To be honest, I am not fond of watching historical drama and was little skeptical to watch but just because of SHIN HAE SUN couldn't stop myself. It's a package of romance,comedy,thriller,food specially this became better with everyone's great acting. Even it's set design is amazing.

I watched it when it was ongoing so that made me realize that I was eagerly waiting for another episode every week. I really love the chemistry of lead actors to the point that I really want them in another drama. That would be treat to watch. The surprising elements were supporting cast that stole the show especially Court Lady Choi whenever she was there in the screen that made me chuckle. And definitely, the OST were quite different from other Korean dramas.
Overall it is a must watch drama at least once and further, it makes us crave more

Wasted my 2 hours. More than horror it's comedy because of worst CGI and poor acting.

I thought it was similar to The visit movie then it had grudge thing.
This movie is all about NOBODY CARES ABOUT ANYTHING.
1. The sister was not worried at all about her videos getting leaked that doesn't happen in real world.
2. No one cared about brother's health throughout the movie.
3. No one went to search for missing cat but definitely they were worrying about it. (That makes no sense)
4. The children didn't even visit their sick mother in the hospital.
5. The pervert guy didn't even came looking for his lost phone and never appeared again in the movie again.
6. The grandparents were that easily forgiven or what was that?? They could have easily reveal the truth about their daughter being the killer but no that bad twist needs to be revealed at the end. For thrill, I guess.

Unpopular opinion: Overhyped (great start,poor ending)

When life becomes a game, brings out the scariest ride of life. This has a fascinating story line not new but still it's captivating games relating to childhood is really interesting.

Good points :The starting is really great showing people economic condition so that we feel bad for them and showing pity to have us emotionally bonded, that's great. It's didn't look forced

The production design is great. The cinematography and ambience created is spot on for me. The actors all stood out in their characters specially grandfather character, cop and that wild girl haha.

Twist: The participants can choose to quit and participate again if they want was kind of surprising totally not expected.

Bad points: See this is not a new story line where character participate in game and dies when they cannot complete task.
Like #CUBE and #ESCAPE ROOM they have done before. So ,it was kind of similar nothing really unexpected happen.

The ending, it sucks. The last episode was boring felt disconnected from other episodes. Of course , a setup for next season but really do we need it?

Definitely, there are loop holes if thought carefully like how that grandfather character can be in two places at the time of VIP thing and no one notice a contestant being missed?

But, at the end of the day, this show shouldn't be missed.

Too much of cliché with butterflies in stomach at times

O f course watched for pairing of Lee dong wook and Yoo in na. They have best chemistry and both look great together,
Strong points: Definitely, the chemistry shines not only of main cast but also of supporting actors. Moreover, I was more anxious about their love life than main actors.
All the supporting actors are great especially all comedy scenes were hilarious that lights up the whole drama content. Oh Jung-se is such a versatile actor so special mention was necessary.
Cute sweet moments specially showing affection to each other of main leads were quite heart fluttering.

Weak points: The main story is very poor, Though it is about law firm, the cases shown were very less. That makes it boring to watch. The same old troops of romance could not save to make it enjoyable.

The pacing is slow, After 10 episodes, nothing much happens to make it interesting. It really feels stretched out. The antagonist also shows up so late even didn't has much tot do.

Story doesn't justify the great pairing and even supporting actors good performance not worth watching for me.

Surprise package

When comes to time travelling thing, it can be a mess. But this one is not thankfully. It has a strong story base that revolving around burning photographs that kind of make sense for presenting a new way of time travelling.

Definitely the story and direction is that makes it interesting. Detailing shown is quite impressive as well.

Even acting of lead actor was noticeable (he is very cute too )and antagonist but sadly for me same couldn't be said about main actress. She kind of overdid it specially at being happy-happy moments kind of childish. Other characters had poor acting that can be noticed easily.

The ending is abrupt. How she didn't return to the future is still a question? I hope the answer is not because of her true love she stayed and even studied high school again for second time. That means she could be topper as she has brain from future.

