A Well Made Thriller

Simply Awaken was a really good drama to watch. Not unfamiliar or a new different kind of a story narration but here it has a quite decent balance in both thrilling and emotional scenes which was very interesting to see. The genres were completely stick into mainly three Mystery, thriller and a bit of fantasy. and there were no unwanted or forced romance or anything like that.

In The past few years Nam Goong Min Made a big impact in drama industry he was particularly very selective for his works. Especially his last 2 works before this. He is one of the most promising actor we have now. And he has done it again here as well. His performance will be one of the main highlight of this whole show, Just awesome, Very smoothly handled a very complicated role which was outstanding.

Coming to the story and screenplay, by the way i don't want to look further into that part because you can read the synopsis and find the plot and all, but as i mentioned earlier they have a good balance in every aspects so its a kind of a very interesting screenplay also it makes logical.

Also one of the good thing that there was a very good finale Episode which so many other dramas failed to make, but here they done it brilliantly includes a very satisfying Climax also . Nothing more or less needed then that. Overall if you are a thriller fan awaken will be a best choice for you. I loved every bit of this drama without any boring. Try it

Very Brutal....

I think it's after Witch, i saw a Movie which has so many violence sequences. It's not a new thing in the k movie world. But it's been some time since a movie like this out from korean and don't think that it's an easy going film. It's very brutal after some point also disturbing.

The whole story is happening on a ship. A ship with a bunch of criminals who was transferring From Philippine to korea. Started slowly but after some time some unusual things will fall under the place, from thereon it's horrible.

No story or screenplay or even performance stand before the violence. The way they captured those bloody Brutal and bloodsheding violence is unbelievable to watch. Very creepy and definitely 18+. So watch it own your risk. Surely you will get a different experience just like Witch Part 1

Just a watchable drama

One of the most anticipated kdrama of the year just for the come back of actress Han hye joo, and in the end it's finished with pretty decent watchable drama with nothing in particular. Ongoing watching experience is always different comparing to a binge watch so i don't know how you will feel if you watch now. But even for the ongoing time this drama failed in many factors even though they had all the liberty to bring out an outstanding show.

A zombie drama always sound interesting, but here the situation they were facing was not a serious problem at all. Also the screenplay was not so well written it includes many dragging moments and most of them were unwanted. The first episode was very promising but it never continued that promise, after 9 th episode the gear shifted slightly faster but still the dragging feel you boring.

Everything completely scattered, no proper characterisation, no intense situation, they must create a do or die situation inorder to keep the audience on the edge. But it failed. Still it's not a bad drama, it's a watchable drama, there were some thrills also the background score played a big part to minimise the demerits.

Try it if u interested :-)

A clean simple beautiful heart warming drama to watch

It's been a while since i watched a beautiful slice of life romantic drama like this. The best part is that it only have 8 episodes. Very light with simple and clean narration makes you feel very heart warming every single bit of it. Plot is also looks refreshing and the duration of Episodes is around 45 min.

I don't want to enter into the plot or synopsis which you can simply read on MDL website, i prefer not to read anything before you watch, its better to kept that curiosity with you while watching.. so many good things were there, it deserves much more attention. May be subbing is from viki they delayed too much. But thank god they bought the right if not then we could have miss this beautiful drama.

The mood which the ost create was so magical to see and every time we watch a slice of life drama you will learn something from it, here also nothing changes, the hardships of life they showed was very intense. Also the relationship goals and the friendship everything was fantastic.

Highly recommended to watch.. its very heart warming drama❤️

My entire prediction about the story was completely changed in the last 2 finale episodes.. From The Beginning to end the mood of this drama was too melo dramatic sometimes you feel few laggy scenes especially in the first 5 episodes. But that wonderful plot twist was brilliant and somehow it may be an unpredictable one. That was a real turning point of this drama because everyone will feel, the concept of the time travel part was bit of illogical. The emotional scenes in the finale episode was just magical and heart touching.

