Me ha sorprendido gratamente!!!

Actualizado al final: Estoy por el capítulo 7 y no puedo parar! Qué drama juvenil tan bueno!!! Las actuaciones son de calidad, la trama te engancha y la química de los protagonistas es muy bonita!!! Es muy interesante como el drama retrata el mundo del kpop desde dentro de manera bastante realista. Pues aunque el tono de la serie es de comedia romántica no deja de denunciar ciertas aspectos oscuros que existen detrás de la apariencia idílica de la vida de los idols: La presión a la que están sometidos, los comportamientos de algunos fandoms, las exigencias de los productores, su limitada vida privada, etc. La recomiendo muchísimo!
FINAL: Me reitero en las impresiones que tuve de los primeros capítulos, Imitation es una serie juvenil muy buena con interpretaciones de actores bastante noveles que dan la talla, momentos dramáticos muy bien hechos y una trama que te engancha. El final perfecto!!! Además es corta, perfecta para ver cuando uno ha acabado otros dramas más heavys o oscuros. Te deja bien calentito el corazón.

Semantic Error was...an error

As a long time fan of Park Seoham and KNK, and is also familiar with DKZ, I’m sad to say that this was lukewarm at best. The acting was cringey at times; perhaps not being able to take Seoham seriously is a personal issue knowing he’s such a goofball, but at times it looked like he was holding back laughter or trying too hard to be cool. Much of the acting, like some kdramas, feel unnatural or very 2D. I couldn’t feel the romance, let alone bromance. The bantering was adorable at times but ‘gotcha’ moments weren’t hitting as they should be.

The story, overall, isn’t too messy but it felt slow and draggy for an 8-episodes-25 minutes-each series. The timeline wasn’t the clearest. Did they fall in love within two weeks? But Sangwoo’s birthday is in October? Jaeyoung leaving for France in the middle of the semester? So he won’t be graduating again? I’m confused.

I’m a big fan of Yuna, Jaeyoung’s female friend. Her character is so fun, calm, and badass. If she gets together with Jihye, I think they’ll make a cuter couple than Jaeyoung and Sangwoo. Originally, Jihye seemed like an innocent girl with little confidence, but she turned out stronger than I thought. Her straightforwardness would go well with Yuna’s relaxed attitude. And whatever happened to Hyeongtaek’s confession lol?

I don’t have a lot to say as nothing really happens but I do like the cast, the music, and the storyline of game designing. I did wish they used and had a wider range of music but that’s creative differences so--

Under the surface, there is a good and believable story

I can't decide if I like this. I liked the acting of the opera actor, but the other one tired me. So, I couldn't really forget myself in the story and enjoy it. If the actors act like they themselves are the center of the show and the role is not important to them, it gets tiring. Also, there are tons of clichés, lots of unoriginal tropes and lots of predictable subplots.

The premise is good and it has some good sub-plots, but there are a lot of slow scenes and episodes full of repeatable content and a lot of careful walking around the issue. There is strong BL element, although not explicit. However, this is just part of the story. If teh writers didn't try to much to avoid censorship and paid attention to the rest of the plot, it would have been a good plot.

To be honest, I speed-clicked a lot through thte episodes.

Came for the webtoon, stayed for the drama

It was different from what I was expecting. Rather than a complete adaption from the webtoon, the drama went a very different way. I thought it'd end up with a more open ending, which could possibly lead to a season 2, but it doesn't look like we'll get one, based on the ending of the series.
From the beginning, it seems that Suho is destined to end up with Jugyeong. As a hardcore Seojun fan, I'll admit, the story did disappoint me. I truly wish he was at least given a fighting chance to get with Jugyeong, rather than being thrown a bone on the second to last episode. I'm happy he ended up happy though, at the end of the series, he seems to be over Jugyeong or at least close to it, which is nice. I started reading the webtoon a long time ago, but the way Jugyeong treats Seojun is nothing like I remember. From what I remember, it was very much a 2 sided friendship, but in the drama, it feels like Seojun's doing so much for her, while she's not really doing anything in exchange, but I guess that could be because it's unrequited love. I'm gonna be honest here, despite preferring Seojun in the webtoon, I really enjoyed Suho and Jugyeong's relationship in the drama. Sure, it was cheesy at times and kinda cliché, but I liked it personally. I loved the Heegyeong story line. Seeing her and her jamong was beautiful, it really added a lot of comedy relief and cuteness.
I could be wrong (because I haven't watched a drama in a year or two, prior to this) but I don't think I've seen any of the main cast act before, but I'm so glad to have seen it. I thought the acting was really nice, I'm really tempted to follow the actors other endeavors, especially Hwang In Yeop, who's gonna be in Annarasumanara (very good manhwa btw, I'm excited to see how he's gonna play Il Deung).
The music in this drama is honestly great, considering the webtoon plot has the same musical backstory for the boys, it was up to par. My girl Yuju did so well on 'I'm in the mood for dancing', that song was in my head for like a week I SWEAR. Honestly I feel like it could've been used a bit more, but still the music was really good. I'm not gonna lie, I did in fact shed a tear when Seojun was singing the trios song.
Would I watch this again? Definitely, but probably not for a good year or two AT LEAST. As much as I enjoyed the show, I really do think they did my boy Seojun dirty, but at least everyone's happy. This drama's gotten me re-interested in dramas, so I wanna find new stuff rather than dwell on shows I've already watched.

