As a fan of Korean horror films a friend recommended that I watch Old Boy. I gave it a go and it did not disappoint. The story was interesting and the actors we're really good. The film wasdark in the beginning, but it reflected the story line . No complains overall and I enjoyed the violence (yup). I felt like I needed therapy and a hug after processing the ending. For that reason it's a difficult rewatch, but I'm sure I will add this to my annual rotation. Would not recommend watching with young ones or the squeamish.

I came across this on Netflix and had no expectations. I was curious and the episodes were short so I gave it a try. The first episode made me laugh a lot and loudly. It wasn't slapstick comedy or intentional funny but more situational. The main character and his family were like regular people.

The dad and his restaurant and side jobs were enough for his own show. The younger brother was so clueless but still funny. I managed to watch all episodes in one sitting taking a little break from laughing.

There is some poop humor, but it's not the subject of all episodes. I was pleasantly pleased with this show.

This was my 3rd Korean drama and I was glad it was so good.
Loved:
* Actors - good acting, cute
* OST - the songs have been on my playlist for many months now
* Romantic tension was just right

Didn't love:
* Several plot lines. They had a purpose but sometimes it dragged and when I was vested in one story it switched to another story
* Poor 2nd lead. I don't know why I still feel some type of way about this.
* The mom - she was abusive, it wasn't funny and didn't add to the story.

I got my daughter's friend hooked on the show and got an earful from the parents because she was watching so much tv. We thought it was worth it.

I watched this because of Park Seo Joon. The plot was easy to follow and made me curious enough to keep watching. There beautiful men definitely kept me interested too. It got a bit draggy in the middle, but the last episodes provided a neat ending. Although it tied up most of the story lines I didn't love how it ended. The actress Go Ara - her character started out likeable but by the end I was was wanting her to have some sort of accident. To make her stop. All that dang crying was too much for me. I loved the music, definitely many songs worthy of downloading.
