Ok I realize this is nothing ground breaking but I think it's perfect for a guilty pleasure viewing. The leads were hot and had great chemistry. The beginning part with the grim reaper ok a bit cringey but I kept watching and the comedy was cute and just generally good mix of light and emotional. Even warmed up to the reaper bit lol I love the twist I mean the way the two leads are shown like I said the chemistry was there and totally worth watching. I felt bad for the female lead and honestly I feel this plot deserved more episodes but it wasn’t an abrupt or incomplete ending

A generous helping of all the makjang essentials - plenty of angst, good looking male leads, and gray characters galore. If someone loved you like Ha Ryu loved the female lead life would be perfect. I came for Yunho but was enamored by Kwon Sang Woo! He did all the scenarios so well, I cried and cried for him. It's not perfect by any means but definitely worth a watch. The script is full of dramatic plot twists and keeps you guessing and entertained. I personally liked the "noona" and the female lead was obviously the point of most of the angst so I can't say I liked her but I liked the way her character was unpredictable.

This is basically two hours of fujoshi fan service which would have been fine for a guilty pleasure viewing but this one made me want to down a gallon of bleach to get the taste out. Its way too crude slapstick, but you won't even notice after a while thanks to all the dick jokes, butt slaps, and gratuitous scenes (seriously no one ever wore a shirt for the entire length of the movie tbh lol) which again none of that I'm against. Except the crude slapstick kept getting cruder!

They even somehow added a flimsy plot about the swim team going to manila and encountering the most ridiculously hilarious  European bullies who could not have been more corny. And an even more flimsy plot about both ljs and sig falling for some chick who was more lame than the cardboard cut out supporting characters, when it's pretty obvious they're only into each other, ffs at one point SIG even introduces LJS to HIS DEAD FATHER instead of the girl like wtf!

Anyway, I gotta say I felt bad for SIG and LJS. They deserve better.

What an amazing show! Gripping, thought provoking, full of drama and action and the acting is just phenomenal.

At no point did I get bored or feel like it should have been something else. The mystery will keep you guessing till the end and what a perfect ending!

I don't think I can rant about Woo Do Hwan or Taecyeon enough but they're both gorgeous and acted so well they and Seo Ye Ji made me go through all kinds of emotion.

Seriously credit goes to all the cast who made this fantasy come alive, especially Jo Sung Ha who always delivers a memorable performance. As the influential cult leader he made his character come to life.

Another great thing about the show was the Bromance! Taecyeon and Do Hwan were so good! Perfect mix of angst and love. But pretty much everyone else in the group of four school friends, and even Woo Do Hwans prison Hyung, they all showed that they could rely on each other.

I love how their friends never questioned Taecyeon or Woo Do Hwans ideas and actually were so courageous always! It was so heartbreaking to see them get hurt. I also really got invested in Dae Shiks story, I'm glad for the way it turned out.

*Minor spoiler ahead* I know it's more of a bittersweet ending in some ways, but I think it was the perfect fit for the show *end of spoiler*

So I'm happy I watched this definitely one of the best dramas out there.

I don't know what it is about Mame's couples that makes them extremely shippable! Especially Mew Gulf and Ja First, I can't get enough of them!

Love In The Air was no exception, but while I really enjoyed Payu Rains story I basically fell in love with Sky Prapai!

I mean everyone from Noulle to Boss is attractive, but I don't know what it is about Peat Fort that I have literally watching them everywhere lol and just shipping them bad!

their story made more of an impact on me obviously, cause I love angsty, emotional red flag couples like Vegas Pete, Tharn Type, and Leo Fiat :')

buuut tbh Prapai is basically a less insecure Leo, and Lei Fiat have some toxicness to them like Tharn Type that makes it even more shippable for me lol but for once I guess Im more into how wholesome Sky Prapai's relationship is! and despite their conflicts they always find their way to each other. Also the intimate scenes are just hot and a little depraved which I love.


So yes, all in all, it's not perfect by any chance, writing wise or direction wise but still the couples made an impact on me. stood out from the rest.
And that finale was really something!

Great action thriller, engaging well made and the supernatural touch on a crime story was interesting. Seriously Mark is fantastic! Hes so good at the action and at the angst. Another thing I love is unlike so many action villains that seem so weak the hero easily overpowers them, but here the villain was downright scary.

Dont get me wrong its nice to watch an Isekai style power fantasy xD but its nice to have a truly fearful villain for a change.

Its basically like if Fabricated City was not a game world but a black magic world. And made just as well.

Also this was all the Kom faek cast so maybe some of the premise was a little similar, but the stories were completely different. And okay Got is just perfect at this role!

Honestly I hope there's another movie lol because MARK PRIN BEING ANGSTY AND TORTURED. ^^

Okay okay I'll see myself out. ;)

Something about this BL felt different! Maybe its just this beautiful mix of deep emotions and guilty pleasure, where the actors made the fantasy so believable, or the combination of soft happy with light angst but it just works! The main leads had phenomenal chemistry and the writing was pretty great. I watched both versions, on viki and I watched it again a third time xD and I would HAPPILY watch it again. But I personally felt the version without the VOs just hit harder for some reason. And most of the time I was crying and it wasn't even that sad lol but it was... hard to explain. Anyway i always keep saying if Korea started doing BL they would be epic, because just look at Method, and its finally happened! Lets hope they give us a lot more now. And of course I'd love to see t hese two again!

