Cute

I mean, I don't know how else to describe this drama. The romance is cute, the village dynamic is fun, the actors are good. It's just so cute. It's not anything absolutely ground breaking, in fact it's got quite a few kdrama romance clichés(they knew each other as kids, male best friend is the second lead, etc) but it was cute and I didn't really mind it. I think this is a great drama for beginners or for anyone who loves cute romances. Also if you liked Hometown Cha Cha Cha then you will probably like this as well. Overall I highly recommend you watch it, it's a mood booster and a fun watch

I despised this movie

I know the title may seem a bit dramatic but I am not exaggerating, I genuinely hated this movie. Don't get me wrong, the actual movie part was good and I would have loved it if not for the story. I hate romanticised cheating with a burning passion, there are very few stories where I don't mind it and I assure you that this was not one of them. I understand being unable to be yourself due to the pressure of society and such but jfc, just break up with her if you want to date another person. And, while I do like him for the most part, Toey was no better than Oat. He engaged in the relationship even though he KNEW he was married and had a kid! Like they knew each other for a few weeks in the first movie and that forms enough love to last four years and make him ok with being a side piece??I don't think so. If he was with him not knowing he was married, that would be much more sympathy inducing. But the ending of this had me so angry I was on the verge of tears. I don't know how I finished this movie, at least the first one had Yumi. Sorry for the lengthy rant but oof, I haven't been this pissed off at a movie ever so I needed to get it all out. As a recap, don't watch unless you are ok with cheating in your romances.

Watch this drama asap

So I watched the show while it was airing and only now am writing a review? Seems odd but I had to. I was unable to think about this drama without crying for a long time so I needed the time to calm down and piece my thoughts together. So here I am, finally reviewing my favourite show of all time.
Story:
This drama is incredibly well written and every thing that happens makes sense in the world of 2521. HeeDo and YiJin are our female and male leads, both having different backgrounds and ways of thinking about the world. They mirror and oppose each other perfectly. The story is that in the future, HeeDos daughter is looking back at her moms past through her diaries. We see HeeDo as she meets YiJin, as she works incredibly hard to get where she wants to go. But the drama does give us YiJin solo moments so we as the viewers know things that HeeDo does not but also are given the chance to connect with YiJin as he works to rebuild his family. I also want to clarify the age thing. HeeDo, in Korean age , is an adult when we first meet her. She is 18 Korean age so she is an adult. They don't begin to date until she is 19/20(I can't quite remember) Korean age but she was always an adult. Plus the friendships in this drama were so sweet and wholesome

Acting:
Phenomenal on all fronts, each of them did an excellent job. No complaints.

Soundtrack:
I already preordered the ost, need I say more?

Rewatchability:
For me, never. This drama tore my heart out and I can't watch it again but for you, who probably won't sob for 30 minutes after watching the final episode like I did, it is definitely rewatchable.

Overall:
Please watch this. It is so good

I feel mixed

When I first watched this, I really enjoyed it. I was a Pai stan from episode one and I really shipped both main couples(Pai/Itt and Pure/Folk) but as I still had a few issues.
Story:
I will say what every bl fan is thinking, the engineering concept is over done and we need more diversity when it comes to the college majors/give us more non college related bls. However, at least they gave Folk and Pai non engineering majors(Pai is a medical student and Folk is a dental student).Aside from that, the show was fun and I enjoyed watching it, I tried rewatching it and I got to episode 8 before I had to stop.I am still a Pai stan and honestly...I think he deserves better than Itt. Itt annoyed me quite a bit, his attitude towards Pai for the majority of the college part of the show was so irritating and he should have treated him better. I honestly think Pai would be better with Folk. Folk is much nicer but Folk/Pure is one of my favourite ships so I can't say I'm sad about Pai/Folk not happening. Before Folk came along though, I genuinely shipped Waan and Pure. I thought they had a great dynamic and was crushed when they didn't get together. But once Folk came along, Waan/Pure was forgotten about.

