    Was a little annoying. Didn't enjoy the silly rivalry between the male leads at first. Gets better from episode 9. More serious and more focused on cases and mystery so I'm starting to enjoy it. Second half was good but the ending felt unbelievable.

    Remake of the Korean movie. It's nice but I felt the Korean version was superior. Also, since I knew the story, it didn't have the same impact. Still glad I watched it.

    Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    7.0

    March 31st

    First 6 episodes were quite face paced and interesting but the last 4 slowed down considerably. Since the show is about serial killers, expect blood and gore.

  • Joseon Lawyer

    32. Joseon Lawyer

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    8.5

    March 31st 

    A bit slow at times but looking forward to the way the law cases are handled. Picks up from the 3rd episode and gets more and more interesting as the story progresses. Not much romance if that's what attracts you.

    9.5

    April 6th

    Fast paced, intriguing plot, great CGI. Even though the plot is quite complex and it takes a while to fully grasp the new world introduced, it keeps you engrossed completely. The editing towards the end, rushed an episode but it's still worth the watch.

  • Family

    38. Family

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    May 9th

    Cute but actually got me emotional is several points. Not like the usual wuxia where people of the sects are portrayed as good irrespective of their actions. Shows you the evil of people who claim to be acting under the guise of the greater good. Slow midway. Picks up after a few episodes. Good last 10 episodes. Emotional too but ending could have been better. Leaves you wanting a bit more.

    Intriguing after watching the first 4 episodes. It's good but not outstanding as of now. A lot of annoying characters because they are just not as smart as the bad guys. Pretty frustrating to watch. Disappointed.

    Good first two episodes. Picks up from the first season's serial arsonist story so it's good to recap a bit of the first season. Went all over the place in between however ep 6 - 8 were enjoyable. Season 1 was better. Wasn't as excited watching this season.
