Waited so long to watch it. Instantly rewatched. Easily my fav BL just after We best love. I have never seen such a beautiful man as Yusei . Hoping for 2nd season quicker than 2023/2024
It was such a beautiful story!
I went in deep knowing only that my fav actor is playing and Ive seen some funny scenes and some romance. After the half episodes went by I knew that was only the surface of the whole story and I was surprised that I really didn't mind. I get so easily bored with criminal/politic plots, I loved that so many years ago and just got used to. I knew almost all twist and resolutions of problems and yet I STILL didnt mind bc the stary in itself was amazing. The best road from a scumbag to a hero I've seen in tv and it was my favourite actor that could portray such a role? I seriously wouldn't change anything so I cannot give it less than 10/10.
It seems to greatly portray the mental issues, the manipulations of fragile people and the arc is schematic but so well done and acted. Lee Dong Wook doesn't dissapoint in any role he's given. I will remember the drama for a long time. Pleasantly surprised.
I thought it could be either good or really boring... it was amazing! The horror, the romance, the comedy, the suspense... Every character was somewhat likeable but the three leads from the first scenes are astonishing. I have never experienced sth like this, there was a scene when the entire sound vanished after not so shocking line but I definitely stopped breathing from anticipation. Beautifuly and CREATIVELY done. The fairy tales were amazing as well.
Yes, some things pissed me off... some mistakes were done repeatedily without learning from the consequences and some things were either omitted or too easily forgiven but the main leads do such an amazing job in especially dramatic scenes that I don't really care about it that much after finishing the drama. I will recommend this to anyone. Don't be afraid of the psychological theme being boring... It has so much beautiful messages.
This is a pearl found by accident by me. The world needs more shows from this kind of 'tell a story in one season'. It's still hella engaging but it's wrapped up amazingly and with logic. Nowadays, there a ton of shows which soudn't be picked up for 3rd, 7th or even more seasons. We need sth fresh and that's one of the fresh ideas.
How the f it is ended with that ending?!!!!!
Btw. seriously clicked bc of boredom, didnt think I would last even a whole ep. I watched it all in one sitting. Crushed bc of Hyun-soo's changing in the last ep but that ending?!! I hate open endings and this is too many questions for an usual open ending. Also T.T bc Eun-Hyeok's death. I liked him from the beginning.
It's so interesting that Netflix's Cursed which I just watched was marketed everywhere and presumed to be a definite great series and it really doesn't have the best reviews now where Warrior nun weren't marketed anywhere and I just saw the poster here by accident and as of now it has better ratings. I really anticipated Cursed and haven't feared about it bc I thought that if the trailer was great the series will be better. Well, I was incorrect. I didn't watch the whole trailer for Warrior nun bc I was interested enough and yet thought that if it wasn't so highly recommended everywhere it probably isn't that great but I wanted to know by watching the series not seeing sth not great in the trailer. Well IT WAS A FUCKING DELIGHT!!
I really thought the chick will be sooner in the Church and will be taught to fight and all, I anticipated that, and I was wrong. But the story, tho mainly the main character was running from it and discovering herself, was still really entertaining. Idk if it was for the actress or the character, maybe both, but really this happy, flowy, optimistic but yet insecure and depressive.... Shes everything but nothing as well (yet). I really appreciated the narration stuff... Im always hating the scenes where characters who are loners have to talk to themselves or to an animal etc to give us a proper understanding of what goes inside their heads. It's so unreal.
I loved the friendship but not so friendly friendship, the lore was discripted vastly tho there is a feel it isn't wholy known yet. There is so much yet to be discovered in the next season. This one ends on a clifhanger so be warned... I wasn't and I feel angry now that I don't even know if I get to see the end to that scene bc Netflix is so random in giving chances to its series.
I am really shocked that I liked it so much, that I was interested in the many eps without "magic" or fighting as well as the ones who had these scenes. The twist at the end maybe not so new was still shocking in a way. I recommend everyone interested enough to see for yourself, not listed to your expectations over the couple sentences about the plot.
