I'm sorry you guys, I truly do not get the hype. I find this show so tedious, convoluted, and just plain old creepy. Hyun Bin is great, I love him and all, but wow is his character unlikable in every way. THERE IS NOTHING TO LIKE ABOUT THIS MAN. He's just constantly hovering around the female lead and pestering her in a really creepy way like this man will not leave her alone. And the whole body switching plot really adds nothing and none of the intended humor lands for me. And then it just got even more insane as it went on like by the end I literally had no clue what was happening I was so lost. Also I'm sorry I do not really like Ha Jiwon's acting and her character did feel a bit 'not like others girls' esp when she was SO like other kdrama female leads from this time. The wide eyed, constantly confused girlie who gets stalked by a rich creep. Idk the romance was just not hitting for me I just wasn't convinced. However, Yoo Inna and Kim Sungoh's characters were so fun I did really enjoy them. And then ofc, the loser king himself, Oska. Ohhh i loved that pathetic loser so much. Like Joowon, he was an awful person, but he was just so entertaining I loved him. Although, the best part of this show was Lee Jongsuk playing a deadpan gay composer who was clearly in love with the most pathetic man on the planet himself, Oska. Huge shoutout to Lee Jongsuk I always forget he was in this but he ate it up I love him. Overall, I do not like this show I swear I lost braincells watching it. But those who do like it, I'm glad you got something out of it.

I really do not get the hype

Look I know I gave it 5 stars but that was just because I ADORE the main couple I think they're genuinely so cute and Park Boyoung and Park Hyungsik knock it out of the park with their characters and acting. Park Hyungsik really proves himself as one of the best idol actors and he brings so much life to a character who could easily be just this obnoxious, male lead prick. And ofc Park Boyoung is just so much fun to watch on screen and kills it. I love Bongsoon and Minhyuk as characters and I do think they work so together as a duo, and later as a couple, but idk. That's the only thing I like about the show but since I do love that aspect so much I had to give it credit. That being said, this is not a good show. The tone bounces all over the place and it has no idea what it wants to be. The concept is superfun and almost comic book like and sometimes it feels like thats the vibe it wants to go for, but then it introduces a weirdly really creepy thriller aspect? And then the moment later some really gross joke will happen that just makes you so uncomfortable like huhhh??? Also the second male lead was such a pain I hated that guy how was Bongsoon ever attracted to him I do not understand. Idk overall it just felt very uneven and I just really did not care for the plot. And yeah... theres a lot of just... weird humor in it. Idk I'm sure a lot of people found it funny but it's really just not for me I found it really out of place and bemusingly unfunny. It's kind of sad, like I love this couple and their characters so much they deserved such a better show.

I'm so in love with this show it's not even funny. Yoonseo and Jungrok are so disgustingly in love and I hate them theyre so stupid <3333 Yoo Inna shines as this ditzy, terrible actress who somehow falls for a man who literally spouts out legal jargon when he's drunk HES SO PATHETIC I LOVE HIM DEARLY. And the whole law firm is just <333 This concept is just so ridiculously silly but I loved watching Yoonseo becoming more interested in her job and wanting to help out the clients she was just so sweet <33 Definitely what this law firm needed when your star lawyer is incapable of emoting. Also Lawyer Dan and Lawyer Choi are the loves of my life I love my silly, hopeless romantic Lawyer Dan and absolutely pathetic mama's boy Lawyer Choi and the ridiculously campy music that plays whenever theyre together THEYRE INSANE. And as we all know Oh Jungse is the actor of all time, I'm absolutely obsessed with him as this idiotic, fan boy CEO what a guy. This show is just SO FUN <33 like yeah the plot with Yoonseo's ex fell a bit flat and it does take the show a few eps to really get into the groove but once it does its so enjoyable. Jungrok becomes such a more likable character and the way he asks out Yoonseo is my favorite kdrama confession of all time just behind her drunken confession like !!!! HER DRUNKEN CONFESSION IS EVERYTHING I LOVE HER SO MUCH. And him just being like ?????? I'm sorry but if a man that pathetic handed me a note that just said 'lets date' after I drunkenly confessed to him it's over I'm marrying that man. Yeah the whole 'breaking up for her sake' trope is SOO OVERDONE and im glad he was depressed because of it he deserved it but as always it worked out in the end. Ugh Yoonseo and Jungrok are really just one of the cutest kdrama couples ever THEY DID THIS FOR THE GOBLIN FANS <333

