A Disappointment

This was so boring for me, and it’s a shame because I was really looking forward to seeing Kim Woo-bin make his comeback. I feel like with the high rating, maybe I’m wrong?? All I took away from this was people yelling, fighting, everyone being disappointed about one thing or another, when that wasn’t happening, they were eating. Not really any kind of love story with any physical affection. What was it? Well, it was very boring, with very little happening other than, like I said, yelling, fighting, disappointment, and eating. I would never sit through this again. As it was, I had it on fast forward from the 3rd episode, hoping it would get better. I should have just dropped it.

An Enjoyable Watch

Things that I love about this, is the simple plot, and the humor. It doesn’t feel like a chore to watch. I didn’t fast forwarded once, and that is saying something for me. Not a lot of thinking involved in watching this, it just feels kind of relaxing to watch. A perfect blend of humor, and serious subject matter. It is a simple love story with great acting, with a main love story, and a couple of side love stories thrown in. It started out as a 10 for me, but the last two episodes were kind of, I wouldn’t call it disappointing, but just frustrating. There was one long Dominos add, they fit into the story, that was very obvious. Also, they finally showed what Hong Du-Shik’s secret was. I won’t give it away, but let’s just say it was nothing for him to feel guilty about, nothing was specifically his fault. The ending wrapped everything up nicely too. I finally found out who won the lottery! Nothing left to guess about. This is a definite watch!

Watched part 1, gave it a 6.5, just watched part 2 gave it an 8. WOW, part 2 had a much better story line and better acting,. If you watched part 1 and didn’t like it, don’t stop, watch part 2. Ties up all loose ends from the first one. I won’t give the ending away, but if it had ended different, I think they would have ended up together. They both truly loved each other. But again, society and parent involvement split them apart. I get so irritated when parents in dramas and real life, have the opinion that things in life should be a certain way and force it on their children. It shouldn’t matter who children decide to love, marry or not marry, have kids or not. If everyone would have just left them alone and just let them love each other, everything would have turned out so different.

Keeps your interest

WOW, this was so good, I didn’t fast forward once, and I was glued to every scene. If you don’t like violence, revenge, bullies, kids fighting to be excepted for who they are, but are outcasts because of their family situation, fighting, (a lot of fighting), not the kind of ending you would have wanted, you shouldn’t watch this drama. Some good things… friendship, acceptance, revenge, bromance, and that’s about it. The acting, fight scenes, directing, and writing were all beyond great. It’s NOT the kind of drama that will put you in a good mood, especially the end. BUT I highly recommend it! I will say I cried through most of the last episode. Didn’t leave me with a good feeling, but I am really glad I watched it. I will definitely watch season 2, and I’m sure there will be one.

VERY LONG, but worth every minute

I have a very short attention span, so I put off watching this for a long time. I figured I would watch a few episodes and decide if I was going to actually be able to get through all 51 episodes. Well, it was a first for me, and I loved each and every minute of it. I binged watched it over the course of 4 days because it kept me on the edge of my seat. It had everything you would ever want in a drama, and I mean everything. I can not think of any emotion that wasn’t included the plot. The ending was what I was kind of expecting, so I had tissues on hand. I know it’s long, but it’s worth it. Take it from someone who even has a hard time getting through the normal 16 to 20 episode drama. I won’t watch it again though due to its length, but I absolutely loved it.

WTF!!

Like I said in the headline, WTF did I just watch?? I will say this is different than any other movie I’ve seen, but that’s not a good thing. No dialogue, yep you read that right, nothing. The acting was good. I guess rather than dialogue, you are supposed to just watch the emotions in their faces? There is gang rape, incest, castration, murder, suicide, sex, nudity, love, hate…. Just all very weird right up to the ending. Watch it if you are curious and don’t mind everything I’ve mentioned. But, I just can’t figure out why it was even written, directed and filmed. At least they didn’t need to hire a script writer.

Short And Sweet!!❤️❤️

This was just what I was in the mood for. I was able to watch it in one day, and didn’t fast forward through one minute of it. It’s a friends to lovers drama with laughter, and the main focus of the story was both leads. I’m so glad I watched this feel good Drama. And guess what…it had a great ending! An ending that I wanted, not a breakup, not each of them ending up with someone else, or an end that just kind of left you hanging. It was complete from beginning to end. . If you are looking for something short, not complicated, no major side actors and their stories, a feel good ending, I would highly recommend this!

Meaningful Overall

This is a very slow moving movie. One thing I will say, is the acting is the best I’ve seen, especially the child. The story, although slow, had a deep meaning that involves acceptance of yourself, and how much it means to you. It left me with mixed feelings. I didn’t particularly like the ending, although I read it as the characters moving on in their life. Like of a re- birth, so to speak. It is worth watching it for the superb acting. But as I mentioned at the outset, it is VERY slow moving, with many conversations and scenes that should have been shorter. I would call it a BL, but more implications of a BL. But if it was more physical, it wouldn’t have fit the story.

