interesting storyline, not the best under this category
overall, the plot was mildly interesting to me. i was not too excited or nervous to keep watching throughout the show. i loved how this show represents real life problems. but, if you like the concept of survival shows; watch alice in borderland instead.the games were extremely boring and pointless to me. it did not feel or seem like they were fighting for their life and i did not enjoy the concept of taking kids games and turning them into life or death games.
i would recommend to watch this show as a time-killer, since i personally did not get attached to it that much.

a love so cheesy and soft
i did not like this korean remake at all. the development of their love story felt extremely rushed, and the overall plot was too soft, fluffy, cheesy, and just cringe in my opinion.i did not find this series interesting at all and only continued watching it to see if the main leads will end up together or not. i usually find those 'cheesy' and cliche kdramas interesting, for example a business proposal (which i rated 10/10), but from this one i am highly disappointed.
overall, i wouldn't really recommend watching this kdrama as it's pretty plain, maybe just as a time-killer.

one of the best shows i've ever watched
i have rewatched this jdrama so many times and i will DEFINITELY do it more. this show had me at the edge of my seat all the time. the plot was amazing and something i have never seen before, with a flawless delivery from the OUTSTANDING cast. the plot twists at so many points through the show were jaw-dropping and something i still think about to this day, months after finishing the show.this show may not be for everyone; it contains a lot of gore and nsfw. but if you're fine with that kind of stuff, i highly recommend watching it. the overall concept of the show is addicting and will get you attached to it so fast!
i HIGHLY recommend watching this with friends, i personally did and it was so fun sharing theories about the show together!

disappointingly shallow plot
this show was extremely boring to me. there was too much going on at once, many unnecessary storylines that were useless and did not contribute to the main idea of the show at all. i was really confused most of the time. the plot itself is very realistic as it represents adult relationships in our generation, but it is not too interesting.the writers' attempts at using weather metaphors to describe the 2 love stories were shallow and plain.
would recommend watching this show as a time-killer only.

amazing plot, plain characters
i really enjoyed the plot of this show. i love zombie stories and this one definitely did not disappoint. i was at the edge of my seat during every episode.however, i feel like they focused on the story more than the characters' personalities. i loved watching the love stories form, but they really had to work on their individual characteristics. the main female lead was a bit boring to me and the other classmates felt almost irrelevant.
overall, i still enjoyed the plot of this series and i can't wait for season 2! i highly recommend watching this with your friends.

second lead syndrome is hitting hard
the overall plot of this show was really good, but the ending really disappointed me. throughout the first half of the show, i had a big conflict about which male lead i'm supporting, but at the end i 100% supported seojun. i was crushed by the ending, considering that even after all of his hard work she still did not want him. when he finally decided to let her go, i was BAWLING my eyes out.i feel like the message of this show is really beautiful; those who really love you wouldn't care about your looks. however, i feel like at the same time it's giving a message that people won't love you if you are not pretty enough, which is (unfortunately) somewhat true in our generation.
overall this show is pretty good, i really loved the aesthetic of it too!

the perfect rom-com
this show made me so happy! the plot was interesting and straight to the point, without too many unnecessary additions and side stories. the casting was amazing and so were the characters! perfect writing for each one of the main leads that created a perfect match.the show is not too long and not too short, and watching it was not exhausting or boring at any point. every episode was interesting, fun and beautiful. i have rewatched it before and i will 100% rewatch it again!
i highly recommend watching this show with your loved one or with your friends!

this movie broke my heart
i knew this movie has a sad ending but i decided to watch it anyway, and it was NOT the type of ending i expected at all. the main leads story was so beautiful and raw and i was crushed by the ending.the aesthetic of this movie was so beautiful, the directors managed to deliver the 90s aesthetic flawlessly. the hairstyles, outfits, technology and everything.
i highly recommend this movie to anyone who needs to let out a good cry!! i watched it with my friend and we couldn't stop crying together
