Mr.queen is a MUST watch drama!!!
This is one of a kind historical drama. and I should say it's been such along time since I watched such a good historical drama.From the acting to the production to the script , everything is just perfect. 20 episodes and you won't feel time passing by.
Usually dramas that starts with comedy tend to end up not being so hilarious until the end. But Mr.queen managed to maintain the humor along with the suspense and the thrill. The story is light but you will find yourself laughing, cringing and at times even crying. This is a drama that will definitely keep you at the edge of your seat until the very end.
This drama brings out various emotions and mixed feeling and explore an area in historical dramas that were never explore before.
And as always actress Shin Hye Sun did an amazing job and so did the rest of the cast. Plus the OST!!!loooved it!!

You NEED to watch this!
I started watching this without many expectations and but I got hooked up from the very first episode!! I thought the story was dumb, a boss locked inside a phone?!! And I wasn't very satisfied with the casting line up BUT the drama told F*UK U in so many ways!!The cast had very good chemistry, from the lil baby girl to the evil witch in the story!! an absolute best performance!! The story basis is very simple, a jobless guy finds a phone with a CEO of an AI company stuck inside, and the jobless guy becomes the temporary CEO overnight and starts to investigate to what happened on the day his boss disappeared with the help of his secretary and a bodyguard. The three musketeers go on an adventure to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of their missing boss.
The story is simple but it was written with perfection with no loopholes, keeping the suspense until the very end and was perfectly delivered by the cast.

Not what you will expect!!
I started off as -_- ... thinking this was just one of those "educational" dramas about traffic accidents. But before I knew it, I was on pins and needles waiting for the next episode!!!Absolute genius writing from the writer. It started off as simple Traffic cases but embroiled beneath numerous cases is one giant case waiting to be revealed and brought to justice.
I just love how everything was revealed step by step while keeping the suspense.
The acting. no doubt is the best and the cast managed to give a very heartwarming team.
This is one of those really good dramas, that you would come without much expectations but will get blown away and I LOVE it!

This is one of the best Nam Goong Min drama.
I'm standing on an empty road all by myself. The sun is shining brightly. and the clock that's never wrong says that it's 12. Then I wonder to myself. "Is it noon or midnight?"To me, this is one of the best Nam Goong Min drama. I got goosebumps while watching this drama. the suspense, the thrill... absolutely catching. One thing I love about this drama is how do Jung woo's every word is a hint to solving the next step in the mystery. the drama is perfectly written and delivered well by the actors and actresses. But i should say that I thought it will end with a bang but instead, it just ended with a whiff of smoke. Although the ending was understandable for a thriller like this i wished there was more to it. but i guess it's okay. Worth the watch.

Unpopular opinion - This drama doesn't deserve the hype it's getting.
First of all, I've been a fan of Shin Min Ah for years and I love her acting a lot.But I personally think this drama doesn't deserve the hype it's getting. The story is pretty lukewarm, nothing that keeps you hooked up to the story. This story reminds me of those 100+ episode weekend dramas, except they squeezed it into 16 episodes.
The story is laid-back, portraying the daily life of a rural village, and the string of events that takes place when a woman from the city comes to live in it.
The story is okay. The acting is better with a good cast. But it doesn't deserve all the hype it's getting.
I personally had a hard time watching it because it was too boring. I even skipped most parts and managed to finish one-hour episodes in 20 minutes. I didn't even feel like watching it at the end, but I did because I hate to do things half-ass and I was hoping things would get better but NO!! It doesn't!! It's boring until the very end.

Tale of the Nine-Tailed Season 2

100/10
This is an all-around 10/10 for me. Who needs romance dramas when u have a perfectly sassy gumiho??!! Trust me this is INFINITE times better than season 1. Honestly, I wasn't so impressed with season 1; the romance was too dull for me, and the only thing that piqued my interest was Lee Yeon's sexy hair and Kim Bum, who made a stunning comeback after a long time! So at first, I was even wondering why the hell they need a season 2. Hence, I started watching with a slight doubt BUT...... FK romance, romance played only a very small role but the action scenes, and the crazy friend trio was just PERFECT.If u ask me, just watch season 2 instead of watching season 1. From what I see, season 1 doesn't play a major role in season 2, the two seasons tell two different stories. You only need to know 3 thing,
1. Lee Yeon is a Joseon Mountain God who fell in love with a human woman. After she dies, he waited for her to reincarnate which she did in modern times. CUZ Foxes have only ONE mate for LIFE!!!
2. Lee Yeon has a brother called Lee Rang who dies in season 1 trying to save him, so LY feels guilty about it, plus they have a bro complex.
3. Lee Rang has a love-hate relationship with his brother, he thinks he was abandoned by Lee Yeon so he's kinda like a kid who's trying to throw tantrums at Lee Yeon trying to get his attention.
That's all u need to know from season 1 to watch season 2.

