Well...that was something

I'm gonna tell you rn that I already watched all three seasons and i can easily say season 1 will never be beaten. SUCH A GOOD WELL DONE KDRAMA! The drama, the subtle humor, the action, romance aaahhhhhhhhhhhh JUST YES!! A long kdrama which allows so much development between characters which is what makes it so good. BUT....Holy shit what are the last two seasons? From killing characters unnecessarily to making one of the actors literally be lowkey racist towards the black people??? Bruh,,, I know yall know what I'm talking about. Them making that guys twin be a dude w dreadlocks and talking in a blaccent was NOT it. But yeah, season 1 outsold.

Cute, funny, romantic, and a lot of k-drama references

Honestly when the show ended I was a bit disappointed because it felt like it ended in the middle of an episode. You know how at the end of a show they show everyone’s endings and wrap it up so you could assume what happens next with the characters, but everything felt so open ended? I don’t know if that was the intention but it didn’t feel like it was. I genuinely watched the last ep fully convinced there was gonna be an ep 13 and 14 cause I was curious about the second leads and main leads future. Oh well. I guess this shows that the show was good since it kept me interested and invested in everyone’s plotlines.

The story itself was new, I never really saw a concept like this where I wouldn’t find the trope weird. (When they somehow involve the ‘sibling’ title to love interests) I really hoped they wouldn’t make it look morally wrong by making the ML consider the FL’s mother like his. And although he did, they atleast kept it distant from the FL so the couple never considered each other siblings (unlike Her Private Life trope..).

Overall, I would say my favourite part of the show was the second couple(CEO and Writer), I swear they were the reason I wanted to continue watching. They were so cute albeit their scenes would sometimes look awkward, but I sweaaarrr their trope is so adorable!!And I didn’t expect them AT ALL!!Which is why they intrigued me the most.

The third lead couple wasn’t really my cup of tea but I did root for them. They’re one of the main reasons I wanted atleast 2 more eps so I could see how their story pans out.

Overall I loved most of the characters there. I didn’t like the ending much but it’s worth watching.

Better than S1 and S2

If i’m being honest, amongst the other seasons, this one by far was the most interesting one to me. Plotwise and actionwise, it was very entertaining and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they did better than some shows would when they make a third season.

Though I think there were many unnecessary deaths (won’t spoil who but I mean..most deaths that happened were pretty predictable and stupid)

And yes I liked this season better but only plotwise. Everything else seemed to remain the same, acting wasn’t all that better and the monsters are still goofy looking, I don’t know- they’re supposed to be scary but they just look incredibly funny and so very obviously fake. And I guess that won’t ever change because the whole point of this show is people turning into all kinds of monsters.

The ending was a bit confusing imo, I have no idea how Hyunsu ended up bringing back that little kid from monsterazation when he was literally goo???

And if it’s been revealed that monsters can be reborn and turn into neohumans, why couldn’t Yisu do the same? I thought she’s already neohuman so she couldn’t die— actually I don’t really remember what happened with her in the end but I doubt she actually died…Yeah, the ending was a little too vague for me.

Overall it was pretty entertaining though and action this season was neat. Lots of unnecessary deaths but I guess for the sake of shock value they had to do something.

perfect movie

man where do i begin…
first off, i started this movie because i kept seeing edits of it all over tiktok (yeah my source is tiktok unfortunately ?) but doesn’t matter because either way i’m grateful i got introduced to this banger of a movie.

the beginning of the movie was lowkey insane and confusing, me and my friend watched it together and we kept having theories of what was going to happen and what was happening throughout it, it was really fun to try and guess how predictable it is.

regardless of its predictability, theres a whole other side to the movie in which you will NOT be able to predict…like…at all…? the movie takes the craziest turns and then mellows it out by giving us a sweet coupley scene and then something crazy happens again- the thing is, i would’ve thought this whole movie is just a big nothing burger if it wasn’t funny- but the movie is HILARIOUS!!! ? like genuinely, i don’t think i’ve ever laughed this much at a korean movie. their humor back in the day was truly unmatched.

although this movie was like, 2hours, swear it did not feel like it was that long at all. it went by so fast and after it ended it made you feel that strange empty feeling. that feeling that gets you like “oh man, i wish this didn’t have to end.” that type of feeling.

this movie also doesn’t have any kissing scenes or anything of that nature which honestly surprised me since it kept going in the most provocative direction in the beginning (and honestly throughout the movie too) , the entire thing was so adorable and incredibly done. the plotwist in the end had left both me and my friend in shock and excitement- although it gets you a bit frustrated by the time the couple clearly fall for each other, the story has a very beautiful ending that makes the entire movie come together in a beautiful way.

