One of the Best

First Review!

First Thoughts! - It is really gripping! The story is well-told in a way it feels like you know more than they actually tell you. I constantly doubt myself, (is he the one? Why would she do that?). There are so many twists that I would never see coming even, it's constantly keeping you on your feet as if you blink you'll miss something important. I feel like I am trying to solve alongside the detectives, nothing is as it seems.

FINAL THOUGHTS - I HAVE just finished this drama and wow, I knew from the first episode it was going to be a crazy ride and I wasn't wrong, I found myself shocked right up to the last second I never really knew where the story was going to go the writers were definitely not predictable (except for one instance).
The emotions portrayed from the Leads were exceptional I truly felt everything they were going through. The thriller, crime, psychopath concept was really well done and very interesting. The story felt fresh and new I don't think I have watched anything quite like it.
I would 100% recommend watching it.

THE STANDARD IS RAISED

So BL's, in general, have been sadly lacking in the story/ cinematography department since forever and mostly been either very cringy, bad acting or 90% skinship.

BUT FINALLY, WE HAVE BEEN SAVED. I knew even after seeing the trailer that this was going to capture my heart and I wasn't wrong. I told the sunset about you is a beautiful story with strong acting and excellent cinematography that I feel like I am watching a film. The tension and relationship between the 2 leads are so realistic and beautiful to watch. Just the way they look at each other says 1000 words and the sexual tension burns through the screen.
I am sad knowing there are only 5 episodes but I am happy that the story is still being told is such a deeply meaningful way.
I hope this drama wins awards and I would not be surprised if this becomes the best BL of 2020.
Please take a chance and watch it you will not be disappointed. (international watchers just google where you can watch it)

MUST WATCH!

If you have watched the reply series and prison playbook this is by the same director Shin won ho, that is why the casting is similar to before. It even includes some reapperances from the cast of this previous dramas.

1. IT CAN BE CONFUSING FOR THE FIRST 3 EPISODES. At first I was confused on who the main leads were but picked it up by mid ep 1. The plot isn't one big story but rather about life at the hospital, this was slightly confusing at first but around episode 4 all the side storys and characters fit together nicely and its much eaiser to navigate while watching the episodes so do not give up on the first episode just because you are confused.
I love that it focus' on so many characters and their individual lives, the main focus isnt' really on the 5 leads but actually on a whole bunch of the hospital staff around them which is different but they all fit well together.

2. there is no villian or bad guy to ruin your day. It's a feel good show with scenes where you will cry and scenes where you rejoice and laugh its all about life and patients. there isn't a chairman or anything that's annoying and cranky which I am thankful for or characters that you hate. Everyone is loveable and likeable.


3.The main 5 leads are 4 men and 1 women (typical for shin won hos dramas) who have been best friends since university and now all work at the same hospital for the first time ever. there are scattered scenes of them all together, and when they are all together it's so much fun. The actors are so good I could honeslty believe the characters had been friends for 20+ years without a doubt.

4. There is romance in a subtle day to day life thing, I have swooned over some of the scenes between some character and am shipping 2 of the leads together!
It's well worth a watch, each character is so full of personality and it's so well written.
ALSO the BAND! such a fun little add to it! The actors actually play the intruments so its not bad sync playing its actually real!

I am so glad I found this BL. It has to be one of the best produced that I have watched. The story is interesting, the acting is top-notch and the visuals are beautiful.
A Thai drama where the students Major in something other than Engineering for once, in this they major in film which is ACTUALLY interesting, throughout the series, there are countless references to films we all know and love, it makes me feel closer to the story as I studied Film also.
The acting is incredible, Gun especially the emotions he can portray just in the way he looks at someone is amazing, it felt real and that made it all the better.
The story although pretty simple is satisfying, it's more than having a crush on your best friend it's about love, friendship, change and more importantly what love actually means.
It even has a good ending where I felt all my questions were answered and I felt content and happy.
I don't think another BL will top this one in the creative department for sure.

First of all, I felt the 2nd couple had more chemistry than the first. I think the ML (IDK names but the one who hurt his leg) was kinda boring and his character was kinda based around the fact his leg was injured, he also looked like he could be a teacher, not a student so it felt more like a student-teacher relationship that 2 students.
The ending was VERY unsatisfying for how much time was spent building up this couple to get only a few mins at the end of them together. The other ML (the new boy) His character seemed to suddenly changed as soon as he knew he liked the ML which was kinda strange like he was 2 different people it didn't bother me too much I just felt as though their characters were kinda bland and the story was just meh.

