A FLAWED MASTERPIECE

Hmm.. it's such a strange drama. A weird drama. WHY?

Well, I always thought that with bad writing, the story will be very difficult to follow. But I was wrong. Very very wrong.

The last 3 episodes had one of the most MEDIOCRE writing I've ever witnessed in my days of watching kdramas ever.

However, the PERFORMANCE of the cast and STORY was just too good to make this drama a BAD one. So much so...that I'm EMBARASSED to say that it's a good drama that was WORTH the time to watch.

This drama reminded me of the past Kdramas that used to air back in the day. Dramas where the rich 'chaebol' ML falls in love with a 'cinderella' kinda FL and then loses his memory and so on. What they did here was just a gender swap but the execution of it was so good.

MAYBE we need to bring in the VINTAGE stuff back. However, with proper execution and BETTER writing (Emphasis on this tho).

A solid 9.0 from me. A hugely FLAWED drama but still a MASTERPIECE

This is all meaningless conservative propaganda. If you're different then you're the villain lol seriously the only people with any integrity were Win and Sprite and they were both not shown in a positive light. Tor's character had integrity too in the beginning when he was with Sprite but then he becomes .. wait for it... A LITERAL MONK and joined the rest of the self-righteous clan. Serious WTF storyline. And the BL story like most characters in the show they act on a whim, you don't feel them actually bonding mostly because of the lack of a good script and shoddy direction. So I couldn't care about any of the relationships because there was no chemistry, nothing. No on screen bonding especially for the BL story. It's like the creators saw SKINS (my favorite show btw idc what you think) and wanted to make it edgy and dark but they don't really understand anything because this is clearly the work of an immature mind. And okay I always say this, I 've always had a problem with SOTUS 'bullying is good for you' bs but I still don't rate it low because the couples got chemistry and the couple's parts are done so well and the script and direction is good otherwise. Because yes Hormones could have become SOTUS but the COUPLES WERE ALL SO BORING. I had to keep myself from falling asleep lol at least Win Sprite and Tor in the beginning were interesting characters, the other characters TOTAL SNOOZE FEST. And i know Hormones gets compared with Gloomy Salad Days so I'm going to tell you what I think. GSD is nuanced, and has heart. Hormones isn't even guilty pleasure ecxept for a few scenes. GSD might look low budget but it feels like a cult classic whereas Hormones is just shallow and unremarkable. Okay there you have it. Sorry to everyone who liked it, I know im being harsh.

Has its flaws, but still brilliant

(spoilers)
There's so much to love about Vincenzo: the acting, the killer music, the comedic moments interspersed with intense drama, the action scenes, the contemplation on good vs evil and the nature of justice. Song Joong Ki is at his peak in this drama, making the titular character shine in all his complexity and moral ambiguity. He makes the show what it is and continues to prove that he is a force to be reckoned with on the screen. Jeon Yeo Bin was a new face to me, but I was in love with her within five minutes of meeting her. She's unlike any FL I've seen in a Kdrama to date, and Jeon Yeo Bin masterfully captures her playfulness, her deep determination, and her messy morals. Taecyeon was a brilliant villain, even if his star started to fade a bit toward the end, and Kwak Dong Yeon (another new name to me) stole every scene he was in with his fantastic acting and the complexity he brought to what could have been a very forgettable role as the younger Jang brother.
I do feel that the writers were a bit too generous with Vincenzo. A tight plot and story is all about balancing characters' wins and losses, and quite frankly Vincenzo got a few too many wins. Song Joong Ki did a stunning job with the script, but there was certainly room in the second half of the show for more setbacks, more give and take between Vincenzo and Jang Han Seok. When the protagonist is constantly outsmarting and outmaneuvering the supposedly terrifying, psychopathic villain, it's easy to get comfortable and lose some of the momentum built early on. Jang Han Seok and Choi Myung Hee, both incredibly compelling villains early on, were readily admitting they were no match for Vincenzo well before the end of the show, and failed to anticipate any of Vincenzo's moves or even have much of a plan of their own beyond reacting to whatever he threw at them. I wanted to see Vincenzo really, truly threatened, to see him defeat a powerful villain after a grueling and satisfying battle, but instead, in his own words, he was the cat and Jang Han Seok/Choi Myung Hee were the mice. (For example, for seemingly no other purpose than pissing Vincenzo off, they murder his mother, and are then shocked when he of course retaliates immediately and brutally? How did that murder fit into their larger plans? Why do it at that moment?)
I have other little qualms with the story of course, but overall this was an addictive, intense, entertaining drama that I would definitely recommend for Song Joong Ki and Jeon Yeo Bin alone. If you're looking for morally gray characters who fight evil with evil, or if you just want a fun, action-packed, edge-of-your-seat story, this is a must-see.

