Mr. Pride vs. Miss Prejudice
5 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
okay, kind of cliché, but entertaining nevertheless. The comedy factor
was overstretched, as the events were kind of ridiculous, though they
produced laughter, so the film makers succeeded (this could have been a
lot worse if they hadn't handled it well). In addition, the creepy,
unrealistic body part changes reminded me of those manga movies that
try to follow the manga on which they are based on to the point of
being idiotic. That said, the plot had a strong feeling of being a
manga-webtoon as well, as one event finished and right away a new
character popped up out of nowhere and kind of expected the viewer to
know him. Finally, the performances were good and the chemistry between
the two actors strong enough to produce a good romance. So, 4 out of
10.

Cheongdam International High School

Not Good Enough
Korean Drama " Bitch X Rich " is a school melodrama with an edgy plot. However, it gets more makjang than a mystery solving series.The drama has a relaxing pace, which was okay at first, but didn't serve it well in the end. When things were starting to wrap up, the drama rushed things and gave the story a questionably open ending.
Also, the drama was too melodramatic at times. The twists were predictable as well and most of the characters were annoying, even the main one, though one should appreciate her brutal honesty when it came to her situation and her fighting spirit. But you could see that her choices turned into unavoidable disasters one by one.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable enough.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Military Prosecutor Doberman
4 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
Not Good Enough
Korean Drama " Military Prosecutor Doberman " is a law thriller taking place in the military.The drama follows two main characters, complitelly different from each other; one seeking money and success, the other revenge and justice. And yet, when they team up they make a deliciously enjoyable duo, with their dynamics and chemistry hiting the highest notes. Hence, their interactions were entertaining and their action scenes well performed. However, the romance should have been held out of the equation.
Also, the villain of the drama had a nice arc, with his character going from being utterly dispicable, to finding his inner peace and realizing that his actions were hurting others. Probably watching his character development was the highlight of the drama.
On the other hand, the criminal cases were boring and predictable, though some of them were quite emotional. But those about the power struggle in the military were classic tropes that were handled badly.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, four out of ten.

Work Later, Drink Now Season 2
3 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
Good Enough
Korean Drama " Work Later, Drink Now " is the continuation of the hit drama, concerning three friends who enjoy drinking.Admitably, the second season has a weaker plot, compared to its prequel, often falling into cheesy trops and sometimes even trying too hard to produce laugher, having the three leads going through rediculous situations, which made the whole story unbelievable.
On the other hand, there were some solid moments, especially towards the end, or when the drama explored the background of the leads and their family bonds. However, some storylines were left half baked.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast. But the three main leads stole the spotlight every time.
So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

The Boyfriend Who Can't Kill and the Girlfriend Who Won't Die
4 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
Good Enough
" The boyfriend that can't kill and the girlfriend who won't die " had a really strong main story. However, they didn't equally handle all the stories.First of all, this movie is not the typical school romance film, with cute scenes and romance all over it. On the contrary, it explores themes like depression, family drama, and problems that high school students might encounter and deal with. The way the 'couples' (referring to them as pairing not as romantic relations) healed each other and provided comfort was a nice and hopeful note. However, even though the stories were intense and had depth, they needed more time to bloom. The film hardly had time to give them equal time for all of them and that resulted in either having some of the characters underdeveloped or having things happening rashly, which sometimes confused the plot.
Nevertheless, the ending was bittersweet and unexpected. And the actors did an amazing job, especially the leading lady in those final scenes.
So, overall, 6 out of 10.

Girl Next Room: Richy Rich
3 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
The comedy was overflowing in this one, as the main couple were mostly enemies and slowly started liking each other. So, they really nailed the funny parts and the comedy scenes weren't over the top, which was a plus. The whole drama actually had a fluff, light feeling throughout. However, the story was predictable. But, still, it was entertaining and the actors and actresses did a great job with their characters. The couple had chemistry as well, even though the conclusion of their love story was a bit lukewarm.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

Nibiiro no Hako no Naka de

So, the story starts a bit light, with the youngsters reaching a mile stone in their lives when they will not only have to start thinking about their future, but their friendship as well. The drama then focuses on the young love and how the leading lady has a crush on the boy next door, but is afraid to tell him. The drama takes a darker turn later on, with the addition of more characters and more issues resurfacing. The thing is, however, that the drama let things go out of hand for a while with the complex relationships and secrets. It just felt a bit messy. But, they corrected things in the final episode. Another minus for this drama was that the main couple didn't really have chemistry, though they looked good together, and their performances were great.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Another thing that the drama did right was the ending. Towards the middle, it was a bit overwhelming to imagine the inevitable, but the writers concluded everything beautifully, and gave closure not only to the characters, but the audience as well. Unfortunately, in retrospect, the drama overexploited the main story and, in the end, it felt like nothing really happened, just the main plot and nothing else. Still, the drama was entertaining till the very end. For a side note, it would have been nice if they have shown how the main couple patched things up. Finally, the performances were great from everyone in the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Kiss Scene in Yeonnamdong
4 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
The drama did repeat lots of scenes, mostly about the mystery of the kiss night. And it was easy to predict who was the kisser, but the drama had a nice pace, even though it was a short one, and they managed to complete the story and be wholesome. The characters were pretty intriguing and interesting. Plus, they had chemistry, which helped a lot with the built up of the love story. The performances were really good from all the actors and actresses of the cast.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

One thing that I really loved was the camera work. They made it look like it was filmed with a phone or an old camera, like a documentary which resulted to a more realistic twist to the whole drama. Also, the way that they presented the story was pretty good and clever. However, the editing was kind of off and sometimes the story got confusing.
The story, moreover, was unique and entertaining. They kept it real and didn't add any romance or unnecessary twist to it. It was humane and deep, as it showed how the characters influenced one another.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

The story is predictable, but one can watch it nicely enough. Be aware that some scenes are mature though, but not too explicit. The love story was fun, although the leading lady did not match well with that older guy-her boss. She, however, had chemistry with her partner. Plus, there was a happy ending, after a nicely made twist.
The performances were okay as well. Though, some of the characters were simply annoying and felt like they were taking advantage of other characters.
So, five out of ten.
