Definetly unique from the usual C-dramas
I realised Man with a career and Women with passion are super sexy .This drama is mostly about the business world out there, this revolved around companies and investments, how the market works and how is the market competition like. This is 60% business and 40% romance.
I Love watching dramas where leads are 2 grown up mature individuals who have their own career to focus on, this mixed with inspiration and growth is totally my cup of tea.
I saw many dramas where leads go through diffult times and BOOM , without focusing much on their struggle and growth they achieve success, i am telling you this series explained the struggle and cruelty of enterprenuership in much detail without compromising on the romance .
Oh gosh the leads chemistry was LITTTTT!!! . I absolutely loved how they wrote their characters. Xu Si this man is a perfect portrayal of an investor and loved watching him though i was kinda annoyed by his choices and overpowering behavior.
Now lets talk about our inspiring and bold female lead Jiang Hu, she is a character that we can look up to. Tough initially we saw how broken and dejected she felt, she picked herself up, banged on every possible door looking for opportunity and did her best to stand on her own feet again and proved that no matter where talent goes it will standout.
Loved the leads together, though i was kinda annoyed by Xusi in the ending few episodes and the situations around JianHu , there was no single episode that disappointed me . Oversall this is satisfying and worth a watch
Things i dint like -
--> The abrupt and unnecessary cuts
-->ZhaoYang and YangJian's relationship, i have my own prejudice against them and no possible reasoning can convince me to change my opinion on them
Points worth mentioning -
--> How they designed Gao Yi's character and his story , was satisfying
--> If you are here for Zhe Ming especially someone like me who watched him as ML and liked his dramas , dont expect much screentime here as mentioned in casting list he has a support role
--> The osts are worth listening to, just concentrate on the lyrics they are just lovely and inspiring.
It is definetly not the place/ company you are in that matters, its your attitude and confidence that will make you shine. - BY ME?

Musical like drama
It's my first time watching a K-drama that involves so many musical acts, i somehow felt like I was watching a Disney princess movie throughout this series.This basically concentrates more on the female leads life journey, having to face harsh realities of life at an younger age, having no adults around to support her and if magic enters her life? BOOM!!! All miseries out of her life, Sounds fun right? Watching first half even I felt that the same. But NO! The second half concentrated more on the magician(ji Chang wook) and Na II deung's life's story. I some how felt a little similarity between the 2 male leads characterizations. The latter seemed younger version of former (Wound'nt go much deeper analysing it here ,may endup spoiling).
This drama did take me by surprise be it the musical acts (Damn! Focus on the lyrics ,seemed like they were talking to each other through music) or the vague ending . Because it is just 6 episodes and the actors are just amazing, I'll say it's watch worthy.
Started this just because of ji Chang wook but ended up falling for the female leads actings, Oh God!!! the look in her eyes explains her misery. Every actor in this drama truly portrayed their character's personality through acting which got me involved more into the story, absolutely loved the actors
Alert!! Zero romance and yeah the ending was quite confusing to me . Story kept jumping from one thing to the other.plot was quite plain with no wow factors involved
Personal opinion :P lol :- Do you believe in magic?
During our low times, if it is something that makes you believe in miracle even for a moment then, why not? -_<
Funny fact:- As ji chang wook is part of it I thought episodes will be released weekly and started off with the latest episode released and 50 minutes into it realised something was off .Turned out I was watching episode 6 throughout. AAAAHHHHH! Erase everything you saw and let's start afresh. EP-1 let's go!!! Was what I though to myself.
Yeah the first episode I watched was the last episode of this drama. SILLY ME!!!!!