You are most likely going to get a stroke watching this.
If your planning to binge-watch this drama then good luck!! cuz calling this drama intense is an understatement. You are most likely going to get a stroke watching it. The story is very detailed with multiple things happening in one-time frame so at times it's even overwhelming to keep up with how fast this drama spans out. This drama basically is about uncovering the mentality of a psychopath, the topic is deep, and if your too empathetic you're most likely to end up feeling like a psychopath yourself at the end of the drama.The drama focuses mainly on the mystery and chasing after a psychopath, so there is no romance to talk about. although at one point they give us a taste of romance it's taken away unceremoniously before we can even enjoy it.
And a friendly piece of advice, while watching this don't try to guess who the psychopath is from the beginning, because whoever you think it is is probably not the one, and even if you do, the story is not gonna unfold the way you think it will. This is one of those dramas where you can't predict what's going to happen next because each and every plot twist is more creative than the one before.
The acting, production, and quality of the drama are top-notch.

Superb drama that will break your heart in so many ways.
This story is about a poor high school kid, who decides to swap his life with his wealthy friend with the help of a magic golden spoon. The transition between Lee Seung Chun and Hwang Tae Yong was pretty smooth without confusion and the story is heartbreaking in many ways.Honestly, although LSC became wealthy, the one who got the short end of the stick from this swap was also him. LSC loved his family so much and he couldn't handle seeing them suffer because of his incompetent dad, so he had to take things into his hands and decided to swap his parents with a rich one. But he felt guilty and lived with that guilt for over 10 years while looking at his family continuing to live happily with the HTY instead.
Why I say he got the short end of the stick was because the one who gained the most from the swap was HTY. He got two loving parents and no longer had to live in a stifling rich family. He could live however he wanted and he had LSC who was looking over their family like a guarding angel. Although poor he didn't have to suffer as much as LSC did when he was poor. And LSC lived that most dangerous 10 years for him and survived. Because if HTY had to live those 10 years, with his cowardly personality he would have been fertilized in some vineyard in a foreign country, with Seo Joon Tae behind his back. While LSC lived it for him and successfully made a comeback.
The overall story had lots of ups and downs and every moment was perfectly delivered by the cast, until the very end the writer kept us on the hook on who will end up as who. I'm not going to judge this drama because of the ending of this drama because overall it is really damn good. Because I didn't see that ending coming. It was abrupt and I kind of felt that all of LSC effort went to waste in just a few seconds. But also, I am glad he survived in some way or the other. So in a way, the ending had me conflicted but the story was superb and I won't let the ending make me feel bad in any way.
This drama is also a place we get to see, Yook Sung Jae in his sexy suit, making my heart melt in so many different ways. I would recommend anyone to watch this drama because each episode will keep you wanting to watch more.

In terms of acting, production, storyline everything is close to being perfect. The story of a simple love story of a fool On dal and a princess recreated into a powerful story about power and sacrifice. the story progress steadily and gradually. The battle scenes were exceptionally good and quite interesting to watch. In short, rationally speaking this is a good drama.About replacing Ji soo with Na in woo, although I initially found it disturbing but later came to the conclusion that Na in woo was a better choice after all and the actor did an amazing job of portraying our lead character on dal.
But truthfully the first thing that came into my mind by the 20th episode is "thank god it's finally over!!". For me, this is emotionally exhausting. River where the moon rises is about a fight between clans for the throne. In the midst of it is a princess who uses the love and devotion of her lover and wields it as a knife for power and personal revenge. Princess Pyeong Gang never cared for the people. instead, she used on dal and his entire clan for personal revenge and to keep her family in power. in the process not only on dal lost his mother but also many others, only for it to all end up with her a**hole of a brother to sit on the throne. To use peace for the 3 kingdoms as justification, the process was too acute to accept. I guess this is where the word ambitious princess comes in.
What was even more depressing is that while caught up in the power game she completely ignored On Dal on several occasions and refuse to notice his suffering. When he finally left is when she regrets it.
Here every character in the story is driven by a personal vendetta while sugar-coating it as love and sacrifice and I found this emotionally exhausting.

