WASTED TALENT WITH WORST SCREENPLAY

This drama had potential.
But it's irrational.
By the time the character development happens, it's almost over.

This is by far the only drama, that too coming of age in which the characters are so complex and indecisive, especially the FML
She's mundane.
Absolute low-crushing spirit throughout.
The MC is a m0r0n , who keeps going on and on after her.

The whole friend group is a cross-loving quad-entangled web.

I would say many of us watch dramas due to the script involving interesting characters.
This drama could be liked by those who can accept human irrationality to the point of zero expectation.
Coz one way to look at it, more than 50% of such people do exist.
It's an ordinary script.
Think of the most non chalant way of interaction b/w your day to day peers , zero spark , tons of foolish emotions only to be wasted at the end.
All the characters are hypocrites except the MC .
And the FMC is the biggest hypocrite of them all.

Man, I'm so disappointed coz I only watched this due to MC', since his script selection has been credible.
Avoid this one .
It's nothing but a pain in the a3se to watch .

Portrayal of irrationality in the best way possible

LEAST SPOILER REVIEW :

Orange Days is a classic women's fantasy.
But what it does great is the portrayal of irrationality in the best way possible.

There's MC who's committed to a 3 yr elder girlfriend.
There's an FMC who's deaf.

There's a playboy character,
FMC's friend who's eyed by the playboy.

And the general supportive 3rd friend who likes FMC's friend but is a wussy.

Now this drama is spot on with human relationships and how they pan out except for the MC and FMC which is a fantasy sort of, the damsel in distress whom the MC can't help but get infatuated with.

MC's girlfriend is always insecure about the age difference with the MC, and this pans out in the end.
She ends up going to someone else as she sees her boyfriend get swayed.
Basically, women always have an option even when they don't.

The player gets the normal girl who will fix him or perhaps.
And the 3rd friend, well I guess we don't know when he'll get a girl coz he's never dated before and that starts a love triangle with the playboy, FMC's friend and this guy .

So now you may ask where this drama lacks.
The script, I would say.
The starting episodes are strong after which it falls out .

In short, Orange Days is an average drama but a good learning curve on irrationality and how it pans out.


5.5/10

BEST KOREAN THRILLER YOU'LL EVER COME ACROSS

Usually, Korean Thriller movies lose the plot towards the end but this one doesn't.
Right from the bat, it's bang on.
A focused plot is like a clean slate.
Each and every minute is a hell lot interesting to watch.

The plot isn't baffling, it's based on surveillance but the execution and theme predominantly rise up the movie to another level.
And on top of that combine it with the acting of Jung Woo Sung and Han Hye Joo.
Voila Perfection achieved.

The only reason I've given this a 9.5 is the ending.
And once you watch the movie you'll get the reason.
Don't miss it.
It's as real as it gets.
I enjoyed it a lot.

PATHETIC FALLACY

Before you decide to watch this movie,
Read this carefully.

I'm gonna be brutally honest
This is the worst Korean movie I've ever seen.
A huge blunder.

There was no plot, it was so boring, I could just skip to 1:16:00 and watch it for 20 mins to understand what happens.
The direction was pathetic, the narration was even poorer and all above the acting was bland.
Now if you're a person who can watch anything as long as it's on-screen, I highly doubt this review is for you, but if you do care about a good plot and direction, this movie is just a waste of time.

Coming from ' A Man From Nowhere ' this movie is a huge disappointment. Ugh!

THE ONES LIVING FOR TOMORROW GET F**KED BY THE ONES LIVING FOR TODAY

Since this movie has had a lot of reviews obviously, I would write something unconventional.

Won Bin, I dunno why he halted his acting career, the man is so talented.
What an outstanding performance!
That child was magnificent, she even won an award for her performance.

Although the plot is conventional, the execution is gripping.
Each and every actor in this movie is phenomenal, leaves an impact, whether it's the gangsters or the protagonist, even the police officer played a great role.

All this can only be possible if the director is legendary.
By far this could've been his dream work.

The movie is well thought and executed, each and every scene is important along with the violence and profanity it showed, but also managed to focus on the human side of nature.

A child brings a lot of emotions especially when you see a cold guy like him in the movie.
Some people hate children, I've come across quite a few but then again they remind me of the essence of why a child is important, why childhood is important and moreover why being a child is important.
Each child is an enigma in itself.

As the movie says, just giving birth isn't parenting.
Children realize the parenting values towards anyone they can get the warmth and feeling from.

~ Special mention to the villains, Kim Hee Won and Kim Sung Oh.
Who knew these guys could play such an ultimate villain, I've only seen them in stupid roles in the dramas.
They were magnificent in the movie.
A scumbag of a villain is always the ones that look weak but can do the most heinous crimes possible.
Kudos to the director for finding such actors and making them execute their talent.

