" Secret Boutique " was an okay drama.

What I liked was the background story. As a fan of melodramas and tragic stories with characters that overcome their past and become stronger than ever. And yes, that background story was there, but the current story line was weak. First of all, for a drama called secret boutique, with the main character being a designer, we hardly saw desinger action. No clothes were made, no attelier, just the leading lady dressing smart. Her solving rich peoples' problems was mostly restricted to some people close to her family.

So, the main story was predictable and uninteresting. The main character was way too unemotional. The love triangle was a bit unnecessary too. But, the past story was solid and pretty much original. The performances were good too.

So, overall, six out of ten.

The Grand Prince had a rather boring synopsis that really didn't do it justice. The drama is very intense, with a nice love triangle, tragic characters, action scenes that will keep you entertained till the end, and power conspiracies.
I loved the main couple. They had chemistry and their love story was nice and interesting, even though it started very quickly and it didn't have time to built up. The second lead was an interesting character as well, the opposite of the main lead, dark and violent. I liked how he was the perfect opposition to the love triangle and how tragic his persona was.
The drama did, however, get a bit tiring, with the many many action scenes and twists. But, it was entertaining nevertheless. So, 8 out of 10.

Not Good Enough

Korean Drama " King The Land " is a romantic comedy with two strong leads.

The drama has a smooth start, with a story that brings back nostalgic feelings for the old Korean romantic comedies that ruled the last decade and even before that. The romance is sweet and the banter between the leads is adorable and entertaining. The friendship was also an enjoyable factor.

However, everything went downhill when the two leads got together, which happened early on. Thus, the drama was left to deal with romantic dates, traveling abroad, and some family drama, which at least kept things interesting here and there but was too predictable to be able to save the drama.

Other than the boring plot, however, the performances kept being strong, and the main couple had chemistry.

So, overall, two and a half out of ten.

Samurai Marathon is apparently based on a true story, or, at least, on true events. That is why the movie was just a bit ... I wouldn't say boring but it lacked intensity. Usually, with samurai movies you expect action scenes that can take your breath away, wonderful speeches about greatness and deep emotions. Here, you get nice characters, but a flat story.

The action scenes were okay, but just a bit boring. The characters, moreover, were interesting, but they were too many to follow and that's why the movie couldn't handle them and they ended up falling through the cracks and disappearing.

The performances, as expected, were brilliant. The movie was packed with Japan's big names (I mean Sato Takeru was one of the leads and that is enough reason to watch this one).

So, overall, six out of ten.

When it came to the story "Kakafukaka" was probably only focused on the relationship and the love triangle. The characters, thus, were not even presented. There were bits of background story, but, overall, there were superficial. The leading lady was also more of a pushover than anything. She clearly had second thoughts about the whole arrangment and yet she always agreed to everyone's crazy demands. The romance was incomplete as well. There was no depth, no emotion and no actual ending or conclusion to it. The idea of the story was odd but the romance seemed to have potential at some point. The performances were okay too. So, four out of ten.

I was actually surprised by this one. As I have watched my fair share of short web dramas that usually have a non existent plot and a huge advertising purpose, I wasn't expecting much out of this one. And yet, I was shocked. The story was decent, not that great, but still it was there. And it was completed!! The presentation of Seoul's hot spots was handled well and everything was nicely meddling well with the plot and they didn't look like a lengthy advertisment. So, along with the good performances, this one is trully a nice web drama.

A short drama to watch, that is both funny and romantic, but there isn't much in the plot. The performances were okay, and probably that was the reason why this one didn't flop, as the story was odd and kind of idiotic at some point. But, at least, the drama was entertaining, it had it's funny moments and the romance was okay, as the couple had chemistry. The ending, in addition, as a bit of a wrap up and it wasn't as much of a conclusion to the story and that left out many unanswered questions. The constant flash backs, as well, were tiring and boring, making the episodes longer, sure, but not adding anything to the actual story. So, 4 out of 10.