Red Balloon is technically the “Parasite” drama version

Red Balloon is the “Parasite” drama version. This one sentence can give you a whole idea of what would be unfolded throughout the series. It started off with a typical loyal friendship between Han Ba-da and Jo Eun-Kang. 20 years of friendship between two different worlds. What a journey.

While Ba-da has a successful life with a perfect husband and a daughter to be proud of, Eun-Kang is still struggling to find a good match for her. Apparently, she’s dating Kwon Tae-Ki, a young man who has been living off her while ignoring her existence. I almost dropped this drama in the earlier episodes because I can’t stand Eun-Kang’s ignorance, especially about her boyfriend.

I honestly can’t stand stupid main leads. It is such a turn-off. I mean, yes, we can be desperate to get married. Since Eun-Kang is already 37, I understand her desperation, but to allow someone to take advantage of you to that extent. I’m just baffled. (While I hope no one out there is as stupid as Eun-Kang when in a relationship). Please don’t let men manipulate your life.

Just when I thought Eun-Kang’s sister, Jo Eun-San is the most sensible one in the family, she proved me wrong again when she started seducing a married man. Her intention may be right but her method is wrong when she technically throws herself at the man.

Both Jo and Go's families are a complete mess, entangled in complicated and endless scandals. Personally, I think the root of the problem is the Lonely Grandpa. He is so overprotective of his family, controlling everyone in the house, including his son-in-law, Ji Nam-Cheol.

As the plot thickens with a few misunderstandings here and there, leading Ba-da and Eun-Kang to misunderstand each other until Eun-Kang resorts to betraying her own friend. I think the real drama begins in episode 15.

Some good values you can learn from this drama are; Eun-Kang’s family, no matter how worse the situation they get themselves into, they remain strong together as a family, and Han Ba-da’s forgiving nature. Despite what Eun-Kang did to her, she’s still being rational, thinking about the good deeds Eun-Kang had done to help her over the past 20 years.

Ending with ‘friendship’ value wins, with an open ending or maybe hinting for the second season, which I hope nope.

non è così memorabile come pensassi ma super okay

Ricordo ancora quando uscirono i trailer della gmmtv previsti per il 2023 e vidi quello di Dangerous Romance. Ricordo ancora la sensazione provata: Chimon è un mio amato, protetto, e per questo non stavo aspettando altro se non vederlo come protagonista di una serie (non che prima non fosse stato protagonista, lo è stato alcune volte ma in serie come “The Gifted” e “Blacklist” dove i protagonisti sono tanti, invece io volevo vederlo proprio come in questa serie), per questo motivo ero su di giri, emozionatissima.

La cosa che mi ha lasciato un pò nel dubbio era l’accoppiata chimon/perth che uddio non avrei mai pensato di vedere ed era una novità assoluta, per questo ho avuto un pò di paura su come sarebbero potute andare le cose a livello di intendimento e chimica, ma diciamo che alla fine non me n’è fregato più di tanto perchè ho pensato “vabbè tanto è una serie scolastica, sarà soft”, ps.non sapevo quello che dicevo e in effetti non potevo saperlo.
Quindi visto il primo trailer ero uscita pazza, la storia mi faceva impazzire e, più di tutte le serie presentate, l’aspettavo da morire.

Dopo quasi un anno di attesa finalmente fecero uscire il secondo trailer e la storia mi faceva lo stesso impazzire, poi ho amato come abbiano aggiustato alcune cose riguardo gli abiti, l’ambientazione e vari oggetti di scena, perché rispetto al primo trailer, quelli del secondo sembravano più adatti al loro personaggio. Tipo, per esempio, la moto di Kang nel primo trailer era una bicicletta normale, mentre nel secondo moto di lusso, e questa risulta essere decisamente più appropriata per il suo personaggio.