One of THE BEST dramas I have ever had the pleasure of watching, and I’ve watched many. The acting is outstanding, as is the plot. Of course Lee Joon Gi is pure eye candy and a versatile, excellent actor. It is basically about a present day, unhappy women, traveling back in time during an eclipse, to the Goryeo Dynasty in the year 941. She falls for one prince, but ultimately falls harder for the prince that is an outcast. She helps him rise to the top of the Dynasty, but loses him in the process. I don't want to give away any more and spoil it for future watchers. All I can say is I was riveted to each and every second, of each and every episode, and was sad when I finished it. I cried many times, and laughed many times, quite the roller coaster of emotions. I wish that a second season would be aired, but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. If you watch it, you’ll understand why it needs to be continued in present day.

Very short BL Drama

This Drama is only 6 episodes roughly under 15 minutes each. It really doesn’t have much of a plot other than 2 guys being attracted to each other. One checks into a Resort alone because the partner he was supposed to go with fell in love with someone else. The desk clerk who checks him in is attracted to him. They end up together in his Resort room. The drama doesn’t show it, but they obviously had sex, but I mean it didn’t show anything, not even kissing. Because it’s short, I found it worth the watch, but I wouldn't watch it again. If it was longer, I would have dropped it.

This BL drama just didn’t do it for me. I thought the story itself could have been great, but the way it was executed, it wasn’t. It seemed kind of choppy and all over the place. The acting was fair, and yes the 2 main leads are awesome looking, but that didn’t help the story. A good plot but poorly written. They fell in love when they were young, and were torn apart because of society and family. Met later in life, and the love was re-ignited. Ending was left hanging, now I’m on to part 2. Hopefully it will tie up loose ends left by part 1. I’ll review that after I watch it. Im hopeful...

I enjoyed the BL drama, but I’ve seen better. There were a few parts that kind of dragged on. The 2 male leads were a good match, with good acting. Especially Ian Pangilinan who played Vladimir. He was a natural with great facial expressions, and great line delivery. It’s a drama about two guys meeting, one accepts that he is gay, the other doesn’t. One came out, the other one isn’t ready to even admit he is gay. The last 3 or4 episodes were the best, but that’s usually the way. With 8 episodes, only a half hour each, it’s definitely worth watching. The ratings in the reviews are pretty much all high, with a lot of them being 10. I was torn between a 7.5 or an 8, but settled on the 7.5. I guess I’m comparing it to other BL dramas I’ve seen.

Not bad, but not good either…

I don’t know why this was advertised as a BL, it’s more like a bromance. The ending seemed rushed, these two had no physical contact at all, and parts were confusing. Any kind of love story, straight or gay, has SOME physical contact. The acting was good, everything else could have been better. This had so much potential because the actual plot/story/idea was good, but not carried out good. Was it the writing, producing, directing, or all of the above, but it was just OK. I really don’t understand some of the good reviews. The only thing I can think of is maybe they have nothing else to compare it to?? To me, if you watch a lot of BL’S, this is very mediocre.

Very Different Plot, But Very Good!

STRONGBERRY, you did it again! This is a really, cute, well acted Drama, right up there with Long Time No See. The dog and cat coming back into Jung Woo’s life is really creative. The actors cast to play the cat and dog are perfect. I am so looking forward to the last episodes, because I’m not really sure how this will end. I usually have some kind of idea, but with this I’m not sure. This definitely has some sad moments, romantic moments, along with happy and funny moments too. I will edit this with my final review after I watch the last episode. But so far, so good!

Just watched episode 10, so good!! Looking forward to the last episode 11. I suggest anyone watching the Drama, go on You Tube, and watch the interview clips. One of the clips is about Choco and Milk’s journey back to earth, and how and why it all happened.

Finished the series, and I thought it had a great happy ending! I really wasn’t sure it would, until the last half of the last episode. This is what I like about Stongberry, their Dramas don’t leave you hanging or completely devastated. You feel good after watching them, and that is what this Drama did! A very enjoyable watch!

INTENSE

Before you even start to watch this, be in the right state of mind, and know what to expect. What not to expect…any kind if romance, comedy or love. What to expect…frustration, betrayal, blood, death, very heavy plot, murder, suspense, revenge, remorse, excellent acting, and an excellent plot that was well written, produced and directed. With all that in mind, this drama does not leave you feeling good. It is the kind of drama that will be with you a while, if you know what I mean. If you are up to feeling total frustration as you watch a drama, this is the one for you. I’m not trying to talk anyone out of watching this, just be prepared for the wild ride.
