Risky romance is a medical drama with no medical cases. The story like to focus on the relationship between the two protagonist and to built a romance that didn't really make sense. The male lead was too violent and childish, making it hard to imagine him with the girl. His condition, moreover, was used only when needed and they just forgot about it when it wasn't aiding the plot development. The ending, in addition, was rushed and didn't conlude everyones' stories well. At least this drama wasn't boring to watch.

Dare I say this one was better than the korean? Well, there are some really solid reasons why. First of all, there was no romance. In the korean, the love story kind of ruined the drama, but here, they kept it clean and focused on the medical cases and the lead's struggles to succeed. In addition, the cases were plenty and they were completed in one episode and not dragged for two and three. Finally, it gave off more emotion than the korean one. So, overall, it is worth watching. Kento seems more mature now and he actually performed his character well enough. The rest of the cast did great work as well. My only regret is that the final episode was a bit boring and it didn't coclude the story nicely.

Though the story didn't seem really appealing, the drama ended up being really good. The story is simple, but what makes this drama enjoyable and entertaining is the leading lady. She was so good playing Jin Jin, funny and cute as well as elegant. However, the romance was so so and, at least for me, adding the idols to play a few scenes from the past of the main characters was just there to attract attention from the fans rather than adding something more to the plot. The side stories, moreover, were funny and good enough to fill the gaps here and there, though all the actors were really good at their parts. A small dislike on Antony's character, though the actor was good, I really didn't like him or get him. Finally, that Bella girl mystery never were completed. I wanted at least to see her or, as they brought her to Seoul, they could have made an encounter or something. So, the last two episodes were just so so, but the rest of the drama was really good and cute.

My sassy girl started weak, had some good parts in the middle, but
eventually, it just got more boring. The plot was interesting at first,
even though the first few episodes tried to mimic the original movie
way too much to the point that they looked ridiculous. The whole
disposed queen, though, and the princess's secret were okay, adding
some thrill to the plot that else was tiring to watch. The couple were
more comical than had chemistry. It's a same because the actress was
seriously good in please come back mister... Not that this performance
was bad, but it didn't have anything special. In addition, the script
didn't help the actors much. The funny parts were few, even though the
whole drama tried to keep a light mood. In the end, I can't say that I
didn't fast forward some parts that were just boring, or that it didn't
take me more than it should to finish it because I kept postponing
watching it. so, 3 out of 10.

Not Good Enough

'' Hierarchy '' is a school melodrama that is more about the cinematography than the story. In other words, is more about looks than substance.

The story is pretty basic, makjang style, with some rich kids terrorizing the poor students while dealing with their own personal drama. Still, there were some interesting elements at the start of the drama, with some intriguing plotlines.

However, as the series progressed, the story got more and more loose, getting boring to boot.

As for the romance, or love triangle, it was boring and the leads didn't really have any chemistry.

Also, they tried hard to make the rich kids look extra, but they just ended up not looking like teenagers, but rich makjang housewives.

At least the performances were enjoyable.

So, overall, three out of ten.

This drama reminds me of two others : Manhole and Go back couple. However, even though those two dramas had a solid plot and purpose of why they were made, this drama failed to deliver. I'm not concerned on it not being original. If the plot is good, why not watch it again with other characters? The main minus, however, that I've found is that the drama pretty much finished in episode 12. The rest of episodes were some unreasonable and meaningless plot twists, happy ever afters and just cute family life. It felt like the writers didn't know what to do with their story and just rushed to add something to fill the hours that were remaining.
Part from that major setback, the performances by the cast were great by all the actors and actresses and they pulled it off nicely. Also, the drama up to the 12th episode, was very good and interesting.

" Vagabond " was action packed, but had some parts of it that it wasn't that good.

The drama started strongly, with two emotional episodes that shoot the interest high with the whole action and mystery plot. The action continued till the very end, but the mystery was pretty much solved or got uninteresting half way through. So, the rest of the drama was just an extremely thinly spread plot that was left open in the end, probalby suggesting a second season ( ? ? ). The romance, in addition, was just unecessary. The couple had not one moment together and the whole thing looked forced. The performances, however, were pretty good.

So, overall, six out of ten.

" Normal but special " was short and okay, overall.

The story had potential, especially with the characters being all mysterious about their feelings. Also, school life, friendship and first love are always the main themes of webdramas where you can't really go wrong with them. The performances were good, in addition, from every actor and actress of the cast. Especially the leading lady, she was adorable and easily likable.

However, the webdrama was either too short, or the script didn't help with the presentation of the story. The characters felt flat and one dimensional. An example that comes in mind is the female lead, who said that she wanted to be special, even though she never explained what was the root of her ambition. The drama swept off many of the issues that could easily have added some depth to the story, and ended up with a half baked romance.

So, overall, four out of ten.

