It had promise but fell short

The story is underdeveloped which made it hard to follow as there wasn't enough depth and wished it had more episodes to finish it off.
The actors were great with Ji Yong my favorite as we understand why he is doing it yet the other one (vigilante we don't as I feel it is a bit of fun for him and a thrill. Officer Cho Heon brought it together as he mirrors both worlds and easily blurs the lines between them.
The reporter is honest in her work and does what needs to be done for truth. She is slightly creepy as when she was laughing while being tortured.
The actors needed to be developed more in-depth as feel that they was shallow at times

I hadn't watched the Korean versions

I hadnt watched the original as this isnt usually my taste when it comes to dramas and know it is best to keep it that way. I have regretted watching it as I only came to support win and ended up loving the other actors involved. Win is the ML and yet I felt he had the littlest time on the screen with SL and side characters popping up more then him.
I know we all see romance in different perspectives but come on I saw more friendship with me shipping the FL and ML with every other person than each other.
What it taught me about beauty was really the saving point of it as I leant valuable lessons in what beauty is to society and the prison it can create

A mask we wear

This drama has taught me more in 10 episodes than I will ever learn in real life
Dramas have tried to integrate with social issues yet this one has hit the spot. Don't judge a book by its cover as they will be wearing a mask to try to thrive in a deadly environment where only a few can survive
We were shown what happens when you can't reach those expectations from key students from losing a friend to wanting to die as you think it is easy
Everyone needs to watch this masterpiece
A small stone won't do much damage but when it is multiple stones a significant impact can occur

Toxic relationships are not healthy for anyone as they have major consequences in your life from dependency to trust issues and yet we see a toxic relationship.
At first, I thought Tae Kyu was his younger brother as he seemed so needy and the way he treated Jae sung and wanted what he wanted not realising just how hard it is to get money and have to pay everyone. But maybe I thought wrong as he did state he had no friends or family to support him,

Yong Joon I was most sympathetic towards him as all his life he has faced hardships that seem that he isn't appreciated for as Tae kyu always wants more from him. This makes me understand why he does prostitution as it is the only reliable way to make money and he was so in conflict with himself as he knew his actions would have consequences.

The pacing at times were slow but overall it matched the plot

I thought I was missing out

Yet I wasn't, I believe this show is hyped up maybe because there are little bls out there that there is the mafia boss as a male lead.

The story at the start seems a little dull and preferred when it was the minor family trying to destroy the major family as the pace started picking up and we got a true picture of the characters and their intentions in that life.

Porsche at times was shallow and so naive and hated how he was happy most of the time. Porsche made some stupid mistakes like not fully communicating how he felt to others but felt sorry for him when he discover what happened to his parents as he had to grow up too quick to protect his brother from harsh reality.
Kinn yes was the only sane sibling of the major family and hey he is the most forgettable character out of everyone.

I cried for Vegas (my favourite character) so many times as he is so misunderstood by everyone. His father thinking he is a failure at everything so font let him express his true character. The major family thinking he can't be trusted as he wants their power and status. He and Porsche were great friends as he helped out with his issues.
Pete at first thought he was that reliable friend you can count on for anything yet he has greater depth you have to look for. His pain of falling in love with a member of the minor family while supposed to be loyal to the major family.

Tankhun was a welcome relief as he was so unique and yes weird but you can't help but fall in love with him

rapping is a form of expression

It can be confusing on how you feel especially with no support aiding you in that process.

There was serious character growth for the teacher as he experienced trauma that destroyed most people in life and yet comes out better for it. It made me cry that he died right after he realised his love for Kai. He found a great friend from shota as he was comfortable with him and actually gave him some love advice.

Kai I felt was always rooting for the teacher as he wanted him to express his feelings from the start taking blame for a terrible act no one should have to face. At face value it seems he is uneducated and naive but he understands the world better than most people

A truly inspirational story that is light and full of comedy to make you laugh. I had little expectations considering I prefer darker genres but I am glad I put aside my prejudices and dived in.
The story brought everyone together through one 1 action a footballer did, through his leadership individuals dealt with their trauma and expectations throw at them.
The pacing was excellently executed with me never feeling like I got too much information at the time.
So-min was a great producer but needed to fix her personality of forcing interaction and emotion as it made her seem she only did it for the money and not the humanity of the task.

A complex romance that delves into reality and yet is quite accepted.

I quite liked the story of a more experienced actor supporting a newbie to the industry and yet the rehearsal is full of passion and love it becomes reality.
Their movie they created was the highlight as real issues came to play but no one realised so was an unique confrontation as the wife stated "you ruined your own life."

What I didn't enjoy was when the wife wad emasculated him all because of his actions that she saw, I felt she could've been more open and have an adult conversation about what they wanted.

I came for a toxic relationship, a relationship you should run from if you can, yet I was disappointed. The overall movie was pretty average with parts most bls have.
The characters I liked how they did both children then reunited them and their lobe as adults.

Lu Feng was my favourite but his way of navigating his finance was disrespectful to her as technically he did cheat on her. I wish we met her to get her view on the situation.
Xi Chen was the one I was rooting for as people misunderstood so wasn't as heard as the others. I loved the relationship with his brother as they were particularly close with each other so had support and love

Looking forward to part 2

I struggled to commit to watching the individual episodes so I turned to the movie -which is a rare occurrence for me- one sitting of everything.

I generally liked the characters but nine surprised me as I put Jim now as the playboy who is toxic so really should stay away from but he was sincere but still confused on why he decided to cut contact expecting running hugs and in love again straight away.
So I stand with Dao Nuea with wanting an explanation so he can deal with his feelings of hurt. On the other hand, I felt he was leading Tee on as his actions weren't always clear to understand so never truly understood Tee. This made with seem two-sided making me dislike him.

We never really see any of the other characters so sometimes got bored (I have loved dramas with a small cast but plot and detail have to make up for it which this didn't provide as it was meet, reunite, fight over dao nuea, get married happily ever after like a fairytale. LIFE IS NOT A FAIRYTALE.

Later I watched a few scenes and it is completely different. I understand if scenes were slightly altered but there are more characters and a different side couple

a chance that will dictate the rest of life

The live rivalries were too much for me as if seemed when 1 decided to give up the next came up so seemed like everyone was taking turns. Now the past incident, I found heartwarming as it really captured high school romance and what first love truly is.

The acting I felt everyone was a bit over the top when trying to achieve their goals as manipulative behaviour was being used and they had no consequences for them.

I don't quite believe the first rival just giving up as they've known each other for a while and know him quite deeply. The second one is more believable as if makes sense he was going nowhere

A very misleading name

I thought it would be a rom-com by the name which j am not a fan of so avoided it for a while until j got told kt was a medical drama.
The romance of the side couple was so awkward to watch with the guy getting rejected several times because of issues stem from money as she was a nurse and he was a doctor. I always wanted da eun to end up with her best friend something j usually hope doesn't happen so was a nice change
The actual drama was understandable and easy for me to follow with no medical knowledge giving me awareness of the many disorders out there and how it can affect individuals of different backgrounds.
The patient that died made me cry as I completely adored him as he was so sweet with da eun it broke my heart when he thought dying was the better option
