In my opinion, this was very interesting and captivating. It attracts you as soon as an episode ends which is why I kept going even though it's like 4 am in the morning...and I have an online class the next day.I kept seeing this drama online but I'm scared to watch it as I'm more into a romantic comedy or romantic thriller and this drama is mostly a psychological thriller. I also decided to watch it to take a break from all my romance dramas. I also decided to watch it as it sorta related to my courses right now, which include psychology and law enforcement. It was interesting to know as a student who wants to pursue being a police officer, I took notes on critical thinking, fairness, equality, and equity. Some of the scenes boiled my brain as the antagonist was annoying af. But, amazing at the same time as they portray their characters well.
I am also impressed with the main characters acting especially when I heard even before I began watching this drama that 'Seo Yea-ji' got traumatized or fell into depression as she needed to portray her character more in-depth..ig.
Woo-Do hwan though!! my BB!! AHAHH. I first watched him act on 'TEMPTED' with Joy from Red Velvet and his AURA is so unique. The way he can instantly turn into a villain to a shy/awkward person. Not in a criminal way but when he acts or does something secretly ...it was so fine!. His eyes are so pretty and just his existence tbh.
Of course, I can't leave my OK Taecyeon. He did a great job as well but what I love the most was the chemistry between Ok Taecyeon and Woo- Do hwan.
"Stand straight, fool." MY FAVOURITE PHRASE FROM THEM!
I wish I can have their friendship in real life haha. Especially fighting skills.
But anyway, this was an interesting drama to watch, the ending was not so bad but for me, the only problem why I do not watch a lot of thrillers with romances is because. Thrillers are mostly 1 conflict and then a conclsion. While romance and thrillers are like a rollercoaster. But I love both. I am thankful I watched this drama and also learned some lessons about life and hope.
So, thank you.

I found this drama on Facebook and saved it since I save all my future dramas but it just keeps popping out. So, I decided to watch it. I was disappointed that it wasn't on Netflix but I AM SO happy that I still watched it because it was the best choice ever. The drama was soooo smooooth. When I finished watching it, i felt Good in a way that It was meant to be ended like that. Really recommend a nice, calm, awkward, clingy , and cringe moments. It's everything. Their Chemistry..hahah SCIENCE. AND THE FLOW. And how the relationship was created♥️♥️♥️♥️ Finished watching just now. (writing a review c;) 6/24/19 2:31amI started watching on 6/18/19 (went camping that why it took long) I can finish watching a drama in 2days. Not to brag but Yu c; 2:33am

"This is just how life is..."
This drama is easy, slow-paced, heartwarming, and inspirational.I've seen this drama numerous times on my recommendations on Netflix.. but never clicked on it because I didn't feel like watching "sad-inspirational drama". After watching Son Suk-Ku in the drama 'A Paradox Killer', his aura motivated me to check his film history and I remembered that he did a drama with Kim Ji Won, which is this drama.
The way he portrayed his police officer character in the Killer Paradox and his side villain-nie... and of course, his handsome face. This made me have no choice but to check his other drama and watch 'My LiberationNotes'. Hahaha. But I do want to watch this drama so badly. I just used that as an excuse to watch it.
Anyways, in this drama... they truly demonstrated a lot of inspirational daily life choices.
The main one is alcoholism.
It's not easy to stop drinking.
It's an addiction.
But with Mi-Jeong's coping mechanism he managed not to drown himself with alcohol.
Instead of forcing him not to drink, the way she communicates with him helps him feel comfortable and allows him to trust her.
I don't really know how to explain but their relationship is so calming. I don't think their healthy relationship can be a reality in this generation as we tend to give up easily especially the more we get to know how addicted someone is to alcohol.
Yes. Love is love... but people tend to let go... because it might damage them in the future.
I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm saying.
The family issues have definitely hit me on the inside.
One being an immigrant... we may have jobs... but that's not enough to provide for ourselves and our family. I do want to help my family in my home country... but it's hard when inflations are fucked up.
Just watching the family members work hard has made me feel emotional.
The effort their parents put into providing for their children.
Lake of verbal affection; which is very normal in Asian cultures.
Asian parents tend to show affection through food and other household chores.
The struggles the siblings face every day just to survive hits me.
Life is hard.
But as they said... if you want to make a change in your life. You have to take action. But for me... how? Idk where to start or go...
Idek what I'm saying anymore.
I'm going out of topic.
In conclusion, this drama has made me emotional mentally and physically. But they inspired me.
The only brother with his change of career... im so shocked yet proud.
There are some unanswered scenes... but I love this drama.
Regardless of little skinship. I love their characters. This is probably my first drama with little to no kissing scene. And I'm totally okay with it. Tangina ang gwapo talaga ni MR. GU. AHHH.
ITS CRAZY how he's 41 years old.
At first.. im shocked about their 10-year age gap... and how Jiwon calls him Sunbaenim... but their chemistry in this drama is on point.
I LOVE IT. WOULD definitely rewatch some of their scenes together.

