An amazing and complex story of grim reapers

Let me start off by saying, for the people who don't read reviews fully, that I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Tomorrow, even though it is definitely a heavy watch. It is also worth mentioning that there is only a slight romance, so if that is something that's important for you, here's your heads up. At first I wasn't really sure, if I should start this drama, or if it's something for me personally, but I ended up very pleasantly surprised. The structure of the drama contains a sort of "suicide case of the week" formula, which i first thought was going to be tedious, but alas it was not, I actually appreciated the diverse topics that the show explored, things like bullying, SA, survivor's guilt, comfort women, Joseon during the Qing invasion, just to name a few. It is worth mentioning that this drama is very heavy to watch, and deals with specific issues that you might find triggering, so I think before you start watching it, definitely check out the themes the drama explores before diving in. I personally really enjoyed the story, it had it's highs and lows for me, but overall it was an enjoyable experience. What really stole my heart however, was the characters. I really enjoyed the dynamic between the team, they learned and grew together, and they really felt like a family by the end, the way the characters developed throughout the show was amazing, and I wish more dramas would take notes. What really was lacking for me was the OST, and some parts of the story seemed either not very well explained, or just didn't make sense, especially the rules when it came to the afterlife and reapers, it wasn't always consistent but I guess I already got used to this, because kdramas can't really write in verse systems that well. I also think Koo ryeon's storyline didn't felt complete, I felt like Mr.Park should've had more screentime, or he should've become involved with the story more. Overall I really enjoyed my time with Tomorrow, despite some faults with the writing, and the OST. It really felt like an adventure that was heavy with the feels. I definitely would only recommend this drama with caution, because of the amount of triggering themes that the drama deals with, but looking past that, it is a great watch.

I'm not sure about this drama result point?

Now the title of the drama says lost you forever what could refer to a lost Xiyan Cang Xuan and Tushan Jing and she ended up with a villainous Xian Liu who treat her so wrong and forcibly or something else but mostly i think the loss of a right man is Xiyan Cang Xuan and that is not the most baddest thing to me as I really like Tan Jian Ci with that white look hair and look but when he is WRONG one...she definitely shouldn't have let Xian Liu dominate her as he see fit because he's terrible demon with no compassion...just an abuse and self nourishment with her blood and he always threaten her that one day she could be eaten by him to nourish himself because he does not even care for her but he does keep her alive because you know she's a main female character and a girl he need to drink her blood😛 and that is absolutely what i dislike about this drama but later on in the mid point to the end point he changed and i kind of like him as Fangfeng Bei and his behavior smoothens and I like his black hair look and like all the main characters from this drama and especially like Yang Zi

A MASTERPIECE OF SUSPENSE, BONDS, AND RESILIENCE

This drama is more than just a supernatural tale it’s a beautifully crafted story that draws you in with its perfect blend of suspense, action, and humor. From the very first episode, the intriguing plot and seamless balance between intense moments and heartfelt character interactions keep you captivated.

One of the drama’s biggest strengths is its cast. Every actor delivered stellar performances, bringing their characters to life in a way that felt authentic and deeply moving. The group’s chemistry was undeniable, and their evolving relationships made the story all the more compelling. You could feel their struggles, triumphs, and unwavering loyalty as they joined forces to face otherworldly threats.

The humor was another standout element. The comedic moments didn’t just provide relief from the tension they also revealed the humanity of the characters and strengthened their bonds, making the emotional scenes hit even harder.

The OST (original soundtrack) was absolutely stunning. Each track perfectly complemented the mood, enhancing every scene, whether it was a high-stakes confrontation or a quiet, emotional moment. The music stayed with me long after the final episode, elevating the drama’s overall impact.

In the end, this drama wasn’t just about battling demons it was about resilience, friendship, and finding hope even in the darkest times. A thrilling, emotional, and unforgettable journey, this is a masterpiece that deserves to be experienced.

A beautiful series - Very relatable

Finally able to watch the whole series after 3 years, and I think this is the perfect time for me.

This is a really beautiful series. Macbeth is really the best thing to ever exist. It's a beautiful journey, and definitely meaningful. And every beautiful journey has to come to an end. It’s sad but it is how life is.

