Good start, wobbly ending without explanation
So basically its a good show if u are not a too much fan of k dramas. Like u haven't watched alot of k dramas before. I have only watched 3,4 kdramas but i was still bored and i realized that it has alot of same old stories and they even copy goblins scenes. Even a child can tell.So basically fl and ml was hella beautiful. Super classy and cute. Only good thing about drama.
I have alot of questions like why the hell the grannys childs become so evil for no reason and adopted daughter wasn't? Why the hell granny prefers and loves her adopted child more then her 1 and only grandson. I totally agree that she has beef with his son but why with her grandson? His grandson didn't even done anything wrong. And nah don't tell me she hated him for wrong doings but wait she was cold and oblivious to her even in the 1 episode. Her adopted daughter and her grandson was of same age but she keep on acting like he doesn't even exist and fancy fl like what. Granny, aunt and even dohee which were all super powerful, rich, educated, clever and CEOs yet everyone was unable to see all the abuse noh do gyoun go through. That is so unnecessary. I feel so wrong about that kid. He was the youngest of all and yet he has to have such tragic life as well as death too.
So the main villain said he was a sinner even before he committed any crime. We didn't get to explore that part. In the end V get visions of his mother but not his own son which he brutally assaulted and mutilated for no reason. It should have been included.
Now coming to plot like it was same as goblin. He dies to save her then she wished to see him and he appears.
The god was way too comfortable living in human world. Come on god, don't u have anything to do? The sister was way to useless and didn't even contributed to the plots was only there to bring comedy. The assistants was there to give 2nd hand embarrassment with cringe romance. I like how jin star give up being a villain after 1 attempt. The overly protective ju soek hyuen also gives up after 1 attempt. Not even a single crazy plot twist. Even the past lives were unnecessary only bring the issue about Catholic beliefs. like what. They literally showed the villains in the very first episode. And in a well developed, well educated, work orientated country like korea, there is a demon living happily and telling every other person about his identity so easily and everyone is believing him like its very common.
Overall I watched all the drama (skipped some useless romantic scenes) and i was impressed at firt some episodes but then it went ?. But i completed anyway cause leads were way too handsome and pretty to skip.

A silent world is not a sad world
Ahhhh! Such a slow burn, coping, sweet and selfless story.It gives such a huge understanding about the people that suffer hearing loss. They all tries to help him cope and they all love him.
It is natural for a person to think that his disabilities can make everyone around him suffer but the only thing that makes human suffer is the pain of losing someone.
The story is such a cute one where everyone was trying to understand eachother feelings. I saw the drama beacuse I liked the minato visuals but damn the story was way to good. I loved how everyone tried to adjust to each other just beacuse beacuse of their friendships.
I hope everyone in real life was as understandable as the characters in this drama.

You must not fall in love
Omg this drama was so dark it almost tainted my heart. First of all i think you really need to like dark psychology or you should have to be intelligent to grip the plots of this drama. Everyone in this drama is smarter then other. Its like an endless war of how to act and react in every single situation. Everyone is very cunning but at the end of the day everyone had a heart. It showed the endless battle for freedom.Alot of us actually missed some key points regarding the ending Because noway from the start i was expecting a happy ending. The drama was meant to left incomplete. As we all know ziyu always wished to have a life outside of the gong residence. Meanwhile it was already revealed that there are only 4 wangs and 2 Liang leaders so obviously wushang is not completely shut.
The purpose of drama was to never show an unrealistic ending where there is forever peace. Instead to show the understanding for wushang people that they can choose to be happy. And gong people that not everyone in wushang deserves to die. It also showed how every single character came out of their dilemma and fight to achieve what they wanted. It really showed how all of them can go though sunset and wait for our sun rise. It also showed no matter how cruel and cold blooded you are, you are still a human and it still hurts to be a human.
I am eager to see season 2.

I am not the orphan you are!
Ahhh, it was a slow burn. I got so much emotional so quickly.The historical factor was way too good. It showed so much raw emotions of youth. Alot of times I keep saying that that youth was straight up idiot. But now that I look back i realized that this very situation is true. We always says that we should protect ourselves no matter what but when we actually gets to that situation we don't think about ourselves but we actually think about our loved ones.
I belongs from Pakistan and I remember, I was in a situation when i was just a kid myself someone tried to do a terrorist attack on my school. At that time i forget who was i and i just run to save my brother too even though there was a (potential) bomb in the building i run to save my brother. Now that i look back there were so many people there to save my brother but I still couldn't stop myself.
I like how hee tae mother was afraid that he would hate him since she was not his mother. I also liked the way that how his father was too brutal but it hurt him so much when his own son got shot or dragged into investigation.
Every single time a country gets into some situations it becomes so horrifying for everyone to just do the unthinkable like the police man doesn't wanted the civilians to die but end up dying himself. There were people in military who never wanted to kill but was ordered.
Hee tae character was so well written, it was so close to real life, he was a person who was realistic i liked how he down play everything that come his way. It was a good story overall.
Soo Royeon was such a brave and good lady. Her family was the definition of good family.
It didn't show emotions of just 1 person but showed emotions of a whole nation that went through that may. The youth of may was irrational but wasn't heartless.