An average story with outstanding actors
Vigilante - a person who tries in an inofficial way to punish a criminal.A very apt title to the story line. Here we get to see vigour of a young cop who is determined to punish criminals not by using law but by his own will. I absolutely enjoyed watching Nam Joo Hyuk as JiYoung, he perfectly expressed the angst and wrath hidden in JY. Must say i am more impressed by the actors than the story.
The story was just average to me as we already know who the vigilante was and expected kindof satisfying ending . No major twists in the plot and it just keeps flowing like a river with no barriers.
There are better thriller and investigation dramas out there but this stands out in terms of acting. I really like NJH, JiTae and JoonHyuk so whoever likes watching them can give this a try , like its just 8 episodes and definetly would not feel like a wate of time.
What i loved about this series is that they did not leave us on an edge cliffer hanging, loved how they ended it perfectly rather than dragging it to next season (if any)
What they failed to portray, we clearly know jiyoung has faced injustice in the past and has lost complete faith on the law and govt yey whay made him want to be a cop who abides by law ?

Showed us the darkest sides of humans and monsters
This season creeped me out !! It was way more scary with improved CGI and violence. This made me think are monsters more scary or humans fighting for survival.I am not really a fan of series with multiple seasons as i forget what happened in the previous one, same thing happened to me here as well, had to go back for season 1 highlights for character and plot refresher.
This season was about the survivors of season 1 with additional surviors from different places , saw few characters come and go. So i kinda didnot feel very connected to the new characters and the old ones didnot make much progress . Every scene and every episode didnot impress me. The fresh plot which started after first half of the series was intriguing and the last episode was such a BANG ON!! Now i am waiting for season 3 just because of this.
Though this storyline failed to impress me as much as season 1, this too had its own assets. CGI was just amazing, humans were much scarier than monsters. I am a little disappointed as i didnot get to see more of the people i expected to see but instead that got taken over by new cast and plot . The actors were just Amazing!!! Like how did they even manage to bringout such amazing acting despite the cruel makeup and dark sets!! Were they not drained out after the shoot? The little intro and twist they had in the plot caught my attention and kept me going.
I was way too immersed into it that for a second i lifted my head and found myself out of the screen and thought. Ok, this is real world, that is just fiction, dont worry , You are SAFE , you wont turn into monster.
Warning : this has lot of disturbuing and violent scenes.

This is more than what it seems like
Little did i expect to watch a bl series and on top of that ,it being high school themed ? But but but i am glad that i came across this and managed to watch it till the end.Would'nt deny that i felt like giving this up at times when it got a little draggy and boring but my curiousity kicked in to just check how the relation between Eiw and Cake would turn out to be.
The second half of the series was surprisingly intriguing and undoubtedly the last 3 episodes were the highlight of the series (atleast for me). Well i personally like dramas which dont just focus on love track but life in general , this was just that!!
I absoutely loved the smooth transition between scenes from sweetest to heartbreaking scenes. It is not just about 2 childhood friends falling in love , there is a lot more to it. How Eiw and cake realized and accepted their feeling for each other , how being apart for years and distance could just emerge into longing for one another, And ofcourse the memorable and emotional ending Dint realise when tears started rolling out of my eyes and i ending up bawling
It has one of the cutest confession scenes i have ever witnessed .Get ready to make your hearts pound with all the fluffyness and dont forget to keep boxes of tissues handy cause this is gonna make your eyes dryout.
Special mention :- Of all the actors in this series Santa's (who plays cake) acting skills took me by surprise. Like how can someone his age portray this role with ease. This kid i must say stole all my attention whenever he was on screen.
If you just read the summary , see few posters and choose not to watch "My only 12 percent" , you might miss something worth experiencing.