Overall definitely enjoyable and at times need to scratch brain.

Season changes so does character's emotion

✅ Cinematograpy
✅ Good acting
✅ OST
✅ Writing
✅ Impactful story
✅ Great direction
✅ Realistic
✅ Entertaining

What else do we need?
Still this drama won't be everyone's cup of tea as it may seem as a simple story with complicated narrative along with stupid misunderstanding but this is what actually happens in real life. It's character and emotion of the people after all complicated to understand especially of your loved ones at times.

Still my favorite episode would definitely will be 8th episode
P.S Loved Choi woo shik

Zombie genre overdone: Long and Boring

After watching trailer, I thought it was going to be an entertaining and different as it involves school but it had the same troops like other zombie movies.
Good points:
1. The production value is great. The scene where the students burst out of the windows while the girl was trying to commit suicide was highlight shot . Even during bomb blast thing, the zombies gathering was amazing.
2. The acting of all the actors were quite on point specially antagonist did a great job.

Bad points:
1. Why was it 12 episodes? It just dragged the whole show with unnecessary things added. The editing is to be blamed.
2. How can students turn into superman while fighting and even old firefighter father can do that kind flips? Moreover, the small baby survived without milk for that many days. Even the students had that much of energy without eating or drinking for days. That's so unrealistic.
3. There are countless number of stupid decisions that restricted from building up any emotion towards any of the character.
4. The emotion of friendship between teenagers looked so force from the beginning like On-Jo didn't even called out or searched for her best friend at the very beginning of zombie attack at cafeteria even after they got out of the vulnerable situation but she suddenly feels bad for her at the time when she was converting into zombie. Don't get that thing??
5. The sound track other than the theme song, is so bad. How can you play comic sound track in those intense scenes? And want us to feel the pain of the characters while being chased by zombies.

Disappointing!!

Tried to imitate HUSH and SHINING but totally failed

It was one of the anticipated movie in my watch list but it's just such a mess.
It just left me questioning the whole situation.
1. Why are deaf people walking at 10 pm alone in the streets ? Isn't it dangerous?
2. The mother could have just made a noise or hinted out the things in his bag and it would have been done and dusted but no
she cannot even do that in a POLICE STATION.
3. There are literally no police officers in police station so anybody can fight over there. Even when mother and her deaf daughter inform them then they are not even reacting to that?? What king of police officers are they?
4. Do you want to be alone at home when you know that murderer is trying to kill you? She could have gone with her mother.
And the most stupid thing at that dangerous situation is to forget to lock the door. Seriously?
5. She can't really sense a person behind her really, you want us to buy that?
6. The brother character could have easily made a phone call to police while searching for his sister but no just leaves the deaf girl.
7. Most stupid thing is SHE IS SCARED AND BLEEDING. No matter what at least even one person would be suspicious of her condition and try to help her. Though this movie wanted to potray the way we treat handicapped people but this is far too fetched. Even army people just present her to him.
8. Lastly, when deaf girl was saying she wants to live more in sign language. Do you think serial killer will whole heartly understand that? As a viewer if there were not subtitles then couldn't have understood anything so how can he.

One positive I found is Wi Ha-joon's ( serial killer) acting other than nothing is good. Just wasted my time.

Missed the mark

I actually really like short interesting dramas and was looking forward to watch this. This drama did have a unique concept(food,wishes). The first few episodes were actually good.
The vibe was creepy and every episode focusing on different people life was gripping as well. But, at the same time character development was lacking, most of characters existence is meaningless.

Song Ji-hyo did potrayed a witch character pretty good other that that other actors didn't stand out at all.

It would have been a memorable short unique drama if there were more content showing other people stories more and their wishes. Every thing happen so quickly at the end episodes which was quite disapointing . The ending was so abrupt that made this drama exposed it's plot holes. Overall, definitely a one time watch for it's unique storyline.

Heart warming. Fun and Realistic

Just love the cells. I thought it would be similar to INSIDE OUT but it was nothing like that. It was way joyful than I expected laughed a lot as well. All the animation part was so fun to watch even have a biased cell, the chore cell haha. The story is simple but charm of all actors make viewers crave more.

