Plot :
It's a bit slow for me. It is so-so until its last few episodes, since I feel the need to anticipate how they untangle everything. The cause of her curse (being tasteless) is interesting for me. It jumps from comedic relief to drama to mystery to a bit thrilling moments. I think we should have no problem about it (fast forward button exists). I don't think I'm a fan of winery industry, but again, it's not really a big deal. It's fascinating enough to actually be exposed about new things.
Acting/ Cast :
Everyone is good. I just freaking LOVE OUR MAIN COUPLE THE OTHER COUPLE & EVERYONE I'M JUST FILLED WITH LOVE. I LOVE SONG YIREN SHE IS SO CUTE TOGETHER WITH SIMON! I'm—
I would love to see them again in another project. Simon's transition of character, I love it. He isn't expressionless, he's not monotonous. They look so comfortable with each other I SHIP SO MUCH *sigh* I love how everything is delivered well that I can feel the closeness btwn the main characters. Male characters in dramas ususally act cold & sometimes it makes me, as a viewer doesn't feel their chemistry on screen. But this one, my heart sometimes leapt lol I anticipated their scenes together in every episode.
I will definitely re-watch it (with a fast forward button, of course). I don't think my heart can take it, the fact Simon will be in another project with others because, Lu WeiXun & He BuZui are one of the best on screen couple!

I'm a changed woman
Why did I just find this now? I'm so skeptical about Chinese dramas. It's a rare occasion for me to actually enjoy and finish them. (Note : I dislike childhood/school/teen tropes). I can't believe I completed this series in one night. Thanks to random YT moments I found this heart-warming, heart-fluttering yada yada series. I love Because This Is My First Life hence, this is an easier version and definitely a call for a binge.The plot was average with cliché tropes but it is nicely done like, I'm so satisfied with the scenes and its development. Well-blended and logic with no dramatic or weird moments; just I found everything (including the awkwardness between the characters) was so cuteeeee. It is totally fun, and Zhang had so many random hilarious moments. Their chemistry are amazing and their relationship was purely delicate.
I like Yun Shu tho she had dumb moments but the actress was naturally adorable! Zhang was always persistent with his effort to love his wife; I'm so touched *here's your best husband trophy, Mr Zhang*. Plus, the fact they communicated very well to avoid continuous misunderstanding put me in a comfort.
Overall, I totally recommend this as your top binge. A light, fluttering, almost perfect fun show.

Masaki Suda is so fine, like he is one of the best actors in his generation. An excellent performance by him is expected! He pulled of Hiiragi's character very well. As usual Japan dramas actors (even minor acts) do a great job to make the drama alive.
I will totally highly recommend it!

Domestic Suspense
If you are a fan of domestic suspense/thriller, you can give a shot to this.Aishuu Cinderella is like a little fusion/mix of what I've read in some domestic psychological suspense/thrillers. Anyway, they kind of wasted the potential of this movie to be one of the best domestic psychological suspense writings by putting too much on the main characters' relationship development (in the first half). It was indeed intense later on but the suspense build up also felt too short. I wish they showed more on changes in Koharu and the craziness of others. It was like a rush character development. It fall anticlimactic towards the ending.
Nevertheless, the acting performances were superb. Both mains are spectacular in their previous works and the child actor was great too. At one point, our blood may boil lol.
The sounds used were intense too. It suited the creepy, tension concept.
Overall, it is still an enjoyable movie for me. A bit anticlimactic but it didn't disappoint as a whole.

Self acceptance brings the best version of yourself.
This show has its own potential to carry its main theme; self acceptance/self love to the fullest. But I wasn't interested in their teen romance plot. It's stopping my momentum to like this show as a whole.I love the main issue centred on this show which is beauty standard (for me). It ranges from privileges, inner beauty to public acceptance/stigma/standard on physical scars, plastic surgery etc. Short but better than solely focusing the romance plot.
Another thing I like from the show is the male leads characters. They came out as nice, non-toxic high school boys. I certainly experienced 2nd lead syndrome; Sora being teasingly playful but a comfort is his ultimate charm. But I also got it why it should be Keigo. Optimistic and sometimes clumsy Keigo has dynamics with Manaha. Nevertheless I'm not invested in their love story.
I also enjoy the progress of Manaha accepting herself. I mean, it was utterly ridiculous to see people talking about her scar like she brought some deadly diseases. If she was treated like that, how about me? Nevermind. Anyway, she was this extremely polite and nice kid with reactions like, you know how typical female characters in japanese shows are written but she knew her worth. On another note, Riko portrayed Manaha very well.
Their beauty contest school culture bugs me lmao must be a hassle to be in the school; either as a student or a teacher.
Overall, the show is not my favourite but it might be up to your liking if you enjoy true beauty or id gangnam beauty.

