POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!
This is one of the best dramas I've watched around this time. No drama piqued my interest until this aired. Though I like dramas that have something to do with romance, this drama made me reconsider my preferences. It is action-packed and I also love the revenge act they are going with it. It is so satisfying to watch the bad guys getting punished.I can see Yeon Shi Eun and Ahn Soo Ho's immaculate friendship even though the drama didn't fully show how close they are.
This is the first ever drama I've watched that I cried because of the pure friendship they had. This drama is a 10/10 on my Nth in my drama list.
I'd totally recommend this drama to my peers if they haven't watched this cause it is a MUST for the drama is really great.

It was fun until...................
Have been eyeing this drama since its teaser was released as the male lead is a promising rising star from Penthouse paired with a veteran actress and wondering how will this end up. The first few episodes were fun, and the love-hate relationship of the leads is amusing to watch. This is the first time that I valued the supporting characters as much as the main leads, their story was also interesting so there were no dull moments whenever they change the scenes. I never paid much attention to their acting because it was just too natural.It was fun to watch and all UNTIL I reached around the later episodes after the leads got together. I felt the drama got slowed, there isn't much chemistry. I kinda thought of dropping the drama but kept on going anyways for the sake of the time I invested in this. The ending was so much more to tell, but I think they let it hang like that for the watchers to run their imaginations. However, it is not the ending I preferred.
Overall the drama is great with a lot of variety of lessons in general whether it be in the entertainment industry, love, life, etc.
I guess it was worth my weekend's time.

What a joyride of a drama....
This drama was unexpectedly great, although the plot of the drama doesn't relate to my life. yet it gave me a good time every single episode. The drama gave me feelings of sorrow, wholesomeness, pain, thrill, happiness, romance, and so much more that I couldn't elaborate clearly.The acting was superb, the actors really brought their A-game for this drama. The emotions that they portray are just so natural. Their outraging performances must be my favorite scenes, it ignited their talents of how great they are in acting.
As for the plot, this one is fresh for me, I've been watching Korean dramas since childhood, for instance, Lovers in Paris. I've never seen a drama with this kind of plot, everything is fresh as new. I love how the drama consists of unexpected turns of table, sometimes the female lead got the upper hand and then the second female turns the table. It is so thrilling to watch that could make you grab at the edge of your seat. There were no boring scenes or plot holes to make the drama longer, everything was straightforward and the drama just want to tell the viewers that the show will be straight to the point. They suppress the romance between the leads because it was not the main genre for this drama. However, I wish they could've added romance genre to this drama as the chemistry of the leads is there. I was so eager to see some more romance between them. Though the drama only got 8 episodes which was a shame, I know for myself that there is more story to unfold after that ending.
Overall, the drama was exquisite. The plot was fresh and I highly recommend this to whoever got interested in watching this drama. I guarantee that every time spent watching this drama will be worth it.

Heart flutters time after time!
This drama is so cute! I know there are a lot of dramas that are in the same settings as this one. However, the story made it unique among them. The drama started as slow for us to get to know the characters since the drama has multiple leads which is understandable and as it should. I never thought that I would be so invested in this drama as I hesitated on watching this.The plot may be ubiquitous to some people but let's agree on the fact that it was somewhat enjoyable and some uniqueness in it too. I liked that I thought I was 100% sure about my bet on who's the admirer (the one who wrote posts for dear.M) but I was wrong and was astonished. The lead couples have their own stories to tell which was very enjoyable. The episode got more exciting when the episode was done intruding on their bonds as friends and started to show the conflicts to one another.
Their acting was good in my opinion, there are just some scenes of the actors that lacked expressions so I couldn't feel the emotion of the act. Park Hye Soo is just so cute, she really is so immersed in her character. The way she acts is just so pleasant, maybe it's her voice, face, or her acting but all I could say is that she is an awesome actress. Out of all the characters here, she is my favorite because her role here is just so lovable. Jae Jyun is so adorable here with his perfect man role here. He's generous, considerate, well-behaved, caring, and many many more than you can imagine. His acting is good, I would say there be more improvements as he continues his acting era.
As for Roh Jeong Eui (Seo Ji Min), she is so beautiful. Her character here is so pure and loyal to her boyfriend which is what I admire the most in this drama. Her acting is good, but there are just times when her acting is kind of awkward.
Bae Hyun Sung (Park Ha Neul) is just so sweet to her girlfriend. He is the kind of boyfriend that is just reserved and sweet at the same time but will be fierce when someone tries to mess with Seo Ji MIn. I like his loyalty to his girlfriend, his tenacity to stay strong is just immense. However, his acting sometimes is lacking in expression? Maybe it's part of the act as the personality of his role is introverted, maybe that's how it should be acted.
Lee Jin Hyuk (Gil Mok Jin) and Woo Da Vi (Hwang Bo Young) got that slow-burn romance. They are so cute as a couple and I know both of them would be a perfect pair.
There is that one song that got me which is "Something's wrong". I love ballads that's why I took a liking to it and the lyrics reflect the situation of Cha min ho and Ma Jo Ah. I didn't know Park Hye Soo could sing aside from Jae Hyun which is from the popular boy group NCT, her voice is serene and pleasing.
Overall, It's an enjoyable drama to watch. It brings youth vibes that will always bring a fresh feeling to the viewers. I wouldn't say I would rewatch this but all I can say is that it is worth the time.

First Japanese drama I've ever watched. and......
This is the first-ever Japanese drama I've watched. The survival plot got my attention that's why I spent my leisure time watching this drama. I could label myself as an anime lover/watcher as I've watched a ton of anime since childhood but I never got interested in watching a drama from Japan as I found their acting sometimes exaggerated (I watched clips from TikTok) which is not for my taste when it comes to dramas unless its an anime you can be hysteric all you want cause it's cute. However, this one is different, I was amused by how it was directed and acted.First of all, let's talk about the cinematography, EXQUISITE. It is so well done, I wasn't expecting it would that superb. I thought it would have some naive special effects. ambiance. camera transitions etc but I was amused. Second is the plot, I've seen a lot of kinds of dramas/movies like this and I always find myself immersed in the situations they got into and try to guess or find the answers for myself if my observations/suspicions are correct. This drama got my intuitive self wrong, there are just those scenes where you thought your guess was right but it wasn't, so good job on making it unexpected answers from the wrong guesses the viewers made. The third is the acting, the acting was superb I'm not going to lie. I thought sometimes they are just going to act hysterically but they did not. Lastly, I've found some scenes that look like anime scenes. For instance, random flashbacks from characters, the way they sound sometimes reminds me of anime, and some transitions when there are many scenes that are going on simultaneously.
In conclusion, It is a great drama that is worth your time. I wouldn't say I would watch it again because it's too violent for me and I already know the mystery the drama has so the thrill would be gone if I rewatch this.

One of a kind drama
This drama has been exercising my face every episode! From smiling too much. pouting my mouth, laughing my mouth widely, and crying too much. This drama has been a roller coaster, every episode has been worth my time. The drama made me feel good about myself as some of the characters has the same situation as me and it comforted as I have no one to comfort myself with. I'm very thankful that this drama existed cause I think my life wouldn't be complete without it. As for the acting, they are superb. Their acting really got me as if it happened naturally. The scenery was just perfect, the sea, the markets, house everything was just memorable and calming. The plot is just incredible, it was perfectly aligned, rich, healing at the same time. I hope I could watch this for the first time again. I think this has to be one of the best drama ever made.Was this review helpful to you?
