Sehun and joon young's chemistry carries the entire show.

I mean Sehun and joon young's back must hurt.

But on a more serious note, jun hee and You's relationship was... another level. I found myself imagining them growing old together, in nursing homes together and still having the same energy they did back in high school. Dare I say they are competing with Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook for the best bromance imo?

Then f-ing Han So Yeon. She was as important as the classroom furniture imo and what they had was too precious for her to break. This show could have been perfect without her I could not empathise with her at all. I mean PMS theft? Stealing is just stealing and I could not understand or empathise with it at all, I'm sorry if that makes me a bad person but that's just me.

All in all this show made me think about what it would be like to have that one friend who is your soulmate and I think they should remove the romance tag because honestly, we would be fine without it.

Rewatch for Sehun and joon young's chemistry and nothing else.

The true punishment in Death’s “game”

I’ve seen a lot of comments about this show’s narrow minded approach towards suicide and I felt the need to write a review.

Based on my interpretation, Death’s game isn’t aiming to explore suicide as a whole but it rather hones in on one suicide in particular; Choi Yi Jae’s. Not due to the fact that he committed it in the first place but his frame of mind, reason and attitude not just towards death herself, but also life.

Choi Yi Jae is ultimately a proud and selfish character, not just in life, but also death. His narrow minded views on life and what it meant ultimately led him to the decision to commit suicide. While there are various reasons why one might kill him/herself, his’ is ultimately selfish and reckless. He didn’t truly aim to die, death was just ultimately the easiest way out of his present circumstances which he aimed to escape and for this reason, death punishes him.

I believe that with all the numerous and creative ways which he died, The true punishment was not death itself but the slow and painful realization of what death was trying to teach him. One of the first things we are shown is Choi Yi Jae’s desire to live and that under different, “better” circumstances he was willing to fight hard for his survival. Death aims to open his narrow mind and give him a sort of bird’s eye view on life and death through the lives of these 12 very different people. He is able to see how his choice affected the people he left behind, and how he did in fact have reasons to live, reasons he took for granted, but only when the his loved one dies does he realize the true punishment was not these deaths itself but the regret and pain he feels as he slowly looses himself in between all these lives and realizes that he did in fact have an opportunity because what at that time felt like everything to him was only in fact a small part of his life and there was a greater more precious and meaningful part of it that he had completely missed out on in that one single act of recklessness because you only ever truly have one life and one chance. There ARE no do overs.

That being said, I believe that the ending would have been better if he wasn’t given the chance to go back after reaching the full realization at the end of the 12 lives so as to emphasize the fact that you only have ONE chance.

What it means to be a mother

There's a kind of pain want to start this review by talking about.
I first heard of this kind of pain when I read and watched Margret Atwood is the handmaid's Tale.in her book she talks about akind of pain that is so deep that you laugh. When I read about this I thought how much plain does a person have to be in to laugh instead of instead of cry. That’s the kind of pain this show made me feel. that’s how emotional invested I was in the show.

Kang soo Jin and Kim Hye Na spend 50 days on the run. 50 days as mother and daughter. 50 days as Kim yoon Bok. From the moment soo Jin found hye na in that trash bag outside her house I felt everything. I was in so much pain and when soo Jin and yoon bok are seperated, the pain is so deep that I laugh. I couldn’t stop laughing because we were there. Not almost we were there. And then we hear the sirens. The escape was so close that we touched it and then we hear the sirens. I couldn’t stop laughing and then I couldn’t stop crying.

This show has one thing and one thing only to tell you. Not everyone can be a mother. The courage to risk everything and give up everything for a child, not everyone has that.

Had potential to be one of the best shows of the year

It was no surprise that Kang min hyuk and Park guy young were perfect as seo ah ri and Han Joon kyung. Kang min hyuk played my favorite character and one half of my favorite couple on heirs.

This show had a lot of potential and started out great. But the pacing I guess? It was like they were having so much fun with the plot that they forgot that they had only 12 episodes to tell the entire story and then before they realized it was already episode 11.
Like this show had it all. The tension was there, the leads had so much chemistry and I was so invested in the plot like I wanted to find out so bad who BBB famous was and when her best friend was sitting in the police station l literary screamed and was like OMG this is insane is it her friend? But it turned out to be nothing and it actually turned aut to be this unknown extra and then she killed herself and we were throwing like some kind of pity party for her? Like why that girl was literally a terrorist and she never gave us an explanation for her actions and the entire live stream turned out to be a deepfake


All in all I Don't regret watching but idk is I will be rewatching. Maybe just for the leads.

Lighthearted and natural

There is not a lot of things to say about this drama other than.

There are a lot of dramas where the main leads have good chemistry. Theirs however, was on a whole new level.

Their interactions were so beautiful and natural.

It was real and lighthearted and so sweet my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. It was kind of like a work of art.
