Sweet, fluffy and cute web drama!

so i was looking for smth light and cute to watch without much thought to it and this was totally the right choice... ngl In Yeop being part of it was a good reason for me to start it but im glad i decided to watch it bc it really turned out to be just what i was expecting!

the story is quite predictable but so much fun at the same time: the idea of four people that somehow end up being part of a drama college club named "Freshman". (the only complaint i have is that the episodes were too short and left me wanting more)

Being an In Yeop fan, i was surprised that his acting felt just as natural and professional as in True Beauty (not being biased here and u need to watch to know for urself lol)
"Yo, roommate, whassuup!"
"Okay, bye!" yall really should watch the show in order to witness these great lines :D

the Bromance/friendship: heh bruh both the MLs were sooo cute and the dynamic of a cool popular guy/ nerdy clumsy guy is MY shizz

watch this mainly for the eye candy and the quality bromance, u won't regret it :")

Wholesome BL series

I was surprised as i had no expectations when i started this show.. but let me tell u how joyful it was of an experience!

the story /plot is not smth new but the way it was interpreted and the roles played by all of the actors is what made this amazing..

tbh i could feel all the actors' emotions without having to try, their happiness, sadness, heartbreak, etc. all those raw emotions i just could feel them

at times, i felt like i am watching a reality show and invading their privacy, thats how much chemistry the two MLs have which makes me also extremely jealous ahah , seriously if u're looking for a wholesome BL show, this is it.

i salute the director and all the crew for their job, beautifully shot in such a clever way!

Amazing historical drama with amazing plot/story

So let's start by the best thing in this drama: the story, the cast and the Bromance.

i can confirm that i got quite bored at some times esp in the first half of the drama and ended up putting the drama on hold looking for motivation to finish it.. however, when i gave it another chance, i really loved the progression of events and i was kinda waiting for the identity of the King to be close to getting revealed bc i knew it was gonna get down lol which really happened. i still feel like the drama could have had less episodes

For the Bromance, i really admired the overall chemistry between the male characters and was not a big fan of the romance however. Just gotta love the dev of their relationship even in hardships. I kinda rewinded the majority of the Bromance moments if not all and have no regrets!

My fav characters are: Taehyung, Seo Ye Ji, Do Ji Han, Jo Yoon Woo, and Sung Dong Il. i mean i understand but WHY DID THEY HAVE TO MAKE ME CRY LIKE THAT WITH THE WAY TAEHYUNG DIES WAE WAE WAEEEE

Also the music was just PERFECT, like other historical dramas (even tho i havent watched that many) it leaves u with a bittersweet feeling after each ep i guess

this drama really is an emotional rollecoaster that i surprisingly enjoyed after going through so much to fully complete it

Massive trigger warnings!!!

I know everyone has already said it but there I am saying it again: before you decide to watch, you need to know that this may be a short series but it is VERY heavy and needs the BIGGEST trigger warnings.

So after watching many sweet cheesy BL series, I wanted a change and decided to check this out after reading the reviews. It sure was heavy on me and left an impact, however, it was a big slap for me to get back to reality. I don't even want to talk about the despicable acts that were portrayed in this but it did have some good things in it.

I loved how the main character got real support from his family and close friends who know him best. It just shows that only those who know you best will support you in hard times and that those who comment from afar surely know nothing. Another thing is platonic ships do exist and not every ship has to be sexual so THANK you to the director for showing that throughout the series (main character's friends). The character developpment in this was amazing, everyone is strong and can move on from whatever bad thing that happens to them, no matter what.

Now about the ending, everyone was talking about how it's not so good but for me I could somehow understand the director's pov as they wanted to show that pressure (from family, society and surroundings) can lead to damaging things affecting everyone around that person.

Just a small note before I end this review, if you truly love someone you may want to tell them to get away from social media because it sure will have a bad impact on your life.

A very interesting psychological and thriller drama

In my personal opinion, this drama deserves a higher rating in MDL (even tho many good dramas dont have that high of a rating here).