I can only continue walking forward
Yes it was Great watching it specially the story building and and character building was so good accurate and every single thing in this drama was super good. It make me more sure that one should never think about committing crimes such as killing or suicide. Both can be very dangerous. But the fact they all somehow resolved there 1000 year old beef and tried to be together is so cute. They didn't only focus on main lead but also support lead. I also wanted to see dok hwa getting married or having rebirth with them too. I didn't expected to have such a plot like i was thinking dok hwa is going to be someone bad but it turns out he was not. It was so cute and lovely to have them see together again.Was this review helpful to you?

Best drama for women, understanding couple, forgiving nature.
I am very pleased after watching this drama, It doesn't show emotion of 1 character. it tells collective stories of all the characters and in a very raw, unfiltered, and natural way.I also doesn't show super powerful villain or hero but rather show how they use their brains and even lie and trick to win the battles. The plots were not like alien attacks or supernatural infact they were exactly what you would expect from a historical drama like war, politics, society, and all these small social issues.
My only thing that i wanted to see was the highschool reunion of drinking wine of jisung that they promised in early episodes. Every Time jisung visit his hometown i was expecting the reunion from his best buddy but it never happened i was expecting it at the last episode too. His friends sacrificed so much for him i really wanted them to see each other again sometime.
But it was so good it has sorrow but still understandable. i cried alot but also enjoyed every single episode. There wasn't a single episode i ever wanted to skip. Thank you to actors, producers and writers for bringing this to light.
No crazy or sad ending thank god. Jisung and ye acting was good according to roles. Yuru was also good.

Under power, relations are bound to be broken
So, first of all i agree by the people who are saying Zhang ling he doesn't get much screen time is true. He is such a great actor in this drama his acting was very good his visuals was very pretty and sexy. The married couples bickering, cute moments, and the steamy scenes were so so much good but my complain here is they were very short lived and left us craving for more.I even noticed that the male lead often got ignored or invalidate in so many scenes. And us as audience was not ready. He even got stabbed in fields and the princess just asked him to go after bickering. Its like he was the original victim. He helped everyone in so many matters but he always become sidelined in so many situations.
And what was wrong with writers and producers? They tried so hard to convince us that SML is innocent. But he was not innocent.

Cute, goofy and cringe but just for fun
It has very cute actors but a lot of second hand embarrassment moments. Everyone is so goofy it looks like some gen z author wrote this story. But somehow its funny and entertaining so its good for binge watch.I really like our itsy bitsy cutsey male character... The designer was also on crack or some shit cuz he used neon color and stuffed toys. Like come on its just way too oblivious. But still its funny. Another thing I noticed is that some of the props keeps on changing either their size or shape. They legit used a key chain as a token of love lol. Jewelry was cute. Overalls it was so gen z coded like its so cringe that it is actually funny and interesting lol...

Dying wasn't even an option, they weren't afraid of dying, they were afraid of being abandoned
This story was very unique. I will not make very long review but the overall concept revolve around1. Society was afraid to live in a new change.
2. People were afraid to be be abandoned and unloved
The reality was humans were afraid of being a monster. But they were also afraid of being alone. The sweet home family on the other hand understood very early that monsters can behave like humans if they can overcome their fears. Sadly it took forever for the whole world to actually understand this. At the end they embrace neo humans and avoid being monsters.
I really liked eun hyuk character like from the start he was trying to do the good things but everyone ultimately called him a heartless person. Even at the end he wanted to sacrifice himself instead of hyun su. I think it since all of them were young they were good at expressing themselves. And eun hyuk was caught up in all of this. Admit it or not it was his words who kept everyone alive.
Btw the bus scene really showed bl vibes like the fight, bickering but still sitting so close to each other.

At the end it happened as it was predicted
Drama is so cool...Videography, CGI, fights, songs are way too good... Trust me its a piece of art in the world of CGI....
The story was very predictable but it was refined and it pretty much have alot of things explained. The way they explained everything in full circle is very good.
It also have philosophical touch like both male and female lead were always not thinking straight but at some point they finally started to see the full reality and accept that they were both are loved specially the male lead changed alot. His acting was on point. And his smirk was very attractive. Fl also showed anger so well like her acting is something.
2nd male lead sacrifice in both lifes were so precious but in the end he messed up a little but still understandable but 2nd fl was so evil but she also become good at the end.
3rd leads were so pretty so cute and so innocent i can't believe they will perform this good.
But china is above and beyond with CGI. I have seen good dramas with bad CGI so it was a refreshment.
Btw ML not only got tortured but also got sedated and Ra**ed by FL. And u can't change my mind ?.

It is heavy when you carry everything at once
It is japan off course it is going to be a cute drama.It shows how we all give up on our jobs beacuse we all fails sometime. But the important thing is we should always try one more time.
Its not very high budget drama, the visuals are just ok not bad but not the best. The story is also kind of weird like student hitting on teacher. But i mainly watched it for my boy dan cause i just love his visuals. And for sure he served. His cold attitude was so good and his acting was also good.
Overall the struggles of boy band in the drama was highlighted but they did it well alot of times.

