This drama was so good.Truly, it was heartfelt, genuine and exciting.
I am very glad to say that I thoroughly enjoyed each and every episode. The ending seemed as if it would be bittersweet and yet right at those very last important seconds, something entirely sweet and brilliant happened.
I am not one for enjoying emotional dramas, though I do partake in watching them, but this one was completely enjoyable for me.
A lovely pair, those, two. I really liked the pure innocence of Dan and how well he complimented Yeon Seo.
Overall, I highly highly recommended this drama.
Get to watching, my fellow people.

Surprisingly awesome
At first, i was skeptical. Whether that was because our main character didnt feel like a main character or that he was one of the most unlikable main characters ive seen in a long while. Whether it was because there were too many characters to focus on just one or whether it was because there were simply too many monsters. However, for some reason i kept watching and im glad i did. To those who aren't sure if they'd like it, you will. Its not just about monsters and action but a story. I have to admit i ended up loving the main character Hyun Su and understanding him. With all that said, i hope to see him back for a season 2Was this review helpful to you?
What could be expected of the title "Hi, Bye, Mama" other than saying hello only to say goodbye again.
It was a truly emotive and beautiful drama.
Although their tears streamed a lot, there were moments which felt much more raw and fresh and real. Those moments really sold this drama for me.
The humour, although minimal, was a great touch. The characters, although flawed, were perfectly imperfect. The story, although incredibly bittersweet, was purely brilliant.
So, as I said hello to this drama...
It is now time to say goodbye.
Goodbye, Hi Bye Mama.
Thanks for being an amazing drama.
Now, it's time to say hello to what comes next~

Confusing ASF ending
So I just finished watching cheat on me if you can. It was a 16 episode drama which literally just finished the same as it began. A lot happened but nothing happened. It was very interesting and i loved the actual plot and the acting but the wtf happened with the ending?? Did they run out of time or smth? The questions still burning in my brain- and there are a good few- are as follows: She said she would kill him but did she? What happened with the guys politics? What happened with the college girl? Does she still go to college? Does she still have to move? What happened with secret agent guy? Is there any potential romance between him and Yeo Joo? Is Yeo Joo going to jail? Has she gotten her revenge? If Yeo Joo grows all those plants and all that poison why is her chosen murder weapon a knife? What happened with the detectives- are they getting along now? How did everyone find the new book? Does anyone know what the secret prayer room actually was about? Who the heck is her father besides a congressman?All questions that should have been answered but were not (and may have been but I could have missed them).
So, should you watch this? No. Definitely not
Do I understand what I just sat through? No. Definitely not

Fcking adorable
Shit the main characters had chemistry. They were so good together and their scenes were so real and emotive and frankly adorable. The story was great and i love how Dan Bi got the sense of purpose she never had back home. I think that adventure really changed her for the better so it was great to see. I liked the other characters too and how the king changed and became more fun and happy with Dan Bi around- oh and the kid was really cute. The end was nice though wish they had made more episodes and shown their modern world romanceWas this review helpful to you?
All that and a bag of hats
This drama was so good.Ji Na and Sa Na were sweet. Ji Na particularly was an awesome person and just awesome to everyone so she was probably one of the best characters I've seen. Also, I loved the contrast between Jae-i and Ro-bin and although they had the same upbringing, they're so different. The "villains" were completely on point and hateable. Rok Hui was dearly beloved by all the viewers including me (lolol) but I wish she had more screentime.
Also, I just have to point out that Jae-i and Ro-bin aren't twins lmao.
I would for sure recommend this drama.
SPOILER AHEAD
First off, I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't find out more about Rok Hui and her dad, since there was obviously something there. Especially with the reference to Rocky and Rok Hui's convo with Ji Na about it.
Second, what exactly did Ro Bin do in that club? Lmao. Also how did he get the fake ID? And did they ever find out it was fake?
Third, Its a bit of a shame I never found out who seeked the revenge for Ji Na, but what can ya do?
I hope there will be a Revenge Note 3 but at this point who knows.

