Always. (Movie). 9
Story: 8
Acting: 10
Chemistry: 10
Comparable to: That Winter the Wind Blows (kdrama); Pain (kmovie); Your Eyes (jmovie)
Beautifully done kmovie. It’s an oldie but definitely a must watch for newbies. Storyline is simple and definitely will bring out the tears. It’s a healing emotional love story. Main leads have phenomenal chemistry together.

My Top Solo Leveling Ships
Wanted to talk a little about them, so I'll just list three main reasons why I like them otherwise this post will be endless. There are a lot of other ships I like, but these are the main ones
It's a little unhinged, but that shouldn't be new
1. ChoiBaek
Tumblr media
This shouldn't be a surprise
They are aware of the other's intentions without needing to tell each other. They both read other people and each other very well. The only reason they don't get along is because when both of them want the same thing (recruiting Sung Jin-Woo, a gate in the area, etc), they are both very willing to fight for what they want and use their perceptiveness to their advantage. One of them doesn't mind having his thoughts being known while the other minds a lot
They both want their guild become stronger but not at the expense of their members. They have the same morals, but the actions they take because of their morals are different. Baek Yoon-Ho wants to make his guild stronger by focusing on what his members need as individuals (paying them more, training new recruits with stronger and more experienced members, etc). Choi Jong-In wants to make his guild stronger by focusing on improving how the teams work together (hunting in a orderly way to minimize injuries as much as possible, taking a leadership role to make sure none of the members are falling behind, making sure the teams are adequately prepared, etc). Both of them care a lot about other people, though they don’t make it obvious to others
Both know the other is strong (Choi Jong-In defends Baek Yoon-Ho when Sung Jin-Woo thinks Yoon-Ho is struggling during the Jeju sparring match while Baek Yoon-Ho is aware of Choi Jong-In's strength during the Jeju Raid) but tend to underestimate themselves (Baek Yoon-Ho believing he wouldn't have been able to win against the Japanese S-Ranks when he held out for a while on his own against two of them, and Choi Jong-In seeing his title as "a joke" after comparing himself to Sung Jin-Woo when he always has to limit how much of his powers he actually uses because of the people around him or the environment he is in)
This got long anyways... sorry. The others are shorter
2. SungPark
Tumblr media
I wanted to see them more than the main couple
They are both selfless to the point where they make sure others are alright before taking care of themselves
They both want their family to be safe and happy and make taking care of their children their priority. Park Kyung-Hye tells her son it's okay for him to be a hunter, even though it's the reason why Sung Il-Hwan is gone, and she understands that it's something both her husband and son feel like they need to do
The way Kyung-Hye kept waiting for her husband to return home and knew the exact moment when he wouldn't be coming back Ripped my heart to SHREDS-
They were so in love laskdjfasdlf
3. MinLee
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AKA younger!SungPark
Both of them have similar trauma, so they're able to help each other, especially since they're both retired
Even they have trauma, they have put their fears aside to help people more. Both participate in the last Jeju raid despite Min Byung-Gyu being traumatized from the last one and Lee Ju-Hee being traumatized from her previous raids
The way Lee Ju-Hee hardly showed up after she told Sung Jin-Woo she was retiring and Min Byung-Gyu barely being mentioned besides his trip to Japan before the Jeju Raid? There's so much potential for them to actually meet-
I see them as the "bunny couple"
4. ChulWoo
Tumblr media
This was actually one of the first ships I really got into
The way Woo Jin-Chul knew Sung Jin-Woo from the beginning and was watching Sung Jin-Woo get stronger without realizing it at first
The way Woo Jin-Chul looked at Sung Jin-Woo in the new timeline when he remembered the previous timeline-
Honestly, in my opinion, Sung Jin-Woo had more potential with Woo Jin-Chul than Cha Hae-in. Like, Sung Jin-Woo avenging Go Gun-Hee not just for his sake but for Woo Jin-Chul? Sung Jin-Woo actually trying to not give Jin-Chul a headache but failing? I love their dynamic
5. HeeSeok
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is probably the most cracked ship out of these, but it's cute
Both of them have a caring, almost parent-like nature (Park Hee-Jin looking after Han Song-Yi during the Red Gate and Eun-Seok looking after and warning Min Byung-Gyu during the third Jeju Raid)
It's actually possible for them to have known each other despite it not being stated in canon (Eun-Seok was a member of the Fiend Guild, and Park Hee-Jin could have been a member of the Fiend Guild as well before leaving for White Tiger. The game might change this part about Park Hee-Jin, but I'll stick with it for now)
The way Eun-Seok wears a scarf with his hunter's outfit, and then Park Hee-Jin gets stuck in a frost Red Gate? And Park Hee-Jin looks somewhat okay despite it being cold, so it seems like both are fine in cold environments
Actually, in my monarch/ruler AU, Frost Monarch!Eun-Seok could be the reason Park Hee-Jin gets stuck there in that Red Gate...hmm
Feel free to ask for more of my thoughts and talk about your own below

SL characters as movie stars AU!
