I wanted to like this... I really did. But... I didn't. I see the potential for it but the delivery was just a bit to flat for me.All through the show, short or not, I felt zero connections with the characters. I feel like it started in the middle of a story and then bounced around trying to make it all make sense.... only making it worse.
The ending was sad and I give it that, but I just.... I don't know. I wish you could add photos to reviews because I lack words right now. I feel like I'm more of a series of memes of confused, annoyed, and who knows what else. Lol
I kinda do wish this could get a remake with a longer story explaining some things. Especially the relationships situations. More so, that one relationship that came up out of the blue for no reason at all. Unless there was one and I missed it.
I kinda wanted to rate this lower. :|

Be warned, this is how I feel, I know not everyone will feel the same. To each their own. +foul languageBut fuck this whole season. I for one should have actually read who the couple would be. That was my mistake. I can not stand Mean. Don't like him, don't like his character. Usually I try to separate the actor from the character but *HELL NO*. Not this time. Through this whole show I just kept seeing what he did to Earth and all the disgusting remakes he had made and it made me sick.
I didn't understand this season at all - the time line was extremely fucked up and things have happened that were never clarified like oh suddenly Pete is gone? Why? "To help Ae." --- what in the hell of WHY?! I stuck around trying to find out the reason and of course I stuck around to support Earth (even if his parts were small. I would watch anything for this cinnamon roll).
I don't understand why they suddenly tossed in new relationships and new people... What was the reason?! It's the last season (that we know of), so make that make sense to us!!
And can we talk about all the S/A that happened in this season? And the fact that people were just okay with it happening? What the actual fuckery? Like when what's-his-face took advantage of Techno while he was drunk and then said HE came on to him and all that shit. Continued to chance after Techno, suddenly spill the beans later and oops now they're a couple. Wtf?
And Tul's wife and kid?? This made me want to scream at the screen. So you cheated on your boyfriend...? I just... what the hell.
This show y'all.... it is a gotdamn MESS! and the ending doesn't make it any better. Ae been pining this WHOLE damn time like to the point it is unhealthy af, then at the end we get a "I'm back". Bro, you said what now? That's it? That's the end scene? You shitting me right now?
There was lkjglkfeughlieruhbeirugv What was there to like? Nothing. Okay I take that back.. Earth. Earth was to like, to love, to adore. I'm biased and I' fine with that. Lol
All in all though... It shouldn't have even been called "season 2" it could have been a special........ Not that that would have made it made any more sense. I really wish I knew what went through their minds that could justify it being this way. and FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS RAINBOW IF YOU MAKE ANOTHER SEASON PLEASE KEEP THE SAME ACTORS!!!! I'm so so so sooooooooo sick of the constant actor changes. X_X It makes me feel like I'm watching a whole ass different series. I said what I said.

It's a weird set up and has so many kinks that really need to be worked out.
What annoyed me most was lack of story. What was there was a promising storyline BUT because the movie seemed to start like we were supposed to already know everyone and the plot seemed to be in the middle or better yet, a whole second movie, I had to keep checking to make sure this was even a standalone. I hate when movies do that. It makes me not even want to bother getting to know the characters because I don't get to see them develop.
Yet... there was something about this movie that once it hit the midway mark, despite my annoyances, it got interesting. Still plot holes from hell-- but interesting.
It's a bittersweet ending. I wish it would kinda explain more on that. Like, I can't be mad. But... I have way to many questions than I have answers.
So, no. I didn't hate this movie and enjoyed it a bit, oddly enough. Is it something I would tell my friends they needed to watch? Absolutely not. But will it help you pass the time? Yes. The only time I'll say you should watch this is if you want to feed more into your nine tailed fox addiction. Lol

Can we all just agree that the ending alone made us go "what the fuck?" LolI mean... It wasn't a terrible movie per say but it also wasn't something you'd really want to tell others you watched it. Lol
I'm still tripping balls over the ending. I really and truly didn't see that coming. Like I was sus about the relationship but I really thought he liked Ritsu. Holy hell was I wrong. Lol Dude though... how... how you gonna hide that? them flowers won't last forever.. I mean, I guess they will because you can tell they're fake but movie logic says they'll eventually rot..
Ya know... props to the writer. No, really. I didn't expect that and in normal cases I would be upset, I guess. Maybe sad even. But it took me by such surprise that I have no emotions except "welp. didn't see that coming"
I know I keep going on about the ending but if you've seen it, you know what I mean. LOL! Other than that even with the movie being choppy, it was interesting enough... just barely though. enough where you question if you should shut it off, then something would happen to keep ya going. Lol
The writers really said "this is getting to long and we don't want to do a second movie. Let's just end it here" LOL! I really want to know how the dad will react though... and will anyone tell Ritsu? O_O