Ethics?
Honestly, I rather invest myself in japanese slice of life/thriller/mystery shows set in school. They could be dark but at the same time, it reflected the modern society. As for this drama, I was intrigued by the title. Ethics? I rarely found my experiences with Ethics or Philosophy lessons to be interesting but I decided to give a shot because teaching and learning is my field. I expected a darker side of school's environment, but turned out, it was very relatable.The drama has no major plot; it mainly focused on the ethics students' real life chunks and how Takayanagi approached them using philosophy which also contributed to his growth as an Ethics teacher. I personally think we can get to know more on each character's life especially Takayanagi but they probably had limitations on screenplays (who knows) since jdramas have been 8-10 episodes only. It has so many potentials to be elaborated as a solid and complete drama as a whole.
My knowledge on Ethics Education is very limited so I cannot simply judge the lesson contents delivered in this drama. Nevertheless, I like the dialogue session. I'm not a person that opens to a discussion or small talks hence I didn't apply this strategy in teaching but I guess this method is applicable and meaningful to Ethics. It was brief but it did spark interests; at least for me.
I love Takayanagi although I always go against the smokers lol. I would have loved Ethics too. He showed another side of an educator; calm and seem hard to be approached yet with the best comforting words and presence. Quite an inspiring personality to me. Also, I love other characters too especially Aizawa. She has been bold and I like her learning spirit. Similarly, Taniguchi in the first episode stole me with him being a comedic relief. I originally found his intention to be a teacher is pure, it reminds me of my reasons to be one, although we were in a different boat.
Overall, as a person who likes to relate and reflect, I enjoy this drama. I learnt a lot!

An alright drama.
This is an alright drama. You can binge-watch it after a tiring day. Less conflicts, less misunderstandings and no complex plot. If you were seeking for a complex plot and wonderful character developments, this is not for you.Major plot is non-existent for me which I have no problem with it. I actually like this kind-of-drabble story because I need a light entertainment. Cringed? Yes. But I have seen too much over-the-top cringe romances lol
However, in term of characters, I didn't find myself invest emotionally on them. Yeah, the chemistry was there and really great but their characters were a bit off. Neither I love nor dislike.
Overall, it was fine in term of a quick watch. Since people brought this along with Coffee & Vanilla, I would say at least I managed getting thru this than Coffee & Vanilla.

The actings done by main leads are superb. I'm satisfied with Yoon Gyun Sang the most. Very comical and extra. Despite of the leads' age gap, I think they are super adorable I swear I was smiling widely. I was hesitant at first to start this drama due to the age gap issue but how could you not adore Yoon Gyun Sang?! Note that Kim Yoo Jung is so pretty like, we have known her for a long time but Yoon Gyun Sang is kinda new to me. It didn't take time for me to instantly love him, not your typical South Korean male leads—he is more to charming side imo and I'm not complaining ((here's a bundle of my loves bro <3)). They are cuter in addition to its behind the scenes. Chemistry really saves a romance drama.

I have to agree on L's overdone acting but heyyy at least he gets better (I really dislike idols in dramas but nevermind tho). Shin Hye Sun is superb, you will cry together with her. I still think this is another waste of drama project for her. The chemistry is hella fine, I pretty much enjoyed the break through of bad boys getting the girls, like finally, we have another story of a nice guy from the start to the end.
I guess the writer met his/her writer's block. The drama is average.

Dropped but recommended!
Dropping romance dramas are my habit. I'm rating it since I think it is quite a pleasant cdrama for me. It is just I'm lazy to finish it.As for plot, it was okay. The way it was executed was nice and funny because the actors can act very well. No overdone or trying hard. They are naturally fun and entertaining. The additional background sounds were great; the scenes became funnier!
As for characters, I have no worries. The chemistry was there. They are great. One of cdramas with no stiff acting. Everyone has the quality.
Overall, recommended to those who love romantic comedy. I'm not really a fan of this genre but this is pleasant to be watched.