So I see many complaints about the timeline of the story... Ive read the books years ago and yes, I found it kind of confusing at the beginning. I knew the timeline and I thought its Netflix's idea to chaotically show the story but by the 3rd episode Ive found couple of hints in the dialogues with which people can understand that Yennefers story is when father of Calanthe is on the throne, Geralts when Calanthe is, and Ciris when Cintra was in flames. So stick to couple of eps before you make a decision to leave the show.
And I must say that the books, the two tomes of short stories (!!) give a little chaos to the timeline too. Not to spoiler anyone, between the stories Geralt is in a place with people with whom he talks about the events after all of the short stories. So complain to Sapkowski and watch the show to the end ! The Finale is marvellous and Im totally not objective as Yennefer will always be my fav character in the Witcher: movie, shows, books, or the games:D
I think revenge plots are my favourite in kdramas xD But also so many unexplained things and missed opportunities for actors to shine more.
We never got a reveal for Jun Kyoung that Ari is dead and also that Ari might be alive. I wanted this so bad only for the purpose to see actors talent bc i was mesmerized about his ability to convey emotions so quickly and clearly as he did during the kiss scene. He was focused on reading Aris emotions then in a second he was shocked but then the feeling and determination changed his face i was so excited to see more for him but we didnt get that.
I would also love to see aftermath for every celebrity at the end. After some time not like during which we got. Did Angela became a full on prostitute? And what with the others? Some quickly decreasing followers numbers and maybe their occupations afterwards would be amazing.
What also bugs me the most is we never saw why/how Aris family bancrupted, we didnt get answers for her "uncle" and mothers behaviour. They just were like that without us knowing the full story. Also why Ari hated on Jun Kyoung that much at the beginning, even if its for his money and being treated like royalty we dont know WHY she hates that kind of behaviour. I was constantly thinking that it had to be bc how ppl treated her after her family's downfall. Why Jun Kyoung hated drugs so much that he was disgusted with Ari just being next to the drugs? So many questions.
I understand Aris decision at the end but I would love for her to maybe use her channel to help others, maybe to talk about honesty, loyality and anti hater stuff. Naive... but would be very hopeful.
I need more of them! Liked all of the crew, they had so little time to be developed properly. The story was also rushed soooo much it was hard to keep track of time but I really liked the story, the connections to the second season. Give me so much new lore :)
I was hooked already after 10 min of the 1 ep. I wasn't expecting the futuristic plot and I was wary of it but it went amazing. This show has so many things but excluding the 1st ep i wasnt overwhelmed. It should have more episodes! I need s2 now!
it was very easy to predict and ofc so many things were impossible but... i had fun! it was entertaining and almost every character was likeable. I don't like comedies and this gave me a little hope in comedy department. Definitely didn't think im gonna watch past 1 ep and I watched it in one sitting.
This was amazing and the whole idea with so many cultures... I dont know why Im even surprised Netflix cancelled it. Better to produce a hundred of the same teen-sex shows a year. Whatever x.x
I saw some scenes and immediately turned any notifications off, thought it would be another Thai Bl, heavy with sexual scenes. I don't have anything against such dramas, I watched them when I feel like it. I started watching 180 degrees bc I felt like I needed sth like that. But after 1st episode I already knew it isn't that. ut then Ive found myself at the end of 3rd episode and I was mesmerized. Almost all scenes are in two or three rooms of one home, the rest are on the outside of the house. The drama consists of long dialogue scenes and silent staring in the distance but I couldn't bring myself to turn it off or even skip the scenes with the mother whom I still hate. There are couple of scenes where the acting made me so immersed I was gasping and covering my eyes to not see the immense hurt of the characters. And I'm not a person who entertains herself watching sad dramas or even sad scenes in their entirety. I wish I knew it isn't a happy ending but then I wouldn't have watch it as I never do dramas I know will be sad. It just isn't for me. And I'm also conflicted bc ok, I got the message at the end (the subtitles) but it really made me angry for watching it bc 8 eps all having 45 min and it came a full circle, characters was exactly the same as they were at the beginning. Maybe Wang was slightly different but I don't really think so, he was just true to himself the whole time so really I don't see a change in him as well. Which is infuriating, at least I wanted for the mother to acknowledge ANYTHING bc she is the worst and I couldn't stand her.