Please. If you don't want spoilers stop. (It's for my future References)
I don't understand the older sisters' relationship... did they end up together or not-?
The best friend girl... who's somewhat seeing the brother.. what? I don't understand...
♤
The ending tho... why does it have to be like that... whats with the last-minute fighting scene? (Totally hot th0) but still.

Anyway... this hit drama hit me from the bottom of my heart.

Well damn..
I .... crazy.First of all. The cast did an outstanding job portraying their roles. Definitely deserved the 'Korea's record-breaking film.'
I kinda somewhat predicted who's Mr.Lee but I love the build-up of the story.
I felt the cultural shock on some parts...as I don't often see those scenes in Korean shows. Only in Hollywood shows haha.
But overall, it's nice to take a break from watching romance dramas.
It is definitely weird for me to see some actors in this drama performing different roles than what I mostly see in dramas.. but it's nice to see the other side of their acting skills. Definitely definitely amused me.
The action in this movie was amazing.

Heart-warming
This is my second time watching this movie and oh Man. My heart hurts!I forgot how the movie ended and it definitely woke me up from reality.
I decided to rewatch this because of Byeon Woo Seok. I recently just finished watching ‘Strong Girl Nam Soon’ and his acting in that drama was remarkable. I did not expect to see him as the villain. This is one of the reasons I decided to rewatch this because I miss his innocent character haha.
Anyways. I love this drama. I remember watching it for the first time saying why is it two hours. That's too long. But as I kept watching, I wished it was a drama.
It's so emotional! I love shows or movies that occurred in the 90s. It brings back my childhood and just shows life being simple regardless of being poor.
The friendships. High school life. Romance. Third wheeling. The plot and the ending.
It's definitely one of a kind.
This movie reminds me of ‘She’s Dating the Gangster it's a Filipino romance movie that is similar to the story of this drama.
Risking everything for the cause of others.
Anyways. I'm glad I rewatched it. I've been craving.. hahah. this drama. I just can't bear the watch 25-21. That one OMG. I caanot.
But. Worth every seconds.

BADASS???
AHHHHHH! I LOVE HER so much! Her acting skills are just phenomenal. The way she expresses her emotions and her actions scenes. I’ve been a fan of her and seeing her as the main lead here is just perfect. I love the sequence of the MONEY HEIST members. Two of my favourite members in the show; Money Heist.Anyway, this movie is just immaculate.
Perfect revenge for her best friend. The dedication and perseverance she put through to avenge her best friend is so inspiring.
It truly shows how much she cares about her. Her bestfriens also indeed changed her life which is why she is willing to do anything to avenge her.
I just love it.
It's gruesome yet perfect.
Kinda shocked about the bed scene. Damn. Did not expect to see that.
Cuz ykow Korea... Conservative.
Definitely worth watching!

The main-leads…!
Honestly worth watching.I regret not watching it sooner, but honestly I think it was a perfect time for me to watch. I missed them so much! The two actors are amazing. I’ve been their fans for years and it’s nice to see the two of them in one drama.
The plot was satisfactory. Got emotional at some point but their dedication to the drama inspired me in real life. I actually took Law Enforcement in College and it's nice to bring back some knowledge.
Their chemistry is so funny and cute.
This drama motivated me to stay strong, have perseverance, and have faith.
It may be cliche for me to say but regardless of being a comedy slash action slash yeye I love how they input the struggles of thinking what's right. If you should listen to the upper people or believe in what you believe is right.
I don't know what else to say but thank you for the inspiration even for a little bit.
It motivated it.

