A good drama adaptation to a manga atlast.
Alice in borderland is now among the few adapted from manga (or anime) which was fucking decent. Once again Netflix does a fucking great job, like it did with the movie Bleach.The drama itself was quite engaging from the very first episode till the last one. It is a plot driven story, and the twist and turns, the ticking clock, action and thriller gives us a nail biting & head scratching experience. (That's the shit I liked about it the most).
The life-at-stake games are the fire of the story; fueled by it's compelling characters and the action+mystery combination. This drama will surely keep you on the edge of your seats, keep you guessing and when you will think you fucking know where it's going, it will punch you in the gut & leave you there to witness it's unpredictablity.
The first season just felt like the introduction chapter to me. You will get know the ropes of the story, how the games are played and what type of them are. But still we have yet to know how the duck they got into the game? & who are the almighty cocks who runs these games? Aliens? God?
That's why I am waiting for the 2nd season, and hope we will get some of the answers.

It's makes you wanna FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!
I watched START UP for three reasons; first, I like that Suzy chick, second, it was on trending for a long time (still is) and third, fuck you there is no third reason.It is a nice story, really it is. All the characters were amazing and the OSTs were orgasm to ears.
The story being filled with passion for dreams, with romance and drama sprinkled perfectly on the top of it. The characters are lovable, especially the granny. Some characters were inspirational like the father, who quits his shit job to pursue his dreams. Then there were some cunt like characters, those who you want to bury in the deepest of the seven fucking hells. (the are necessary evil)
Though the centre of the whole story being, the three main characters. People might get confused as who was the fucking male lead in the first few episodes. Is it the Han boy, who wrote the letters, helps the female lead and was at the centre of everything. Or was it the Nam lad, who just got barges in later and steals the show away.
And I see people debating about the two male main leads. But for me, I don't give two fucks about how the Han was robbed by the Nam and bla-bla-bla.
Because the romance wasn't the main theme mfs, it was the dream. The passion. Seo Dal MI wants to be a successful CEO so her dad's dream could live through her. In Jae wants to prove her in the patriarch society that women can and will be great leaders. Nam Do San wants to be become his better self and unburden the title of "genius" others give him. Because he wants to be a confident decent man than a skull-cracked genius. Though Han doesn't have any dream, cause he is already successful, so he wants to help those who wants to make their dream come true. (fucking Genie)
So if you watch it for romance it is then just a mediocre shit. But if you see it for what it is, then it is worth watching.
It will make you wanna FOLLOW YOUR DREAM.

Can't wait for the second season.
At first I thought sweet home is a survival thriller drama. I never intended to actually watch it. But I did, and was so fucking into the story, setting and the characters.The story focuses on the theme "inner monsters" awaken by your "desires". And I straight away dig that shit! I liked how the drama was so fucking eerie, even before the monsters come into picture.
The characters are the soul of the story. Sweet home does a great job to make the viewers connect with the characters. You hate some of them and fucking abhor the others. Until you get to know about their back stories and then you start to sympathize with them and even share their feelings.
It is fun to watch when the characters are in moral conflict. When the line between "right" and "wrong" gets blurred, you really look forward to see what the characters do in those kind of situations.
If the show wouldn't had gone a little fast paced at the last half episodes, I would have fucking loved it even more.
Now that I have finally finished watching the drama, I can't wait for the next season. That's why I am starting the manhwa (as it is adapted from a comic).

Every humans have the flower of evil. Psychopaths are the ones who nurture their flower.
ΦΦΦ"Psychopaths."
What comes to your mind when you hear this psychology term?
A person who is unable to feel emotions or empathy. A person who is can easily manipulate others for their benefit. A person who is less human. Serial killer. Fucked up personality.
Etc. Etc.
It is known that psychopaths are those who are feared and abhorred by everyone. They are bad news, and should be avoided.
Why? Because they can't feel emotions. They won't emphathise with anyone.
But, psychopaths are still human.
They bleed like us. They can get hurt like us(emotionally). Even they have the ability to love. They can be sad, angry, jealous, guilty.
This society has a great prejudice against psychopaths. It isn't necessary that every psychopaths will be a murderer. No! Even they can lead a normal life like everybody else.
This is what the drama: "The flower of evil" shows us, magni-fucking-ficently!
The story is just great. Truly a masterpiece! The characters are so relateable, the setting perfect and the actors have done a mind blowing job. Hats off to them!
This drama just has everything fucking thing. You name it; Romance, Drama, Action, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller.
It will make you laugh, make you feel wholesome, then shock you with a twist, keep you guessing on the edge of your seats, completely take you by surprise and then leave you with heart warming but tear jerking moments.
(Now that you have read this review. I really appreciate it. So now GO AND WATCH THIS DRAMA.)

Jelly! Jelly! Jelly! Jelly!
This drama is peculiar. Very.I had trouble understanding what the nurse Ahn sees are ghosts, or phantoms, or a different life form. In the beginning, I was tricked into thinking maybe it's just all an imagination of nurse Ahn. That she is suffering from 8 th grade syndrome. But it's not.
As I said the story is peculiar. But still fascinating! It is novel; something you won't see quite often.
The whole story revolves around the school, which was built over an infamously mysterious pound. There are jellies, there are people who can see them. Some people who protect other people from the malevolent jellies and some who use those jellies for their own selfish purposes. The main male lead has an unusual power which can recharge the powers of those who can see jellies.
After completing the drama, there were a lot of things left unanswered. There is still a list of mystery surrounding the school, the people who are trying to control the school's power. The male leads power. Etc.
So go ahead and watch the drama. It is a fun watch, of course. The acting is nicely performed. Unusual story, eerie setting, uncanny magic, and peculiar characters will surely make it a worth watch.
It is only 6 episodes. Plus there might be a second season coming.
Jelly out.

Nice banana!
I liked this mini series. It has short (2 min) episodes with multiple couple stories. Easily available on YouTube (channel "72sec tv").This series is roughly 16 mins, combining all the 8 episodes, and just within those short period of time it successfully entertains you. You get to see about first love, first kiss, first sleepover, falling in love with your friend, a stranger and so much more. All those different stories about different couples in this series are unique, yet running at the same space and time.
The narrative was a bit fast, so I had to keep my eyes rolling swiftly. Otherwise it was short & sweet. Plus it has a second season.