This is it chief
Wow, what a great drama. The acting? Amazing. The plot? Amazing. The visuals? ;) Amazing of course.At first, I wasn't sure about it but damn it really got me hooked those last couple of episodes. It was interesting and because of the two part thing that went the whole way through, there were always questions everytime it switched to the other part. Those questions were luckily answered by the end of it and yet as it ended we were still left with one. How many more aliens are there? Seemingly there is a new alien in town and Byul can sense them. I would have assumed this was hinting at a season 2 but from the looks of things, that's not going to happen. Which is fine, it just means that Circle shall forever end with one question left- on a cliffhanger that keeps you guessing even in the last seconds.
Also, I just want to say how surprising it was that Beom Gyun just accepted Woo Jin as himself even though he'd said a few minutes before that that wasn't his brother and that his brother was dead. Guess after he remembered what Woo Jin said to him before he disappeared, he felt like this really could be his brother- even if he was technically a clone.
Honestly, I feel like Woo Jin is still Woo Jin- because after all your body isn't what makes you you. It's your memories and your personality and your soul- of course, I'm not sure if clone Woo Jin got the soul part but everything else about him screams original Woo Jin. So, I'm glad he was accepted as himself and that he had a happy ending.
I very much enjoyed watching and I hope you did too.
Now, onto the next one!
(Can't wait to see Yeo Jin Goo in another drama, he is mighty foine...Lee Gi Kwang too!)

Wow
What mastermind cooked this up??Wow. What can I say other than wow?
Such an amazing drama...it keeps you enticed and practically begging for more. It's weird but goddamn is it my kind of weird.
Honestly, it's probably one of the best dramas I've ever seen. It's so different and crazy and just incredibly outlandish.
You have no idea what's around that corner, you have no idea what's in that fridge, you have no idea what the next sentence- the next movement will bring.
Absolutely and undeniably certifiably insanely good. Watch this drama and revel in the absolute pure madness and "what the hell is going on here" moments.
Wow. Just wow.
If there was another season...sign me the hell up.

Drama Special Series Season 1: White Christmas

The setting, the characters, the plot.
Everything about it was utterly gripping right until the very end.
It's hard to come by a drama so different and so brilliant.
I recommend this to anyone who wants a great drama to watch.
A special shout out to:
Yoon Soo- a tragically beautiful character with a lot of room to grow
Chi Hoon- an undeniably smart and quick witted character with a lot more to achieve
Cameraman Yang- an imperfect character; determined to carry on
Moo Yul- a leader who worked to keep everyone safe in the most dire situation
These characters are the ones I will mention because of how they stood out to me. However, all of the characters in the drama were much appreciated.
To those who watch this drama, I hope you appreciate them too.

Where do I start? First of all, Ha Ru and Dan O were very compatible and luckily there was no second lead syndrome involved. Gyeong, however rude he may have been, was a character with baggage that had trouble expressing himself but did eventually come to terms with himself and his relationship with Dan O. I never thought they looked good together so it was good when they established that.
Do Hwa was a really nice and likeable character and therefore I think he would have no problem getting over his crush.
And then there's the ending. My god the ending.
Ha Ru and Dan O being reunited in the real world or a different world, whichever it may be, is the best ending I could have asked for.
The story is completely unique and perfection.
I am a huge fan of the actors and the characters as a whole.
Overall, this kdrama is amazing and it has just the right amount of everything.
I love it.
Definitely a huge shame it's over....but it's ok because i can always rewatch it. And theres never a shortage of dramas so.....onto the next one.

Awesome but confusing
It was an awesome drama but the end had me asking about ten questions that I thought would have been answered by the last few minutes.Unfortunately, I'm still as confused as I was at the beginning. It's a shame there were so many unanswered questions... that fact leads me to believe that there could be a second season. I doubt it, though. I feel that the cliff-hanger at the end was intended to be left there, all things unanswered.
I guess it was still great just had a questionable ending. How do I put it? There was no moment of catharsis. But the characters and setting and whole dystopian feel was quite cool. It reminded me of maze runner actually.

First of all, I'm a really big fan of the casting. I like Lee Joo Young's role (her tomboyish nature reminded me of her character in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo) and also the other characters are very fitting in looks as they are with their personality. I enjoy the funny scenes as well as the scenes with more depth. I'm looking forward to watching as the plot develops further. I would very much recommend watching this drama as it is very unique and interesting.

Adorable
Not only were the boys absolutely adorable but they actually had a solid storyline for once. This is literally the first BL I've watched where the main conflict isn't 'we're both guys' which is absolutely great as it shows that we're becoming a more accepting society and putting that to good use by making a cute BL for us all to feel jealous over :P The kiss was much needed so I'm glad they included it but I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't more passionate though thats kinda a kdrama theme. Also I loved it so much that it's a shame that it was so short. I definitely recommend this and fully support a potential second seasonWas this review helpful to you?