The best dating variety show i have watced
I am a regular watcher of asian dating shows, my watchlist being korean- heart signal all seasons, i am solo, singls inferno, exchange, first love again , chain days, love catcher edge of friendship, skip dating, pink lie, between love and friendship, eden and even His man.I can surely tell that this season of HS is the best of all the dating shows i have seen so far. After watching the first few episodes i instantly knew this was different of them all. It felt like i was watching a drama and kinda felt like it was all scripted but nevermind kept going and it was worth the time spent.
The contestants are lovely and even the panelists are so damn good at reacting to the scenes. Especially Rainie and Jerry they were literally like my avatars , squeeling , cringing, crying, teasing, enjoying - all of this we did together, me behind the screen and them on screen.
This season panelists truely analysed the personalities which intrigued me more and had me going through out
And our love seekers i meant out participants were outstanding,
They showed us romance, bromance, friendship, selfgrowth and most of all moving on. They spoke about how their relations are gonna br outside the show , their past experiences, what they expect of their partner and muh more which showed how genuine they were (atleast i believe they were) Ofcourse the reason why i am super satisfied with this is because the couple for whom i was rooting for ended up together and are all lovey dovey now.
I learnt few things while watching it and ya i gave away my heart to brother Hou, he is cute, handsome, talented, brave and silly - full package
Tip- what i learnt from watching a hell lot of dating variety shows is -
1. Forget about thr participants once the last episode airs but remember the heart fluterring momengs they left behind.
2. Never ever try to know what happened to them after the show, are they still together? Were they real or fake? Are they still in touch? Did the final couple breakup? Did the non-couple make up?
The point is -Who cares ? You have your own life they have their own.
3. Move on and start searching for another show that can give you drama and heart flutters

I started it as it was a psychological thriller and after watching 2 episodes i knew i would take a breath only after finishing it.
Instead of blaming fate for the life Bae GyuRi(Female lead) is leading, she just tries to stay strong and is not afraid of doing anything to just make things in her life easier . JiSoo(Male Lead) is no different,in order to lead a decent life in the future he gets ready to do anything to earn quick money .After watching this drama i was really amazed to see how a person can change based on the situation he/she is in.It perfectly depicts the inner conflicts of humans(Should we do the right things? or do things right?)
This drama got me so indulged into it and literally i was hoping for an ending which would be favourable for both the leads.When i thought OK,now things are getting better for them but then came BOOM.... plot twist and then again i thought, it will get easier for them atleast NOW!!! and then another BOOM BOOM ending followed.Though i did not understand the behaviour of few characters at the end,I thoroughly enjoyed this drama.After completing it i was left with No Regrets,No Disappointment and No Thoughts.

When Passion meets Peace filled with warmth
Imagine spilling an ice cream we just bought. How heart breaking would it be? And what if a person who put her everthing into her career for years, made sacrifices and finally made it big but due to some unfortunate incident lost everything ? How will that person cope up? will she be able to get back on her feet?The first two episodes were mostly character introductions and their backstories. The sisters trio would be interesting to watch as each one of them have their own story and reputation in their village. YongPil's, though skilled in his profession why does'nt he want to leave his village ? This would be interesting to watch. The next two episodes showes us more of the leads bonding in the past and that they had a misunderstandinf whatever it was, lookinf forward to it
This is a rom-com. Yes, it indeed is!! the first four episode made me laugh my heart out. looking forward to the romance part.
The actors definitely wont let us down. Almost all the cast members are known faces in the industry .JCW and SHS combination is fresh and interesting. I havent seen such loud and choatic leads like them before. I am so glad to watch JCW in a light heart romcom again. Loved the OST- Short hair by our DK- His voice is so sweet and refreshing, perfectly fits the Jeju vibe.

Hands Down, this is the romance i need in my life
Never in my wildest dreams did i expect to rate a romance drama 10/10.This is love at first sight series where i loved everything about it from start till the end. I have always wanted to watch a series that gives warmth, butterflies, relationship goals and this gave me more than what i wanted.
LinYiyang and YinGao are super cute together and the story lines was smooth and love how they admired , respected and loved each other. This is a cutie patootie series where i can watch every episode again and again on loop.
Every character is this drama is so lovable and warm, didnot skip a single second and the OST's are soo good and swoon worthy. I just cant express how much i loved watching this. Xioa Dong, Jiang Yang and Wu Wei stole my heart. I have'nt found any drama that solely concentrates on the main leads, their story and their growth yet giving equal importance and development to every important character.
I can keep going on and on about this i dont think i will get over it in like a week . They are by far the sweetest, cutest and lovely couple i have ever watched.

