The classic case of starting strong and then petering out. Perhaps my expectations were all about how a girl that is deemed "conventionally unattractive" found a way to cope by being an internet star and how it slowly corrupts her in her life. Instead the real timeline that talks about her life as an internet chat room girl only lasted less than half the show and the rest of the episode focuses on a few time jumps that looks at the consequences of a terrible action she did throughout her life. However this is done through a straightforward and almost tension-free narration to the point that I kind of stopped caring by episode 5 and just dragged myself to finish it. It just feels that except of this cat and mouse game between one person and another, there's nothing going for the show. Everything feels low-stakes and while most things are explained neatly, there is no real suspense or excitement or action. It's the epitome of drama that turned from on the hinge of possibly dark psychodrama into a family narrative about longterm consequences of poorly thought-out actions. Not worth it, but they REALLY had me in the first half ngl.

Fun rail shooter with zombies galore but without the refined touch of House of the Dead. While the many types of weapons are fun and most zombies respond accordingly based on where you shoot them, the biggest problem with the game is how utterly boring and predictable the clusters of zombies are. Instead of introducing them in a setting that makes sense one by one, they always appear in a cluster of around 2 cheerleader zombies, 2 haz mat zombies, 2 bigger zombies, and a few odds and ends. It's so weird how they always appear in a clump like that. And during the extremely long last 2 levels, they become very annoyingly repetitive. Graphics are really good, and the voiceover work is good if a little repetitive, but there is also a lack of "punchiness" when your shots hit the target that is satisfyingly present in games like Time Crisis or House of the Dead. Overall, nice effort for an indie game, but I wouldn't pay more than 5-6 dollars for it tops.

No-nonsense, brutal combat that is intuitive and satisfying with only very little cheap spots. It is a rather visceral game and it's very fun to play. Feels a bit indie (because it is) but overall awesome. Control is very responsive and I got only one time that the game glitched. Plus I was able to nab it for around 2 dollars on sale, that makes it astoundingly good value! If you like top-down action like the Hong Kong Massacre, get this NOW.

A massive waste of time for me. A very unpopular opinion, I know. The whole set up is that Park Saeroyi is supposed to be this cool, calm, calculating guy that tries to enact revenge upon the wrongdoing that was perpetrated by the main chairman to his father. But if you watch this (super drawn-out) series, you'll realize he didn't do anything for the "revenge" other than making his own company successful. He only starts to get his "revenge" when the main antagonist gets so old he starts to get sick (yes, basically he did almost nothing successful in terms of actual revenge all those years). The main love interest is an annoying, self-absorbed, entitled brat who essentially sexually molested an unconscious Park and then just hung around for 10 years or more never dating anyone just waiting for him to SUDDENLY fall in love with her (spoiler: he did). And all the characters in the main plot never seem to have any new relationships with other people in the 10 years or so that this whole thing takes place, its absolutely ridiculous. Nice set up, it looks like it was going to be an interesting show, but WOW what an annoying overrated waste of time it ended up being.
