I'm in love with the main couple and I will sure as hell be watching their other projects. I'm a big fan of them both. It was super cute, engaging and well-paced but the plot was at some point too frustating and took the easy path. It was always the same sh*t happening... Ending was really simple in the end so not very satisfying imo. That being said, Lovely Runner has one of the best last episode but not because of how things wrapped up plot-wise (with the Villain) but because we finally had our MLs happy without worrying about anything or breaking up or whatever !!! Liked it overall

I LOVED this one. What I really liked doesn't rely on the investigations nor the plot twists (there were none) but on the characters' development and relationship. I fell in love with the main team, the other team of policemen. It was like a big family. I also enjoy the sub plot about how they have to face the criminals' ugly faces, how being a policeman or in this case the first profiler of Korea could be so difficult to handle mentally. The focus wasn't really on the case which was always resolved in 2/3 episodes and mostly easily but we paid attention to the after. What can we learn about those criminals ? Some conversations were awful to hear and the actors portrayed those reactions so brillantly that I was stunned before my screen. Highly recommended

Ah....... poor execution. I like nothing about this really. The first 2/3 episodes were a pure torture. I even put this on hold. I tried again because the rating wasn't bad so I thought maybe I wasn't in the mood when I tried it first. But then... it was better than the first episodes but still mehhh. I didn't believe in their couple nor feelings towards each others. The plot was weak as hell. For a simple plot, I wasn't expecting a lot but I still was disappointed. I know way better BL drama with less episodes + less length-episodes and they are more well-developped than this one. A waste of potential imo

I'm mesmerized by this drama. This was a masterpiece and I cannot think that I will be, one day, able to find a better thriller than this one. The pace, the plot, the flashback, the characsters, the PLOT TWISTS, the feelings...Everything was on point until... the last 5 episodes. It's only my personal opinion though I hated the biggest revelation. I do understand why it is that way and I should have seen this coming...The message behind it hits the right spot and all the understanding after that was awesome. I can't forget about it and I will rewatch it one day for sure to fully appreciate the drama. Maybe knowing what will happen will allow me to forget the feeling of "betrayal" I felt by the end of the drama. Loved all the actors !

Si tu ne l'as pas encore vu, tu peux te lancer!

Je ne pense pas qu'il soit encore nécessaire de plébisciter Love and Redemption aujourd'hui. Néanmoins, il s'agit là du plus gros coup de cœur que j'ai pu avoir pour un drama à ce jour. Je me devais d'au moins rappeler à quel point il vaut le coup de lui donner sa chance.

Il va être difficile d'aborder l'ensemble des points sachant qu'il s'agit d'une histoire très dense et complexe. Si tu n'es pas initiée aux Wuxia/ Xianxia ou Historique avec de la politique, je déconseille de commencer par Love & Redemption. Je pense que pour pouvoir l'apprécier de son mieux, il faut s'être familiarisé aux codes des dramas historiques + fantasy chinois. La quantité de personnages, de lieux, les titres honorifiques etc.. est vraiment conséquente. C'est pourquoi je dirai que c'est son point faible, il n'est pas facile de rentrer dans l'histoire car au début tout est un peu confus.

MAIS! Par la suite, je garantis que le reste en vaut la peine.

Si Feng est mon personnage préféré tout drama confondu. Son histoire d'amour, l'ensemble des actions qu'il mène, son passé, tout est extrêmement bien écrit. Le personnage féminin est aussi très intéressant et j'ai trouvé qu'elle se distinguait des autres personnages qu'on peut voir dans les dramas chinois qui sont parfois un peu nunuche, niais. Elle a su se détacher de ces stéréotypes tout en gardant les codes du genre. Les personnages secondaires, les méchants sont tous excellents de par le jeu d'acteur ou du scénario.

Il y a de nombreux rebondissements tout au long de la série, des moments plein d'émotions, du suspense... C'est une série complète qui n'a pas encore trouver son égal. Je ne peux que vivement conseiller de tenter au moins une fois en gardant à l'espirt que le début est un peu compliqué à prendre en main mais une fois familiarisé, ce n'est que du plaisir :)

I really like the concept. It wasn't boring at all and very entertaining. The main couple was great. To sum it up, I was really invested into the plot and the development of their relationship. Though, there were some incoherencies with the present/past plotline. Also, the chemistry lacked a bit imo. I loved Fluke character and he portrayed his role really well, I believed his feelings. For Krist... not the same story. His behaviour got on my nerves several times, I felt like he hasn't fallen in love with his pair... But, this was still enjoyable and one of the best BL released in 2023 which was very poor of Good BLs, sadly

Heavily boring sometimes. Could be wrap up in 24 ep which would be way better. I wad frustrated all the way by the ML. By the end, the breakup was unnecessary in my opinion and was here just for the drama. I liked the message behind though. Great romance but sometimes the chesmistry was a bit off or awkward... No hug or kisses (they often feel a bit off and we see they lack of chemistry). The ML was super great delivering the "falling in love" by the eyes though. No plot or anything else. I knew this will not be my favorite but I still prefer the movie version However, I will check the other projects of Lai Kuan Lin since he gave me such a big impression.

I really really love the main couple! I also highly appreciate something more adult (with a dentist) and with no no sense break ups or plotline. Everything is easy, logical and sweet. The cuteness of it is like sugar... The chemistry is here even if there is no spicy scenes we can see their love for each other by their look, touch etc... They help each other as much as they can but they still have their own issues they try to address. I'm in love and I'll surely check their future projects. Furthemore, I'm soooo disppointed we don't have the final anwser about the second couple (Alex and the waiter/barman), we understand but I would like a conclusive scene with them! Well I will surely rewatch it!