A decent thriller that shows what greed does to people
I found it from out of no where , literally no buzz, no proper subs yet found it decent and enjoyed watching it.If you compare it to a book you read the first half and found it interesting , You turn the page and every character feels new and different in the second half . The story pace is quick and the plot twist's are new and refreshing.
It is basically about cookie addicts , family bonding and betrayal upon betrayal. The only strong bond i found in this is family bond the rest is all betrayal and greed.
The characters are twisted and dark , you can literally trust noooo one in the drama.
This is basically one of those dramas where they do something bad and unethical and blame it on the past traumas , helpless situation and greed to become rich. By in the end as one of the characters says " all of it is just an excuse".
In the end, do i hate any of them , definetly NO. Yet i cannot overlook the little yet obvious plot holes here. They show a person has full power and is invincible yet the next second they show the same person is vulnerable and weak.
Moral of the story :-
If you expose your weakness , vulture like humans will not think even a second to take advantage of it and greed can get you to do anything and ur mind will probably give you a concinving and reasonable answer to it.
I would say the hero here is ... not Soo Young... not Ho so, not seong pil, not minyoung BUT " The cookie"
If you are into mini thriller series who thinks little plotholes are bearable and enjoys excellent actor , you can give this a try. Every episode has something new at times dumb things for you.

Healer is an entire package of awesomeness,it has the best combination of genres i always look for(Action,suspense,Mystery,romance and handsome oppa :P).The concept of night courier is entirely new to me.The first few episodes really amazed me as this was my first time watching something like that.The plot was well developed and i was hooked to the drama to see more of the male leads handsomeness.
Ji Chang Wook oppa is definitely a scene-stealer for me(I ended up watching other dramas of his).Whenever he is on screen i always wondered about how great of an actor he is.He delivered each emotion perfectly.He was innocent,cute,sweet,hot,athletic,emotional,chic,naive and a complete heartthrob.The female lead has a strong personality.As episodes went by i started liking her more and more for all the braveness her character showed. Both of their chemistry is beyond this world.They were sweet together and whenever they were together,they gave away couple goals.They were just meant to meet.
Doesn't matter if you are new to dramas or have some experience in drama watching,Healer should definitely be added to your must watch list and you won't regret it after marking a tick against the completed box .About re-watching this drama,you will eventually do it after watching the lead couples cute and sweet moments together.
Healer opened up the world of dramas to me .Hence,it will forever occupy a special place in my heart.

Not very captivating as a mystery but the rest is worth a watch
I was very much impressed when i first saw this series, entered with no expectations and found it very cute and intriguing , enjoyed the first half of it but later with all the mystery scenes involved i felt they dragged it for a little too long so i was on the verge of dropping it ,but i am glad i dint . The ending 3 episodes were very well wrapped up .Expect for how long they dragged to reveal the mystery, i was surprised by killer's true identity. Would have loved it , had they focused on it a little more much and revealed it much sooner . So this part of the drama had a loop hole but again because of a very clean ending i had a good experience watching it.
The writer chose common concept of lead having a special ability, murder suspect, hidden identity but execution was quite novel and didnot have a cliche plot.
The leads were super cute together .Loved how things ended with Kang min and all the supporting characters were well played.
Like how every coin has two sides, this too had its own pros and cons. If you are up for some cuteness, clean ending series, happy romance and would'nt mind skipping few scenes/ episodes - Dont miss out on this.

