rly great story w amazing pacing!! at some stage, they flipped focus from the seol-hogae-dojin trio to seol-hojae and now seol-dojin. when we were at seol-hogae, it felt like dojin was being thrown aside, but as we came to the close of s1, it did feel like they were bringing things in again. not loving these ‘pitiful second lead’ vibes, but let’s see how we go! overall rly great fun, amazing contrast between the gravity of the different emergencies (and the variety!) vs comedic relief w the pil-gae duo!

maybe bc i had this on the backburner for so many years, i rly had it hyped up in my head. it was as soul-destroying as i thought, but beyond the depth of the cases, i didn’t think it was hugely profound,, still, rly cool to see yikyung play a more serious role compared to the goofy comedy roles i’ve seen up til now

this was visually very very nice! ryu kyungsoo’s performance was BY FAR the most impressive in this film,, i look forward to seeing him in more films moving forward

this was such a joy! i looked forward to every weekend that this was airing. it’s everything you’d want in a drama and the relationships between the characters rly made this one compelling

this was shot sosososo beautifully and i knew this before even stepping in. tang wei is so beautiful and the film was so vibey

once AGAIN im siwan SIRRRR everything else was nonsense, not believable mc @ chun woohee and the PLOT HOLES made me want to scream

a good light film with a brilliant cast,, nothing special to note

this one was probably also overhyped bc of that impressive scene w the marker pen,, still jeon doyeon is a joy to watch and the action scenes were rly good,, a bit too gory for my liking, but still appreciate it as a whole!

it is getting more and more difficult for me to enjoy fantasy bc of the cgi, but it was nice to dive back into kim wook and panseok’s adventures,, it was so sad to see ilyong go

this was such a nice time! i didn’t find any of the characters to be unlikeable and i found myself torn between the two leads! so well casted!! my one complaint would be that i would’ve loved to see more of how miran’s change of heart came to be. i would assume her convo w her mum was the turning point, but something explicit or more emotive would have been rly cool,, i find myself liking more of these mature romances as i too am entering a new age bracket

more of the same type of thing but no complaints about that! hajun’s arc was exciting and doki’s transformations were what made it. my favourite was farmer!doki,, i hope jehoon plays Any role he wants following this! this guy’s got range

17y/o alina would’ve Screamed at this dystopian hellverse (one of her favourite things),, so fascinating to see yooseok in not-a-BL and he was casted rly perfectly for this role!

finally finally finally finished this! it was nice to tick it off the list,, yoo ina is so fun in romcoms

segments of dialogue were rly good but i felt that the narratives didn’t really come together? it was simultaneously rly slow and rly ambitious w how much weight they aimed to pull off?

one i watched on a flight! this was so goofy, the way the guys in the north and south schemed to claim their lottery ticket,, a nice comedy

nothing too complex abt the storytelling here,, what pulls the heartstrings more than the bond between someone at the beginning of their life and someone nearing the end of theirs

i am so glad i stuck this out! it helped that it was v much an implied, atmospheric horror and we didn’t have to deal w very grotesque imagery,, the acting really made this one Sell, like kim taeri (my first time watching her) was Incredible i rly do hope she snags a bunch of awards for her performance in revenant. everything came together rly nicely and i’m relieved there wasn’t a forced romance between hongsae and sanyoung,, not to discount oh jungse’s acting either,, he was awesome

i had a rly good time watching this! ban jieum was just a rly rly rly attractive character and her confidence and charisma is everything i wish to have,, i did feel that the plot was a bit rushed towards the end, but it still wrapped up nicely. really great soundtrack too with songs i’ve added to my monthlys!

it took me 3 sittings of about 3 months between each to get through this! i rarely watch hs drama anymore and even less do i watch gang drama,, but it was rly well acted, rly rly rly well done jihoon,, i’m v curious abt where s2 will go!

here begins my webdrama binge! this one was a nice lil quick one to get through. hongyeon’s a funny character and i like the characters’ silly interactions w each other in her vlogs. the laughter feels genuine so it’s nice to see them having a good time

YES YECHAN GEDDITTTTTT

SOOOOO impressed by all the performances in this and the production! unexpected casting (bc i didn’t check to see who was casted in the first place) so it was a joy to see raewon and yikyung uwuwuwuwu kyungsoo was AMAZING he’s such a talented person

drama of the y e a r
