A Missed for Boxing Fans
Another exciting series that was produce.A little review for the Lovely Boxer
Story Arc
Story is about a genius boxer that is not happy on being a boxer because she suffered from unfortunate circumstances.
then a sports agent comes along and the story started.
First 4 episodes was on point and the story was practical, after the comeback match, the story backtrack from the past
but the story never recovered and final match could have a better angle to the story. because somewhere in episode 7 or 8
the agent was talking to an international promoters, but never got the chance to include the storyline. A little story on the former golf champion turned female sports agent could add some nice touch. There a little background story on Ah Reum the WBC champion, the coaches have a dry side story, there are a lot of angles to work after episode 4, but never went thru for this 12 part series (Short Series).
Acting
So Hye is learning fast as an actress, Ahreum is really interesting, Sang Yeob was into it on the first 4 episode, after that the news brokeout about his wedding, hahaha his acting after episode 4 was a bit rushed. coaches, sparing partner, have small air time, the announcer voice podcast section was a cute touch on episode 6 but too rushed.
Cast
Cast is great
Music
Only 2 stands out one is included on the OST released in an album and a perfect ending theme on Episode 12. and some happy moments on the middle part of the series, the other one, a very good ending theme but they only use it on episode 1 - 4 which is a let down, and they did not use it on the final match.
Rewatch
If you are into sports live action, this is a good watch
Overall
GOOD

A series with good cast and story but forgot about the rest
Numbers just finished!not a whole bunch to say since, the story is good for certain people (like me)
Cast was interesting but somehow it feels rushed and untapped,
music is not great and not in tune, except for the theme played while the VP is being released from prison
rewatch, if you like thinking series this is a good short series, but if you are not into that kind series
better watch something else.
just fine series, writer story is good but the direction of the story is somehow rushed.
we don't know could be ratings issue, the series feels rushed.

Surprising Good Series
Shooting Stars is a very surprising series and get to see lovable acting,A rom-com well produced by the entire staff, kudos to the writer in composing and the director in translating what the writer wants to convey.
Acting,
Lee Sung Kyung is natural, got to love her putting the character in this series, i didn't see a model Lee Sung Kyung, it is oh hyan byul in the screen, Park so Jin seldomly can be seen in rom-com, this series fits her character, Lee Si Woo and Jin Ho Eun fits the crazy young couple, everyone portraited the characters in a production staff environment in an entertainment industry behind the camera.
Music
Can't go wrong with the main ost, it can be played anywhere perfect ost
definitely a rewatch recommendation if you want to laugh
All in All
a very surprising series

better at 1st half
The series started strong, with a good cast, good introduction of the aftermath of a successful lawyerafter episode 4, the story suddenly took a turn from great to good,
the bgm from first 2 episode was on point after episode 4 suddenly became cliche and do not fit and not a good timing during as the story progresses.
can't say anything bad about the cast, it was the progress of the story and lack of timing of the OST after episode 4
Did they change the editing staff after episode 4,?

Photographic Memory
[Story]Story from the writer has some potential because a police officer having a photographic ability is a rare story specially on korean series, I scored it 7 because the story started good as the series reached its climan the story of the photographic memory became a sidekick instead of focusing on the police officer that has photographic memory.
[Cast]
Good Casts, however not all casts have portrayed their characters well.
[Music]
No notable BGM in the series, just acceptable
[Rewatch Value]
Just once
[Overall]
Could have been better, but it is a good series about a police officer having a photographic ability.
Cheers!

There is no myth
Story could have been better, started fine until after the third episode, music is not inline with the story, it just one of those good series, the quantum story could have been better.will i rewatch, if you like series that involves physics and engineering you will be dissapointed, however if you like a good series because of the cast, this is a good choice.
there is no myth in the series, just did not attained the full potential of the story. never the less it is a good story.

Nemo Finds its way to Jisung
Have you wake up hearing the door bell on your home?Can you wake up again after hearing the door bell?
This story is one of the few that makes you want to see what happen next.
writer, director, actors/actress, cameos fall in play on an exciting thriller that can make you question yourself do i want to wake up on this dream or do you want to know what the dream is all about?
story started with a small prequel before the thriller kicks in
what would you do if you wake up in a different place and the story of life you know suddenly changes
the writers, actors/actress, director performed an excellent art.
the sound makes you excited, makes you cringe, makes you want to smack your tv
now i want to buy a stuff toy that can record your voice
highly recommended!!!