The story feels so real and complete, and the cast is perfectly casted. All of them nailed their roles. There is no big plot twist or no villain in this slice of life series. I really love that. I also love that they don’t romanticize the relationship between the waitress (Rihoko) and the screenwriter of the comedy trio (Haruto) at the end. This series really feels like a big hug to me. It warms my heart and gives me more strength to keep up with this life.

I relate so much with the story and see myself in every character’s story, as someone who also in their late 20s and struggling with life, failures, career crisis, isolation, mental illness and more. Personally there were times I also locked myself up in the room and isolated myself from the outside world, just like Rihoko and Haruto's older brother in this series. It feels like a wasteful time to other people, but it is a necessary period for me to reflect on myself and dig deeper into my soul. My whole life might also feel like a failure to other people, but to me everything I have done is meaningful, and it happens for a reason, and it makes me who I am today. Now I also need the courage to give up on something and figure out what I'm going to do next with my life. I am very grateful to my family, friends and the ones who I have met and have stayed by my side and helped me through the darkest times of my life.

Whoever is reading this, I hope you have a wonderful day. You are trying your best and that's enough. You are living in the best moment of your life.

Well, if I talk about this drama, it was really hilarious, but at some points, I thought it was a bit too much. Everything seemed fine, but some scenes or dialogues felt a bit over the top. The humor was great, and the chemistry between the characters made it even more enjoyable. However, certain moments did feel exaggerated, which slightly affected the overall experience. That’s just my opinion, though; overall, I really enjoyed it, and it kept me hooked throughout. The story, despite its ups and downs, was entertaining and full of unexpected twists, making it a memorable watch.

WHAT THE ACTUAL

i am very dissapointed. i was rooting for this series because i love do bong soon so much. ga jelas bangettttt fakkkkk. things i hate :
- they could just more focused about the comedy aspects, heesik and nam soon relationship, family things like in do bong soon
- the chemistry's kinda off between them as a family karena how can they made nam soon yang baru ketemu and they made her dealing with stuffs
- the first few episodes was good. tapi semakin kesini makin kesana GAJELASSSS
- i don't even know heesik's background i was so excited for his character but they made it looks like he's a second lead i hate ittttt
- one of the things that keep me going was hee sik and his team yang kocak abis and he got less screen time like are you kidding??
- the amount of people praising si-o, stop it
- im not here for that grandma's puber kedua thing. it was funny at first, and i can't take it anymore
- and how about that pappa's bell that hit heesik head?? they should made it as a memorial between heesik and nam soon SEMUANYA SIA SIA
anyways, the writer sucks. this series will remind as a series yang menemani saya di kala per stressan skripshit (like twinkling watermelon). if the rumors are true that they renewed this for the third season pls be better (honestly, don't do that)

Indeed, a Masterpiece ❤️

Smile Code is a must watch. From the cast, to the storyline and even to the cinematography of this series, it was all superb!!!!

Moreover, the chemistry between real world besties, Linyi and Shenyue is soooooo real. The plot twist in thia series is really the superb acting skills of linyi and yueyue. I highly recommended this drama and I will always rewatched this 🤖🐈🌙❤️

You will surely feel an outburst of emotions. Every episode can make you want for more. I do not even want Smile Code to end. That's how the story creates a bond between the drama series and the audience.

The most hilarious duo aka Zhang Chu Lan and Feng Bao Bao!

I Am Nobody is a drama full of comedy and action and I have to say not a single episode was boring to me. As the story starts with Chu Lan finding out his gradfathers body was dugged out and went missing he met a girl named Feng Bao Bao on the graveyard, their meeting was comical itself, Feng Bao Bao fighting with ghosts and running like a ninja and Zhang Chu Lan just being there scared.

What I loved about this drama the most was the supernatural act and our clumsy yet funny main protagonist Zhang Chu Lan and even more funny and weird Feng Bao Bao. Their journey was full of discovering new things, fights and mysteries. On their journey they met a lot of new people, such as Wang Ye whom Zhang Chu Lan met on the Martial Arts Tournament. I loved the whole aspect of it, to see various supernatural powers other Outsiders holds. I just wish Neo Hou's character Wang Ye, had more screen time here. I also really liked the journey of Bao Bao finding who she is!

