MUST WATCH!
I wasn’t expecting much from this show but holy shit it did not disappoint!Each episode was filled with something new and interesting, the plotwists they would end each episode with made you want to continue immediately!
I’m in awe and i’m so sad that it only had 7 episodes.
I wasn’t rooting for anyone in the show until Mimo came. I’m so glad they connected a mother daughter relationship into the plot, it mended so well with the flow. Shows how strong mothers love can truly be.
I cannot feel angry at any of the characters in there, the grandma who hunted down Mimo was also a mother who was filled with grief and pain, Momi was no different. She wanted to protect her daughter just like she said in the car when she was fleeing.
Momi’s mother sacrificing herself in the end was so heart wrenching as well. She was painted as a heartless monster who didn’t care but a mother’s instinct and love can never truly go away.
I cried in the end, i’m really happy Mimo had her best friend with her in the end. And if the show ever did a sequel I would definitely watch!
I also wonder what happened to the daughter who needed that kidney donated…Hm!
Overall, amazing show! Great acting from everyone and great pacing. Must watch and it’s quick watch as well! 10/10!!

It will ruin your day
But in a good way. This movie is so well done but it’ll TUG on your heartstrings. Nowadays zombie movies are always copy pastes from each other, and though you can’t do many different things with this genre, this movie totally does it. You get attached to the people there and at some point you really start fearing if your favourite character will die (they probably will here ..) it’s heartbreaking, especially the ending. I’ve been told to watch this movie since forever and always pushed it behind, today I watched it and it kept my attention as well as my emotions. Amazing casting, great acting and overall an amazing plot of the movie. So much action and suspense, I loved it. You won’t regret watching this!!Was this review helpful to you?

not good but not bad
name a bigger cliche lmaoof course the lady whos not like other girls makes the cold brooding CEO fall in love with her by being silly and goofy..
okay im not a hater but the way people hyped this up i was really expecting the best kdrama ever.
in my opinion i think the side couple did it better and their story was much more interesting and different. i wished they were the main couple honestly..
the characters did have a lot of chemistry i do admit but at some point it just felt very boring and you lose interest pretty fast.

ehhh
after trying to watch the chinese version (and failing because lord have mercy its painful), i switched to this one and its actually much better in my opinion. although i did have some trouble going through some episodes because it would get boring and repetitive, but i still managed to get through and it wasn't even that bad. it isnt the best but its watchable...i guess im not really a big fan of when people cant take a no for an answer and just keep forcing themselves to the person. its noy my cup of tea but it had its cute moments.Was this review helpful to you?

Bruh
This is just one big BRUH moment. I honestly felt zero connection with most of the characters except for the lesbian side couple. They were the only reason I kept watching this boring ass kdrama. This was just the most frustrating watch ever, especially since this story follows a girl whos head over heels over a guy whos CLEARLY an asshole and no he will not change lol, im still pissed they made her end up with him when he showed 0 signs of development and actually changing as a person. All he did was apologise a bit and that was it for her...Potato boy deserved better!! And that ending scene where she longingly looked at him through the window makes me think she might've regretted her choice in the end, which is both satisfiying and also frustrating at the same time.
ALSO I was really looking forward to seeing the GL side couple share a lil cute kiss or a lil more scenes atleast but I'll take what I can get.

