Really good sotry. Starts of slow and peaceful but damn does it get scary with its realistic interpretation of dungeons and monsters. The plot is really compelling as well and seems to run darker the longer the show goes. def recommend it!
lol, the way Maomao keeps being vague in front of Jinshi is hilarious. I'm dreading the end of this show :sob:
I absolutely love the manga, so I was pretty disappointed at the art and animation (though it did improve a little in S2). It didn't do the source art justice at all, but I suppose that's expected since it's not very popular. I kept watching mainly for the amazing OST, the voice acting and to re-experience the story.
If anime is the only way you consume these stories, I'd def recommend it because the story and characters are amazingly developed. If not, I highly recommend reading the manga. The art is on another level there.
This remarkable telling of the true rescue at Guna Cave is a stark reminder that life is truly mysterious. Though I found the beginning to be a bit slow, the story picks up about a third of the way through. It is also remarkably bereft of embelishment in its portrayal of the people.
These are not straight-laced, choir boys. They are working class young men who are there to paint the town red with little to no regard for the destruction they might leave behind. And in true ride or die fashion, they refuse to leave their buddy behind even when faced with (realistically) unsympathetic and irritated police officers. Although I can't say I enjoyed the experience of gripping the egde of my seat for a good portion of the film, I believe this is one I'll be recommending to others.
Dang, this show gets more interesting with each episode. It's chock-full of things to dicuss and ruminate over. I'm going to be pretty sad with it ends.
Cute, family centric story. It's a bit slow paced but wholesome :satisfied:
It's really cute and funny. The acting is way smoother and more organic than other thai dramas I've watched. The characters are more natural as well and the plot is really interesting.
I'm aware that not many people can see where the MC is coming from but as a person who is an introvert and used to have extreme social anxiety as a teenager, he is exactly what someone who is not used to socializing and interacting with people is like. I love that his determination to live a more fulfilling life pushed him through all the messy situations and kept him going despite the mistakes he makes and all the overthinking he does. Through the help of open conversation and his friends, he truly grows as a person (quite realistically too)
I hope that people who don't relate to him as much, take this show as an opportunity to step into the shoes of someone who is inexperienced in social interaction and learn to be a bit more patient if they ever meet someone like him in real life. I know I wouldn't have made it where I am now without my friends so I'm thankful they took the time and effort to get to know me like MC's friends did.
This show is a dark horse in this season. I absolutely love the way the story is being told. It also won bonus points for having truly charismatic characters who have so much depth to them in addition to having amazing animation that really brought out the emotions of the characters through the acting and expressions. The way Dynasty China was portrayed was surprisingly balanced with the show highlighting its beauty while not shying away from the shadier nature of life during that era.
Super cute and fun to watch overall. I loved how seriously they addressed the abuse and, at the same time, advocated for legal actions while being empathtic throughout. Also loved how every obstacle the protagonist encountered could be reduced to its base element and dealt with while referencing what she experienced when stranded on an island. I did feel like some of the songs and entertainment industry elements were a bit cringy and too sparkly but I liked the show overall all the same. My favorite thing about this show however is that the characters themselves were incredibly aware of the right timing to do the right thing and they didn't hesitate for a sec!
I kinda liked it. Gotta admit, it's very strange though. Sort of philosophical, sort of ridiculous and all together a bit silly. Loved the way everything was dramatized and how colorful the gory scenes are which really emphasized the ridiculous nature of this show. It feels a bit aimless right now (I'll update this when the seasons actually over) but I think it's a pretty interesting show in a saturated genre.
It was a fun watch and surprisingly relatable. It made me miss my own youth and wish I had appreciated the little moments more. I think personally, the best part of this show is that all the young main characters are unapologetically brash and passionate as they try their best to navigate through life. I think as we get older, we tend to disengage more and fall into apathy, and this story reminded me that living in the moment does not have to be mutually exclusive with living for the future.
So saccharine. This story about a young girl's journey into adulthood that was told with lots of care and love. I was surprised by how realistic everything felt even though it was a very classic tale of puppy young love turned mature through the years. The topic of age difference was also handled in a very classy way with the boundaries very clearly defined. It was a bit too sweet for my tastes at times but I enjoyed it none the less. This is definitely one of the best c-dramas that has been produced to date.
It was a gripping and interesting show that's had binge watch potential, especially in the beginning. Unfortunately, I'm put off by all the cheating that happened, even if it was by both parties, and they arguably deserved it. The acting was well done, but the characterizations of the main couple felt a bit immature and cringy, especially in the middle of the season. I've watched worse dramas, so I still think it's an intriguing show with the ancient spells and the storyline. Probably won't recommend it to someone, though.
