Revenge for whom

After stellar reviews, jumped to test the waters. Well, this was mediocre revenge story more glamour camera for the FL since her acting is blerg.
Story: death, cheating humans, death, rebirth, angst galore, vexing grandpa, mysterious aide - nothing new in kdrama world.
Acting: FL & ML were muted angst filled humans, providing little development of character for 30+yo, supporting actors offered character & insight. Strongest actor was the SFL who portrayed a deeply troubled mental paragon. This female actor was far more compelling & interesting compared to the FL.
Music: nothing memorable
Overall: watch if you love the FL or SFL. This should have been a 12eps drama. The stretch of 4eps was another example that viewers are given mediocrity so drama overloads can make more $.

The Books are always Better however this is GOOD!

A must watch for crime/ mystery/thriller folk.
Story: a 90’s exploration of the power of media/social science as a psychopath deeply woven into media mainstream committing grotesque crimes on humans deemed beneath his subsurface moral code with assistance from other deviant devoid of moral values.
Acting: brilliant & poignant
Music: appropriate & well done. Paces the drama perfectly.
RW: yes, need some time before I jump back in.
Overall: watch knowing we are far worse now in ‘23. The psychopath are among us all many in positions to lead society, governments and your kids! Chilling drama.

Gem: critical thinkers & character development delight

Story: not new, just a business sector not often portrayed in dramas.- The construction industry.
Super intelligent female crapped on by men personally & professionally, bounds to heights of achievement to re-engineering a company.

As compelling & depth of acting as NiF , YAnxi, this is a must. Highly addictive drama.

Bluer than Red

Story: interesting just lacked any depth or good storyline editor.
Acting: FL was the least developed, insipid cryer, and uninteresting character. Other character were mediocre at best.
Music: alright
Overall: started as interesting premise, nice. Evolved into a basket of blue cry rags stretched out 16ep. FL overacted or decided she liked being blue. Over half of drama was unnecessary, reconstituted into 3eps.or simply ended.
Finished only to see if the comments were correct. Yeppers, they’re correct. Like the writers ran out of story but long on $.
RW: please No!

Doormat & Manipulative

45eps of what the heck?
Story: identical twins in big city. One is blindly naive & gullible = doormat. Second yearns for bigger than life existence at any cost. But first she plastics herself to differentiate from door-matted sister. Lots of manipulation and just revenge for big chair.
Acting: ML solid, FL is child like, SML- go back to commercials. Don’t try An adult role kiddo. All the rest were okay
Music: blerg
RW: please not again - had to skip eps just to finish.
Summary: tale of emotional abuse, narcissism, and spoiled-neglected humans. What I NEVER saw:
-FL character development-same simplicity from eps1 thru 45 - WHY?
-ML is more mature and zero - minimal physical contact - not realistic for any man.
-SFL - way too much time spent on her horrible emotional abuse upon any that got near her, especially her sister. Who got special treatment of abuse to satisfy her ugliness.
-SML- he’s just way too young to carry anything but grocery sacks nonetheless chairmen of a company role.
Watch and skip every other. Drama should have been shorter - but product placement was far more crucial.

Contrary to...

Story: very immature, silly and just tiresome FL with great martial arts looking for????? No emotion ML.
Acting: just can’t. The one actor as a villain-monkey like was good and had memorable qualities
Music: okay
RW: not ever again
Overall: started and had serious apprehension as to the FL ability to develop. Nope! Sped through the remain eps to say I was generous. Watch at own risk if you like strong women. This impish FL shames them all, sadly. This story felt like a storybook for an child. Thinking the child might even get tired of this story line.

Just don’t even try to make any sense

Story: just not sure. Maybe a family wrongly held hostage - power by evil family for decades... sorry I’m still scratching my head.
Acting: FL as childish in eps thru 50; ML - he’s the only reason ton continue. Most nonsensical was the doofus 2nd lead - he should be with the child. The bicolor evil guy was good, his web of evil was tight. He delighted in strange delights.
Music: really?
RW: why?
Overall: some good fight scenes. The story just never got nailed down fully. Revenge, twisted love, classic emperor antics, poor character development. Why 55eps? Skipped half. Better flushed out story and 24eps. Maybe. Not powerful enough to be under anything. Watch at risk& skipping is advised. Good Luck

Dr child?

Story: most ludicrous gender swap. This female child was no way mistaken for anything but a silly- never really Saw her doctor... Enough said! Just bad & ludicrous.
Too many eps for a lackluster storyline. Tops 16eps. 12eps for an improved story.
Acting: FL was either perfect for role OR she needs a lighter role. Nothing serious. ML carried the drama. Rest of crew was emmmp.
Music: was pretty at times.
RE: no way.
Overall: Cv19 bound got me here. Skipped half due to ludicrous & mundanity of FL & story. Oh well, believing I’m lucky not to have encountered this child, male/female weak if I was sick,

Most important this was not extended, we bow to the overlords for not killing us. The drama overlords got wind OR just not enough snack or juice companies to advertise.
Story: what was the story? What were we to gather from all these stories moving parts. Too many moving parts, no value characters, and stuff that still has me perplexed. Key point: No character development at all for 90% of characters!
Acting: not infuriate reviewers. FL has minor acting improvement from previous roles however she was perfect for this airhead role - no acting stretch required or needed. ML has a swagger, smexiness, and carried the FL. Admittedly, the combo was sizzling chemistry. The rest of cast were flat and uninteresting.
Music: ML song was decent
RW: please don’t ask me to do this!
Beware don’t get sucked in by the leads chemistry, it sizzles! It keeps you coming back. This could have been a 18eps of sizzling chemistry and solid story rather than 45eps of musical chairs and delving into the rabbit hole only to find slime.

Cv19 bound and this was on my watch list. Why? This is a mashup of something that needed better or consistent writing. Get the reincarnated love thing but evolved space alien foxes .... okay I looked some weird stuff but this was not trying to be. It was seriously wanted to taken seriously?!
Acting: JH has the capacity to do better drama. His swagger and no expressions face are priceless. The FL did not know floor mats had a body. No chemistry she was flat the entire drama. Why this pairing. As for the side characters, really?
Music: one standout the Gui song and singer. Lyrics dreamy.
RW: not jut no but run opposite direction
Overall: JH seems be be paired with some of most shallow, weak, but visually appealing female actresses. Watch him at your own peril of drama bad script. Wasted eye candy!

Story: Not new- highly dysfunctional rich family fighting for control. The churn on this is the way it was unfolded with deceit, greed, and sexism on full display. Behind this entire story deals with a cultural phobia & isms that the writers handled superbly! This story is another fine example of how POWER works - power in the hands of a relentless, loyal women.
Acting/Cast: The entire cast was well chosen and perform off the charts. Dir HAN was sublime, cunning and ruthless- perfect as a antihero. Not one disappointment.
Music: Well done and fitting.
RW: Yes!
Overall: This story was had flavors of Christie and Tey, golden age mystery writers who were able to write timeless tales of dysfunctional, greed, deceit wrapped around cultural norms. If you are looking for a drama with less sweet and more substance, this might engage you. Must admit the beginning eps almost got me to drop due to the std trope of rich & entitled asshats getting away with murder & crushing the working man. Well, that's how they got rich right? Go deeper into the eps and you will find yourself hooked on the fulcrum character, she's amazing!
