2024

good characters and acting, problems with pace and overall story

interesting cases, nothing more

not a 10 bc it was too short

cool youth drama but i feel old already

thoughtful 

thoughtful pt.2

not as good as the first season BUT i love it so much i can't even

many better thrillers out there

different & short so it's worth watching

i wish i could watch it for the first time again

at least it was better than the movie

excellent makjang, i'll miss waiting for the episodes each week...

feels like home, a really comforting watch but not everyone's taste

nice chemistry

way too draggy, the first season was much better and the problem was not the change of main actress, it's the writing. 

can be comforting if you don't put much thought 

not bad chemistry between the leads, but psh acting still hasn't improved much.

loved the main couple and the overall story

UGHHHHH so much wasted potential, it's unreal.

now this was a very good watch.

i sweaaaar this was so damn good

the whole idea of two people with a failed marriage falling in love one more time sounds so exciting but queen of tears failed to do every given task

an outstanding thriller supported by even more outstanding performaces. it's not your typical crime series and that's what makes it's special.

i loved how the drama makes you appreaciate the smallest things happening to you, because every emotion that you feel no matter what it is, it tells you that you're alive and that you need to keep going. the drama tells you that every one of us has a story to tell, all these characters, despite being well-known actors, they all seemed like random people fighting with their life struggles.

such a precious, emotional and beautiful experience. a plot-driven drama where every character matters, where every character has a story to tell and is there for a reason; a drama that shows you that being a good-person is always the better option

i really loved lovely runner until the second half, the story wasn't really going where i thought it would, but still, i loved the main couple's interactions, they had an amazing chemistry and made my heart flutter a lot of times.

but that's kinda all about it. the second half was very disappointing, the chemistry was still there, but the story went nowhere. the characters were not developed properly, the support characters were there for no reason and i couldn't care less about them all.

comedy is just not my thing... i can adimit that mr queen is a great show, very innovative and ambitious, with well-thought plot and phenomenal acting, but the moments that were supposed to be funny were not in my opinion. i literally laughed no more than two or three times during these 1h20 minutes long 20 episodes.

the romance i enjoyed, but i was kinda disappointed by the ending.

'and now with all of your strenght, live a better life''

maou is revenge at its finest. i struggled a lot with watching it, i enjoyed some parts of it, while other parts were just meh. the two main leads' dynamics carried the entire show, but there are a handful of side characters that i didn't really care about. so many melodramatic scenes make the drama skip-worthy.

ohno satoshi was brilliant, he shows a lot while not doing much.

all the actors carried the plot on their shoulders since they all did amazing. damn, kwon yool suit these type of characters so well
as for the drama, you know korean thrillers always have similar vibes, it's kinda hard nowadays to make something different and actually impress people. as a thriller, i think it did pretty well, i loved how they had a different take on drug addiction and the whole concept of the lemon mulberry was interesting.

the blood of youth has high entertainment value and it's very easy to enjoy. usually, dramas that aim mainly to entertain people, often fail to maintain a good story and it often lack depth. but the blood of youth mantains high-quality till the end.

a truly beautifully gentle show with the softest romance to ever exist. kawauchi is hands down one of the best female leads out there, it was a pleasure to simply watch her and follow her daily life. sugisaki hana delivered a very natural performace, i feel like she really managed to fully connect with her character.

the drama is realistic and raw, not too overdramatic. the beauty hides in its simplicity.

the first half of the drama was filled with beautiful pure romantic moments, you follow two amazing people slowly falling in love. it just makes you love love sometimes. the way the fl started learning sign language the same day they met, the way she was constantly hoping she'd see him, the way him calling her ''actress'' made her believe in herself more... and at the same time he was appreciating her efforts and couldn't help but softly smile when he sees her-- i just loved these two.

what an emotional ride it was...

the second season was painful to watch from start to finish. the first 10ish episodes i was simply annoyed, felt like things were going nowhere...they were moving slowly but steadily and shit escalated so quickly i had no time to react. suddenly i was crying. i guess it's because i started watching with high expectations and couldn't get into the second season at first. the second half was filled with so many emotions, good and bad;

wachable if you block your ears and only watch with your eyes...  /// review 

serendipity's embrace is an example of how every rom-com drama should be - simple, fluffy and short. without any useless misunderstandings or conflicts between the leads. i loved how they didn't focus on the romance only and added some depth to the plot. it was a nice-watch even though it has some flaws.

The drama is very addicting, it's short and new things happen in every episode. The story progresses quickly and keeps you wanting for more. And most importantly, the ending actually made sense so you won't have a bitter taste in your mouth after finishing it. /// review

great acting & cinematography, had some issues with the direction and some parts of the story.

// second chance // ; i like my thrillers way more intense than that

the characters were supposed to be interesting but ep by ep things just kept moving around in circles and it pissed me off. i didn't feel the ''well-loved'' bromance here.

cute but i prefer the movie

damn, how i wish there was more 

at the end of the day, i'm so thankful that this drama exists. it was such an emotional and memorable journey. what we all expected was a cute rom-com but it ended up being so much more than that.

worths its popularity 1000%. an unique, once in a lifetime experience.

the cutest bl couple ever

loved the plot and how they handled the mental health problmes. 

amazing for a short movie and has a good potential to be turned into a drama. 

one of the good ones this year. psh slayed so hard. i loved how her character was developed ans how the story never felt draggy or boring. the last 4 eps could have been better imho but the ending was really nice. and the male lead character felt a bit bland next to bit na.

a drama that deserves more recognition bc it's actually good. there was a lotta things that don't really make sense but idc bc it was such a fun ride.
