Youthful memory
I’ve been hearing about how good this drama is. It was on my watchlist but never really had the chance to watch it til Monday this week during my day off. I literally binged it.I love it! The story. Chemistry. Family. Conflict. And the perseverance.
I don't really know how to explain it but this drama is very inspiring and has good meaning about life.
I'm thankful for the inspiration and motivation for life.
This drama has definitely inspired me to go for it rather than miss the opportunity.
The story about impaired hearing is very inspiring!
The quote that Chan said to Cheo is
“You don't enjoy music with just your ears. Music makes you feel with your eyes, mind and heart.” ep 12.
This drama gave me an open view of people who are struggling. And that we should be thankful for what we have. We're all struggling in life however, there are ways to overcome those difficulties. Ways to make life fun by being positive. Going out. Hanging with friends and family.
Very youthful.
The acting was amazing! I love the cast! I love the 1995 group and the 2023 group. I'm happy I get to see Choi Hyun Wook act as a student again. I miss 25-21!🥹🥹
Thankful for their amazing acting! The way they acted while doing the sign language must be hard! Truly a work of art!
The singing! Guitarist! AHHHH

First of all, the song is phenomenal. I have known this song for so many years now, more specifically the Tagalog version. (First Love Repablikan)The Tagalog version is basically about loving someone fictionally. Like anime. It's crazy because when this drama first came out on Netflix I felt goosebumps and instantly felt emotional. I guess this song has a soft spot for me.
It took me a while to watch this because I didn't want to feel sad😅. Just the title makes me emotional but I finally took the courage to watch it cuz I felt emo at that moment.
It's crazy. This drama is good!
The approach of their love story, the struggles, the life of being in their 20s and the pressure from their parents are well portrayed.
The twist…. I'm speechless.
That twist significantly impacted my decisions again in life. It's like choosing a path. Left or right. I don't know how to explain it but I cried numerous times. The romance between their youth life made me so emotional. The actor and actress, (Taisei & Rikako) definitely did an outstanding job. I like their chemistry more than the adults. Probably because being an adult is hard and going back into your youthful years seems freer.
Also, the adult main character stated that Taisei and Rikako did an excellent job portraying their characters and I agree. Every time they do flashbacks, I reminisce. I don't have experience at all with love but watching them just gives me chills.
Moreover, this drama was worth walking.
It hit on the spot.
Yae’s mom… ugh. Bat kci 🥹😭
Anyways. Goodbye.

‘It’s not over til it's over for real’
OmG. This drama was incredible!The cast! Was EXTRAORDINARY. It's amazing how the story was created. The plot! The friendship! And the dedication the main character has to their facial expressions. Holy. I'm also in love with the two main characters. I've been a fan of WOO do Hwan since his drama with JOY and seeing him in different kinds of roles... I'm proud as a fan!
I felt devasted with the other characters tho. That hurts a lot😫😫
All the cast did an outstanding job. After a few episodes, I realize the main girl was Saereun... I was shocked she was still part of the drama as controversy is a huge thing in Korea. However, I liked how they kept her.
She portrayed her character well.
The The ending was good! I was also shocked when I saw Siwon is part of the drama. Omg, I love him HAHAH.
I actually started watching this on the plane home from Cancun hehe
Good choice of downloading this. I'm somewhat traumatized from certain scenes as it's too brutal but hey.... It's BLOODhounds.
Haha.
Anyways, I would totally rewatch some scenes. Those scenes 🙈6/30/23 6:40pm
Good day to end JUNE 2023❤️

