Alright I think if you’re looking to watch this show or if you have this will be a good review to read. To be honest I was between 4 and 5 stars cause there was things I loved and things I hated. First of all this show did NOT need 21 episodes and the 21st episode was dumb the way they ended it was weird bc spoiler the ML has amnesia twice and gets it again and he realizes it’s her all in the span of like 10 mins. LIKE WHAT. And btw he literally had amnesia like two episodes ago too. Certain things were done a bit weird for example timing and specific details in a show are really important for example the female leads younger brother is older than the grand heir by a lot but All of a sudden they are the same age?! Like what. This is a small detail when the grand heir guys the crown princess. Next thing is the king is so absurd prolly the worst king I have ever seen coward. Now I must say I rlly recommend this to ppl who have PATIENCE and also want to see a green male flag. Warning u won’t be able to go back to regular males after. This male lead is the most green flag Man U will ever watch it was amazing. Now the romance was dragged and they also used romance for filler episodes knowing they will leave each other. It was frustrating because whole show until the VERY END like literally was right person wrong time except the most aggravating part was they made it the wrong time. Like ML did not even have to follow grand prince and since he did all these problems started. As well a they are both stubborn so like they both liked each other from early episodes so as the viewer I thought oh okay we will get romance early on oh was I wrong. Now why am I giving this five stars with all my complaints well my very favorite part was the politics was actually decent usually I fall asleep and the male Lead carried beautiful and amazing also Fl was great too her character development was great but some things were dragged on like the male leads not seeing each other for four whole episodes like what- the barbaian general and Ml relationship was so cute also this was a less toxic drama with the super super bad misunderstandings that leads have and then the evil second leads. Now I think the gay dude was a lil odd and it was his brother too/ that was just weird af I didn’t get that. Overall good story I will only recommend this if u want to know how a man should love you and if he wants to he will!

So season 1 was amazing ngl the first two episodes r boring which definitely altered a rating since every episode should be good but after the first episodes season 1 was a master peace. Sure the CGI was a lil odd but in general it was so cool how they caught the monsters! NOW SEASON 2 made me super mad. Song kang was barely in it and when he was it looked like he would rather be filming for his other show my demon. He was filming for that show as well. He didn’t seem in his role and since he had to be perfect looking for my demon it was more obvious it looked like a k pop artist covered in mud. He also wore a wig where as in his first season he was so in character and grew out his hair but in this the wig was obvious. Season 2 was all about military and it was annoying how they dropped all season 1 characters. Now I have a feeling season 3 will be better that’s why I kept watching. The whole mom and monster daughter was dumb and military was dumb and song kang was DISSAPPOINTJNG. Now it wasn’t terrible like overall good but it just didn’t live up to season 1.

I have a lot to say and this review will help u decide if u wanna watch this show or just things u have missed if u watched it. This show I could not give a total 5 it was a master piece but at the same time it wasn’t. It was one of those shows that’s bad but at the same time so good. I felt like romance was lacking a little bit but the show was all about going in time to get revenge but the plot sounds worse than how the show actually was like. The revenge was amazing now a lot of ppl compare the show to the webtoon and in that standard the show does not live up the expectation that’s another reason why I can’t give it a 5. The FL is supposed to be more aggressive but she’s still weak even during her revenge era. Romance is added within revenge and they show a good amount but I felt like the romance script wasn’t written as well as we wanted. There was a point when it got stupid like would I watch it again no and would I have chosen to watch it if I knew well maybe. The edits on TikTok made it seem better and everyone was freaking out over it but it was just okay tbh. The evil mom was a great actress but the script and the writing of the show was MID. Also the ML is loosing his looks so if ur a fan this might be the last time to see him in a romance drama. Anyway I kinda recommend it’s good but bad.

HOLY S*** WHAT DID I JUST WITNESS! Okay hear me out. In the fist episode I was like this sucks and didn’t like it and thought it was boring. SO PLZ IF UR ON THE FIRST EPISODE PLZ KEEP WATCHING. Luckily I went to reviews and read how good it was so I watched a couple for episodes and fell in love. It is beyond scary it’s horrifying this is scarier then any American horror movie in many ways AND ITS JUST A KOREAN THRILLER. So I don’t even wanna watch there horrors. There were some funny parts and in the beginning it was light hearted I was like no this is not scary. IT BUILDS UP IN SUCH A WAY THAT IS VERY HARD TO DO. Also all the scenes were entertaining. And there were some great plot twists. It was a roller coaster of emotions bc I couldn’t rlly find out who the main character was. But everyone betrayed everyone and the one woman who I thought would betray ppl was extremely loyal and I am devastated on what happens to her bc she was my favorite character. And I was excited for each and every game by wanting to know what the game is. Usually I’m like oh I know who will win it will be obviously the main characters but NO they made you feel like you honestly don’t know who will win. Especially when two main characters have to fight against each other. I JUST LOVED IT. Usually I want k dramas with romance but THIS IS WAU BETTER. Plz watch and if you want other amazing recommendations sweet home is another very intense one.