This show it's so bad and not even like in a funny-bad way it's just terrible. Do not waste your time. Lee Minho is not at all charming in this I hate his character and they didn't even try to write an interesting character with Eunsang. And yeah Kim Woobin is attractive ig but his character also sucks like can these creeps please leave Eunsang alone she's so boring what about her is so interesting? That being said, Krystal kinda ate this up like I'm hit or miss on her but she needs to be doing more roles like this. Her character was so FUN and she delivers my favorite line in any TV show with 'Gosh, I hate him so much but he's so hot.' I love her. Kim Mikyung ate that up though like her dynamic with the other mom was so fun I love them can I have a show just about them? But yeah the women in this show are treated so poorly and the show just never does anything about it???? Instead they shove two boring bad boys at us like we're supposed to thank them for it?????? Park Hyungsik and Kim Jiwon i'm so sorry you two had to be apart of this show. But yeah Park Hyungsik's character is fun even if he's not doing anything and QUEEN KIM JIWON ATE AS USUAL. Her character is so fun I love a good mean girl and this time it's completely warranted like if my bf left me for Eunsang I'd riot too. It's like whoever wrote this just took the script of Boys over Flowers and changed a few things and thought we wouldnt notice like no this is WORSE than boys over flowers this is just such a bad show. But ig I have to give it credit for that Krystal line

Yes, the characters jump 20 ft in the air. Yes, the tone can kind of be ridiculous sometimes and seem over the top. Yes, this is also one of the best shows I've ever watched in my life. THE STORY TELLING IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. The foreshadowing even from episode one is so clever and Mei Changsu is just SUCH A PROTAGONIST. Like I love crafty, scheming characters and he is no exception. His will to do anything in his power to receive justice and put Jingyan on the throne no matter what happens to him... Like his line about doing the things Jingyan won't be able to do like he really said I'll be the bad guy so you don't have to <3 like those two are INSANE. Mei Changsu is just a brilliantly written character. He's extremely sick and always one step away from death, but he's man on a very dedicated mission. And atp he really does have nothing to lose so ofc he's going to do the actual most and have all the audacity ever. Ugh i love him. That being said, I also ADORE Prince Jing as the justice focused, honorable soldier type who doesn't even want the throne until master manipulator Mei Changsu comes along. Jingyan and Changsu complement each other so well and just have one of the best dynamics of all time like YEAH THEY !!! Ofc the plots are so well thought-out and leave you on the edge of your seat and YEAH Jingrui's birthday party arc is my favorite arc of television EVER. NO ONE could've prepared me for the sheer insanity that I witnessed like just. HUHHHHH. How was any of that real... WHAT AN INSANE COUPLE OF EPS. And yeah that being said never invite Mei Changsu to your bday party. But yeah the plot is perfect and so brilliantly written and every single one of the twenty million characters are brilliantly. Yeah, it can be hard to keep track of all of them but they're all perfect. Commander Meng is loyal to a fault and such a fun character like what a guy I adore him. Fei Liu is just <333 Another loyal to a fault character he was just everything I love his dynamic with MCS. Prince Yu is so hilariously pathetic he's so funny. AND THEN THERES THE WOMEN !!!! Nihuang is perfect, Xia Dong is perfect, Consort Jing may be the best character in the show, AND THEN THERES BANRUO. No one has ever gaslit gatekept and girlbossed like her im absolutely OBSESSED WITH HER. Like Prince Yu is so STUPID he would be NOWHERE without Banruo. This show is just genuinely incredible and completely keeps your attention for all 50+ eps ugh i just truly am obsessed with this show its just so well written <33

