Hppy there is a other season

I have been waiting to watch this season as I have watched the first two seasons already. I enjoy Ahn Hyo Seop I have watched most of his films and I really enjoy his acting. So with the new season out I am looking forward to the casts acting in it and see what has happened to them since the last two season. I am hoping for more thrilling drama from the cast as they did in the other two seasons. So here is hoping a other good season to the other two seasons. I guess as many may know that this kind of drama does not come round often so it will be a very exciting to watch this season if it, is as good as the first two then here is hoping that if there is a other cliff hanger they make a other season. But I am sure most of you out there will be hoping for the same thing as I do that it will be a drama worth watching over and over again. So I hope all of you out there are waiting to watch it and excited for what is in store for the new season. So enjoy watching the new season everyone and to all the cast and crew who made it possible for a other season thank you for making it possible to have this season to watch.

This is one of those "if you're okay with a mindless plot" dramas. It's lighthearted, has a very pretty cast, and doesn't care about the plot too much.
If you're like me and can't stand it when there's too many cliche things and dumb plot lines then skip it. If you're like everyone else here who can somehow stand the random flowers and rainbows the drama shoves down your throat, go ahead and watch~ But I gotta say the ML is super hot and actually kinda cool in the first few episodes,, and the FL is cute and quirky,, it's why I watched 11 episodes and then quit...

By cliche scenes, I mean when the ML keeps picking up the FL bride and groom style all the time for no reason, is too over-protective, always saves the day etc etc. FL sometimes takes her own stand but its not enough. Better than some others I've seen though, especially the first quarter was good. I like the whistling ost in the beginning too~

¿Por qué innovar una historia tan buena?

Probablemente esta reseña estará ligada a compararla con el anime, pues no es algo que se pueda evitar. Me disculpo de antemano, pero se supone que es un "Live Action", lo cual implica que se debe respetar la historia con el fin de adaptarla fielmente al contar con la participación de actores. Sin embargo, por esa misma razón caemos en la crítica hacia esta versión cuando la comparamos con la saga de películas del Live Action, ya que es el modelo más cercano a la idea que supuestamente se debería tener para este dorama. Entonces me pregunto, ¿Por qué esta serie tiene tanto puntaje en lo particular? ¿Acaso es tan buena que merece la pena arriesgarse a verla?
La respuesta la obtuve de inmediato con solo ver el primer capítulo. Me encontré con un proyecto en donde quisieron pasarse de listos, y optaron por crear algo "genial" hasta el punto de tergiversar detalles, que a aquellos que no conocen la historia original se les pasaría por alto, pero para los que conocemos la trama sabremos que son tan importantes que cambia todo el contexto de una manera abismal.
Comenzaremos por Light Yagami. En el anime es un personaje que representa el modelo del joven ciudadano ideal. Es inteligente, estudioso, guapo, buen hijo, carismático a su modo de ser, y un compañero que es correcto, invitando a cada espectador a ser atraído por él cuando se revela que en el fondo el chico contiene una naturaleza oscura. Es un ser con sed de venganza que desea castigar a todos los criminales del mundo, en tanto que tiene la visión de convertirse en un verdadero dios para la humanidad. Light es un personaje que no decae ante alguna amenaza, porque sabe llevar con éxito la sorpresa, y por su gran habilidad en estrategia crea planes muy bien desarrollados, a pesar de que se alimenta tanto de la oscuridad que termina por ser un asesino en serie y un psicópata. En Death Note (2015) a Light lo representan como un chico que le gusta ver a Misa cantar (cuando ni siquiera sentía un ápice de interés por ella en el anime), es débil, asustadizo, tiene un trabajo de medio tiempo (no sabe leer inglés con fluidez, a diferencia del anime en donde sí se defiende muy bien con el idioma), y constantemente llora cuando entra en pánico, dando a entender que el muchacho al que contemplamos no puede ser el mismo chico al que esperábamos ver.
Por otro lado está "L". Se supone que L es una persona con Asperger lo cual implica que ve el mundo desde otra perspectiva. Es alguien que a pesar de su condición mantiene una ternura en su interior que enamora a la audiencia con solo descubrir su verdadera personalidad. Es un chico que a pesar de ser el detective más inteligente y capacitado del mundo, mantiene una gran humildad porque muy en el fondo desea conseguir amigos, además de su gran obsesión por los dulces. En esta versión por el contrario L es un chico prepotente, que le exige a su mayordomo constantemente caprichos sin siquiera decir un "por favor" ni un "gracias", y lo colocan como alguien que solo sirve para exhibir una cara bonita con abdominales, al fin y al cabo para ser un adolescente cliché en modo ¿Guay y rebelde?
Esos son algunos de los muchos cambios ridículos que le hicieron, los cuales me decepcionaron tanto que decidí abandonarla. Incluso, me esforcé por terminar de ver el capítulo 1 por si hallaba al final una mínima esperanza que me hiciera cambiar de opinión. Solo encontré en ello a un shinigami payaso, que no aporta el lado oscuro que se supone que la serie tiene que tener, a la madre de Light ausente por muerte, a un Light a quien odia a su padre, y a una Misa que no aporta el mismo carisma que la original, pues su comportamiento no es soso.
Aquí es donde caemos en la comparación con la saga de películas, pues es imposible que estas mismas abarcaran todo lo necesario debido al corto tiempo con que contaban. Aún así con todas las modificaciones que le hicieron, respetaron el orden de la historia, y supieron conservar la verdadera esencia de cada personaje o pieza clave para armar el rompecabezas, teniendo a un Light que sabía fingir cuando le convenía, a un L de personalidad peculiar, y a una Misa alegre y terca que estaba dispuesta a defender a su amor a cualquier precio.