SATISFYING REVENGE KDRAMA
Especially in season 2...wow, watching the bad guys get what they deserve is just..MWAH!! I am a bit confused about the ending, like why were they walking inside a prison?? Or maybe I was distracted and didn't see the full clip lol...but yeah besides that I have literally zero complaints. Just such a great kdrama and amazing acting from every actor in the show. On a side note some scenes are gory and very rough but i swear its worth getting through the episodes to see the bad guys get their ass beaten!!Was this review helpful to you?
I NEED MORE OF THIS SHOW
I got this show recommended by a friend and the moment she told its got only 6 episodes i knew it was gonna be bomb. AND IT WAS!Listen 6 episodes are easy to fuck up too, its not like this show is one of a kind never done before but it was such a good build up and i liked almost every character in there!!! I was so invested and it was only episode 1. The arc the build up the plotwists, theres really nothing to complain about honestly. The only complaint I have is that 6 episodes is too short for such a good concept of a kdrama.
The detectives and their back stories and the fucked up family, it was all just so good. Such a good and quick watch although I was dreading the ending because of how immersed I got into this story.
Also I really wish they showed the siblings get along but I guess its a too far fetched of a wish…the plotwist in the end shocked and disgusted me, I had all sorts of theories under my belt but it never would’ve been that…Oh well. Good shock value.
I recommend this a lot!! Amazing actors and acting, such a good quick show.

COMFORT KDRAMA!!
Oh goddd where do i begin with this one?I finished this kdrama a long time ago, maybe in 2020 and i’m rewatching it with a friend of mine right now. It’s one of the most comforting, feel good, a slice of life kdramas. I really recommend it! Of course it’s not going to be everyones cup of tea but this was such a silly and cute show, every character was likeable (except for the ex until the end) and well built and had good chemistry with each other. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend for anyone who enjoys silly kdramas like this to watch it!!

a MUST watch
i started this kdrama a couple of hours ago and i finished it all in one sitting. its very rare nowadays for a kdrama to catch my attention like this, but jesus christ this was one of the most interesting eye catching kdramas ever. not one episode was boring and each cliffhanger ending made me want more. such a difficult watch because of how the violence and sometimes you get frustrated watching it— but it’s just something you can’t keep your eyes off. acting was phenomenal especially from the actor of sieun, the performance when he finally brokedown and yelled in school before punching the window in the corridor struck my heart with pain. everytime he would express sadness i would feel it with him…just amazing casting. on a side note: what i felt was unnecessary was youngyi’s sudden involvement into their friendship? perhaps thats why i was on beomseoks side for a while even though at some point i just stopped defending him and slowly started to dislike him, i still feel zero connection with youngyi…her character feels so unnecessary if we don’t look at beomseoks jealousy. but i guess she was only needed for stirring stuff up with beomseok for the sake of the plot but still it just felt so random that they befriended her…overall such a great show. sieun and sooho have the best chemistry out of everyone in the show. you can just tell they care for each other a lot…love those two the most<3Was this review helpful to you?

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.

two crazy people falling in love!!
AGHHHH i love this show so much!!!Its exactly like the title says “mad for each other”, and the two love interests were certainly crazy and mad for each other LOL
i didn’t expect myself to love this show as i would, but every episode was freaking hilarious and so fun to watch.
to break it down for you *starts break dancing*
okay for real, to break it down, its essentially a woman with some sort of OCD/ PTSD disorder who falls in love with a cop whos got anger issues.
when those two were first introduced i was curious on how they would make a MAN with ANGER ISSUES…seem like a good lovable character. but oh my god. I LOVED HIM.
both characters are most certainly insane and the shows title didn’t lie one bit. but their craziness was done well because it blended well with the humor and it evened it out.
this show was seriously silly and funny, there’s many moments that made me laugh, especially the ending where they made up 😭 you’ll see what i mean if you watch it!
overall, the characters in the beginning were frustrating (especially the FL) but its obvious that that was the whole point of it. so it didn’t bother me, because thats how she was meant to be lol.
but other characters (such as the women neighbours) were also a little annoying in the beginning but they had their development once a man who dresses up as a woman was introduced and they learned to accept him for who he was.
thats also something i wanted to mention, its how the ML was always so supportive and open to that neighbour characters choice of dressing up as a woman and being referred to as a woman. everyone in the show didn’t show any transphobia or homophobia, it was refreshing.
such a well done show, everyones dynamics with one another was flowing smoothly and i thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.
the one little nitpick i have is the makeup in the show, i think the FL had so much concealer that it was painfully cakey whenever she was on screen, sometimes i could even see the makeup on the ML, but like i said its a small nitpick of mine. it didnt bother me THAT much but i kept noticing how at the moments where the FL should look distressed and as if she has no makeup on, she clearly has makeup on and its cakey! 😭 but that doesn’t matter fr, the rest of the show was really good.
i recommend it!!

