I'm not disappointed with the series / the story but I'm very disappointed with the ending.

1. Twisted genre - first episodes are very funny. I was laughting so hard that my stomach hurted as hell. The last episodes were so sad. Seriouslly. I couldn't breath. I was choking on my tears.
AT FIRST I thought that it would be a great series since it was suppose to be a comedy. Unfortunantelly I got very dissapointed with the ending.
Just how could they do this ?! Why?! Oh, please... I really can't believe that producert had killed the main character - Just why?

2. Actors and acting... I fell in love in Kim (First) and Khem (Ohm). They vere amazing in their role. For a moment I thought that Kim was real and not just a character.
In reality I like this series a lot because it so colorful, playful, joyful, and it is a really nice comedy but... they ending is actually the worst they could ever make! The killed the main character! They killed the ship (this series was about that ship so why did they destroy it?)

Too good to skip ...

At first, when I started watching Dark Blue Kiss, the story was cool, but in the meantime I got bored and stopped. After some time I had the chance to watch this series again ... Honestly! It was amazing!

Actors were handsome and talented, and the story grew even more exciting and interesting with each episode. The best for the end : the end of the show was a hit! I couldn't stop laughing, I even turned all red...
Sun & Mork is my favorite couple in this series, and it is thanks to them that I will definitely watch this series again one day. As for me, Mork and Sun were hilarious with their love and sweetness towards each other.

I definitely love this series and I would certainly recommend all BL fans to watch it.

Surprise :)

At first I wasn't sure about this series because I don't really like Sitcoms, but I decided to watch it because of the actor that I got to favor very much (Lay) after I watched his other series in with he played. I watched this series and that surprised me but I really fell in love in this story . . . I was so into it that I almost cried when the end of season have come.
Everything in the series was funny and interesting. The main "couple" Pun and Nott were so lovely that I really wish to see more of them in the upcoming season. I can't wait to see what will happen next between them and so of course I'm curious about the rest of characters story.
Simply "This series made my day happy by laughting to the level of almost dying out of breath :D"

Surprisingly, a really good series ✨

I'll be honest, before I decided to watch "Pending Train '' I was reluctant as it seems as "low budget" series but since I was bored and Yuki Yamada who played Naoya Kayashima caught my interest with his unusual hairstyle I started watching it. I was ready to give up after episode 1 but surprisingly I watched it till the end. It was just such a great plot story. They didn't crash with their plane or ship but instead it was about a supernova explosion. It was a first for me and I'm very satisfied with this difference. 

The main actors played their roles very well. Yuki Yamada and Eiji Akaso were a perfect contradiction to each other - Naoya (who was played by Yuki) was rational but explosive, mysterious but obviously kind while Yuto (who was played by Eiji) was calm and heroic but also naive and idealistic. Those two created a  dynamic that completes each other. 
* Not gonna lie they even gave a nice and satisfying bromance vibe sometimes ?

The three things that were (for me) disappointing were:
1️⃣ Not enough episodes - causing most of the actors (meaning about 20+ actors) to turn into background characters. Only a few got somewhat enough screen time to be considered side characters.

2️⃣ Too many background characters or actually too many unnecessary characters to begin with - most of them were like moving manekenes. Some had potential for more screen time and better plot, but the way the past was shown was just pitiful. Sure, Naoya and Yuto got a rather decent explanation of their past but others? Not so really... There were many elders and there was a second train carriage with another 20+ characters and from all 40+ characters I remember 8-9 characters got their past explained. Big difference, isn't it?

3️⃣ Annoying Female lead - she was like an empty vessel that put close to nothing into the story, neither she came with any ideas nor was she useful in any way to ease the situation they all were put in. From my point of view she was all around the two male leads just to talk with them and get these characters past explained to the audience. Other than that she was naive and blindly followed her "hero" as well as was always ready to go into potential danger like a moth flying to the light (straight into the moth trap). I get it she wanted to play hero and help/save her hero but she had nothing to keep herself safe in any way or form. Even her past was lacking - it was said she was saved but that's about it, there is nothing more said about her.

Additionally, something that I realized is that this series doesn't have a Love Triangle! ??
I was surprised with how the three main characters (better known as two male leads and one female lead) gave at the beginning the vibe of the typical vibe of 2 ML and 1 FM. But apparently it wasn't the case here. Shirahama didn't love Hatano and Hitano didn't love Shirahama. Their relationship was barely friends. Shirahama saved Hatano  and Hatano looked up to him but that's about it. Main reason why Shirahama wasn't anywhere near falling in love with MF was because he already loved someone else (the restaurant girl) and Hatano? Like I said before, she was an empty vessel and only started to develop real feelings towards Kayashima  when she "saw" him (she realized he is real, has feelings, is doing good, is trying, is existing). Kayashima was developing his feelings towards FM from the start but was far from admitting it because he felt like FM was in love with Shirahama - because she was always following him like a lost child. 

I guess the ending was something that also slightly disappointed me though not as much as the earlier mentioned three points. It was an open ending. Depending on what the Professor's reaction could mean it defined the ending with was either the world ended or it was saved. Of course my first assumption was "it worked and the world got saved" but the Professor's reaction could mean he was mocking his life and gave up... so yeah, it was unknown. 

