I think it was really good series <3

I think it was really good series <3
The drama made me think soo much for every minute I was watching. The tensions between the main leads (wi ha joon, ji Chang wook , Im se mi, Bibi) it was really interesting and thrilling. This series really has a good story line , although you will think it pretty obvious but actually it wasn't!

The show was mostly focused on the development between our undercover officer junmo and the drug dealer jung gi cheol which is really nice to watch ...
The action scenes were just Chef's Kiss , they were soo nicely directed and acted cuz while watching the bloody scenes I was feeling soo tensed therefore it didn't got me bored also ...
I would recommend this drama to the people who like to watch action scenes and yes this drama will teach you the real meaning the word 'Betrayal'

SPOILER ALERT (READ THIS ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE WATCHED THE DRAMA) I think people are targeting the female lead too much but why don't they see that junmo was also helping Lee hae ryeun to escape the country. And also the ending where people thought that the divorce scene was unnecessary but it was really important as they should pay for their sins for playing with someone's heart then it doesn't matter what your job is !!

I really enjoyed this drama, if you love JCW then you should definitely give it a try ?

The best cdrama

I love it so much and am hoping for those two to make an another cdrama again like historical that has a happy ending. I love the ending how he remembers her and so does she. I really wanted them to end up in heaven in stead of earth. This is apparently the CDRAMA I was looking for. Ding yuxi fit the role and he’s perfectly good for any role. Hope ding yuxi keep on acting and be healthy. I love it so much and am hoping for those two to make an another cdrama again like historical that has a happy ending.

Beautiful Story and portraying of the characters ⭐️❤️

Just finished watching on Netflix and had to leave my review here. As a psychologist and health care worker I would like to give kudos to the actors, they really portrayed their characters so well. Loved the ending quote about “being on the border of what is normal and abnormal”. This quote really summed up the topic on mental health. Also loved how the series covered the stigma that families of patients with mental illness faces and how it shows the importance of family being involved in the patients journey. I often have to explain to people that people with mental illness are not different, and their mental illness arises from multiple factors like environmental factors, social factors, institutional factors which were beautifully portrayed in the series. So what then is the concept of what is norma and what is abnormal which originated from phenomenology back in the past from where mental ill patients were seen as abnormal and thereby isolated, some where even seen as witches and has to be burned on a stake.
Sorry for the ranting, just love watching series that speaks about mental health, series like this helps in sharing awareness about what mental health is and the stigma that comes with being mentally ill. ???????????

This was fantastic

I’m embarrassed to say that I put this one on hold after watching the first couple episodes. One of my biggest dislkes is someone pretending to be something they aren’t. So, once I saw where it was going I put it on hold.

I just went back to it and binged watched the rest of the 32 episodes in a few days. This was incredible.

I am now the biggest Yoo Seoung Ho fan on the planet. That man can act! This role required him to: 1) act like a cold and demanding boss, 2) act like someone who is lonely with no social skills, 3) act like a spoiled child, 4) act like a child experiencing happiness for the first time, 5) act like a child being inquisitive and learning new things for the first time, 6) falling in love for the first time, 7) being completely heartbroken, and 8) being intelligent and compassionate.

HIS EYES ARE THE MOST EXPRESSIVE I HAVE EVER SEEN. His crying scenes nearly broke me.

The rest of the cast did a great job too. This is one of the best I have watched.

Re-watch worthy? Absolutely not.

(Please understand that this is my own opinion and what I enjoy and prefer in a series, I do not shame people who loved and enjoyed this series)

I got a suggestion to try this drama and I feel like I have been scammed. Dropped it immediately.

The plot, the acting, and the overall interest and chemistry for me were practically a zero. I couldn't make myself watch past episode 3. I tried to enjoy it and I even gave it chances to be more interesting, but I just couldn't see myself enjoying the rest of the episodes.

The story and the way it was presented was a basic approach and I felt like I had nothing to be excited about for the upcoming episodes. Overall the story felt dry and moving too fast.

The chemistry between the main leads was null and void. I just didn't seem connected enough with the characters and the acting to make me believe in the story that they were presenting as a couple.

Overall the three episodes that I have seen seemed like they were moving too fast for no apparent reason, with no interesting plot and chemistry that didn't even exist.

Would I ever try to watch it again? Absolutely no.

Re-watch worthy? Yes.

The major thing that I disliked the most was probably the story. Everything happened way too quickly at the very start of the series. The whole 'curse' was thrown at us so unexpectedly that I didn't even take it seriously. I think the best decision that the writers could have made to improve the story was to go more in-depth to either the whole 'curse' of the school or stick to the school's strict guidelines and follow Ayan's uncle's story. With this in mind, the plot would be a lot more different, but I think that for ME to fully enjoy 100% of this series they would need to either take out the whole curse or fully develop it and make it more enjoyable to watch. Overall I think the series is interesting to watch and the chemistry between the characters is wonderful. Would I choose to re-watch it? Yes, yes I would.