This is the first time I have watched a sageuk drama (historical dramas bore me so much) but The Tale of Nokdu is something different.

Truthfully speaking, this was not on my list at all because as I have said, historical dramas bore me. But I came across Jang Dongyoon and Kim Sohyun's rain kiss bts on facebook and their chemistry was exploding! So I gave this drama a try and boy did I not regret watching it. This has become my FAVORITE KDRAMA OF ALL TIME!

From episode 1 up to episode 32, there were no boring scenes. Everything looked interesting. The plot twists were surprising. This drama made me laugh so much on the first episodes, it made me mad and cry on the other half. The actors/actresses did a good job portraying their roles. I have never seen such powerful casts that blended perfectly with each other. No one was better than the other or weaker than the rest. Every casts showed perfect performance. Not to mention how close they are off cam, that is why TTON family is one of the best. Their bond is more than just work, they are a family.

Jang Dongyoon and Kim Sohyun? I swear directors are making a big mistake on not casting them on another kdrama! These two are made for each other (on and off cam). Their chemistry is all over the place and have yall watched their bts vids? They're so comfortable with each other! I have seen comments about KSH being most comfortable with JDY than her other co-stars and I think that says a lot about their friendship. I really hope they'd end up together in real life but if they don't, I hope they'd remain friends forever.

The OST? This drama has got the best songs and I'm not even being biased here. The production team does know how to insert the right background music on a scene that it makes you feel twice the emotion you're feeling. I've been listening to the ost since the day I finished watching TTON and it just makes me miss this kdrama more.

The ending satisfied me. The writers gave us an ending that is a combination of reality (parts of this kdrama were based on actual history) and imagination, and I think that's what makes it perfect. No kdrama has ever given me peace after finishing it and TTON just gave me what I asked for.

I highly recommend that you give this drama a try. I really love this drama that I have rewatched it just days after finishing it. It's perfect in it's own way - the casts, the production team, the story, the ost, the cinematography (it was so lit, I tell you!) and a lot more were done perfectly. I'm not over TTON yet and I'm 100% sure that I will never move-on from this. It will be hard for me to watch another kdrama for weeks because TTON just owned my heart. I miss TTON family so much!

This is a fantastic series! As a huge fan of the original Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim, to be truthful, I did not have any expectations before watching season 2. And boy how I was wrong to think the sequel could not conquer the first season. If anything, I would put both of the series alongside each other in terms of how captivating and beautiful they are. First off, this series, while keeping some of the original characters, offered other, very lovable and unique new leads, which made Doldam Hospital shine once again. I live for the character development in this series. It almost feels like that hospital in the countryside draws in very talented and charming individuals. Coming into this show I was very hyped to see Doctor Kim again! He is a very talented and lovable, both, as a character and as an actor. Compared to the first season, this one as well, had a very steamy romance, where the chemistry worked out perfectly (even with the side characters). Second, all of the cast is so lovable, even the bad guys at times. I enjoyed the little cameo that Doctor In Bom had for a bit. Third, the OST was as memorable as ever, with some songs definitely going into my playlist. Finally, this series left me amazed at how well it was executed. The staff behind this drama did an amazing job building a season 2. They need to make a final, 3rd season, with the reunion of the whole talented Doldam Hospital staff to wrap things up! Go watch both of the seasons right now!

One Piece fans satisfied

That scene in the end had me in tears really well done series. Some awkward moments but overall great production. Another medium to add to the one piece collection and as I fan I'm grateful it is being so well received. Love the cast and even though things were different I went with the changes and wasn't too critical of everything. Great OST and the fight scenes exceeded my expectations. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Average for it's genre.

Don't get me wrong, this is a pretty decent show. But at the same time the ending didn't satisfied me at all.
It ended like this in order to have more seasons ofc but idk... for me it lacked smt.

Survival movies or tv shows are never a concept i find revolutionary, so i think it's pretty funny how of all the kdramas out there, this one is the most watched on Netflix. Not only that but it's the TOP2 most watched shows on Netlix of all time.
I understand everything and all that, but if i ever survived such a crazy hell i would either end up killing myself regardless or just really living and doing everything i've ever wanted. Might as well... what's the worst that can happen?
