i watched this on a total whim. i saw the fl and jaewook's scenes going all around my insta so i gave in and watched it. it wasnt bad but it wasnt awesome too
bok soon is an assassin. she is known and feared in the industry for being the best of the best. she has a daughter too and it looks like she isnt on as good terms with her daughter as she is with her work. the movie showcases how bok soon's contract with her current company would be expired so she is thinking on whether or not to renew it while on the other hand trying to handle her rebellious teen daughter.
the acting was amazing and the plot was decent too. but was ot awesome? not much. it just shows bok soon and her daughter starting to bond and their vision of the future becoming clear for each other.
i enjoyed the action scenes sm i have almost all of them recorded lmao. however some deaths were really uncalled for like i get it u killed them for the plot to thicken but was it really necessary but then again this IS an assassin movie so who am i to speak.
all in all good for a quick watch but dont have high expectations other than the action scenes

i really thought this one was more of an angst arranged marriage drama like u cant blame me the only clip i saw before i started watching this was when they were set up for having a night together bitch they were both is red clothes i thought they were married and thus he was angry TT
ok so i really went in thinking this was something when it was entirely smth else lmao but i didnt expect to enjoy it sm?? the main character so rang is a swindler who is conning people through marital fortune readings when marriage is forbidden. so ofc she gets caught and is brought to the royal prison when through twists and turns she meets the king and the king takes a fancy to her. thus starts the journey of the king who is being conned by so rang into believing she could channel his dead wife's soul into her. over time we uncover a lot of more mysteries and this dead soul bringing thing is absolutely not the main focus of the whole drama. we see who the fmc is fr and hoe everything about her is made public.
honestly i loved the drama mainly cuz the leads were funny af. not to mention the mytery tension was so good every episode i would be like they are so close to the truth this will end in the next ep but wahla another one went by without me realising.
the first half is a bit slow but imo the second half makes up for it. this was an awesome watch unexpectedly

i say this way too often but the first season was buildup for the second season to be even more intense. ive watched two episodes of the second season as of now and this is my verdict.
dongeun is a normal high-school student who dreams of becoming an architect but gets bound up with some bullies who bully the soul out of her. literally. its gruesome so trigger warning for that. she decides she is gonna end her life but in the end she realises those bullies are not worth her throwing away her whole life so she starts plotting revenge and lives for it. after 18 years the bullies have their respective happy lives and no guilt or remorse whatsoever for whatever they've done in their teen years and here we have dongeun who's starting her fight against her bullies
the bullying is gruesome and i have trust issues from watching thriller dramas previously so ofc i dont believe all the people like i wont be surprised if someone betrays dongeun at the last moment or smth
dongeun has started her revenge plotting and its just gonna o down from here on so im excited for that. also lee do hyun >>
now why the 8. stars? its overhyped. its not overrated but overhyped. like if ur not on social media or watching it on air thats the only way ull be truly able to enjoy the whole thing. for me ive seen so many edits ik what happened ik what the summary is i basically knew almost everythin in s1 which led to me not enjoying it as much as i thought i would. i dont think ik how this will end tho so lets look forward to it

ive seldom seen a chinese drama with such awesome acting and almost no plotholes. this really is one of my best watches of 2023 and i already know it cuz i do not have such expectations from any other cdrama. for me whenever i watch a cdrama im more inclined towards the visuals than the plot because in all reality cdramas have mediocre acting and a lot of plotholes. u can skip through most of it. but this one? exceeded all my expectations. i watched this for the angst and sexual tension and was rewarded with far more
so the story follows shen manning who is like the photocopy of zhuang xinyang. xinyang is an heiress and is chased by people cuz they wanna kill her. but xinyang and manning look so much alike they mistake them and manning gets pulled into the crossfire where xinyang dies and manning survives. through twists and turns of rfate manning finds herself in the zhuang mansion where xincheng claims to be her fiancee and they both try to survive in there while trying to capture the family business and find out buried truths
i liked how xincheng's identity was so secretive from the very starts. i was so curious i even googled it. it did ick me a bit that his sister and girlfriend look exactly same but we're gonna ignore that
every character played their character so well i have literally no words. i never expected such good acting. fan zhi xin?? his acting?? mind oggling im on the floor. his expressions were so good. i could see it deep down in his soul (ok maybe im exaggerating but it was just THAT good)
i loved the second leads. tang lin really messed up my mind i wanted to punch her so bad but she repented and i was happy to see her recovered in the end.
all in all this is a really good drama with an amazing revenge plot and angst and sexual tension. i loved it so so much now im gonna need 2 business days to recover

if ur going in for romance only the second story covers proper romance

this one has 3 different stories piled up into one drama. i loved every one of them. i read some reviews and some poeple were focusing more on the romance aspect like girl not all the stories were about romance
so the first story was about a guy who is addicted to masturbating. now he starts liking a girl in his class and tries to change for her and he actually does. the first two episodes show how he went from masturbating everyday to being totally out of it and literally feeling better and being able to be focused in his surroundings and enjoy life
the second story is about a girl who just broke up with a guy a month ago and now she finds out her besti had started dating him secretly for 20 days now. she was over him but she was angry cuz he moved on from her so fast and that so onto her besti. so she ends up fake dating her guy besti and they end up together in the end. i dont know about yall but for me the unspoken rule of not dating ur friend's ex is legit. like it ruins the friendship and u feel guilty. its just my opinion but yeah. also fake dating always and i mean ALWAYS ends in real dating. the second story as very sweet and the leads were very attractive and had great chemistry. i literally watched the whole drama cuz of them
the third story is about a girl who is healthy (they kept calling her fat because of the beauty standards in korea i think but i loved her sm i would definitely cuddle with her for hours. perfect cuddle material i tell u) and is made fun off and school home and basically everywhere. one day she gets this letter of how someone likes her hips and she shouldn't diet. it was anonymous with just one hint and she goes on the quest to find that guy. there is a bully too who bullies her every single day and she finally retaliated in the end. i was so proud of her i tell u
all in all adult trainee discussed some topics faced by growing teens and it was fun. i absolutely loved the second story. the other was also fabulous i lived all of them sm. definitely worth my time