It started out really promising but around the middle, it slowly started to drop off and by the end I was kinda just ready for it to be over. It's not that I hated it, it was kinda more along the lines of no surprises, so what's the point I guess? I feel like I was more invested in the side characters more than I was Sun and Sky. Which sucks because they really did make a cute couple. I don't know why as time went on I lost more and more interest in them. And dare I say as time went on they seemed to get more awkward with each other? Or is that just me who gets that vibe?
I know I had major issues for the dad treating Sun more like a pet than anything. It was kinda psycho level "I'm going to adopt you, raise you to protect my son who you'll never meet until I need you too.... oh and I'm also going to collect your blood every 3 months, PS: call me father.. xoxo" That was just... pretty much all there was to it. Lol My thing is, you are so "protect my son protect my son I have to protect my son. You have to protect my son blah blah blah" .... until your son really did need saving and you didn't show up until AFTER the fight was all over. Are you serious? Then had the audacity to say Sun and Sky couldn't be together? What the fuck? Lol
Like it really wasn't mafia vs mafia... it was mafia vs college students and the students fucking won. Lol What's that say about you're "protective father" status?
And why did they need to prove themselves for so long? Why prove it at all, didn't he take a bullet for him? Didn't he stay by his bedside 24/7? I don't get it. Even up til the end I feel like the father still saw Sun as more of "cattle".
I'm glad for the happy ending and all but it still didn't seem to satisfy or justify the long wait. Especially with all they had been through.

But not in the way you probably think.
This movie was gutting. It was "I'm gonna rip your heart out, stomp on it, and throw it in the wood chipper. Mwahahaha"
It was great.... and had no warning that the end would leave you sitting, staring at the now blank screen trying to patch yourself back together mentally.
It's weird though. Because no matter what, I mean.... you KNOW how it's going to end. You know. It's a Slice-of-Life. How can you not know? But that shit still breaks your heart. lol
Everyone's acting was on point, I forgot I was watching a movie most of the time. Gotta love movies and shows that make you feel like you're right there.
But I just can't give it 10, even though I want to. That star is going towards my heart. You broke my heart and I don't ever ever ever EVER want to see Nijiro cry again. I mean, he is a actor, so I know he will.. but I can't handle it. I want to put him in a bubble so nothing hurts him. Lol I'm biased, can you tell? XD

This movie is your pretty basic "bad guy turned good" but the storyline itself was new to me... yet... not. It's weird. Like I feel like I've seen it but I don't think I have. Unless I have but just don't remember so I'm just going to say it's new to me. lol
I actually liked the whole reset day thing. Lol That's how you know you really hate someone... when you try to kill them multiple ways. Haha But other than that, the movie wasn't much.
I honestly thought there was no way in hell I would ever like He Zhi Zhou, and I was right. Because even when they helped him to not be a total dick, he was still a dick. When she said he should compliment her, he insulted her then tried to make it better with backhanded compliments. Are you freaking serious? Ugh. It was at that moment I knew I really would never like his character.
I freaking loved Shen Xi and Dou Dou though. Oh my gah lol that friendship is pure goals. I loved that no matter what, they could rely and bounce off of each other. Lol I loved their characters and story together more than anything else, honestly. Dou Dou is the reason you should always listen to your astrology friends!!! lol XD IYKYK
I hated the ending. It didn't make sense to me. At all. Like I want to lay it all out but I don't want to give the ending away but for real... what the hell was that ending? I feel robbed. It was like they didn't know what to do past a certain point so they just said "do anything, we need a ending". and left it at that.
I wanted to rate this higher because I did still enjoy it, but there was just to much going against it that I couldn't rate it anymore.

For me it was a movie to pass the time, I guess. The love story was cute but There really wasn't much in words of "unique" other than it's probably the first time I've seen a snake demon like that. Lol
I really can't hate on the movie to much but I do with the pace had been better and the back stories had been told on some characters. I don't know why I found it kinda annoying that it was pretty cut and dry "bad guys - bad. Good guys - good" without any reasons as to why? Lol
Glad I got a chance to watch this but wouldn't say I would watch it again.

I want to start off saying this movie wasn't terrible. The storyline is actually hella creepy ... but the pace is what completely killed this movie from being what it should have been. Everything about this movie was so slow that even in the parts it could have scare you..... it didn't. The pace was boring. Even set at a higher speed that made them walk and talk like someone on speed, did absolutely nothing to help the pacing... and that's sad.
This movie went on way longer than it should have imo.
I think the only actor I didn't like was the "big bad ghost" that was in the last house that was actually there from the start. That little battle scene had me laughing so freaking hard. Nakai was blowing the incense smoke on him and all I could see was that meme of the alien with "when the toilet paper shifts mid wipe and you drag your finger through mud valley (MEME: https://img.ifunny.co/images/70b59d7dac109af0195c3b2ff59a2a5f7f57939ed958feab7f77b339d43ee753_1.jpg )
That is honestly what it looked like and I couldn't stop laughing. So I'm sorry, I can't with this movie.
This is one movie I kinda wish would get a remake but.... better. Lol

This movie was extremely slow and the build up wasn't anything worth going nuts for. The only part wprth watching was close to the end when it actually got creepy. But even the end had me annoyed with how slow it was.
Bot mad at the actors, they played their parts get. But the storyline itself was a waste imo.
I wish i could have liked this movie and i see where they say it's like the korean version of the exorcist but eh.
Definitely wasn't worth my time. Lol.