Very good plot and explainable storyline
It was very good throughout the drama i really enjoyed everything. Story was good. I skip like 4, 5 scenes. The actors was good it show emotions right but i didn't like the ending unless there is another season I am not fully satisfied with the ending. I have wanted more since it lost its main theme in the very last episode. I like how they do not turned friends into enemy at last moment as i have seen in some dramas and i was hell sure that they are going to do that but thank god they didn't but then it was unfair for the main leads so it make me regret at end however everything was making sense so i just accept the ending. They explained everything in the movie so you would not like when did that happened and how the happened. Give it a watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Even so, you should live!
Trust me it is such a beautiful drama. The bad thing is, it is way too heavy to watch. It straight up pull strings of your heart with all the harsh realities of the world.It will make you realise that the world is not bad beacuse of "today". It does also makes us realise that "those who commit suicide are the ones who wanted to live so badly".
The fact that this drama doesn't have any actual villains but it was just the society and the trails we have to go through just to live. It was also very true that the "pain is the essence of life" we should live beacuse the weather is nice today.
It leaves a deep scar into us during each episode but will also give us hope that those who done wrong are the ones that will for sure suffer in one way or the other. I also trust this reality. South Korea and anyone who wants to give up on his life should have a strong belief in destiny and karma. Trust the universe and it will answer your prayers.
Suicide is never the option its just a escape from today but not forever. So please don't give up on your loved one's. Dont leave them just beacuse you have it hard.
It also highlights the fact that it is so difficult to control your own emotions sometimes. It highlights the hypocrisy of a human rage, resentment and anger that he is willing to kill, sacrifice or die just for his pride and ego.
All the grim reapers in the drama was in punishment because they let their rage consume them and regretted it for an eternity.
Best drama

A spirit who settles grudges
Ahhh this is the best drama trust me. If you have watched goblin, death game or tomorrow. You sure are going to love it. For me it was very good. It has fun elements it was so so emotional like u really have to cry in every episode, laugh like crazy in every episode too. It was a mix of bitter sweet. The stories were so good.The fact that they presented social issues in the series were so good. The relationship with parents were also so good.
Its so funny because yook song was just suffering in this drama and was neglected in goblin too. But his character was so kind humble and patient in the whole series.

"Human don't realize what an opportunity is unless u take them from you."
This show is incredible. 1st of all why so much handsome cast like i would absolutely die if the villains were that hot. Damn that psychopath ceo and that extremely handsome artist. Ufffff......Jokes aside, the drama is so so so so versatile like it shows so many angles surrounding suicide and I saw alot of people saying they are only showing that we should not commit suicide just beacuse of others. But but but if we watch closely we will be able to understand that they basically covered all the issues regarding suicide which let me tell you
1. The death shows him so many different ways on how he can save his financial life by sending him in different bodies.
All his life he was just trying to pass 1 type of interview but his skills in different lifes shows how capable he actually was. Like when he was a detective or even a gangster. He managed to get not only money but fame too.
2. Death even provide him with alot of money but even the money can't helped him but put him in some more horrible conditions. So it is very true that only money can't buy happiness.
3. Death made him realise how much he was loved and how much he has taken it to granted. How ungrateful he was like only having money problem doesn't give you a reason to end things when you have such supportive, loving, and caring people in your life.
4. Death made him realise that how much 1 suicide can effect the course of life of so many people like the incident that made him to fail his 1st interview. 1 suicide made ML into a loser and the villain into a killer.
5. Death also made him realise how incredibly self-centred he was like he was ok to make her gf regret her life by committing suicide but he himself was not ok when her gf died and become so angry that he almost wasted 4 lifes just to take revenge. Its ok if you die but its not ok when u have to go through.
6. Finally death made him believe that if he can win a death game cant he also win in life? come on.
7. All 12 people he has to live the lives of has it more difficult in one way or other all were dying innocent deaths which they never wished for but here, he has given a life but he wanted to give up without even trying? why? Just beacuse he doesn't have a good job?
Death made him realise that in his mind he was claiming that he is living the worse life but in actual he wasn't even close to what all the other 12 lifes were going through.
I know being a human we all at one point of our life think of suicide but we never actually commit it beacuse we all think about all the possible outcomes of our actions. We should live not beacuse someone else loves us but beacuse we have the possibilities to love ourselves. If our society, education, culture, religion, family or traditions failed us why should we give up on our self? Why should we as a victim punish ourselves.
I requests to all the people reading this please love yourself not for anyone else but for yourself. U have all the options but you just have to figure it out. It will all make sense in the end.
And yes I want a season 2 like come on all these crazy people I want to see them again and also now we have to see how that motherfucker is going to do to save his gf and other peoples lol. I also need an other excuse to see that sexy psycho CEO and daddy artist killer. Damn..........
Death is so cruel for making killer so handsome?
