In Short: An expertly produced drama with a heart, and the lead couple to challenge all lead couples.
Pros: Super-compatible leading couple, good pacing.
Cons: The second female lead got on my nerves

In Short: Great plotting, casting and pacing. I felt entertained and emotionally invested from start to end.
Pros: Well casted and truly thrilling.
Cons: Some details may have been glossed over a bit too neatly (drug money?) and the ending should have provided us with a sequel already.

My Rating: 7.5
In Short: A great cast which made this a very watchable show, though not as suspenseful or funny as it could have been given the great comedic potential of our leads.
Pros: Not the silliest portrayal of police work I have ever seen, and the cast definitely sold it to create a high level of cute.
Cons: Disappointingly one-dimensional villains, and some plot holes that I couldn't quite get my head around. The fun premise and great cast could have been taken better advantage of.

In Short: Epic and well directed. The lead paring oozes chemistry, and the time travelling does set rules clearly (only to slightly go haywire with the final resolution). The emotional aspect of the final resolution is perfect, though.
Pros: A wonderful lead romance. Boong do is one of my favourite characters. And the “dim-witted” heroine wasn’t really that dim-witted compared to other similar k-drama heroines. Well directed.
Cons: Deus Ex Machina, some confusing narrative during time leaping, and why did they never talk about Boong do’s dead wife?

In Short: Funny and full of heart, and only the styling makes it feel slightly dated. Could have done with a male lead that I would actually want our heroine to end up with, though.
Pros: Fun leading lady with sass. Pastry Porn.
Cons: Male lead is sort of a douche, and does not seem likely to change. The second female lead was horrible and annoying. You can’t be a good person BECAUSE you got cancer.

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho
A 2 usuarios les ha parecido útil esta reseña
In Short: Rom-com perfection, with great chemistry and truly adorable characters to boot. I’m still a bit upset about the deux ex machina ending, though.
Pros: Pure fun, and the sweetest heroine in recent memory. Someone give that girl a steak. Hilariously immature male lead.
Cons: Tedious female second lead, overuse of soundtrack (especially when asymmetric hair is in view).

In Short: Racy for a k-drama, in an honest way. I did not much enjoy the aegyo female lead though, and hated the ending, which did nothing for the morals of the story. I feel bad for the second lead, he was cute. Had a bit of second lead syndrome in this one.
Pros: Racy in a good way, which sets it apart from other k-dramas (which are not racy at all). I also love that the main characters have friends. Real people have friends.
Cons: Still mad about the ending, which set us back to square one. Characters could have been a bit less similar to Sex and the City characters.

In Short: A cute rom-com which makes time fly by. Some things were amiss, but i thoroughly enjoyed myself. Would have chosen master, he can cook.
Pros: The episodic format makes time fly, and I liked the couples. Sooyoung was surprisingly refreshing as the idealistic female lead.
Cons: Why would you not choose the guy you call “master”? Also, a kidnapping plot with bombs? In a super breezy rom-com? Really?!

In Short: Super cute and insightful. Dragged a little towards the end, but it was all worth it for these two sweeties. I will never forget that panda hat. The rest of the neighbours were great as well.
Pros: Enrique is like the male Gu Mi Ho. Honest, adorable and always means well. The premise is great, and I do like the heroine.
Cons: The plot dragged a little towards the end, with no real conflict. Could have been 12 great episodes.

In Short: A great start to the Oh Boy! franchise, and a wholly satisfying and fun drama. Really went for that constipation metaphor. I wonder if maybe people shouldn't eat too much ramyun.
Pros: Sweet and funny, cheeky romance and great side characters.
Cons: I don’t really buy that Jung Il Woo is in high school here, despite the blatant immaturity of the character. Might be for the best. Avoids the creepiness of an adult woman ACTUALLY dating a high school student.

Shut Up: Flower Boy Band
A 1 usuarios les ha parecido útil esta reseña
In Short: A personal favourite, this drama took my heart. An honest tale about growing up, set to great music. Everything in the drama seemed well thought out, and we even got a sweet romance with a side of epic bromances.
Pros: Bromance of the epic variety, with tickle fights and everything. Deep and heartfelt, this drama really captures what being young feels like. The music was great.
Cons: The title is the only bad thing about this drama, I don’t really see the point of calling this band a flower boy band.

In Short: A fabulous melodrama about people who are horrible to each other. Soong Joong ki is great. A bit too much amnesia for my taste. I wanted Eun Gi to be restored to her former glory, but she never actually did.
Pros: Song Joong Ki is wonderful, and portrays our anti-hero well. Great melodrama.
Cons: Enough amnesia to power dramaland for centuries.

In Short: Unrealistic plot, and a slightly unrealistic courtship. Though cute, the plot and characters get repetitive.
Pros: Fun and lighthearted, hilariously dated fashion choices for Rain’s character
Cons: Low on logic, repetitive, incompatible leads, bad music (though quite hilariously repetitive)

Drama Special Series Season 1: White Christmas

In Short: A drama special of eight episodes that knows where it is going from the very start. Great cast of young actors and eerie vibe that pays of.
Pros: Beautifully filmed and a great mystery set to interesting characters.
Cons: South Korea apparently has the worst police force ever.

In Short: Our six main characters make a great group of misfits. Dream High is fun and cute throughout, with excellent payoff. Pil Sook and Jason makes for a great second coupling. They are super adorable.
Pros: Great characters and great payoff. A good sense of humor regarding the idol’s limited acting was well appreciated. Highly satisfying ending.
Cons: IU’s fat suit was insulting and horrible. Thankfully, the message was good in the end.