Time Warp
One of the few series that has several vantage points,First few episodes they capture the story of past and future, 4 phones where made that connect each characters on their respective roles, it was refreshing.
after the 2nd to the last time warp, the story did not focus on times, it was back to the same political and scandal story found on other series, the essence of the first half of the series was gone, the bgm and ost are not in sync with the story so the second half of the story is kind of flat.
nevertheless the first half of the story that got me hooked up and it was refreshing.
will i watch it again, I will watch the first half of the series again.

Todai no Hike!!!
nostalgic and fitting ending! missing one person physicallystory we all know revolved with sakuragi sensee and honing the stupid students take on the todai and taking the bumps to those who want him to fail, episode is too short for the story lines this season, season 3 should be in the works hopefully.
watch the season 1 if you haven't . although seto needs to work on his crying lol, rewatch it on both seasons
my only take away is they should have released the ost for this season, realize was a spectacular ost from season 1
i can replay realize anytime and fiiting on a high school setting series.
season 3?? hahaha how old sakuragi sensee will be. will the math teacher still swinging kendo sticks, fingers crossed!
add this series to your playlist!

First Love is to Die For!!!
As in the review is literally just like the titleanyone experience first love, during their younger years, don't lie,
some part of your conscience still cannot forget your first love.
Lets talk about the Story
12 episode is short but it conveys the directors and actors perception of the story, eerie questions fly into one's mind
Pre Mission
will this mission help me get close to my wife family?
will this mission benefit me?
will this mission help bring justice?
will this mission increase my net worth to provide for my wife?
During Mission
what's happening?
Am i going too far?
Protecting my wife is my priority?
what happened to me?
is this still part of the mission?
Post Mission
Will we be able to go back we were before?
Why are you on his side crying?
Is this the result of going to deep in the mission?
Do I still want to protect you?
questions asked by the ML is happening in today's environment, even in South Korea, a very realistic approach on the story. The 5 deadly sins is also heavily conveyed into one worst of somebody (you got envy, you got greed, you got wrath, you got gluttony, you got pride).
Lets talk about the Cast
a good cast, each character held its own, never new that the SFL is her first drama in south korea, and she got the lines and looks, now the about the title, FL and SML, they portrait that the first love is to die for really well, ML conveys the character pretty well, and its happening on all police officers. Chief and the Violent Crimes Detective, an example of do anything at all cost, supporting role cast filled in the shoes really well,.
Lets talk about OST
OST is not the strongest part of this series, the ending OST is intense, the good thing is they did not insert any cheesy ost here
all business,.
Rewatch Value
Yes, this is one of the top 20 pyschological thriller genre of all time, globally
for south korea, its top 3, number 1 and 2 for me is still "I saw the Devil" and "Through the Darkness"
now, does your wives, best friend, lover, have a first love from their past that you don't know about?
its gonna eat you and a good start of argument.

Has a lot of potential but got limited to a short story
Story:The Series has a lot of potential but got limited to a short story telling. The first 2 episodes started in a high note then it did not sustain the impact of the first 2 episodes, probably writers direction? director direction? lot of possibilities some backend things affected the story telling. The series could go on to 8 or 10 episode, the backtrack is vague, the reason of the Female Lead is off timed at episode 6, there is no backstory on the parents, there is no side story on the foundation aside from the last 3 mins of the ending episode, after revealing a new principal, that's the only time the series got interested about the foundation. 7 episode is short and cramp, hopefully season 2 will be good, season 1 is just fair.
Acting/Cast:
Cast is strong, so there is no problem with the budget or not, because there are limited appearances of the parents in the series, Cast was not leverage to its potential. while on the other hand Acting, is somewhat Good - Fair , again limited based on the script and the director's direction.
Music:
This is an easy 5, not so much interesting on the BGM/OST
Rewatch:
the first 2 episode is a must watch, other than that a season 2 is needed.
