87. Alchemy of Souls

This show was on my list as soon as it started airing as it is my favourite genre: fantasy. I waited for it to finish airing both parts which is why I got to it so late.

I was expecting this to be good but not to grow so attached to all the characters.

I loved this show, it has everything: comedy, romance, action, and just the right amount of it all. I understand why it's so popular.

I don't want to give any spoilers (if there is anyone who hasn't watched it yet) so I will keep it vague.

I loved the main concept of this show, most of it was explained well, some parts a little confusing, especially in part 2 but it's fantasy, not science so I was satisfied with the explanations we got.

There are many many characters and by the end of 30 episodes there are characters you are rooting for and characters you want to see dead 😅 so I liked that we got to see a conclusive ending. I wouldn't have said no to more episodes because I wanted to see more of my favourites.

Highly recommending this one!

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.

88. Black Knight

When I heard about the premise of this show I wasn't interested but since it was so short I decided to watch it.

I found this whole dystopian era to be very interesting, I had far more questions than we got answers to but I had enough information to follow the show. Even though the show has just 6 episodes I still managed to grow attached to certain characters.

The show was very fast paced, I wasn't bored for a minute and I really enjoyed it overall. I was satisfied with the ending so I'm hoping we don't get a second season.

(Am I the only person who doesn't want more seasons of shows I enjoyed? *ahem extraordinary attorney woo ahem* )

Watch this if you're looking for something to binge in a day and don't mind a show with zero romance.

84. The Glory

I started watching this show after knowing it was a revenge story based on someone's real life bullying experience but that still didn't prepare me for that first episode. It was really disturbing! I was a bit hesitant to watch another revenge show after watching Eve 🙄

I can't do this spoiler free so if you want to avoid spoilers skip to the end.

At first the show felt a little slow but then when it started speeding up it got SO good!! I absolutely loved that everyone she needed to get her revenge on was completely destroyed by the end and all without her getting her hands dirty 👏👏👏 It was incredible how they turned on each other with the slightest of nudges.

I was a bit puzzled about Yeo-jeong's involvement but it was explained in the final episode. My favourite character was the ajumma 😂

The only thing I didn't particularly like was the romance, I don't think the show needed it.

I am recommending this show if you like revenge dramas. This one is done so well. Bear in mind it may trigger people who have had similar experiences.
