Intense show, but worth a watch

The plot is nothing new to westerners because we see stuff like this all the time on T.V. But the way the story was executed made all the difference. Each episode is filled with the perfect amount of suspense and intrigue to keep you wondering what happens next. Trust me when I say that this is not a show to be binge-watched. Waiting every week to see how things play out is good way to approach a show like this. The facial expressions and how the characters behave around each other is something to pay attention to because it makes the show more intense. I didn't watch the remake of this so I came in knowing nothing and I'm glad for that. It's really intense, but I LOVE it.

If you like stories about revenge or underdogs coming up then this drama is for you. The romance could’ve been executed better but this story was solely about avenging the past so you rom-com lovers might not be so interested in this because of that. But if you want a break from the typical dramas then I recommend this one.

THE PLOT seemed a bit basic when reading up on it but I was intrigued to see how the life of an ex-con would be portrayed and lemme tell you they got the struggle life DOWN. And the different themes explored in this drama are what urged me to watch in the first place. There were a few sensitive topics that were addressed such as racism and gender equality, which were all executed very nicely into the story. I just wish they went below the surface a little more but with the way South-Korean dramas are, I’m glad they included issues like this to begin with. I think such sensitive topics should be brought up in dramas more often so people can be more educated and intelligent discussions can start.

THE MAIN CAST was interesting. Except for the villian and his father. Might be the worst antagonists I've seen in a drama. I was impressed with the diversity with the cast as well as the extras. This drama makes me wanna visit Itaewon lol. PSJ was solid in this. I didn’t like him in What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim and much prefer his role in this. You get to see a bit more of a range from him in this drama’s setting. His character was dedicated to avenging his father’s death but it never consumed him. There is a way to want justice without becoming obsessed with revenge and throughout his suffering, he never forgot his father’s teachings or the people who helped him along the way. Yi-seo was interesting but very contradicting at times. Hyun-yi was a tasteful portrayal of a transgender man and was one of my favorite characters. Toni had a lot of potential but was surface level in the end. I liked Soo-ah more than Yi-seo but you never really knew where her loyalties lay. Geun-soo’s backstory was good but he didn’t really do much throughout the series. His storyline could have been better executed. Geun-won was annoying and practically useless and was only present to help drive the plot forward.

THE MUSIC was good but nothing special

OVERALL I give this a 8/10. Probably wont rewatch again

VERY THOUGHT-PROVOKING DRAMA WITH AMAZING ACTORS

What an outstanding drama. Unique plot. Beautiful script. Amazing characters. I was addicted from start to finish. I had to drop the other one I was watching just to see how this played out and I was not disappointed at all. While most dramas about rich families just focus on their pampered lives, this one takes you down a path where you learn that behind all the prominence is pressure. Pressure to succeed and pressure to have children to succeed after you. The parents in sky castle will do anything to solidify the future of their children, but at what cost?

The main characters were multi-dimensional, thoughtfully written, and the actors executed their roles perfectly. There were quite a few scenes that got me emotional, and the well-written script enhanced the performance of everyone involved. The young actors and actresses in the cast gave great performances (especially Chani. He's an idol but he was very good at emotion), but the veteran cast stole the show. The housewives were undoubtedly the foundation of sky castle and their husbands were handfuls to match. My favorite family was Ye Seo's family. Fave character was Soo-Im. Her family was the only one I never got frustrated at and genuinely rooted for.

Overall I give this drama a 10/10. Even if you weren't a kid who grew up in a suffocating household like the sky castle children, there was still a lot to take away from this. I think the main themes are that what society dictates as success doesn't always bring happiness to those who achieve it and that one's happiness and self-identity should always be put above other people's expectations. There are other interesting themes and dark undertones. I agree that episode 16 was dragged out but it was only so you could see everybody get a happy ending but it's definitely skippable. I also think the ending was realistic because there will always be people in the world who crave money, status, and accomplishments to satisfy their greed. But it is never too late to realize one's errors and make amends for past mistakes and heal what is broken.

ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN DRAMAS OUT THERE!!!

I AM LITERALLY SO IN LOVE WITH THIS DRAMA. K2 might be my favorite drama of all time. It has the perfect mix of action, political intrigue, drama, and romance, all wrapped up into a brilliant story that will leave you on the edge of your seat each episode. Great job on the writers’ behalf. One of the best-written dramas I’ve seen. Even if action or politics is not your thing this is worth a shot. You won’t regret it!

THE PLOT was magnificent. Upon my first viewing, I found it to be a little confusing but upon my second watching along with the guides from online recaps I understood the story and the characters more deeply than before. Everyone in this wants something and will stop at nothing until they get what they want.

THE MAIN CAST is riveting and I think they deserve much recognition for their acting. It was superb. Some may disagree, but I think Je-ha is Ji Chang Wook’s best role. He literally became the Korean Jason Bourne, and I loved every minute of him on screen. About Yoona, yes it's true that throughout this entire series she only existed as a pawn, but as time goes on she gets better. I think people are too harsh on her acting skills. I mean she's an idol dappling in acting. She wasn't given much, but she went far with what she got. She seems fragile at first, but she can stand her own against her father and the vicious Yoo-jin. Yoona was also able to convey emotions really well. You really empathize with her character and grow resentful for the people responsible for her current state. Je-Ha and Anna had great chemistry, I think it was paced rather nicely. It didn’t make sense for them to fall in love so quickly, as they were both in desperate situations. They were each others’ ally before anything, so I appreciate the events that led them up to the point of having feelings for each other. Seeing JeHa try to control his feelings around Anna was literally so cute. I have two favorite scenes. One was in ep. 4 when K2 was assigned to monitor Anna and he watches her struggle figuring out how to make ramen. He is so shocked that she doesn’t know how to make it that he even considers going out of his way and making it himself for her. Watching him watch her and encourage her was very cute and endearing to me. And given all the pain Anna had suffered it was child-like but somehow humbling to see that something as simple as ramen could make her happy, and JeHa wanted to make her happy, just for a moment. And the second one was in ep. 10, where Anna put on a bit too much makeup in hopes of impressing JeHa. That was funny but in the most innocent and adorable way. Yoona was so naive in the best ways and worst ways. Now, on to the antagonist, Yoo-jin. WHAT. A. PERFORMANCE. Song Yoon-Ha deserves a standing ovation for her incredible acting. SHE OWNS THIS ROLE AND MAYBE EVEN THIS DRAMA. Her character is the most complex and well-written antagonist I’ve seen in a drama. Such a cruel and calculating woman, but it is impossible to just dismiss her as a villain because she is that good. Jang Se Joon was truly a self-serving man. He put his political career above EVERYTHING, including his only daughter who desperately needed him to be there for her. Both him and his wife sold their souls for power and it was just astonishing to see the lengths they went to keep it. He was also a pathetic excuse for a father, he felt some guilt for abandoning his child and leaving her to the wolf(Yoo-jin). His actor's performance in the finale had me tearing up. Yoojin, JeHa, and Anna are really just victims who were done injustices at the hands of cruel people. Those injustices drove them to do what they did, but you never questioned why they did something because you knew exactly why. Except for Yoojin. That lady is plain unpredictable.

THE MUSIC is amazing. This drama has one of the best soundtracks ever. I love how throughout the episodes there’s this underlying opera-sounding music throughout the episodes that sounds haunting but makes the scenes in which it plays engaging. The soft music that plays every time JeHa and Anna have a scene together was just perfect. The music for this drama just made it 10 times better.

I won’t talk about the finale cause I don’t wanna spoil it for potential viewers but just know that it’s explosive. Overall I give this drama a 10/10. I rarely give a drama a 10 because I’m very nitpicky about things but this one really deserves a high rating. The rewatch value is high. I actually just watched this again, only this time I’m making a review about it. It's just as good as the first time I've watched it :) I definitely look at this drama fondly.