Sung Jin-woo
has been acting since he was a teenager. Though, he only gets lesser roles until he grows in the acting industry, thus earning the "glow up" as well the more he takes on roles. By the time he's in his twenties, Jin-woo receives lead roles and has never left ever since due to the impact of his performance that is hard to be seen as a supporting character. His movies range from drama, adventure, and action — though, he spend most of his time in the action genre. Jin-woo does his own stunts as he does martial arts and working out as his hobbies. Whenever he gets partnered up with someone, dating rumors always spark up, so he tends to avoid having a partner for the sake of protecting his zone. He improvises some of his lines and is very professional.
Cha Hae-in
a former athlete to one of the country's biggest stars. Due to her sweetheart persona, she often gets roles in soap operas, dramas, and romance, though she wants to take on the action genre to hone her skills. Her management got her stunt doubles, much to her dismay, until they trusted her enough to do her own stunts. Hae-in's skills are very realistic that every time she cries in her scenes, several of the production cry as well, thus allowing her to earn many awards. She gets along with her co-workers and is even said to be that some of her leading men develop a crush on her. However, she has not dated at least one of them, even outside her career, as she chooses to focus on her job.
Woo Jin-chul
a star who has been featured in international movies, hence becoming a multilingual because of his passion in learning new languages before his departure from South Korea. He is usually stern, but is very friendly to his co-workers, as well as his fans. Jin-chul takes on both protagonist and antagonist roles, although he secretly likes his villain roles more than his hero ones. He does his own stunts and is skillful with holding guns.
Choi Jong-in
most of his roles are those wherein he's the son of a millionaire or just a rich person who owns a big company. He hardly gets main roles, but the impact in his performances even as a supporting character are what made him prominent in the industry. Jong-in also has roles where he's an antagonist, which his fans prefer more; it is also said that some of his castmates or co-workers feel quite intimidated by him.
Baek Yoon-ho
a prominent action star who does his own stunts. Not once he has appeared in movies that are anything but action. Despite being in his twenties, Yoon-ho receive roles where he is a single father who will do anything to protect his family, thus capturing the hearts of the young actors and actresses he works with. He also helps his castmates in training for fighting scenes, thus forming a bond with them as well. Yoon-ho has his own charity that he donates a sufficient amount of money in for helping tigers and other wild animals.
Lee Ju-hee
one of the industry's dearest sweethearts. Her movies are mostly in the slice of life genre, specifically romance. Regardless of what she believes, Ju-hee never fails to create chemistry with the ones she works with, especially to those who have partnered up with her. She receives both main and supporting roles. Lee Ju-hee may have appeared in horror and action films, but she prefers to stay in the slice of life genre despite not minding to step out of her comfort zone.
Lim Tae-gyu
a actor whose roles are primarily supporting, yet has many main roles as well. His skill ranges from drama, comedy, and action. Tae-gyu mostly does his own stunts, always allotting his time in training once he receives the script. He's charismatic, yet isn't necessarily great when it comes to romantic chemistry because of the vibe he frequently gives out. He's friends with many famous stars such as Baek Yoon-ho, Choi Jong-in, Ma Dong-wook, Min Byung-gyu, Sung Jin-woo, and Cha Hae-in, and has revealed of his wish of being able to be in the same film as them together.
