That Ending Was So Evil
This drama is one of a few action drama's I come back to and highly recommend to people.This was my first time watching work from Lee Seung-Gi, Bae Suzy and Shin Sung-Rok.
I just love this drama sooo much perfect amount of action, the politics was quick and easy to understand.
The plane scene was so sad, the children being scared, the teachers trying their best to calm them aww that pregnant teacher trying to protect her belly and ends up getting knocked out.
The scene with the family of the victims at the beach was soo emotional the pregnant teachers husband didn't jus lose his wife but also lost his baby all at once, the way he didn't believe Dal Gun until he nearly had a near death experience from Lily.
Lily and Mickey were probably my favourites I love badass women, I know this is bad to say but I want to be like Lily minus the killing bit but I just love her confidence, Mickey is soo underrated yes she was sussy at times but she is soo great and so mysterious but also the actor is just drop dead gorgeous
I didn't see that plot twist wow Edward Park as the enemy the fact he believed Dal Gun at the start only to "kill him" at the end and the reveal of Michael's gf being Mickey.
The ending was such an evil cliffhanger if you are seeing this Mr/Ms Directors
GIVE US SEASON 2
IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS!!!!!!

Idk why I didn't cry?
Holy shit what a drama was in absolute shock and disbelief for 2 daysI was expecting the ending but jesus I didn't think it was going to hit me hard I'm surprised I didn't cry
All the characters were unique but god they were so SUS
There were so many plot twists O MY GOD
I did have to skip half of the political parts as it was difficult to watch and dragged too long but my god for Jisoo first acting role well done
At first I though Jisoo character was going to be a damsel in distress but I'm so glad she started to fight back
I love the character Jang Hanna she is such a badass I'm sad they didn't show more of the past relationship of herself and Kang Moo but I'm happy they are together at the end

The ending was confusing
HOLY SHIT THIS MOVIE THOThe ending I was speechless because I was so confused I was like what?
I'm literally so scared to use my phone right now
Our phone might be this small device that we use in our day to day life but It holds everything our bank details, our information, interests etc but once it goes to the wrong hands you are in so much trouble. All the female lead did was forget her phone on the bus and some creep took it and ruined her life.
I was so anxious all through the movie I kept pausing it, it felt too close to home.
I can literally watch a crime documentary and not feel anything other than saddest for the victims but this movie shit I'm terrified of device repair shops and losing my phone now.
I know people will blame the girl and be like who would forget your phone? Have you ever misplaced your phone? The panic you feel is undescribable.

What an intense drama
Holy shit yessss another epic action drama So. Many. Plot. Twists.I love a good action/adventure drama/movie
It's hard to believe that it's based off a true story well not all bits but still a true story what in the James Bond, who's the fella that had an adventure/almost dying story.
I screamed when I saw Anupam Tripathi and Park Hae-soo from Squid Game.
I love the character development of Kang Ingu from a poor man to taking down a drug dealer.
The pastor pissed me off "god told me to do this, god told me to do that, god told me to put a bullet in that guys fucking head"
This is why I'm not a very religious person, I respect people and their beliefs but when someone quotes the bible constantly to the point that they do something bad or they're known has a awful person I'm sorry but you are such a hypocrite.

Cringy
This drama is so cringyThis is the first drama where I just can't finish it omg it's awful
This drama is a spin off of the Chinese drama from 2017 (which I have not watched) so maybe my opinion doesn't count since I've not watched it but for the korean spin off I'm sorry its awful
The female lead is annoying and cringe I just wanted to slap her, she comes across as a stalker and its not cute
The male lead is so moody and dry
I really liked the 2nd male lead he really tried everything for the lead but she was so stupid and bruh I can't HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE YOU'RE IN A LOVE TRIANGLE!!!!!!
The 2nd female lead had a big crush on one of the teachers and I think he liked her too she was underaged bruh don't romanticize pedophilia