The story is about a middle class young girl named kim hye ja. When she was a child She got a watch from the sea side with an supernatural ability to travel back through time. She used that watch helself many times in her life for her own purposes, but some unpredictable and mysterious events happened in her life and the things are changed over a night.

Initially the whole story where entirely predictable and there where nothing new but after that plot twist it will surely surprise you . The acting of the lead characters was superb especially in the finale episode emotional moments. I think this is a worth watching emotional drama and you should give just a try..

A gripping thriller..

There is an highlighting dialogue in the drama, The Dog's are meant to be Loved and the Pigs are meant to be slaughtered, no wonder, that may be the truth of the nature, But it has so much meaning when it coming to this story of Hwang Kyung Min and it was a very intriguing and exciting journey which something most of us are desperately looking for, Simply One of the best Emotional Thriller of the year maybe for the time being let's say An Underrated Thriller..

Plot maybe disturbing to some people. So many doesn't interested in school bullying and violance, i mean this is a statutory warning, those people don't go near to this drama. It's very brutal in terms of the content which they have showed in past incidents . What will happen if a school violance victim wants to take revenge after 20 years..? Seeking the justice for violance by violance sounds so interesting for a fictional story right..? The whole drama is about his revenge like i said in a very brutal way...

Story narration was one of the very attracting factor of the drama. Drama is moving forward with the present and past. You always curious about the things happened in the past, it's very gripping throughout the end. Some twists and turns also ended everything with a very satisfying climax..

If you're a thriller drama fan then don't miss out this..

Excellent Thriller ?

Just a fun filled watchable Drama

Royal secret agent was just a timepass Watchable drama without anything special. The plot was too cliche and the execution was just okay and managed to finish decently, for a beginner to kdrama you can fully satisfy with everything on it. But as a regular drama watcher it has nothing but a usual type of drama.

For a historical settings so many people may not interested with the period dramas but not for me i love watching historical dramas. So from the start to end i didn't felt any boring or dragging but infact there was no speciality at all, impressive start and then move like a pretty ordinary style of story telling in the finale was also just average.

For the storyline i Don't like some illogical ill-fated love relationship. I don't know why they make so complicated like this. 2 couples are the best without one men fighting for a girl, by the way am not saying there was such kind of a storyline but there was something similar to that and it kind of annoying. Apart from that thing it quite a decent story,

And its not like a too complicated political or very serious kind of a narration. They mainly filled the story with lot of fun moments. Overall its a one time Watchable dramas thats all..

A masterpiece indeed ...

You probably looking for another tvn-Netflix masterpiece after a small gap and here is the answer - 25 21 . Actually for me it was it's okay to not be okay before this, But now it must be 25 21 is my first choice if i need to decide from both. Twenty Five Twenty is the reality, pure slice of life drama with a stunning cast.

For your knowledge, if you are looking for a rom com with a cliche type of plot then it's not for you. Because the romance is only a small part of the drama, there is not much role for rom. This is actually the life which so many people can relate, drama mainly narrating the story between five people and their life journey. thier friendship, Hardship and struggles, happiness, Sadness, dicision making, Choice, Some regrets. etc. The drama has so many things to discuss with you.

Every episode is worth and for the last 3 episodes I don't know what i can say. Just amazing, life is all about dicision making and right choices which you not regret later here is no room for some forced scenes, just follow the orginal script and make a masterpiece out of it and they did it. Especially the finale episode was particularly i liked a lot. The way they finished just wow. I expected this but the experience which i got was something really special..

The come back of Kim Taeri into drama land was gifted a special drama which i can remember for a long time. All the others actor's were also good. Twenty Five Twenty One is must must watch drama if you love slice of life plots.

Really happy ?

Lee yu mi to Lee Anna Witness her Powerful Transformation. Ann is simply Superb

"It was always been like that.. i always do everything i set my mind to..."

These lines were always pop up in the start of every episode. Ann is simply a superb drama. It's short and slow with a very unique and intense narration, slowness is the real beauty of this narration.

