This movie comes right after season one and season two of the dramas with the same name and it continues the story where the season two left it. Honestly, it was better than the second drama. The action scenes were better, the music was better, and the story was more interesting. Sure, there were some action movie cliches, but overall, the choreography of the fights, the settings, even the costumes, as well as the performances, were all excellent. However, you do need to have watched the dramas to know what is going on.

A short web drama that manages to present the course of a relationship in such a short time. The cinematography and the way they choose to present the story, was interesting an innovating. The story, though, wasn't anything much. It was knid of original, with that ending, but overall it wasn't neither exciting nor intense. The performances, nevertheless, were good from both leads. However, as it was too short, there weren't really any side stories and the story focused on the couple, and thus, the story was fortunately nicely presented.

Global Playlist is really trying out new plot lines!! This one follows the adventures of an office worker, as she matures in her new position in a company. She was really cute and sweet as a character overall. And her performance was really good. The rest of the cast were top notch as well. Actually, my only complain about this one was the ending. Not that it wasn't satisfying from the office life prospective, but they never concluded the romance. If they didn't want to focus on her love life, then why present us with such a sweet love story??

A dark drama with a heavy concept. So, who was the real criminal here? The stalker who "abdacted" the girl or the parents, the teacher, her classmates? This drama makes you think a lot about right and wrong and how grown ups can destroy the personality of a little kid. Other than that, the performances were really good, especially from the two leads. However, the teacher character was overplayed and he ruined the atmosphere of this drama for me. Finally, the ending was kind of confusing and tragic at the same time.

Star next door is okay for a movie with comedy parts, but I wouldn't call it a comedy. The mother daughter dynamics were more like older younger sister dynamics, as the celebrity didn't act as a mother. Rather she was immature and kind of irrational at first. Things got better towards the end, though they didn't give us a full explanation on why everything happened back then. Also, at first, it was hard to understand that the celebrity in question was the girl's mother and not her sister or something. But, overall, it was enjoyable.

Okay, it wasn't THAT bad, but it still was too mainstream for me. Sure, I love a good romance, but even so the story had so many potentials to develop and get a good twist here and there, however that never happened. Maybe the fact that the love story was a bit weak or that the chemistry between the couple was so-so, bored me. I mean, when did the teacher fell for her? Shouldn't they have shown us at least that? He can't just steal her away and propose to her out of the blue! Anyway, like I said, the story had potential. Clearly the girl had some issues, as she kept touching her ear every time she talked to someone or she feasted her hand when she was nervous (or ate donuts when she was sad). If only the film had made the effort to explore the girl's mental world better and not focus only on the relationship, maybe then the movie would have some depth and would have been more interesting. Finally, what I liked about this movie: the performances were okay and the way her cousin handled things were interesting. So, 3 out of 10.

I was really looking forward for another drama with Kyungsoo, who was really good in his other works. Plus, Bo Gum was an additional bonus, as he can really adapt to his role and he plays the childish roles really well. However, the drama felt a little stiff, as it got stuck into boring plot twists. The background story was interesting; a guy returns to Korea in order to find his brother, who had been kidnapped by their father's killer. However, the drama was almost like a medley of Dexter and the mentalist, with a genius man who ends up working with the police tries to find the serial killer that harmed his family. The killer's shots in the prison were annoyingly repeated over and over in each episode. In addition, the drama was tiring and boring, and the romance was really weak. So, 4 out of 10, only for the good performances of the two actors mentioned.

Maybe I'm being too generous towards this drama and I'm giving it a 3.5 out of 10. Because there were too many down sides about this drama. First of all, the story: a girl, who's a vampire, tries to hide her true identity in her high school. That's season 1. Season 2 is about the same characters, only they are now living in the past. After that, we move on to the last season (each season is about four episodes or so, as the drama has only 12 episodes!). In the 3rd season, we are back in the modern world. Okay, the concept was good. I particularly liked the second and the third season (well, half of it), as they were quite interesting. The first season felt too rushed, and, as I was ignorant to the fact that the drama was divided into three seasons, I was surprised that the story was concluded in episode 3! An other thing that didn't work for me, was the band concept. I thought it was childish and too unrealistic, not that they weren't talented, but to get to be idols?? In addition, the performances were so so. The female lead wasn't good, especially in the first season, but got a little better towards the end. The second male lead was surprisingly good, and I liked his story and his whole appearance of this bad boy vampire. The male lead was good as well, but that was expected. The costumes were really nice, and, surprisingly, the special effects were realistic enough. So, 3.5 out of 10.

So, I've made it so far (12 episodes) and finally I convinced myself that it wasn't worth my time (plus way too many and more interesting dramas were out too). Radio Romance came out in a period when only few dramas were out and probably one or two of them worth watching. And with a cast full of stars, you kind of being forced to watch it. But, the first episode said it all. The pace too slow, the performances so so, the story boring, the romanct weak. When the background story kicked in, I told myself that this was it, the drama was taking off finally. Alas, that never happened. Turned out, that twist was boring too. Okay, the whole drama wasn't as terrible, but, for me, it's a drama that I wouldn't recommend.