I really like Ji Chang Wook so I'm open to watching anything with him. I wasn't really satisfied with his performance. I prefer his role Je-ha in K2. I personally think action roles suit him better than the romantic ones. Nam Ji Hyun was pretty good as the female lead. I like the way she handled the more serious scenes. But I really liked Choi Tae Joon's character. he reminds me of those rookie police officers you see on TV shows who get ahead of themselves and don't always know what they're doing but they're very charming and endearing. I found him super cute and his eyes are dreamy.... Anyways lol. Yeong-hee was funny. He loves calling people punks haha. Yoo-Jung was ok but rather forgettable. The main leads had ok chemistry but after a while, it was lost, and with that went the momentum of the drama. After a while it just became boring for me. The pacing became slow in the middle and I found myself wanting to skip, skip, skip. However, there were some cute moments between the leads that will make you smile.

This wasn't the best drama I've seen. Not even close, but it was good enough for me to keep watching. I was apprehensive about watching a drama that was 40 episodes long. This could have easily been 16-20 episodes because the dragging was real. I found a lot of scenes boring and was tempted to skip a lot of times. Actually I did skip a lot of scenes within the last episodes. Finishing this was a chore, but I trudged through.7/10

Love conquers all

Dramas with casting like this either end up being really good or overrated. This landed somewhere in the middle for me.

CHARACTERS - Hae In was a refreshing change up from the typical FLs in kdramaland. I found her apathy and dark sense of humor amusing. She wasn't exactly painted as a super nice person but nuance was def there. Granted she had a lot of family issues and suffered a big loss. Even still, the way she treated Hyun Woo made me feel for him at times. Gotta say, I was taken aback by the interactions between the two. This couple was supposed to be married and they treat each other like this?? And this is before we get into the messed up family dynamics. A huge reason why I continued watching was to see how their marriage reduced to such toxicity. Hyunwoo truly was the beating heart of this drama. I never believed he really wanted to divorce Hae In, and a huge reason why is because it was obvious he still loved her dearly, even after everything. Ofc he's wrong for withholding the truth and playing in her face but let's be real--neither person was innocent in this situation. No matter how ugly things became, Hyunwoo's unwavering dedication to the relationship came through. It was easily the most compelling aspect of the show. I hope one day someone loves me the way Hyunwoo loved Haein cause damn lol. The other characters didn't particularly stand out to me. The villains had an ok setup but were ultimately one-dimensional. We learned again that Park Sung Hoon is good at playing scummy people lol. Kwak Dong Yeon continuously playing pitiful characters has become the norm. Will he ever escape?

In conclusion, this was a decent ride, all flaws considered. Things did get draggy, even feeling a little chore-ish towards the end. But when this hit it hit. Rather than being overrated QOT is overhyped, but that was bound to happen given the actors involved. I prob won't rewatch but i don't regret investing my time at all.

cute movie

Ok so like 10 minutes in I thought about switching this off but I tell myself to just wait and see how things play out cause I did like the premise. I eventually finished and am surprised that the writer committed to that ending. Instead of pleasing the audience with a happy ending, we were given a realistic one and I can't be mad about that.

The plot was extremely easy to follow and even seemed a bit too easy at times. I wanted an event or character to come in and mix things up to create some good conflict but that didn't happen. Then I realized that this movie didn't need conflict. It was perfect the way it was. It really boils down to how people can come in and out of your life, some staying longer than others, but some people can have such an effect on you that they end up changing your life for the better. In terms of the movie, Seunghee had came into Wooyeon's life at a time where he was lost and didn't have a single sense of direction. Their friendship and his eventual feelings developing for her caused him to have a new outlook on life, and suddenly he began to think seriously about his future. Although Seunghee never knew found out about Wooyeon's feelings for her, he at least got to tell her after all those years that it was really because of her that he can now live a good life and be confident about it, and he only wishes her a good life and happiness in return. Yet even after this confession you I felt a twinge of regret from Wooyeon at Seunghee's wedding ceremony. The ending was sad but very much like life so that made the ending beautiful. 7/10.

