82. My roommate is a gumiho

I love fantasy so here I am. When I started this show the FL was super irritating, so much so that I wanted to quit. She was so over the top in her expressions, I didn't know if it was due to the actress or the character. But thankfully she mellowed out as the show goes on.

The first episode had so much happening so quickly, it was alot to take in but thereafter it got easier to follow.

After the FL toned down her craziness she actually became likeable, as did the ML, initially he was quite stiff which I now know was to show the change in his behaviour.

I loved the second lead couple, especially Jae-jin. He was so sweet 🥺 #boyfriendgoals

I didn't like that they kept trying to force a love triangle, I hate those.

I am recommending this show, just don't judge it by the first episode, it gets better.

"You try it first." "What?" "I'm not joking. I'm Alice in Wonderland right now. She eats weird pills and grows bigger and smaller and stuff. What if I eat this and die from poisoning or natural causes?" "Don't worry. You'll die from a beheading." "All right then. I'll enjoy the food."

85. Island

I'll be honest, I didn't know anything about this show but I chose to watch it after seeing images of Cha Eun-woo looking 🔥🔥🔥

The show started off well, with some mystery and I was fully invested. But by the end I was left feeling unsatisfied. I had so many questions that were not answered and it felt very rushed.

I loved the whole priest-taking-down-demons-with-cool-weapons thing but is this normal for all priests? Did he have special abilities? How did he get them? Maybe these were explained in the webtoon but I haven't read it.

I liked the back story of the trio, the child actors made me feel more than their adult counterparts so I really enjoyed the episode that focused on the past. I especially didn't like the romance, it felt out of place to me.

Overall it had a good story but it wasn't told in the best way...maybe the show needed more episodes 🤷

I'm not recommending this unless you LOVE fantasy and can look past a few shortcomings.

86. The Heavenly Idol

Again I made the mistake of watching a show just for one single actor. This time it was Kim Min-gue. I didn't know anything about the show apart from him being the ML.

In the first few minutes I was really sceptical about this show. I should have stopped right then 🙈

Firstly the whole concept was really weird but I love a good body swap storyline so I pushed forward. The first half focused on Rembrary pretending to be an idol and that was quite funny. I also liked his relationship with Dal. They are super cute. The grip reaper guy had his moments too.

I hated everything else about this show. What was this other world? I just feel it wasn't explained well or I just slept through the explanation? Was this a cult? A religion? I don't even know. I was waiting to get an explanation where everything clicks together in the final episode and it never happened. I was just left feeling frustrated because I wasted my time watching these 12 episodes. And they threw in some twists in the final episode to confuse me even further.

In case you haven't figured it out, I'm not recommending this show.