What do I even say? What can even be said about the greatest piece of media I've ever watched? Obviously it has its flaws but wow... Park Haeyoung I love you so much can you please write every show from now on? I just. Wow. Just one of those shows that makes you want to burst into tears just thinking about it. It's so heavy and real honestly one of the best glimpses of just humanity. Lots of mainstream Kdramas are made to be glitzy and glamorous and show you the beauty of the country and the hustle and bustle of the city and then you have My Mister. A show that's not afraid to be show you the gritty reality of humanity and life. It's literally about two extremely depressed people being platonic soulmates and idk it's the best thing I've ever watched. It's sluggish, it's purposefully slow, it's show mostly at night and in the winter so you can just FEEL the seasonal depression and how awful and depressing it is. And it's just so well directed like its INSANE. The way that most of the show takes place at the night so the shots are dark and depressing and the only scenes that are light and feel warm and slightly hearty are when the characters are together in the neighborhood bar. The community coming together is the only time we as an audience or the characters feel any sort of relief or warmth. It's actually insanely brilliant and that's not even considering the PERFECT characters, incredible acting, and lines that make me want to sob for the rest of my life. Jian and Donghoon are in two completely different places but they fit each other well like they really do need each other. Like who knew a depressed 21yo woman with a huge debt and amazing street skills could become besties with the most pathetic 40yo you've ever met. IU gives the performance of a lifetime and everyone else is just great ofc. But that's just what happens when you cast the woman of all time Oh Nara in your show. Also this was Jang Kiyong's best role I said what I said!! And the OST is brilliantly haunting and sets the mood perfectly.

Hm. So I love the first half of this show! I'm a sucker for secret identities and I was fully rooting for Dalpo to expose the truth and all that. But idk, after the arc with Dalpo's brother wrapped up the plot got a bit weak in my opinion. They opted for a twist villain in the second male leads mom? Which, I should've seen coming for the beginning cause you don't just cast Kim Haesook in your drama and underutilize her. Which, OHHH KIM HAESOOK <333 ACTRESS OF ALL TIME <333 Unfortunately I didn't care for her character here but I just think worth mentioning that literally no one has ever done it like Kim Haesook the queen herself <33 Anyway, the first half of this show is so fun ! I love the dynamic between Inha and Dalpo (even if I dont care for them as a ship) and I love getting to watch them fight to become reporters and for Dalpo to get his voice heard. I loved the tense moments when his situation would get brought up and he would defend himself and ofc no one knew who he really was AUGH i just love secret identities <33 And acting wise, I think this is my favorite thing I've ever seen both Lee Jongsuk and Park Shinhye in so color me impressed. Although I was annoyed that they really didn't do anything with Inha??? Like the story is mostly about Dalpo and his family's story and cover up, yet it's named based off of Inha's condition??? Idk that was weird I wanted to see Inha do more and there be more of a focus on her, esp in the second half. Also I love Yoorae <3 She's just the cutest ever <33

I do really think the show peaked with the brother arc and never really knew where to go after they resolved it. Which the brother arc was INSANE. That was honestly the thing I cared about the most I loved the dark turn it took and they didn't turn the brother into this monster like the guy was so nice he was just full of anger and those guys did have it coming so.

But yeah, overall, the vibes in the first half are so much fun like it's just so enjoyable and easy to watch. I didn't really care for the romance though, but it wasn't awful or toxic or anything.

Fellow Im Jinjoo Kinnies Where We At????

UGH THIS SHOW !!!! MY ABSOLUTE BELOVED !!! I feel like a lot of kdrama comedies who try that 'quirky' 'goofy' style come across as really stale or 'try hard' but this show just exudes natural charm. Literally EVERYONE in this show is INSANE and off the walls weird and I love them for it. It never comes across as forced, like all these characters are just so REAL. The writing just feels so fresh and natural and ugh I love slice of life done right. There's just a breezy feel to watching this drama, the dialogue is sharp, the characters are full of depth, the chemistry between the characters are so fun, and the show is full of bright colors and its very easy to watch. Yeah, the first ep is a bit depressing as it goes into the backstories and motivations of our three leads, but it's incredible how invested I became in these characters and their friendship. I love this silly found family so much they're so <33 Hanjoo, Jinjoo, and Eunjung play off of each other and balance each other so well its not even funny. I especially how Hanjoo and Eunjung and how they work as foils to each other. Hanjoo being the one who, on the outside, seems the weakest and most vulnerable but is full of perseverance like idk how she does it, and Eunjung being the first to want to kill anyone who hurts Hanjoo but who's also bottling all of her issues up and ignoring them like I love the contrast in their characters and how well they work together as besties.

And then there's Im Jinjoo.

