this movie suddenly popped up in my netflix reccs, i ended up watching bc i usually dive in easily into any time travel-ish stories. i like how the storyline progressed, was a bit confused and didn’t know how to feel when vera and nico ended up together. idk,,, maybe because she met him as a child first? can’t totally blame nico either bcs he was confused and obsessed with the woman who saved his life for years. but i like him, and how he treated her right all those years they “spend” together, how he ended up selflessly gave up everything they had to save her in the end. they saved each other. and in the end as vera’s mother instinct going strong and managed to get her daughter back, she finally set everything right.

ITS SO GOOD????? i finally found another high school action comedy series this good again after yearsss (weak hero class, but this is the angsty ver). 

i love their dynamic so muchhh i love how they all progressively one another and save others even ending the toxic corrupt culture of the school, even when giman (mc) intention to begin with was not to save others but to fulfill his own desire (study) 😭 he’s such a simple, bright, and strong boy i love him

i love how every characters literally has layers, showing their background and reasons why they’re still studying in that toxic environment. my heart hurt seeing suncheol story with his grandpa. he was right, our life stops when we stop learning. as humans we do learn new things everyday, making a bigger opportunity for us by doing so.

with the quote from their study group room:
“난 지옥같은 상황에서도 기회를 만들어낸다.”
i create opportunities even in a hellish situation.

i laughed a lot esp when giman became so clueless of society cues or when they’re fighting because im sorry why’re they fighting in such an impossible way like that?? 😭 giman jumping from the third floor and doing superhero landing without any breaking any bones? punching glass without getting cut at all? punching someone through a wall until he made a hole in it? destroying a metal door when he was locked? moving and fighting as fast as the flash when he just had a broken leg? i agree with what the characters said, that he got inhumane abilities fr 😭

perayaan mati rasa, sebuah film tentang perasaan berduka. apa yang para karakternya rasakan relateable banget, kehidupan semakin dewasa yang semakin jauh dari rumah, dari keluarga, tekanan ekspektasi orang tua, kehidupan dan mimpi yang didambakan namun sulit dicapai, bener bener sebuah kisah yang menggambarkan kehidupan awal usia dua puluhan yang mudah untuk tersesat dan kehilangan diri.

ketika nonton pasti otomatis langsung mengenang orang orang yang telah tidak ada di samping kita. lagu dan musik yang membuat kita berpikir dan mengenang orang orang yang telah pergi dari hidup kita, berbagai emosi dan reaksi yang ditampilkan atas kematian orang tersayang, bagaimana kita semua struggle untuk menyampaikan kesulitan yang kita alami, penyesalan atas obrolan dan momen yang terhenti tak beresolusi.

aku harap siapapun yang kini sedang berduka dapat mendapatkan closure yang kalian butuhkan dan hati yang tenang tanpa penyesalan.

EVERYONE, literally everyone, especially the ones that is in a constant interaction with children/younger generation (parents, teachers, etc) in general must watch this. adolescence is gonna be telling you one of the thing a lot of parents struggling to control and how dangerous the media can be to the younger generations. 

the dialogue, the storyline, the plot, how the story unfolds bit by bit in every scenes was such an eye opener. this is gonna be a story that’d make you feel bad for all the kids and wonder how and when did it all go wrong.

they brought the topic that has been bothering me a lot, which was even if parents feel like they’ve done everything they could to protect their children, but with the rapid spread of media information we consume every single day, every hour every minute, we can never know what they see or hear behind closed doors. even when they’re home, staying in their rooms, they can never be safe from the world.

this pointed out that we need new kind of regulation and new way of supervision towards younger children so that they will not fall to the wrong side of the crowd. it is gonna be more complicated, even bullying happening with an even more complicated cryptic messages, so we gotta be more aware of the trends and what’s happening lately.

also the one camera take style for every episode with no cut at all ??? kudos to all actors because it must’ve been tough doing the performance for one hour straight, all the emotions, all mannerism, all their dialogues, not a chance for any mistake. the production was top notch, camera angle to capture every bit of emotion and expressions did very well. i was surprised to see the camera flew to the sky at one point.

my time binge-watching this for 4 hours straight was full of amazement 💯

its definitely something people must watch to understand the concept of consent, the struggle to live as a woman, and understand we demand and try to change the world to be a safer space for us. i hope it can help a lot of people to understand more about our pov and wanting to help more girls and women to raise our boice towards the blatant abuse, disrespect, and harassment we consistently face.

side note: WHY there were so many crimes that were shown here that were overlooked? idk abt regulations for selling weed and stuff there but bruh idk why’re they showing it too much. altho i understand that weed selling is one of the things that connect the characters tgt. also WHY DO THE TEENAGERS SMOKE A LOT??? i know the series was intended to be showing the realistic life between teenagers and juvenile delinquency but the characters just smoke too much and everywhere at that? telling their parents bluntly that they smoke and they’re even fine with that?  it’d be better if they’d at least be discreet in doing it

why don’t the characters make an story that don’t promote teenagers ruining their health too much frankly like this?