Acting:
I think they all did an good job but my favourite actor was the guy who played Pai. He made me get really attached to him and I hurt for him every time Itt was a fudging jerk. The other actors did well.

Soundtrack:
Forgettable but pretty

Rewatchability:
It is an easy watch if you are looking for a bl to watch while you wait for new ones to come out or just need a show to watch. I just can't finish rewatching it because I'm too fed up with Itt and the way he's acting


Overall:
Cute but there are much better ones out there. Pai stan forever and screw Itt's dad, he is the worst, I hate him so much. This is a good show for beginner bl watchers.

Why does this show only have an 8.8 rating?

I adore this show, so so much. I truly enjoyed it so much and had practically no grievances with it. The one or two I have are truly opinion-based and I don't truly consider them as flaws. Shall I begin?
Story, 10/10:
Where to begin? I think the supernatural element of this show is really interesting and I enjoy true crime so I liked that aspect as well. The group of ghost hunters isn't a new concept but I think the way it's done in this show is really fun. My two grievances fall into this category so I'll say it now. 1. I wish they'd kept So Hun disabled and he had learned to fight well despite it. I am most definitely biased since I myself am disabled and walk with a limp. Mine isn't injury based so it's a little different but still. My second and last grievance is that I wish they'd focused a tad bit more on the supernatural parts. They did in the beginning and don't get me wrong, I enjoy the true crime element quite a lot but I would've enjoyed a bit more evil spirit hunting. Also, the evil spirit villain in this show is scary as hell and I hate that high-pitched giggle he does.

Acting, 10/10:
I found absolutely no issues with the acting. I thought everyone was superb and I can't think of anyone whose acting I disliked. My favorite acting probably would come from the guy who plays the evil spirit villain. He is so scary and I get anxious every time I see him on the screen.

Music, 8.5/10:
The soundtrack was good but I wasn't blown away. I've heard better but I've also heard worse. This is on the higher end of the averageness scale. If you want to hear some good drama music, try watching Doom at your service or Hotel Del Luna. Both are killer though I prefer DAYS over HDL.

Characters(I know it's not a category but I'm including it anyway):
My favorite character is So Hun, no competition. He has such a sweet personality and I truly relate to him. I am really emotional and I am disabled so I clicked with him instantly. My second favorite character is Ha-Na, she is so badass. She is also really pretty. My third favorite is a tie between the former policeman and the healer lady. I hate that I forgot their names but that doesn't mean I don't care for them. I hate the villains so much, I can't pick who is more loathable. Also, So Hun's friends are great and I like them a lot.

Rewatchability, 9/10:
I don't tend to rewatch things and I doubt I will rewatch this but that is just me. For anyone else, I think watching a second time would be pretty fun. Not as fun since the suspense would be gone but it would still be fun.

Overall, 10/10:
Please, please, please watch this show. It is really good and I wish more people were talking about it. It is one of the best drama's I've watched and I hope you'll like it as well. But a bit of a warning, it can be a bit gruesome and bloody but nothing too gratuitous.

I love this show

This show is really good,i like watching it and the two main couples are really cute. The acting is good most of the time but when it comes to any crying scene,i think the person who plays Gui needs some improvements. It's not terrible but it's a little unbelievable. I don't know about you but I don't cry like that and i don't know anyone who does. Besides that, I still do really like it. The relationships are cute and wholesome but I'm a bit nervous about the next episode because of the girl. I hate it in bl's when there is a girl put in to cause drama. I know it's based on a book but still. If they break up because of that, I'm going to be annoyed. Anyway, can't wait for the next episode to come out.