~One of my comfort dramas~
I watched this drama when it was airing and I was absolutely in love with this drama, the plot, soundtrack, the trio and Ko Moon Young fashion sense OMG I want her closet<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>
●I love how there were different ships going on all through the drama from Moon Young and Gang Tae, the nurse and the manager, Moon Tae best friend and the assistant and the 2 patients etc.
●The animation was sooo beautiful and haunting.
●The scene where Moon Young has sleep paralysis is still soo haunting even after 3 years later amazing acting you can hear the pain and fear in that scream.
●I love how sassy that assistant is I'm sooo happy for herself and Jae So I also love how close both actors are with each other
●I love the animations though some of them were really creepy and made me have goosebumps.
● The storyline with the 2 patients were just soo cute they loved each other soo much
●I love how at the end of each episode there were bts (behind the scenes not the band) or the post-credits scenes.
<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT I'VE LEARNED 3 YEARS LATER (it hasn't changed my love for this drama)
<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>
●At the time it was airing I loved Ko Moon Young "badass attitude" but I've realised that her attitude wasn't cool or powerful it was pretty sure much like a child having a tantrum also he almost killed Moon Gang Tae.
●The plot twist of the nurse being Ko Moon Young mother didn't make any sense AT ALL, we literally saw her father dumping her in the sea and she just resurrected from the dead like HOW DOES THAT WORK????
●Now that I know what the scandal I don't really think much of it I hate how the scandal covers Seo Yea Ji amazing acting skills also I feel this scandal is very one sided it was all "she is soo toxic" "she is soo controlling" "she ruined his life" but remember it takes 2 to tango both parties were toxic to each other but whatever not here to create drama.

One of the best revenge dramas
First of all no hate to any of the actors REMEMBER PEOPLE THEY ARE ACTORS THE CHARACTERS THEY ARE PLAYING ARE NOT HOW THEY ARE IN REAL LIFE!!!!This drama is amazing, I really enjoyed watching all the bullies being turned and destroyed.
☆My Thoughts☆
•I'm going to put it out there I was so happy when Jae Joon beat up that creepy primary teacher, I'm not gonna lie I was happy Ye sol saw her bio father/uncle in the worst way.
•That church scene was disturbing I was not expecting Hye Jeong to do that I was like Woah SLAY BUT DAMN
•Is it bad that I really like Hye Jeong? I'm not defending what she did to Dong Eun but I was happy that Dong Eun was like "Here blind Jae Joon get your revenge".
•I'm so glad Jae Joon is dead yay I was laughing at his demise he went from cursing to begging for help to back to cursing
☆DONG EUN☆
•I'm so happy that Dong Eun revenged worked in the end and she got her happy ending.
•I never realised until I saw a edit later how Dong Eun and So Hee were friends it made sense when she said "we are both 19 now" and the mother knowing who she was.
•Wow the parallel between the old landlady and Dong Eun no wonder she says that Dong saved her life, they both saved eachother that day.
°I love how after her revenge was done she helped the love of her life with his.
•I love the way Dong Eun shoes her scars she isn't afraid of people seeing them anymore I'm so proud of her
☆YEO JEONG☆
•My thoughts on Yeo Jeong changed I love how he did everyting for Dong Eun, always there to protect and ready to fight beside her, in eps 10 when Yeonjin went unconscious I was like oooo what's gonna happen?
•Yeo Jeong was the right partner to help Dong Eun with her revenge.
•He was so calm, composed and innocent when he was around the bullies behaviour which is perfect to strike them off guard.
•He's eyes go completely evil when looking at Yeonjin (which is ironic since the actors are now dating) to loving towards Dong Eun.
•I want to see Lee Dohyun play (I know this sounds awful) a psychopath.
•I was like wow that was smart putting the DNA from her foot wound to Son Myeong Oh nail.
☆KANG HYUN NAM☆
•When she slapped Yeonjin after her husband died I screamed "YES MRS KANG"
•When she applied her lipstick it was a beautiful indicator that she is free
•I'm so happy Mrs Kang was free from her abusive husband, I nearly choked on my water when her husband was run over WARNING DON'T EAT OR DRINK DURING THAT SCENE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
•I was so scared that she was going to be killed when Yeonjin found her and threatened her, when she started to trail Dong Eun I was like THE BETRAYAL but then I was TRICKED.
•When Mrs Kang husband mentioned the Philippines I was like YAY NY MOTHERLAND IS GETTING A SHOUTOUT PROUD HALF FILIPINA HERE.
☆DO YEONG☆
•I'm so happy he killed Jae Joon.
Do Yeong shocked me when he said he was staying with Yeonjin, I was like well you'll go down with your wife.
•My thought on him changed after he divorced her and took their daughter I was like awwww he wanted his marriage to work for the sake of his daughter but I'm happy they got there happy ending.
☆YEON JIN☆
•I was so happy when her daughter Ye Sol didn't want her or forgave her.
•I love how in the end she gets bullied in jail KARMA IS A BITCH
•I absolutely hate Yeonjin but her outfits AHHHH I WANT HER CLOSET
•The way she kept gaslighting her husband "girl your husband isn't dumb he is questioning his life choices".
•When the shaman was possessed with Yoon So Hee "spirit" freaking out Yeonjin was amazing it gave me absolue chills.
•The way that she tried to cover up her downfall with Sara, I'm happy Sara got her turn in revenge with the videos of teen Yeonjin.