Another amazing season in this phenomenal show! It continues to bring up important questions as to hierarchy, bureaucracy, and the apparent quintessential human need to put others down in order to get ahead. There are just some shows that we as people need to watch to nurture humanity in us, and I believe this is one of those shows. Hopefully, if we're ever put in similar situations, we can handle it with empathy and genuine concern.
Beautiful animation as always. It was a bit cliche, but she's come so far from where she used to be that I don't even care. I'm happy she's found where she belongs
Heartbreakingly beautiful, I totally binged it. So glad it had a hopeful ending :sob::sparkling_heart:
This show is a slice-of-life that has office politics, the nitty-gritties of criminal law prosecution in Korea, and a surprising lack of romance between the main casts.
I found it to be an enjoyable, slow-paced story that focused on the human nature of the prosecutors with all their flaws and determination to do the best they can. Particularly appreciated the short look into a working mom's life and how there is still disparity in how the different genders are treated at work and at home.
Most of all, I loved how the show kept its light-hearted tone while addressing the realities of a prosecutor in Korea. It was able to bring issues to the forefront without appearing judgemental or pretentious and that made the show all the more enjoyable to watch.
I thought I'd be disappointed again, but I'm happy to say this episode gave a lot of important context and brought back the interest I lost in the last episode.
it's a little annoying that the plot is headed this way.. but I hope that MC gets a bit more clarity in thought and makes her decision fast.
Excellent cast and good storytelling. As an OG fan, I liked that the storyline wasn't one to one with the manga or anime. It's a fresh take on a beloved classic that takes advantage of the medium it's been adapted into.
I personally loved that this show stayed true to the spirit of the story rather than the letter. So many other adaptations have failed precisely because they tried to replicate what was there before and couldn't live up to it because it was like swimming on a bike. It's just not meant to work like that. This adaptation did an excellent job of loving the story while actually adapting it for the reality of a live action. Kudos to the team, and I look forward to seeing more.
Extremely captivating as a story. It grabs your attention, doesn't let go, and keeps you guessing until the very end. I wish there was a small epilogue of sorts to see more of how life goes on, but I'm satisfied with the end of the chase.
Beautiful aesthetics with a poetic undertone. Personally, I think this is a slow watch and not a binge-watch anime. The protagonist is someone who has been beaten down to resignation, but it is heartwarming to see her bloom and see the quiet strength she has in her shine. It goes to show just how much a little genuine care goes a long way when you're walking through hell alone. I look forward to seeing her grow and develop.
It's hilarious!! I spent at least 70% of this laughing. It's an amazing commentary on sexism and patriarchy in general, as well as the discrepancy between intention and reality. Allen is a BAMF. It was also a nice touch to have the Kens united after a fight.
Some of the dialogue is a little on the nose and the reactions are dramatic but that's what made it so funny and amazing to watch.
Beautiful Animation. Loved the character development here. Trauma is hard to overcome, especially if you're faced with your abusers again. I'm glad she held on to her hope.
Cute, I don't know why I stayed away from the movie for so long but it speaks to me personally so I liked it. Objectively speaking though, the story is a bit rushed towards the end. A bit more might have made the resolution seem more natural.
On the other hand, the animation is goddamn gorgeous!! I'd watch it again just to see the masters at work drawing the characters to life through the acting
It's a fun and interesting watch, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations after all the hype. I think I would have rated it much higher if I hadn't seen clips on social media and stuff. I regret watching all the spoilers now
Still, I think people should give it a try. It talks about being beaten down by life but striving to do better while keeping a sardonic tone about idealism. It also portrays the power media and editing has in today's world. One emotionally charged moment captured (or not captured) on camera could ruin your life but also potentially life you up.
Well, it was definitely a Tom Cruise movie. Good action and a decently engaging plot but nothing that stood out really. Still, I had fun watching it in the big screen. It was very theatrical
Poetic and heartbreaking. She feels so empty yet overflowing with tears at the same time. Looking forward to seeing how her character develops
I thought it'd be a lot more cliche and boring than it was based on the comments and teasers, but instead, I found it thoughtful and interesting. I'm not quite sure about the plot or premise, but the actors did an amazing job and their expressions were on point, so I enjoyed the show overall.
it starts off a bit slow, but it picks up and it's pretty cute overall in a slow burn way. especially Seung Chan hahaha