This would have been a great movie, if it wasn't so rushed and the execution wasn't that progressive. Some scenes were presented as flashes of images spitted at you out of nowhere and they were actually events that happened and you should have figure it out. In other words, you should pay really close attention, use your imagination and don't mind the open ending to like this movie. The performances were good though and the scenary and settings very well filmed. So, four out of ten, because they didn't present the story well.

Unfortunately, this drama was a disappointment. I'm only giving it 2 out of 10 stars because : Kai was a delight. I wasn't expecting much from him, but he really pulled it off and his performance as a carefree student who eventually changes was really good. He should play the cute, happy, outgoing guy more often. Secondly, his sister's love story was interesting and I liked her character as well. So, these two things kept me going. However, the rest were a disaster. I can't express enough how bad the editing was. We had Kai in school thinking of Bom, then, suddenly, Kai in his room calling her and next Kai in the hospital meeting her. I mean, how can someone skip a whole day in a few minutes, even if it's a drama, and not make it look wierd ? In addition, the story was okay, not anything too original to keep you entertained for long, but there was a major twist in the end, at least. Finally, the girl who played Bom was not really good with her expressions, expecially in the first episodes. She did got a bit better, but, overall, she was bad. But, I'm cutting her some sluck because it was her first acting attempt. All in all, 2 out of 10.

Good Enough

" Oh My Baby " had a really strong start, though the love square was a bit boring.

The drama has a lot of angst when it came to the leading lady's dream of becoming a mother. And, a lot of babies!! The romance was also nice, although the love square was boring. The one guy was quickly eliminated and the second lead was too annoying in the end. The whole drama, in those ending episodes, was about the male lead going back and worth about what he wanted, what he felt, and what he ought to do. Which is a bit off, as they had options (if they've got married they could apply for adoption, for example. He is a rich photographer, she seems to love babies and kids, and, for what I've seen in other Korean dramas, adoption isn't really a big no-no in Korean society, unless I'm wrong.) So, yes, that whole drama could have been lessened.

But, overall, Oh My Baby was quite enjoyable. The leading lady did an amazing job with her character and she was both tragic and entertaining. The whole romance was nicely paced as well, and the vibes of the drama were just perfect.

So, seven and a half out of ten.

" Stove League " is the Chief Kim of sports.

Honestly, stove league was not for me. I didn't get entertained, and a few of the stories kept me interested. However, taken in consideration that maybe it wasn't my cup of tea, I'll review it without taking that factor in mind.

So, the story was interesting, as they presented the way the team was trying to get the Dreams, aka their baseball team. The stories were mostly humane, and the fact that they didn't add any unnecessary romance to it was a delight. The performances were really good too from all actors and actresses of the cast. The pace, presentation of the sports and training process, as well as the poster, were nailed to perfection.

So, seven out of ten.

A good drama for the fans of the Let's Eat series. It was centred around food, but the story was overall nice too. Some of the scenes were idiotic, however, and too much over the top. The romance was good too, especially the love triangle. The side romance was cute and full of passion as well. The other side stories, however, weren't that good and they got tiring after a while. Finally, the guest appearance of BTOB was a nice surprise. In addition, although, the leading lady was kind of annoying overall, the performances were good.

Memories of the Alhambra is an ambitious drama. It creates interest right from the start, with the mysterious disappearance of the creator of a live action game in Spain. Actually, the first two episodes were really good. As the viewer is trying to figure out what is going on and to understand the new technology and new drama genre that this drama introduces, the tension builts up and the action scenes become more and more. So, the good parts about this drama were : A) the game plot, B) the ending, C) the performances, D) SGI and action scenes. However, there were major wrongs about this one. First of all, the romance was weak and just wrong. They got together out of the blue and it is hard to believe that they developed feelings so strong to the point that they would worry so much for each other that it made them desperate. Also, the leading lady was really annoying. Not that the actress didn't play her role well. However, the script just killed the character. She ended up being this weak character who the only thing that did was worry about everyone and cry. And then there were the plot holes. Like, they just left their brother to another country, moved to Korea and a year later they remembered that he was missing (?!!). Finally, the plot was so slow paced that it felt like I was watching still the first episodes when the drama was halfway finished.
So, 5.5 out of 10, because this one had so much potential but the romance and the weak leading lady ruined it.

Good Enough

Japan seems to like the game theme, and " Alice in Borderland " nailed every aspect of it. From the suspense to the gore, the drama had it all. Fortunately, that all didn't include romance, at least not yet.

Having not read the manga, and watching the drama with no prior experience of the Alice in Borderland universe, it wasn't hard to get introduced to the story and smoothly enter the gaming mode. The drama does a great job introducing each character and their background stories, blending them well with the main mystery about who's behind everything and the individual games the players were asks to play. The extra plotline with the 'Beach' and the strategies that the characters were ploting was another suspenseful factor that added a lot to the main entertainment of the drama.

As for the performances, everyone did a great job with their characters and were enjoyable to watch. Some of the actors were acutally unrecognizable!

Finally, the CGI were spot on and didn't ruin the whole experience.

So, overall, 9 out of 10.