Not a psychopath apologist but damn it writer-nim!
I love the plot. It spins my head plus I enjoy reading other viewers' theories/thoughts throughout the airing of Mouse. It was fast-paced at the first half which made us want to know what the hell was going on. The second half was more detail-oriented and focused more on that one main character which may lead to the growth of others but going through its ending, it actually made sense. Choi Ran wrote the ending of Mouse better than Black (probably because Black was more into fantasy and quite illogical). Overall, it set a good standard for an anti hero thriller. A heartbreaking closure!The performance by every actor was phenomenal. Like, one of the best line-up starting from the main characters to side characters. Oh Bong Yi (Park Joo Hyun) was great, I love her despite of her status as a newcomer.

Reunion went wrong.
It is actually a well-crafted story. There is a build up tense, an unreliable main character who got pressured a lot, stupid best buds concept and trust issues due to guilt-tripping.Things started to jumble up after Yosuke attending a high school reunion where he met his trio best buds. They came with a plan to gang up their old teacher who punished them during high school. The plan went smoothly until the teacher was founded dead. The best buds began to suspect each other. Yosuke thought he knew his best friends well but then he realized there were more things waiting to be unfolded.
Yosuke was a messed-up character. He experienced too much guilt due to his past. And yes, his friends were definitely more problematic. As the story goes, you can't trust anyone. They were the antagonists. Everyone acted their parts well. If you are rooting for good acting by brilliant actors, this one worth a shot. Kiichi and the female flirtatious teacher will make your blood boils.
I probably had guessed where things had gone wrong but I enjoyed the mystery and suspense.

I have never feel so single
This is perfect for someone who wants to binge a cute fluff series. No villains, no unnecessary dramas. It exists to entertain my single heart *cries in lonely*It's a typical marriage without love drama but don't worry. It took only 2 earlier episodes of them getting together and the rest episodes were some cute marriage challenges for newlyweds. It is really simple but I LOVE IT. It reflects the importance of communication between spouses.
The actings were good. No overdone and Ami chan was so cute! The actress, Matsui Airi really managed the cute character by flashing her million dollar smiles. And of course the main characters' visuals are so appealing. Sparks everywhere; their chemistry is very sizzling and also the main guy, Itagaki Mizuki was only 20? Damn good looking son. I'm sold.
Recommended for a quick binge and heart fluttering moments. I rarely rewatch dramas but extra point to this because I definitely rewatch it.

The appeals;
— Visuals! The leads are attractive!
— The girls! The girls are the best. I love Sasa so much. She's cool, the best bff you could ever dream of.
— It is almost no real evil person here. It still has one or two, nevertheless, it brings in a comedic way.
—Close to You as the background song. Good choice, it 's so dreamy.
Ugh moments
— Draggy. I've skipped a lot that I thought I should ask someone to edit important parts to be watched.
—Chemistry. The leads have so much potential to be seen as one of the best couples on screen but its screen play sucks so bad they only get the justice at this very last episode. Like, for real? They should have been something by episode 15 or something.
—I dont know anything apart every limited fluttery moment with Close to You as the background song.
It's an achievement to finish this.

Who made this one episode per wek rule? We need to talk.
Imitation is an idol setting drama so I was skeptical because I'm avoiding anything featuring high school romance or idols setting.But hold on.
I knew I had to at least try an episode because Jun was in it. He was really good in Class of Lies. I believe he was good in his other projects too. In addition, Jung Jiso is not an idol. It's a plus point for me to see real actors/non idols in an idol drama.
Plot : I like the cramped plot. I tolerate the drama better than the webtoon. More sense and realistic. Clearly shows the ugly side of South Korea entertainment. I used to be in the fandom culture so it is relatable. Screenplay can be elaborated more for characters' depth and developments.
Acting : It is fine. There are bunch of idols and I put less expectation anyway. If you were watching dramas for high quality acting, this is not for you. It is mediocre as a whole. Nevertheless, I like the main casts. For me, Jun & Jiso were still shy around each other so you don't see any sizzling chemistry but the innocent polite type of chemistry between them. The same damn feeling when I watch soft jdramas.
Music : Goodness. The production gave all out for this drama and blessed me with tons of great songs; also great voices like Ria and Maha. Jiso is surprisingly so talented. Not to forget "Finally now, it's my time" line remains iconic to me.
Overall, it is a decent idol drama. Perfect for a binge too!
