• not the first show I started in 2022 but the first i finished in 2022
• It might not be new and so predictable, but it never failed to get me ugly sobbing )""";Since the 4th ep where the conflicts started to rise up until the very last scene in the last episode where harabeoji met chaerok again it got me crying tons of tears. Good thing i didnt watch it in one go, or else i could've passed out, dehydrated. Was it me being too emotional or was it the drama, im not even sure.. to me, neither hi bye mama and move to heaven can beat the amount of tears and snot it's produced (?) out of me)":

• As I was previously a passive watcher (watch it  by people's reviews and comments) I thought he was insincere and crazy annoying but it turns out so wrong. He did reaaaalllly good here and by far it's my other fav character of CSW Ajussi's! He's not exaggerating the careless uncle vibes. I love whatever it is his principle as a person (character) and as a lawyer. 
•  If i were a watcher with purest mind, i would never thought that he was guilty. Never (by this 4th ep). Im glad that they gave me the feeling I needed. Imma say, KSH literally just acts here. He didn't do long dialogs. Just body languages, gestures, facial expression, and short dialogs but clearly impactful. If someone nvr saw him acted, they'd surely said "bulssanghada (poor him)" yep. That's one word to describe his character. Played really well but written evilly, as if they kill him w/o literally killing him. 
• Sure enough 8 episodes are about how Cha Ajussi plays as a lawyer and KSH the pretty boi stutters like a 5 y.o get caught while stealing cookies. At least they have tantrums but we wont see it here, i mean not crazier than he was in the 3th ep.{WELL SHOOT NO!! HE DID CHANGE into someone 'ssagajiobta'
• final: Their acting skills are to be highly praised! Also, it's really amazing how KSH switches from his weak personality to who he is after learning how to survive from his so called Hyung. And btw he and the balded guy deserved frkn better if not for the worst ending)"; but what can we possibly ask for from prison life.. yep, justtt wtf the ending!? Feels so forceful and rushed. They started it so well but like not caring that much about the ending. Just forcing tragedies after tragedies and finishing it like school/class dismissal )):

• Took me a month or so to get to finish this one. Whyyy? I couldn't stand the first boring 20 minutes. I need the right time to continue up until the bearable part. Was it bad? Nope, just having a bad intro. If you need a good laugh for ur blue, come and watch this one. It's light and funny. It's a sitcom that you'd like to watch as a laidback and chill. The story is nothing new than the K romcoms we already knew, but the comedy is in the next level!!
• Let's talk about this HILARIOUS fight with the gangster scene at the bar. Everything is so chaos, people are throwing punches and random things towards the opponent. Everything flies in slow motion to every direction. Comedic plot twists where one finally thinks they can fight but the next second is kicked in the face. Just imagine the mad faces plus their messed up hair as when someone capture a gruesome old pic for ur 'HBD' card.
   They made tons of meme worthy priceless facial expressions! My favorite was Junho. If this was his movie debut as a main role, HE UNDEBATABLY NAILED IT! He was very likable, goofy, and too cute to be missed. The chemistry among the three was warming and relatable. The acting is purposefully exaggerated and they actually reach the goal. If u're looking for any moral value then this isn't your cup of tea. All in all, it's a pure entertainment. Can't rate it too highly but was so much a fun watch((:

• now I get what people mean by "Japanese Dramalike", it has this very different feeling of storytelling and editing. not something you generally found on k-dramas.the eccentric level of weirdness is in another level. do they have Japanese director as the PD?
• they easily capture my heart with the comedies and eccentricness. So much fun though I'd prefer a fully dark mystery. Anything but plot twist comedies??? I CANT LOVE THIS HARDER THAN I ALREADY DO!!!
• TTAK NAE STYLE!!! i dont know what more to say bout this drama, I really liked this. Definitely a fresh air. Not a new concept with the comedic detective but feels so new and different. Characterwise, everyone here is just lovely even the villains and the supports. Unforgettable, fun, full of joy, and 1000% worth a rewatch. Pour me some more, and I'd love to watch anything like this. I just wish it'll have a 2nd ssn or extended to more episodes.