Kindness and Humanity go hand in hand with the dirty heinous part of the world .
The profanity of scenes in this movie is what makes it special, it was ugly indeed but you could see it through.
And believe that this exists but in the same world a love exists too.

Marvellous effort.
And who can forget the bass in Won Bin's voice? Top-Notch dialogue delivery.

Overall, this movie was such a great experience to have.
One of the best ways you could've spent your 2 hrs.

LOOKING FOR FUN ? COME HERE

This has to be one of the most enjoyable movies I've watched.
Starts off with a hilarious concept and ends the same way.
Consistent comedy accompanied by action.

The acting is above the roofs . Impeccable!
I couldn't stop laughing every 2 minutes there was something hilarious.
Even the dialogues were golden.
Movies such as these are rare.
All the things were simple, they didn't try to complex anything and the result is wonders.

Even the action was clever, pleasing to the eyes.
A must watch movie.
A gem in terms of comedy.

WARM

I watched the K-Drama version first.
It was lengthy but worth it.
Felt like watching the movie and guess what, What a lovely movie.

This kinda movie makes you get lost somewhere.
The whole transition of this movie is beautiful.
The scenes are fast, the acting is magnificent.

The BGM was to die for, so melodious, perfectly matched the theme.

The acting was sky high, so natural that you could get lost in those 2 hrs.

From the other versions of the story this plot has.
This one seems to be the most spot-on.
The coldness from our protagonist fits the description of the character and his ability to feel the wavering as well /.
Those expressions that he's wasting his time but he's doing something cruel .and still continues to do it.
Brilliant, although I came to know he died in 2017.
Damn! That's really sad.

And Moin Geun Young played such a perfect blind character.
Can't believe she was 19 in the movie.
You should watch this movie on a cold winter night.
Perfect Occasion.

PS : Also, who would believe Seo Hyun Jin acted like such a B*tch in this movie in her debut role xD
Seems like she had plenty of surgeries for the look she has now.

MODERN PRACTICALITY OF AFFAIRS (STRICTLY FOR MATURE AUDIENCE)

As the title suggests it's about divorce and love and obviously marriage.
It's a typical melodrama but in a stylish demeanour and with fewer episodes. Usually, this kinda drama has 100 episodes or so.
The affair storyline is fun to watch
It's a bit slow to my liking could've been 10 episodes which felt stretched to 16.

~ You should watch this if you're looking for a fun experience of people lying and cheating but with definite reasons and most of them do have a good enough reason.
And also the fact that it takes two to tango and that a man can't start an affair alone.

It represents the modern-day practicality of why people have an affair.
And how not every marriage is not lovey-dovey in real life.
Why divorces happen and what leads to them.

It's a decent drama to watch.
And also people who chose to watch this drama but ended up disliking it just coz it shows infidelity, GROW UP MORONS!

Brilliant Acting Carried out with Charm

NON SPOILER REVIEW :

' Jealousy Incarnate '
This drama is so true to its name.
There are 3 phases in this drama :
1. The Push
2. The Pull
3. The Centre

All describing how jealously is a part and parcel of the game called love.
People take each other's presence for granted.
Friendship and love go hand in hand.
You know what the best part about this drama is,
It's the charm, the easiness and the blending.
You won't even realize how good the characters are.

Each and every character in this drama is fantastic, especially our leads,
Jo Jung Suk acts so well, his facial expressions are one of the best in the entire industry.
Gong Hye Jin, Damn! She's the plotting queen for me.
Even though her face is not quite eye catchy still she's one of the greatest actresses in this industry.

If you're looking for a drama with a rom-com experience, continuing with the social dilemma, and great friendship continuing through the form and representation of a Broadcasting station. Then this is it.

The only con is 24 episodes so i do feel they could've cut the drama for around 6 episodes short.
It does get slow and I did skip many parts of it nonetheless it's a great drama.
Worthy of being watched.

Final Call
8/10

Seo Hyun Jin - The Queen Of Rom-Com

At first, I hesitated to watch this drama, and I'm glad I did it finally.

Fun and creative things about life and such situations.

The best thing is the romance, God you don't get to see such a passionate love in such a creative way every time.
Watching this is a bliss ^^

I loved every bit of it.
The acting and cast are brilliant.

Seo Hyun Jin that drama can't be bad I swear.
She's the 2nd best expression queen after the great Jun Ji Hyun,
She and Jun Ji Hyun are made for Rom-Com.

ENJOY! ^^

There are lots of love . Most of them are happy .
The love in this drama is a total misery . It's a sad love .
Nothing good comes from revenge I say everytime .
This drama shows you the consequences after revenge which no other drama does .That's the biggest positive of this drama . Start this only if you wanna go through some sadness , I mean life is already hard for some of you , Why wanna experience some pain ?

