WHATTODO
PH
IT WAS DARK AND GOOD BUT...
Each episode portrays humanity and Nanno there, not just exposing but making them realize a lesson and it's too late. I was bothered that there are a bunch of lessons that connect to every episode but didn't voice them out. Or it's for us to realize in the middle of the main idea without voicing it as a few episodes made me say "What was that?".The production was an art and Nanno sweety is my btch. I don't think I have a favorite episode, neither disliked. It was great at the same time lacking some aspects because I need more xD
I heard there's Season 2 coming and I'm gladly anticipating it!

MATURE PLOT, CHARACTERS, CONFLICTS
Perfect to binge-watch, no skips, worthy for sure. No complex plots and complicated characters — just a simple and realistic journey of the characters. From friendship, family, love-life, dream, to an ending of a marriage of the main leads, it was pleasant enough. (E1 already hinted a happy ending.) The romance is not cringey and cliche. Those short-time conflicts were reasonable. There's no frustrating episode to the point the story fucked up. This series is fun, may sometimes heartbreaking.I definitely recommend it!

PLOTHOLES AND DRAGGY
The games were fun but almost a waste of time and some bunch of nonsense. It's not brilliant. It could've be simple but meaningful with strong logic but it failed to impress me.They mentioned time and space but didn't even went deeper and uncover the truth about Die Now (Die Now have no motive and it's a BIG turnoff). Such a cliffhanger and still makes no sense.
About the last game was so draggy. How did it became a victory? So it needs the player a savior? LMAO I don't understand that part. The plot just adjust for the main character and no solid logic.
And how did Qing Zhi know about Xu Xiang though when she was unconscious the whole time.
Half of the series are pointless plus I don't like the ending.

HEAD TILTING
It's a lot darker when you feel inside the misery.It the entire series, all we hear and see was Jong Woo's point of view. We weren't able to know what the weird ones really think or feel. And it'll remain a mystery.
The introduction was not really intriguing to me. I thought it's just the characters, Eden Studio residents, are creepy while Jong Woo was an innocent person who'll make those people pay from whatever they'll commit or blah whatever. It's only I wasn't that fond first. But it gets more interesting even the direction of the storyline wasn't what I expected but awed me eventually.
Overall feeling was creepy, thrilling, and mysterious especially the ending with no explanation. As I said, we don't know any backgrounds and the real reason of the residents. It's practically a cliffhanger for me aside I want more.

HOW COULD YOU SHOT MY HEART LIKE THAT!
What I like the most is this trio's combo. The detective, the exorcist priest, and the psychic. One of a kind trio I've ever seen! The three went through a difficult battle and never failed to give in my cheer and respect.The casts portraying the possessed people were so amazing too!
Another tricky point was the revelation of the real culprit. I meant the body the demon went it. I'd not blabber anything about it but just be prepared and try not to OH challenge.
...I hate it when the reason the culprit kills was just for fun. It could have some sort of a heavy reason to make it build a stronger plot. I don't like it to be a circus and juggles the main characters (not just them) being played while seriously fighting for their goal. It's sickening. I know it happens to almost every death or serial killing dramas and I just don't know why. Psycho things? Like seriously it affected and ruined lots of people, others died, suffering. And it happened because of a piece in a whole pizza. It wasn't that huge to make a fuss!
It affects the entire plot of the main root of a story — the reason why the antagonist does this and that — how the conflict was born. But if I generalize everything, it's merely so-so.

LOOKS LIKE I'VE SEEN THIS SCENE BEFORE
Being attached in the past life that makes you decide how your current living goes. You don't want the ill-fated events from the past to take place again in today's life. And does it mean if you love someone in your previous lives that recalls in your current life... you must love him as well? Forever in every reincarnation? That's how everyone describes... DESTINY, FATE, MEANT TO BE, SOULMATES or blah blah. For me, it's overdone as its concept alone.The amount of bromance here looks forced. Its video effects make me cringe. I don't think it's rare for dramas with "man rumored as gay". LIKE SERIOUSLY CLICHE TROPES EVERYWHERE. Childhood friend falls for FL and she only sees him as his "little brother". AWW, THAT'S SO NEW! There's also this annoying girl... but not falling for the ML this time— What's only interesting for me the reincarnated woman happened to be born older than the reincarnated lovers. And another love triangle—
Fillers, fillers, fillers. Boring fillers. I can skip half an hour in every episode and still can understand what's going on. The writer is capable of creating a surprise conflict for the ML and FL to be together or whatsoever. Seemed already a pantser's work.
Hwang Jung Eum. I have issues with her. I don't even know if I liked her in Mystic Pop-up Bar (my first drama of her). Is it her acting or aura? Both? Hmm... First, I don't understand why people disliked her. Now I know why. And her chemistry with the ML? I've never shipped even the second male lead with her. Why did I even reach almost half-way of the series? I'm not here for romance development... I just want to see how will this drama disappoint me for good. But I don't think I can go on...