With every episode-" DOWN" went my rating for this drama
You will enter the drama seeing NamJooHyuk and Suzy but in the exit falling for KimSeonHoBe it small or big all of us have dreams. Be it short-term or long-term all of us want to achieve them. But few are scared of starting and divert their path, few give up half way through , few remain stubborn and stick to them untill their dreams are realized. To convert thoughts into reality the actions taken towards it plays a significant role. So, our leads are also full of vigour to prove themselves by starting a "START-UP". Will they be stubborn and prosper or be swayed away by others opinions and lose , is what we should be looking forward to in this drama.
It is good to see that both the leads start from the same point in their careers its not like just any other drama where the Male lead is perfect and too good to be true. The characters are relatable "struggle,insecurities, self-conscious ,doubtful " are the problems of any person who wants to succeed. I really loved the way they reflected these emotions in one single drama.
This drama is a mix of genres it literally plays with emotions , it will tickle our funny bones at times, squeezes out all the tears with sentiments and makes our heart flutter with sweet moments there are few amazing dialogues that are inspiring as well.
HAHAHAHAHA these were my thoughts in the first half of the drama but "naive me ", now at the end i am left with empty feelings and i kept wondering about the genre of this drama.The comedy in this is only in the first half tbh. Initially i thought this would be about chasing dreams etc etc (one feel good life lesson drama) and did not show much interest in the love-triangle but towards the end startup was a side track and all the attention was forced towards how will male lead get the girl . And ya this has no elements about the struggle at all . My rating is only for the first half as i enjoyed watching them but for the rest half i would just give 2/10 because it made no sense to me (Maybe i had high expectations).
For those who like Nam joo hyuk and suzy's it would be a great drama for visuals

Just cant emphasize enough on how much i loved this
I love it when leads are binded into complicated fate despite loving eachother , staying together becomes difficult, just my cup of tea.Now this is what is called plot development, you can clearly point out the influence the leads had on each other.Relationships that help you grow as a person are the best and we got to see it here, clearly Shim WooJoo will remain as one of the unique and beautifully written women characters in my memory, she does'nt hesistate to speak her mind which makes her appear as cold and rude but to me as an audience felt totally refreshing to hear as we in real lifes would want to went out all our frustration but would hesitate.
Han Dongjin again a very well written character, no one can be perfect and characters like these makes the drama more realistic and loveable. Despite growing up under some unfortunate circumstances i loved how the 3 siblings and Dongjin were living a very independent and respectable life. I also loved haesung and yoonjoon.
Dialogues are very well written, there is not a single thing i disliked in this drama. I loved it how the family opened up to each other and communicated all that has happened in their lives so far, we could see how the leads personalities changed towards the end and i didnot question a single thing that happened here the transition was amazing and smooth . I wonder why i skipped it while it was on air but glad that i binge watched it now . I actually wanted more of this but good that they ended it the way they did . Super satisfied
What! Kim young kwang and lee sung kyung were in this drama but all i could see were just Han Dongjin and Shim woojoo. I found myself bawling many times while they were just speaking to each other with straight faces that is when i realised i was way too much empatising with their pain which made me cry even more.
Definetly this is not for everyone, to sum it up i would say this is a melo drama which involves complicated feelings also this is themed to be sad so all the ep's had dim screen tone which most of them might not like but that added more to the emotions.
Soooooo if u want to experience virtual pain , witness beauty of love and relatinships, Give this a try

Most satisfying mystery series i have ever watched
Who doesnt want to go back to the past and change something for a better future with our love ones? Though it is fantasy would love it.If a mystery drama can make me want to guess the culprit till the end without getting bored , then it is a HIT fo me. My perfect stranger is exactly that where i enjoyed watching every character , despised few of them, felt pity for few and cried for few.
KUDOS!! to the writer it is amazing how they unveiled the mask of each character and threw them out of suspects list.
Romance is definetly a shortcoming here but all the cute hugs our leads had were way more heart fluttering than anything more spicy
Some noteworthy mention:- FL's younger version of her father is quite adorable
If you are into suspense thrillers which makes you experience a whole lot of emotions with a slight touch of comedy. GIVE THIS A SHOT!!
