Absolute banger! Although I cringed hard over the clichés and shook my head for not ditching the series [initially], I eventually found myself enjoying it much more than I thought I would. I loved how the comic scenes made me laugh until my stomach hurt, and the acting brought emotion to my eyes. The OST was also decent :smile_cat:. I do feel that the series had plotholes and loose ends to name a few, but I suppose they intended to keep it that way for a reason.
I wondered whether I should just give it an 8 because of the utter enjoyment, but I guess 7 is not a bad score either. Overall what I do know undoubtedly is that I loved the series! I can't say I recommend it strongly, but I think it'll be worth the watch. It is light-hearted but also filled with time-tested clichés, entertaining and inspirational but lacks coherence [at times].
But I liked it lol
A second season? I wouldn't take a no for an answer, thank you!
I absolutely loved this masterpiece (judging from the score), until the internet decided to traumatise me and I realised some possibly shady stuff going on behind the screens...
The short series that feels like a gush of fresh air, that I finished watching in a single sitting.
The stage was made with light hearted events and fulfilling details, and the characters too kept me entertained throughout. I'd say the acting was pretty on point as the two leads made me understand their respective characters, fleshed out and crisply. The music was minimal and alright, and it's timing was just right. Many aspects of the series were quite predictable though. I liked how the context of the series tried to normalise bisexuality (or gay) greatly; almost maybe why they did not include the whole "coming out" aspect of BLs.
6 is a pretty good score for this movie.
Based on what I gathered from this review (https://stuckonhyuk.wordpress.com/2014/05/06/thorninnocent-thing-stream-of-consciousness-review/), every aspect of the script is genius and almost pleasant. But it turns out the movie itself is nowhere near that praise due to deleted story from the script and the removal of scenes where Joon-ki actually showed his genuine emotions. The acting that would have initially impressed viewers with the small details, ended up making little to no sense with respect to the remaining storyline.
I think it was the direction that ruined the film which otherwise could have been a perfect psychological romance thriller in my opinion.
It's not supposed to be taken seriously, and that is great. It's not as /dark/ as the original Teen Titans tvshow (or most of DC tvshows, to be honest) but it's silly and funny and that was probably the point. It's a great silly show that makes you laugh. There's nothing wrong with that.
It's a family-friendly and heart-warming story which I thoroughly enjoyed every second of. I especially loved the chemistry between Nagarjuna and Shriya, and the second couple (Chaitanya and Samantha) gave a delightful performance. There were times I found myself looking away from the clichés used, but I still enjoyed them as a part of the movie. This is one of those movies I'd wholeheartedly rate on the basis of only enjoyment.
Overall the one thing I loved the most was the romance dynamics and the music, which complimented all scenes just right.
Grotesque and scandalous, this had me at the edge of my seat for all the wrong reasons. Although in some parts the acting piqued my interest, I would not particularly recommend this movie to anyone.
For the rest, I'll let my rating do the talking..
The first season especially is a cinematic masterpiece. The acting, the music, the cinematography and the writing. The show made me nostalgic of Phuket and I've never even been. I wish I could bleach my brain and experience this for the first time again
I don't think I'm the only one who couldn't stop smiling and crying at the same time.
Could this reunion be any shorter ???????
HIGHLY enjoyable and the standard by which all future TV show reunions should be measured. A great mix of now/then, reminiscing, reappearances and behind-the-scenes video and stories. I originally wanted to see a scripted reunion, but I found this to be far more satisfying. Well done!
FRIENDS is one of those series that you can watch over and over again and you will keep laughing like the first time. There are so many memories, so many emotions experienced by this group of people who are more than friends, they have become a great family. Thanks for this reunion! It was what we needed, the old and new fans of the series. Enjoy it. It's amazing.
Keira Knightley's a complete delight onscreen, and the soundtrack, cinematography and screenplay work like a charm. A spectacular experience.
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before.
This is not a movie it's a musical masterpiece. CryBaby was a story well written with songs with story telling. Never did I thought that Melanie would live up to her expectations but this is so much better than CryBaby. Really shows her passion and her power of writing both a story and music. Such an inspiration!
This movie is very emotional. Bring a box of Kleenex with you. I have never seen another movie that I could hear the audience cry so many times. Also the movie shines a light on a disease that many people have no idea what it means (including me). If you have seen the trailers you already know that this is a movie about young/first love. I don't want to spoil it with other details.
They break up, they reunite, they break up again, they reunite...ad infinitum. This fails to improve on what has come before and is just as bad and predictable as those movies. The actors are good but the dialogue they are given is trashy and unrealistic. Thankfully, there is only book left in the series to adapt... I hope that brings an end to this sorry saga.
