I did not know what to expect lol. I only knew that I was going to watch it because Choi Woo Shik and Son Suk Ku was going to be in it. From the outset, the premise hooked me with its intriguing setup. Lee Tang, an ordinary college student, finds himself in a nightmare scenario after a fatal altercation at his part-time job. The tension escalates as he grapples with the guilt and fear of his actions, only to discover a startling truth: the man he killed was a notorious serial killer. Lee Tang's journey from a guilt-ridden vigilante was portrayed with depth and nuance. I thought that his struggles and conflicts added layers of complexity to the narrative, making him quite a compelling ML to follow. SSK character added depth to this intricate web of morality and justice.

The first half was great! The storyline was sharp and kept me on edge but as it comes to the second half it became quite dull. Cast was top notch with CWS knocking it out of the park as LT. One minute you're rooting for him and then the other time you just questions him and his decisions. LOL.

This was quite a binge-worth drama. I only wished the thriller part of it was more and longer.

Watched this when it first came out. I did not expect to like it nor did I know any of the actors except for Vincent Jiao who I watched a few of his works when he was younger. I ended up enjoying this more than I thought. It is your classic enemies to lovers plot except more angsty. I read the novel before too and watched the original with Wallace Chung so I had a lot to compare it to. The plot shifted a lot and so did the love line. Originally, FHX and CN was lovers-and I love them in the novel. I hated that they chnaged it to FHX and MFL. In addition to that FHX and MFL had too many miscommunicatio- or non communication at all to the point where it was getting annoying and frustrated. Have to say my favorite character is Cui Nong and will always be Cui Nong. They should've just let her die in FHX's arms and leave it at that. Watching this drama gave me sooo much headache and stress. LOL. But because of this I became a fan of Zhu Yi Long. Rewatch Value for me is 1/10.

A Fun and Light Drama to Watch

"My Sweet Mobster" was a delightful surprise that quickly became a favorite. I went in without any expectations and automatically fell in love, especially with the main guy, Seo Ji Hwan. As the CEO of a food company that offers fresh starts to ex-convicts, his character was both intriguing and endearing. Despite his gangland past that has a tendency to follow him even after retirement, Seo Ji Hwan maintains a murky personal history with no known vices. He has this tough exterior, but when he's with our female lead, Eun Ha, he turns into a cute little puppy, which was absolutely adorable to watch.

The plot moved fast, starting with lots of bickering and back-and-forth between the main leads before they both automatically fell in love. I loved how their relationship developed, with the push and pull creating just the right amount of tension before they finally admitted their feelings.

But what I loved even more than the first leads were the supporting characters, particularly the crew at Thirsty Deer. They were impeccable with their comedic relief and played a crucial role in bringing the leads together every time they had a fallout. The crew added so much warmth and humor to the drama, making it even more enjoyable to watch.

There is nothing bad I can say about this drama. Everything was so fluffy, light, and cute, making "My Sweet Mobster" a perfect feel-good watch. If you're looking for something that will make you smile from start to finish, this drama is definitely worth checking out.

Snooze-Fest!!!

"Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact" sounded like it was going to be a blast, especially with Yang Mi in the mix and all that flashy CGI. But man, was I let down!

First off, the story moves slower than a snail on a Sunday stroll. I mean, halfway through, I was still waiting for something exciting to happen! And don't even get me started on Shi Ji's constant resurrections. It's like they're trying to beat a dead horse... literally.

Then there's the chemistry between Yuechu and Honghong. Or should I say the lack thereof? I mean, come on, if I wanted to watch two planks of wood interact, I'd go watch paint dry.

Oh, and let's not forget about the side love stories. They were like tiny crumbs of romance in a desert of blandness. I mean, I couldn't care less about those characters because they were as flat as pancakes.

And get this: I could watch a whole 45-minute episode in under 20 minutes and still know exactly what happened and what's going to happen next. Talk about predictable! It's like they're not even trying to keep viewers on their toes.

I had such high hopes for this drama, but it just didn't deliver. Sure, the CGI and VFX were pretty, but that's about the only good thing I can say. Overall, it's a snoozefest that's not worth wasting your time on.