Perfect!
Just finished the drama and it was perfect! The ending satisfies me, their chemistry was just amazing. the revenge. Ugh! Don't even get me started! This kind of revenge is so good in a humane way. Revenging that will not make her go to jail thrills me.The second lead guy(kinda) was hot ngl🙈
I'm happy that Korean dramas have this kind of show now because sometimes when you watch a certain genre of drama, there are always those bitchy characters and I really want them to experience a source of pain and struggle. This drama helped me see that 🤣✌️.
It gives me VINCENZO. Which is good as well. That drama has more and better chemistry and interaction, however, on Dong Eun’s side It was acceptable and understandable as she went through pain and trauma that makes her not trust people.
The twist though. Omgod. I just love it! I did get lost as I forgot some scenes from the last “season”, but I'm more on the revenge moments so.
The antagonist people though! The way they portray it as a character was tremendous! The main bad girl, holy. I love her expression and emotion even though she's a pain in the ass in the drama. I first saw her in the drama MONEY HEIST. And I love her there. In this drama that she portrays, pissess me, but it shows how good of an actor she is!. I actually ship the two-second main lead people together.. And the third guy... Damn he's a keeper haha.
Anyways, I love the friendship of the antagonist people. I love their betrayal of each other. It shows that in reality, regardless of how close you are with people, and how long you've known them, they will always backstab you and gaslight you. Good drama! Worth the time and pain!❤️🫶❤️

Cute fast sweet drama
This was honestly a good 10 hr drama to binge. The main’s chemistry is so cute! The main guy, omg! After watching the episode he was actually part of VAGABOND🤩. AND I am still waiting for season two for that!The second main guy (Do WoJun) is from MONEY HEIST Korea and the third female actress (OH SENA) was actually in a relationship with (Do WoJun) on MONEY HEist. So it was kinda cute to see them here in this drama.
The drama may be basic but honestly, it's the chemistry, how their relationships started and ends that I look out for.
I love the cast so much!
Especially the female lead being badass at getting rid of the stereotype of how women should stay put and quiet. I love her for that.
I would honestly watch some of the scenes again. Their kissing and romantic scenes ❤️❤️
Supposed to finished yesterday but I went out til 4am💀.

Love the chemistry
I like the movie. I just wish there were more romantic scenes between them. Romantic relationship scenes. But omg. The way he ate those treats in her hands while being tied was hot AF! And so on🫶🫶.They're so cute ngl!
This is prob my first time seeing a Korean actor getting tied up. If you have a Korean drama similar to this... Please recommend me some🙏 I love romantic movies and dramas! Especially with comedies and jealous moments hehe.
Totally recommend watching it if you are craving a rom-com that includes consensual play🫶🫶

Amazing plot, story, acting, OST, and the ROM-COM is on point.
The twist was daebak!!
The life lesson of this drama was so unique and very realistic in our life. I like how this drama can be an example to others dealing with difficulties mentally and physically. There are still some flaws such as; confusion between the relationship of Dong Min and Yeong Jin..., not showing us more of the aftereffect of some of the casts problems.. and etc.
But overall, the cast was astonishing. It's been a while watching a drama with Kwang Soo and I am happy that he is part of this drama <3. I just wish his relationship with Sung Kyung is longer, showing ore romance, fight, and cute scene. Also their parent's problems as well. I wanted to see how they will show us(viewers) how they deal with their family problems (the main are exceptional hehe)
The MAIN lead was REMARKABLE!! Their chemistry and the way they interact and have some crazy argument is just hysterical.
I don't really want to talk about the ending since some of yall... are probably reading reviews to see if this is a good drama to watch... But...for me... the ending was good enough to not make me droll in pain! HAHA
More the less. I really recommend this to someone especially if you are looking for a drama with emotional scar, problems, romance, family problems, and roommates... It may be the same with other dramas but of course, every drama has its own flaws and uniqueness.
Personally, for me... I like how they taught us that no matter what pain or problems you are in, do not turn around and ignore it. There are also other people in this world dealing with the same symptoms or difficulties.
There was also a lot of quotes that made me realize a lot of things in life as well such as;
“When the wind blows over, then let it just blow through. When the loneliness takes over, then let it just go out the door. The pain will come, too. The pain may linger around and stay. It may stay around for a while, then leave.”
-----
This quote was the best..in my Opinion, <3
THERE MIGHT BE A SPOILER SOO....
I'm WARNING YALL--------
"Do you know what this painting of camels is about? Nomadic people in the dessert tie up their camels to the trees at night like this. But as you can see, they untie them from the trees in the morning. But the camels still don't run away. Because they remember being tired up to the tree the night before. Just like how we remember the pains from our own past. The pain and trauma from our past...keep us chained down to the ground. I have my bathroom...and you have your panic anxiety disorder.
” A person needs to know both the bitter and sweetness in life to grow and that's what keeps a relationship interesting too. But when you know nothing but the sweetness? Ugh, that's so unattractive.”
THANK YOU ;)))

