Heart !
when you get to watch the drama you will definitely know why I chose that word as the headline. before starting to actually review the drama, I would like to say that* YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER LISTEN TO THE HATE COMMENTS AND LOW RANKING VOTES THAT PEOPLE POST ABOUT A DRAMA! I saw many hate comments on this drama but when I started watching it I was 100% drown to it that I finished it in two days !!!
* to whoever say that the plots are predictable and all, you guys should distinguish between an interesting plot and a boring predictable one!!! LFY's plots were very interesting for me and even tho some are predictable it doesn't lessen their value !!
with you the help of the acting of the actors you will enjoy every scene and every emotion will be felt deeply!!!
I salute all the actors for their hardwork and the way they made LFY a great drama to enjoy ❤️

WHAT A MOVIIEEEE !!! ?
Okay, to start with ! This is my first ever cinematic work that I have watched for Zhong Hanliang or (Wallace chung ) and OH MY GOD HOW FREAKING TALENTED HE IS ? I mean I can't even describe how he nailed his role in Tik Tok and how he made me believe every single action he did !!* Overall the movie is about a korean detective that has to go after a Chinese crazy man who suffers from alot of mental diseases but happens to be a terrorist as well. With a weird terrorist act as to blow up a whole stadium with 50K people if China's team loses. As he is a mentally unstable he has a psychiatrist Chinese doctor that treats him and here starts the movie ; after the doctor -with her professional way- made sure that he is the terrorist, she joined hands with the detective whom is Lee Jungjae or -Detective Jiang- to stop him from exploding the stadium.
The movie will take you on a 1:30 hour of how they are running here and there to find the bombs and protect the people and slowly uncovers the psychopathic personality of Guo zhida and how he isn't actually retarded nor stupid but a mad genius! Everything was reasonable until that supposed to be the lunatic decided to let the doctor go safely after he kidnapped her and die instead.
That's when the movie take a 180° change and THE REAL SHIT GETS UNCOVERED !
Oh god that OLD mfcking BROTHER ! Keep him in mind because he will just blow your mind. The ending was ? but WOOOOOW at the same time like to the very last second I was left like literally: WOW . W.O.W BUT WTF.
* Wallace chung acting was TOOOOOOOOOP, what actually made me wanna watch one of his works is HIM in SDC3, he is a whole book in that program that needs to be read carefully because of the way he controls his actions and facial expressions and how quickly he can change from mood to mood -specially in that small play that they made him do- HE IS JUST WOW ?.
So, as I said before it's my first time watching him on screen and I immediately felt for his acting skills and capacities he clearly delivered every single emotion and action both GUOs had ! The perfect actor for the perfect roles !
* Lee jungjae whom I personally knew in Squid game but started watching his works afterwards never fails to amaze me, he was born for detective/strong roles like those ? Detective jiang and his personality and kind heart but also smart mind was for no one but Jungjae, he really did a good job ?✨✨
* I am really surprised as how the rate for this movie is kinda low it really deserves at least 8 !
Not comparing the production and filming stuffs of 2016 to nowadays, but looking back at that time it was a perfect movie from storyline to filming !!!!
It truly deserves 9/10 at least ✨

A ONE OF A KIND DRAMA
Okay to start with this drama is totally one of a kind and rare to find drama. From the storyline to the acting to the OSTs....For the people who doesn't want to watch BL but still enjoy some Bromance this is totally the right kind of series.
And for the people who like mistery, dark and full of actions series this is the right one as well.
At first I thought like " 50 episodes??? That's so long oh my god I don't think I'll finish it " and now I just wish it gets more episodes and it will never end because everything about is so perfect ???
The story itself makes you wish you were born in that period of life, all the characters are good to love - even the evil ones - except Wen Ruhao and Jin ?? that MFer tricked me I'd kill him ?
I am trying so hard to not include spoilers in here so Imma just talk about the actors :
Even if I read the novel before finishing the drama I can't see anyone doing Wei WUXIAN except Xiao Zhao he pulled the character perfectly in every way possible. Wang Yibo also portraied Lang Wanji the way it should be done his facial expressions and the way of talking made it a 100% win.
The other actors as well did a very great job I am going to watch their other dramas too.
* One funny thing:
IF YOU WON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH WANG HAO XUAN ( XUE YANG ) YOU GOTTA RE WATCH THE SERIE .
I am really really really really really head over heels for him. He isn't a lead but definitely the best support role among them all!!
Talking about Wang Haoxuan before Xue yang: he really did a very great job in pulling the best out of the character , his expressions, the way of talking and acting made me fall for Xue yang even thought he is the villain ❤️
I would like to see wang Haoxuan in a lead role with a very good storyline because he will rock for sure !!!!
Finally, I don't usually score a drama with 10 , but absolutely this one deserves it and it even deserves more! I hope we'll get the untamed crew in an other work together ??