Probably one of the best dramas of 2023
This drama is one of a kind, the storyline, characters just wow, it's probably the first drama where I've binge-watch it in one day.I did have to look away from the bullying scenes since it was too graphic.
The cast and crew did an excellent job in this drama.
After I finished watching the drama I watched the behind the scenes and it's so weird to see the "bully's" being so nice to Dong Eun I was screaming ITS A TRAP!!!!! RUN DONG EUN!!!!! As you can see from what I've said it just proves what an amazing job the actors did to portray so evil.
I'm so used to Song Hye Kyo to playing a wholesome and happy character to now seeing her in a whole new light just shows how an incredible actress she is

I can't believe it's a true story
The plot, the characters, the storyline everything about it is so wholesomelove how Jun hyung fell in love with Bok Joo first, the way he teased her with names like chubs is cute (Out of Context it sounds like bullying but I swear it isn't).
I'm so happy Dr Jung realised at the end that his future wife was right in front of him. I did feel bad for her being in love with them for 10 years but being scared to tell them, I shouted yes queen when she confessed and cut ties, I swoon when Jung kept visiting her you can see he started to fall for her.
I love how both Nam Joo-hyuk and Lee Sung-kyung dated after the drama aired.
The food scenes made me so hungry.
Give Bok Joo father a round of applause pushing aside your career to raise a child as a single father, owning a chicken shop to support both of you what a guy, his brother played by Myung Seok is a perfect balance of sunshine to match with Bok Joo serious/grumpy father
I absolutely despised the ex girlfriend until we saw how brutal her life was, omg I wanted to slap her coach, I'm so glad she escaped andd changed to be a better and supportive person.
The cute subtle hints of awkwardness between Jun hyung roommate and Bok Joo friend, I squealed when he asked her to hang out with him without her other friend, the awkwardness at the movies

WHOLESOME AF
It has been awhile since a drama has hooked me straight awayI love how wholesome this drama is
It's an eye opener when it comes to austism more specifically spectrum disorder and how it effects someone on their day to day life.
Young woo is such an interesting character, the way she memorises what's on a piece of paper just by looking at it once, she is very observant, obviously she doesn't know when it is appropriate to talk about her whale obsession or when it's the right time to speak but she is willing to learn. The way they portray her lightbulb as a whale coming out of the water is hilarious.
I love how the other attorneys on the team Myung seok, Su yeon and Joon ho.
The character min woo I absolutely despised for treating my girl young woo with so much disrespect, doing everything in his power to destroy her but that scene in Ep 15 of him protecting young woo ?? thank you for protecting her.....I still don't like you tho
The head of the team myung seok is like an older brother to young woo yes at the start he was a little stunned and annoyed by how many times she would interrupt him but eventually grew to adore her and her ways.
Joon ho was the first friend she made at the job, he helped her with the revolving door, listened to her endless facts about whales and went along with anything she wanted. He is the epitome of the perfect boyfriend.
Su Yeon also known as spring sunshine is such a beautiful tsundere person who is very protective over young woo. At first I thought she was going to turn into such a bitch after finding out that Joon Ho liked young woo, she protected and never left young woo side even if her career was at stake. I hate that Su yeon and Min woo got together at the end Su yeon you deserve so much better bruh idk whats in the air in Jeju island but it some how changed everyone.
Her father is such an adorable man that deserves the world. Raising young woo alone as a single parent, being very protective over her, wanting the best for her, giving up his career as an attorney just so he could give everything for his daughter god dad goals ?
Young woo best friend geu rami is an ADHD golden retriever, she too is very protective of her best friend and a mega shipper for young woo and Joon ho her boss min shik aka hairy boss is so wholesome aswell awkward at times but adorable.

