Pretty Good
Squid Game was good, but not as good as other dramas I've seen. I thought the characters were good, great soundtrack. However I feel like, as much as Gihun is likeable, people forget that he's a deadbeat dad who, at the end, was a little too willing to abandon his daughter to go back to the Squid Game. I think it's a very enjoyable show and easily rewatchable. I wish Ali lived, I would have loved to see him make it further in the Game but I understand that he had to die to show Sangwoo's more sinister side. Squid Game was good, not the best, but good.Was this review helpful to you?

A Very Good Zombie Watch
I loved how the All of Us Are Dead zombies we're similar to those in Train to Busan, the characters even acknowledging this. The zombie actors and affects were fantastic. The characters were compelling, each with their own motivations. However, I felt that Gwinam wasn't as threatening as he could have been. Until his last fight with Cheongsan, I never felt like the characters were in that much danger, they would just throw him off the school building and go back to their business. I never really felt bored watching it, despite many scenes of just characters talking. I was shocked when they "killed" Cheongsan (I will die on the Cheongsan lives hill). Overall, I had a blast watching All of Us Are Dead and am excited to see what they do with season 2.Was this review helpful to you?

Fantastic
Extraordinary You was the first kdrama I ever saw. I mainly watched it because I'm a kpop Stan and wanted my first kdrama to have someone, an idol, that I know in it. When I saw Rowoon was in it, I decided to give it a try. First off, the score is mesmerizing, absolutely amazing. The OSTs are great as well. I had gotten in VERIVERY before watching Extraordinary You and didn't even realize that My Beauty was already in my playlist when I watched it. Cool coincidence. Along with the score, I thought Extraordinary You had a compelling story. The comic idea was great. Overall, I thought Extraordinary You was a great drama that was well acted, and a great introduction into Kdramas as a whole.Was this review helpful to you?

Funny and Entertaining
Black was great. I though it was funny and entertaining with enjoyable characters. The only issue I really have is the ending. I feel as though thinking to hard about it makes it harder to understand and messes up the rest of the show. Despite that, Black is a great drama and totally worth watching. I liked the story and the characters. The plotline of Moogang and his brother was crazy and incredibly intriguing, one of the coolest plotlines I've seen. I thought Haram was a strong female lead. All in all, while Black is not my favorite drama, I still think it's great!Was this review helpful to you?

Mind-blowing and Fantastic
Strangers from Hell was unlike anything I had seen before. Im Siwan's rent must have been due because he bodied JongU. The acting, especially Siwan's was impeccable. Lee Dongwook is my favorite acter and watching this after seeing him as Lee Yeon in Tale of the Nine-Tailed was crazy. The twists and turns in Strangers from Hell we're just twisty and turny enough to make it mind-blowing but not completely unbelievable. Strangers from Hell had one of the craziest endings in anything I'd ever seen. When I finished it for the first time, I was completely shocked by it. Watching JongU's sanity deteriorate was fascinating yet heartbreaking. Strangers from Hell is truly one of, not only Kdramas, but piece of media I've ever seen.Was this review helpful to you?