I'm just saying. But.. it;s not that bad.
I watched the full episode 1 but I began to skip a lot of scenes till the end.
I began to lose interest because of the way they act... Risa's acting is more like a fear than a shy-innocent person. I like how Fukami-chan acts but there's something missing.
This is based on the Manga... tbh.. I recommend the manga more than the show, but that's just my opinion.
Thanks.

But anyway, I love the plot and story of this drama. It shows us the college life that teenagers face and overcome. I am not there yet.. One more year... but since there is a quarantine, we are not even sure if we are going back to the way it is before. The lesson is somewhat similar to being in High School but more difficulties and I guess freedom.
The romance that she has encountered as a College student is a dream for us future college students. The first meet up between them was so sweet, and of course their chemistry and romance. I also loved the life lesson they have given us. How everything happens for a reason and that we need perseverance to keep going. Have hope and be dedicated to our passion. They way they show us the fighting and breaking up with friends represent the life of our reality. lmao idk
Overall, it's not a bad little series. I may know the ending from the beginning since it's obvious but watching it til end still gives us a better view of the whole story and purpose. The quote that definitely motivated me and gave me inspiration was; "Were going to run into both good and bad times but through that journey, We’re going to grow. Only twenty years old now. There might be an unexpected failure or frustration, Or there might be even bigger happiness waiting for you. But I believe, we can do anything. All do us in the world. Wherever you are, whatever you do. We're all doing great and were going to be great. I believe in us. And I cheer for you. I hope not just me, but everyone lives their happiest days. Sincerely.” - Jieun.
It's a good life quote for us teenagers who are going to College.

Trying not to make it long but... overall... This is a good start of 2020 for me even though this drama came in 2018. I'm really impatient on dramas that are not done yet because I get distracted and began to watch diff dramas and I hate that... soo.... and right now... Catch Landing On You is still airing and That drama is SOO GOOD too... sorry, got distracted.
I'm trying my best not to spoil the story, plot twists and etc but if you are into a new genre and a very creative drama. I really recommend this because even in the end, I couldn't think of any possible ending. It's hard. Omy, idk what else to say :( I still cried at the end tho.. UGH! idk!!
There's a lot of twist tho... that's all I can say.
Soooo.... Right now since I just finished watching this drama, I will now watch The Bride Of Habaek!
Still tore and can't get over this drama, BUT YOU GOTTA MOVE ON!!

And I am very honoured and glad that I finally watched this. I saw this a while ago on Netflix but always ignored. When I finally dont have anything to watch I finally clicked it and YUP. I began to watch it like a marathon. I love the chemistry, lessons and Past experiences. I love how Dochi oppa Never give up even if his obstacles are hard to accomplish. I hope I can use what I have experience from this drama as a lesson in love. The last episode gave me tears and OFCOURSE full of laugh. The chemistry between the Grandpa and Dotchi was my fav tbh. And The bromance and aslo Panda and Dotchi but THE GRANDPA IS MY FAV. The OST IS HELLA GOOD ESPECIALLY THE SONG OF DONGHAE OPPA. Don’t Go. IMMA MISS THIS DRAMA. I really recommend thiss. I will surely watch this again especially the CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE GRANDPA????????????