CONCRETE STORY & SATISFYING FLOW
This is one of a kind series, an amazing story, and has solid elements.Chicago Typewriter never fails to impress me. Every episode leaves you intrigued. Everything — the plot is perfectly planned. No plotholes and you wouldn't dare to skip a bit to miss a single second. It's wrapped up very pleasantly.
The trio is holding great chemistry and performance. Each of the characters has their own charm. Seemingly how they helped each other to unfold the truth, even they were attached in their previous lives, it's the friendship who was holding them each other. I'm so in love with their scene together having fun in Carpe Diem, so precious.
One of my favorites, I declare TT

ENTERTAINING AS IT HOLDS DIFFERENT EMOTIONS
I really enjoyed this drama! The romance, comedy, the logic of this fantasy balanced this whole series. The characters are adorable, hilarious, and cool.First few episodes make you find intriguing from the concept itself. The writer definitely likes pulling pranks.
The story is circling about the romance of the main leads. The subplots are bringing messages when there are some unnecessary but entertaining at the same time. It surely made the entire series too long but it won't disappoint at any point.

CATCHY AND REFRESHING CONCEPT
Although mid-episodes were filler-ish, I still able to have a good watch. It was fun and hilarious. I love every character — youkai and humans. It's my first youkai drama and it's catching my interest in it. Also, the sub-plots were brought meaningfully!The last episode was the best. It had all my attention despite being conscious to end this series as quickly as possible. I can relate to almost every gist and point of it. So attached. The What's Wrongs are my favorite line, especially mentioning breaking stereotypes. Yes, Mio-chan! You go girl<3

SIP IT WHILE YOU CAN!
Just from the introduction, the first episode, the concept of this drama is more attractive as it seems. How perfectly balanced the construction of the plot and the characters.FIRST, a police officer who goes on her own way and prove herself she's walking in the flawless path when behind is the filthy truth. We can see this kind of police characters, right? SECOND, a killer who is an actual psychopath who does murders brutally like an art and not giving justice to the victims. A usual murderer character we have here. BUT THIRD, a dumb, innocent, weakling guy who was done of himself and tried to end his life. Just tried, he's so weak either to attempt suicide! And all of those encounters when he chose not to jump in the construction building, the story woke up. The diary. Amnesia. Misunderstandings.
The plot is just so thrilling and brilliant. And it never failed me to burst out of laughter when I'm in a bad mood.
But In Woo ended in jail and frustrate himself was a dull ending. I mean who knows... could've any better. Like honestly the ending has more potential. I want it to have the appearance of the corpses and more...
Like it's my first series done without the romance tag and I'm surprised to myself not in thirst of romance :) This drama is gonna be the reason why I look forward to dark-humor series. Well, I'll just see. Anyway, the Bo Kyung and Dong Sik duo are adorable, special mention to the scene when they reenacted the possible actions of the culprit.
Oh, and Chil Sung! He's probably my favorite character... especially him together with Dong Sik is superb.
This series is so beautiful. This is definitely my cup of tea!

DISAPPOINTED
Super bothered at the rating so I gave it a try. I was curious about everything.Since they have the unusual abilities unlike normal students, they're being treated as the "Gifted" and most likely label them "top students" without knowing the abilities they actually have. So the Gifted Program has a motive to awaken then develop the students who have superpowers. It's a secret of the school. Only the Gifted students must know and the administrators. But It's different from academic class. They do that class and move to the Gifted class. Why do they have to play it "secret" when there's a potential to use their special abilities and help other people in varies of ways? It's not unequally treated. Gifted class is totally different and far from academic class.
What I mean is, Gifted = Hero.
And what's the point of other Gifted's stories (experience), and some missions when it's messaging being treated equally. Wondering if they have superpowers? Nonsense and doesn't connect to the main theme!