Min Byung-gyu
an actor who has shown up in various genres. When it comes to slice of life, Byung-gyu mostly gets leading roles, and sometimes, he gets the "second male lead" roles, which brings more impact to the viewers. But as for other genres like action and horror, Byung-gyu takes on supporting roles; he is one of the actors who has a stunt double and still gets to do certain stunts depending on his capability. And when it comes to the historical genre, that is when Byung-gyu gets most excited and believes he does his roles better in period dramas than the rest, partly because he is a big fan of historical dramas which he views his other roles differently. Byung-gyu is great at improvising his lines that the director only has to tell him the background of the scene and Byung-gyu knows what to do next, which somehow makes some actors feel challenged as they are not sure if they can go along with Byung-gyu's improvised lines. But, Byung-gyu always does his best to help his co-stars and not make them feel pressured.
Eun-seok
one of the country's lesser known actors who is known for getting background roles. Eun-seok hardly appears in films, yet is friends with a lot of big stars in the industry. The reason being that he got severely injured in set once, which has scarred him and chose to no longer show up in filming unless he feels like doing so.
Yoo Jin-ho
a supporting actor who is well-known for being Sung Jin-woo's "sidekick" as he had been acting alongside him for years. Yoo Jin-ho specializes in roles that are comedic relief — he doesn't mind it since that means he doesn't have a lot of lines to memorize. Despite being an actor himself, Jin-ho is not afraid to unleash his inner "fanboy" when it comes to expressing his support in actors and actresses he admires.
Park Hee-jin
an actress who is known for her background or supporting roles. Hee-jin excels from soap operas to action movies. Her roles are usually helping the main character and defending them from the antagonist(s).
Ma Dong-wook
a versatile actor in his fifties who has different roles in various genres, whether it be a father or someone the main characters seek help from. He shares his experiences to his fellow stars as his way of helping them in filming and has a lot of actors/actresses wishing to act in the same movie as him; not because of his talent, but also his kind nature that he treats everyone younger than him as his children.
Liu Zhigang
China's rising action star. A likeable and charming actor whose roles are both protagonist and antagonist. Zhigang does his own stunts and likes to go to the extreme where no editing shall be involved. He's one of the faces in the industry whose management cannot simply allow to be part of a film unless the paycheck is immense and does not tarnish Zhigang's talent. In every film he is in, it receives many awards that reach up to internationals. Zhigang has acted in international films, which makes him fluent in English after being casted alongside stars in different countries.
Thomas Andre
a powerful actor in the USA who is popular for his antagonistic roles. Thomas enjoys playing the bad guy. And what makes him likeable is that he donates half of his money to charities and has his own foundation for children with special needs and disabilities. He is funny and tends to joke around in set, along in conventions where he gets to communicate with fans and gives them the best time in their lives.
Laura
an actress who excels most in the action genre. She films her scenes effortlessly and smoothly without needing a second take. Laura learns martial arts off-screen and knows how to hold a gun; she is also sassy and has the kind of humor that makes her co-stars adore working with her despite her stern and cold demeanor.
Goto Ryuji
a versatile actor in Japan who appears in dramas and action. His roles are mostly in the villain side, which what makes him intimidating to other actors. Goto prefers to work with those who are professional and hardly messes up more than twice otherwise he thinks they are wasting his time. However, he is usually gently to those who are younger and new to the acting industry, he looks out for them and won't hesitate to scold the production if the first time actors ever get hurt in set.

Reborn Rich the final episode
What an ending.
It's so bittersweet but I love it. Maybe it's my obsession with Jin Do Jun, but if you follow the actual chronology of things - Do Jun was reborn as Hyun Woo first. Because he died first. And if fate cannot be changed then he was meant to recover his memories as Jin Do Jun, which had alread been burried within him. Even before Hyun Woo "died" (for a week), it was meant to happen. So who is really who at the end? As Hyun Woo called it, you could think of it as repentance, but for me personally, Do Jun existed in Hyun Woo long before Hyun Woo got "reborn" as Do Jun.
All that being said, I do have some very smaaaaaall issues with the ending.
First, it felt rushed. Honestly the last 3 episodes or so felt really rushed compared to the rest of the drama's pace. Everything that needed to happen still happened, but it was just.... I don't wanna say half-baked but.....