Time travel but a drag on
I usually enjoy time travel based shows, and usually they’re always well done. Can’t really make a time travel show boring right?Well….
Listen, I’m not saying this K-Drama was bad but throughout the show, things just dragged on unnecessarily long. So many plot holes left inside as well.
So the ‘clones’ that the main characters are switching between, what the hell happened to them? It just felt so surreal that they kept switching between the bodies and there seemed to have been zero consequences, just a few people going “oh you changed!”, but it only happened with Minju and Junhee.
What I also found a little weird, was how they made Siheons doppelganger …gay?
So Koo Yeonjun was gay, and then Siheon entered his body and made him date a woman. Doesn’t anyone else find that a little weird? I mean I get that wasn’t Yeonjun himself but if Minju was inside Junhee’s head and witnessed everything Junhee did while she was in her body, doesn’t that mean Koo Yeonjun was also in Siheons head as well? And then had to see his body be with a woman? Lol…just a huge plothole imo.
And I’m also curious if Koo Yeonjun stayed with Rowoons character in the end or not, they seemed pretty cute!!
Ingyu and Minju were also adorable, I was rooting for them since the beginning.
If I’m being completely honest, Junhee and Siheon didn’t have all that much chemistry. The actors are great and they acted well but, there was just no chemistry between them. I felt absolutely nothing whenever they shared romantic scenes together. It was just so boring and plain…their relationship seemed forced, and they had so much to work with in their story- I was hoping at some point I would see the chemistry but I just couldn’t.
Somewhere in the middle of the show, maybe around the time Junhee switched back to 2023 after being in Minjus body for the first time, things got even more boring and the show felt like it was being dragged on for so long. Everything was slow, and the plotwists were being revealed in the most anti climactic slow paced way.
I honestly think this would’ve been better as a movie rather than a show. So many episodes felt like filler episodes, or just something that didn’t need a whole episode dedicated for it.
The misdirect of the killer who somehow figured out how to time travel as well, and then not bringing him up ever again after they got rid of the time travel walkman? There’s just so many things they left unspoken.
Nevertheless, the last 3 episodes I forced myself to watch so I could finish this show, it actually wasn’t all that bad and it kept me engaged. I found Minjus character the most interesting, and I’m sad we got robbed of her character. I think they should’ve focused on her development in the series rather than making her breakdown in one episode and then suddenly being okay and content with her life in the next.
But other than that, the show itself wasn’t all that bad- but it did get super boring at some point. Unless you’re a huge fan of Ahn Hyoseop and Jeon Yeobeen , you would probably enjoy this a lot more. Other than that, in my opinion this isn’t something I would choose to watch to entertain myself since it wasn’t that much action filled as I had hoped. But it wasn’t all too bad either. Just more so focused on the love story between the star crossed lovers who have to switch between time lines to be with each other. So if you’re in a mood for a slow pace romance story, this is for you!