Disturbing but brilliant

I am not really a horror person so when I first went into this, I was a little nervous. I don’t do well with jump scares or anything scary but I had very little trouble with this. So if horror isn’t typically your genre, I would still recommend you give this a try. Unless you’re super squeamish then I’d recommend you steer clear.
So I went into this with knowledge of the ending/big twist but it didn’t hinder my enjoyment at all. It was really interesting thinking about what would come next, how they would get out of each door, what the taboos were and who would die. Speaking of death, I think I cried harder at this drama than I’ve cried at any other contemporary cdrama like ever. I actually had to pause a few times just to sob because I was crying so hard I couldn’t see anything. I am dead inside. As for the bromance aspect of the show, I really enjoyed it. They were cute and funny and honestly soulmates. I do have mixed feelings about the ending because while it can technically be called a happy ending, I would classify it as ambiguous. A little bit like the ending of Guardian, though perhaps not as depressing. Happy enough but if you think about it, there are too many unanswered questions for me to be content.
Over all, I super recommend this. The acting is great, the story is intriguing, and the OST is pretty good. 10/10

A mess but it's entertaining

What to say, what to say. This drama is very difficult for me to review because while I know it’s not the best show objectively and has its fair share of issues, I had a really fun time watching it. So the reviewer in me wants to give this a solid 6 stars, the rest of me wants to give it a nine. So I decided to give it an 8.5. I think the thing about this show that makes it so enjoyable for me, rather than something I was watching purely to review it, was the chemistry between the actors. Sunny and Pak had excellent chemistry, they were able to make most of the horribly cringy dialogue bearable and I don’t think this drama could have worked without them.

This drama follows Namnuea, a wedding planner, as he falls in love with one of his clients. I know, it’s an alarming premise. But it is not what you think, well actually yes it is. The plot twist in this show is so predictable, everyone can see it coming. If you guessed both Lom(the groom) and Yiwa(the bride) are gay and that the marriage is fake to appeal to their parents, congrats. You would be correct. This is not an original concept, Mame really was just writing an excuse to get the LITA couples married and threw the main couple in to fill time. Which really makes me laugh seeing as the LITA couples got maybe 2 minutes of screen time each, in total. I could be wrong, it could be Mame wanted to try her hand at a cheating romance and added the LITA couples in to show Nuea working but I don’t think so. Before you watch this show, I do think it’s important to know that there is SA in this. Nuea sleeps with Lom while he is sober and Lom is very very drunk. It’s in episode 4, around the 53 or 54-minute mark. It is, as is typical for Mame it seems, not portrayed as SA but romantic. I hope I don’t need to tell you that drunk people cannot consent to sex, even if they make the first move and a sober person sleeping with them is assault. The scene is kind of important to the plot in the sense that it starts the episode 5/6 conflict but you don’t need to watch it if it will upset or trigger you. They do sleep together again if you want an NC scene. The dialogue is very cringe, I feel so bad for Pak cause it’s always Nuea who gets the terrible lines. As for the other characters, I really liked Yiwa and Marine. They are so adorable, a very desired wholesome and drama-free break from the emotional roller coaster that is Lom x Nuea. Nuea’s co-workers/ friends are so funny but I also really love that J’Im always had Nuea’s back. She was very protective of him and I loved that. The secondary side couple is cute, from what little we see of them.
But for all this show's flaws and issues, I really did have fun watching. I laughed, I giggled, and kicked my feet, all the stuff. Maybe I’ll edit this when the wedding episode or whatever the 8th episode on IQIYI will be comes out and give my feelings on that but for now, this is it.

*EDIT*
Hi there, I'm here after the wedding episode. Um, it was cute. It's always fascinating seeing wedding traditions from cultures that aren't my own and they're very cute together but like,there was no need to make it behind a pay wall. It's like seven dollars, so not terrible, but the episode should have been free. But it doesn't matter too much now anyway, I already bought it. Over all notes are J'Im rocks, she's the best and we're honestly being robbed of Sun and Ryu. They're cute and I wanted to know more. Also really wasn't vibing with how rushed the wedding was, Nuea only knew he'd be getting married the night before and Loms mom wasn't even invited. Not that you have to invite your parents to your wedding but I felt like there was no reason to exclude her except maybe for Yiwa and Marines comfort? Idk, it felt odd. Like Lom could get them from the UK for a wedding but not his mom from Bangcock to Chang Mai? Especially when the beginning of the episode started with Nuea wanting to be approved by the mom, a good full circle would have been her saying some lovely words of blessing at the wedding. But whatever. This episode doesn't improve my rating, the episode itself will get probably a 5, but I said I'd update so here it is