Second, Hyun Woo got shot straight in the head point blank. You're telling me he miraculously survived that? Sure there are some miracles that happene even in real life, but it's a patter I hate with tv shows, nto just kdrama. At the very least, he would've needed years to recover. Although, if I really want to defend it, I could say the years he spent as Do Jun somehow changed Hyun Woo's brain's perception of time which afforded him just enough time to recover. Still, between Do Jun's and Hyun Woo's death, Do Jun would've had a much higher survival rate than Hyun Woo. Sure, Do Jun's car got slammed pretty hard, but it's not comparable to getting shot at point blank IN THE FREAKING HEAD, now is it? :/
Also I would've loved to see the actual process of Mr. Oh Se Hyun working with Do Jun's mother, instead of just hearing about all the things they're gonna do..... but we don't get to see them.
Jin Sung Jun's character deserved more too. Sure he was greedy, but he was not guilty of ordering Do Jun's murder. Both times he was innocent. He knew everyone would've suspected him, which is was exactly what his father wanted. It's the reason why he got the company in the first place. Sung Jun deserves some justice too. I feel like it would've been that more epic if the show had gone back to the conversation between Hyun Woo and Sung Jun from episode 1 and committed to the bond that was forming. Imagine if we had Hyun Woo and Sung Jun working together in the final episodes. Hyun Woo gets to finish Do Jun's deed and Sung Jun finally has a change of heart and pays tribute to his grandfather and runs the company with the same heart his grandfather had.
On a more positive note (says anticupid), Hyun Woo did not end up in a relationship with Min Young! Which makes logical sense, for once. I'm not saying I'm happy that they didn't get together, I'm saying it happened for the right reasons. But I'm sure most of the ship's fans will be satisfied that she seemed to recognize Do Jun in Hyun Woo in the end. One could imagine they did end up meeting up and like.... making babies. Idk.
I liked the future Min Young a lot more. Although for her to become the Soonyang Grim Reapper and wear only black because she was mourning for Do Jun, I really would have loved to see more of their relationship developing at least? As it was all based on only a few times they talked? Briefly? But I guess human emotiones are unpredictable, so it's possible. Anyways, there's that.
A little sad the endings of the rest of the characters were rushed by too, but I didn't see anything that made me think "hmm this doesn't make sense". Honestly, is there not going to be a season 2? Now I'm kinda disappointed, because I wish we had spent more time with how the other characters' life continued. As well as more to see of Do Jun with his family. But I get it, it was never the focus of the show.
All my other thoughts about this drama flew out the window.
I can say it was a lovely experience. I enjoyed this so much despite constantly finding something to nag about. I loved following Jin Do Jun's life, and that particular era in South Korea's history. The real footage they used. I loved Jin Yang Cheol's character, I loved Lee Sung Min's acting (as well as Joong Ki's, always).
It made me cry a couple of times and any drama that invokes real emotion in me keeps a spot in my heart. Especially when Ha In Seok went to testify and thought Hyun Woo was Do Jun (was he wrong though?) and wanted to protect him. The unspoken hero of this show. It was a fantastic story, even if we look at it only from Do Jun's perspective, it makes for an amazing story. Had Hyun Woo not even been a part of this drama, I would've still loved just watching Do Jun and his grandpa. Hyun Woo's growth at the end was the bonus for me. I get to exprience something which unlocked his cage and his heart. The boy who grew up in poverty and had many hardships because of it, the boy who willingly walked into a cage because of his trauma caused by poverty. He put his emotions aside, thinking that money was more important than them. Finally, he was freed from it all.
With a new look on life, a new heart and a new dream, he was able to leave all of his hurt behind and live in a way that not only fits him better, as a human, but also a life that Do Jun would be proud to see him live.
Ugh. I'm gonna miss Do Jun's smile though. I know Joong Ki plays both, but that smile is now Do Jun's until the day I die and there's no changing my mind.
Alright, time to go cry in a dark corner. I love-hate this ending.

The Moon
Tumblr media
Movies watched in 2023
Director & Writer: Kim Yong Hwa
Mini-review:
I love space movies, especially when they're well-made, and The Moon pretty much ticks all the boxes for me. Tbh, the story is not original at all, and I feel like we've seen it in many other films over the last decade. Luckily, the director made sure to keep things as engaging and entertaining as possible. On top of that, the production values are fantastic. I have never seen better CGI in a Korean movie, and the sets are just stunning. That being said, the thing that truly carries this movie is the acting. This cast is full of top-notch actors, but the clear standout is Do Kyungsoo. He goes all in with his performance, and he's the main reason why you care about everything that happens. So, to sum up, The Moon offered me all that I wanted from it: a well-acted and enjoyable popcorn movie about space.