Student A is an odd movie. First of all, the cinematography was wierd. Not when it came to the whole gaming universe, but the overall shots were filmed oddly. Also, the story got a bit odd as well at some point and they didn't explain why that happened. Nevertheless, the performances, especially from the leading lady, were really good and the story was interesting and dark. Unlike what the description provide as information, the plot presented some hard aspects of a teenager's life, like her father abusing her or being bullied at school. So, overall, 6 out of 10.

Good Enough

" Theater : A Love Story " is an ambitious movie.

Filmed as a theater play and narrated by the main lead, it shows the love but catastrophic relationship between two people who kept the plug on the relationship way too long. And, honestly, their good times were far less than their bad ones. The male lead was self distractive, dragging the girl down with him. The latter could have done better, but, apparently, she just didn't see the harm that she was receiving from him.

So, on that aspect, the movie was great, as it presented a more realistic take on a love story. However, while watching it, it felt like something was missing. Had it be the lack of intimacy between them (they looked more like roommates than lovers), a climax to their toxic relationship, or a burst from the female lead, the whole film felt that it was moving on an andante pace and without a proper introduction or pre-phase to the events that were happening.

That said, the leading lady was hands down, the best thing that the movie had to offer. Not that Kento didn't do a great job in this one, but she was just delightful, emotional, entertaining, relatable, and just amazing when it came to her performance. Also, the ending was brilliant and masterfully handled.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" No Longer Human " had two elements that worked great : the cinematography and the performances.

The lead actor was amazing, with a top-notch performance and flawless acting. The rest of the cast did great as well, as expected from a stellar cast of notable and popular actors and actresses. However, the movie had too many characters that were overlooked, and overshadowed by the main ones.

Another factor that the movie handled perfectly was the cinematography. From the scenery with the flowers, mount Fuji, the cherry blossoms, to the era-appropriate settings and costumes. The camera work was brilliant and the overall result was just like reading a book.

However, the story was weak. Even though it is based on the popular and renowned book, the movie felt like it was focused on the main hero and his love for women. The ending was a bit confusing with the final scene simply erasing what had happened to the rest of the sequence. So, storywise, the movie didn't handle the material as well as they did with the cinematography and performances.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo " was okay in the beginning, but got way too cliche towards the ending.

First of all, the medical cases were pretty good. Sakura, the female lead, was a good nurse, as she cared for her patients and she did the effort to get to know them and specifically assist in their needs. The medical cases themselves were interesting and, some of them, very emotional. However, they got less and less towards the end, as the drama focused more on the couple rather than their profession.

Now, for the love story, at first, it was okay. The male lead was enough cold and "evil" to keep things interesting and create strong dynamics with the female lead. However, straight from the start, she came over to him, claiming that she loved him (even though they met once in the past) and in a way demanded that he should love her back, or date her. And the most annoying thing of all was that everyone actually had the same opinion and kind of pushed her to keep pursuing him like that. So, that approach felt too extreme and just not okay overall. But, passed that, the romance was a bit rushed at some point. Like, they were trying to fit it in while the medical cases took place. Still, that wasn't a deal-breaker. However, the drama started getting cringy towards the end. Especially the last episode was way too cheesy, using many of the well known tropes. Now, the drama was based on a manga, so keeping that in mind, it can be excused for some of the plot choices. However, the story was not well presented, and, as a result, the drama seemed too cringy.

In any case, it was light and kept things entertaining for a good part of it. But, I wish that they had time to develop the other couples too. So, overall, because the performances were good from everyone in the cast, and Sakura was cute, 4 out of 10.

I really wanted to like He is psychometric. However, even from the very first episode, things seemed a bit slow and boring. The story itself sounded interesting, however the execution killed it.

So, the first part of the drama was really tiring to watch. We were introduced to the characters and the main hero's past story and abilities. And then, the drama jumps into the future, where the two leads meet again, under different positions this time. The development of the romance took place during that time. But, the romance was weak and didn't have the strong vibes that it needed to keep the interest high.

The best part was when the mystery started being revealed. The serial killer and the backround stories were interesting and entertaining. However, to reach that point you have to go through the boring first part unfortunately.

Finally, the performances were good, especially from the second lead.

So, 4.5 because this drama could have been really good, but the execution didn't help it thrive and it just ended up being another boring drama.

Maybe I was expecting too much from Extreme Job, due to the hype it created. However, I wasn't impressed. That said, Extreme Job isn't a bad movie. The team of actors that concist the police force was great, with chemistry as well as excellent performances. The plot was interesting at first, with the chicken restaurant and its success, but didn't stray away from the classic police comedy movies. The jokes, however, were good; at least, most of them were. Finally, I enjoyed the conclusion of the movie, with the action scenes being top notch.