Anyways It starts with I would say the worst beginning episode I have ever seen . It was just terrible . Poor direction I would say . (Searched and founded it was that scarlet ryeo director, now I know why --_-- )
After that it starts with the normal procedure of revenge with lots of bad cliche's till episode 8 or maybe half 9 .
That's it .
After that Ka Booom .. Bang .. Bang . .
You will be left dumbfounded .
It's like ashes turned to gold . The acting , the consequences , the retribution , the dialogues , songs .
Each and everything was perfect .
Makes you feel love sick watching this .
Like a taboo , a total misery in love .
The title is totally justified .
Nobody would want love in such pathetic circumstances and luck .
Don't go for my rating but watch this . It's one of the rare experiences , I forgive the director for messing this up since the last 7 episode are so good . I would say it's realistic . People love fantasy and too good to be true ending , this isn't the case here . Mind you don't be in that happy mappy mood like people usually do for love love concept and all . A sad ending but a good one .

6/10 for me . ^^

NON SPOILER REVIEW :
If you ever ask me about how people take revenge , I will do nothing but tell you to watch this drama and this is how you do it but in the end just remember revenge is self destruction and nothing else which was the message of this drama .

This was the best revenge drama one could come across . By far the best .
The execution was dumbfounding .
Each and everything was planned .
Zero plot holes . The way Kim Nam gil manipulates , moreover seduces is dumbfounding .
Ep 1-14 were excellent .
After that it turn into sorry to say to kinda disappointing pathetic melodrama , like a shit of the plot made till now but I think that was to make up for the ending episode . Originally it was planned for 20 episode it seems .
Anyways Ep 17 was good .
It has an ironical ending .
There's a big hint about the ending in this drama . ???? Try to catch it if you can.
Also Kim Nam Gil went to the military perhaps that's why a scrappy ending but still nice one .

Thus ,
Final rating 9/10
I enjoyed each and every moment of it till episode 14 .

P.S : Not so many female leads make me waver or feel something , First time i felt this way was with Song Yoon Ah in the K2 , this time it was Oh Yun Soo in this drama . She's totally mesmerizing . The way she looks and acts . I admire her . ^^

SOMETHING IS MISSING

The drama started well, but after the halfway stage, it always left you wanting more.
There was practically no proper character development in this drama which is quite surprising as a viewer.

And the writer tried to hide this by shelving some scenes from the past, back and forth to the present, using tragedy tag as a way to engage emotion which was feint.

The acting was phenomenal, and the casting was outstanding but something felt missing.

The 2nd couple felt wasted.
The 2nd MC was mostly a robot.
The always I'm a good person thing of his irritated me the most.

I would go on and say the writer lost the plot, the actors and the director filled it.
This drama relied on side characters more than it should've.

I can bet if they rewrite this script, it will do better than what it did this time.
The potential was immense.

The romance was left out too long to be explored.
Overall it's decent to watch.
Just grab your popcorn tub, binge it and sleep.
Just the right kind if that's what you're looking for.

Most real review you'll read about this drama . I'll be completely honest .
Bullshit Cliche' plot progression .
You expected a cracker plot from the historical period dramas but this ain't the case here .

Acting is good ( Jang Hyuk is the reason why I started this drama )
, fighting scenes are good but the main thing Plot is bullshit .
I mean we all some cool cliche' plot but this one was total B****
Jang Hyuk must be high on D**gs to have signed this --_--

PS : Most of those who have rated this 10 are idiot female fans drooling over fighting scenes or cool male bodies .
This is not how a drama is to be judged .
I don't know if they all left there minds or threw and played soccer with it before rating this 10 . -_--

Watch this only if you're crazy or you wanna binge watch some shitty thing to on off you mind or divert it as we all do it sometimes .

FAILED REMAKE

This drama is a remake of 'One Night Spring ' which was an outstanding drama.

I started this drama with good expectations but it completely lacks the warmth compared to the original, which is why it comes off as implying blatant cheating which is the fact in most cases.
They did edit the script only to create more flaws.
Now it's a drama about emotional instability and indecisiveness rather than taking the right path.
I somehow couldn't support both leads.

And the ML is stone-faced, bad casting IMO.
Yes, the character does demand a bit of coldness but there's a difference.
Anyway
It's not the best of the remakes but anyone who hasn't seen the original may want to watch this, but you shouldn't tbh.
It's below average and doesn't do justice to the original script, why ruin your idea about a plot that hasn't lived up to the potential as a remake?
I dropped it at EP 7.

You better watch the original if you haven't.