Forbidden Romance love story
I’m going to start off by saying that, I started this show like maybe in 2022 and then dropped it for a year- and then I realised I stopped it at like episode 13 and I was soooo close to finishing it, so I started it up again. Half of stuff that happened in the show I forgot already BUT, I really don’t understand why I dropped it when the show is actually really good?I think once the story went from North to South, it did get a little boring and it seemed like the story kept circling around the same problem- which is the brother wanting to kill Se-ri and the forbidden love between her and the North Korean guy. (Forgot his name sorry 🙈) But after finishing this K-Drama, I really regret dropping it mid ending, I feel like it would’ve been much more impactful and also, despite the fact that I forgot so many things when I started it again- I still cried so much ?!😭 ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT GUY DIED! I’m not going to reveal who (although I also forgot his name so…😭) but I was so upset, literally what was the reason!!! Such a stupid and unnecessary thing honestly, that’s probably the only thing I disliked about the show- other than the fact that some things were a little dragged out.
Anyway I found out the main characters actually got married in real life and have a kid😭 Which makes so much sense because their chemistry was definitely chemistry-ing, such a beautiful couple!
Alright so, what I took from this is that- the show isn’t bad at all, it has a good plot and you know whats happening. I think the reason I got bored with it was because this story does really focus a lot more on the romantic aspect of the show- basically the love between Se-ri and the North Korean, and although of course there IS action BUT it is not as nearly a reoccurring thing like romance is. So much cheesiness, not just between the main characters but side characters as well.
So if you’re in a mood for a cheesy romance story which gives it a little spice because it’s forbidden…this K-Drama is for you!

girl gets her bestfriend and cheating husband back, KARMA IS REALLLL
When I tell you, from start to finish I was soooo deeply invested in this story. I remember first finding out about this story through webtoon, people posting screenshots of a woman who has cancer finding her husband cheating on her with her childhood best friend. Its so deeply fried inside my brain that even though I’ve never read the webtoon, I still remember thise screenshots of the story.And then when I heard its getting a live action? DUDE YES!
Like not one episode was boring.
I saw a lot of people dropped the show because they didn’t like the male lead, but honestly ever since I saw him in Mr.Queen I literally thought he was so handsome, and seeing him get a role that’ll get him recognised made me so happy! And I believe he did a very well job and I enjoyed his scenes with Jiwon.
Alright so overall, really good revenge plot- everything was just so satisfying. The thing is, I LOVE, time travel and revenge plots- and these two being mixed together?! Literally best thing ever. I promise you, you won’t regret watching this. Though the show isn’t a ten for me because there are some plotholes, like, they never explain why Jiwons fate fell on her ex boyfriend and not on Sumin? I guess Sumin always had her own fate of ending up in jail I guess?
Also I guess you could say the way things ended in the end were a lil TOO perfect, like how did everything just fall into place perfectly 🤣 Everyone who was single had a partner and got married and has kids like🤣🤣 But I digress, I was really happy for Jiwon because holy shit, she really deserved the happy ending after going through all of that.
ALSO, was the ex manager (forgot his name but the guy who was an asshole at work), did he turn gay in the end? Because wdym he found his true self after love failed him….🤭 I won’t jump to conclusions here but since this K-Drama is filled with villains, the least one I expected to have a redemption arc was the manager and it was so wholesome! I guess the ex classmates too but if I’m being honest their presence in the story wasn’t that special, when they showed up again I literally forgot who they were until I saw the girl in the middle and I memorised her cus she’s pretty lol…
Okay that’s all, I think the story was so cool- I wasn’t bored and I was so excited to wait for the new ep every time. If you’re like me and love revenge plots (as well as time travel), this is your show!!!

Good survival show
I’ve been putting off watching this show since it came out, despite the fact that my friends kept telling me to watch it because when I recommended it to my mom, she told me the show is stupid so I took her word for it and just never looked back.But today my friend told me to watch sweet home for them because season 2 is coming soon, and i was like eh why not, I have nothing to watch right now anyway, and WOW!!
This show does NOT disappoint. There were certain things that confused me at first like, why did the virus effect you when it wanted, or how come some viruses are more powerful than others and why are they using headphones and what not. (Google helped me out with these questions lmao) The reason I put it as 9.5 is because the show itself is AMAZING, world building and character development as well as relationships and the action scenes, everything is so well done, but the aspect that I found the most goofy were the monsters.
I don’t know I just can’t take the monsters seriously at all. The CGI isn’t bad but it’s just that they look like they came out straight out of a kids show, so it took the seriousness out of the show for me a bit. But otherwise I enjoyed the show a lot, despite the monsters being funny looking, it’s worth sticking around. I’ll start season 2 now!!