the chemistry between the actors was also a thing to note, so beautiful, till this day i have no idea how actors don’t fall for each other when they have these type of roles lol

overall, the movie is great! comedy, romance and entertainment- you have it all packaged right there. the only reason i didn’t give it a ten is because some parts of the movie were a lil too weird for me (and somehow brushed away lol, like the constant motel scenes and the ML’s lowkey pervvy thoughts throughout the movie although im glad they didnt make it into a huge part of his personality) and the movie was honestly super confusing at times that i genuinely had trouble figuring stuff out , the cut scenes were sometimes a bit sudden and would leave you confused but i guess that was the movies whole point since its very uhhhh,,, well, you just gotta watch the movie to get it!

nonetheless, i won’t act too nitpicky, the movie was really good and thats all you need to know- the nitpicks i pointed out are just some things that bothered *me* personally but overall its really good and i enjoyed it very much. i was invested the entire time and loved both of the characters despite them both being crazy lol.

super great movie! and if you love old-esque looking movies + korean movies then you’re especially going to enjoy this! (lil tip, you can watch this entire movie on youtube…thats what me and my friend did lol…enjoyyy)

Forbidden love…crimes, tension, cheating, everything.

The first time I was introduced to this movie was when RM from BTS came out with his single, “Closer”. The music video was this movie, and I was immediately intrigued. However I never got to watch it. Later, my friend told me she watched the movie, and said it was one of the best movies she ever watched. Once again it got added into my movie list, and yet, I still haven’t gotten to watching it.

Only today, while I was bored and in need of watching something, closer by RM was non stop replaying in my head, and I decided to watch it.

First off, I was caught off guard by the fact that this movie was 2 hours long.

I knew a little about the movie through my friend…”insomniac detective falls for one of his suspects.” Hmmm…sounds romantic right? What could they possibly need 2 hours for?

Then everything started confusing me.
The insomnianc detective in question was married, and the FL aka the suspect, was a widower, suspect of the murder of her late husband.

I was confused. Was this going to be an affair love story?
I didn’t like that one bit. If there’s one thing I dislike, it’s when writers try to make affairs seem romantic, to some extent I would’ve tolerated it if both parties had terrible partners, but that wasn’t the case at all. Well, I guess not the case for the detective, who was the one who silently initiated things in the first place.

I wondered why my friend praised this movie so much, and even though they never do anything physical in the first few minutes of the movie, there was definitely emotional cheating involved.

But I didn’t want to jump into anything since I wasn’t even halfway into the plot. So I trusted the process.

Things unravelled, and the plotwists kept me on my toes. But still, I could not find it in me to like the main characters. They both kept finding ways to make things worse for each other, but, you know how the quote goes..”The heart wants what it wants.” And that was very much the case for these two.

Towards the ending of the movie, I started feeling a little empathetic towards them. The tension, the struggle, the love albeit it being wrong. Everything was so well done, that at the end of everything I couldn’t even find it in me to be mad at them!

The ending broke me. And although I couldn’t understand why the two main characters did the things they did, and although I would still not support them and their actions, my heart ached for them regardless.

Amazing movie, amazing acting, and amazing camera work. I’m not usually a big fan of cinematography where they try to be too creative with their zoom ins and transitions and makes it feel like you should just focus on the camerawork rather than the movie itself, but they made you pay attention to both. The small zoom ins, and the way the camera is telling you, “Pay attention to this!” and you can’t help but listen and do so.

I recommend it, although the beginning is a little slow (in my opinion), everything gets better as the story goes on.

Watchable but disappointing

I found out about this movie after people pointed out that the actress from Atypical Family K-drama (the FL’s ‘sister’) was in a lesbian movie, and of course I was intrigued.

Korea doesn’t produce many GLs or lesbian centered movies (atleast not now), so I always look forward to watching a new one, but this movie is just too vague. Half of the time I had to fill in the gaps myself on what was happening, and the abrupt cuts they would have between some scenes (e.g the scene where she was talking to that guy in the junkyard about her gf and him asking her why she was being sensitive over him wanting to meet her gf and then her moving away and then the scene just cuts) There’s more examples, I’m sure you would notice them too. However the chemistry between the actresses was also not that good, I was expecting a lot more but throughout the movie it felt like Jisoo wasn’t reciprocating any of the feelings back and she was just with her for fun. I wanted to enjoy this movie, seeing two people in love but it turned bleak so fast and it remained that way throughout the movie.

But I guess the stereotype of lesbians wanting to move in with each other immediately after getting together is true ?