The 2 stepbrothers, on the other hand, were super cute, they didn't get loads of screen type except near the end and honestly their little moments was better than all of the main couples altogether.

The series would have been 100% better if it was just about the brothers not that I am into step sibling storylines in BL's but they had so much more chemistry and cute moments I could look past it.

Can't deny how good it is

So to be honest I have dropped this drama at ep13, not because it was bad but because personally, it made me quite depressed thinking about life and I may pick it up again another time.
My mister is one of those dramas you either love or hate, and even if you hate it it's not because it's not good but because it doesn't fit your genre style well. If your a hopeless romantic or into high action this may bore you. But if you love deep meanings or genres that reflect everyday life with character depth then it would be a perfect fit.
I love that the ML isn't this perfect guy who has life all figured out but he is a normal working man with a crazy family, struggles and hardships and he makes mistakes but is so good compared to those around him. The FL takes no crap and fights for herself but also allows herself to open up to him. There's no romance and if there was it would have ruined it.
Just people finding friendships and learning that life sucks but it's a little easier with others around you.

I am not gonna say much more about the rest of it. I wouldn't re-watch because It's one of those dramas you carry in your memories.

This is the FIRST high school drama where I was excited to re-watch, and the only one I have re-watched so many times. It is so much deeper than students in a cheerleading club, the writers dive into so many different aspects you can never be bored, from fake friends, abusive parents, suicide, love, friendships, mental health, teamwork and dance. Every single aspect is well written and the story flows along nicely I hardly ever felt the desire to fast forward.

The casting is one of my favourite paths I loved Eunji in reply 1997 and I loved her even more here, her strong character who find the good in even the worse people is amazing she is truly someone I aspire to be as strong as. Lee won Guen was an egocentric, funny, handsome and kind main lead, I loved the character and can't wait to see him in more projects. Ji Soo was an excellent 2nd lead who's own story was not just to be 2nd but it had depth and meaning. Soo-bin can act well showing the true evil side of a student wanting to be 1st! All the other character were great I felt as tho each one of them had their own set story and personality even if you didn't see their story you can see the individuality in all of them.

I highly recommend this drama, so stop reading reviews and WATCH IT ALREADY!! please!

Sunny brought me so much Joy and felt me with a warm feeling in my heart.
The flashbacks and transitions between present and past were perfect and left me longing for the days where we were carefree and happy with dreams and passions eager to grow up. Those were and are the best days of our lives and this movie portrayed it perfectly.
The feeling of new starts, new friendships, parents, first loves, wild days all come back to you (or you can relate if you are that age) and the fact that life is short hold on and cherish all the good in it and let nothing go to waste.
The acting, cast music and story are all a 10 for me perfectly done I had no criticisms.
I encourage you to watch this film and I hope you fall in love the same way I have.

I randomly decided to give this drama a go since it was different, the best decision I've made.
This isn't a romance or a thriller or a comedy. It is a drama about family and corruption and crime. The characters are incredible every single one of them has an important role to play from the main family to the driver of the rich no one is a spare part. The way it is filmed also adds to it, the house that is designed to feel like a prison is the best.
This drama will make you cry and smile and seek justice throughout, the ending without spoiling is very well done, I bumped up the rating because of its incredible ending. It is a heavy drama that deals with many issues including suicide, bullying, sexual assault and more so do be wary.
I have to say my favourite character is the daughter she is so strong and mature her personality and the way she deals with things is incredible.
Please give this a try it deserves so much love for such a well made drama, everything is so well done.

This drama is MESSY but AMAZING. I have some downs about this show but plenty of ups. First of all the main leads Jung-suk and Hyo-jin have amazing chemistry I don't believe I have watched a drama where the main leads are cast so well together and this was the main highlight of this show.
I love the fact there wasn't loads of new different character but a set cast who each had a story I was never bored with this show. It was funny and refreshing, they weren't afraid to talk about taboo topics that aren't shown in dramas as much e.g Sex before marriage, male breast cancer, Asexuality and more.
The only downside was the messy plot, I was not a fan of the 2 timing storyline and often found myself frustrated at the love triangle and how long it took to get on the right track but it didn't make the show any less interesting. I'd honestly recommend this show I am sad to say goodbye but at least I can still watch Jung suk on Hospital playlist.