So far there’s not been to many episodes so I can’t rate it the best but it was really good. But they did something that made me kinda mad! My favorite show Sweet Home they copied that show. Sweet home was basically about the same thing but more in depth and the animation if it was insane. Although they really tried to make it seem like they weren’t it just came out. And right anyone can make a movie about an apoloclipse it’s not copying but this was copy right. They should’ve at least gave credit. If you watch sweet home you’ll understand what I’m talking about and how they even copy the apartment building.

READ THIS ASAP! It’s a great review to read if you haven’t seen the show or if you have and are confused. Firstly, I was scared to watch bc the ML was in AOL and was a physco and I didn’t know if I could see him any differently. He surpised me sm and was super hot and sexy and gave ml vibes. The fl I never rlly saw before and she was amazing and made me a mad a lot but was great. The other supporting characters were super great Le Binchang I hated until the last 10 episodes and I was very mad that the fox and general didn’t rlly return that made me livid. Everyone else stayed on and it was great. There were some dragged out parts I won’t lie but this is one of the few historical long c dramas I watched till the end and it’s very captivating. Now a trigger warning it’s extremley emotional it’s not as triggering as ashes of love but it’s very close and heart breaking. Like I was crying every episode. It was just sad and if u don’t watch carefully u will be confused and some of the CGI is bad and wayyy to much blood spitting. So those r the negatives but it’s no reason not to watch it’s incredible. Like actually I have no regrets watching I watched on viki and the comments r so weird ppl r 😂💀. When u read the comments no one knows ppl r like they had 2 weddings they had 4 so if ur looking for a light weight drama that’s easy to understand and u can skip and episode and be fine this isn’t for u. I actually suffered mental health problems when the show finished so 😭. Anyway good drama omg

!!!!PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW IT WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING BEFORE OR AFTER WATCHING THE SHOW!!!!!Alright so lemme get started! :) First of all this was the first show I’ve ever seen this FL in and she blew me away. I know of another popular show she’s in something like the great god guardian or something with a ML that I love. And the male lead I love so much he holds a special place in my heart as he was in the first Asian drama I ever saw MY HOLO LOVE. That one show got me into c drama and into the world of rakuten viki and after my holo love I never saw him again until TRUE TO LOVE. So I had to watch. Now I must say he was a lot cuter in my holo love I wish they made his hair curly or something idk but they did him dirty. Deborah was stunning abseloutly stunning and I feel like that was not emphasized enough. In most shows it’ll show other ppl checking the FL OR ML out but they didn’t really empathize looks too much unless it was between the characters. That is why this was one of the most realistic dramas I’ve ever seen. The emotions and everything was incredible. Did it deserve 5 stars probobaly not but I liked it so much for me that I had to. Let me tell you why. Firstly when watching a show 14 episodes 1 hour plus for each I’d expect the game playing and jealous ex to go on tops 10 or 11th MAYBE 12th episode. Sometimes if it’s the target the 13th and leave the 14th episode for showing the relationship. I was very disappointed when they finally get together in the last 5 minutes of the last episode. In the beginning if the last episode they were in a fight and weren’t even dating. Now most people would not watch it after hearing that BUT WAIT they did kiss earlier episodes and acted like in a relationship for most so it’s fine ig…. But something that was very uncomfortable and unnecessary to add was the little sister getting pregenet that was just weird and idk it just did not match the plot. Like I wanted to see more if the leads and thought oh god now Deborah might not be with him bc her sisters with child. But no one made a big fuss and that part was just weird idk. The best friend IS AMAZING she was in shooting stars alchemy of soul I’ve seen her a lot and. She’s rlly putting herself out there I love that but her relationship was odd but pretty realistic. The whole show is realistic if u wanna see a fake srama watch sum else. It does not have the game playing or mis communication that most dramas have but instead the game playing and mis communication that happens in reality. Even through all the weird parts of the drama and a breakup that took her 8 episodes to get over it did not feel extended bc there was a deeper meaning to everything. Each episode had a title and the meaning we get to at the end is true to love 😂. At first I didn’t understand like ur true to love? But then I put it together true love but putting the to in front. You must be true to yourself in order to love someone else.

