"Blue Eye Samurai" is a visually stunning animated series that captivates with its intense and intricate art style. However, it's important to note that this is not an anime in terms of story, plot, or dialogue, iit feels western. It's Netflix, therefore there is an agenda. While the series earns a solid 5 for its art and intensity, it ultimately falls short in delivering a satisfying narrative. Mizu's reasonings remain unclear throughout much of the series, and when they are finally revealed, they fail to make a significant impact. Additionally, the series is x rated, which may not be suitable for everyone. Despite these shortcomings, I enjoyed the series, but was not satisfied with the character endings. None of the character arcs felt fully resolved, leaving a sense of incompleteness. Ignoring the agenda behind it, "Blue Eye Samurai" remains an interesting watch, but it might leave some viewers wanting more in terms of character development and closure.

I am a "few" years too late. Boys over Flowers is not my first kdrama, but it was definitely the most frustrating to watch! I gave it a 4 because I actually finished it. In my opinion and without posting any spoilers, it really should have ended at episode 12 or at least wrapped it up. But...female oppression anyone? I watched it because I liked Min-Ho in the King. 😅

So much chatter... so much back and forth.. and so many silly missed opportunities. I thought this would be like Goblin.. except it wasn't. I stuck around because I enjoy shows that depict reincarnation. I had to see how they were going to wrap it up, but no way did they need 16 episodes. I fast forwarded through episode 12 to 16. 🤷‍♀️

What "in the earth" was this....

Loved the concept and I appreciate that there was a conclusion. Could it have ended another way, perhaps. Traumatising with some parts, but as time goes on, they somehow become insignificant.

I could tell right away what the plot was and kind of predicted the ending - but nonethess, I like Kevin Bacon and the suspense was good! (Does this house exist in Wales btw?)

Lee Seung Gi is something else here. I liked him in Vagabond which I had watched first, but to see his romantic side in this Kdrama was special. I took all the clumsiness and stupid decisions with a pinch of salt, but I cannot get over being disappointed by what was supposed to be a great final battle. Overall, I am glad I watched it. If you enjoyed this, you will enjoy Goblin and Tale of the Nine Tailed.

Well, this was not what I expected at all. I shouldn't have been putting off watching it! I watched it in Korean, with English subtitles. I am sure that makes a difference. But then again, I watch all Korean shows in their language.

So, I know people with far more complicated family trees. Anyway, my dad made me watch this, so it gets a star for the quality time it gave me with me dad. And another star for season 1. It should have just stopped there. I would have been okay with an open ending....

Watching it was completely a coincidence. But wow, it's fast paced which is awesome, and keeps you on your toes till the end! Loved both parts!(on Netflix)