5 STARS FOR EVERYTHING. This is my favourite show EVER inside and outside the k-drama world.

Here are 3 reasons why and a brief summary from my pov of what it's about.
SUMMARY - This is about a small community of 5 families and their lives as they bring up their kids and grow with the changing world around them. It focus' of the 5 friends of all the same age 4 boys and 1 girl and their families who are all great friends. It has romance, comedy and drama.

1. FAMILY - This series is completely about the meaning of family what makes a family, whether they are rich or poor, with only 1 parent or a blended family. The mothers are hilarious along with the equally strange and wonderful husbands. We see them struggle to raise teenagers who are grumpy and don't communicate too adult children who still need their parents to care for them. This isn't about romance, (only about 20%) of it, it is about friendship and family.

2. GENIUS - I read a comment someone made about how Taek (who isn't seen much especially in the first half of the drama) is one of the most important characters despite his absence. He is often away playing Baduk and doesn't attend school as he is famous for it. his character is based on a real-life baduk player who had all the same character quirks and matches. Even though he is not around he is constantly being talked about or on tv and the main room that the show begins and ends in is his bedroom where they hang out even when he isn't around. I can't reveal much more about him as it would spoil it but the writer is a genius.

3. EMOTIONAL - there are so many scenes in this that will make you want to leap into the show and live in that area, honestly I wished I lived in a community like that even if we were poor and struggling the amount of love and fun that was shared was beautiful.

just give it ago I hope you love it as much as I do

It's very hard to rate this drama, I watched it a year or 2 ago and struggle to remember everything that happened but I remember it enough to leave an honest review. I watched this when it first aired as I had heard about it and had high hopes and expectations from the chosen cast.
After re-watching the first episode I remembered that it wasn't as bad as I recalled, I actually enjoyed it, the story let itself down in the middle I do wish it stayed as good as the first episode.
That being said I would suggest giving it a go because everyone will have a different experience with it.
,he acting from the main leads was not great and I feel as though that was down to the fact their characters were bland and had no real personality traits. (Joys character mostly). The story was also a letdown, and repetitive. despite these facts I finished the drama which I wouldn't normally do if it's not great meaning something drew me in.
I did enjoy parts of this drama especially the first few episodes and certain storylines within it.
This being said I wouldn't say it's a terrible drama it was definitely just a let down to a lot of our expectations.
I STILL LOVE THE CAST THOUGH AND THINK THEY ARE ALL GREAT ACTORS JUST NOT FOR THE CHARACTER ROLES THEY HAD WITH NOT VERY GOOD WRITING!!!

School has done it again

School 2017 is a top tier high school drama which has it all. Romance, mystery, deep themes, comedy and more.
Each character is deeply thought out (the scene where the school records are exposed proves it), from the smallest the biggest character i was in love with them all (even the horrible ones) .
The FL is a great actor and played her part well the only downside was the whining but half way through the season it seems to cut out completely, she fights for justice and cares deeply about those around her but is not a push over.
The ML is a whole new level, I love the actor and he brings the character to life, there is not one part of him i dislike.
The ROMANCE is incredible because 1. there is no love triangle 2. They become best friends FIRST 3. There is good communication. It is frustrating, it shows how messed up the school system is when there is corruption and rich against poor it conveys a powerful message if you give it a chance
Others compare this drama to school 2013 and Who are you 2015 but you really shouldn't. This drama did not disappoint me one bit and it is a HIGH rewatch for me. I don't usually hand out 9s or 10s willy nilly so this is a genuine review. Go watch it, for a highschool drama it is done extremely well

Worth every minute

wow. I didn't know what to expect from this drama, I was afraid it would be too dark and heavy or boring. I am happy to say this was one of the best dramas I have watched.
It is a high school/crime drama and it is the perfect mix. For starters the story and plot is well developed, there wasn't any plot holes or confusing narratives everything fitted well together.
I liked how fast paced it was from the beginning, it wasn't too fast that It felt rushed it or too slow that I was bored, it was perfect and I was hooked instantly.
The acting is brilliant - no faults, I had a special place for every character in my heart whether they were good or bad they all had well told stories.
I would 100% recommend watching this, it will keep you guessing right till the end about the truth and satisfy you with it's ending (hopefully)
My only criticisms is that the whole concept is far fetched (school trial) it could never actually happen and I did laugh at first but it is still fun to watch.
