Summer Strike (2022) - it’s been quite long since I watched a “slice of life” drama and I enjoyed it. This drama reminds me of High School Love On, but this time on a mature note. I love the characters especially the supporting ones because I don’t know most of them or watched them once maybe on other dramas. It felt so realistic seeing them. I think this drama felt like a reminder to me as a person that I am enough. I cried alongside the main character Yeo Reum whom I really admire while I am watching. The characters in the drama are all so kind that it made me believe in humanity in general. It stays true to the drama’s title as well which I really like. My type of drama. Must Watch.

It did feel a bit of waste potential for the actors in the drama but it was just a short drama with lifelong lessons you could bring. I can say that it is fulfilling, but it's pretty harsh and I was scared. The ending felt a bit rushed but I like it. It means that second chances can happen. The actors are no doubt veterans already in the korean drama world and I have so much respect for them all. The song especially in the ending credits is heartwarming as well.

I would not rewatch this because I find it gruesome. Overall a great watch, I would recommend this to those who like thriller, crime dramas.

I don't know how to describe the entirety of this drama because I watch this one ongoing. I really like this drama and the storyline of arrange marriages is one of my favorite theme in drama land so that's an added point. The process of watching the drama was enjoyable for me as a watcher. I find the leads having the chemistry, the side characters with their cute side stories as well as the family life of the leads. The acting was great for me, but I could really see that the others need more improvement but I'm not complaining cause it's tolerable.
I guess I was just not that excited with watching the last 2 episodes, because I lost my interest in it, which I don't know the reason behind. The ending felt like a rush but honestly I like the ending. I thought it was appropriate for the drama. I would recommend this for sure.

Clean with Passion for Now (2018) - if you came from heartbreaking dramas, I would think that you would feel the same way as I did in this drama. I was literally laughing out loud with this drama, and I've realize that this type of drama is what I was watching before. Though I'm not a fan of RomCom nowadays, I'm still happy I've seen this in between my other serious dramas. I felt like this drama balanced out my emotions. Seeing Yoon Kyun Sang in a RomCom, it felt amazing to me since I felt scared with his other roles he acted in other dramas. It is my first romcom drama from him that I have seen. I totally agree that Song Jae Rim was not utilized as much in this drama, I mean his role is nice but I think it fell short to what he can do or what the character has to show. I still enjoyed the drama, I would recommend this to those who like Romantic Comedy genre.

Class of Lies (2019) - the first parts of the series is really good for me. I was captivated although it is school themed or took place in the school area which I usually am not a fan of. The reason maybe is because it's not romance but thriller, crime genre. As it goes by per episode the happenings gets over the top that it's unrealistic. I find the acting of the young actors and actresses in the drama lacking, the one that really stood out for me was just Beom Jin. I could see some future projects for the one that acted Yeri's character but the others need more acting workshop. I did not like the ending at all, it wasn’t a good closure for a supposed to be thrilling kdrama. I felt regret for what happened in between the drama that they just end it like that. I’m not looking forward with a second season.

Circle (2017) - still one of the best 2017 drama I have watched. A lot has happened and it was greatly laid out and portrayed by the actors and actresses in the drama. Different twists and turns that I was not really expecting making the drama much more interesting to me. I was just amazed, though I did not fully understand everything because of the pacing between the "future" scenes and present scenes. aand daghan nangyari jud na bongga ang pa twist and turns no, wa ko kasagang. I would always recommend this drama. Another plus point - Gikwang is here (*to those who fancies him, just like me)!

Cinderella and Four Knights (2016) - I like most of the characters in the drama but the storyline is just really meh for me. It's too usual, there is nothing new that I felt bad for the characters and the actors playing them. All I could remember is how I used to complain about this drama.

The acting is great for me. Both leads especially have been good actors and I have seen them in other dramas so no complain to that. The title is misleading for me since there were no 4 knights that was what I was expecting.

The music is not memorable.

I would not rewatch. I would not recommend this to others as well.

Chocolate (2019) - Every episode is a heartache. This drama may seem boring to others because of the vibes it gives but not me, I like this type of dramas. For a melodrama, it’s fast paced and I was not really expecting it, so one episode per day is what I do to balance out my emotions. There is a lot going on in this drama having introduced characters in the hospice is a great addition to what the drama is all about. A lot happened and I am glad that I did not binge watch the drama. A heartwarming drama that reminds death can be painful but the memories left will help those who remained get by through life, I also realized how short-lived life is.

Love Rain (2012) - all I can remember of this drama is that I was watching it late at night while trying not to sleep because I just want to finish it. The story was pure romance and about love and maybe at that time I was not really into romance that is why I didn’t really appreciate the drama. I was on the verge of not watching it, but my friends encourage me to finish it since I already started. The story was really dragging and sad and mostly I didn’t remember much of the scenes of the present scenes (*in the drama) but I remembered the past scenes much clearer.

King of Dramas (2012) - the drama itself is a refreshing topic for me, seeing the behind the scenes in how to make a drama. I was amaze and it was interesting to me, and see how meticulous it is to form a drama. Though there are a lot of quite unbelievable parts, especially on the conflicts part, I must say they put the extreme problems that a drama could encounter. Main leads are a hit, good acting, great characters as well. Siwon shined in this drama for me as well, I know it is his usual roles but I like this role of his. I find the ending or latter parts boring especially at first it was really appealing to me as a watcher. Still, it was a nice overall.

The Strongest K-Pop Survival/K-Pop The Ultimate Audition (2012) - other than the two main leads, and the 'old' actors in the drama, I felt like the others are lacking in terms of acting. The story itself is not original, I could see a Hana Kimi-Dream High in one. Dealing with kpop and their dream, the target audience is with teens and at that time while watching this, I was young so I did enjoy watching this. I did feel the chemistry between the two main leads and felt their chemistry. I was just sad that this drama ended in a rush, 14 episodes in total. They should have extended this one. The ending was disappointing.

The Moon Embracing The Sun (2012) - one of the hit dramas that I don't really feel anything towards. Maybe because at that time that I was watching this, I was still not into historical dramas. I think it is because I wasn’t totally engage with it, and did not really understand what it was all about. More likely the focus is the curses, and though it is a love story I didn't feel the romance. I don’t have the urge to watch it again, so I believe individual’s perspective is what matters because I found other people within my Korean drama community that liked this drama.

Fashion King (2012) - this truly has a lot of potential for me, especially at the start. The characters are quite different comparing to the other dramas I have watched and seeing Yuri’s very first drama is also a plus. What makes this drama interesting for me at the start is that both leads are struggling, no "chaebol" or rich between them, which is typical in other dramas. Also, the male main lead Young Gul played by Yoo Ah In is so different, I can't understand his attitude and the leads are not the usual nice with a good personality leads. Both male leads are really great in their respective roles, the acting is great. The female leads I don't have anything against, it terms of acting. The drama just didn’t turn out great, and the ending sucks, I mean, what happened? I find the drama stressful in the long run, the sense of the drama became lost especially on the fashion aspect which was suppose to be what I expected because of the title. I was just sad since the acting is there, I hope they tried to fix the story or writing. Not recommended.