Where do you even start with Jinjoo? She's the PERFECT protagonist for this show. I would say personally I think Eunjung and Hanjoo are the most likable of the three leads, and I think that's why Jinjoo works as the protagonist. She's messy, self centered, and just all over the place. She's incredibly stubborn but also fiercely loyal and I do love her for it. She's a hopeless romantic who lives for the drama and can't stand being rejected by someone she dumped a gazillion times but kept coming back to even though she hated him. She's a complete mess of contradictions and she's always trying to rationalize her insane behavior and it's insane how relatable she is. I love getting inside her head and her thoughts about the world cause I just find her so incredibly relatable ugh I love her <33 She's also so annoying I love how annoyed she gets by Beomsoo and decides to clown him through the song he hates and literally mocks he past love through out of key singing in the middle of a public building. I LOVE HER. But I'm with her Beomsoo was an arrogant prick and he and Jinjoo were literally made for each other. They're like the same person and they're so the kind of people who just need to be arguing constantly for no reason and they can so provide that for each other. I love how awkward their loveline was and just how incredibly stupid and cynical they are i love them <3

As other characters go, I loved the rest of the supporting cast, like Somin my BELOVED ! I love her shes so fun as the ditzy actress type and her and Eunjung had such a fun dynamic. Minjoon was a fun love interest for Somin and obviously I can't go with out shouting out Son Seokkoo <3 His weirdo director character was just so ??? Like that guy was actually mentally insane I'm obsessed with him and I love him and Eunjung's dynamic so much they weirdly worked together. I am so glad they kept them platonic though <3

And UGHHH ohh the plots in this show <33 They're just so heartfelt and it's so easy to root for the characters. Like you want to see Eunjung finally tell everyone about what she's going though and stop bottling up all her pain and ohh her backstory broke my heart
There is really nothing like this show like the slice of life vibes have never been this FUN <33 I really just love love this show and all its characters ugh <33

Ok let's get the negatives out of the way first, this show is not for everybody. The acting is pretty bad- you can so tell most of them are idol actors- and yes, it can be cheesy. I'd say the bad acting is the biggest flaw of the show and also, warning, it does have JYP in it and he's basically playing himself but like less creepy. But idk guys the vibes in this show are SO FUN I ADORE IT. I love it when a lovable band of the most annoying losers you've ever met have to group together in order to realize their dreams its so cheesy but idk it gets me. I love their little group so much and them all living together and taking care of each other like the most loser family ever i love them I LOVE THESE SILLY KPOP IDOLS FOUND FAMILY. And honestly its the teacher who really pulls it together like youve got this underdog, complete loser of a teacher but he believes in these sillies despite what he has to work with is the most emotionless complete prick (go hyemi my beloved <33), this country bumpkin, taecyeon doing his best attempt at a bad boy character, and IU playing an absolute sweetheart with perfect pitch. I love this group of misfits so much and it's so easy to root for them despite Hyemi putting up her uncaring front all the time. And speaking of Hyemi, I adore her. Like yeah, okay, Suzy is not a great actress but I think it's clear Hyemi's really guarded and prickly not because she's an uncaring sociopath but because she has to be to survive cause her dad is the worst and she has a family to take care of. Idk she's kind of a girlboss and I love how as the show goes on its so obvious how much she cares and how she looks out for the rest of the group despite everything. She's such a fun protagonist and such an interesting one for a 2010s character like shes not this wide-eyed, flighty, candy girl, she's snarky and rude and does not hold back. I ADORE HER. That being said I also love Baekhee, I cant help it, I love a good loserwoman. She's your typical 'was treated poorly by the rude, egotistical popular girl and now wants to take her place' character and yes she's really desperate but idk i do feel bad for her. And I am kind of surprised she didn't end up with Taecyeons character- which I actually really loved their bond. Taecyeon still looking out for her despite being in love with Hyemi was actually so sweet he's such a good guy and I think that's what works about his character. He's not this bad boy stereotype, he has an actual soul and heart and just like Hyemi is just a bit guarded on the outside. And that's the shows biggest positive- it's so incredibly heartfelt. It's goofy and can be cliche, but wow is it just so full of heart. Ugh I just really adore this show, the characters just all fit so well together and I love how they ultimately came together to form one big group like i just love them so dearly. Like Kim Soohyun's country bumpkin character is just so earnest you cant help but root for the guy- although he does get a bit emo during the second half but I do like how he and Hyemi work through that and his hearing issues. Which, yeah, the drama in this show is insane but I adore it it's so ridiculous <33 And then ofc theres Pilsuk and Jason and Jason is just so well named like that guy is just such a Jason. Those two were actually so cute together, and honestly... For a 2010 Kdrama I was actually surprised with how they dealt with Pilsuk's character and her weight loss. I do think that she ultimately did it for herself, which I appreciated, and I also how appreciated how Jason didn't want her to lose weight because he thought she was ugly, but because he hated seeing her getting bullied and looked down upon in the school because of it. It's def a touchy subject - esp with Korean beauty standards- and for the most part I do think they handled it pretty well. I also found it interesting that they didn't try to glamourize the weight loss, like they showed the reality of it and the side effects of weight loss. I just found it interesting how they handled the plot considering the beauty standards there. But other than that Pilsuk was SUCH a sweetie i loved her so much and I loved her dynamic with the rest of the group they just had a realy fun group dynamic idk guys I just really love this show. The music is peak 2010s kpop and I love it too. It's just such a sweet show and I acknowlegde that it's def not for everyone- I just love shows about people going to arts schools idk what it is. But this really is just a heartfelt show that makes you root for this stupid losers and their little group <3

