  • Man, I really loved the show.

    The final showdown in the school was pretty awesome. Sad that we didn’t get a conclusion to Bong Seok x Hee Soo pair, but we’ll probably get that in the next season. Mi Hyun was just badass. I do wish we got a bit more setup for the North Koreans, although I did like the parts we did get. Seeing the big guy at the chicken shop really made me happy. They’re obviously setting up a future season, but I’m curious if we’ll get Timing first or just jump to Bridge.




  • Honestly, I was not expecting several episodes completely dedicated to the parents. I loved the romances, but was also gutted by how these ended. That said, I think the writing and action of the overall show is just brilliant. I think we’ll be back to the present in the new episode, but I just can’t wait for more. This show is just so good. I just can’t wait to get back to the kids. I’m assuming the second generation will play a more prominent role moving forward. I just want to see Bong Seok unleash the full extent of both his parents’ powers.











  • I really loved the drama towards the beginning, but I felt like it fell off over time. A lot of the plotlines felt half-baked and/or forgotten. The main plot could have used a lot more development. Like, I didn’t really feel the pain the main character had in relation to the first life. I think some of the other lives were well written, but overall, there was a lot more to be desired when it came to the past lives, especially the first one, which was supposedly the most important one. I loved the acting, cinematography, and some of the locations were beautiful, but the story itself had so much potential.

    I think Hotel Del Luna is a good comparison here. I was invested in Jang Man Wol’s story and suffering because I thought it was well-developed. They took the time to tell her life’s story through the flashbacks and I actually felt her suffering, although I also think that’s because IU is a terrific actress. I think Shin Hye Sun is great as well, but they could have utilized her range better, imo. I’m going to read the webtoon now because I heard that the story there is much better.












  • Honestly, my favourite to recommend to a newbie is Crash Landing on You, or CLOY as it is popularly known. CLOY has a bit of everything - it has the cheesy and cute romance, comedic and romcom moments, has some thriller and action sequences, and has great production value. It’s perfect to get a taste of kdrama cheesiness, in my opinion.

    On the other end of the spectrum, I’ll recommend Kingdom. It’s a zombie action thriller set in historical Korea. Great action sequences, has some political intrigue which is common for historical Kdramas, and has insanely good production value. One of the best zombie thrillers I’ve seen.
