little peace of advide

if you love noisy mothers , this drama is made just for you. without her being the center of the drama, i would rate it a lot higher. this drama was carried by leads who hardly even get romantic scenes together. don't get me wrong. i love a good business centered drama but this time, it added nothing to the story. not to mention, whoever wrote the body of work must have terrible family. otherwise, i can't explain a mother who gets away with treating her daughter by playing a victim until the end of the drama

headache at times...

I think when I'm writing this I'm speaking for the whole fandom. This series is far from perfect. I would say the best part of this series was the acting. Also, the chemistry was glowing trough our screen which was nice to see. Freen and Becky did a wonderful job on what they had to work with. I am looking forward to their next project together. Now, at first, the plot was promising but it fell flat and dragged out in the end. We hardly even got to see mon and sam happily together in peace. I won't lie. Wedding ending was nice but it felt rushed. I blame it on writer who focused too much time on sam's emotional abusive grandma and manipulative kirk

Hot Mess

PS: it's my first time writing a review so bear it with me
I must say that I feel underwhelmed about the whole drama. The casting choice was good and the special effects were all well done but something important was missing from the plot.
I liked the topics that were addressed and how those were adressed. From the characters' pov, the story was confusing and jumpy. It felt like a lot of important scenes were removed from the script. Instead of those, there were only action scenes.
Regardless of this factor, I completed it. I don't know if it was the smartest move to leave this drama with an incomplete ending knowing how past netflix series have been treated. Would I rewatch it? No, because I would grow to hate it

compelling storyline

The acting, particularly by Gyu Young, stands out as she delivers a remarkable performance beyond what I initially expected. Her portrayal adds depth to Seo A-ri's character, making her journey to fame more relatable and engaging.

The series also excels in cinematography, providing a visually stunning experience. Each scene is beautifully captured, creating a visually appealing and captivating atmosphere. I would expect anything more from Flower Of Evil's director.

While the overall storyline is intriguing, at some times I felt that the focus is too much focus on the antagonists. This may have affected the character development of the male lead.

One aspect that made me feel mixed emotions is the reconciliation between the A-ri and her friend, who had previously created a hate page about her. If I have to be honest, it's still hard to believe and accept.

Nevertheless, Celebrity managed to leave a long-lasting impression on me due to its compelling storyline, outstanding acting, and aesthetically pleasing cinematography.

fight for survival...

Agency is a gripping series that delves into the complex world of the entertainment industry and office politics.

The characters are well-written and mature, each battling their demons but supporting each other in the tough, competitive, and often brutal entertainment industry.

One of the highlights of the show is the remarkable performances of the two leads. It's safe to say that without Lee Bo-young and Son Na-eun, this series wouldn't have worked.
Also, the pacing is well-controlled and the arc of the show is just right.

Overall, Agency effortlessly captures a glimpse of South Korea's commercial entertainment industry while highlighting the challenges faced by those who want to make it to the top.

might be triggering...

My Broken Mariko is a visually stunning Japanese film that explores complex themes like mental health, grief, and redemption. The story follows Tomoyo as she travels across Japan to deliver the ashes of her best friend, Mariko, amidst the struggles of her painful past.

Through the visually striking imagery and outstanding performances, the audience is transported into Tomoyo's emotionally-charged world.

The music is thoughtfully composed and helps to create a vivid atmosphere, heightening the emotional impact of each scene.

Overall, My Broken Mariko is a journey of self-discovery and redemption that serves as a reminder of the human capacity for resilience and the importance of accepting help from others. The main reason why I can't give it a higher rating is because it has a low rewatch value because of triggering themes.

A mess...

I am going to make this as short as possible.

This last season felt very unnecessary in the first place. First big red flag was when 3 actors left after s2 & were replaced. Maybe it's just me but I never got used to the new actors.

Storyline was a hot mess. Imagine adding all this supernatural storyline just for Hye Ryung to make up with her terrible ex husband and grim reapers to kill one of the characters in the finale... It made me spoil with anger since her husband was the worst one out of 3. I mean he successfully knocked someone else up. Pi Young & Shi Eun finding love was probably the best part of this season. I hope for the sake of the actors that season 4 is the last one. They need to stop milking this and free all those actors so that they can do other projects

female lead carried

What stood out for me was the female protagonist. I'm enjoying this new trend of female characters being more independent and goal-oriented. Also, kim ok bin did the series justice with her acting. That's what I would like to call perfect casting. I finished it for her character only. To all the haters out there, not every character needs redemption or development. If she was a man, you all would thirst over him.

I choose to be a villain and say that the plot-wise this drama isn't something extraordinary. Honestly, I was prepared for the worst outcome since the same screenwriter wrote my id is gangam beauty. Nevertheless, the comedy aspect of the series is surprisingly well done