2 seasons watched them all side by side fresh in my mind. Now we start off with three friends you think they would be at the end together like most shows but no bc this isn’t like most shows. They die early on when the show made it SEEM like they were main characters and another girl joined for the first game they played and I genuinely thought they would be a team. I was sad but if they didn’t die he wouldn’t have met his team. Second I wasn’t in love with FL and ML Arisu and usagi which made it hard bc I always like the leads. Nothing against them but Usagi was super dramatic and had a mom walk and looked like a Karen. The wigs weren’t wigging in this show literally everyone was wearing wigs. The ppl who made the show was Chishiya my fav he just is amazing. I couldn’t tell if he’s smart or dumb I just always feel like he has a plan but sometimes he don’t but he’s so cool I can’t. I loved Kuina she’s great. She had a stick in her mouth season 1 and I didn’t know why now I do and she’s just amazing. Next NIRAGI all I gotta say is someone needs to cut his toungue off. Now the beach in season 1 rlly made it the ppl there were so cool I liked that place lots of tea and Ann a main person there is just so chill and smart. And then AGUNI the 7 foot man I saw at the second game as a viewer. Super strong great guy took many bullets which the wimpy skinny ML should’ve taken. Now the hottes girl on the show hands down was the teen girl who joined season 2. She slayed. And u might think ong so overwhelming with all the new characters but it’s rlly not the way they introduce them it’s just not. I did like this show the games were intense now season 1 isn’t boring but it’s more or less introducing human natures and lots of killing where as season two is even more killing and showing was the games are truly about. WARNING before watching season 2 episode 8 literally prepare ur self. Ppl say Mira was behind it but I think she was a spek and I new she was bc I looked at who wasn’t there season one episode 8 for the 10 hearts game and she wasn’t. There were leaders in the beach and she was one of them pretending to be a game player. Where as Ann was actually a leader. Now I def recommend I think it’s not gonna be for everybody but I definitely recommend. Now the ending in season 2 the fact that they forgot each other. Low key made it seem like everything was for nothing. And episode 8 was just like I was questioning my whole existence. I don’t wanna be mean tho I did like Arisu but he just needs to clean himself. Oh yeah trigger warning they wear the same outfit the whole show. And Kuina where’s these uncomfortable jeans while fighting in the heat like ong. The same outfit the whole show I literally couldn’t- and they never cleaned themself. Also Arisu looks the exact same as the ML from sweet home. Sorry I’m jumping around. Now ppl wonder is this better than squid game bc there both similar. I can’t answer that it’s just different. In some aspects better in some not. Squid game is less painful than this bc they had a choice these ppl did not. It was so sad and many deaths. Some things are unrealistic like how did all those common ppl survive the hard games and made it onto the next stage and what about visa in season 2 how did they keep track. In this show u can’t question anything or it’ll drive u mad. Now the acting was phenomenal. Just great. But idk how everyone’s wigs stayed on the whole time they did Chishiya dirty with that hair wig. I could see the lines.

I gave this 3 stars. I made sure to watch the whole thing which was basically a waste of time but I wanted to give it a fair review. TIK TOK kept making edits and it looked stupid but I got so intrigued by all the edits that I said screw it lets watch. Well I was very disappointed. Now I didn't know much about the original Adams family I've seen some cartoons when I was younger but I know the major Adam family fans are super disappointed. Firstly the family is horrible and does not match the original cast which I know little about BUT ENOUGH TO KNOW THEY SHOUDLNT BE THE PARENTS. Second I love Jenna and she's the only reason for me giving this an extra star but she's capable of so much more. Quite lousy acting reminded me of nickelodeon but a way to scary and weird version of Adams family when Adams family is low key comedy. The plot is stupid with the hyve or whatever the monsters called. Tyler was obvious and the characters were stupid. It has okay story in all and I liked the cringeyness ig. IT Wasn't bad but not good and I think the cast was just wrong there was no connection. Also knowing type was gay in rl from the start of watching threw me off. Pretty bad experience don't listen to tik Tok.