I think it was beautifully made but without a point. They had to spell it out bc the plot wasn't made for understanding it this way. I learn more seeing a change in a character, owning their mistakes and make different decisions, not going full circle and starting again.
Up until the last scene of season 1 it had the best ending possible, the ending i didn't dream of coming true....
I was surprised that from the 1st ep it held my attention to the very end. The number of scenes when I could breathe from all the tension was very scarce. As I watched some number of shows with similar plot, this one surprised me many times with how the plot was changing in certain situations.
It still has potential to be even better, the finale could be a little more but it still held up as well as every other episode. And I need to see so much more from Adan Canto bc his acting in scenes when he had the sole attention of the camera on him was amazing. The emotions was depicted easily but he could show so many of them with just a couple seconds close up.
If someone could change it, there will be a second season. Already seen some photos and it should air soon.
Why cancelling such a great show?! In every ep I got interested and shocked, keeping me on the edge. I had hope for criminal shows again (used to love them but if you watch 20 you know everything they can come up with so for years I couldnt get interested in one even for one season). And we just had hope for Malcolm/Dani relationship T.T Whyyyyy?!
I thought so low about this. That bc of the main actor it would be a comedy or just another cop show which I was done bc of the schematic eps and so little insights with the main cast. Well I was soo wrong! It's so entertaining and maybe sometimes naive but mainly it just show you that you don't have to be tough and a handsome hunk to be great at the cop thing. John doesn't look like a cop, doesn't act like a cop really. He's naive, he's a teddy bear almost but he's gonna move mountains to change a 'crook' when he sees the person has potential.
I don't understand how the hell so many women are so into him which is hilarious. As well with the fact he's a rookie.
The comedy is there but the cases feel fresh and many times I didn't know how they will turn out and I have seen many cop shows. The romantic relationships feel fake to me and I couldn't feel anything for pretty much all of the relationships, not only with Nolan (maybe when he was with Jess but the relationship was mainly off screen and in the end felt rushed butthe chemistry was there at the beginning, love the actress, sad they didn't show her more). The relationships between the officers on the other hand. By the finale of the 2nd season I saw many scenes so believable I was rooting for the characters I didn't even like just bc they all really started to feel like a family. Boots and TOs. It's really outstanding for me. I feel hangover now (watch the entire show in 2 days) and I want to watch more cp shows but I know there aren't any like that.
I thought it cannot be good. ChicagoFire all the way and Grey's Anatomy started to be boring couple seasons before. I was incorrect, the first episode bought me, but the couple eps in, the action, so fast paced but balanced with the drama and the personal plots of the characters? Is there anything this shoe doesn't have? Well maybe 24 episodes bc 10 is just a joke. I would compromise at 14-16 episodes, not 10. After the finale i was soooo remembering the good first 8-9 finales of GA, so dramatic, so filled with action and it made me cry for those who would probably be revealed dead at season 2. I only know them from 10 episodes and already don't want to lose them. That's got to say sth.
I think it's certainly for those who didn't understand the hype of the original like me. To each their own... I didn't like the first ep but after the 2nd I was hooked.
It was different. Trailer didn't hyped me up. First 30 mins and I knew it's not my cup of tea but oh boy I love my friend who suggested me to keep watching. After this 30 min the atmosphere of horror disappeared for me and then I started to be interested. The most interesting parts are the ridiculous things that will keep a vampire far from you. After 3rd episode I know now why was it like that but Ive never thought about such an explanation. Yet, the 2nd episode was for me the best. Ive never read Agatha Christie novels but it felt like I think the books make people feel :D I was so focused on finding the little things I was seriously unaware of the biggest ones. Not many things can surprise me nowadays. 3rd episode wasnt very interesting. In the wake of so many vampire stories I was merely watching to compare everything. The revealing of sth at the cemetery scene was interesting... but the ending. Im so sad it was shown in such haste and almost confusion. It lacked maybe only 5 mins but I was surprised and thats the point. Agatha is my animal spirit... I wish!
The second season was FAR better. First was about ppl in space pretty much, astronauts and their problems. The second was about life which is everywhere. I love different species, planets and the last message ?! Ok, it was cliche but it was beautiful and really unexpected seeing what happened this season. I teared up and I love it !
A little bit too slow at the first half, also there were some dumb decisions from intelligent people that i couldn't believe which made me annoyed for a long time.