Not what I was expecting

I hope this isn’t going to be the norm for GMMTV BL series now. Too mature. I love my sweet, cute, funny GMM actors. There was very little of that. The storylines for each couple was dark and intense. Lots of backstabbing and lies. Focused mainly on addiction. Alcoholism, Drug use, and Sex addiction. Some of it was resolved, some not. My heart broke for Nick and I was disappointed there was no happy ending for him. Hopefully he got together with his coworker. He seemed nice. I’m sure lots of people like this but I was too upset the whole time to enjoy it.

izleyin lütfen (please Watch)

(this comment is turkish)

son zamanlarda dizilerin bence kalitesi düşmüştü ancak bu diziyle anladım ki, hâla daha iyi yapımlar varmış.

konusu farklı ve ilgi çekici. ana karakterimiz olan Jom’un, restorasyonunu yaptığı evin eski sahibinin zamanına gitmesi ile başlıyor her şey. kendini başka bir zaman da bulan jom afallasa da zamanla kendini aile gibi hissetiği bir yer olacaktır orası. ve tabiki de gerçek aşkının da olduğu zaman. evin oğlu Yai ye bağlanacaktır kalbi. sizce aşkları zamana takılımı kalacaktır yoksa, sonsuzluğa mı dayanacaktır?

ben cidden çok severek izledim. dizinin müzikleri zaten çok güzledi öncelikle. yani yapmak için yapmamışlar belli. çok özenli ve gerçek gruplar, gerçek şarkıcılar tarafından seslendirilmiş şarkılardan bahsediyorum.

oyunculuklar da baya iyiydi. ana karakterlerini canlandıran oyuncuları ilk kez izledim ancak söylemeliyim ki baya iyiler. çok güzel canlandırdılar karakterleri. duyguları hep hissetim.

spoi: yai’nin sarhoş olduğu akşam Jom’la olan konuşması en sevdiğim sahnelerden biri. hatta belki ilkidir. “jomm..” “khun yai” “here is my jom… (işte buradaymış benim Jom’um… )”

Solid Start

I've been in a bit of a KDrama slump lately, so I've been looking for a show that I can get past the first week of, and so far, "Moon in the Day" looks to be that show. The best part right now is the acting; Pyo Ye Jin and Kim Young Dae are great in the first episodes and have good chemistry. They were the main draw for me to give this show a try, and they didn't disappoint. Where I do hope the show can improve is in the story. It's not bad, but a little convoluted at this point, and even with a 14-episode order, I worry that the show might end up overextending itself. So, despite a few issues, I enjoyed these first episodes as they were also pretty funny, and the flashback scenes were well done, doing a good job differentiating the time periods while making both parts interesting.

I never thought my first official 10/10 would be a non-LGBT drama

I had only watched two K-Dramas (non -BL) and I was interested because I knew it wasn't a conventional show. This was so good. The story was impecable, the ACTING??? Flawless. I usually don't like it when a typical person portrays an autistic one, but just like in Attorney Woo the actors did a great job. I loved everything about it.
Let's start with the stop-motion animations, which were so well done and dark and beautiful.
I love how the writers actually knew about pathological/neural disorders. No one ever talks about how PTSD and autism can be similar, but they did. Also there's usually a pattern in which it's always a crazy woman and a "normal" guy who can "fix her", but this time they made sure we knew that he wasn't normal at all. They went through so much shit and we know that they couldn't actually heal each other, but fighting together is better than alone (and they made that very clear, they were not fixing each other, but embracing who they were and trying to live a happy life). I cried so many times because I, myself, am neurodivergent and have a personality disorder, so I could relate too much to all of them.
I loved that they managed to show the back story of the patients in the hospital as well, that just proved that the point of the drama was not only about the romance (actually a lot of things show that).
I also liked the plot twist a lot. I was expecting it, but I think my brain just thought "omg it would be so crazy if the mom was her, right? lol" it was a lucky guess, I think. I just thought she had too much screen time for a side character.
But for me, the best part was Ko Moon Yeon's books. Those were absolutely great. The way her stories were for children but in a dark way and they apply perfectly with life and were so INTENSE. I think I might've cried with almost every story they narrated.
What they did to Sang-Tae at the end got me very emotional, knowing he would get his independence (an he actually wanted this, he was the one who asked for it) and knowing that he would be in good care, even without his brother was very healing.
Watch it.

Hatred, romance and hope

With the premise that I was myself victim of bullying (even though not this cruel), I must admit the satisfaction of this drama. From the absolutely relatable hatred towards the bullies to her strength to actually seek revenge, I've loved everything about "The Glory".

The hope that the main character had in her adolescence made me rethink about my life: she was able to get out of that situation, and despite it all she became stronger day by day. I admire her so much, I wouldn't be able to save myself, especially if I was completely alone like her.

Apart from this, she had the mental sanity and clarity to plan a revenge, which even though we can't properly see in this first season, we can foreshadow it'll be fantastic. She remained strong even when confronting her bullies face to face, so strong that didn't snap and kill them right there and then. Even though, my personal opinion, it would've satisfied my need.