In generale devo dire che l’hype che mi ero creata per questa serie era decisamente elevato, per questo se dovessi rispondere alla domanda “La serie è memorabile come ti aspettavi?” io risponderei con “Sni”, perchè uddio sarò sincera dicendo che la serie di per sé è molto bella ma bho ci sono alcune cose che non mi convincono e poi, come già detto, mi ero creata un hype gigante, praticamente assurdo. Quindi nel complesso ci sta.
Trovo questa trama qualcosa di pochetto nuovo, già solo il fatto dell’innamorasi del proprio bullo sembra essere una cosa assurda.
Diciamo che possiamo etichettare la loro storia d’amore come un "enemies to lovers”, anche se è molto più suittabile con la coppia secondaria, loro proprio perfetti per questa etichetta.

Nei primi episodi inutile dire che Kang proprio non se poteva, i nervi veramente, mentre Sailom è sempre stato super rispettabile e intelligente.
Che poi Sailom è super inaspettato perchè cazzo chi avrebbe mai potuto pensare finisse per baciare Kang. Infatti quella scena è stata la migliore per me, tutto ciò che stava accadendo era ingiustissimo e assurdo a livello di bullismo ma cazzo se Sailom è intelligente perché dio santo in quella situazione con tutti quei telefoni che registrano e tutta quella gente, è una genialata voler ripagare con la stessa moneta il tuo bullo. Kang voleva mettere in imbarazzo e far perdere la dignità a Sailom e Auto, invece Sailom gliel'ha rivoltata contro baciandolo lui stesso, in sta maniera la dignità persa e l’imbarazzo va a Kang, ASSURDO COME SIA STATO FANTASTICO, ero rimasta a bocca aperta, inaspettato.
La prima scena “seria” è stata quella in cui Kang decide che è buono andare a casa di Sailom con una pistola, devo dire maturità a mille (sono sarcastica ovviamente), però dai se non fosse andato non avrebbe trovato Sailom in quella situa e non avrebbe potuto incominciare a capire che era una merda di persona; la scena in sè era molto bella.
Poi col fatto del tutoraggio ecc penso si siano capiti meglio e anche conosciuti meglio, arrivando così a creare dei sentimenti per l’altro.
In effetti non capivo come Sailom si fosse mai potuto innamorare per primo perchè cazzo dico io ti ha letteralmente bullizzato, ma dopo l’ultimo episodio ho capito il perchè. Quando Kang gli ha dato l’ombrello e Sailom aveva visto che era quello di quel bambino, vedendo quella scena per la prima volta non ho pensato così in profondo ma mi sa che avrei dovuto, perchè letteralmente chi se l’aspettava che bambino com’era, si fosse innamorato già allora di Kang. Quindi è ovvio che il processo di innamoramento è stato più veloce del previsto.
Nel frattempo sono diventati sempre più vicini e hanno capito meglio ciò che prova l’altro riguardo varie situazioni, come nel caso di Kang con il padre. In sto caso io in primis non mi sento di capirlo ma so che è una cosa molto personale. Dal mio punto di vista, com’è la mia vita, avere genitori senza aspettative è meglio perchè sento la pressione di tutto; ma ciò non dice che magari ci siano persone come Kang che in realtà sentono questo bisogno, oltre al fatto che per la mancata presenza genitoriale ci capiamo tanto.
L’unica cosa che trovo crudele da parte di Kang è il catapultare tutto il suo dolore facendo del male agli altri, posso capire tutto e sinceramente capisco pure che il primo ad averti insegnato e dimostrato che con i soldi hai potere su tutto è tuo padre, ma comunque un minimo di empatia ci dovrebbe essere, quindi non so cosa pensare di preciso.
Quando poi c’è stata la situazione in cui ci hanno presentato il triangolo amoroso, io scioccata da quanto fosse perfetto. Penso sia la prima serie in cui vedo un triangolo amoroso che risulta essere un vero triangolo, ogni volta ti danno sempre che B e C si contengono la conquista di A, che poi spezzerà un cuore.