REBORN RICH
GENRES: Drama, Mystery
SUMMARY: Everybody dies. Sometimes, after you die, you're reborn as a member of the conglomerate family who killed you mercilessly.
THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Infinite 90s pop-culture references, glazed donuts, corporate greed, halmeoni hanboks, evil cousins, vengeful siblings, Vienna coffees (no cinnamon), brain tumors, bad investments, car accidents, fortune-telling assistants, Quantum Leap style face-offs, awkward dinners, fake smiles, and lots of envelopes filled with contracts.
HOT TAKE: I stopped and re-started watching this drama nearly half a dozen times before I finally finished it. The individual performances are fine, but the revenge plot took so long to come to fruition that I often forgot why this was all happening in the first place.

Alchemy of Souls (Part 1 & 2)
Tumblr media
This is definite another favorite of mine; right next to Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Alchemy of Souls & Alchemy of Soul: Light and Shadow tell the story a young group of mage who have to fight against the greed of soul shifters and the sorcerous that conjure the spell. The story has a perfect balance of humor, action, romance, and suspense in a beautifully threaded plot.
The story begins with Naksu, a powerful female assassin, who wants to avenge the murder of her father as she follows her master's orders. And Jang Ok trying to unlock the power within him in his quest to becoming the mage everyone is trying to prevent him to become because of the truth of his birth. These two meet when Jang Ok has left his last master and she has shifted to the body of a blind girl in order to escape death. But she is no longer the powerful mage she had been, now that she is trapped in this body and in order to regain her power, she accepts becoming Jang Ok's master disguised as servant.
These two lives are entwined in a tangle of intrigue, misunderstanding and friendships that are strengthened and forged as Naksu as Mu Deok and Jang Ok walk the challenging terrain to make Jang Ok reach the highest level of a mage.
I fell in love with the characters, their personalities, their struggles and feelings. The end of the first part broke my heart.
The second part starts 3 years after Mu Deok's death and Jang Ok's returning from the afterlife with the ice stone. Jang Ok who is surrounded by shadows, and the pain of losing the love of his life, has become the most powerful mage and carries the responsibility of destroying soul shifters. Meanwhile, the two souls that had co-existed in Mu Deok's body are now enclosed in Naksu's body. But this time, both souls have lost their memories and powers and are imprisoned in the Jinyowon household. It is through Jin Bu Yeon's interaction with Jang Ok and the others that she slowly regains her powers and memories. In this last part, the youth come together to defeat the greed and selfishness of the king, queen, and everyone who sought to gain power through the alchemy of souls and the ice stone.
This series was definitely worth the wait! I recommend it to everyone. I will be thinking about this story for a long time. I know I will be watching this one multiple times.

Episode 4 got fucking heavy for me. Monster Bullies and abusers create monsters from their victims. Figuratively, sometimes literally. Sometimes they make it impossible to live.
This zombie/bullying as an allegory is heavy for me. Good show, cleverly thought out. But personally heavy.

REBORN RICH // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU
UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.
İmdb: 8,2 Benim Puanım: 10
Drama: Reborn Rich (English title) / The Chaebol's Youngest Son (literal title)
Hangul: 재벌집 막내아들
Director: Jung Dae-Yoon
Writer: San Kyeong (web novel), Kim Tae-Hee
Date: 2022
Language: Korean
Country: South Korea
Cast: Song Joong-Ki, Lee Sung-Min, Shin Hyun-Bin, Kim Nam-Hee, Jo Han-Chul, Park Hyuk-Kwon
2023 (59th) BaekSang Arts Awards - April 28, 2023
Best Actor (Lee Sung-Min)
Song Joong-Ki’nin Türkiye de dizi çekiyor olması haberi kore severlerde bir heyecan patlaması yaşatsa da ülkemizde dizi; ilk bölümde Türkiye de öldürülmesi ile gündem oldu. Yapımcı ve yönetmenin Türkiye’yi kara para aklanan, korkutucu insanların olduğu 3.sınıf bir Ortadoğu ülkesi olarak resmetmesi birçok kişinin tepkisini çekti. Uzunca bir süre sadece Türkiye sahnelerinin sarartılmış olmasını, gelen turisti sokaktaki çocukların bile hırpalaması konuşuldu. Seçilen müzikler daha oryantal, etraftaki tabelaların da Arapça ağırlıklı olması da tuz biber oldu. Gel gelelim bu şahane dizinin eleştirilen bu tü kaka kısımları hepi topu 3dk sürüyor olmasına… Gözünüzü seveyim, senaryoda böyle bir kurgu varmış çekmişler. Her ülkenin kötü yanı, her mesleğin iyisi kötü, insanın niyeti bozuk olanı var. 3 dakikalık bir gösteriyi ne kadar kişiselleştiriyorsunuz.
