so this is a rant because im hella upset for the drama writer a question you did this for what?
now lets start shall we
first of all this drama on paper is very up my ally shocking twists romance crime and comedy but the wway it was executed was lacking to say the least up until the 7th episode I was having fun the story was fun and easy to follow but then it suddenly switched genres to be only dark with a sprinkle of fun moments that seemed so out of place just brighten the mood but it honestly came out as forced overall it wasnt a bad drama its watchable but very lacking
now lets talk about why im mad shall we first of literally alot of characted were shot stabbed and what not and managed to survive but you killed the detective off for what huh? it wasnt even a tear jerking death it just felt very rushed another one of my reasons to be mad if you watch the last couple of eps youll feel as if you watched the characters go round and round for 10 eps for no reason at all cuz prosecutor kang knew everything all along so why put them in these kinds of situations and make them investigate for whattt? another thing like i mentioned previously i love a twist believe me i do but i refuse to believe that the guy that was smiling in a photobooth and taking care od An literally laughing with him was behind this and stayed silent foe that many years it just felt as if the writers wanted the viewers to be shocked but it honestly didnt feel convincing
on a brighter note I noticed that everyone was prasing jinyoungs acting but honestly for me the second leads stole the show cant wait to see them in other dramas

What a wonderful ride this has been one of the best dramas dealing with mental health in my opinion also giving this is kind of an older drama I think it was way before its time its very well made also my very first jo in sung drama and let me tell you I fell hard for him and everything that sung dong il is in is bound to be good the ost was more than amazing and complemented the story pretty well now lets get on to the negatives shall we first of all I would like to say that jae youls storyline has become one of my favorites but due to that fact it felt as though hae soos character was just a supporting role with really finishing off her story in the first few eps which made me sad given that her disorder is sth that ive never seen in a kdrama before also the last ep for me were very unecessary and disappointing like she went for a year and came back sooooooooooooo is everything ok now? this entire family drama was very unecessary for me however overall this is a solid watch that I enjoyedWas this review helpful to you?

I already could tell that strangers from hell was going to be good from the first episode but having just finished it all I can say is wow South Korea really is the master of the psychological and horror genre that other series just cant seem to compete .
Lee Dong Wook did one of the best jobs ive seen thus far taking on a psycho role but hat truly impressed me was the rest of the cast having not seen any of their work it was such a shock to see how real it was.
In all honesty I hate the crime and thriller dramas that center around politics and police coruption and what not so I was more than please to see that this had nothing to do with this and jjust focuse on the psychologocal factor.
The whole series was a masterpiece from start to finish but the ending was just the cherry on top really one of the best.
I guarntee that you will never look at strangers the same again after this watch.

All stepmoms in fairy tales are evil. Stepmoms are moms too.
Hi bye mama is the story of the aftermath of a loved ones death and acceptance of ones fate and finding closure and moving on I was touched by this story on personal level and I found comfort in believing my loved ones are watching over me and giving me strength every step of the way i also really loved how well the characters were developed and the amount of maturity this show has is superb also the side stories were good but not to the point where they could stand on their own two feet and i really didnt like this cuz i honestly enjoy deep side stories and its not like the show didnt have enough episodesand time to do that which brings me to my second point that this show is the perfect example of a show that should have been a movie cuz i honestly i was bored out of my mind watchingthe characters cry over the same issues for five episodes straight and having the same flashbacks over and over over again the show was good but could ve been better but that doesnt mean i didnt bawl my eyes out overall its a good show but doesnt have rewatch value in my opinionWas this review helpful to you?
kdrama at its finest
This was just an amazing watvhing after drifting away from the romcom genre that got me into the kdrama world in the first place and watching newer more intense and complex dramas I needed a reminder of what got me here in the first place the characters were amazing the story is very much unbelievable but that didnt really affect my view on this I have to say that I became a Hye Sun after this she did more than well at portraying a difficult character in my opinion shes didnt make her over childish nor too muture and also characters like Jennifer usually make me cringe but she was such a delight chan and his friends were my main reasons of liking this drama rather than the romance partWas this review helpful to you?
First of all before watching the reply series I was kinda surprised after reading the sypnosis why it had a huge following but after watching I finally got it it really makes you feel part of their families and struggkes also the humor aspect in this is superb I enjoyed every episode a really nice watch also after 1988 that left me with secong lead syndrom it was nice to see my ship fail
now lets start with the negatives shall we
1- 1988s eps although were very long they were the reason why people got so attached to it so having shorther eps although better for the viewer madee it less reslistic in my own opinion
2-non of the actors in this in my opinion blew me away they were ok at most
3-I think replys biggest strength is the friendship and family aspect however it felt as if it was kinda lacking here with focusing more on the romance which to be honest was kinda my least favorite part about reply1997
4-where are the osts I could literally hear non
even after all of the negatives I think reply1997 is a true gem and would be an enjoyable watch for anyone with a I would say a great approach in having an lgbtq character without all the cliches and stereotypes and with kind of racy jokes that will get you laughing on the ground

my only complaint is that having eight 10 minute eps made it feel too weird imagine if this was a full on show with plot now thats something lets just hope we will see this in the future
and as an ost enthusiast this one just hit the spot the op was too good and fitting