En resumidas cuentas:
A la actuación de Death Note (2015) le doy un 2/10 porque no conseguía olvidar ni por un minuto que estaban actuando, todo el tiempo lo hacían de un modo poco profesional, lo que lo hacía demasiado forzado. La música ni siquiera la recuerdo, tampoco me causó el impacto necesario para querer buscarla y descargarla, así que le doy un 1/10. Obviamente no la volvería a ver, teniendo otras versiones que sí son fieles a la original, por esto le doy un 1/10. Y finalmente la historia, le doy un 5/10 pues la idea tiene la base de la original, aunque es producida desde una perspectiva demasiado pobre, y prepotente. Lo cual, sumando a todo da un total de 2.5/10 lo que me parece justo, porque tenían todo el material para sacarle provecho y hacer de ello una gran obra, pero al final se conformaron con ser "cool".

¿Mi consejo? No veas esta serie si ya viste el anime y/o las películas. Sino los has visto aún, te recomiendo que no te des mala vida y veas el anime y los films que te recomiendo, porque esta sin duda no es Death Note.

Something different..?

I initially decided to watch this show because the protagonist is played by Murakami Nijiro, who played Chishiya in Alice in Borderland , and it actually exceeded my expectations!

I've definitely never watched a jdrama of this genre, or any Asian drama at that. The intro song felt a bit unmatched with the show's vibe but that somewhat made it match even more ,idk if that even makes sense, but the episodes are around like 25 minutes, which is a bit short for me. As someone who absolutely DESPISES cliffhangers, I was lowkey annoyed by the unfinished ending of the episode lol.

I'd definitely love to venture into the more supernatural-horror type dramas in the near future!

Roller coaster emotions

You should have not highlighted that one cast and give her a lot of screentime if you'll resort into that "thing" in the last part of the episode 3. It's very disappointing hoho T_T you should have just punished her or make her rest for some episodes! Good luck to your ratings! THANK YOUUUUUUUUU!!

simply amazing

I’ve been watching kdramas for about 3 years and when I tell you I literally just made an MDL account last week just so I could review this drama. I'd stopped watching dramas set in high school but decided to give this a try 'cos I didn’t have anything else to watch. I didn't expect it to be this good and emotional. I thought it would be a surface-level high school drama but it’s so much deeper than that. It’s about finding the will to keep living even when it seems like your whole world is falling apart because if you choose to live one more day, things will get better. By only episode 2, I could already tell this was gonna be my favorite drama of all time.

A beautiful watch!! You're in for a ride! :D

Once again, OffGun has an entirely new dynamic which is different from that in their previous shows, which while expected (because duh, it's OG), is still a beautiful surprise and keeps you thrilled because even as a fan who has watched all of their shows, you don't know what to expect from them! And the story is original so you're going to go in having no idea how it's going to unfold and you won't have to worry about coming across spoilers.

The production is beautiful. I'm not normal about the color grading in particular, it's too pretty. The plot turnt out to be more fun than I expected. The humour is just right and I already LOVE the supporting characters as well, especially Baimon and Pun :D Judy is just damn!! Looking forward to see JudyBahmee's (the side CP) chemistry!

Ryan is a very relatable character and I was actually worried for him. But that's okay, he'll be fine :') I want to keep him in my pocket sooooo bad. And I was slightly worried if Jane was going to be mean just for the sake of it but no, he is an actually reasonable guy. His aura>>>>>> Eerytime he appears on screen, I melt alright! Mind you, only the first episode has dropped. I doubt if I'm ready for the rest :0

Overall, as a fan, my heart is very happy. Let me tell you, waiting for one week is pure torture.

Its not every ones cup of tea but try it yourself!

"When the Stars Gossip" is a blend of sci-fi and romance that might not appeal to everyone, but I find it captivating. The story revolves around a tourist, an OB-GYN doctor, who is set to marry a chaebol princess. However, he embarks on a secret mission that takes him to a space station, where he encounters a strong-willed and daring space commander.

The drama unfolds at a slow pace, which I believe serves as a thoughtful introduction to the plot and characters. It’s refreshing to see that the narrative doesn’t solely focus on romance; instead, it delves into the various scientific studies and experiences of the characters aboard the space station. I appreciate how this approach offers a different perspective on the genre.

As the leads are currently involved with other people, I’m curious to see how their relationship develops, especially given the sensitive nature of their circumstances. The casting is excellent, and the acting has been impressive so far. Overall, I'm excited for what’s to come and encourage others to watch it without being swayed by ratings or reviews. Form your own opinion and enjoy the journey!

unlikeable characters

I know I only watched this to episode 5, but I really couldn't continue any longer. There are three couples, and four of the people were quite unlikeable. I'm not sure if this ends up being a pride and prejudice retelling, but that's what I got from the main couple. The lawyer seems uncaring (except towards his sister), overbearing, and expects money to solve everything while happily trampling over the dedication and moral fortitude of everyone else. The doctor isn't as bad, but she appears to be oblivious to the politics of her job, and I just don't think this blindness fits with the rest of her character. It's frustrating. The cartoonist is TOO stubborn and melodramatic. I finally have up this show when she has a temper tantrum with whining manipulation to get something she truly wasn't fit for our deserving of. The second generation kid has no IQ and charms/tricks others into completing his responsibilities. I did love the third couple (the teacher and the courier) and I might read up on their story simply so I don't have to put up with the other two couples. I went into this hoping for something similar to You are My Hero, My Dear Guardian, or even Descendants of the Sun, but was sorely disappointed. I also recently dropped Blue Flame Assault, so maybe it's just a case of nothing composting to old favorites. Maybe Light Chaser Rescue gets better later on, but it wasn't worth it to me.