Disappointing
The most frustrating thing to see in a drama is to see a writer who fails a good cast.... a bunch of hard-working actors....The first two episodes started very promising and I was excited to see how they would spin the whole "frankly speaking" superpower. But then... the story starts spinning in a direction that is so absurd and crazy to the point that, I have never been disappointed in a writer as much as I have on the screenwriter of this drama.
It starts with an innocent and hardworking announcer being bullied at work by his superiors because he is too nice to be honest about his feelings and too nice to fight for his rights. So he has this super weird accident that made him speak honestly about what is in his head.... so what we normally would expect is that this announcer's life would turn better when he starts to be honest right??? BUT NOOOO!! He gets even more bullied when he starts to speak the truth to the point he quits the job!!
And so the story spins in the direction of this person, Song Ki Baek, joining a dating variety show, and then what happens??? we get to watch several episodes of a dating variety show!!!! How did that relate to his weird frankly speaking superpower???? almost little to nothing......And I was like....okay? a variety show?? That sounds fun...let's keep watching.....
And the story spins in an even crazier direction..... they introduce a first love that was not mentioned ANYWHERE before!! And I was like... okaay?? Hopefully, this will turn out to be interesting.... BUT!!! WAIT FOT IT!!! They suddenly spin off this "First love" into a jealous, obsessed bitch, who screwed off the entire production team and ran away to France!!!!!! ................Thats it!! THATS IT!!! And then her character just disappeared never to be seen again... At this point, I am like... wth......
But it doesn't even end there!! There is the female lead, On Woo Joo.. who came out with this dating variety show, which turned out to be a hit and was unceremoniously kicked out of the team by her boss without even THANKYOU! All because she joined the variety show herself to try to save the whole project in the first place!!!!! Does that make sense??!!!
Okay things do get even crazier! So the writer wants to patch up the estranged family situation with Song Ki Baek and his family, so you know what happened??? there was a DRAMATIC CAR ACCIDENT... mom in the hospital!! and then the family got much closer.......
Tell me which part of all this relates to one another??? Nothing!! The writer just randomly there out scenarios that make absolutely no sense, no story line, no nothing. It is okay if they went for a comedy, but this is NOT COMEDY!! this is not light comedy! This is not dark comedy! This is no Comedy!!

Weirdly Good
I find this drama weirdly good. It's unlike most exaggerated detective dramas, where the detectives go against the tide and challenge every villain they come across. This is more realistic and the detectives know when to stop. This is also because media wasn't a huge luxury in this period and investigations were not very advanced. I wouldn't say this is binge-worthy, but it is very relaxing, funny and intriguing in its own way.This is not a detective story focusing on one villain, instead each episode is about solving separate cases and all the episodes just vaguely relate to each other. It's like the difficulty level of each case level up by each passing episode and the detectives also level up in their competence in solving them. For example, the story starts with finding cow thieves and by the end, it's about putting kids of influential people in jail. But all is solved with appropriate seriousness and humour.
Lee Je Hoon's character in this drama is like a tone-down version of his character as "Taxi driver", with more smiley smiley faces. The bromance between the 5 detectives is just wholesome and funny and is a good reason to stick to the very end. All the actors and actresses did an amazing job and their chemistry was really good.
The set of this drama was particularly very noteworthy. The vibe it gives was just perfect for this period drama. And also the overall vibe is different from most detective dramas I have watched so far.

Missing: The Other Side 2

Missing village - level two
Missing: The Other Side Season 2 is like level 2 of season 1. S2 will be unlocking new mysteries and secrets into missing villages. Like S1, S2 will not disappoint you and will be as much a masterpiece as the 1st. There will be new characters that will do justice to this masterpiece but the main leads remain the same from S1.In this season, you will see, Kim Wook, Jang ajushi, Lee Jong Ah and Shin Joon Ho, team up to search for missing children mostly with the help of Oh Il Yong, who seems to be able to walk out of the village despite the fact that he is dead. The story is heartwarming and exciting in every way.
You will need to watch S1 to understand S2, both are masterpieces and will keep you on the edge to the very end.

This is an absolute must watch.
I've been wanting to write a review for this for a long time but I couldn't because I don't know where to start gushing about this drama. I absolutely LOVE LOVE this drama!! Each and every episode is worth watching.This is not your kind of typical revenge drama. In summary, this drama is about Li Chang Ge, who initially set out to get revenge from the Tang empire ended up returning as a guarding angel to it instead.
My most favorite part of the drama is the relationship development between the 2 main characters. From being friends to fellow comrades and finally, to lovers, the transition is absolutely beautiful!! In the beginning, Li Chang Ge is like a loose cannon leaving chaos in her path and our male lead ( Ashile Sun ) pretty much cleans after her and saves her ass at every corner. and together they make an invincible team with brain and brawn. And I like how the male lead has eyes only on Li Chang Ge, which is so cute!! This drama is about how these two lost souls finding solace and family in each other.
And my second most favorite part is the transition of Li Chang Ge. Initially, she was just blind to revenge but gradually she realizes that the lives of people are more important than her revenge which transformed into a guardian angel of both Tang and the grasslands together with Ashile sun. This is why this story takes a whole new turn into revenge drama.
For me, this drama is on par with other great dramas like the legend of Fuyao, princess agents, etc. From the casting to ost to costumes everything is perfect. With Dilraba, Leo Wu, Rosy Zhao the drama can't get any perfect, and their acting blows you away. especially Leo Wu. The OST and soundtracks in this drama are absolutely beautiful. I once saw this video about the making of the soundtracks and it made me realize how much effort they put into making them.
I read the manhua and I love both versions of the drama and the manhua!!
All in all, this is one of the best period dramas and an absolute must-watch.

A Hidden Gem
And here I thought Awaken was the best Namkoong Min drama...I was WRONG!!I would recommend watching this drama just for his amazing acting!! And I always feel sorry for his co-actors, especially the female leads in all his dramas because he always manages to steal the limelight of the show. (LOL)
There are some pretty badass female leads and the other co-stars also did an amazing job.
This drama is truly a hidden gem and needs more recognition.
It also has some pretty good OSTs too.