• I loved TRS! I'd love to know more about the history YeongJo's family who happened to be Sado, Yisan's late father.  Despite the poopworthy sub and the saegugish political tropey, I'd like to embrace the  feeling everytime Sado and his pa clash like 2 infected beings.

•  It was quite long but I dont regret it. It's something you dont really wanna watch in the first place but dont want to stop as you get more into it, u know it's going to end with your eyes red, worn, and tissues everywhere but u want to know how it gets you that way.Everyone's acting is really good, I got whole lots of emotion here and there. Not a single comedy, full of pressure and ends with my heart torn into pieces. The dramatic way that Sado need to use his own hand to save the King from Boss Na's attack (which finally kills him) really got me. The ending was good and bring up the lump of emotion I've been keeping for the whole 23 eps. It's like I'm riding roller coaster with Sado thru his ups and downs when he looked for justice for his painter friend's death, saving the Saechek corp and losing them, finding out bout the Maenge and how he's going to edge his father, having min woo seob (whose father an opponent of crown prince) by his side, having his wife look after him, getting rid of the main villain Kim Taek, helping the low class yet talented young men to prove themselves to the Ministries, gaining ministries' trust, and finally everything is ruined by Boss Na groups' demand. He's done a lot to hear people's voices and try his everything to make a better world but Joseon was not ready for such revolution but his Son manage to do it for his Father's sake. Sadly beautiful.

• Started quite awkwardly as we know they aren't actlly donggab, but getting better later on. Set aside the lack of chemistry, I still really love the plot and storyline. Acting was just so so, but WOOSHIK+SSHIBAL is my FAV COMBO!! Smooth and well set. Inlove the floating camera shot the most. This far, it's truly a fun watch. The acting espc our main main role LJH was.. nothing compares. The jittery feeling captures like mom's hug, again the setting for dystopian theme should be so much appreciated, storywise stuck the second half has actually nothing but the suspense (lack of content). Need more of 'action' parts. But overall, it's an easy option to pick this one up. Not bad but not that great. Still there are a lot of aspects to be highly praised than the not fresh concept. A staright 8.3 will make it, right?

• Did I enjoy this? Neomu neomu! I wonder how they could create a bdsm-themed movie without making it a porn. Polite, well thought, and entertaining! Couldn't stop myself from admiring his puppy eyes tho' I can't never get the good in bdsm, espc what the submissives think n feel about their self-esteem and themselves as a standalone being. It's quite new and fresh for a kmv. The characters are well written and well portrayed. The FL is definitely a hit. As long as someone not hoping this would be a hot bed scene movie, I'd recommend this one. It's a real fun & sweet rom-com ride done differently. It got good values about self-realization and acceptance.

• I were to give it a straight 9.0 for the serotonin they injected as I binge thru the whole drama less than 24 hrs But as I think about it more, does it deserve that? It did gave me this chill and heal as I'm definitely into this kind of genre, but oftenly, they couldnt give me the right feelings when it should have. Aside from the superanatural side they serve drama and action as the genre, they lack on "dramatic parts". Aouad serves hs love semi-boldly at the beginning of the apocalypse and I found it cringey and hilarious! They dont even touch my heart a bit. Just wtf how could they think of that when they're about to be dead? We'd agree that this chic is the most infuriating, but she suddenly grows up a ball as they go thru hardship.
• +the funny parts areway too many than necessary but LOVE them. +entertaining side stories n characters. +real fun, not boring +zombie actors and the supports as they turn into zombies. Also the sets and make-up are very realistic. +action/fighting part was good enough.
• -the main roles' characters are highly forgettable. I even found the supports' personality outshine the mains' -undescribeable characterof main couple -the content wasn't packed up enough and was dragged too long. They shud evn explain the fantasy-scientific OUTSIDE the movie  They just completely missed the important thing which turns me off. -unnecessarily has a cliffhanger ending.-it's rather comedic than dramatic, the dramatic parts were shallow Almost tasteless. +Except The failed to be flight parts! -THE MOST AWAITED PART: EUNJI  VS.  GWINAM just wtf they gave her hope, they gave her power, but she got CAUGHT AS ZOMBIE SAMPLE!? Gwinam the bully gets the revenge on the ml but eunji dont?  Knowing how she was harassed but she's just a support and the writer must be thinking she shouldn't get that much of attention boils my blood): content wise, they actually serve way too much polish than needed.