A Sci Fi thriller with tones of action and a solid story. My main
problem with this drama was that it was kind of hard to keep up. The
events followed one another too quickly and you had to pay attention to
two stories and not just one. Honestly, the 2017 story was better than
the new earth one, but they were equally entertaining nevertheless. The
performances were really good, as the actors had to deal with a action
packed theme. Also, the mystery was quite intriguing, even though the
whole bug thing was gross. Fortunately, there wasn't too much blood, as
the drama focused more on the mystery rather than impressing with gore
and sci fi technology. So, 7 out of 10, because the second story was a
but boring.

Not Good Enough

Korean Drama '' Queen of Divorce '' is a dramatic law comedy.

The drama, first of all, focuses mostly on the female lead's story and her efforts to redeem herself and bring those who hurt her to justice. Therefore, there weren't a lot, or even any, legal cases other than the main one, which was a letdown, as the main lead was supposed to be the queen of divorce, even though she couldn't be a lawyer.

The romance, in addition, felt forced and it was boring, especially since they were trying to base it on a past that the viewer had never watched.

Finally, the performances were enjoyable.

So, overall, three out of ten.

Not Good Enough

" Lonely Enough To Love" was not what one should expect by the title. It is a light rom com that takes up many themes, that, unfortunately, never developed properly.

The romance itself was boring, as it was too slow paced for the length of the drama, didn't have any element of surprise and was predictable. It also felt a bit messy. As for the love triangle, that as well was nothing original.

The friendship part, however, was pretty warm and sweet. But, the side characters were often pushed aside.

Finally, the performances were okay, but the leading lady was felt like she was acting in a 2010 drama.

So, overall, 3 out of 10.

Good Enough

" Kiss me at the stroke of midnight " was an okay rom com.

The movie deals with a typical high school romance that turns everyone's fantasy of a girl next door meeting her celebrity crush, into reality. And, of course, he will like her as well. There were some cute moments, as the couple had chemistry and looked good together. There was some drama too.

But the overall story is predictable and cliche. The characters felt one dimensional, especially the leading lady, with no background, no plans for the future or actual personality other than the basic cookie cut one they were introduced with. That is not to say that the actors were bad; they were actually really good and their performances were enjoyable. However, the script didn't allow them to really shine.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" Followers " was a visual pleasing drama.

The story was okay, but it could have been way better. There were so many issues that the drama touched, like having to choose between family and wokr. But the drama focused more on the bringht lights and the beautiful colors rather than the story. So, it felt like it was presented a bit superficial, without taking a deeper dive into what the characters felt. The romance was nice and subbtle, and the monbebe mother was just reletable and funny. Also, the second couple felt odd, as the guy seemed more connected with the son rather with the mother. The final episode was a bit rushed and it was more like it was trying to wrap things up with an unrealistic happy ending. Still, the cinematography was breathtaking and the performances were great from everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

I give my first love to you, the drama, was, at least for me, better than the movie. Coming out almost ten years after the movie, it explores the story better, with a more in depth exploration of the characters. Overall, the love story was cute and sweet, though the ending was a bit open I think. In any case, anyone can interepreter it differently.
In addition the performances were good and the leading lady was especially likable and adorable. I also enjoyed the fact that they added more side characters to the drama, though the second love story was so so. Plus, the pace of the plot was good.
So, 7 out of 10.

A Web Drama that sums up into two hours drama. The story is overall cute and it focuses mostly on the romance, though the social media refrences were cute too. The performances were good also from all the actors and actresses, even from the ones on the side stories. However, even though the main story was completed, the side ones were left uncompleted. There so many questions left unanswered, that only makes me think that there might be season two. Part from that, the drama was well executed overall.

Mama Fairy and the woodcutter had a weak start. It kind of got better, but the story got tiring soon and the ending was an awful mess. The CGI were really bad, and they lowered the quality of the scenes that they were added. The story was okay, but the ending was really bad and the final conclusion not an actual conclusion. However, the performances were good, though the leading lady was kind of annoying, and at least they got out of the second lead trop. So, four out of ten, because there were some specks of a nice love story, but the rest was boring.
