Holding The Cat in Arms is more like a theatrical production than a movie. The set is, most of the time, in a theatre. The whole mood is like watching Cats overall, with humans acting like cats and everything. And the story was a bit confusing at times. But, after finishing the movie, you do get a sense of what was actually happening. The execution of it was good too. But, maybe it wasn't my cup of tea or the story didn't have the conclusion that I was hoping for (a longer one at least). However, the performances were really good and there were some cute moments.

My Moochy Boyfriend looked like a good drama. Comedy, check, good actor, check, based on a manga, check. However, the story was simply over the top. The leading lady could not be THAT forgiving!! She was trying to change Sho, her boyfriend, but it was clear that she was failing, as she was pulling back at the last minute and just overspoiled him. On the other hand, Sho, even though he loved her, he was not even willing to change.... So, why stay together? At least, there were some fun moments and they looked good as a couple. But, Masataka Kubota could have picked a better role. He is not my favourite actor, but I can at least admit that he is good. And this character just felt less. The girl was extra cute! Kind of saved the drama for me. Finally, the comedy scenes were handled well and they didn't look rushly made or fake, though the events were clearly too over the top to actually happen... Overall, 6 out of 10.

A short drama that actually has a cute story. Overall, it was entertaining, I have to say. The story wasn't anything special, but it was light and sweet. The romance was cute as well. In addition, the performances were good from all the actors and actresses. Another plus was the eye candy actors, that were many in this one!! Also, there was no love triangle, but the bromance was nice and strong. However, I have to say that there were some annoying characters. The leading lady wasn't that likable at first, but she got better. But her friend was exremely annoying!! Eventually, she was the one who created the chaos and didn't even support her friend... Anyway, in the end, it was a nice drama with a simple feel good plot.

Terius Behind me is a funny spy drama, with cute kids and a solid bromance. The action scenes were plenty and well made, cinema quality level. The comic moments were good as well, especially with the parents, who were funny and the real everyday heroes. Another thing that this drama had going for it was the character development. The lead lady was really good with her character overcoming all the obstacles and herself as well. So, the performances were really good from every actor and actress, even the kids. However, the story god boring towards the end. The love story was really weak as well. Finally, the last episode and the conclusion of the story was out of the blue . So, 7 out of 10.

That man Oh Soo is a drama with a promising plot but a horrible, horrible execution. I honestly had to force myself to watch the last four episodes cause it was out there unfinished for weeks now and it bothered me. Another reason why I kept watching it was Jonghyun, who was really good in this one. He finally matured into a good actor and I'm glad that he had chances in getting more experiance.
Other than that, the drama was seriously boring. The love story was bleak, the magic fantasy mythology incomplete and never explained properly, the plot was tiring to watch and follow and overall, the pace was too slow and the ending horrible. I mean, if there was at least a nice conclusion I would have rated this one with an additional star, but, unfortunately, the final scenes was just... confusing and unsatisfying. I mean, what happened?? What was that?? I keep thinking about it and I can't figure it out.
So three out of ten because of the performances, some few cute moments and the soundtrack.

Modern Farmer is a comedy more than anything else. Its funny from episode one till episode twenty. Some of the jokes did get overplayed, and some of them were really silly, but overall, this drama did produce laughter. Other than that, the story is so so, with the romance mediocre, if not non, the love triangle bleak, the side stories just okay and the big mystery uninteresting. The performances were nice, though, with Hongki bringing in the cute younger man to life in perfection. The other boys were good as well. I also enjoyed the romance between the "dork" and the artist girl, even though the ending was cheesy. So, overall, 6 out of 10, because it was an enjoyable drama, but not something you should watch if you are looking for something with a solide story and a good romance.

Not much can be said about this drama, that started simple and quite among the other big ones, and actually managed to pull of a great story, keep the interest high till the very ending and actually increased the emotional level pretty neatly. The performances were good as well, and the chemistry between the two main ones really good, though the focus was more on the tragedy rather the romance for most of it. At some point, however, it did got a bit tiring, though it picked up quickly after, almost turning Uncontrolably fond on me.

A light romance drama, which was based, however, on a silly idea. The girl believes in luck and she goes through rituals or consults her shaman before her every action. That's okay enough. But, half way through, she just changes her beliefs just like that. I know love is strong etc etc but still, I would have preferred a better representation of the girl's personality and inner thought, as her beliefs weren't unreasonable for her. Maybe the cause of the whole romance driven story was the fact that they might wanted to make a light romance drama rather than a little more dramatic. But still, if so, they shouldn't have created such a dramatic background for her. Anyway, other than that, the drama was okay, with a strong and funny start, but with a so so ending. The love story was cute and the couple had some chemistry, but the girl got a little annoying down the way. Still, it was okay, with some great performances. So, 4 out of 10.

he sole reason why I've watched this drama was the fact that BTOB were included in the soundtrack. But I was hoping that I would be proved wrong and that this drama will surprise me and be a hidden pearl. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The story is about a poor girl, who is kicked out of the house where she is living in along with her step mother and her step sister (the Cinderella fairy tale similarities can't be missed), accepts a job from a rich businessman who asks her to make his three grandsons become a family. However, the drama kept falling into the cliché cheesy traps again and again. The romance is okay, even though it was way too predictable. Fortunately, the chemistry between the lead actress and the three boys was really good, and the performances were okay and therefor I give this drama 2 out of 10.