I believe if the series had more young characters (15-35) but less characters overall as well as had more episodes it would be much better ??

The series "Tumbling" is definitely a series that surprised me~

The actors played their respective characters nicely and didn't give off the vibe of them being someone else who they "were" supposed to be. The story was very satisfying and I'm not gonna lie, it caused me to lose a few tears. After all, it was an amazing series with touching moments. The series showed a group of nine young men who had dreams and decided to seize it, together - they showed they can do tumbling too as men, as people who enjoy this kind of sport and felt no shame of doing that. They were like a perfect example of people who dream of something and go for it, they ignore the public opinion and give their all for their dream! It was so beautiful to watch a series like this ?

The characters however weren't all about working for the tournament, only tumbling and getting bullied because of it. They actually expressed and awoke many feelings like insecurity, sadness, anger and frustration as well as happiness, satisfaction, joy and hope. They showed a beautiful friendship developing, team loyalty and faithfulness, even showed moments that touched LGBT themes. Each one of them had their past and with the story they were developing together thanks to each other and things that brough them as a team/group. 

The actors through their respective characters showed to us, the audience, that no matter what, we are all humans. We may showe we are strong and won't give up but deep down we feel so many kind of emotions there are moments when we want to give up but because there are people around us, be it friends, family or fans we always find some light in the dark tunnel and go after it with hope for the better future. 

The only thing I was wondering about was whether these actors had experience in tumbling or did they learn for the series. Sure, most of the movements were on the ground with hand movements and jumping on the spot or around but they also had done a few slightly or more dangerous movements like flips, backflips, handstands, arches, etc. That's why after the series I watched the bloopers and their preparations and I was satisfied to see how hard they worked but at the same time had some fun and were capable of joking between each other ✨

Honestly, I'm not entirely satisfied.

Sure, the groups' performances were great - their singing, dancing, facial expressions, costumes and the enormous effort that each group put into it. They showed us something that we can't see in their music videos (MVs). Things like sweating, crying, making mistakes, stressing and working on performances that we don't normally get to witness, but here we were given something to appreciate. The interactions between the groups and the way the 3rd generation of kpop guided the younger generation was priceless.
But honestly, if it weren't for Stray Kids, who I've been a fan of since their debut, I wouldn't have watched it at all. However, although I cried with happiness when Stray Kids won, I felt dissatisfied with the actual result. Stray Kids did deserve the victory - no doubt about that, because they won thanks to hard work and their creativity. The entire show however focused more on fan voting than "survival". But that doesn't surprise me at all because the bigger the audience, the richer the show is, and the more popular the show is, the more money they make from it. Some may say that Stray Kids didn't deserve to win because they didn't get the best votes from the judges, but those people forgot that this particular episode was intended to give the groups feedback and help them learn from their mistakes, which I really liked as a viewer. The way these groups advanced after this episode was so damn satisfying that I can't even put it into words of wisdom XD.

The most depressing thing about the program were the sad moments where the people self blame themselves for mistakes, as well as the constant stress and anxiety. The fact that they all had to devote literally half a year to this performance, composing and setting everything up while being active idols made it exhausting to watch. Imagine how these six wonderful groups felt? But then came the most amazing part of the show, the Unit Round, during which two groups were formed: "It's One" (IKON, SF9, TheBoyz) and "Mayfly" (Stray Kids, BtoB, Ateez). The performances of these Units amazed me and I literally had to watch the performances several times because of how great they were.

But the ones that caught my eye the most were, of course: 
- Stray Kids - "God's Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" - I don't know what was more shocking: a tribute to DeadPool or a giant tank or the hot abs of a cute brownie boy? 
- Mayfly – “Wolf”, “Love Poem”, “Colours” – I admit I'm crazy for them all! 
- It’s One – “Spark” – I got goosebumps listening to and watching their performance!
- IKON - "Classy Savage" - special moment performed by LISA from BlackPink herself.
- SF9 - "Move" - wow, their performance...!!! so damn sexy!
- TheBoyz - "The Stealer" - I didn't expect a ballet breakdown at all.
- Stray Kids - "Pray" (Stray Kids version of "I'll Be Your Man" by BtoB) - I couldn't take my eyes off the screen because of how captivating the story plot was!!
- Ateez - "Wonderland" - the ship, kraken and Jongho with the flag was really amazing.

The worst thing for me as a viewer was that even though I am Stay 24/7, I am also a multi-fan. Groups like IKON, BtoB which were one of my first groups when I started listening to Kpop along with BigBang, Shinee and SuperJuniora and SF9's whose songs I love a lot and Ateez who I support (especially Wooyoung)... seeing them perform and get evaluated was both exciting and stressful at the same time. Same with TheBoyz who although I wasn't familiar with, I was rooting for them - the most during Sports Day because they were so hilarious XD. 

I watched these groups tremble with fear, have panic attacks behind the camera, exhaust themselves, hurt their bodies and it all was killing me but at the same time it made me proud of all of them. And even though it's not a perfect show, it's worth watching plus it's not a secret I've re-watched it about ten times...