tbh i went watch it because of suho and i thought it was just a simple light easy watching mystery romcom drama but oh well 🤡 because WHY DID THEY KILL SEONWOO 😭😭 and not to mention towards the end the body count total that was killed spiked a lot too 😭

i didnt expect the shaman to be so smart and so manipulative???? like istg i felt bad for his situation (altho he was also sorta a conman) but i still did and wow was i humbled there

istg if the writer wasn't such a sadist seonwoo and yebun would've ended up together cz everything was already mutual,, and they respected and liked each other already

i have nothing against ML but i just wished he would've treated FL with better words and actions tbh he was not respecting her at all 2/3 of the series,,,, he got better at the end tho i am relieved

but overall it was a fun watch!! im glad i got to watch the butt-groping murder mystery solving 😂 the comedy was confusing in the beginning but they got better as they go. or maybe my humor is just getting broken the more i watch it lol

they’re basically bonnie and clyde kdrama version. you’d be having inner conflicts watching it, because well, they’d be doing crimes, yet they’re the protagonists, the way they brought up issues and story is different than your typical villain. and the reason behind it is understandable (jisoo), altho it doesn’t make what be’s doing right either. i have mixed feelings about the FL cz all this mess that she started just because she was bored, but i can feel her frustration throughout the show

the ending was craappppo tho like why didn’t the writers wrote a clear conclusion of their story??? like bro i wanna know how they’re gonna be. did they got caught in the end? was mr lee still alive? did min hee actually die? what did jisoo tell his teacher? did they actually ran out of the country together or…? urgh so many unanswered questions

will there ever be a season 2?

yoooo how could yall not make any noise about this drama tho, cz it’s so good??? i love that it brings discussion about “taboo” topics like same sex relationships and teenage pregnancy. i hate the fact that i understand both side of argument from ichika and principle, they’re both valid in their own respective point of view. altho i feel like it’ll make more sense if the school expel students who fail to fulfill their given trust to be involved in said romantic relationship, which made the students to be free expressing their desire to romantic relationship but if it ever affect their studies, morality, or getting pregnant. idk but thats just my opinion

AND PLEASE SEASON 2???? i picked this drama in the middle of the night, decided to marathon the whole episodes, thinking that its a simple drama that’ll have a simple resolution but WTH WAS THAT ENDING??? I NEED CLOSURE

also I LOVE THE OSTs I’m surely gonna be jamming to it for the entire week. And i love how they’re not shooting the way typical dorama does. I feel like the characters are more expressive (still within Japanese manners) in a bright colorful cinematography symboling the bright youth.

ps still hate the normalization of pedophilic relationships in japanese dramas cz wtf can yall stop

the secondhand embarrassment tho 😭 no but like after many scenes and i’d be reacting like “yoooo y’all watching this shit??” yet no one at the school (other students, teachers, even the weirdass principle) reacted or get involved in the middle of things AT ALL 

but fr tho the comedy aspect of this movie was top notch. nothing here was serious at all…. I’m loving it

ahead of its time. glad to see maurice got his own happy ending, altho sort of rooting for him to ends up with clive. but i can see his characterization makes it impossible for him to ever brave enough to sacrifice privileges that he has, instead of living life the way he actually wanted.

bro singlehandedly (with his lovely lady too) prevent a mass massacres. a tad bit of unrealistic in my opinion, i am no airport security tho. also CGI they had in the car fight was obvious…… other than that a good movie to watch on a weekday night.

Their comic print animation style is so ICONIC. This is a solid and fresh intro for miles morales as spiderman storyline. I am THRILLED that we have move on from peter parker storyline. Can’t wait to see his story moving forward.

Running out of adjectives to describe how much I love this movie. Not to mention the marvelous animation style???? They better be paying those animators good fr. I’m fine waiting for a long time to watch another masterpiece (the sequel), as long as the quality stays the same or better

Tbh not how I expected the story gonna go. They did good convincing us midway that the mother has been “hallucinating” all this time unable to let go, as they shot the scenes pre-plane with eerie vibe. But thankfully that wasn’t the case. The climax was not as good as how I anticipated from the suspense they built tho. Also weird way to make it seemed that she got brown ppl looking over her daughter’s window while not making it the case at the end.

It was an easy watch, something you’d choose when you just need a simple movie to see without having to think too much about it. The setting was limited, and in the middle of it kinda got a little boring but it was entertaining enough. The plot was also unexpected. The actors really did a good job for their part.

As for technicality, I am no pilot but I can expect that the scene where they almost hit the mountain then rammed onto the snow, yet managed to kept on flying was unrealistic.