Don't cheat just breakup
God the ending what a plot twistAs someone who is single and has trust issues this movie makes me want to stay single
The security guard confused me I thought he was the Boss or a stalker but I think it was Jang-Hyuk inner monologue testing his loyalty to Da-Eun it was just weird he kept popping out of nowhere
Boi Da-Eun deserves better and I'm happy she has someone who loves and respects her
Other than that it is a good movie give you an understanding about long distance and trust in relationships and that cheating is not the answer

Gangster flick with a bit of a heist
This movie is about a bar owner that fights with organised crime, mix of gangster flick with a bit of a heist, it does touch on some political scandals. Movies with politics in them usually bore me but this one was interesting and the main characters had a lot of chemistry.Seo ye-ji is the reason I watched this movie after falling head over heels for her in It's okay to not be okay. Her character is so elegant but a bit suspicious at the start but I can't stay mad It's Seo Ye-ji.
I only know Park Hae-Soo as that fella from squid game so I'm so used to him being the bad guy, his character in the movie was surprisingly likeable quite mad at times almost like the joker, it was really cute when his character gets nervous around Seo character.

Cars that drift
This movie is so exciting and full of action which I loveThe movie is set in the lead-up to the historic 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, the film centres around five friends who collectively call themselves the Sanggye-dong Supreme Team.
I love the classic 80s retro vibes and soundtrack
Fast and Furious in the 80s (I don't know if fast and furious have political chats never watched it)
I was a little confused with the friendship dynamic this is my understanding of them
The main lead Park Dong Wook and Park Yoon Hee are siblings, Woo Sam (John) and Joon Ki are brothers, in the middle of the movie Joon told Dong while giving the ignition "this is dad's, so I don't know
I hate politics side in these types of movies but it went straight to the point, I liked the discovery uncovering a slush fund scam during the Olympics that was really good and refreshing.
I really shipped John and the Secretary they deserved better
I gasp so loud when prosecutor died he just came out of nowhere unexpected jumpscare

Friendship Goals
I love fighting and car chases in shows and this drama is no exception, the scenes were so exciting especially the training montage in episode 5.I love the bromance between Gun Woo and Woo Jin, they always have eachothers back and would die for eachother, god I want this friendship.
Episode 6 had no chill I wasn't able to grief anyone's death. Doo Young and Yang Jung could have overthrown them but they were caught off guard, I expected Mr Choi to die since he is old but damn not that brutal. I knew something bad was going to happen when Doo Young announced he was going to be a father and the wholesome drinking montage.
I understand the actress career is basically dead after the DUI but I really liked her character in the show sure she was annoying at the start but the more she was around the more likeable she was.
I feel like after episode 6 it was a bit of a drag, a new grandfather and granddaughter duo that no offence wasn't really necessary it was alright but they could have introduced the granddaughter earlier, I kind of shipped Woo Jin with Mr Oh's granddaughter but then again they could be more like siblings.
I feel like it should have more of a build up for the downfall of Myeong Gil it was very rushed. I wanted Myeong Gil to suffer.
I was so confused during one of the scenes in episode 8 when the guy got poisoned, the stabbing and the girl that got hit with a truck (which was an utterly jumpscare XD).

So. Boring.
Right I'm going to put it out there I didn't finished this drama I tried....I really tried but the ML WAS SOOOO BORING and the drama was pretty much a let down. This is my opinion but I'm pretty sure they had Seo Yea Ji in this drama because she is a well known actress and she might carry the show.Idk if this ML is a rookie or a "known" actor but his character was sooo dry he wasn't giving me ✨AHJUICY✨ he was giving me ✨AhJudry✨, his wife in this show was a spoiled, unbearable brat ugh I wanted to slap her, all that screaming and tantrums is such an ick
I love Seo Yea Ji but her character was fine but not memorable, that one scene where the ML was reading something and her character was just tangoing behind him was just soooo awkward ?
The sex scenes where just really unnecessary and forced, in episode 6 they were going at it like a bunch of rabbits it was really uncomfortable ?