Korean violence censorship at its funniest

This was actually such a fun time (until the end what was that????) Like I love the White Collar/Leverage-esque concept as always <33 And you really can't go wrong with Ma Dongseok (who's incredible in this by the way like I adored his character.) The plot for the most part is fun, it's this traumatized cop rounding up violent criminals to help him solve crimes and the main protagonist was actually such an interesting character like the scenes where it would go to the flashbacks with his daughter to his empty, lifeless state in the present was CHILLING. And ofc my crime found family's dynamic is also so fun, I love the minor details of their characterizations. Like how Ma Dongseok's character was a gang leader so whenever he tries to solve the crime he just pulls together a group of cronies and impulsively barges right into the problem (and is usually right like give this man more credit!!!) And then there's the hitman who will analyze the scene and think about how he would've pulled it off and is very analytical and smooth about it- everything about him, his appearance, his mannerisms, his speech- it's all very to the point and smooth. And then there's Park Haejin's character who just kinda zones out and is super OP? Idk but good for him. Idk i really enjoyed all of those characters and I actually enjoyed the writing on them and all the minor details, which is something that doesn't happen often for me when I watch an OCN drama. And the individual cases and how they got solved was also really fun. But idk... something about the plot as a whole and the main character's own vengeance based path didn't sit well with me. Also I'm sorry but why did they make the one female character so annoying??? Like she was just unnecessary first of all and it just felt like they were just shoving her in there just to have a female character? Why wasn't one of the 'bad guys' a woman or something instead of giving us this annoying character who really did nothing.

Also my favorite thing about this show is how unintentionally morbidly hilarious it is. Like hitman going into detail about how he dismembered the woman he liked's husband right to her face was the funniest thing I watched last year. WHO JUST SAYS THAT???????????? Like I agree she deserved to know that he was the one who killed her husband but my man was going into unnecessary detail FOR NO REASON??? Idk it was funny to me for no reason. And then there was the part where they blurred out the bloody organs so all you can see is a bag of blurred blood. Which that also shouldn't have been funny but for some reason it took me out.

Yes but did you know she has an Olympic record for dart throwing????

This show is so funny like Nana's character takes every opportunity to flex her dart throwing skills while Jang Kiyong just stares at her like '?maam this is a wendys.' But yeah actually this show is not funny at all its extremely depressing and idk I kinda loved how it ended like that guy so deserved it !!! And yeah, is this a good show? No, not really. But wow I had the time of my life watching it I binged it in one day. Sure, the characters aren't really fleshed out and the plot is just.... fine, but idk the action can be fun and it did keep my attention. ALSO SEULGI??? Oh Seulgi.... She was so sweet I adored her dynamic with the male lead they were so sweet <33 She was the best thing about this show. Nana and Jang Kiyong also had a sweet dynamic and I do like a good cat and mouse game. Would def rewatch this its just a fun time but don't expect too much meat out of it it's an OCN drama from 2019. Wait but Nana did eat in this I'm so interested in checking out more of her shows now like how do you go from Orange Caramel to THIS? What range, I love her.

