The beginning of this drama was great. It was very engaging and together with the characters we discovered what had happened. I was curious what Ji Won had to do to change her life and how she would achieve it. However, around episode 10/11 it became predictable. I didn't have as much fun watching this drama as I did at the beginning. That's why I stopped watching it several times and then came back to it. But don't get me wrong, this drama is really good. With top actors, great OST and plot. After episode 11, there was simply an element missing that would completely absorb me.


I don't think Yura's appearance was a bad idea. It added to the plot and ultimately made sense.

I really had fun watching this drama. I found out that it is a parody of another historical drama, which made it easier to watch. It's just the kind of silly comedy that you can laugh while watching and you know from the very beginning that everything will end well. The actors did quite well. They played the way I expected. Nothing too serious. This drama is great to watch as an interlude between dramas and movies with more serious themes. I've seen opinions that a lot of things haven't been explained, but I don't think so. For me everything is clear and easy to deduce. You just have to remember that this drama has fantasy elements.

I really understand that the drama has short episodes and there are few of them, which makes it impossible to do a very extensive plot, but it definitely could have been done better. Why is there a toxic and stalking ex-boyfriend in the drama, who caused the main character to be traumatized, if this topic is not developed at all? We don't get a chance to see how Seung Jun handles the situation because all the explanations take place off-screen. And then we suddenly get a happy ending. It's obvious that the story was mentioned only to make Jae Hyun a hero. Instead, everything was happening too fast, making him a stalker. Also in the drama, there were far too many additional characters who contributed absolutely nothing to the story.

If you decide to watch this drama, keep in mind that it's just a time filler and you'll quickly forget about it.

Fit my drama taste perfectly.

This drama was even better than I expected.
I usually like when there is romance in a drama. There are very few times I would hate it and find it disturbing. It's just my preference. I don't like it when romance takes a long time to develop and then suddenly everything speeds up because the drama ends. So that's already one of the advantages of this drama.
Another thing I liked was the fairly quick reconciliation between the brothers. We were given hints from the beginning that they didn't completely hate each other, so it was a good choice to pursue this subplot this way.
The third thing I liked was that the creators showed from the beginning that they took a specific direction, but at the same time there were also several plot twists.
The side characters also contributed a lot to this drama. The whole thing just fit my drama taste perfectly.

It's a short film worth seeing because it's pretty good, funny at times, and has some really good actors.

It's about how a particular woman perceives her body. I think a lot of people can relate to this situation. The presented situation concerns a mother who doesn't want food to go to waste. She is the one who eats all the leftovers, which results in a slight weight gain. This makes her anxious. Her husband sees all this and the events are also presented from his perspective. Ultimately, he tries to support her and not lead to a situation where the woman eats between meals.
I liked how the husband's perspective was shown. He tried to explain and appreciate everything.

I watched the drama 3 times a few years ago and for some reason I'm so biased towards the story itself. At first I wanted to watch the drama again but I was afraid that I would spoil my memories of it so I finally decided to watch the film adaptation.

The story is so sad that I cried a lot even though it was hard for me to empathize with the characters because of the very poor acting. The film is missing some things that for me were a bit of an essential part of the drama. Like the reason why Hiro dyed his hair dark. Maybe it's not that important, but it's the part that has stuck in my memory for all these years.

Despite all my fondness for this story, I'm really disappointed with the execution. I managed to enjoy this movie only because of the good memories of the drama and the will to watch something that will definitely make me cry.

Sky of Love is one of those stories that made me cry the most.

BL school dramas are starting to get tiresome for me so it's really exciting to watch productions with adult characters. Usually these relationships are more mature and there is no room for toxic behavior in them, which I really like.

The actors played their roles very well. I like the lead couple better mainly because they weren't as chaotic as the second couple. I also like the fact that there was asexual character, which I think is rare in East Asian productions.

In my opinion, having magic like mind reading, the problems and positive things associated with it, is a good metaphor of how important communication is in relationships.

I really love this drama. It was cute but emotional.

The film tells the story of what happens after the death of Kung Min. To be honest, overall this film was very drastic and from my perspective it felt so real. We see what happens to students and what consequences their words and deeds have. However, even though it's not shown explicitly, the way the story is shown indicates that it's from an adult's perspective. Why do I think so? Because throughout the video, things are shown that may have influenced Kyung Min, but there is no confirmation as to what actually made her act. The adults didn't really want to listen to Young Hee who might know something about the cause of Kyung Min's death. They just made up their own narrative to what she said. They completely ignored the fact that she mentioned her suicidal thoughts.

As viewers, we don't get a clear reason for what ultimately led to Kyung Min's death. It could have been many of the situations mentioned in the movie or something that has never been revealed.

Overall it's a good movie. Unfortunately, it was boring at times. The actors did a great job and the camera work is a big advantage for this film.

