Some Scars can't be healed
This show needs no introduction nor does its leading lady.A show that depicts the darker side of humans and how monstrous and inhumane they can get. A broken and scarred girl who swore revenge on those who made her life hell returns and unleashes the same hell on each and everyone of them making their lives worse than death.
She decides to take away everything they had from them and in the process meets a guy who is too broken and scarred just like her. He becomes her support when no one in the world did that for her, making her start to believe in others again.
The show will make you feel so many emotions. You will cry for the victims and hate the guts of the bullies. The cast has nailed their roles be it of the good or bad one.
Song Hye Kyo proved with this show that she ain't just a pretty face but a phenomenal actress too who can pull of both sweet and darker roles.
(The saddest part is that the things that are shown do happen in real life too and even way worse. Many have faced it growing up and many are facing it even now and this will continue on cuz such monsters exists everywhere at any age groups. I do pray for the well being of those who have suffered such atrocities and hope they are able to move past those scars.)

Nine Tails returned with a Bang.....
I think as everyone knows, this show did surpass its prequel both in terms of action and story. The characters introduced and their relationship development was damn good. The show was captivating and engaging right from the first episode and didn't feel as if it was dragged unnecessarily.By the end of S1 I hoped that Rang's character deserved a happy ending too and BOOM when the announced the sequel I was so happy. Rang getting his one love and going all fiesty foxy to protect her was so good to watch. LY as the big bro getting to meet his little bro again, from fighting against one another to side by side with him was cherry on top. Honestly I felt Yeon chemistry with the FL here way more than the one in S1 but dude is a one woman man and won't look at anyone else other than his own lady.
Overall the show was a bang and ended quite wholesomely.

LDW and Kim Bum were the perfect casting for Nine Tailed Fox.
I would say LDW as a nine tailed fox was his most charming role till now. Be it his hairstyle or his attitude, everything was top notch and suited the nine tailed fox character but the one guy who stole the show was Kim Bum.Kim Bum as Rang and his entire story arc from hating his brother's guts and trying to hurt him, all the way to sacrificing himself just so his brother could return. The cold natured fox who hated humans ended up making deep emotional bonds with so many and got himself a new family was so good to see especially with the little boy. Damn I felt way more sad for his death than I felt for LDW's.
I have always been a fan of Cho Bo Ah, from her days of side roles to her playing a psycho teen who is obsessed with her teacher to an army officer. She has nailed all of the roles and did the same here. If there is one actress other than Yoo In na who really suits LDW, it would be her.

The sizzling chemistry between the leads is cherry on cake
No Spoilers:A broken girl meets a savior with a sad past and together they decide to take on all those who have scarred them. The highlight of the show was the chemistry between the leads.
Jung Yoo Min is made for main lead roles and she proved it in the show, while Sung Hoon charming as ever too did well.
Each and every character played their roles so well, you do end up loathing and loving them.
I was sceptical at first as the webtoon had quite many chapters and whether they will be able to get the entire story arc done in 12 eps and not rush it but they certainly hit the bullseye.

It is like every other average fluffy romantic C-drama with nothing new to offer
The drama doesn't bring you anything new or out of the box but is like every other cute fluffy generic dramas that you have seen before many times. The same ML and FL meeting one another after along time, same unidimensional SML being added only to create misunderstandings, a secondary couple created to utilize the rest of episode's time, same lack of communication and unnecessary dragging of the story.The actors have done good with their roles. The roles and characters weren't something with much emotional arcs to offer but are unidimensional so were pulled of good.
I dropped it after E11 as it is just lame and boring to watch.
The only reason to watch this drama is if you are a fan of the actors or you love these average cute fluffy tropes otherwise this drama can be skipped.

One Last Emotional Ride With The Stolen Bride
If you have seen the trailer and read the synopsis, then you already know the drama will be a rollercoaster of emotions from humor to heartbreak. and it delivers everything spot on. You better have some tissues ready as there are plenty of moments where you will need them. The pacing is decent and I am glad they didn't make it 16 eps as it would have been extremely draggy to watch. Every character has their own scars they hide from others but slowly let it out and will have you root for their happiness. For me it is a one time watch as I don't want to go through all the rollercoaster again but would recommend to you if you are ready for such genres.Was this review helpful to you?

A good concept destroyed by horrible storyline
The drama is living upto its title: Bad Memory Eraser because that's what the viewers need after watching this pile of trash.I am all for SFL and ML being together instead of a cowardly and zero self respect shit who is easily manipulated by a guy who almost sexually assaulted her to provoke his brother. How the fuck was she even a doctor when she is so dumb.
FL knows she isn't ML's first love and instead of being honest with him and loving him enough so he can get over his past she just hurts him more.
Then there is the moron little shit who is responsible for everyone's suffering. Ends his brother's career, reason for his brother's depression, forces himself on the girl his brother loves. Yet this girl goes after him to make him happy.
The parents are pathetic to say the least with no redemption arc. The worst mother you can give a guy is given to ML.

It takes a Monster to kill a Monster
This is what you call a good female oriented action thriller.Han So Hee nailed it, be it the action or the raw emotions each and everything was spot on. All the training she underwent for the role is visible on screen. A girl who is ready to go through anything to get revenge on the man who killed her father was shown in a phenomenal way. All the grief, rage, desperation and shock the character had till the end.
PHS as the mafia boss was so damn good and I don't think you can hate him till the end. Its simple with him, no matter what never break his trust or you will be sent straight to Jesus.
AHB's too was good as a police officer and a brother who wants to end the drug trade to avenge his sister's death.
The story is so engaging and keeps you on the edge. There wasn't a moment where it felt dragged. The icing on the cake was the raw and gory action. Be it the cage fights or the final showdown. I enjoyed it to the fullest.

I always loved the web novel and was glad it was made into a web show with such a stellar star cast and high budget. The show didn't disappoint at all and if anything was even better than the web novel too.The characters and their backstories be it the good guys or bad ones were given a good time to help build the hype for final episodes. The cast and the chemistry between them was amazing , HHJ proved again why she is one of the best actresses as she nailed both roles of a young agent and a mother who has a teenage son.I won't be comparing the VFX/CGI to the shows in Hollywood but for a k drama they exceeded my expectations with flying colors.They really upped the ending as compared to the web novel be it destroying the school or new superpowered characters and a nice tease for S2 in the post credits. Everyone deserved what they got.
There were a few issues i had in the end as i wanted DS's family reunion to be a little bit more and not just a few seconds as it looked rushed and didn't give a high emotional impact I wanted . I also kind of hoped for BS to take HS flying just like his dad did with his mom would have been a nice throwback.
It is the best superhero kdrama produced till now and I hope for more if they go for S2 as they teased in the end.