Cute!
Just finished camping and I love it.I love the behind-the-scenes of how they portray the reality of social media. How fans need to realize that they are humans too and there’s a limit to everything.
But, I love romance. I wish there were more romantic moments between the two main leads but overalls I just love the story. The revenge was outstanding. I'm in love when mains know how to give real consequences to those pitches BAHAHAHA. I love their acting tho. Omg those GIRLS were hot and amazing portraying their characters. Well deserved. Ngl some scenes of Ari looks like HYURI. Aweeee I miss Hyuri so much. But anyways, j would definitely recommend watching this if your looking for a quick kdrama show.
The ending made me move to King the LAND. Ifyyk??

If you're craving a simple rom-com. This is for you.
I just finished watching this drama and it was good.The main leads are cute. I love their chemistry, the way he started falling for her and their kissing scenes are so cute. Hahaha.
The title really explains the story, and I'm up for it. I'm totally into this kind of drama when the guy either hates the female or has some sort of issue with her.
I don't know why, but Choi Tae Joon is so Handsome here. Like omg. I cannot resist his facial expression and just everything he does.
I would totally watch this again, but probably on just some scenes. Especially romance scenes... With their kissing scenes. I'm shocked that they had a lot of kissing scenes and I'm happy for that. Lmao. Idk what else to say..
Oh, also... I hate JJ! But that's shies his good of an actor he is haha. Love you ChanSung?

Action/Thriller/Romance and JICHANGWOOK
I just finished watching this drama...and I feel nothing right now.I feel numb... and in an hour..i'm planning to watch episode 15 and 16 of TRUE BEAUTY. I am not ready.
Sorry to include another kdrama but, my feelings right now will be crushed by the end of today. I hope you guys understand. HAHA.
Anyways, I've always wanted to watch this but sometimes I lose intrest or scared.. but
Out of nowhere, I felt like I should watch it, cuz I miss Ji chang wook... and IDEK
WHATVER, But... this drama was amazing!! The cast, genre, plot, settings, and action.
The kissing scene tho!! that was fire!! They may not have kiss a lot, but their chemistry was on point.
Every time an episode ends it makes me want to keep going even though I have SCHOOOL!!! Guys, just a head up, If you're planning to watch this, please do so on the weekend because you might get stressed out when ur behind school haha.
I wish they showed us more scenes on how they fell for each other, like... it's kinda...obvs, but not really. Especially the mother and daughter scene.. I would die for their scenes!
Each episode was flawless, it wasn't rushed or drag but on the last episode, I feel like they rushed it, and the ending just made me tear up due to that reason. The TWIST PER EPISODE Was to die for tho!!!
I don't know what else to say but, if you're looking for a thriller, action, and less romance, that is not cringing... then I recommend this!!

There are loopholes and unanswered questions.
Waiting for HARU to show up was my most intense patient time...lmao.. it took him a while to show up in this drama(not gonna say when but,...) it was worth it. After episode 21...I began to lose interest...but still finished as I need to, to move on haha. I skipped a lot as some were very slow and repetitive and ..yuh/
I was planning to watch this last year due to high-recommendation but my expectation is kinda low for this drama..but I will give it a good 5-6 star as it was a unique story.
Idk what else to say but if you are looking for something slow, but witted and high school romance, I would give this a go.
It was a fun drama and I am happy I finished it with a good life lesson: Enjoy life, be grateful for what you got and move on.

You may have spoiled yourself, but you do not know why and how. That is just one part...there are more to go. Anyways, their chemistry was amazing. It's astonishing especially the TWISTs. Waw. I did not expect that at all. That was crazy yet remarkable. The crazy self lesson was good. I like how it is also a real-life lesson for people who are dealing with difficulties. I wish there was more romance between the second couple in the end but their ending was good. Better than what I expected.
Overall, everything about this drama was tremendous. Their romance was on point. HE’s such a GOOD KISSER. Y'all! He's A GOOD KISSER. HAHAHA.
Back to the topic. Hehe. Him being a shy boss and changing into a new person but still keeping his personality the same was logical. You can't always change everything about a person.
Their ending tho...was CUTE. SANA ALL. HAHAA.
BUT... HWAN-GI THO..HE SOO MF HOT. There may be a gap between their age...since some of y'all are so paranoid about such thing but the way they acted towards their characters makes it surreal. I love it.
Their cuteness was awe. Their funny moments, sad moments and everything was just wonderful. I would definitely watch this drama again and go through their romance and comedy parts.
If you're in a wow-twist with a cute and hot romance I would definitely recommend this drama. It's on NETFLIX. So...REALLY RECOMMEND IT.
I just finished watching this while camping cuz I just can't wait to see them again. And to see how the drama will turn out.
AND IT TURNED OUT GOOD!!