It is not for everyone considering the heavy feel throughout the entire 12 episodes. It is for people who watch a lot of real crime shows like me. So, to be convinced of this storyline, you need to research real life cult leaders with a criminal record and how powerful they can be in terms of affecting their victims’ decisions and lives in general. Here is a link that may help: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_leaders_convicted_of_crimes

This story immerses u into the hurtful cults and represents very well how one person (cult leader) can control several people no matter their sexuality, age, educational level and occupation. It shows how a cult leader can develop a quest to enhance his self-esteem to compensate for his own childhood, all by inflicting harm on others (showing his anti-social disorder).

Let’s just say that the cast of this masterpiece made it even more amazing. The more i watched the more i got sucked in to it.

Def not for the weak hearted

so i kinda needed smth intense and from the look of this drama i know that u could tell it is indeed intense.. it also is not for the weak hearted. I am used to watching horror and extreme shows but after finishing up this one nicely i feel like i need a drink to be able to get all what happened through my head.

what got to me is that the ML (ofc not our handsome villain) is indeed a very normal person at the start of the drama and i was doubting if Evil will win in this one as im used to angsty esp in this kind of dramas but Alas was i surprised by how STRONG the Evil side was and how it ended up winning.

Another thing i want to add is that this drama is somehow wholesome as it talks abt different subjects: Animal abuse, Mental illness, Sexual offence, etc. and then there's cannibalism like whew i was super shocked and disturbed at how not only did they consume but only gave out to others.. u know without getting into details......

Def not for rewatch to me but it was one heck of a ride and im proud of myself i finished it!

Try not to have a crush on Hyun Bin!

Well how do i even start: me and my friends had a bet to start watching this drama together as its rating was too high, and we def did not regret it!!!

First thing it brought was the fresh plot and dialogue then came the sizzling chemistry between the leads. I also want to add that this drama made me laugh so much as well as be emotional for the most part of it.

It portrays reality in a very reasonable way, and thank you to the director for giving us a realistic ending even though i felt so bad for the second couple. It had been a while since I last enjoyed a romance drama but this just made me enjoy it so much!

Be emotionally prepared!

This drama is way too beautiful that I could not stop watching it. Luckily I watched it until it stopped airing so i did not have to wait for the upcoming events.

It was an emotionnal rollercoaster to me but I enjoyed it just as much as I felt both happiness and sadness. If you are looking for something to enjoy in all aspects of life: family, relationship, love, hatred, friendship, physical and mental illness and so one, this is deffo highly recommended. If I had to describe it shortly, I'd say this is an aesthetically beautifully sad drama.

I also want to emphasize on the main actors acting: the main actress for portraying one of the most sensitive topis in the entire world: mental health. the main actor for showing the reality of family sacrifice. And lastly, but not least Oh Jung-se for showing that imperfection is the real beauty.

The OSTs were just too beautiful that I had to download them to my phone and listen to them whenever.

Truly a very beautiful unforgettable drama to me.

Original storyline and fantasy

I rarely enjoy imaginary stories and acts, however, this drama was just way too aesthetically pleasing and pretty that I couldn't help but finish it all. I remember watching it and waiting for the upcoming episodes impatiently.

I'd lie if I say I wasn't surprised by Yeo Jin-goo's acting; the role he had in this drama was so sensitive and I am so happy by the outcome.

We can't forget IU's costumes and how expensive she looked througout the entire drama.

I want to talk about the beautiful OSTs that were brought up by this, below are only some of them (my fav):
- Taeyeon (태연) - A Poem Called You 그대라는 시
- Heize (헤이즈) - Can You See My Heart 내 맘을 볼수 있나요
- Chung Ha (청하) - At The End 그 끝에 그대
- Song Haye (송하예) - Say Goodbye
- Gummy (거미) - Remember Me 기억해줘요 내 모든 날과 그때를
- Ben (벤) - Can You Hear Me 내 목소리 들리니
- Yang Da Il (양다일) - Only You 너만 너만 너만