It's okay, it's love, it's more than just a love story. Sure, it's not the tale of the greatest love ever, but the focus on mental health, and how to treat people that suffer from mental problems, are the main focus of this drama, that doesn't fail to capture the interest from the very first episode and keep it up till the end. The stories tangle up into this thrilling drama, that explores the issues of the mental illnesses. And the message that leaves us is loud and clear : people with mental illness have to be treated as equals. The background of each character is interesting and it's being explored throughout the series, till the last episode, which was more about the closure of the love story, than anything. But, still, the background stories are the ones that support this drama, along with the good performances. I may add that to the list of the issues that It's okay, it's love, handles the domestic violence, that is presented constantly. Now, for the love story, it's not that good, though the chemistry between the two characters isn't that bad. I think that it's just that they are not that comparable, the cold doctor and the play boy, though they do find common ground through their mental issues. Finally, the supporting stories are okay, but not that good. But the soundtrack was great, and it was just what the scene needed some times.

3 Nen A Kumi: Ima kara Mina-san wa, Hitojichi Desu is a roller coaster. Nothing is what it seems in this drama. The only thing that was concistant is Suda Masaki's performance. I never singled him out before as an actor, but in this one he trully proved to be a great actor. It seemed like he even lost weight for this role. The rest of the cast were good as well.
Now, for the story: it was fast paced and full of twists, sespence and action scenes. However, some scenes were repeated towards the ending. And the story reminded me of the anime assassination classroom for the first episodes. But, overall it was quite a thrill and with powerfull performances.

Mr Sunshine is a long ride. 24 episodes long, with a massive plot, great performances and a tragic ending, this one is not one of the usual fluff k dramas. Now, I'm only a bit familiar with Korean history, so I'm not sure if this drama was historically accurate. But if you don't mind your dramas to be kind of fictional and you like to focus on the current story that you are watching, then you won't be disappointed with this drama.
However, even though the story was good and very impressive, the drama had a slow start. It felt like it was dragging on for the first half. In the second half, fortunately, it picked up. The action scenes were more plenty and the plot thickened. Kudos for the ending as well, as it was bold to conclude things like this.
Moreover, the performances were excellent from all the actors and they were many many characters in this drama, so it was harder to pull off concistant performances from all of them. One thing that bothered me though, was the constant changing of the language of the dialogues throughout the drama. But that might not bother everyone.
Finally, the costumes and settings were really good and felt original and well made. Though the soundtrack wasn't that impressive, it suited the drama's mood well enough.
So, overall, 7 out of 10.

Not Good Enough

Japanese Movie '' Kazoku '' is a drama that blends multiple stories of four men and their families.

The movie has a brilliant cinematography, with smooth shots and nicely handled light and shadows. The sharp editing also helped with the story's mood, with some scenes bringing to mind home movies.

On the other hand, the movie suffered a lot due to its short length. As it is a film about four different characters and their families, a one hour and twenty minutes run time is too short for the stories to develop properly and for the message to come across. Thus, the whole film felt like a music video, with half-baked storylines; storylines that had so much potential, especially Kenji's and Takeo's.

Finally, the performances were enjoyable and really strong by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, four out of ten.

Good Enough

Korean Drama " My Dearest part 2" is the second part of the popular tv series, giving the story a proper ending.

The drama is a turbulence of a story, with a melodramatic plot with many twists. However, this time around, they tended to repeat things and plot twists. They also focused too much on the palace politics and deprived screen time from other main side characters, thus, leaving their stories half baked.

Still, the story was enjoyable and the ending just right for the mood of the drama.

The performances, finally, were great by everyone.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Good Enough

Korean Drama " Celebrity " is a thriller makjang ish drama.

The story is pretty intriguing at first, with masterfully handled pace and flashbacks, as the story is orchestrated in a way as to keep things interesting and the audience wanting more in order to solve the mystery.

However, after a strong start, the progress and development of the story got messy and lazy. The romance, moreover, was just too forced and could have been omitted. The twists were predictable as well and the characters annoying.

The cinematography was impressive though. Lush and glossy, with some darkness lurking underneath it.

The performances, finally, were enjoyable.

So, overall, five out of ten.