It has potential, sad i wont see a second season. I understand it was too slow for ppl to last. I wasn't interested in the recollections until the very end journey and they felt like the majority of episodes. Pretty much I was only interested in Chloe's story but it had so little screen time it felt like nothing really changed from the beginning. The end was interesting and it's why I'm bummed I won't see a second season.
We should get more superhero serious stuff not the comedic ones where every joke is the same. I hate that these ones have so many seasons. Ppl like dumb entertainment.
It was 10/10 from the beginning 'till like 10th ep. Pretty much when the main pair got together finally after so many interruptions the story started to be repeatitive, simple and cliche. No suspense really. Yeon was what got me through although he too became shallow after 9 eps. Every character had one motivation and 'nothing else matters', always hiding their plans which made the end death so predictable. And ofc the happy ending was most lucky and unbelivable. BUT all in all... nice fairy tale with some memorable fynny quotes from Yeon and fights. Wish it had more paranormal beings at the end.
As someone who doen't know really about 'Nancy Drew' I liked the supernatural the most. Nancy as a character was growing on me slowly and I can admit I love that she's more centered, calm, and adult. The rest of the crew falls so flat in comparison. I mean, Nancy too had some bad and too quick decisions (which killed some people) but it's like she's 25 and the rest is 15. I like the twist (like the parental thing) which is the only thing I am looking for in the next season bc the other character that I like was found dead, so I have only Nancy now.
It bugged me at the beginning that it really reminded me of Riverdale, not anything specific but overall. Which is not sth I look forward too as I left Riverdale at this point at the half of it's run and I fear Nancy Drew will slowly degrade as Riverdale did. But this show at this point is just 'ok' to me, not like Riverdale was during the 1st season. It has some nice things but the characters don't really matter for me.
I saw many ppl immediately didn't like this bc of the CW, I must say it's definitely not the same CW that produced Shadowhunters (God, no!) and The Vampire Diaries. I feel it tries to be more adult, not taking the characters during the school years and that stuff, but for now it seems they don't yet know how to adult really.I have to see more to know exactly.
It's an adaption but good enough for ppl like me who never read the books. There was enough story to believe in what drives the characters and in their falling in love even tho there is only 6 eps and their relationship changes many times.
It's not much original nor fresh. There is so many of books/tv shows with most of the plot that Maxton Hall uses but it was interesting enough to see completely the German actors and their portrayal of such stories.
Nooo! It was actually kind of interesting and I wanted to know more. And it's cancelled now? :(
After season 2 and 3 I am soooooo glad that I somehow got through season 1 and wanted to see more. I'm not a fan of action based movies/shows but this one is changing my likes for sure. Badass woman but she makes mistakes, wrong assumptions - definitely not perfect - romance is so messy, yet she can be a happy fluff at times which is so great and so human. By 3rd season it's no more shocking that there is always someone who betrays FBI and I really don't know how they still operate but it still can be unpredictable. Already can't wait for more.
Very interesting and original. I could only hope it had more episodes bc the start is very nice but from the middle everything advances too quickly and some decisions are not very thought through which makes us just watch not understend or feel for the characters.
Although, I liked the main girl and Ladislas who quickly became my fav character. Love triangle could be skipped tho as it never is explained why she's so adamant in keeping up with Nacer and everyone is asking her about him as she was interested in him for a minute, then said she's over him, and again wanted to be with him while ignoring him and then Ladislas and the end.
Hope it won't be cancelled like many really original but not that popular shows from Netflix.
I think the hype was too much... Ive seen all the best scenes on tiktok tho I was trying to avoid all I could. Which means there wasn't much too see. I loved the base of the plot, I laught some and the couples were cute. That's about it. Main couple doesn't have chemistry, it's just as Ive said, cute, even cuteness overloading (which isn't a bad thing, it isn't sth I aim to see in kdramas). Unfortunately, tho the second couple was my hope at the second half of the story I couldn't just accept the scene were the couple have first sex, I mean, he knew she was so drunk she barely could stand and tho he was tipsy and the kiss I would forgive, I cannot forgive that he went so far as to have sex with her in that state. It shouldn't be pleasant for him in the first place.