This drama was overaly so much fun to watch. The action was great and the characters were amazing as well! Can't wait for season two to come!

Well-written

The rating is based on my personal enjoyment, not on the intrinsic value of the drama. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so please be kind. If you disagree (and you probably will), please just move on.

Are you one of the C-drama fans that has actually not watched this show, and you are wondering if you should watch it? You definitely should. It is a standout in the C-drama genre. I watched it a couple of years ago and rated it lower. Who knows, if I watch it a couple of years from now, I may enjoy it even more! There is no question that it is, overall, very well-written. The cast was excellent. I especially loved the father/father figure. There was laughter, there were tears. The music helped draw out the emotions of certain scenes.

This drama is, for the most part, about what makes a family. It explores blood relationships, found relationships, and the strength of true friendship. It addresses actions and their consequences. It also speaks to the results of those consequences on others. We don't live in a vacuum, and what we do affects others, whether we like to think so or not. Then, there is the issue of anger/trauma and forgiveness.

The only reasons I couldn't rate it any higher for myself:
1) Too many episodes and some storylines that could have been cut - for example, the woman that kept trying to set the dad up with someone. Also, the constant back and forth of the two girls and their mothers' disapproval of their career choices.
2) Too much changing of who likes who, especially among the friends.
3) Romance fell flat. It wasn't supposed to be the focus, I know, but they never seemed to be more than friends. Even at the end, she still called him Brother. There was an episode or two that tried to develop this, but once they were together, they didn't act any differently than before.
4) I realize that this is a cultural thing, but letting your parents walk all over you for your entire life leaves a sour taste in my mouth. There's a difference between respecting your elders and being a doormat.
5) The parents' actions traumatized their kids enough that they were having nightmares, insomnia, etc., but, with a word, all was forgiven.
6) Regarding above-mentioned trauma - resolved too easily. Counseling wouldn't have gone amiss.
7) Both brothers thinking they like her, but one gets over it in a couple of days. Personally, with their closeness while growing up, I couldn't understand either of them liking her in a romantic way.
8) The ending was flat for me. Especially after sitting through 40 episodes.

Bottom line? I am definitely in the minority here, and I will still recommend this drama to others.

MBTI comes alive within the stories of people

Experiments begin with a hypothesis. And then a conclusion.

If I had to guess the hypothesis for MBTI Inside… perhaps the hypothesis are:
1) How different (or similar) are people from each other?
2) Is MBTI a reliable personality system? In other words, the real question is, can you box people into 16 personality types?

What’s my conclusion then, after watching MBTI Inside? Without representing the producer’s answers,
1) People are.. people and
2) MBTI is just another tool to help us communicate, understand and relate with others.

I like the simple structure that the organisers have with this social experiment. It’s 5 Days, 4 Nights of 16 people, each representing one of the MBTI type, interacting with each other in a place. They are divided into 2 groups for most part of each day: Day 1 explored Extroversion vs Introversion, Day 2 explored Sensing vs Intuition, Day 3 explored Thinking vs Feeling, Day 4 explored Judging vs Perceiving and Day 5 is the day they wrapped up. Each night, everyone cast a likability vote and optional dislike vote. It’s informative and insightful watching the interactions of people grouped in the respective categories. It helped one to simply understand MBTI while also asking yourself where would you feel more at home at.

The other thing I loved are the participants selected for MBTI Inside. Similar to any other variety show, people will be the heart of the program. Everyone comes with the right intention of wanting to understand themselves as well as the right level of curiosity and respect towards others. I love hearing their sincere answers during their interview segments, as well as their own wrap up / conclusion after going through the activities by the end of the program.

Watching this show also made me better understand myself (as well as the people in my life) through the participants’ heartfelt reflections and interactions. And though I felt closer to figuring out if I am indeed the “type” I thought I am, I think the essence of this program is ultimately to accept yourself, be curious of others, and that we can get along with each other even if we are different so long the right space is given.