Not me is level god series ?✨✨
#NotMe #NotYou #ButEveryone ❤️⚠️ Important note : I wished that not me didn't end ? which I rarely feel towards a serie. ⚠️
First of all I am so stunned and amazed with this story and the way GMMTV never fails to boost my expectations ?
I am so proud of my GMM boys for their acting skills and the way they make you feel like you are one of the characters in the series! All thanks to the screen-writer, directors and producers for giving birth to this AMAZING serie. ??
As you can see my ratings are all 10/10 and if I could give it a 10000000/10 I would, along with all the awards in the industry out there because it deserves it and more ✨
?️ All along the series you will feel a sensation of " I do belong there ! " " I want to be one of them " etc etc
?️ Starting with the actors and the way they skillfully delivered every single emotion & action in the serie is what makes me proud of how talented my GMM boys are ?
Specially GUN a big shout out to this talented young man !!! Doing double role is really a very difficult job to do ! But he nailed it effortlessly !!!!! I adored every single scene he showed at specially the twins ' ones, that at a certain moment I really was like " maybe he has a twin brother irl and he is actually acting with him ! "
A big big BIG applaud to GUN for real ????❤️
?️ It was nice to see baby Tumical in such a genre as well , he nailed his role perfectly ? the way he can make you smile, cry, laugh, angry along with him is unbelievable ??
?️ I really like all GMMTV's dramas ( as I am GMMtist since I first started watching thai dramas) but NOT ME IS JUST LEVEL GOD DRAMA ✨ the story is beyond beyond beyond perfect, the problems it touched and the way it showed the solutions and motivation is really so good , the way they delivered it as well is something magical ???
Whenever I say this is the best drama GMM has produced they be like " Nah baby just wait and see " ✨
?️ THE OSTs OH MY GOD THE OSTs, every single OST/song that has been played in this series takes you above the clouds with every single beat and word you feel like flying up in the sky from the opening song to the last song played. I have never watched a serie with such a perfect choice of songs, they know exactly what they are doing and which song to play during the scene to make you even more immersed in it !!!! The choice of the OSTs is really what made the serie even more perfect ??❤️❤️❤️
?️ Last but not least, how i wished for more episodes because 14eps are really not enough, wishing for season 2 and 3 and 4 for such a perfect work to have just one season is really painful ?❤️❤️
?️ We got sick of the lovely dovey series that become copy paste ! This genre is what we need ! Series like Not me is the real work of art ??❤️
Wishing for more series like this ????️

The storyline is one of a kind
I like this kind of series and the storyline is really so unbelievably mind-blowing with its plot-twists !!! The actions made me want to finish the serie as soon as possible and till the very end everything was so cool ( which made me eager for a second season) !!! Don't leave us hanging please ?The actors did a great job as well, they delivered the characters as they should be. I felt sad for baby Perth but he is a great actor too! I liked the way he made me get attached to Krit.
Some parts made feel like O.O oh my god how am I supposed to UNDERSTAND that !!! But then everything gets more exciting !
Once more, we need a season 2 please it can't stop right there !!!! Wishing for season 2 soon ?

Bussababan are the villains
This drama is one of the most fucked up dramas that I have ever watched, but it gets you hooked nonethless. The number one reason that kept me watching it is GUN. This dude needs an oscar award for the characheters he does and his acting skills for real!!! He made me live every single pain with him, the way I cried with him and felt his pain deep down my heart....getting to the story of the drama, it's a childish -for me- revenge story between two whores literally! whores for money fame and power that they ruined alot of generations with their deeds and eagerness... The real devils for me are the two grandmothers that ruined their daughters lives and also their grandchildren's lives as well!!!
One manipulating her daughter to be her puppet and making her focus on the revenge and for that she neglected her children and treated them in every wrong way possible, and she also di herself wrong by doing alot of shitty things that a sane person can't do !
while the other pusehd her daughter in every dirty way possible just she could bring her money and let her live up to her rivals level of wealth.... they scruied alot of lives and they didn't give up till the end !!!!
Let me talk about Klin and Tawan because for me they are the real devils: starting from Klin and the way she killed a baby to the way she ruined her daughter and granchildren's life, she can do anything just to not lose the wealth she is living at. and Tawan: oh my god this woman is crazy in every way possible!! from having a relationship with a man who is as old as her daughter to fucking up her young children lives.... The main thing I will and no one should ever forgive her about is the way she treated Non!!! The boy was so ruined and she didn't even noticed that! like hello, it's your OWN child !!!!! not denying the fact that is the reason of his mental illness, it took her his suicide to finally realise what she put him throught all of those years!!!! and yet, she is still a trash. Ep 14 was a painful episode for me personally I couldn't hold my tears the way Non has been hurt and couldn't take it anymore, the way he acted and the way they treated him..... The only character that deserves the love and a big hug is P'chor for taking care and loving Non and being his safe zone in that shitty house.
Honestly speaking, the 17 episodes in one hand and the 18th in an other hand!!! the actions were finely rushed and the ending kept me in shock; the main victim in all of this had to die to end all of this shit... Orn didn't deserve that ending to be honest! I believe if she had an other mother she wouldn't be the one she grew up to be, her mother screwed her alot!
as I said before, the real villains are the grandmothers; they both deserved to die.
A big shout out to Warut, because he was the one who entertained me all along the drama hahaha!!
talking about acting, as usual I am so proud of Baby Krist and Gun <3