There are few things I regret as much as I do watching this movie.
Minnal Murali is a testimony that India can produce a true-to-life superhero origin story without unnecessarily saving the world complex. It takes particular gall to attempt a superhero movie within the budgetary confines of Malayalam cinema, especially with the advent of the New Wave of Mollywood, rooted in realistic, down-to-earth storylines. Basil Joseph truly dictates a fine origin story with an accurate balance of humor, drama, emotions, and depth in the story. The screenplay is engaging and fun and keeps you interested to see more of this new superhero. Tovino has killed it as Jaison, probably the film which makes him a national star. The film has a high amount of relatability, where you connect with both the leads the bad and the good. The film is easily the best superhero story from India. This one is already on the top 10 films on Netflix in many countries and it's not a fluke. This one genuinely deserves applause.

The Creators did a pretty good job with developing the Main Character & the Villain and making us feel for both of them. Also, pretty good stuff with balancing the drama & the comedy. There are enough action sequences to get you excited & cheer and it's quite strong. With the budget that they had, they did brilliant with being creative with what they can do in terms of showing you the powers & strength of the Hero & the Villain in this story and the development of those strengths.
The Story was quite strong too. No pretentious alien invasions or biggest explosions or anything. The story felt more real. Like how would a commoner from a small town/village would behave when they get superpowers.
Actors did fantastic job. Be it the lead or the supporting characters.
The whole movie is just beautiful to watch.
Hats of the whole team behind this Movie.
UPDATE: I saw a movie so beautiful I started crying™
Stop rating movies before you even know they are in production!!!
I'm so excited for this season to come out! The last season was a good mixture of drama and zombie apocalypse themes, and I expect this season to contain more answers and probably, a worthy climax to the series.
Apart from all that, I'm living to see whether Cheong-san really ended up dying or not. I hope not! >:(
It gets good on the second half
I was so expecting this drama and it was so dissapointing, the first and second part does seems to be written by two different writers, the first half very sloppy, tons of nonsense scenes and choices, the second half was very solid.
Lee Joongi kinda carry the whole serie with his acting although he was way better being dramatic, not a fan of Chaewon in this one and the rest of the cast was a meh.
Will I be rewatching this someday? Definitely not! Will I be reccommending this? Same answer.
My score: 7/10
Nothing much to say, I don't want to spoil anything, just watch it!
I was there when this show invented bisexuality
OKAY BUT THAT WAS SO CUTE??
Flawed, Twisty, Tightly Executed
Ek Villain Returns at best is an average thriller that relies heavily on the original's fanbase and nostalgia. This one has the infamous Mohit Suri treatment, soulful music, some well-placed twists, and some lazy ones as well. The Galliyan rendition and Dil song will tug into your heartstrings. The film's biggest highlight is the screenplay, it's fast-paced and keeps moving ahead. Some choppy VFX at places buts that can be excused. However, Mohit Suri's only fault in the film is what I believe is the casting, he goes wrong with an all-time poker-faced Arjun and hops in Disha and Tara only for their fan base. John is the only one who fits into his role well. Overall, Ek Villain Returns isn't miserable like Bollywood's recent releases, beautiful music, john's intimidating presence, and some good twists make this a good one-timer.

Both the scriptwriter's and the director's efforts make for a very good, compassionate reading on a "small town murder mystery". The plot starts out somewhat chaotically for the viewer, but flourishes beautifully into its humanistic themes. There is no "murder/gore porn" that some thrillers fall into, or glorifying the killer as some sort of genius.
The lead actors' interaction is top notch and it benefits the show greatly that they are comfortable playing off each other. The rest of the cast is very good as well, almost without exception.
This k-drama is not quite on the level of Stranger (Secret Forest) to me, because S/SF has exceptional super polished production values, but I feel that if you enjoyed S/SF, you might enjoy Beyond Evil and vice versa.
Praise the writting, praise the acting, praise the director, praise edition and everyone on the sound mixing, edition and OST!
I could give this a 100 if I could, I'm not exagerating at all, this was a top notch writting and acting, probably my favorite thriller drama of all time. The cast did excellent but Shin Hakyun was out of this world, I've never seen a male actor embodying a character on a kdrama as well as he did here and finally Choi Daehoon is getting the praising he deserved for a long time. The only think I can ask for is a special episode with Hyeok's backstory, he was the connection between characters on so many scenes and he nailed every one of his lines and they were long af, almost a monologue, but that would never happen so.
Just watch it, this is the best drama of this year and it will be hard to top!