Diğer yandan dizinin bir diğer dedikodusu ise Samsung şirketinin gerçek hayattaki skandallarına çok benzemesi üzerineydi. Bizim çok aşina olduğumuz bir mevzu değil ama Kore’de böyle de bir durum var. Dizi ise; Kore’nin en büyük Chaebol ailesine ait Soonyang Group’u konu alıyor. En tepedeki isim Jin Yang-Cheol(Lee Sung-Min) çocukları arasında bir halef seçmediği için bütün aile halefi olmak için yarışa girmiştir. Her büyük şirket hikayesinde olduğu gibi bu dizininde ana konusu aile üyeleri arasındaki iç savaşı anlatıyor. Yoon Hyeon-Woo(Song Joong-Ki) ise bu koca şirkette haleflerden birinin altında rütbeli çalışandır. Bir gün şahit olduğu bir yolsuzluğu patronuna söylemesi sonucu mevzu büyür ve başrolümüzü götürüp Türkiye’de kafasına sıkmak sureti ile öldürürler. Kafasına sıkılan karakterimiz uçurumdan düşer ve gözünü açtığında 17 yıl önce Chaebol ailesinin 10 yaşlarındaki küçük torunu Jin Do-Jun’undur.
Artık amacı aile içinde sağlam bir yer edinmek ve onun ölümünü planlayan kişiyi bulmaktır. Tekrar yaşaması gereken önünde 17 yıl vardır. Ülkede olacakların yanı sıra dünya da olacakları da bilen benliği ile 17 yıllık planını izliyoruz. Hani herkesin geçmişe gitsem sayısal numarasını kendime veririm diye yaptığı geyik var ya, geçmişe gittiğinizi ama sayısal vermenize gerek olmayacak kadar zengin bir ailede doğduğunuzu hayal edin. Çöküşleri, yatırım imkanlarını, piyasa değeri fırlayacak markaların bilgilerini bildiğinizi düşünün. İşte dizi bu ekonomist bakış açısı üzerinden ilerleniyordu.
Oyuncular ve oyunculukları… Benim fikrim, şahane olduğu yönündeydi. Büyük patron Chaebol’ün başı Jin Yang-Cheol rolündeki Lee Sung-Min yıkmış geçmişti. Zaten tecrübeli olan oyuncu, yıllarını boşa harcamadığını herkeslere kanıtladı. Song Joong-Ki’nin oyunculuğuna ise donuk diyenler olmuş, çarpılırsınız. Başarılı oyuncu tek kelime ile efsaneydi. Hem 17 yaşında ergen oldu, hem 25 yaşında genç hem de 40 yaşında adam. Dizi çekilirken 37 yaşında olan oyuncu, 3 jenerasyonunda içinden geçti bana mısın demedi. Bu kadar zor bir şeyi seyirciyi koparmadan başarmak yetenektir, emektir. Kimsede kalkıp donuktu diyemez. Sen neyi başardın haspam derler adama.
Dizide elle tutulur bir romantizm yoktu. Birinci bölümde Yoon Hyeon-Woo’nun peşindeki soğuk savcı Seo Min-Yeong (Shin Hyun-Bin), ilerleyen zamanlarda Jin Do-Jun ile romantik yakınlaşmalar yaşasa da, doyurucu bir hikaye değildi. Asıl donuk olan bence Shin Hyun-Bin’di. Kadronun geri kalanına baktığımızda biraz soft bir oyuncu olarak kalıyordu.
