I was lucky enough to see this wonderful movie the day before I deactivated my Netflix account ( I am not a Netflix fan, LOL). The chemistry between Hung Jae In and Kim Go Eun gave me goosebumps, their acting was the perfect choice for this movie. The storyline develops on the base of how music changes throughout the years and also over a radio program that both of them love since the very first day of airing, like all of their lives are based on this program. Actually different from the classic Korean movies where everything is funny and cheesy because in this movie isn't all about love, but mostly about hardships of life and the difficult moments and problems that all of us faces and touches problem like the prisons and the betrayal in a couple... But music makes everything softer for all the movie length!
The themes are also more mature than other K-Movies, and that's the wonderful thing. Absolutely needs worth a try for watch, these are two hours but really well spent!

Can I say that this drama is an underrated gem?
First, the story isn't so simple as it seems! There is a plot twist that's gonna AMAZE you, truast me!
Second: The acting it's actually really good ! Many JDramas tend to lack with really bad acting, sometimes rushed or just overexaggerated, things that for me make hard to follow a drama, this one is really an exception! The acting is actually pretty good, nothing confusing, there aren't exaggereted scenes (there are a lot of easily crying scenes! haha)
The stroy brought me to tears more that one times, it's super touching and also real, i mean, everyone could be involved into a car accident, but many more always had the tought of ''but, after our death, what hapens!?'', and this one it's that kind of drama!
Thrid: The lenght was perfect, it basically more a movie than a drama, since it's around just 2 hours of show, if they made a whole 10 episode or more show, i could say that this one was gonna be a masterpiece!
In the end, this one made this way into my favorite drama lists, aboslutely whort the time!!

Super famous but didn't convinced me...

Watched this drama about a year ago because it was literally everywhere,and seemed like a must-have if you like K-Drama like me! So i said to myself:"Why not give it a try!?". It turned out to be a pretty basic K-Drama. Music's and places were gorgeous,and the story in itself had a strong basement for a really wonderful and well made show but sadly turned out to be the classic dramawith a good add of romance. Also I've founded it really confusing since they didn't closed al lot of questions, like the one about the headstones and the relationship with the place in Canada. Plus they added A LOT of repeated scenes nearly the end of the show, especially the one pf him walking in the snow tempest. Sadly I'm notgonna give this show a rewatch was reallyhard and boringto follow in many pieces...

I started this drama 'cause it was for a long time into my watchlist but didn't meet my expectations..
I'll start with the PRO:
- The plot is really good and also something new. Rarely I see religion themes on KDramas, and even more rarely a full drama based on these things.
- The cast was really good, the ''Spiritual Father'' was portrayed perfectly and also really creepy in many scenes!

And I'll also start with the CONS:
- Many religious scenes were really, really boring, I've skipped 90% of them since they were pretty much repeating...
- The real part of the story starts to develop after the 7th episode before this is just a long moment of how they get into the cult, where the place is, what the do, and also a lot of praying scenes.
- The last three episodes were rushed and confusing, everything starts to come out in less than three hours (secrets, dark pasts of the people), things that actually needed a little of the background to make everything be easier!
- Really few action scenes, even though is more on the psychological side, I was hoping for more actions scenes, I don't know something like the police ones or something about an investigation, but nothing or let me say it, just a very small part of this has been made.

At the end i can say that isn't that bad, but if you're searching for something like 'Signal' with a really good tension, personally, this isn't the one in charges neither if you hope for a little bit of romance in it...
Not bad, but i wouldn't rewatch it again.

Not the best j-Drama I've watched, but also, not so bad.
I wanted to see this title cause it just been added on Viki website, so since J-Dramas also have the perfect length over episodes for me, I wanted to give it a chance.
The start I can say it's pretty confusing, I know that is based on a shoujo manga, so they don't follow a clean narration line, but the fact the falls in love with her in less than 10 seconds, it's confusing!!!!?
Even the time passing by is badly made, they start in the present time, and in less than half of an episode were yet a month after the whole story, which everything develops in a way pretty much unreal!!!!????
The story starts to get way better from the 4th episode till the end, way more realistic and actually follows a storyline that's clean. I liked the end, probably a little bit rushed but coherent with the last two episodes.
I also liked the POV scenes, they cleared out some strange scenes from both of the sides!!