DO NOT trust the other reviews for real!
To be honest, I was afraid to watch the series after reading some reviews in here, it took me alot of time and courage to finally watch it and honestly? I DON'T REGRET AT ALL !!!The drama is really beautiful and up to expectations! The story is catching and like with every two episodes there is something new and something more exciting than the beginning! The acting was good as well the boys really did great job each one of them delivered his character as it should be!
The seniors are great actors/actresses as well!
(Especially Teacher Jin ??❤️)
So, talking about the series, I would like to say that every plot twist is stronger than the one preceding it ! Especially towards the end !! Like I really didn't think about the last plot
twist, never in a million universes !!!!
I as an action/ thriller hardcore fan and with the mind of money could only figure out two out at least 10 plot twists in this series for real ??
Lastly, I would like to advise anyone who is going to watch this series TO NOT READ THE OTHER REVIEWS BECAUSE I SWEAR TO GOD THEY BE JUST PLAYING WITH YOUR MIND! The series is beautiful, the actions aren't boring! The plot twists are exciting and the acting will catch you! It has been ages since I watch a highschool drama and that gave me nostalgia to my highschool era ? except the fact that I didn't have a love story back then xdddd
Okay the love stories.... I honestly find them useless but that's my personal point of view because I am anti-romantic so that explains ??♀️
Blacklist is worth watching ✨

A drama that make you fall in and out of love with Mountain Jirisan
First of all I would like to scream how perfect and talented my baby Jihoon is ✨ (along with the other actors ), I honestly started watching the drama because of him, Oh Jungse and Mr. Sung dongil - as I don't really like TVN's thriller productions, but lately it leveled up the game and I started liking the works it does - but to my surprise ever since the first episode the story has got my attention and I finished the drama in two days no joke ✨✨The story line isn't our typical thriller storyline, instead it shows the real life of the Rangers up there, their work life, love life, family life etc etc
Every single actor delivered their character perfectly that it made me believe they were what they are ✨✨
As a light romance drama fan I liked the cute romance stories that happened here and there in the drama, and every duo is unique ?
Let's talk about Oh Jungse because he is one of my favorite support lead actors of all the time, he really really really deserves all the success because he is a very good actor ! The way he portraited the feelings and emotions of his character is unbelievably skillful!!! I cried, smiled laughed even before he did ! His story was one of the sweetest yet realistic stories I have ever seen in dramas.
Coming back to the main story, The way this drama made me fall in love with Mountain Jirisan is wow, all thanks to the direction and editing team! They made sure Jirisan looks as beautiful as it is! But they also showed that mama nature is as scary as it is beautiful! Caps down for all the real rangers that are facing this dangerous job to save people and make their journey on Jirisan or any other mountain safe and enjoyable for them.
The actions of the drama are never boring, it will keep you wanting for more - I wished it was more than 16eps- the last two episodes made me an emotional wrecked ball but it deserves all the tears and smiles and laughters❤️
Thanks for the actors, directors and everyone who made Jirisan ✨❤️❤️