No other show will ever make me feel the way Healer does. I could watch it twenty million times and still feel the same warm, heartfelt energy the moment the soaring, and absolutely ridiculous, OST starts blaring. No matter how many times i've watched this show it never gets old. I really don't know what it is about this show like its just these loser reporters and socially awkward thief taking down the rich and corrupt through this second rate tabloid newspaper but idk that's its charm maybe. Watching Junghoo, Youngshin, and Moonho come together to continue the legacy that their family started with this underdog news company is actually so compelling like all the broadcasts they put together to expose the corrupt mayor and Moonshik are so so much fun to watch. AND THE CHARACTERS ARE PERFECT LIKE??? While I don't think Ji Changwook is usually a great actor, for some reason he absolutely shines as my favorite television character of all time. Seo Junghoo is such a CHARACTER. He thinks he's outside of the human population as he constantly isolates himself, so he has absolutely ZERO concept of social skills or anything about actual human emotions and feelings. He's cried over leopard documentaries, he's fearless, he's a parkour legend and badass theif/courier, he can't even put together one coherent sentence in public, he doesn't know who he is and finds himself in a love triangle with himself, he has no knowledge of pop culture and doesn't even know who Superman is, he works with a woman he's never met and loves his mom even after she abandoned him, he has anger issues but would never result to murder he's just!!! There's so much to be said about his isolation like there's a reason he's so affectionate with Youngshin this man is touch starved he hasn't like ever had human contact and he never thought he needed it but then he meets Youngshin and the Someday crew and !!! Absolutely obsessed with this man and his growth and that's not even considering his relationship with Youngshin. Youngshin is such a REAL character. She's messy and extremely flawed, she's always running late, she's selfish, she's a dreamer with her head in the clouds, and she has such interesting ideas when it comes to trust. She's honestly such an admirable character, like despite all the trauma she's been through she doesn't shrink away from life and humanity like Junghoo, and she doesn't become closed off and stew in her trauma like Moonho, but she's resilient and puts one foot in front of the other and keeps dreaming big. I'm actually so in love with this girl she's so INSANE and her and her dad actually have one of the sweetest dynamics of all time. That's the thing about the show, like yeah the plot is exciting and the news broadcasts are such a blast, but every single one of the dynamics is absolutely PERFECT and everyone gives amazing performances like Park Minyoung has NEVER been this likeable. But yeah the dynamics are just.... Youngshin and Junghoo have incredible chemistry, they were made for each other like they balance each other so well, she's a dreamer and he's probably never even had a dream in his life apart from his stupid island. Best kdrama couple of all time i said what i said !!! Junghoo and Jo Minja also have one of the most fun partner in crime dynamics I've seen, and that being said JO MINJA THE CHARACTER OF ALL TIME ! Kim Mikyung is an insane actress and im absolutely obsessed with her performance as this foul mouthed middle aged hacker woman who just loves knitting and making kimbap like what a legend. And ugh I haven't even gotten to Teacher, Moonho, or Myunghee yet. Moonho is such a wild card, like yeah sometimes he can be a lot but hes most definitely an 'end justifies the means' as long as the end is doing the right thing kinda guy like really just has tunnel vision and can't move on to save his life but can you blame him i'd be the same way if I was in love with Myunghee like she's just perfect and didn't deserve any of that. SPEAKING OF MYUNGHEE! Her story may be one of the most underrated in this show like the moment where she finally decides to leave Moonshik is so powerful like he's constantly treating her like this frail, fragile object that will break at any minute and it's so powerful to watch her fight against that and follow her suspicions of her husband. Genuinely I do not know how she managed to stay in that house through all of that that is one fearless woman and her thirst for justice and the truth is so sexy really she's actually a perfect character there's no other way to put it thank you writes for the character of all time Choi Myunghee and thank you Do Jiwon for a performance of all time. Also shoutout to Teacher, his dynamic with Junghoo is so fun like no wonder Junghoo's like that when this creepy perv was his mentor and then just abandoned him but its okay because he makes up for it. Honestly yeah this show may be ridiculously and hard to believe at sometimes but thats whats so fun about it its just a good time. Also yes there are some kinda creepy romantic stuff in here but im willing to look past it if we consider that Junghoo has no idea how to interact with humans and he compares everything to animal kingdom and has zero social skills and Youngshin constantly has her heads in the clouds and is literally crushing on an anonymous thief and MOONHO like ok girl the bar is on the GROUND. Also the OST is so bad it's the greatest thing ever everyone needs to listen to this OST genuinely its insane like Eternal Love is truly such a baffling song it makes me burst out laughing every single time.