I decided to watch this drama because it's short and I miss watching Chinese drama...but after finishing it..i’m miserable! (good way) Why does it have to end in a cliffhanger? I thought it's just a short film and..tbh... I WANT MORE. This drama was actually pretty good and their interaction and romance were amazing. Their kissing scene was HOT AF. It feels like Angie is the dominant..ykow the mover..and I am killing for it. It's my first time watching a drama that a girl is the one who moves n be actually GOOD at kissing haha. Y'all has already know...pretty obvious..haha. I like ROM-com.
The extra cast was hilarious and funny. I love her companionship...the the people who work for Angie... And the ending for them..aha.
The two main casts were remarkable! Their chemistry and the first encounter was jovial. I really like their acting and I hope I can see them make SEASON 2, Hopefully with the same cast.
It may have been a CLIFFHANGER but..thats what makes us want to stay tune.
And the TWIST in the end was wow ?.
I love it.
I'll stay tuned for SEASON 2.

Anyways, I've been eyeing on Japanese dramas since it's been a while, and I finally watched one and finished one.
The drama was nice, it's refreshing, very unique and FaboLous! :)
I like how the plot was created,; her going to the seaside to work, and her life-changing forever <3 The encounter moment was decent, her first love and last love hehe. For me, there's still a lot of questions because they bring new characters but they don't finish it. They somewhat did... but in the last episode which makes it rush. I guess it;s not that important soo, that's how they finished it.
The romance in this drama tho.. flows so nice, I love the main characters!. They all have their own personality and unique traits, especially Touma, He may not be the main character since he's not in the love triangle. But his acting and the main point of the story was really relatable.
The twist was somewhat expected but I still loved it. It shows that no matter what happens in life, if you are being true to yourself and with others, nothing really changes.
Overall, I am thrilled by their friendships, the work of art that they made on their restaurant (I WANNA MAKE IT!) Especially the dessert.. but I don't really know the name.. T.T. and of course the ROMANCE!
I already know there's not much of a kissing scene in Japanese dramas (not all but mostly) and I am okay with that. as long as there are lessons in the drama and...
I've seen the poster of this drama before and I am shooked that it was this drama! HAHA. It shows that this drama is on my list and I am happy that I watched it.

Kento thoo!!! Ughh!! I have no words for u! AHHA. I love you! わたしは、あなたを愛しています
YouR sMILE and acting arrogant was hot! EHHE-

But yes! I recommend this drama! It's simple yet nice and special <3
I'm shaken that Chiaki and Sakurai are married in real life... I found this out before watching and I am happy and not be stupid for not watching it because they may not end up in the drama HAHA. I love it tho HAHAH

It's been a while watching a Japanese movie and there were a lot of options for me to pick but this movie was my second choice since the first one is not online yet. I am happy that I still decided to watch these! I miss watching High-school movies and the plot was decent.
I was kinda shook that there might be a twist in the end but overall, the ending was.. I like it!! Their romance was cute and very teenage-like.
I wish there was more romance, more characters in-depth and that there were other couples in this movie.
Mamura is Sooo Hot!! And Cute!!! This is why this movie attracted me!! HAHA.
This movie is basically a second-lead syndrome. It wasn't that bad like the Korean dramas and such but Ykow!! i there's two guy over a girl..aiyshh that's Hard.
Sensei was very attractive too!! And I just found out that he's 31yrs old and LOOKING LIKE a 20yr old man. Waw. aND hAS a wife!! too.
I like how she encountered Mamura, I just wish that they showed us how and when he fell for her.
Her interaction with her friends was nice and cute! The way she met Nekota tho!! I was thrilled hahah.
Anyways, this was a good 2hr Japanese movie.
There may be missing elements to this drama but the romance is interaction is all I need!!
HAHAH.