Invece noi abbiamo: Sailom ama Kang ma questi ama Pimfah che però ama Sailom, in tutto ciò è da ricordare che Kang non sa decifrare i suoi veri sentimenti per Sailom e li nasconde da se stesso con la sua cotta per Pimfah. Un casino.
Che poi cazzo in sto triangolo tutti hanno spezzato il cuore a tutti ahahaha mi sembra assurdo. Perché letteralmente quell’episodio fu un disastro a livello mentale per tutti loro, perché sono stati tutti rifiutati dall’altro.
Infatti ci sono rimasta male anche io e sono rimasta un pò scioccata dal fatto che Kang sia effettivamente arrivato a capire i suoi sentimenti, quella scena è stato fuoco ma in effetti volevo anche picchiare Kang ahahah perchè aiuto tutta quella gelosia uddio poi l’ha portato nel bagno e con tutta la delicatezza della vita ha deciso che la migliore maniera per dirgli che lo ama è baciarlo. Applausi a Kang per le sue scelte molto avventate (sempre sarcastica).
Dai però poi mi è piaciuta un botto la scena in cui si è dichiarato nella maniera giusta, quella scena l’ho amata con tutta me stessa. Era così carino dietro la porta che ha detto a Sailom “Se accetti apri la porta” e aiuto il suo sguardo sorpreso e felice nel vedere che Sailom l’avesse veramente aperta.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HO AMATO
Poi che carino che ha fatto di tutto per piacere agli amici di Sailom e si è anche scusato con loro per quello che in passato gli aveva fatto.
Lì per lì sarò sincera ho sentito molto la sensazione che stessero cercando di farci dimenticare completamente che schifezza fosse Kang e che dovesse particolari scuse a tutte le persone, sembrava che fossero passati da lui bullo a lui santissimamente santo in due secondi in un certo senso. Ma vabbè non ne faccio una questione che nelle serie non è che si possano soffermare più di tanto su ste cose.
Inutile dire, poi, che se mi aveva fatto impazzire la scena in cui si è dichiarato seriamente, quella in cui Sailom ha accettato mi ha fatta proprio morire.
Dai come si può non amare Kang tutto felice che quasi non ci credeva AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Probabilmente le uniche scene che ho realmente amato nella serie ahahah.
Vabbè che loro stavano nella loro fase k-drama.
Poi un disastro col fatto del fratello di Sailom, l’hanno fatto troppo buono e altruista, non credevo fosse stato lui ma il problema era cosa avrebbe mai potuto pensare Kang.
Infatti all’inizio in ospedale ho amato che abbia detto a Sailom “Superiamola insieme” ma dopo pochi secondi ha saputo che era stato il fratello di Sailom e quindi adios.
Mi avevano fatto gioire per un secondo dato che finalmente vedevo qualcuno che non dà la colpa al fidanzatx per una cosa fatta da un suo parente, ma vabbè non posso lamentarmi perchè lo capisco, alla fine è stato difficilissimo per lui ignorare Sailom perchè lo ama troppo.
Infatti da lì è stato tutto un pò sulle spine ma preso atto del suo amore troppo profondo, non poteva fare altro che stare vicino a Sailom e supportarsi a vicenda.
Alla fine tutto una meraviglia per la loro storia, mi è piaciuto tanto il loro amore molto profondo, soprattutto quello di Kang che si è pigliato pure la pallottola per Sailom; alla fine risulta essere quella tipica storia da liceali ma devo dire che ci sono alti e bassi particolari e insoliti per questo tipo di drama, quindi ha del nuovo nel format; che poi esagerata la reazione di molti al fatto che avessero messo una scena di loro che lo stanno per fare e quindi tutti scioccati per l’età dei personaggi quando poi in realtà quell’età è diciamo quella di base per un pò tutti, ma vabbè.