Coming to the plot, What happens when you continuously started to make lies, Stolen an identity and live with that...? First time you think it's normal but and it becomes an habit but after some pom you will eventually face the real battle in between truth and the lie you make. From a simple ordinary girl Lee Yu Mi to the powerful Lee Anna, that transformation is indeed amazing.. She had her own reasons for everything she did so far but things started to fall slowly.. rest of everything... you should watch and find out.

The performance is the key. Bae Suzy. Always a fan boy of her. Yet again proved that she is an outstanding performer. Anna's writing was really engaging. Never felt any boring because the story and screenplay constantly growing through you. You can actually feel the intensity of that character and the atmosphere it creates.

Don't hesitate. Just give it a try 45 min per episode with a total of only 6 Episodes. I don't think people will disappoint after watching it.. try it....

Simple and Heartwarming

Fanletter is a very simple and heartwarming drama without any complicated storyline. We can surely call it a relaxing drama, because if you are tired of watching all those complicated storylines, then this will give you a break for sure, you can sit back and relax and watch peacefully without any tensions and Only 4 episodes with a very beautiful screenplay.

The cast was the main attraction. The chemistry between the main leads was so adorable to watch also that small kid and her cuteness were overloaded in all 4 episodes. I felt some dragging after E02 may be because of not much complications in the story which i mentioned earlier. But it is only my personal view. You can actually predict all the things.

Nothing more to say, E04 was beautiful, Even though everything was cliche, the amount of emotions they brought to those climax scenes were really beautiful, the ending also looks Good. Worth your time.. if you like simple feel good dramas, then try it.

Not completely satisfied, Just Okay

First of all a complete let down. Apart from the cast and some story deviations, there is nothing particularly different from the orginal version. Some sources said it's a continuation of the main heist happened in Spain, like a spin-off i mean a heist that happening from the inspiration from the main heist, but it's all are fake. Because to be honest it's just a scene by scene copy like an exact remake which we usually see.

Lets talk about the positive side, i already mentioned earlier about cast. It looks super cool. If you're a regular kdrama viewer then u can enjoy the show differently from others Because of the cast. Another thing was the story was moving really fastly without much dragging. May be they aware of the fact that it's already a hit show from Spain so better avoid unwanted dragging and make everything smooth and fast to ensure a better watching experience. But it's very disappointing for me because that's not something exciting, all the scenes were just okay. Quality making is also a plus point.

I thought of a different version here. But it's different only with some changes in the situations also the back stories of the characters etc. Not recommending to anyone. If you interested then try it that's all.. S02 and more will be coming later for sure....

A freshing and not everyone's taste

Do You Like Brahms is not everyone cup of tea for sure , this drama is very warm and slow paced which slowly move to you and in some point, you may get bored because of some unnecessary love traingle caught up in middle, But as fan of melo dramas i personally into that zone and it was a great experience for me overall. This is a musical melo drama which mainly focused not just music but also the relationships. Definitely OSTs plays a big part in there to create a beautiful mood throughout the drama which was superb

So many people may feel very draggy in the middle especially because of the unrequited and too cliché love triangles which always there and we see that in so many times before and its really annoying sometimes. When the couples started to getting stronger then it doesn't matter but again 2nd herion was too annoying throughout the show

The storyline is a kind of healing nature i meant there always problems and then consolidation, struggles, etc which we seen quite a few times in k dramas so there is nothing new about it all, but it was beautifully narrated. Another important factor that the Romance between the lead couples were really beautiful there were a few good moments which was good , thier chemistry was superb. Not particularly pointing out any character because i liked most of every characters and they were brilliant.

This drama is very slow pace drama and you have to be patient, a heart warming musical journey i personally liked a lot.. Happy Watching ..

Don't miss this Masterpiece....

The best i mean the best which i seen this year. What an ending. 1 will give hundred out of hundred. Most of the dramas are lacking in their ending part. But Hong Sisters (writers) are different. They made a complete wholesome ending experience for viewers. This is a weird feeling, i don't know why . because may be after so many dramas i got an experience which i always desperate. Don't miss this guys...

