The first few episodes were good. Then, it got very dull, repetitive and predictable. Slow, boring and so stuffed with filler. It would have been better as a 10, maybe 12 episode show.
This is basically a modern retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo, with a few twists.
Also, Soo Ah deserved so much better.
If you want/like neuroatypical characters It's Okay Not to be Okay is a much better choice. If you like evil villains who can hold a grudge, Crash Landing on You is awesome. If you enjoy good romance CLoY, While you Were Sleeping and period drama Love in the Moonlight/Moonlight Drawn by Clouds are infinitely superior and all have great chemistry between the leads. If you love Park Seo Jun, I'd recommend What's Wrong with Secretary Kim a cute romantic comedy.

@abtr I liked Itaewon class much much more than It's okay not to be okay, very different tone, target, etc. I liked also CLoY and While You Were Sleeping so I will check Love in the moonlight and What's wrong.
I’ve seen like 10 kdramas at most.. and I’m quite satisfied with this one. For me, as for software engineer, it was impressive to see many tech stuff which was so true. Every technical term, every stuff that happened on computer screen was not bullshit, it was the way it is in real life. Although not sure why to use windows instead of Linux when you’re developing with python :) but else than that it’s perfect. Regarding business side everything I’ve heard from investor guy sounded like for real, they truelly done their homework and consulted regarding many stuff especially the way startup accelerator works :) Using Lidar technology in self driving car was just my personal wow part :) it’s quite new tech and it’s in the script of 2020 tv series - that’s a level up. Else than that ending was crap. Love triangle was good I believe, I’ve been in one, that represents almost my own experience. Not too much romance, there are very dramatic places which doesn’t feel like soap opera, it does look dramatic for real :) that’s probably the only Korean tv series which were so close to real life than other Korean tv series I’ve seen previously. I really wish to see season 2 :)

Another very boring chapter. And now they sum up three... Also, I dislike the new style of drawing. Eren. Reiner, Bertholt, Annie didn't even look like themselves.

@rayattarahman8 no, with the designs I meant about the flashback Annie, Berth old and Reiner.
I mentioned Eren because that even resembles less but is the one that has a bit of justification because of the time passed. The other three share timeline in the flashback with the previous sessions.
I really hope it improves and probably I'll catch up soon in the manga.

The greatest anime series of a generation finally reaches its grand conclusion. 10 years of drama and controversies, especially among the fandom over the manga ending, it's truly been a ride.
This was solid, although there are still loose ends and lots of questions that remain unanswered. And all that other stuff: multiple delays, changing of animation studios before the final season even began, the "questionable" plot twist into the final season, and much more other controversial things that I best rather leave out for internet enthusiasts and adventurers to find out.
Now, for the ending. It was satisfying.Let me explain: Was it the perfect ending? No. Could it have been better? Yes. But then again, it could have gotten any worse than what it was already, from the source material. As another reviewer pointed out, it's more of a compromised ending, between the fans' expectations and the infamous manga ending.
This, honestly in my opinion, is a good example of "a show doesn't need always need a happy ending, just a perfect one"9/10

@proxevo "the "questionable" plot twist into the final season"
What do you mean?
I have seen the serie binge watch last time and I didn't notice something like you said.
So the theory that in s1 Naksu was in Buyeon's body has been finally confirmed! I don't know whether I'm still fully convinced that Buyeon's soul is dead, since she does have divine powers after all...

@kate-fylu but that is know almost from mid-seasson...
This series is really cool and has a great and involving history, episode 4 and you already care and root for the characters as well as hating the villains, makes me sad that korean dramas usually don't have more than one season, cause I can see myself going back to this for many seasons.

@gabsmoth-deleted-1596382126 I think 16 chapters are perfect for most of the dramas. More will be prone to error or filling or stupidiness
One of the most amazing stories Great cast and teaches good moral values 10/10 for character development just don’t think of this as a sweet romantic story it totally has a great plot and storyline and would love to see this new actor Kim da min
The age gap between the main characters was not a good idea but it just depends on the taste of the viewer it’s just not my thing
Romance was totally good if don’t mind that , there are not much of romantic scene to start withloading replies
@shubham_jha10 I think you are going to like Our beloved summer. Though I still prefer Itaewon Class.

Finally somebody understands the possibilities of bending. Homma is a revolutionary. Katara, predictably outlaws the practice(We find out in legend of Korra) of course ensuring that the practice would be remembered in a way it never would have been if it hadn't been outlawed and brought attention to. I love Katara for her compassion but she is not a leader.

@juliusspeyton I just though from the beginning. You can freeze water but you can't freeze blood? you can kill instantly all you want. Nice the scripters introduced this.
What a huge letdown compared to Divergent... This totally feels like a Mockingjay Part 1 ripoff. Story is not really developing. There's not enough action but mostly some cliché drama between the two main characters. Not to say that they stole a lot of elements from The Matrix and Inception for the cinematography (which is still the strongest part of the movie). Last but not least: Most disappointing ending ever.
loading replies
@iammarth interesting point of view. I however think than Matrix, Inception, etc. are just a big rip off of Philip K. Dick's concepts.
This movie makes me want to take Something in the Rain and One Spring Night off of my Netflix watchlist. :see_no_evil:

@rayattarahman8 I am reading it right now, but I haven't reached the anime yet. It doesn't change the fact that this chapter was boring, even with Eren making a philosophical discourse. You can say that is calm before storm. Ok, but it was boring. Maybe I am not used to see chapters alone, I have seen the previous seasons always without pauses, in a marathon, not chapters with a week of separation. Maybe is that I don't feel any connection with Marley characters and I don't care about them.
The feeling until now is that I am disappointed. I hope the next chapters have more storm and prove me wrong. I have seen 3 times the previous seasons so I compare with that.
First one of the series I've actually enjoyed & the most Black-Mirror-like so far. What it was nothing like was the original short story Exhibit Piece by PKD, except in the name of the main character. I honestly don't know why they used PKD's name, if they were just going to make up their own stories in the vein of Black Mirror. Unless they just wanted to piss off PKD fans, of course.

@kanootcha @horizonmars I think both of you are talking about "Real Life" right?
One of the oldest stories in the genre and one writer Philip K. Dick revisted numerous times. It is no wonder some users have compared it to his other «adaptation» Total Recall as this story is also about a dream journey and the question of identity. A lesbian Anna Paquin add to the fun but it is not much surprises here besides that one hot idea.

@dangigernes This is not "Real life" but "The hood maker". The order is mess up (1 with 5).