Although it was a very difficult journey she stayed loyal to her feelings of hatred and fury.

I love this kind of dramas, where the protagonist's only purpose in life is revenge. It shows that no life is pitiful, just different from ours. It dimonstrates that someone is born to accomplish great things, while others are born to live a miserable life. While the first ones are who, regardless of their dreams, purposes or positive or negative attitude towards life, usually achieve important aims (wether these will be economic or whatever), the latters are those who think everything and everyone own them, that they will conduct a happy life 'cause they have power and money to spend.

Our Dong-eun surely is one of those who are born to accomplish great things: in her case, revenge. There's something else that I love and admire of this types of dramas: the main characters don't have anything else to do after their plans end. Their "main task" is finished, so what do they do now? Either living in regrets for what they've done, or feeling relieved and trying to heal their wounds, or again just surviving until the day they'll die. I think however a character decides to carry on they're heroes nonetheless.

I honestly hope Dong-eun will focus more on her life and how to live as a (approximately, 'cause this kind of wounds will never heal completely) normal person, maybe with Yeo-jeong by her side. This is the kind of happy ending I hope she will get, along with all those people who are living the same hell, 'cause we all know there are more than what we are ready to admit.

Yeo-jeong is that kind of man who makes you feel loved and cared for even in your darkest times, even when you've lost hope in everything and everyone else. He's that kind of man that stays loyal until the very end and will do anything for you and your well-being. But he's also someone who can pretty much relate to Dong-eun's pain, even if for another reason (which is still incomplete in the first season).

They're two broken pieces of a picture, and together they form an artwork, a delightful painting. Maybe with too many dark colors around the edges, but I'm sure when they mix together they create those beautiful lights. They're just perfect for each other and I'm here for it.

Now, apart from the storyline, which is too complex but at the same time satisfying, the acting was superb. Just a look at the cast and I was sure it was going to be perfect. Even Jung Ji-so was amazing: her parts weren't surely the easiest! She portrayed her character so good that she got me goosebumps. It must've been hard...

Overall I'm giving a 9.5. That 0.5? Well, maybe the soundtracks... While they were perfect for the drama, I thought maybe something else would've gotten more effect. And you're asking why the rewatch value is lower than the rest? That's because I wouldn't be able to watch it a second time: too cruel. The first time is already traumatizing, I don't think I need to see it a second time.

And finally, just a last comment: I'm fortunate to have started and finished it when the second season is already out, 'cause otherwise I couldn't have waited that much to see how it would've ended.

One of the best revenge-plot dramas ever!

Heartwarming, Wholesome Japanese BL Masterpiece!

If you are looking for a fluffy, lighthearted, romantic comedy, then this show is for you! The leads Adachi and Kurosawa are both mesmerizing characters that will surely charm anyone who watches them, given of course that you’re into cuteness and wholesome characters.

The out-of-this-world plot allows the writers to maximize their creativity, thus creating funny scenes. One of my favorite parts of the show was when Adachi was able to read the minds of anyone he touched, and thus, he was able to truly understand them. Because of it, he unintentionally touches their hearts and inspires them to be better individuals, it also gives him the opportunity to gain confidence and break out from his shell.

The chemistry between the main leads and it’s dynamic with the whole cast is incredible! Both Akaso Eiji and Machida Keita are perfectly cast as Adachi and Kurosawa, their acting is spot-on as if the characters came out of the manga.

The overall tone of the series is overflowing with positivity. In addition to that, it is also full of heartwarming realizations and interactions in each character. It is one of those shows that doesn’t have any villains. Everyone is likable! Not to mention, you might be able to see yourself in some of the characters, which makes them human and relatable.

The pace of the series is a little bit slow. However, I think they did it for the viewers to appreciate every scene and every detail, especially the character’s emotions. After all, the show is about what’s inside the person’s heart and soul. Speaking of every detail, did I mention that the office setting and even Adachi and Kurosawa's room are very intricately designed? The production really spends their time perfecting everything up to the tiniest details. Even the cinematography was spectacular!

Overall, it is the best Japanese BL at the moment. The manga title “Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!” might bring a negative impression to some people, but just like one of the messages of the show itself, "Do not judge the book by its cover", because the series is more than what meets the eye.

My 1st Life rewatch 2nd 3rd great

I have watched this drama many times & I will watch it many more. The story to me never gets old. The cast & acting was top grade. I grew to love the main leads Lee Min Kii & Jung So Min . The supporting cast were all top grade actors & the series got their monies worth. The story line was direct & it stayed that way through out the drama. I appreciate that. Often times more isn't better. Even the yelling which can get really annoying in Kdrama's was great. It carried a familiar theme guy lead being the upper & the female lead being lower, but anywhere it is rarely any different. I guess stick with what works. Grew to love the male lead in this series. Jung So Min I have never seen her do anything wrong when acting. She is lovable beautiful & always believable.