Honestly, after seeing the ratings and reviews, especially on MDL, I didn't have high expectations for this movie. But I decided to give it a try anyway.

Maybe it's just my expectations, but "The Queen of Crime" is not such a bad movie. There are elements characteristic of Korean productions, such as shady building administration or a mother who pretends not to see that her son treats her badly. 303's unfinished story bothers me a bit. It's a pity that this part of the plot was simply forgotten.

This movie is definitely not for everyone.

I liked the camera work and the overall vibe. The actors did well and I like the main characters.

It is a good movie to watch once.

As much as I want to like this movie, I see so many shortcomings.

After watching this movie, I know that my expectations were too high. The story itself is emotional and moving, but this film lacks a lot.

I understand that the creators wanted to arouse sadness and sympathy in the viewers, but the dramatic, inconsistent music in almost every scene were too much. Some scenes were also overly dramatic. This made the movie hard to watch. The story itself was engaging and it seems as if the creators wanted to evoke too many emotions at once, which resulted in the opposite.

The actors who played the roles of So Wa Wai did a good job, but the performances of the others were worse.

One more thing bothers me after watching this movie. Briefly mentioned plots of side characters have been forgotten. There was no development. Without them, nothing would have changed in this film. One example is when Wa Wai's brother sold his medals. After that, during an argument with his mother, he expressed his feelings about his parents' treatment. After he left slamming the door, there was no further reference to this situation later in the film. There are more examples like this.

As much as I want to like this movie, I see so many shortcomings.

It was only 26 minutes but it was so intense. I wasn't expecting that ending at all. This was definitely the shocking part of the film.

The atmosphere in the first part of the film was tense but mixed with some seemingly peaceful moments. The first part also focused on finding a way to determine who the family of the deceased is. The second part focused on presenting the solution to the argument. And the ending was an unexpected culmination of the whole film.

Park Chan-wook made sure that the viewer felt some discomfort while watching this film. It is provocative.

"Judgment" is a really good short film.

She Makes My Heart Flutter healed my heart.

First of all, I think that the length of this drama is perfect for the story presented in this way. I'm afraid it would be boring if it was longer. This was my second fully GL drama. The first one was Lily Fever and I was excited about it before I started watching. The poor execution and story left me traumatized for years.

Now I feel like She Makes My Heart Flutter healed my heart. It's a cute, fluffy story with a pretty and atmospheric set design. It shows how queer women approach their sexuality, friendship and love depending on the generation. It was a good idea to show it in one drama.

The actresses and crew did a really good job.

I recommend watching this drama. It's worth your time.

Season two is weaker than season one.

UPDATE AFTER I FINISHED WATCHING THE DRAMA
I want to praise the acting performance of Yang Yoo Jin (Yun Ah Ra). She was really good. She reminds me a bit of Lee Sung Kyung.

The last five episodes were better because Hyun Ho's toxic jealousy was not shown.

Also, I love Ryu Seol.

Anyway, I will not watch the series anymore. I feel as if the next parts are really unnecessary and too repetitive in relation to the previous ones.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER WATCHING 10 EPISODES
rating: 5/10

The first season was really pretty good and fun to watch. However, season two is weaker even though the acting seems to be a little better.

Hyun Ho is so toxic this season. This makes him annoying to watch. He said he trusts Yeon Doo... And he still acts like an idiot.

Since our main characters, as a couple and friends, can't talk to each other honestly, Ah Ra is doing great at manipulating them. And the beginning was going so well when the first misunderstanding she created between Hyun Ho and Yeon Doo was quickly cleared up.

I really hate it when characters can't talk to each other honestly and misunderstandings build up. But I guess without it the writers wouldn't have a way to create 16 episodes so I have to get through this if I want to end this drama.

The cast is excellent but the film isn't.

The cast is excellent but the film isn't. That's why I'm a bit disappointed with this title.

The beginning was pretty good. It showed well-made scenery, which made me excited about this film. However, after an hour it got boring. And it was boring for sixty minutes straight. The ending was better than the scenes before, but that's still not it.

I feel as if the plot of this movie is truncated, and too simple. In the end, you can easily deduce what happened to Gi Hoon, but what about his parents? Why did these people go to them? Considering the whole film and that Han was in pursuit of the main characters because he made it his goal, it was soo out of context. This part really doesn't make sense to me.

Also, the film was very predictable. It was obvious to me what would happen to the main characters.

At least the background music was good.

I love this show.

When it comes to TV Shows, I usually only watch single episodes of interest to me. However, "Young Actors' Retreat" is a very entertaining and captivating show. I kept smiling through each episode. This show really made me laugh a lot.

I love every actor who has appeared in it. It felt very real when at first actors who did not know each other felt awkward, but over time they got used to each other and began to tighten bonds. It was cool to get to know the actors better this way.

I'll miss this show so much and I think I'll come back to it when I'm in a bad mood. It would be great if there were more shows like "Young Actors' Retreat".
