I enjoyed it..!

If you are looking for something fresh and cool you will enjoy this drama. Every character is interesting and the main couple is so cute, you can see Choi Minho and Chae Soobin have a good chemestry. Also the friendship of the 4 friends is adorable, I will really miss Joseph, Seon-ho, Ji-eun and Woo-min. I really enjoyed the drama so much because of them.

Finally, it was really nice to see Minho in a lead role again, he did a good job as Woo-min. Hopefully there will be more oprtunities to see him in other projects.

My punctuation in general is 10/10. The acting, the plot, the soundtrack and cinematography was really nice and I'm planing to watch it again with my friends.

their friendship is the best and so cute!!! you'll love it!!!

This drama shows you many scenes that can happen in real life, but above all how friendship despite everything is something that keeps us connected and is like our daily support in our busy and complicated lives.
you probably identify with some actors character, for example I identify with woomin sometimes you're not sure about something and you realize it late but that's what it's about learning from your mistakes and trying again (to the actor who played woomin I fell in love with you I hope see you more in this industry).
I liked the theme of fashion industry because it's so glamorous and it felt great to see a little piece of that industry.

and remember friends can be place where u can find ur answer or just a little place to cry but be safe too !!!

Spoilers!
I really liked nearly every aspect of the story, the characters are all interesting with sweet moments too. I especially liked the actors dynamics, and the cute little moments. The City owner was also one of my favourite parts, it refreshing to see a character like hers displayed in a nuanced and respectful way, instead of the mother in law is evil trope that happens so often. I may be biased but I also loved the Princess Royal, whos story was delicately handled and and relatable. The friendship Chen XianXian and Her servant was also very sweet! This whole drama could've been fantastic!
But Im afraid it was spoiled for me half way through.
I cannot accept how Han Shuo tired to r*pe her. That was so disgusting, and it was made worse by Bai Ji suggesting drugging her when he didn't go through with it. Come on, that was insanely messed up? And then they never address it and act like hes the good guy. Completely ruined two decent characters in one needless scene that didn't even add anything. If that wasn't included I would have given it a much higher score. I finished the series trying to forget what he did, and pretend it didn't happen, which I think a lot of other people did to. But even so it was always in the back of my head during their scenes together, from that point onward ,despite everything trying to convince us that Han Shuo wasn't bad, I always felt a edge of fear for Chen XianXian that I think wasn't intended.
I hear theres rumour of season 2 and I do plan on watching it. But yikes I cannot stop thinking about that moment.

Realistic and diverse stories

One thing I really loved about this drama is how positive, welcoming and loving all the families are. You don’t need to explain “why” they are so encouraging, because healthy family support is normal. It doesn’t mean the characters aren’t written well, but its written realistically. From Jieun’s dad letting her be independent but always checking on her, to Seonho’s parents being supportive in their own way and always encouraging her, to Joseph’s mom being his biggest fan and always involved in helping him.
There are queer stories too. One being basically soulmates but one side’s family not being supportive. Whereas Joseph has always been seen and loved for who he is by his family and friends.
I’m not that into fashion but the dialogues really hit me when they were taking about their passion for their jobs and why they think its important in society.
I like that not everyone is going through the same things. If one person is sad, the others may be really happy. It felt so real (lmao). I liked that the main leads didn’t have some crazy love story, but its so normal. They’re high school sweethearts, the best of friends, and they just never fell out of love after their breakup. I literally have friends like that lol.
Lastly, I have to say, the finale runway was just amazing. From the concept, to design, to the clothes and the models, I was blown away. I got goosebumps when Seonho walked in that finale dress.
So I’d definitely recommend this drama for laughs, cute romantic moments and warm friendships!

Higher the stakes, harder the games

In true Alice In Borderland style, the second season opens with mass murder in the middle of the road. It’s one hell of a way to open a show, reminding us of Arisu’s past, his history of gaming and how, like those in the video game, he is caught in the same situation.

Season 2 is madness from the first minute of the first episode – just how we love and know the series to be. Bullets flying everywhere, figuring out what the heck is going on in between the lines and high-speed chase sequences. The series is a gift that gives on giving. Apart from the horrific bloodshed, we also face our protagonists’ emotional turmoil surrounding their past lives. Arisu is still reeling from his friends’ deaths while Usagi walks around with the burden of her father’s probable suicide. The games are puzzled, intense and mind fucking just like it's predecessor.

Just like season 1, season 2 carries on the expectations of the high stakes do or die games and delivers them almost successfully. The finale episode hit me a little, wherein many things went unanswered, the pacing got very slow and a happy ending which I felt could have been more satisfactory, had everything would have been answered. Maybe a Season 3 would answer all the remaining questions and solve the final piece of the puzzle.


My Rating: 8.5/10

Started strong but quickly fell downhill !

I had high hopes for this drama because I like the female actress. She is always very cheery and happy. It was pretty good in the beginning and then dragged on and on. I was surprise that the second leads kissed before the main, but they both had their first kiss by episode 5, but soon after that the plot was a disappointment.

Female lead is cute and what seems to have a sunshine personality, but in fact she is super self conscious about her studies in med. She only choose med as her major because the male friend she likes wants to become a doctor. On the day that she is finally going to confess, her male friend tells the female lead that he actually has been in secret relationship with her best friend. She is sad and drinks, of course being drunk she make a vow to court the best looking guy in school , which happens to the the male lead. The male lead is your standard , cold, intelligent guy, who basis is science and data.