We need more dramas like that , we need to see Idiot unit crim V2 together again
Okay, to start with this drama is topping my favorite dramas list and my infinity rewatch drama list. Everything about is perfectly done it's so rare for me to find such a drama nowadays.... Starting with the storyline :It's so well written and produced, you will find literally every single lesson you should learn through your life.
* Friendship? Check.
* Perseverance? Check.
* Teamwork? Check.
* Loyalty? Check.
* Betrayal? Check.
* Suffering? Check.
* Sincerity? Check.
* Funny scenes? Cheeeeeeeeeeck.
* Mystery? Check.
* Plot twist ? Check.
* Unfairty? Check.
* Kindness? Check.
You will find everything in this drama. The actors mastered their roles like pros and specially team idiot crime unit V2 ?? what made the drama so funny and beautiful to watch is their teamwork and their love to each other ! It shows how a real work should be done, because after all you are spending years with the same people that they become your second family. This drama also made me learn that no matter what the truth is , it should be said in a way or an other, it will also be shown in a way or an other.
Evil has no way to dominate this life, it will eventually come to an end .
Kang Do Chang + Oh Ji hyuk are the type of the realistic due and their closeness is the best ❤️
At the end, I would like to thank every single person who worked on this drama , I loved them all equally even the evil characters hahaha.
I would like if The good detective becomes a series instead of a drama and we'll ged season of it because honestly I can't get enough of it ? they made me live in the drama I didn't feel that I was watching I felt like I was there beside them!
Finally, I wish for many more dramas where those actors are all together.

A rollercoaster
Bloodhounds has been a rollercoaster for me, All of my drama careers I have never ever came across such a drama that gave me a rollercoaster of emotions and thoughts!!!I should definitely start from the main main actor which is Geon-woo (Woo Dohwan) I have never seen such a pure soul as he is! Despite all the bad things he went through and the hardships he faced, he did never lose his positive and kind spirit!! (A soul that we fight every day to keep and achieve ❤️) up to the very last minute he believed, fought and succeeded ?
I am sure it would have been even harder to him if he didn't have a supportive and true friend like Woo-jin (Lee Sangyi) I like how silly yet mature this character is! The actor really give it his best and I can't see anyone doing the role except him ?
The story itself is so strong and kept me on edge the whole drama long! There are some twists and actions that kept me dumbfounded and surprised to the instinct I doubted everything till the very last end...
A shout out to the ahjusshis who gave the half part of bloodhounds a beautiful story and acting ?
Despite what they did to me in episode 6 and 8 this drama is definitely a 10/10 in every way possible. ❤️

If you see that S1 is better than S2 you don't know how to watch revenge/action dramas
okay, to start with, I have seen many people comparing the Season 1 and Season 2 together which is very wrong in many ways:1) " Taxi Driver" is going in a series path that can have at least 5 to 6 seasons! you can't compare each season with the one before it! it should be a continuation of the main point of the drama which is "taking revenge for different people".
2) the term "revenge" and taking revenge companies in Kdrama or any drama world, mainly consist of several situations that the writer and actors make us live it with them and solve it with them! it's naturally to have a lot of cases that are related or not related to each other in the series! which is what Season 2 served us instead of season 1!
3) here comes my most important point of view: season 2 was perfectly developed, written and done. on the contrary of season 1 which only gave us two revenge stories and the rest of the episodes got a little bit boring up to the last few episodes that got a little bit exciting again.
Season 2 got that exciting stories that keeps you attached to your seat and got your eyes glued to the screen waiting to what is going to happen next! that is the excitement that should be present in a revenge/action drama and season 2 served is it just perfectly! I enjoyed the return of "Madam Lim" in this season hahahaha "Wang Tao Tzi" did her so much wrong hahahaha.
I rarely give a 10/10 to dramas but "TAXI DRIVER 2" is definitely one of those rare dramas that got me living inside of it literally and forgetting about the world around me. it's one of dramas that I wished it lasted longer than just 16 episodes, they are really not enough.....
I would not say anything about S2 because every single moment of it is exciting and stressing that I would be spoiling it to you xd
* Actors and Acting skills * :
I came to watch Taxi driver in general for it's genre (as I am a hardcore fan and expert of the action/thriller dramas) I have watched some of the works of the main leads such as Kim Euisung, Jang Hyukjin and Bae Yooram, but the surprise of the series was no one but LEE JEHOON for me !!!!
I haven't watched any of the actor's works before as it seems he only do the romance/drama series; but finally he did "Taxi Driver" so I can discover such a very talented man! He is an ace Thespian! he did more than 10characthers in one drama, and he nailed each one of them!!! I am so in love with his facial expressions and very talented acting skills! wishing he would make more and more action dramas/movies <3
all the other actors did a very great job as well! I am mostly in love with Bae Yooram character (AKA MR.PARK) <3 <3 the taking revenge/working together squads are my favorite and Rainbow squad has become my top favorite action squad <3
finally, I would say that no matter how much I talk about this drama I can't express how perfect and great it is! that I could watch it over and over again! simply put it's A MASTERPIECE in the action/thriller drama world. <3