MAGNIFICENT START BUT MESSY END

THE PLOT - I’m always down for a revenge drama. Especially if it’s a makjang show. The premise is definitely enough to suck you in. What kept me watching was finding out exactly who Ra El was going after because it isn’t clear in the beginning. The whole revenge plan was really strategic and had me questioning how far a person would go to avenge the death of a loved one. There were times throughout the show where I thought Ra El went too far, but I think it was decided from the beginning that nothing would stand in the way of her revenge.

THE CHARACTERS - I have to agree with the majority here and state that Han So Ra is the best one out of the bunch. What a character she was! The times she made me laugh out loud lmao.Not to excuse her unacceptable behavior but she had no real guidance. From what I observed it seems like she is a tool used by her father when it’s beneficial to him. Otherwise he can't be bothered with her. He is so cold to her and dismisses her even when she genuinely needs ya know, her father. Yes she is a miserable wretched woman but I do think it's sad how the only men in her life don't give her genuine love. Even the assistant she was sleeping with doesn't actually love her, he's just there to boost her ego, but there were times I felt he was genuinely concerned for her. It’s unfortunate that her henchman cared for her more than her own father. She is a tragic case but she was merely a product of her environment. Han Pan Ro was a good villain. He was very cruel and that was established with that dog scene in the first episode. The contrast with him being an old man was done well. Yoon Gyum was probably the worst in terms of acting. It was excruciating to watch him during certain scenes, especially the intimate ones. Like bro fix your face! The age difference between his and Ra El’s character threw me off when they had certain scenes together. Gye Young was good. Eun Pyung was a sweet character with a good backstory. The romance between him and LE should’ve been dealt with but the writers chose to leave it open ended.. And last but not least Seo Yeji. I watched this for her and I was not disappointed in her performance. She is excellent at portraying such heavy emotions. You really felt her dedication to the role. I hope she gets more projects after this.

Overall I’d say this show started off great and then lost me towards the end. The first 8 episodes are def the strongest. The last act felt rushed and there were quite a few plot holes. Like what happened to Han So Ra’s kids? I liked how Yoon Gyum chose to help LE in the end. However rather than having him commit suicide I think he should’ve been killed another way. I get that he was done but I don’t think suicide was the answer. Anyways I’d def recommend this show if you like revenge and chaebol family mess, but mind the inconsistencies as you watch.

THE PLOT is what interested me in the first place. I've never seen a drama about a ballerina so I turned out good. I only have two complaints: more dancing should have been shown(the show had ballet after all) and the whole fantasy/angel thing got really confusing towards the end. I think the writer had too many ideas and tried to mash them all into one drama and it didn’t really work. Also, considering how messy the whole supernatural/deity thing was handled, it’s apparent the writer doesn’t know much about Christianity or whatever spirituality she was going for.

THE MAIN CAST was good. Shin Hye Sun easily gave the best performance. She had so much emotion. Her aunt could've acted better because she wasn't as intimidating as her character entails. L was ok. He's not the best at acting but he's an idol so I wasn't expecting something great from him. At times I thought he was overacting but he was serious when he needed to be and delivered emotional scenes quite well. He was very cute so I won’t be too harsh on him. The leads had good chemistry but SHS carried the romantic scenes. Nina’s character could have been better. I also wouldn’t mind if there were more scenes with Kang Woo. I found him so intriguing.

THE MUSIC suited this drama beautifully. Very elegant. My favorite OST is “Because of You” by Huh Gak

OVERALL I give this drama a 9.0. I really enjoyed this drama despite the two issues I mentioned above. I might watch this again sometime.

A little more depth and this could've been decent!

The premise was intriguing but the execution fell short by a lot. A little more reflection from Kosuke and that would've led to a better character arc. He could've realized at some point that coasting off his looks led him to develop shallow relationships and treat people with insincerity, which is kinda what we saw. Furthermore, there could've been some social commentary about how society places looks above all but ig that's too much to ask for in a 9-ep show with 30 min installments.