Overall, the movie isn’t that bad, it talks about homophobia though very briefly and they never really get into it too much. It felt like everytime they touched a new topic in the movie, it wouldn’t be brought up again at all.

I wasn’t satisfied with the ending either, like I said, too vague. But the beginning was cute I guess.

Wattpad fanfic belike

Honestly I don’t have anything bad to say about this lol. I don’t think the K-Drama was supposed to be anything high quality or amazing, I mean hello they had EXO in their casting, didn’t need anything more right??

It was a really quick watch which I liked a lot, the comedy there was good and I’ve had many moments where I giggled- either from the goofy brother or giggle-blush from Chanyeols flirting.

I’m not an EXO-L, but I really enjoyed this. I wish more idols made this type of content. I know if I saw BTS do this I would faint lol (good kind of fainting not the jealous kind fr)

It’s a cute little childhood friends to lovers trope, though there’s nothing explicitly romantic happening (no kissing) , it was still cute and enjoyable. And Sehun with the brother was also a cute plot.

Its a fun little quick watch, nothing special to rate though. If you’re an EXO-L you’ll probably enjoy this a loooot more than I did ?

Movie that makes you feel like you’re constantly on edge

Alright to be fair I kind of didn’t know what the hell was going on throughout the movie but that was just because I watched it on an app that translated it really badly- so most of the time I just had to guess what they were trying to say LMAO

But , I do have to say this movie kept me on my toes. I wanted to start this mainly because of Kim Seonho because I Looooove his acting, and he definitely showed how much of a versatile actor he is, because after seeing him in such a serious/badass light- I want to see him in a romantic one too!!

Anyway to go back to the movie, I really liked the concept and the theme of it, although I think the pacing was a little messy because half of the time I got confused about what the hell was happening, unless that was the point of the movie…then they did a great job.

Towards the end though, I wish they gave a little bit more of a solid reason why Seonhos character decided to help Marco instead of the whole ‘they’re both from the same organisation’, like why the sudden change of heart? He was going to earn money either way. But I guess that doesn’t really matter, the story wasn’t about him I guess.

And I also wished they maybe explained why the fake dad was so insistent on Marco to stay, they had me seriously convinced that they were father and son— unless that old man just wanted him to stay to get his surgery lol…

Anyway the thought of being in that situation is honestly terrifying but the plotwist was crazy, but nonetheless a very sweet ending.

I also can’t help but wonder if maybe Marco and Seonhos character could be related? But maybe those were just my hopes speaking. They look nothing alike to be related LOL but still, they have the potential I guess.

Overall the movie was pretty entertaining , a bit confusing but good. Kim Seonho doesn’t disappoint! Very good action movie!!

Stranger things vibes

At first it was a little boring and had a slow start, I had a really hard time watching it and figured I might drop it, but then my friend started watching it and she went a lot further with the show and started to talk to me about how good it is and that I should continue it, so I listened, and i’m glad I did!!!

Trust me, once they get into the hospital (wink wonk), shit goes DOWN! It’s so good.

The arcs built up, the way they connect things to each other and the way all of it slowly gets revealed.

I don’t want to spoil much but to say overall, this gave me a lot of stranger things vibes at first and I was lowkey here for it, they did it really well— it was like….watching schindlers list mixed with strangers things almost?

The betrayals the sacrifices, this will bring you to tears, truly. Also the ending had me jump out of my seat!!!! I hope season 2 happens!
I never really liked the actor (park seojoon) and didn’t think he and han sohee fit each other but they showed their chemistry and i enjoyed it a lot.

Its a good watch, 10eps, perfect honestly, they didn’t drag it out (except for maybe a little in the beginning but then again i am very impatient) , built the drama up well, every new ep something new gets revealed, although theres still some plotholes like (***spoiler) how does lady maeda know about chaeoks mother and what kind of teacher was she to her? why were they so deeply connected that lady maeda remembers her? also was the japanese painter in love w chaeoks mother?? this one is just my personal theory.

Anyway I recommend this! Good watch!

Such an interesting plot!!

I would like to imagine that when one dies they get to experience this, I’m not sure if the rules are the same when you sin (by killing yourself) and then you can only go through what he did or if in general people who die of natural causes die and go through that. I for one would like to experience different lives honestly, watching this from an outsider’s perspective isn’t the same so maybe I would regret saying that but watching this story unfold was so thrilling!!

Each character had their own problems and backgrounds, and the way the story came full circle on the second to last person his body entered to and then him entering his mothers body…what a plotwist!!!

Shows like this always keep me in check when I have bad thoughts and they make me realise that fighting through the bad will get me far. It really is not worth throwing life away over inconveniences that will one day end.