Ben zaman atlaması, zamanda yolculuk gibi kavramları kavramakta çok zorlanan bir insan olarak, dizinin sonu benim için bir tık puslu kaldı. Bunun sorumlusu benim, o yüzden kimseye bir yorum yapamam. Ama onu da havada bırakıp kalbimizi kırmadılar. Bağlandı, toplandı. Benim için 2022 yılının en iyi 2 dizisinden biri oldu. Diğeri Big Mouth, onu konuşmuştuk. Tavsiye ederim ama gözünüzün ucuyla ön yargıyla değil, hakkıyla izleyin isterim.

Ghost Doctor. 8
Story: 9
Acting: 10
Chemistry: 10
Comparable to: Bad and Crazy (kdrama) ; Two Cops (kdrama)
A highly rated bromance kdrama. The chemistry between the two male leads, Rain and Kim Bum are excellent. It’s kooky, funny, and hilariously entertaining. It does though unfortunately get that middle half doom of gloom (stuck with filler disjointed uneven episodes) Luckily it picks back up in the ending making a successful finale. For those seeking the romance though I probably would look elsewhere but this is overall a really great supernatural fantasy drama.

• transferee in the school.
• gets lost in the middle of the hallway because he doesn't know where his classroom is located until a friendly student helps him and leads the way. The student introduces himself as Min Byung-gyu.
• when Jin-woo gets there, he's seated at the back in the second column. He is used to sitting next to the window a lot, but this time, there is already a student occupying the seat and snoozing.
• is quiet, reserved, and barely raises his hand. But when his name is called, Jin-woo answers correctly.
• has little doodles on his notebook if he's getting bored in lectures.
• signs up for the track and field.
• often gets picked up by two brothers from another class named Hwang Dong-soo and Hwang Dong-suk. Jin-woo chooses to ignore them, but when he has enough, he retaliates in a way that won't end him up at the principal's office or at the teacher's.
• if classes are dismissed early, Jin-woo stops by his little sister's school to pick her up.
• his first friend is a junior named Yoo Jin-ho, but among his classmates, his first friend is probably Byung-gyu (who checks up on him frequently) or Hae-in (since she's in the same sport as him).
• plays games on his phone when he has a vacant time, which got him closer to Byung-gyu, Tae-gyu, Hae-in, and Yoon-ho.
• classmates: Choi Jong-in, Cha Hae-in, Baek Yoon-ho, Min Byung-gyu, and Lim Tae-gyu.
Choi Jong-in
• president of the student council.
• known as the smartest student in school, but the students are divided on that topic since Cha Hae-in occasionally steals his spot.
• a master in essays and solving mathematical equations.
• basically has the trust of every teacher in school. Even the principal.
• doesn't join any sports clubs, only academic ones.
• makes tutoring his business. 100 won per hour, but 70 won if he's feeling magnanimous.
• doesn't like getting his lunch at the cafeteria since he has low patience, especially when he's hungry, so he usually goes out to the nearest convenience store outside school.
• hates it when the vending machines are low on snacks every time he uses them after classes, so Jong-in makes a rule to the students to limit getting snacks. He even has a secret camera attached somewhere.
• frequently scolds Tae-gyu for sleeping in class. Tae-gyu also pays him double when asking for tutoring in a certain subject — solely to stop Jong-in from scolding him in-between lessons.
• also argues with Baek Yoon-ho for several reasons.
• he's strict, yes, but he is kind in his own way and is ready to defend anyone from being bullied. He has the contact number of the principal, so Jong-in uses that to increase his threats.
• classmates: Cha Hae-in, Baek Yoon-ho, Sung Jin-woo, Lim Tae-gyu, and Min Byung-gyu.
Cha Hae-in
• vice president in the student council.
• is second smartest, but steals Jong-in's place, which ends the two in a competition (from Jong-in's perspective) even though they've been friends since elementary.
• is shy and isn't active as well. When called, she answers correctly without having a second to think.
• she and Jong-in often argue about which answer of theirs is correct during maths.
• is a track and field runner, which is a sport she has been passionate about, and has been trusted to teach the newbies.
• has a friendly rivalry with Choi Tae-woong, who is a fellow athlete.
• she's friendly, but only a few people know what she really is like as a person. Cha Hae-in often gets underestimated due to her kind and soft nature, but once she gets mad, she won't hesitate to release her ferocity.
• has the most organized notes ever and almost not a single erasure is seen.
• she listens to classical music when studying.
• has an unhealthy obsession with coffee while studying for a test and Jong-in has to be the one to stop her.
