What's new from the Korean remake?
As someone who has watched the original or the Chinese film in the same title which was basis of this remake, the key difference I have seen was it was more intimate in portraying their friendship as it gave more platonic aspects. Also, the timeline in their lives were more established and clearer in the Chinese film rather than the Korean remake that's why some were confused what happened when Misoo and Haeun were apart or what's the real story from the blog site and on what truly happened.Nonetheless, the emotions even the ending was there which was not far from the original. Still, I highly recommend that you watch the Chinese film since it was more dramatic from how different the two women lives were and how their bond remained strong over the years. I know some of you will say that the remake could make itself different from the original, however, the Chinese film was so good that I can't help but to compare them.

Sudden Adulthood
You'll eventually got hooked on the first episodes of this drama because it will give you two different scenarios, Yi-jin, a young man who needs to be a grown-up, and Hee-do, a dreamer who would not stop to achieve her fencing goal.The series talks about the carefree teenage life while someone is not prepared to be an adult yet. A so-called prodigy fencer who cannot go away from the slump and the other is a star but her career costs a fortune for someone who is not wealthy.
It is a great mix of different challenges since the Taeyang squad has their own battles. Overall I'm contented how this series end because it is just realistic between two lover whose career and priorities clashes.
I really recommend you to watch it, it gives another throwback drama!!!

Mature relationship does not take overnight
If you are a spectator that wants instant comeback to every break-ups, then this might not be for you but it's worth the wait.This is definitely a slow-burn romance drama that deals with how Yeon-su and Ung finds each other again after an awful and sudden break-up from a long-term relationship that started after filming a hit summer documentary. What I got hooked into this drama is how you see each characters grow from their own wounds, shallow to deep ones.
At first, it might seem to be just a childish misunderstanding that resulted to parting ways but a long the way, trust me it is more than that. I know how cute and adorable they were after the documentary that with will made you wonder, "what went wrong?"
The drama did not also neglect to include the problems that could arise in a relationship—what it feels to be in an unrequited or forbidden love. Some may also experienced these when they fell in-love that made the drama more relatable.
The director and writer really displayed a deep narrative on what a pure love away from a sexual representation. I'll definitely recommend this since it's been a while since I've watch a soft romance drama but watch out you might be hopeless romantic after.

You don't choose your country when you are born
We all know how this drama was anticipated for a year and almost put into stop when it was broadcasted but this drama is more of the romance between Yeong-ro and Soo-ho but a real deal in governance.When I watched the first few episodes, it made me feel I'm watching a movie that made me appreciate its production.
I won't dive too much on its historical and sensitive plot since I'm not knowledgeable about it but how the writer and the director able to show the struggle of hierarchy and power-tripping throughout the hostage-taking situation definitely provided a more deep understanding on the clash of ideologies—dictatorship and soft authoritarianism. So yes, the hostage-taking will last long.
In terms of the romance between Yeong-ro and Soo-ho, there are times that I don't feel that there were 'sparks' in their scenes together because of the chaotic and horrible situation they were in so I think that flashing skinships does not help to make the tension light enough. Also, some hidden backgrounds and flashbacks made a difference in the drama but others just becomes a supplement rather than a twists because it's predictable.
Overall the an hour and a half episodes was enjoyable so might give this drama still a try.

Karma is a btch
I have high expectations for this drama after watching its trailer that immediately captured my curiosity but still it is a high school-themed zombie series so that ended my expectations.The production and its CGI effects are definitely not a cringe-worthy, you could really see the dedication in delivering a worth to be watched zombie kdrama in a Gen Z era so might as well list your survival tips.
Compared with other zombie kdramas, the story is too hopeless. Your survival depends on how you act, it must be good ofcourse. This drama could be a great example in taming ones' human nature in facing a human extinction like a zombie apocalypse. That one should think of the others rather than a selfish survival.
Nonetheless, it was good to be watched for a first round but would not go binge-watch again.

RomCom feel-good is back!
Yes it is again your typical dating contract story but it is more than that!Finishing the first episode will set your anticipation and love for this drama. I surely loved the push-and-pull between Kang Tae-mo and Shin Ha-ri. The intimacy between Young-seo and Sung-hoon. The comedic vibes of Team 1 researchers.
The comedic side will surely make you laugh rather than cringe. I salute the actors and actresses especially Se-jeong for doing great with facial expressions. She delivered it really well!
Overall the drama is beyond the cliche impression, it is definitely funny and butterflies in your stomach drama! 2017 Kdrama RomCom series is resurrected!!!

'Anyone can be a victim'
Now I get why this drama is said to be underrated because its first episode did not disappoint.This might a fresh plot for law-related dramas since it sheds light on the juvenile cases or delinquency. How crimes committed by young offenders are something to still be tolerated rather than be corrected from the start.
You might hate Judge Sim for being a maxim court judge and her skeptical attitude but going through the episodes you will know why her personality is vital in keeping the courthouse impartial.
This drama really talks about the pressing issues on adolescence, the conditions or household that pushes them and facilities that rectify their mistakes.
I recommend you to watch it and learn from it that having a child is a responsibility for anyone who chose to have them.