The male lead eventually falls in love with the female lead, but the female lead thinks she is not matched to the male lead. She views herself as inferior.

whats annoying is that the male lead likes her in the beginning but at that time , she didnt like him. Ok! finally she figures out that she likes him, but she is too self concious. After she tries to confess, he tries to confess and basically its a cat a mouse chase,. By ep 20 they are finally together but their romance has lost all sizzle for me.

Keep in mind this drama is only 24 episodes long! This isnt fluff , its more like frustration that they arent together earlier and keep on missing the time to be together.

How the treacherous trailer almost put me off watching my favorite BL drama of the year

First of all, I was surprised that the drama has nothing to do with the supernatural, as the title and trailer might suggest. At first I thought it was a misunderstanding. Now I think it was on purpose.

Maybe we were meant to feel like everyone else who had been deceived into believing in the Suppalo curse. I thought it would be a production with Ayan's dorky behavior and weak effects with eclipse storyline (and maybe some werewolf transformations, who knows).

It turns out that the story of Suppalo is the background on which the main characters resonate beautifully. For Akk, these are the dilemmas of a young man on the verge of important life stage and love that stands in the way. For Ayan, it's dealing with the pain due to loss and his desire for revenge.

There are expressive individuals who do not live in the shadows, and their behavior affects the reputation of the entire university. This allows us to see the smallest changes and nuances that occur in their thinking and behavior.

I enjoy hate-to-love tropes and this story stands out on the podium. It seems well thought out from a psychological point of view. We see how the characters change and nothing happens too quickly, it's natural.

Sometimes it is their looks that give us the most information: from unspoken, inflamed feelings to pain that they have to work through.

Akk and Ayan seem to be made for each other. That is the subtle factor that makes you feel the atmosphere of growing tension through their eye contact or their being next to each other. Their chemistry is out of this world. I have to admit that I watched some scenes more than a dozen times! Something amazing. Chapeu bas for the director!

The OST "Over the Moon" by Khaotung adds flavor and it's one of my all-time favorite soundtracks. Along with the official music video, it strongly affects my emotions and I'm drifting away in soft thoughts.

a personal and professional growth story

I liked so much the plot of this drama. it was like a fashion sitcom. little cores going through their issues and a romance that had me hooked from start to finish. Right at the beginning it seems that all characters are presented the way Jieun sees them, so it was easy to want to hate some and love others, but as the chapters went by, the essence of each one can be known. It has become one of my favorites of the year for sure.
this is a mini drama that could easily be longer as it brought up some important issues in the fashion world that had to be quickly portrayed in order for there to be an outcome. Everything ends very well so it was very light. it was easy to watch it all at once. I wish some issues could have been more widely explored

so boring!

i cant believe how boring this series is. i started it with friends and it was such a chore watching it that i think if i was alone i wouldve dropped it. in the first few episodes vice versa tricks you into thinking that it will be fun. do not be fooled!! from episode 3-10 it is so so so boring. the reason is that they focus on the side plot so much that it is unbearable. the side plot is aside from boring, also unimportant to the story. i missed an episode and a half because i was making noodles and playing pokemon, but when i came back, alas, i had not missed anything important to the story! unbelievable! they do nothing for 10 episodes and then it gets interesting for the last 2. i think that the one guy cant move his face much and it bothers me bc i cant tell what his facial expressions are. my favourite character is the trans guy (very cool) i would give it a lower rating if it wasnt for the last episodes. they also kissed way too late in the series. i think the no kiss or romance made it boring also.

Once again a Complete edge of the seat Experience

A Well made Sequel that promises an amazing experience to the viewers. The expectations were high and it was definitely worth the wait. The story starts from the point they ended in S01 and stright from the start it's keep getting better and better and which includes even more deadly games.?

Apart from S01, here they mainly focused on character relationships. Even for someone who didn't really get attached to the characters in S01 may change their minds after watching S02 for sure because it was wonderfully written. It also more logical when it comes to its ending. Never expected something like that.

Just like season one, Everything is brutal about the games without any mercy, Overall it's a perfect finale for an amazing experience. Completely Satisfied with the ending and everyone must watch.

Faar faar faaar better than that overrated Squid Game. I think a lot of people haven't watched this yet that's why they are praising Squid game like the best thing in the globe.? I still feel this drama deserves more recognition than Squid Game.

So really really really really liked this series, but it was really really really really too short. I wanted so much more. I really fell in love with Seon Ho the character. So genuine and so cute. Right? I really didn't care if Mu wound up with him or not. I was so in love with him I just wanted to see him on the screen every second. Anyway, yeah, I didn't care too much for Mu the character, but I did like the story of him falling in love with Seon from a far so many years ago. The entire Soon thing was way too forced and that could have been developed out fully and actually caused a lot of great tension. See above too short comments. The last few episodes did seem a bit anti-climactic and not enough warmth or joy from either character. I do hope to see Soun Seung Hyun in another series very soon. What a sweetheart! 7.5 is way too low for this series. It's a solid 8.5 if not more.

Cute & Quick

Perhaps it's because I love drama's centered around friend groups, but I really enjoyed this. It was a light, fun and quick watch of people navigating their stressful lives and turning to their friends for comfort. There was no set plot, but honestly I didn't mind because it's just a drama about navigating the day-to-day struggles of the working class in the fashion industry and dealing with problems as they arise. I do feel that the episodes got better as the drama went on and I greatly enjoyed the secondary and guest characters. If you're looking for something light and quick that'll take your mind off of things for a couple of hours I would definitely recommend this.