• classmates: Sung Jin-woo, Choi Jong-in, Baek Yoon-ho, Min Byung-gyu, and Lim Tae-gyu.
Baek Yoon-ho
• basketball player.
• is actually good at English and despite being involved with sports, he turns in his assignments at the perfect time.
• doesn't raise his hand on purpose and often looks bored in class, especially when he doesn't like the teacher.
• lives in the same apartment as Byung-gyu and Hee-jin, so they usually go to school together.
• has a close bond with his coach, Ma Dong-wook.
• is one of the few people who has never been bullied due to his intimidating persona and Yoon-ho can and will scare those who try to mess with him.
• helps teachers around. Some say that he does that only to get high grades, but Yoon-ho is naturally helpful and often tells teachers that they don't have to do something in return.
• carries a gym bag around that contains both of his jerseys and school supplies.
• always has a big container of water. It's only for him when training, but that doesn't stop his friends from asking for water.
• spends his lunchtime with his friends.
• his parents own a restaurant in a separate block from his apartment, so Yoon-ho often brings his friends there for a meal or group study.
• classmates: Cha Hae-in, Min Byung-gyu, Choi Jong-in, Lim Tae-gyu, and Sung Jin-woo.
Lim Tae-gyu
• tennis player.
• usually sleeps in class.
• doesn't have a particular subject he excels in unless it's P.E, though he manages to pass anyways.
• exams? Students are anxious and panicking? Tae-gyu thinks they're overreacting and continues minding his business.
• gets under some teachers' nerves sometimes, but as usual, Tae-gyu doesn't care and will still joke around them until they threaten him to fail in class.
• does his homework in school, but if he's around his friends after school, he'll do it already.
• hates being paired with someone he does not know or not close with.
• acts like he doesn't have a lot of money, but he is given 500 won worth of allowance every week.
• used to sit in the front of the class until some students start complaining they cannot see the writings on the board due to his hair.
• supports Jong-in on the snack limit of vending machines rule because he too has experiences of seeing an empty machine.
• despises when he's assigned to clean restrooms. Tae-gyu always has a spare facemask and surgical gloves. It never fails him to receive odd looks from his friends.
• classmates: Min Byung-gyu, Choi Jong-in, Sung Jin-woo, Baek Yoon-ho, and Cha Hae-in.
Min Byung-gyu
• the history nerd in class.
• is weak in maths, so he frequently asks Jong-in or Hae-in for help. But usually, it's Hae-in because he doesn't want to spend his allowance on Jong-in, who doesn't care whether they're friends or not in terms of tutoring.
• knows how to construct essays, not just because he has been taught in school, but due to him reading essays written by historical figures in his free time.
• has known Hee-jin and Yoon-ho since they were young, but hangs out with Yoon-ho the most since Hee-jin used to study in a different location until they finally enrolled into the same school.
• is friends with Eun-seok, who studies in a different school and the son of one of his mother's friends, after tutoring him. Their schedules are different, but Byung-gyu makes sure to include Eun-seok when hanging out during weekends.
• is the reason why the previous history teacher in his class quit because Byung-gyu kept correcting the mistakes in the lessons and even argued with that said teacher.
• reads manga and bonds with Tae-gyu and Jin-woo with it.
• allots some time to watch his friends practice at the gym or field. It's all fun until Hee-jin and Yoon-ho make him choose on whose game he'll attend.
• is also good at science and will help anyone who needs it for free. looking at you, Choi Jong-in!
• frequently stops by at the library, both in school and outside.
• classmates: Sung Jin-woo, Choi Jong-in, Baek Yoon-ho, Cha Hae-in, and Lim Tae-gyu.

• plays volleyball.
• specializes in science and studies geography in her free time.
• likes eating ice cream before going home.

• hates having Kim Chul as one of her group members during a project.
• due to her being a volleyball player, some students try not to make her mad otherwise Hee-jin will leave a red mark on their body. Even when she's laughing, she tends to hit people, so Yoon-ho and Byung-gyu choose to stay away from her as possible.
• classmates: Han Se-mi, Gina, Son Ki-hoon, Lee Min-sung, Kim Chul, and Yoo Soo-young.

• has a cute little cousin who lives with her and whom she also teaches.
• likes studying by herself, but she also likes studying with her closest friends.
