her princess friend, her subordinates, and the empress who raised her. She carries the revenge arc, and it feels earned. This is very much her story. she reminded me many times of Ling Bu Yi from LLTG. The ML played by Wang Xin Yue plays a reserved, poker-faced astronomer who avoids court politics but gets pulled into investigations because of his sharp observational skills and intellect.He performs the role well â but it does feel somewhat familiar. If youâve seen him in other dramas, you may feel heâs treading similar ground. Itâs not disappointing, just not particularly expansive in terms of showing new acting range.
The leads begin flirting early, but it evolves into a slow-burn dynamic built on intellectual compatibility and quiet support.
Thereâs no dramatic, over-the-top passion â itâs more about being on the same wavelength, mutual respect,shared understanding. It feels like regular more realistic love.
Fight scenes are well choreographed.Costumes are detailed and thoughtfully aligned with each case and its themes. The pacing remains steady throughout.
Overall one of the best female centric drama which doesn't reduce ML into some weak person or doesn't make the FL into a toxic masculine character. On one hand the drama shows the cruelty and oppression of women by men, also on the other hand it shows the men and women who help rescue them. A well balanced drama in that aspect of showing the power of feminine with help amd support of the masculine.
Rating 8.7/10

Not even gonna sugar coat ts
Honestly the worse show I've ever watched. And that's a feat for me who rates everything 10/10 cause I can't be asked. It's boring and just boring. Actings trash too. Id skip ahead and they'd still be in the same scene and playing the same background music for 20 minutes. And I tried watching this 3 times, it's 2026...this came out in 2024. 2 years I've been trying get through episode 2 and I fall asleep every damn time. It was torture. Slice of life done bad, how uneventful. I'm not one of those, just skip this persons. Actually I want you to watch it just so u can come back and tell me I was right. Go on ahead.0.5 /10 highly recommend
Acting so terrible, 1 star cause atleast they showed up
Story was good but they did nothing with it
Music = repetitive
Rewatch value? Can't I rate 0 stars on here?
Overall is 0.5, whcih I can't even rate that low, even mdl doesn't believe a show could be this bad

A Journey to Love and Loss
A Journey to Love is a wuxia romance that will probably go down in history as one of the better dramas in the genre despite its controversial ending. After all, it has an engaging story, endearing characters, superb fight choreography, and a great balance of humor and drama with found-family tropes and heartwrenching emotional beats. I put off watching this for three years, knowing how divisive the ending is. But I finally gave in when I decided to go on a Liu Yuning drama binge. I have to say, I'm glad I did. The ending did indeed disappoint a little, but I'm getting ahead of myself.The story starts off with Ren Ruyi, an elusive and enigmatic spy/assassin set on revenge and determined to unleash hell on those responsible for her demise. By chance, she meets Ning Yuan Zhou, a former rival and the indomitable chief of an opposing organization, and perhaps the only one who could best her in a one-on-one face-off. She finds herself going on a critical diplomatic mission with him and his chosen team of elite warriors to accompany a timid princess for the sake of a kingdom. Not gonna lie, this plot reminded me somewhat of Star Wars and that's one of the reasons I was drawn to it. But it proved to be so much more! It has two of the best-written female leads I've seen in a while and one of the best performances from Liu Yuning.
Princess Yang Ying and Ren Ruyi represent two types of strong female characters, one is a seemingly weak political pawn who learns to take control of her own life, and the other is a fearless warrior who shows vulnerability, and admits her loneliness and desire to rely on others. I rarely see that in C-dramas or in any medium these days. It's always the badass Mary Sue who is basically a woman written with male characteristics or the damsel in distress waiting to be saved. Yang Ying's character development is the best I've seen to date. She grows from being the frightened princess that everyone bullies into a powerful leader and strategist. He Lan Dou is a revelation to me in this role. I certainly would want to see her in another project again.
Ruyi, on the other hand, may have the prowess of a male character, but she keeps her undeniably feminine charms, and displays weakness and emotional turmoil. She realizes that she's not indestructible and has to depend on others in times of distress. Liu Shishi is brilliant as the best assassin of the Crimson Guard. She absolutely sells the badassery of the character and she does look like a true martial artist, reminding me of Michelle Yeoh when she was younger. Her relationship with Ning Yuan Zhou is the foundation of this drama. Similarly, Yuan Zhou is an interesting well-fleshed out character. Despite his obvious masculinity and dominance, he is not the least bit misogynistic like most men of his time. He is not embarrassed to be bested by a woman or follow her orders because he judges people based on their characters and capabilities, not their gender or station. He is, in all sense of the term, a good man. As Ruyi states in one scene, there is only one Ning Yuan Zhou, a truly rare gem, and a feminist at that, among manly men of that era. And Liu Yuning shines in this role. No wonder this is considered his breakthrough performance that garnered him acting awards and critical acclaim as an actor.
But the real draw of this drama to me is the found-family trope, and the boys of Six Realms Hall completely endeared themselves to me. Fang Yi Lun, who kinda looks like a cross between Hyun Bin and Yamapi, is the standout for sure! He almost steals this show from Yuning... almost. He is so adorably flamboyant that I just couldn't help but love him. I had to rack my brain to remember where I've seen him before, later realizing that I first saw him in The Longest Promise. Chen You Wei as Yuan Lu is my second favorite among the bunch. His chemistry with He Lan Dou half carried the show for me. They were my ship!
The production in this drama is not particularly outstanding, but the fight choreography is impressive. I don't see these kinds of fight scenes in wuxia dramas anymore. These days, they rely too heavily on special effects that wuxia dramas feel more like video games than the ones I used to watch as a kid. I'm not overly fond of this change. Although I did notice that in some scenes, Yuning was moving strangely due to the injury he suffered while shooting the series, it didn't hinder me from enjoying the drama.
The music is one of its strong suits. I can still hear the cool Ren Xin/Ruyi theme playing in my head even as I write this review. And of course the songs from Yuning and Jason Zhang are now included in my C-music playlist.
But as all war stories go, this does not end well. Personally, I don't mind the tragic ending. I actually like that there are real stakes involved and no plot armors for the main cast. This was a suicide mission from the start and they knew it. My complaint is not how it ends but how they come to that conclusion. The last few episodes felt like they were written by a different screenwriter. It's as if the original writer left them in a lurch and someone had to take over and quickly end the drama. The narrative style changed as well as the pacing like there were key scenes missing but were purposely taken out to meet the 40-episode limit. And that ambiguous dream sequence-ish ending seemed totally out of place. Just tell us they died and became heroes! Period. If they really wanted to go that route, then at least put the right characters in that scene not Chu Yue who barely knew the main characters except Yu Shi San, and wasn't even introduced to the story until much later. They could've at least chosen to show Princess Yang Ying and Li Tong Guang with the boy. The dream could've been a symbolic passing of the torch from masters to their pupils. That last scene was just off no matter how hard they tried to make it emotional. That was NOT it! The drama would've been one of the best C-dramas ever made if they had only managed to stick the landing. But even so, I would still consider this an accomplishment. As a whole, it is still a great watch and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good wuxia drama with compelling characters.

New gamessss
Love how we get to see our fellow characters bonding. This season was nothing but a gem. One of the best things was, we get to see another characters POV, for example Chishiya, or Ann. Loved ittt. Also the ending, made me question about lot of things. Like the croquet match with Mira. The actors are super good, I should have watched this series much soonerWas this review helpful to you?