For a FL Izumi was just there. She was a bit too robotic and also had little development. I like how the future Kosuke came to the present but I wish the scenes were more thoughtful.

This is good filler fun if you're looking for something quick and digestible. The ML is enough to finish this. His expressions are too good.

Everybody is worth of human decency

"If calling someone ugly was enough to kill someone then everyone in this country would be dead"

What a line.

Well this did not go the way I thought. At least up until ep 2. Ngl I considered dropping when I got to that point cause I wasn't seeing where they were gonna take this but in ep 3 things got more interesting. MoMi's journey definitely had some surprises. Her story didn't develop the way I thought I would but in the superficial sense, she is a reflection of what many people deal with irl. With South Korea being the plastic surgery capital of the world and how common beautifying procedures are there, I've noticed a lack of empathy and cruelty towards those who are different and fit an ultra specific mold of beauty. All the main women here have tragic ends but I found it fitting to end the series with the first we saw of MoMi: a happy young girl that wanted people to love her back. The character-threaded episodes and how everyone's backstory leads them to Mo Mi was done well. Though the lookism commentary could've been a little stronger, I like the points that were brought up. Simply put, attractive people will always have an advantage but a person's value doesn't lie solely in their appearance. One thing I noticed while watching Nam Joo's mother's long and tiring revenge was that she used Christianity as some sort of twisted justification for her plan. She also never once reflected on her son's life or the events that led up to his death, which would've provided some context that perhaps could've led her down a different path.


SPOILER ALERT:

Why didn't Bomi just tell Nam Joo's mom that the reason why she killed her son was bc he tried to rape her? There was a bit of rage but it was mostly self defense. His mom would've still been angry but all she knew was that some girl killed her son and she ran with that.

the romance was so precious here!

What a beautiful way to tell a story about the precious time that passes between people that are in love.

I can totally understand why some would think the time logic is confusing but after exposition from the FL I pretty much got it. The acting was good. Fukushi Sota was so cute as Minamiyamai. His performance from the beginning was endearing. You could feel his love for Fukuju through the screen. Komatsu Nana was good too but I found Fukushi’s acting more enjoyable. At times it seemed like Minamiyamai liked her more than she liked him, perhaps even one sided at times. After the secret was revealed her behavior made more sense.

The ending was so abrupt. I really loved every moment the leads were together and wanted to see more of them but I am happy we got to see their timelines collide again as we know they do have a happy ending.

I def recommend this movie if you’re new to Japanese movies/shows and you're a big fan of romance or destiny-trope stuff. I was quite pleased with this and loved the romance aspect here. Am open to watching this again in the future.

Ending was predictable yet not…

The concept was so intriguing and I'm currently in my Kento Yamazaki phase so I had to watch. I ended up finishing this over the span of a few days.

Todome no Kiss is my first jdrama, but its premise is one of the weirdest I've seen from an Asian show. The production value looks hella dated(this show is from 2018) and some parts are a bit cheesy but I'm not above cheese if the show pays off. I think this did. I will say the last two episodes were a little draggy and could've easily been reduced to one hour-and-a-half finale that ties up loose ends. This show is predictable yet unpredictable. Some things you see coming and some things you don't. I was pleasantly surprised at how this turned out. I love how a person that only cares about themself learns to value other people and ends up sacrificing their happiness for the chance that someone else will have it. Good stuff.

Now unto the characters. Kento Yamazaki as Otaro, though not impressive acting-wise, was entertaining and charismatic in the role. I either wanted to be seduced by him or hit him for being such an unapologetic scumbag. Also I have to gush a little about the man's visuals cause he's FINE ASF. This is the best he's ever looked. His redemption arc was great and felt very natural considering how hopelessly selfish and hedonistic he was throughout the show. Ngl towards the end I was kinda losing hope that he could be redeemed lol. Mikoto felt more like a plot device than an actual person. And why was she so aloof? Saiko was ok but she often came off stale and cartoonist. Mackenyu's character storyline was kinda interesting but he became annoying towards the end. The actor has intrigued me so I've added some of his projects to my PTW.