Pretty much the entire cast is made up of hot men (Lay, Ming En) but WIlliam Chan is HOT on another level XD lol seriously just watching him walk about in those outfits is enough to get your money and time's worth. But the thing about Chan is he's a great actor too so whether he's giving those stoic cdrama male lead vibes or doing action, or being hurt and tortured, he does it so well! This whole series is the main reason I have a viki plus subscription lol so like I said, you'll get what you paid for. Butttt I am going to say this one went a little not-so-great toward ep 22 after the big plot twist involving Lay's character. Basically when they go to the mines a second time not only was the direction and camera work lacking but so was the story but then it got interesting again but a few of the direction issues remained but I still didn't feel like dropping it.

And the action not going to lie is just really strange lol and over the top but I didn't mind because that's pretty much what this franchise is but imo this one and the movie with luhan are both too ott where the rest of the series are not so much. So, not my first favorite, but entertaining and as always the spectacular bromances will win you over. I really loved how Ming En's character was loyal to a fault to William Chan it was so beautiful to watch! But also the way Lay gets involved and the way Chan's character goes to dangerous lengths to save his wife. And okay you watch this series for the bromance I know but damned if I didn't shed tears for Lay and his wife because she was just the most beautiful person and their relationship was epic.

But tbh while I didn't hate Chan's love interest I wasn't exactly shipping them either lol not sure why. Maybe because my otp was Chan and Ming En or at least Chan and Lay XD and she kept getting in the way lol okay I will stop now lol

Really enjoyed the humor in this one especially the Brokeback Mountain cutaway and when Noh gets teased by his club mates about Phun, Ohm tells Noh to not get pregnant, and Noh goes 'of course not, I always remember my cycle' I was snorting! XD

So, that I think was the highlight of the series.  It's light and warm and you get involved in the characters lives and their struggles and failures make you grow as they make the characters grow. I just feel like there was no need to stretch it out for 36 full length episodes because then there was a lot of repetitive content and ok let's face it this is something made for guilty pleasure so definitely relies on clichés and tropes but that in itself isn't a bad thing.

The way they did it was pretty good. And I honestly started shipping Win and Per so much! Win did a great job portraying the sadness it broke my heart. And also shipped Ohm and Mic too. And I'm glad Earn came to his senses lol that bathroom scene was adorable.

 What I liked about this series is there's no completely hateful female characters or making them unrelatable villains and I like that the constantly tell you to love a person and not their gender. Anyway, Captain is very much my fave! Out of the 9x9 him and Thanapob! I think they're both solid actors and have amazing potential. I hope to see more of these characters and actors! Hopefully the upcoming season will be on the level of 2 Moons 2 and Love By Chance and Reminders.

The bromance in this series is so good!

Both leads are gorgeous and as always the franchise brings mystery and tons of action and emotions.

This starts as an origin story and then gets pretty complicated but I feel like it does justice to the books. And if you want to watch Lost Tomb 2 current season, then at least watch this or the last season with Yang yang and Yi Feng. Otherwise, you might be clueless about the characters.

Luhan played Wu Xie more nerdy than Yi Feng and Jing Bo Ran played Qi Ling more angsty and emotional than Yang yang but that's because Qi Ling is more a mysterious character in LT 1 whose motivations are entirely unknown but Time Raiders Qi Ling is a full fledged protagonist.

Anyway I thought the graphics though nothing extraordinary were done well.

And a truly engaging plot as always.

As much as this film BLEW MY MIND it also broke my heart.

But the relentless action made it such an edge-of-your-seat thriller there's no way you're quitting in the middle. I mean the action was so well choreographed, it almost feels musical, and the cinematography, the superb acting by the entire cast brings it on a higher level of any gripping thriller.

And the characters and their stories and the way they all band together setting aside their differences to live and die for one another... that's some next level shit.

At the core this is a story about the weak struggling to survive against the strong, but not just any kind of strong-- these 'strong' antagonistic forces are mindless, strong only because they stopped caring for the weak, animalistic 'zombies' and these creatures draw heavy parallels with corporation financed 'monsters' since not only is our protagonist a hedge fund manager, and the definition of corporate financed 'bloodsucker' as Ma Dong seok even calls Gong Yoo's character who started out being very self serving.

But the symbolism aside, this film works brilliantly as just a thriller even if that's your thing.

As for the gore, graphics, everything like I said everything is done phenomenonally well.

"Once I cross over I won't retreat"

Basically the whole point of the show and the ost perfectly embodied this message.

Once again, History writer nailed it.
Chemistry on point.
Soundtrack on point.
Acting on point.
Dialog on point.
Secondary couple made me cry harder than the main, but ok the whole aspect of an injured lead was maintained he doesnt just go and get a magical recovery procedure. The slowly revealing of characters and their motivations, everything was done well. But again that damn chemistry hit me in the feels every time!

There's nothing worse than knowing the person you love, doesn't want their paradise with you but someone else. Xia Mu his love for her is so deep and pure yet it reaches the height of obsession. Even though Xio Tian is a good guy and it was heartwarming watching them grow up together, I could totally relate to Xia Mus feelings toward his foster sister. That Joo Won cameo I have mixed feelings about it but tbh it's because he gave that character this evil touch. But I just felt his being a villain it was done in a not so subtle way. Especially in the beginning it was kind of cringey but then it got better and I was completely invested in the characters. I thought the ending was perfect. But this movie is messed up and I'm heartbroken over all three of them. Kris, obviously, he's beautiful and he gave his character a kind of a sinister feel which I loved. Seriously, he was the one I related to the most maybe because I'm weird that way. So it was heartbreaking to watch. But truly despite its faults this one is worth the heartache.