La cosa che non mi è piaciuta è decisamente la caratterizzazione del personaggio di Sailom.
Per me è semplicemente un no dal punto di vista del suo ambiente, ceh adoro com’è di personalità ma odio come abbiano sottolineato il suo essere povero.
Si okay è povero ma non c’è bisogno che me lo ripeti sia a parole che con azioni da parte degli altri personaggi un milione di volte, sottolineandolo in tutti i modi possibili. Non mi serve tutto ciò, non c’è bisogno di tutto questo impegno perché a na certa pareva na caritas.
Quindi questo esageratissimo. Per non parlare del perché abbiano fatto chiedere mille volte a Kang se Sailom lo avesse amato se non avesse avuto soldi, mado troppo.
Quindi questo è un no.

Un altro mezzo no è la loro accoppiata, proprio degli attori, perché ci sono scene in cui li ho amati insieme e altre in cui semplicemente non riuscivo a vederli assieme, per esempio quelle di bacio in bocca (erano meglio quelle dei baci sulla guancia), oppure le scene che sarebbero dovute essere “hot” NO, semplicemente no (es. l’ultima scena, odiata).
Vabbè opinione mia, poi ognuno pensa quel che vuole.

Riguardo la coppia secondaria amati solo perché incarnano perfettamente l’ "enemies to lovers”, ma poi in realtà erano parecchio belli dai.

Invece odio per la cosa mezza indiretta di Pimfah con la prof, perchè una è studentessa e una è prof (troppa età, non mi piace sta romanticizzazione), e la cosa mezza indiretta di Saifah e Name, perchè okay tutto quello che volete ma uno ha letteralmente mandato in prigione l'altro con la minaccia che avrebbe fatto male al fratello se non si fosse preso la colpa, dai non se può, è un no, non riesco a vederli assieme.
I
n conclusione, la trama è top se solo non fosse sembrata più bella nel trailer ma no big deal, le coppie super okay e carine, la storia dei personaggi + vari insegnamenti tutto molto okay, pecca per alcune cose riportate prima e per il fatto che loro insieme non li riesco a prendere sul serio ahahah cosa mia.
In generale consiglio molto questa serie, merita.

+il voto in realtà sarebbe più un 8/8.5 ma gli metto 9 solo perchè ci tengo tanto.

Let's play "count the flies"...there were a LOT.

First of all, regardless of what the inspiration for this Kdrama was, do not expect anything like (or remotely close to) Killing Eve. For me, that wasn't a bad thing at all. This drama is expertly done, the characters are so well written and the interactions between all the characters are packed with so much chemistry. I've seen some less than positive reviews, but I honestly don't know what left field they came from because this drama is so engaging and well done.

The main villain was really appealing, I totally bought her 100% as the bad guy, she was absolutely insane but in the most pleasant way to watch. The music that played whenever she was going crazy was so memorable and felt exactly what her head must have felt like while she was high on the darkness within. The entire OST was really expertly crafted and matched the scenes perfectly.

The main and side characters were all interesting, there was a lot of humor, and the evil darkness of the plot was so colorfully presented with such rich character interactions. But above everything else, the FL was spectacular. Out of every single minute of the drama there was only one tiny scene at the end where I didn't buy her performance, and it was super super minor. In every other moment of this drama her character is so expertly depicted, I never once felt like her behavior was unrealistic at all. Her interactions with every single character in the drama absolutely made the show successful.

To the dude who scoffed at the dirty gamer chick aspect of things, it isn't just guilt that makes someone like this, it's depression. Living in filth, obsessing over an intricate hobby, failing to bathe, drinking, generally not caring about the world around you, these are all massive signs of depression and I thought the drama did a great job of portraying them. 500% better than dragging someone out of the gutter and having them be suddenly competent and successful. This was, in my mind, completely realistic and very much mirrors how some people deal with grief. Something like the suicide of a spouse destroys most people left behind, and I think it would have been disingenuous to represent it otherwise.

I rated this drama really highly not just because it impressed me so much while watching it, but also because the stories and OST stuck with me long after the drama had ended. I really hope there's a season 2 so we can figure out Santa's whole deal. I'm really glad the show didn't focus on "fixing the broken person" but instead molded itself around her like a blanket, allowing her to retain her eccentricities without trying to force her into some societal mold of what a functional human being should be.

This One Was ...... Different

This isn't your typical drama.

As I watched this, I wondered how much of the Webtoon story the Producers and Writers retain for the Drama because the story has some definite problematic issues.

Song Kang probably had a hard time portraying this character and I do not for one bit fault his acting. Sun-oh was ...different, pushy in a way that can be a turn-off. Buuuuut, I didn't hate him, and that's probably why this drama gets an Overall 8 for me. I was still rooting for their relationship with Kim Jojo. I thought Jojo did not have a legit reason for the breakup...I mean for the level of heartbreak involved, hers was too flimsy a reason. Otherwise, this drama drew me in completely. I am glad I waited for both Season 1 and 2 to air before starting because I do not know how I could have endured the wait.