This movie was so awesome even though it was confusing at some parts. I really loved the story line and want to see more (so I'm 99% sure I'm going to watch the drama version lol.)
I loved all of the actors but i can't help but to be confused as to who the goddess was he was so obsessed with. And why Hell Girl and the other 3 were somewhat always around him??
Even with the main girl, she always saw Hell Girl before she even summoned her. So i don't really understand that.
I loved her and Haruka friendship..... at the start. But I never understood why she fought so hard for that friendship when she found out what kind of person she really was. Like come on.... she beats her own mother. Wtf even. -_- she even WANTED to be sacrificed. Why send yourself to hell over someone who doesn't want help?

Started put sooo promising! The build up was phenomenal as well. I loved all the actors and how great they acted but once it started getting close to the end, it just got extremely boring. It had so much promise from the start that had it had the ending it deserved, could have made people sleep with their lights on. But sadly. The ending was weak and not to mention, confusing. I don't understand how this movie could be so great and have a solid clear story.... only for it to end like even THEY didn't know how to end it. I feel like they threw stuff together and called it a ending.
I wish it had ended better.

When I first started watching this show, I was hooked and completely loved the storyline. It was the basic romance drama that I needed at the time.... or so I thought. Because....
What in the toxic ass hell was this? It was amazing show until episode 25. Like even throughout the whole thing, you know Xin Ya is just a complete waste of oxygen. I get all dramas have to have the "bitch" but she seriously takes the cake.
*SPOILER!!!!*
Episode 25 and on from the "if you aren't with me, I'm going to kill myself!" bullshit ruined the whole show for me. I shit you not, I was full ass ready to give this show 10 stars but when that dumb shit happened, it killed EVERYTHING good about the show.
Oh and let's not forget our bullshit happy ending. What even was that?
Okay he could have gone to the states and did music. She could have went to Japan and grew her artwork. But noooooo it was "why would you chose that over me?!" for them both!
Gee, I don't know -- why not go to the states (not even moving btw. Just to do music. a few months to a year max. BooHoo) and go to Japan, DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BREAK UP!!!! Good fucking gah you could have stayed together and actually did something with your lives. But no. You picked a guy who broke up with you to marry someone else for a second. And you picked a girl that made you chose her over your music. They both lost out in the end.
"BuT ThEy HaVe LoVe AnD EaCh OThEr" uh huh until they reach 30 and start resenting each other which ends with divorce and a neglected kid.
I have a burning hate for this show if you haven't noticed. I mean I guess I should have knew I was going to end up hating it when I started questioning and getting pissed when she would never tell him who she was. But let's face it, had he really liked her like his friend did, he would have known it was her just as quickly.
I think the only characters worth a damn in this show was Nan Xi and FangFang.
Which, BTW, not happy FangFang ended up with Yi Yang. Dude is just as toxic as everyone else.
The more I think about this, I really am tempted to rate it lower. It's crazy how those last 5 episodes made a 10 star show really end in 1 star. Only reason I give it 4 was for the early episodes.

Even though this movie was over an hour, it felt like it was over within 15 minutes. Lol that isn't a bad thing though. I love movies that keep me so absorbed in the story that I lose track of time.
I really enjoyed the storyline and how they seemed to take a little bit of everything and put it into the movie. It somehow worked! I don't think I've seen such a combination of things work together so well. I loved the little bits of comedy to. Everything in this was placed so perfectly it was harmony.
I think the only thing that didn't really sit with me were his two friends? I know it gives us the backstory of what happened but -- It didn't make sense to me why they would stay so petty if they had eachother now and were doing fine?? Are they really just that pressed that people love him? I just don't get it. It's like their story did play a large part but kinda fell flat? I feel like we got to know more about her friends and connect more with the story with her friends than his (ex) friends? (if that makes sense. Lol)
But all in all I really did enjoy this. I really don't think I've seen another movie or show quite like this. I mean I know they're out there but not on the same level for me.

....Now I see why they rated so low.
The show... gave me such a headache that even a hour later, still hasn't gone away -- and neither has the confusion.
I had such high hopes for this show. The synopsis, the cover, everything about it just seemed like my kind of thing and it started out promising as hell!
I feel like all the actors did a amazing job, because really, their acting is what kept me going. Everything else was a mess. The storyline has so much potential. Had this been directed better or written better, I feel like this could easily been a hit that everyone would talk about years later.
But sadly, so much was choppy and the time cuts just didn't seem natural, nothing really "flowed". It felt like they were rushing against time to get things done so they took shortcuts -- and it shows.
The storyline itself really was a good one but could use a bit of buffing out to make more sense. Like, I get it. I saw the ending, which I was NOT EXPECTING! but it still left me with more questions than I would like. Lol It felt like a semi-open ending and I hate open endings of any kind.
Hats off to the plot twist. I felt like I was on drugs when that happened. Lol I really thought I had lost my mind. It took me by such surprise. Lol Which I'm glad, not much surprises me anymore, so I did like that. lol
I really hope that if this ever gets redone that they make it a bit cleaner to make more sense.