Kim Go-eun acting seems perfect for the role but most surprising was Ahn Bo-hyun as main leading actor. His character from
Itaewon class and this is totally different and both looks promising. At the end, the cameo roles of Jinyoung and Choi min ho were icing on cake totally worthed.

I think the chemistry stands out the most and the fact that everyone' s thinking towards the same situation is different as individuals way of foreseeing things are varied. But ending seemed abrupt and things ended quickly for their relationship without showing more of reasons for breakup so that cannot be unseen but definitely every kdrama lover should watch this one.

This can give u a headache in a good way

I love the movie version and was surprised that it was based on true story . I thought they will put the same thing in the drama too but wohh! they changed so many things so cleverly and made it better than the movie. Every episode was so intense that I could feel the heat of that situation in my body too.(lol)

Everyone's acting was on point specially Bank. Even background score was catchy. Definitely keeps u in edge of the seat and thoroughly enjoyed the twists it gave. This is my first time watching Thai drama and didn't disapointed me at all.

I really hope there will be second season looking forward to it eagerly.

It's too too too complicated

No one can understand Ahn Su Young not even she can understand her own feeling. She is the most complicated character in kdrama, I guess ?.

And how does Han Sang Soo finds Ahn Su Young everytime? Does he has tracker on her??

The first 8 episodes are quite interesting as storyline is quite different from the other dramas that I have watched but Awfully stretched out at the end ? At the beginning showing realistic characters and their emotions was nice. I really like the chemistry of Moon ga young and Yoo yeon seok. Moon ga young is so different from True beauty which is impressive . Yoo yeon seok is becoming one of my favourite.

From Lust to Love

This drama is not for everyone as a lot of people seek for love in dramas but this started with lust . It starts with sexual tension that slowly turns into obsession towards each other then wanting to be together.This does depict the situation where people really cannot show their true feelings to other people.

It's a slow burn with some artistic and visually rich both in atmospheric and appearance of all actors. All the songs provide a perfect ambience for all kinds of situation shown. "LOVE ME LIKE THAT" is my favorite.

I love the fact that Yu-Nabi made the fact clear "HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS". People cannot force their feelings knowing the fact that other person can make you happy but you wouldn't be able to feel that happiness no matter how much we try. Moreover, Park Jae-on does bring the best out of Yu-Nabi that is most important in any relationship.

What more stands out is supporting cast. Oh bit-na character is something that made me watch this drama more. After watching this I am happy that I didn't miss beautiful and confident female actresses that backed each other directly and at times indirectly.

Already done, Long and so Predictable but still heart aches a little

First of all , stalking a girl because you like her troops in a romantic way should be stopped. It's not romantic at all and even playing a romantic background music to justify the act is totally not acceptable at all. If antagonist has done that then they would have put on villainize music.

It was so predictable that main guy would die in the end as he was hitting bottles in his head and all those fighting just to emotionally blackmail us. They also stretched the story line where 15 min could have been easily cut off.

The main actress acting is kind of dull but actor looks convincing in that character. Even most of the things looked staged but still somewhere heart aches a little.

Simple and sweet

Having 4 episodes, it seemed like a fun and sweet but turned out to be quite boring. I think first two episodes are good but after that it drags completely. The relationship between couples is kind of confusing. All the actors acting was kind of poor.

Bad points: Main question is why lead actress always needs to be shown clumsy, getting into troubles easily and falling here and there. Then her knight in shining armour comes to help her. It's so pathetic and annoying. The main actress was also kind of annoying at times for me.

Moreover , the possessiveness shown is just off. Common just to show that it required love triangle. The guide character falls in love just seeing her playing in the beach.

Good points: Like the fact that the story tried to trick that old couple are breaking up because of husband cheating on her wife but reasons were kind of unexpected.

The best thing is it's cinematography. It's beautiful. Apart from Jeju island shots even the main female character terrace was pretty.