Def recommend this if you're new to jdramas or need something fun to watch in between serious shows.

Cute musical bits and cheesy fun

This was nowhere near as bad as the reviews said this was gonna be. I thought the musical parts were enchanting and super cute. The CGI bits were ehh but nothing too crusty. Mitsuki's voice is quite beautiful. I'm impressed at her contributing so much vocals to the film. Her acting was ok. The critics were right about Kento Yamazaki. He is just eye candy here. Acting is non-existent but he looks so good in a suit so I'm ok with it. Came for him but I might look into the FL's music and other works as her voice impressed me a lot. I knew exactly the kind of movie I was signing up for and wasn't disappointed. It's good for a film to know what it wants to be. The only thing I didn't like was Narumi's boss. His voice was really annoying.

Watch if you want 2 hours of fluffy musical escapism :)

This has been on my list for a while but I put off watching for so long. What a mistake that was. This is really really good. Don’t get me wrong there were some gripes I had but the immense thrill made up for all the shortcomings.

THE STORY - The blending of law into a prestigious school full of privileged kids with clear-cut agendas was well done. The strongest parts of the show were those little probings disguised as lessons between Mr. Temporary and the Verida 4 during class. They were entertaining and we got more of a feel of the main kids and their personalities. Wish I could say the same about the others. I do wish that other students or the student body as a whole got more focus outside the main ones.

THE CHARACTERS - LJY as Beom Jin was undoubtedly the standout. What a performance. My only complaint with his character is that very abrupt ending. I so badly wanted to see him in handcuffs after being recognized for his crimes. His murder felt like a cop-out though you could see it as him getting his commuppance. Tae Ra’s demise is not what I expected at all. I would’ve preffered if she and her mother were exposed for fabricating her academic rewards and records. She was just as rotten as the other 3 but the way she went out was crazy.

Kyu Jin really was down bad for Su Ah, to the point where he started making irrational decisions that had him looking crazy. He had the strongest arc out the evil bunch and was able to somewhat redeem himself(could’ve done way more) but its very odd he wasn't reprimanded by the school for the SA incident or the stalking. I felt he was only upset about what happened between Soo Ah and BJ’s dad because he wanted her to himself. He did apologize for the role he played with her so ig the viewer can judge whether or not he's worthy of redemption. Yeri started with her 3 buddies and ended up alone which is rather fitting for her character. She was also exposed for her online crimes and lost out on debuting so she got her payback. Tho I did think it was weird when she didn’t appear that sad after her supposed best friend died so suddenly. Ig she was so caught up in her own ambitions it didn’t hit her until long after the fact.

Now unto the adult mains: Temporary was such a fun character. I enjoyed his screentime so much and relished in his ability to take whatever the school threw at him. He was no fool and never underestimated anything for one second. It was obvious he'd have to get into a basket of vipers to expose the truth. Ngl I was kinda scared for him cause man was being way to bold dancing around these powerful people. However he proved multiple times he could hold his own and that nothing was going to stand in the way of his goal. The teacher lady was so annoying and didn’t think before she made decisions. I get her being mad about Moo Hyuk lying about his identity but she didn’t even really try to get to the bottom of it and find out why. I couldn’t wait or them to just join forces and move on with the story cause the constant misunderstandings and jumping to conclusions was starting to piss me off. The guy who played Lee Tae Seok played the part way too well. He has that kind of face lol.

Overall this was a really great show. I do think there should’ve been one more episode to even things out and get a follow up with the characters but the last scenes were satisfactory enough for me to be content. The ending was incredibly satisfying and I will def watch this again just for the thrill of it all. The overall theme was just as Gi Gang Jae said: Finding out the truth is more important than winning the case. That gave me a new perspective for when examining cases as an outsider, low profile or high profile.