I always had this hope before i started this, knew this is going to be the best because it's from the writer of masterpiece Hotel DelLuna. Even though there is a 20 long episode in the first season, still i didn't have any compliant, because every week the progress of the story is very interesting to watch. The script is stand tall all the time. Never have any compramise when coming to that. Hat's off to the writers for that.

Screenplay is also keeping that curiosity factor alive for the next episode. You will definitely fall in love with almost all the characters. Because it was lovely written. Making also wonderful. The story is big and for that reason they can't conclude everything with just 20. So it's renewing with a season 2. Which is coming this December.

Acting also top class. All the actors who done their role perfectly. They said it was a fantasy romance. But at first am not so interested in the romantic part also not bothered about the love triangle. But actually it's clean. I mean the triangle part is not boring. As i said after few episodes i had that curiosity how will they end up. And when coming to the finale episode the chemistry is amazing.

Alchemy of Souls is a must watch. Never miss this masterpiece. and lastly i want say something... All the writers of kdrams should learn from hong sisters. Not only the beginning but also the ending matters. Give me something which i can cherish for a long time..but not the crap forced ending... I want a complete satisfaction because i invested 16 or 20 hours for ur writing... thanks a lot. Hong Sisters, eagerly waiting what your going to make in season 2...

Don't miss... Must Must Must watch................

A treat for Zombie Thriller lovers ....

(Non Spoiler Review)

No matter what, always stick to the orginal content, there is no compromise in the story and its very brutal, Netflix Orginal drama doesn't disappoint us these days. Every month they brought something really worth for time. All of us are dead probably one of the best zombie thriller i have had watched in recent time. The concept of zombie is now become a cliché, even though this whole drama was a different experience.

This is a webtoon adaptation with same name, the episodes numbers were increased which was unusual for a Netflix Orginal drama also some episode length were little bit high. Some people may feel little dragging in the middle and its understandable because they slowly making this whole atmosphere more and more intense. The making was one of the key factor. Its just unbelievable every time when you watching a zombie thriller. The performance of all those zombie looks scary, here also it's insane.

I didn't felt much of a dragging in the screenplay as i already mentioned they slowly developing the seriousness of the situation. May be we can predict almost every scene that coming next but still some breathtaking moments were there, which gives you a different experience for sure. The performance of the leads was good especially some stories like this, there is always have one or two annoying character who gets all attention, that feels super cliché. But eventually you get annoyed and that's what the makers want.

The emotional scenes, Friendship, little bit of romance also little bit of love triangle, everything was good and perfect fit. Overall all of us are dead is a must watch drama if you are a zombie thriller fan. Every episode is thrilling and engaging till the end. Try it

Everything was perfect until E08 after that......

For me Little Women was just a decent Watchable drama. Everything look so interesting and gripping in the start, too many Mysteries with a very good story telling, plot twists, and more. But all are for nothing actually from E09. Slowness is ok. Because i already knew this probably a slow poison in the start but i was completely wrong to be honest. Because after E08 everything is predictable or i predicted almost everything.

So for me, i lost all the excitement. E08 ending was lit. But it all spoiled in the starting of E09. Politics is also unbearable. Too many unwanted story complications for nothing actually. If you think there will be a grand twist coming after all this, then don't fool yourself. Nothing was there. Actually if you can easily predict everything...

I thought this would be a good mystery serial murders kind of a story telling and unfold a large mystery with an unbelievable twist or something like this. But if you just look back after all 12 episodes you will probably get what i mean infact there was nothing but too many complication ?

Stunning cast and performance. And some characterisation, oh sister's are brilliant, even a simple detailing of their behaviour is superbly narrated. But it doesn't support the story.

Overall it's not a bad drama or must watch drama, it was a simple and decent drama to watch. Too many dragging after E08. Some point i thought even for just a 12 episodes they took so many time to conclude that story and what happen if they took 16.. ?

It's only my personal view.
