180 Degree of a 52-hertz call

This is not your typical BL drama, so i already advice here that if you don't enjoy that theatre type of dialogues or heavy philosophical introspective tones, don't watch it cause this is not a high-teen type of drama at all; and i loved every second of it.

What to say about this one? It was unique, heartwrenching with a slow burn that left me with a "void-like" feeling inside of my soul; and yet i enjoyed that feeling.
The story is simple and yet so complex in it's undertones. A boy searches for the pieces of his late father while traveling with his overprotective and overpowering mother and finds a lonely man that is broken by his own decisions and self-imposed guilt.
These are not beautifully rose painted characters. These are just three flawed human beings, each feeling that their own view of what is right or wrong is unjustified by the views of the other; each feeling that they have the rights over their own choices and that they were right on making them.

The world belongs to nobody and yet each of them holds their own "world" in their hands as if they are made of glass, unwilling to part with it or to let anyone with a different view go inside or to let anyone that is unwilling to stay, leave.

180 Degree longitude passes through while a 52-hertz call is made on each side, never able of actually meeting.

Eclipsed mystery, shinning love

This show is phenomenal, a must watch indeed. However, i got to say i was expecting a little more on the mystery and somewhat kind-of-supernatural aspect of it.
Of couse it had great plot twist and reveals that i was not expecting, but some other things just felt rushed and not very well planned out or just thrown at us.
Good thing, however, was the acting and the cinematography of the whole thing. I had my jawdropping every now and than while experiencing and seeing the feelings of all the actors, specially the main couple, just pass by their eyes, slight expression changes and voice tones. It was trully incredible, not to mention the music; when i say that i just could not get myself to jump the opening sequence even once, i'm not lying. It was just that good.
If you like the political, revenge, enemy-to-lovers, fight-for-what's-right kind of story, this one is a good one. Just don't come for the mystery.

Great adaptation

I loved what they did with this one!
Having read the webcomic prior to watching this one might have helped me to get into the story more easily, but it surely was not necessary; meaning that even if i had watched this without reading the webcomic i would still give it the same rating i'm giving now.
The acting is great. Specially the main leads. The kissing is a bit awkward the first time but nothing that will make it impossible to watch this drama.
I specially loved what they did with the character of Denis. In the webcomic he is very much different but i like the drama version way better. It gave a new and different meaning to him and his actions.
Overall, i think this is a nice drama with a fantasy-like thematic that may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was mine and i loved every second of it.

A jigsaw painting

I got to say, when i started watching this i was very confused and intrigued. It felt like the had thrown a puzzle of 1000 pieces to solve but just a few of them were from the actual puzzle i needed to put together.
The story is poetry in visual form and every time it unfolds is like untying a knot that i hadn't seen was even there.
If you think of giving up on this drama on the first few episodes, i ask that you watch one more. Even if you already put into your head that you are not going to understand it either way, i plead that you try again. I promise that you will be as surprised as i was when i finally understood how to put together and look at this beautiful painting that was done in front of my eyes.

"The lights of the Returning Temple are always on"

What a refreshing story this was. Loved the mystery concept and specially the legend of the Returning Temple. It made my heart warm and intrigued from start to end.
The acting cast is great as well. It just felt a little weird at a scene, but maybe that's just a petpeeve of mine, so i won't go into much detail about what scene that is.
The music is great, well placed and just so good overall that i had to look for the whole OST so i could listen to them over and over when i miss this drama.
I just wish i could re-find it cause i know that i will never get that fresh feeling again when i re-watch it down the road. Beautiful story, with a bit of a cliché but not something that i could call out that much since it made sense when looking back at the character and their story, so i think you will not be disappointed when watching it.

Was not expecting this at all

What to say about "Triage"?
Honestly, i was expecting nothing from it. The plot seemed like any other time loop, choice and consequence, scenario but it proved to be way more than that.
I am surprised, in the best way possible about this drama. The story is amazing, making you stay at the edge of your seat making many assumptions as things move forward, the cast is just so great in their roles and made me not doubt any minute of their goals and motives and the music is so well put that in moments i had to go back a few seconds cause i just go lost in the moment that things were happening.
Not gonna lie that i did question some decisions that the characters made, specially the Doctor Tin, but it was not something that made the experience any less amazing.
Sad that i will never be able to re-watch this as if i am seeing it for the first time, cause it is a great experience that i would not trade for anything else.

Be the change you want to see in the world

I loved everything about this one. The political aspects and little jabs at things that are happening, the characters that have deep reasoning for what they are doing, the development of said characters, the pacing, the oh-so-beautifully-placed soundtrack, the actors displaying each emotion so beautifully that it made my heart ache along with them... I could go on about why i loved every second of this series, but all i got to say is: Go watch it, you will not regret it. The production team did a great job and to say that they were brave to put this out would be nothing but the entire truth.

Disappointing but not bad

The story was going so well, but the writers wrote the end so badly that i just had to give this a 6,5 star rating instead of a 7,5.
If they put some other plot cliché at the end i would gladly take it and end it with a smile, but seriously... very disappointing. I won't go into much detail for the ending part, since it would be a spoiler, but be warned that it is a let down, specially if you start this with some kind of expectation. I'm not saying its bad, the plot idea is very good, but imagine getting into an amusement part attraction with the promise of a good time and it never comes. That's how i felt by the end of this.

Cute indeed, but...

This series started great, made my hear flutter at every scene and grab my pillow with excitement every Friday while waiting eagerly to it's launching day. BUT, still, i felt that some of the secondary couples had such a fast development (be it romantically or problem solving). However, i don't blame the show, with 12 episodes they did everything so beautifully, be it cinematography wise or acting wise, everything was great. Maybe if they had one or two more episode, things would go more smoothly, i don't know. Still, i loved every second of it and i am going to miss it dearly.