• Family to hwesa politic conflicts are quite cliché, almost like heritage themed k-dramas we've watched since forever. But the characters bring it to another level. It's just they make it so fun and entertaining to watch espc the two ML bring out the best/worst in each other. I thought Cha Youngmin would be really annoying until the end but I realized that to be a ghost he needs to be comedic and he made it! His gestures along with the comical mimics are SUPERB!! no need to talk about Go ST, I was here for him from the star^^ It's my first time seeing Rain-nim on a drama, and he easily impress me. Wish to see him in other ways of madness(; They have the best bromance of all time. Im looooving the comedy and keeping the pace as consistent as how k-dramas are. How cym taking over his body without gst's permission, gst's revelation of his supernatural ability to see the unseen , making a deal to help each other, character development that naturally grows bw each of them, the friendshio that tags along as they grown closer, the love and caring they share, the craziness they plan to get on anyone who gets on their way. The medical life of doctor is actually overused and cliche but how the sprinkle of cuteness and bromance are bringing it to another "not to be missed" level. Love both gst and cym's sense of cuteness, they've won a special place in my heart :* The romance is not so special, to pass those things on the way will be understandable. However I quite cherish gst and Krystal moments, it was thin, light, and fluff-puff >< Story score: 7.5 (quite so so) Casting/characters/actors lovability: 10 Overall: 8.5 lol

this one was weird and forced. i think the FL could just keep being a girl but...? actually came here for Greg Hsu and im satisfied with his performance.

Finally get what they meant by wasted potential. the actors did a really good job giving "life" to the characters, also the chemistrywas allin. but the story just a big fat meh

on hold

i was hoping something mystical and serious like someday or one day, but the way they took too long, way too long for character introduction. maybe I just dont enjoy high school romance. takes more than 10 eps for unnecessary firendship and lovey dovey til it gets back to it's actual plot which is mystery-fantasy

enother love-hate relationship bw LJH and Sung Kyu. theyre meantfor each other.

Greg Hsu is my actor of the week. 3 shows in one week. this one is very similar with on your wedding day, and oveused plot but always interesting to observe.

getting comfortablity with Chinese series now (:

Ever since I saw Hu Xianxu in Hikaru no go, it seemed that my fangirling term got my watching rhythm distracted.  I learned Chinese up until now thanks to Hikaru no Go's Shi guang. This show wasn't english subbed but it has Chinese subtitle., so I pushed myself to quick learning Chinese to understand the show. It means so much to me. He's currently my favvvv favvv actor and so is the drama above<3

The shows listed under will be some of hxx works. That was how crazy I was over him.

The plot is... so ugly. Watched raw but if not for Hu xianxu and it was subbed I wont watch it either.

I reallyýy enjoy this though it's not so impressive. Haven't watched many Chinese school dramas, but from some of them that I have watched, dropped, or hold this one is the best for now. Really cute, light, and refreshing, yet can be dramatic at times able to make me cry a couple times.. heartwarming, feels like a cold pillow under my warm blanket. bingeability=9.0

Srsly, what is so good about this drama? Very much an ordinary slice of life romance drama where 2 leads met as childhood friends, both fell in love in high school, a hopeless second lead showed up, decided to be in relationship, and married. Nothing special. Idk why i waste my time on this tho sometimes I admit they were cute. And I think both leads really lack of expressions. I also think those characters lacked chemistry.

might drop, didnt like the FL (OR any FLlike her. way to cheery and i dont think she suits the ML) if it get worse when I pick up, or if the upcoming story doesn't leave me any good impression, then I would likely to drop this forever.

i liked the 2 ML but despite the (seemingly) high-end settings and filming the storyline and plot wasn't that gripping for such a thrilling theme they brought. will pick up if my CW has loosen up.

07/01

just curious how far I'll go. hate fl's character by heart (cheery, loud voice, and worse NAIVE) well by watching this, i've started to realise that xianxia is trulyyy not my cup of tea. for now I'll set a limit for myself that I can oly stand up to wuxia (even tho I skipped quite a lot).

just a typical romance youth web drama. all the goody sweety guys seemed too unreall. overall watchable when I need a light drama medicine.