Vicenzo - A rare drama which deserves 10/10

This is the first time i am posting a review. I couldnt help but write one after i finished watching Vincenzo. I have only one word to describe this drama - MINDBLOWING!!
The drama is a blend of everything - action , suspense , comedy , tragedy , romance, u name it. They are all well balanced and complement each other perfectly.

STORY -
The storyline is in such a way that it keeps us hooked to the last second. Its filled with unexpected friendships and betrayals. Unlike many other dramas, u will never get bored while watching it. It never once dragged. This is one of the biggest advantages of this drama.
The drama clearly shows us the real way of the world. It shows us how humans are greedy, selfish, corrupt and manipulative. It shows us the fragility of our laws and justice. It gives us the idea that only evil can eradicate evil.
But even when portraying such serious issues, it never became too dark or too boring thanks to the hilarious situations in between. The balance among them was just perfect.

ACTING/CAST -
Every character in this drama was worth remembering, even the smallest of the roles. Each and everyone did their best.
The chemistry btw Song Joon Ki and Jeon Yeo Been was so gud that it easily grow on u. Even though romance is not the main genre of this drama, u cant help but fall in love with this couple. The character development was so smooth - it was neither fast nor slow. Whether it was as friends, partners or lovers, they were perfect for each other.( And lets admit it, SJK with a gun- WOW😍)
Some special mentions:
○ Guemga family- Everyone in the Guemga plaza was unique and full of surprises. They are one of the main reasons for the success of this drama.
○ Jang Han Seo - Started as an enemy, ended as a brother. U cant help but sympathise with this character. Kwok Dong Yeon did a great job in playing this character.
○ Inzaghi - Even though its just a bird , it played an irreplaceable character in this drama. The drama would have been incomplete without it.

MUSIC -
This drama has a great collection of music. Every ost was just perfect for the scenes. The fusion of Italian music was catchy and the cherry on top for this drama.

REWATCH -
Vincenzo is the kind of drama that u cant get enough of. U cant help but rewatch it again!! Its just an EPIC drama❤

The series presented from cultures (Korean, Italian, Biblical, Buddhist, ...) presents a progression from the Mafia, did not forget the way of speaking and writing in Korean, and barely learned Italian, take off, Italian, Italian, as he is stuck in the war of good against evil, and he sided with me since the beginning , and assist in the ruling in the struggle for justice.
((People need to understand that the Mafia does nothing but brutal murders and murders, they have to follow it, only from here comes what you see in the media portrayal of the Mafia)).
This show had a lot of supporting roles a lot, but I've never felt crowded. Each had a spiritual character and a 20-episode episode of that show was featured.
"Managing episodes, as long as you can visualize it."
● Ok Taecyeon is amazing in his amazing dual portrayal and the CEO of the company, his presentation of both characters is amazing. He's a legitimate madman and a perfect demon) I felt sorry for him, a clearly flawed and troubled human being. I loved all his little English phrases often, I enjoyed seeing his anger and frustration, just his gluttony, he does a good job. I want him to be with the heroine but at the same time I want him to be tortured the way he would torture anyone who gets in his way.
● A half-brother, played by Kwak Dong Yeon, was once again cool in his portrayal of Jang Han Seo.. He's funny but scary at the same time while looking incredibly handsome in porralro suits??
Kind of prepped, in other words, imagine what will happen, but it concludes, definitively. Those who go to hell from eternal torment, those who go to hell.

Disappointing, Boring With Useless Love Triangle

I watched it because of the face card of most of the cast members have and with some expectation for a plot twist. But turns out, with the existing love triangle and unsatisfactory cast for murderer, it's just too boring for me.

Kang Ha was the center of the story, who should exposed and taking a revenge for his twin brother's murderer starting with transfer to a prestigious high school. But as the episode goes by, Kang Ha was distracted from his original plan and entangled with a useless love triangle with Jaeyi and Rian.

I hate the way this drama make most of the characters pretending to be adults cuz it's just too dramatic as if they had been living in their 30-40. I hate how arrogant the characters behave too, like how can u act like that with people whose been with u since u were a child? I don't blame Yoon Hera characterization fir acting that way.

Well, besides the lacking, I still love the handsome cast and the stunning cinematography.

I don't regret watching it but if there's season 2, I really hope it can fulfill my expectations.