Ok downsides, the plot with the 1992 stuff can be so confusing sometimes and sometimes the plot is just ???? the end is kind of draggy and the ending is just ????????? Like idk the climax just wasn't climaxing for me but thats ok because the heart of this show is truly in all of the perfect dynamics and relationships like ohhh <33

This show literally made me feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s ridiculously campy, frustrating, and the female lead is a total alcoholic people pleaser and complete mess- I love her. When i say this show is insane ITS INSANE. Idk how I feel about this show cause there was a lot I genuinely liked and then a lot that made me lose my mind.

The negatives first- Most of the characters are either extremely irritating or just really boring. The second male lead was just boring and I’m tired of pointless love triangles that make no sense. I actually enjoyed the main couple I didn’t need this boring other guy pining over this psycho woman- like dude I get it I love her too- but it added nothing to the story and I didn’t like them as a ship. The second female lead was also really weird??? She had major baby fever and I also get that but there are many ways to get a baby idk why she was so adamant on having one with the male lead. She was just a boring character who also didn’t add anything. And then there was the female leads ex who was just an annoying prick most of the time.

And now to the negatives- THIS SHOW IS SO FUN AND WACKY LIKE ?? it’s actually SOO campy and zany so if that’s not your type of humor you’re probably not going to like this. There’s lots of physical humor and Han Groo commits so fully to all of it like her character is this constantly emotionally involved, really sweet character who’s constantly drinking and trying to get involved with everyone’s business (cause she cares) and she plays into it SO WELL. Jangmi is so INSANE and I love how Han Groo plays her like I adore this psycho so much. And her and the male lead are actually so cute! I love a good old fake relationship and these two play into that trope in such a fun way. It’s your typical, they bicker all the time but the more they hang out with each other they more they understand and empathize with one another and then they fall in love ofc and they’re actually so cute. I love their bickering and chemistry and idk they really made the show I loved watching them fall in love. The male lead is your regular arrogant male lead idiot and I wasn’t crazy about his character but he was a good match for Jangmi and all her chaotic energy as this guy who likes to think he’s got it all together but in actuality he’s just as insane.

But as cute as this show is, my favorite thing about this show is the queen herself Kim Haesook, who plays the male leads mom. She’s knees deep in marital trouble of her own and Jangmi with all her good intentions is always trying to help out while Kim Haesook just stares at her like ok girl ?. But as the show goes on ofc the two start to bond and genuinely their relationship is SO SWEET. I loved seeing the two of them grow closer and Kim Haesooks character start to accept Jangmi. Augh, it was just a lot.

Overall, there’s a lot of weak elements to the show, but the leads slay, the romance is cute, and Kim Haesook steals the show as always <33 I had a really fun time with this show but it is REALLY campy so it’s def not for everyone

SO RIDICULOUSLY HEARTFUL ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY

I LOVE FOUND FAMILY. I REALLY DO. I really don't know what I was expecting with this show, but I was blown away with how much each ep had me grinning like an idiot. There's something so nostalgic and breezy about watching these country teenage athletes really meld into a functional badminton team like ill always eat up a good sports story !! And this is so much more than that. It's slice of life and coming of age at its purest form and UGH what do you even say about this show?? It's just so warm and full of heart and it just really got to me idk. Ok yeah, some of the plots are not very interesting- esp the ones that were like the village politics- and there were some... interesting choices made in the writing but the characters and dynamic absolutely SHINE. You root so hard for these stupid boys and their weird little badminton team and it actually made me so interested in badminton? I loved watching the matches they gave me the usual 'watching sports anxiety' which is always a good thing cause it made me feel like I was actually watching a match.