Wow!
I just finished and omg I feel so OVERWHELMED in a good way. I remember watching it when it first came out and now it's done.The chemistry between the two actresses with Jang Uk is so cute and sweet. I love how they didn't like force Naksu’s character to fit Mu Deok’s personality. I like that they have their way of communicating and traits.
Not gonna lie... I somewhat forgot what happened in the first season, so I get confused about the second part but Overalls, I love it. Haha.
I love the chemistry of the characters especially the Prince with Jang Uk, they're so SWEET AAHAH.
But. Yay. I'm done. The ending tho. Wtf what does that mean? UGH ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER 🥲🥲.

Wanjeon PERFECT!
If you're looking for a drama with revenge. Crazy twist. Romances. Healthy and Broken friendships. Chaebol genre... this is the drama for you.You will definitely boil yourself with anger and frustration which is a good thing as the characters did an outstanding job portraying their roles.
I'm honestly proud of the villains as I believe this is their first time acting as a bad person.
Song Ha-Yoon was on next level!
I knew her from the drama 'Fight for My Way' and I love her character there. She's the bestest friend who's considerate. Kind. Helpful and supportive. And seeing her in this role has definitely shocked me. She demonstrated her emotions and actions so well. I honestly don't even know how to describe it. It's Indescribable. Before writing this, I read an article about how she struggled and that she's usually alone to better immerse her character in. She struggled significantly. Her villain character deserves an award. I'm so proud.
Nonetheless, the plot of this drama is good!
I love the cast. The frustration with the villains triggered me mentally and physically but this showcases how they can perform their roles.
The ending was AMAZING.
I LOVE THE ENDING.
It's a WANJEON ENDING.
The main couple of course, was amazing too. I love their romance and their chemistry. I'm just really proud of the villains. But it's nice because it's like all in one. You get everything in one drama.
The jealous fake best friend who wants everything because she's jealous and that she believes she deserves all the love and care in the world. And not Jiwon.
This was worth the wait!!!!
The cast and crew deserved an award!
Looking forward to it!
Thank you for your hard work.
I wish them the best in their future endeavors.

Holy smoke. I don’t know where to start.I was craving thrillers/murderer/mystery/crime and I heard about this drama that has an outstanding twist. Which is why I decided to watch it. First of all, the family. I love them! I love love them. Eun HA! She did an amazing job portraying her character as their daughter. She sometimes gives me BABY FEVER😫.
The main couple though, Holy! The way they show their love to eachother and how they express their emotions are impressive. This is probably my first time seeing a lot of emotional scenes. Lots of crying! Their cries are surreal. They really demonstrate their love and how compassion they are for each other.
I just love the couple and the family.
The mystery in general was out of the box. Great THRILLER AND AMAZING TWIST.
i love THE VILLIAN!!! ahh. I'm a big fan of Him since MONEY HEIST. I've been seeing him a lot in dramas and movies and I'm proud of that!
In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this drama. Stunning story! Amazing cast! It's truly Astonishing to watch this movie.
The story itself really demonstrates the mystery of the murderer cast.
I just love it! Never seen the side of JOONGI in this GENRE AND he's KILLIN IT🥹❤️🥹
THE MAIN FEMALE LEAD!!!! I love HER! I'm a BIG FAN NOW! THEY WAY SHE CRIES. Her tears MAKES ME WANT TO CRY WITH HER. I love HER ACTING I LOVE BOTH OF THEM. THIS DRAMA AHHHHHHH!
Soo good SOOOOO good!

Worth every minute
This drama was honestly such a drive.Everything in this drama was intense. Every second was such a thrill as it provides everything. I feel like this drama has every genre you can think of.
The question of who’s big mouse was shocking and how each character drastically change from being good to bad and vice versa.
This is my favourite kdrama this year.
I’m really impressed how the writers made such an amazing plot line. It was honestly impressive. I did not expect it at all and this is the kind of new genre of kdrama I love to watch. I’m more of a rom-com but sometimes this genre really hit the point.
It was definitely worth every second & I would definitely re watch this drama again. I’m praying for this team to win numerous awards as they deserve it!