Very beautiful, I recommend it!!!

Gay people having a sad story once again

Coming into this film I knew that it’s not going to be some wholesome movie where two gay guys fall for each other and live a happy life. So a story between these two ensues and it’s extremely sad, and it delivers it well!

Though I was confused sometimes if Birdy was gay at all or not, he just seemed to be a lil too comfortable with his friends (it’s confirmed he’s gay later though).

The movie wasn’t anything special in my opinion, I’ve seen plenty stories where two guys are in an environment where they can’t be who they are so an angsty romance story starts between them.

However the movie is really beautiful and well done in showing their love story. The one thing I liked most is how music is what connected them most and their song in the movie is actually the title of the movie (or just a lyric i’m not sure) but the song is beautiful and i’m definitely adding it to my spotify playlist.

I also appreciate how they made a timeskip and made their older versions reunite, it makes me hope that they continued their love- maybe not since they were hesitant with each other but I think in the end they did try again. Love never expires and i’m sure both of them were waiting to find each other again even after all the years that passed.

Anyway the story is really beautiful, I unfortunately have a very short time span so I kept pausing and stopping the movie which led me to finish it in 2 days so I couldn’t exactly bond with the characters on the level where I would cry on their sad scenes but watching the sad scenes I kept thinking to myself how hard I would cry if only I had connected to them better. Their sad scenes really do tug on your heartstrings.

So sad how love in different forms isn’t accepted. Beautiful film.

Get ready to cry

I knew what I was getting myself into when starting this, from seeing the sad edits of this movie on tiktok and instagram, I just knew I had to watch it.

Despite this movie having a sad ending, it’ll also tell a beautiful story at the same time, and I knew that’s exactly what i’ll get, and I did!

It’s one of those movies that leave you heartbroken, or with that feeling you can’t really describe but you feel yourself grieving as if it’s you who’s going through it and not the characters.

Stories like these are heart wrenching, but it’s important to show these type of stories too. No matter how much you love someone, no matter how happy you once were with them, or how right it felt to be with them, when you’re not meant to be with someone, then you’re just not meant to be.

This story is something I connected with from my life, granted I didn’t have a marvellous ‘will they won’t they’ love story like they did, but some fragments of the story I could resonate with, and it’s true how you could go from loving someone and willing to fight to be with them, to having a fleeting moment of regret. It is something that will sneak up on you, no matter how many times you say you love this person.

On your wedding day was raw and funny and beautiful. It will make you cry…maybe, but it’ll most definitely leave you with an aching heart.

I rooted for them at the start and all the way till when they started dating, but once they broke up- I could just tell the spark wasn’t there anymore, and even if there were still unspoken feelings and longing ones too, there’s a moment that you allow yourself to see that this is not the person that will take a path with you but they will remain as a fond memory and that is equally beautiful too.

Very sad yet beautiful movie, watch it when you can!

No Hyunsu, barely s1 cast

Since i started this show couple of days ago because my friend told me to start it because season 2 is coming soon, most of my friends already watched it and tiktok spoiled a lot of stuff too. So I knew what I was getting myself into.

But like everyone said, yes, basically Hyunsu was barely a main character in there and the story revolved mostly around the military characters. I can’t lie the beginning of season 2 was really good but then somewhere inbetween I got bored because they kept showing characters that we didn’t know and their storylines, giving them arcs and sad moments but I didn’t care about them at all!

Like that woman who was like the second boss to people in the stadium and who kept that monster hidden, I don’t know if at the end of the episode she was given this plot so we feel bad for her because I certainly don’t. I don’t even care if that’s her family, like I don’t care about her or what happens to her, same thing with her daughter.

I think the only characters that I cared about were the original casting and the 3 main characters from the military and thats about it.

I think season 2 was a filler season for season 3 and I’m expecting it to be a lot more plot based around Hyunsu and the original casting a bit more! Especially since the ending showed another character from season 1 coming back!! I’m excited!!

Funny sweet romcom

I was expecting it to be your typical romcom and I wasn’t wrong! But I think the entire point of this movie was to make fun of the cliche romance movies, they took so many cute tropes and added all of them in one.

The chemistry between the actors could’ve been better honestly, I still think they were cute but definitely could’ve been better. On a side note, the actors still did well, I had so many moments where I laughed while watching the movie- it’s just silly in its own way and entertaining at the same time.

Amnesia plots in romance movies are usually the most cliche tropes ever and I think that was the whole gag (especially the doctor who was the one who kept mentioning movies about this plot LMAO).

Overall, I loved it a lot! The beginning was a little boring but once we get to the amnesia part it gets much better and entertaining, super cute and a good watch.