This drama was an absolute pain to watch.
Boring, messy, confusing with an extremely lacking story, sadly neither Nam Joo Hyuk beauty saved this drama. The main actress was plain, boring and didn't have a decent facial expression in 16 hours of the show, the second actress made a slightly better work ( the witch/psychologist or whatever she was) but really, even the secondary cast was boring and sometimes extremely over-exaggerated...
The story was actually good, but the cast was poorly directed, sometimes they repeated the same scene over and over again, the only one that I've liked was the person who was covered in water, it was the only thrilling thing that made me finish this show. Absolutely no worth the whole time to watch it...

This movie is literally no joke!
Since I've found it around two years ago and made his way to my top list of movies.
The cast, the story, the acting and the considerating amount of plot twist that had in it, made me love this movie so much that brought me to tears till the end.
Rarely I love movies or dramas from China, their language is difficult to follow if compared to the Korean one, and the acting sometimes tends to be unrealistic and over-exaggerated, but in this movie, everything was extremely realistic.
I loved how the friendship between the two girls, two opposite poles, started and developed. I extremely loved also how the faced the hardship of being adult and living a small city just to go into a city of 10 million people, where everyone is just considered more than a number than a real person. I loved the adding of betrayal, and how a love can born and end in a bad way but also how a person turns out to be extremely different from their past themseleves.
Absolutelt neeeds to be watched and rewatched againg and again! Extyremly underrated but probably one of the best!!!!!

Just Between Lovers is the perfect drama if you want to cry because this drama literally kills you with his story.
It is pretty dark, explores the demons that people have especially after a stressful situation, it also lt open the vision about the poverty in Korea. In this drama, there are no Cheabols, no money, just the most normal people that you can find among all the dramas.
I loved it, is pretty strong not to cry in many scenes, Junho made a wonderful work to impersonate a person with so many problems, both physically and mentally that you can't love him.
Also the whole cast made a wonderful work, from the old grandma till each people that appeared here!
Absolutely worth the time spent by watching it!

This drama has EVERYTHING that a K-drama needs: romance, fantasy, supernatural, life and death and also, the point of everything , the crime and thriller storyline.
Rarely I put a drama into my top favorites, but this one needs to climb till the first place!
I loved the story, which is pretty different from the classics crime drama where all the questions go into a court.
This one has the end at the very start, so the first 20 seconds of this series is crucial to understand the end, there is a lot of plot twist and they didn't let me take my eyes off the screen till the end.
I loved the intro music also, but probably the end needed a better explanation, because yes is made a few years later after everything comes to an end, but it was very rushed like they needed to close the season and nothing more.
This drama, which is also underrated needs to bet rewatched a ton of times, totally worth every second of vision!!

After a really long time of hiatus over dramas, I've decided to give a chance to this title and I absolutely enjoyed it!
Usually, it took me a lot of time to finish Chinese dramas due to their good amount of episodes, but actually, I watched this one in less than four days.
The drama is basically super lighthearted, funny, and with a good dose of cringe that personally I've appreciated.
I liked the ost's usually I do not pay attention to music in movies and dramas, but these ones were really good.
Only a thing: Sometimes the episodes lacked plot holes, a storyline started but sometimes it faded out after a few minutes, especially the last news ( that I don't spoiler, I promise) from episode 28.
I loved the episode 15, and the ones from 25 to 30, they really melted my heart!!

This is the drama where my love for Jang Dong Yoon started!
It is pretty far from the classics school dramas, because involves a huge portion of thriller and court scenes.
I liked how the classmates of the dead students, make everything possible to know the real story and just a lot by left him behind due to the real courts laking of interest!
It is also really light to watch even if there is a good amount of plot twist, it's also a little bit short if compared to the normal 16 hours length of the drama!
Absolutely underrated but needs a good option to being watch!!!