But yeah, the characters really make this show. It's so chockful with characters full of personality and I adore almost all of them. Tang Junsang continues to prove that he's a force to be reckoned with acting wise and should be cast in every show ever from now on. Seriously, Yoon Haekang on paper seems like such an annoying character. He's a BASEBALL PLAYER first of all and he's an egotistical complainer who likes to keep to himself (at first, of course) but I love once we really get to know him we see that this guy just sucks at showing his emotions and has an incredible heart and its so sweet to see him warming up to his teammates and acclimate to life in the country and going back to badminton. ALSO HES JUST SO AWKWARD I LOVE HIM. And his dynamic with the rest of the team <33 Honestly thats the highlight for me. The teams dynamic with each other and ofc their dynamic with Seyoon and Hansol. Which, ohhhh the girlies in this show <33 I LOVE SEYOON. She's just as awkward as Haekang (they were literally made for each other) and just such an interesting character and her and Hansol were just adorable I loved their friendship. (Ok quick sidenote, Seyoon and Haekang were such an adorable, dorky main couple and they really highlighted just how silly teenage love is I adore them)

And the other characters were just <33 I love Yoondam, Yoochan, Yongtae, I adore all of them and their bond with each other, especially Yongtae and Yoochan their brotherly bond was literally so sweet.

And now we get to singlehandedly my absolute favorite character in the entire show and one of my top kdrama characters of all time, Jeong Insol.

Ohhhhhh, Insol. Literally what do I even say about this man. He's top of his class, his dad is like the principal or smth in the school, he has no friends, he's super annoyed by Haekang and the others, and he so badly wants to join the badminton team and be friends with them. WHAT AN AWKWARD LOSER I ADORE HIM DEARLY. Idk seeing his growth just kinda got me. Like him working so hard to be able to be on the team and him genuinely growing to love it and being apart of the team and really becoming apart of the friend group like ..... AUGH I LOVE HIM. And yeah he and Haekang have my favorite dynamic in the entire show. I love how they go from bickering with each other and being so done with each other to being besties THEY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME. Haekang standing up for him and Insol being the analytical one and doing everything to try to help Haekang strategize for matches.... THEY !!!! THEYYYYYY. Literally I could go on and on and on about this show it means the world to me and makes me feel just so AUGH <333 THE VIBES ARE SO <333

This is what happens when you put the queen herself Oh Nara in your show like !!! SHE !

And ofc, as a Prison Playbook fan all the cameos ended me like the Park Haesoo Anysong one took me out and OFC HANYANG GETTING HIS HAPPY ENDING!! I'm pretty sure every Prison Playbook fan lost their mind watching that like.... LIKE !!!!!!

Anyways this show is extremely heartfelt and such a fun watch to take you back to silly high school sports vibe with an adorable found family <33

OH TWO WEEKS MY ABSOLUTE BELOVED. This show gets me. The action, the fast pacing, the character dynamics, and ofc, LEE JOONGI ACTING HIS HEART OF AS USUAL. This man can not be real I'm obsessed with him. He absolutely shines as this seemingly apathetic former gangster type who is really doing nothing with his life and honestly has zero care for himself like this man is so rough with himself and his body and it really shows just how much he hates himself. But ofc he finds out he has a daughter he never knew he had and for the first time he has actual responsibility in his life. Taesan imagining talking to Soojin when he's at his darkest moments just to find the will to keep going and how she acts as his conscience is really so poignant and it's so easy to root for this complete loser who just wants to save his daughter. And ohhhhh Soojin is so adorable like that girl deserves the world and I love her dynamic with Taesan and just how much she wants her dad its just <33 Also I would die for Jaekyung that complete mess of a woman deserves the world <33 And her dynamic with Taesan is so fun???? Sure, they did kind of make her a bit dumb sometimes but WTV I LOVE HER. Honestly this whole cast was so fun, like yeah the show is 100% ridiculously over the top but idc i ate it up. And when the stakes are this high i think they're allowed to be over the top. However, I did wish that they done more with Inhye's character than to just make her the 'distressed mother type' 24/7, like obviously it was a very real reaction but idk they couldve done more with her poor girl. Her fiance was also another interesting character made to be the more 'black and white' detective type and ohh the drama and angst had me screaming at my screen like ofc I want all these characters just to fill in the blanks, realize each others connections to one another, believe Taesan, and work together but nothings that simple. But despite that, this show was constantly tense and moved so quickly like EVERYTHING kept happening to Taesan that man could not catch a break. Poor guy, but it did make for such a fun watch like the twists and turns in this show are crazy and it always has me wondering what's going to happen next and how in the world Taesan is still alive WHAT A GUY. Idk the plot just kept me invested for every episode and I liked that they left it more open ended but Taesan does deserve the world after all that.