I loved this, mostly

This show was really really fun to watch. I laughed quite a bit and I'm glad I took the time to watch it. The plot is fun, the cast is great, and the couples are super cute. I only had a few problems.
Story: 9.5
I love enemies to lovers, it's probably one of my top three favorite romance tropes. So this was super nice. Unfortunately, I kind of fell out of love with the main couple about midway through and paused watching. I finished watching it yesterday and I'm glad I did because I love it but the main couple was kind of a rollercoaster of emotions for me. They were fun in the beginning, then Tim is introduced and I was like "oh, um, ok. He's THAT character". Wasn't a huge Tim fan if you can't tell. I liked him more toward the end but he and Mai were my least favorite couple definitely. Got annoyed with their back and forth quite fast, communication is a necessity for them. Speaking of communication, the KimMek breakup could've been avoided. If they'd discussed it like grown-ups instead of Kim being kind of an A-hole, things would've been different. He didn't have to say those really mean things to Mek to get him to go abroad, try having a conversation, please. I beg you. I'm glad they made up though, though I was definitely upset with Kim and kinda wanted Mek to make him work a bit harder to get his forgiveness but I'm also glad they got together quickly. Speaking of forgiveness, Bearrrr, my love, that was so cute. His use of the love actually method to say sorry was really adorable and those two were definitely my favorite. My heart broke for Bomb though, that was the worst part of that whole situation. Loved the apology but I hurt for Bomb when Bear forgot. They were my faves from episode one but I grew to love them more and more with each episode. Now for the last couple, ParkLee. They were cute and very healthy. Park thinking Lee was you knowing (sorry, I've used a lot of spoilers so I'm trying to be more subtle lol) didn't make sense though. And then they did it again but with Lee wondering if Park was doing it. Didn't like it, really annoyed me cause they could've just spoken and it would've saved Park the tears. I swear communication is an issue for nearly everyone at one point. But that aside, I really really loved this show.

Cast/Acting: 10
Love them, they did a great job. All of them were great, as a 2moons2 fan, it was nice to see the guy who plays Kim again and the guy who plays Mek is very handsome. I'm excited to see anything else these actors will pursue

OST: 10
This was stunning. Jeff has an incredible voice and I really like the song. One of the best I've ever heard

Rewatch Value: 9.0
It's really really fun to watch so if you're bored and no bls are piquing your interest, this is definitely one that can be watched again

Leia Mais

Watch for Pitch and Bank.

Story, 5.5 :
I liked this series in the beginning and I really enjoyed watching Sun and Sky for the first few episodes. But their story became annoying really quickly. The lack of communication on Suns part really pissed me off and Sky was too hot headed and dramatic for my taste. I would have stopped watching if not for Pitch and Bank. Not gonna lie, Pitch kinda sucked in the first episode but second episode on, he was great. He and Bank were so funny and I think their story was much better. Their drama was more understandable and was resolved much quicker, which I enjoyed a lot. If only they'd had more screen time to show more of their relationship building and some more cute couple scenes.

Acting, 6.0:
Sky wasn't very good at dramatic scenes, Sun was a bit too stony for my taste but that is more of a charecter critique than an acting one. Pitch and Bank were pretty good, not incredible but good enough.

Music, 5.5:
I didn't pay much attention to the music so I can't really say much.

Rewatch Value, 4.0:
I would not watch this again. I will watch Pitch and Bank edits because I really do like them but they don't have enough screen time to justify watch all the episodes again.

Overall, 6.0:
I enjoyed it but I think that it's not worth all the hours it took to watch. That being said, I really like the first few episodes and Pitch and Bank are cute so I'm giving it a higher rating than I would had Pitch and Bank not existed. Watch this if you want but if you want Pitch and Bank alone without Sky and Sun's annoying drama, just watch edits on YouTube.
