Mobeomtaeksi (2021)
Justice has been served.
Currently 10 episodes in and I am absolutely in love with this show!
Who do you turn to when the systems that are set in place to protect you, are doing nothing or even worse, are a part of the injustice that you have to constantly face? Deluxe Taxi Service.
There's so much satisfaction in seeing horrible people, who abuse others for their own gain, getting punished. And punished not just by being sent to prison or some meaningless fine, but in an eye for an eye kind of way.
It also doesn't get stale, because every 2-3 episodes there's someone new that they are helping, while also having story development that lasts the entire show. It's all very nicely tied in.
If you are on the fence on whether to commit to this show or not, just check out the first two episodes which pretty much have a self-contained story and decide form there.
Superman & Lois (2021)
A promising start.
So far it has been incredible in all aspects, but I hope this show doesn't meet the notorious CW treatment - show goes for too many seasons, the story becomes boring and dull, the visual effects become worse.
Please let the show end when the writers have finished telling their story, no need to push them beyond that and make the quality decrease tremendously. Better to end on a high note than push for a few extra seasons and ruin the reputation the show has built.

Disappointing second season
While I wasn't fully captivated by the first season, it was still a nice watch and I enjoyed the relationship between Sun-oh and Kim-Jojo which was still developing before it ended abruptly.
At the end of season 1, Kim-Jojo ends the relationship without giving a reason as to why she did it and that became the cliffhanger, main question on everyones mind, that needed to be resolved in season 2 but it didn't.
I saw comments mentioning that in webtoon Kim-Jojo ends up with Hye-Yeong so I wasn't expecting Kim-Jojo getting back together with Sun-Oh, but the relationship between her and Hye-Yeong felt subpar and unnatural compared to the one with Sun-Oh. If we were given a reason to no longer root for Sun-Oh, then it would have been fine, but I can't simply jump to the next relationship when the first one still feels to be the most desired one.
It also felt like we were left with unresolved side plots concerning Kim-Jojo's relationship with her aunt, who by the looks of it treated her poorly ever since she became her guardian. In the end aunt began acting warmer towards Kim-Jojo but it was for a brief moment and thus didn't feel like a conclusion to that arc. Her annoying, selfish and petty cousin also didn't get to redeem herself or get what she deserved for her constant nagging, she instead got rewarded for it which is absolutely absurd. She always wanted to be a part of the badge club and was offered a chance if she got at least a 300 Love Alarm rings, which forced her to behave more nicely towards others in order to get them. I imagined that would develop her character by her finally realizing how troublesome she has been and that being nice to others in return makes people be nice to her.
I'm unaware how closely this show follows the webtoon, but it feels like they should have taken the story elsewhere and capitalized on what people enjoyed the most in season 1 - relationship between Kim-Jojo and Sun-Oh and friendship between Sun-Oh and Hye-Yeong.
Ultimately, the perfect ending to this story for me would have been Kim-Jojo getting back together with Sun-Oh, Sun-Oh rekindling his friendship with Hye-Yeong and Hye-Yeong finding himself a different girl. Aunt finally realizing that Kim-Jojo is not at fault for becoming a financial burden to her due Jojo's parents actions and behaving more nicely and understanding towards her, becoming a real mother figure. Cousin realizing that the reason she's not liked is due to her poor behavior and attitude towards others and through her journey of getting into the badge club, becoming a nicer person and apologizing about how she treated the Love Alarm's developer in high school and also Kim-Jojo.
All in all I have no complaints against the actors, they all did great, it's just the story that left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Couldn't stop watching!
What a captivating story filled with excellent acting and cinematography that made me, a 23 year old man, cry wholeheartedly many times both out of sadness and happiness.
I genuinely cannot nitpick even a single thing that could've been done better, I loved it all and was glued to the screen for the past few days.
Wayne (2019)
Loved it! Was there any marketing at all?
YouTube finally put the first episode of this show in my suggestion feed so I decided to check it out and oh boy was I in for a pleasant surprise! Bought YouTube premium and binged it in two days. From the very start you get hooked - the atmosphere, characters, script, everything.
Unfortunately, it got cancelled but hopefully the show runners will be able to find a new home for it.
Can't wait to see more.
The King (2019)
What an experience!
Absolutely loved it! I genuinely have no complaints about this movie. Definitely holds #1 spot of netflix original movies for me.
The Flash (2014)
Incredible at the start, mediocore at best later.
As many other reviews have mentioned already, the show started amazing with a great plot, complex characters and intriguing dialogue. However, the quality of the show has been going downhill ever since the start of season three.
This TV show was my first introduction to the character and quickly became my most liked one, but with every new episode, my attachment fades away more and more.
I truly hope they can turn this around, but the writers have to step up a ton in order for that to happen.
On My Block (2018)
Binge-worthy
Absolutely loved it and saw all 10 episodes in one sitting!
The chemistry between actors is spot on and while the plot as a whole is nothing too fancy (not that there's anything wrong with that), it has it's moments and plenty of dialogue which will make you chuckle.
On a side note: Netflix's suggestions suck, didn't know this show even existed nor did it ever appear on my Netflix Originals category. Thankfully I searched for "Best shows of 2018" on google and stumbled upon this.
