Hell Camp (2023) was a netflix documentary about this same issue but it only focused on 80s and tried to show abusers as good guys.
This one is really well made and shows how much victims are still suffering AND these evil people getting away with all. It was so genuine and real. I feel sorry for all the victims and once again mad at american justice system. Keep fighting!
Interesting story, and I liked the directing and stylization (pay attention to the cold to warm color grading). The story was a little over the top and unbelievable at times, but it was still overall a good web drama.
The one glaring plot hole for me, though, was the fact that Ae Jin was a super successful influencer (to the point brands paid her to promote their stuff) so if she was as self-conscious about her appearance as the story set her up to be, I don't really understand why she didn't just get plastic surgery. Not only that, her family lived comfortably enough, so I'm not sure why this route wasn't ever even considered. It could have been brought up and discarded, for a number of different reasons, but it wasn't explored.
But I enjoyed the final message of "it's ok to not be perfect" in this age of overly edited social media pictures and impossible standards of beauty, and that your true friends (and the people that matter) will like you just as you are.
I went into Baby Reindeer not knowing anything except it was about a guy who has a stalker. It was an emotionally challenging watch. I feel like the audience was supposed to sympathize with Martha but I couldn't. She was just too unhinged.
For people who don't like the show, I would give it to episode 4, when the reason Donny is making poor decisions becomes clear by this episode.
I wish they'd stop advertising shows like this as 'dark comedies' because I bet a lot of people aren't prepared for how dark it will actually be. Also, Baby Reindeer is not a documentary! This is a work of fiction based on real events! To what degree? We don't know. We don't actually know what really happened, that's between the author and Martha.
Personally I don't get the hype. It's an interesting, entertaining show but nothing new here. Especially if you're watching Asian movies and shows regularly. I give it a 6-7. There's much filler stuff and unnecessary side stories going on. Overall good but nothing spectacular.
I was so invested in this show right from the start. The story of Immortals and Moon people pulled me in and would not let go. Visually gorgeous in every way: from scenery, over costumes and make-up, to actors, funny even in the midst of darkness, interesting characters doing the best they can in their respective circumstances and ups and downs - I thoroughly enjoyed the ride throughout the 36 episodes.
It was long at times, and a little inconsistent but overall a pleasant watching. The main couple were so in love, it was lovely to see. I also really liked the character of Rong Hao. His motivation during the whole drama was so clear and understandable even as it lead him to loose his innocence. His relationship with his master was truly beautiful, and I think the ending they got was perfect . However, what's up with romantic dramas ending up so abruptly every time? Can't we get some time to enjoy seeing the couple in love now that they've went through all of the difficult times? This is very frustrating..
I also didn't really like the 2nd couple, who seemed to be there just to fill a gap. Even more frustrating when considering that Chang Heng and Danyin had such good chemistry, especially at the end of the show. Them ending together would have been a hundred times better imo
One of the most beautiful shows I've ever seen. Their love for each other is so strong and real. The feelings that I felt during this whole series is insane. While the cinematography is one of the best I've seen, the main leads chemistry is amazing.
This was so good!!
First of all I have to start by saying I’m a librarian, so recently a lot of people have been requesting the book “One of Us is Lying” - when I saw it’s release on Netflix I had to see what that hype was all about.
I really, really liked it. The secrets aren’t that “bad”, but to a teen they can destroy their reputation, so that’s the focus throughout the season. The acting could be better BUT to be honest, it was pretty convincing and made me stick to it until the very end. I had a few suspicions at the beginning and in the end I was surprised how everything turned out.
Looking foward the second season!!
I don't understand why people do this. This had a awful rating months before the pilot aired.
Anyway I liked it, reminded me a lot of the 80's type of Teenager movies. It seems to be a mix of "Breakfast club" meets "I know what you did last summer".
Give this one a watch and see if you are entertained.
I'm usually not one to watch a lot of romances, but this one had a good story, and good jokes. I like the way they show the different perspectives too.
Wow. Funny and emotional show
THE WAY THIS SNUCK INTO MY HEART.
For every queer person around the world, I just wish you can cross path in your life with people like Yonghee, Jiah and Taesung's mother :heart:
I forgot how crazy and ridiculous animes can get but that's the charm of it (versus real-life films). Stories are wholesome. The plot explores relationships in general which helps audience to see that romance isn't everything. I love how the show discussed social commentary (tom boy, otaku, social anxiety, victim blaming, stalking, etc.) in a lighthearted way. I really enjoyed watching it and I wouldn't mind one bit if they had a second season (provided the quality maintains the same).
Good 3-part show that never gets bogged down or mundane. I didn't know anything about this stuff - happened before I was born, but it's quite interesting.
Ian Campbell / Duke of Argyle was a financial parasite and just went from one rich woman to the next. If he tried this in the 21st century for sure someone would have "capped his ass"
8.5/10
This is not as bad as some of the comments here. I don't know what people are expecting to get from a show like this. Meaning of life? That's 42 btw.
If you like "The IT Crowd" or even "The Orville" you will enjoy this show.
Sometimes you can get stagnant and stale in your life, and disconnected from yourself and your sense of purpose. This drama was a good reminder that you can enjoy the small things and rediscover your zest and purpose in life, and with the support of a good person you can go on to do great things!
Japan's BL game in 2022 has been really impressive, and I really enjoyed this show.
I had been trying to find something that would top Love Sick ever since I finished the last episode but there's no need to look any further - I've finally found it!
"Honestly, Love Sick isn't as good as people say" — yes, I can say that much after watching Make It Right The Series.
I can and I should, so here it goes:
Make It Right The Series is so good! The series has it all... boy on boy action is not just a foggy dream here, it's real and it's juicy!
It's still not juicy enough, though. You, me, the world, we all need season 2 ASAP!
