The leads were just overall cute, they're very compatible to each other and i love it that their cuteness is not cringey. Minkyu's acting has improved a lot! He should be getting more drama love calls after this! i dont know if its just me, or maybe its part of the roles they're playing but the only problem for me was the bakery manager and the sister their expressions were too stiff and awkward they're like stones.
The songs they used in this drama were very pretty too! It matches the scenes very well! I was surprised they used The Man BLK songs in some of the scenes. Minkyu's OST was very good too, i love his voice so much, thank you for giving him a chance to showcase it in this webdrama! ~
Overall I give it a 7.5/10, the desserts that were featured were all too sweet and tempting, that i craved for dessert instantly!

As for the acting, Suho and the female lead were great in their roles. Suho suits the role of a famous singer, who's heart just became cold to things as he lived a boring life. Suho looks mature enough and is cold and rich enough for the role :D Suho is not my bias in EXO but he was so handsome and flawless in this drama that I might swerve into stanning him soon. He definitely has a talent in acting but he needs to work on it more. I also like the idea how they chose the female lead character someone not as famous but is great at acting and would complement Suho.
the OST is just so good as well plus they were original!
if you are looking for a short fluffy and romantic, with slight melo themed story this is highly recommended for you!! :)

I loved how they chose actors who really knew how to act, it definitely added more colour to the movie! The acting was definitely good unlike in Chinese dramas where the actors are stiff and awkward.

Loved the chemistry of the leads!
Story wise, it was new, cute, and interesting, but after reaching the middle of the series, I realized there isn't much drama and plot twist than I expected. The evil characters weren't so evil after all? The build up and writing from the start was so great it kind of ended flat for me.Although the ending was quite cute, I wished there was more!! I wanted to see more ahn bo hyun and his adorable acting (we need him in more romcoms!!) and shin hye sun. I really hoped our main leads and side characters had longer moments together, but too bad we only got 12 episodes for this one.
Chemistry of the leads and second leads were amazing for me, that it made this show enjoyable and worth watching.

Because This is My First Life
0 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
Basic and not so much memorable but this show was shockingly relatable, and sometimes even touching, that there are moments I cried my eyes out. Who knew a romance k-drama can be capable to have such meaningful plot like this?
It covers all the problems the working people the society are currently facing, from work, dating, relationships, friendships, family, marriage, and even housing, this show has it all.
Because This Is My First Life had the right casting, characters, and plot, but i don't know what it was, it got a bit slow and draggy for me in the middle. I think it was because it came to a point that there's already too much going on? What made me stick to this show was the curiosity of how Ma Sang Goo and SooJi's relationship will end up, I was rooting for them! All the other couples were cute too though!
Acting wise, everyone did so well especially Jung So Min, Lee Min Ki was still but i'm not sure if it is because his character required him to be one?
What we can get from this drama is that, love is not really found and given through big gestures, but in small ones like simply caring for another.
This might not be my favorite, but I enjoyed watching the show.

Also the fact that Netflix decided to cut each season of this show in half is also a reason to disappoint viewers by giving them an incomplete story!!
If not for the characters being so loveable and the actors remarkable I would have dropped this show. It was the RIO x TOKYO, and DENVER x MiSeon, and Professor x Inspector pairings that made me stuck wanting for more honestly. Netflix please give us the part 2 soon pls!!

they gave my emotions a roller coaster ride
One thing that I would like to compliment in this show is the plot. It was neatly written from start to finish that the story did not go astray and gave us exactly just what we needed from start to finish. The writer did not waste time delving with so much side stories, nor giving everyone background stories, but went straight to the point with the main character and his mission to take down the baddies in this drama. Although I must say, there are plenty of court scenes than necessary, the story also had enough plot twists that it kept me seated on my chair and toes, making the audience eager to find out more. It was so intense I went and finish the whole show in just two days!!Next thing I would like to comment on is the acting, and Yoo Seung Ho was just the perfect guy for the job! His emotions were delivered well, his crying scenes also made me cry. Park Min Young also did well as the Noona, and Nam Goong Min as the evil guy. He is just so scary when he's mad, that even the audience could feel his anger. I just think no one could ever top this line up of actors for the show. Everyone was perfect for their roles! <3
The OSTs were also nice, I liked them when listening to them separately from the show, but during the show itself I didnt think it was too memorable, since the drama was already intense, adding a few sad songs here and there didn't really stick out much.
9/10 overall, because I loved the show! The amount of romance, comedy, drama and seriousness for this show was just the right balance. I liked how everything was wrapped and resolved neatly at the end. Everything was almost perfect however, I think the writers could have given us a better ending than this. Our lead guy struggled and went through a lot of things for five years, they should have given him a happier ending, I also think the audience deserves a better closure after watching 20 episodes and playing with our emotions like that. T_T

Hana Nochi Hare: HanaDan Next Season
0 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
i love the casting for this drama!
Hana Nochi Hare is a sequel to Hana Yori Dongo but is a different story altogether, with the main characters having a bit hint of similar characteristics to the former leads but also different altogether. The characters for this sequel is what I actually love about the show, the leads and even the second characters are all adorable, and have nice personalities, that it is quite endearing to watch. Edogawa Oto has a kind, shy, and quite a loyal personality while Kaguragi Haruto is a rich but far from perfect guy who looks up to Domyoji as his role model, he is also clumsy at most times. My only problem was the other annoying side characters that seem really suspicious but their characters nor true intentions werent really elaboated in the story (mom, stepmom, dad).I like how they chose famous, and good looking actors as their cast too! I am especially crushing on Hirano Sho, Nakagawa Taishi, and Suzuki Jin!! I am shocked that Iitoyo Marie is also here! I watched Today's Kira-kun and she looks different. The actress who played Airi is also pretty and she's just so good with her role. The actors really pulled off their roles well and now i'm stuck to seeing them in their characters. I truly enjoyed watching them. ^^
The story is also interesting to watch! It is particularly the first few episodes that got me hooked with the show. The plot was smooth sailing with not much intense drama but still also has enough touching moments to make you cry and feel things. Like is said everyone was just too nice, which is what im used to but it gives you a warm and refreshing vibe. I love the development of friendship with Oto, Megumi, and Airi too! It was also nice that our female lead Oto is a girl who came from a rich family, she isn't loud, and is overall polite, kindhearted and proper. She also clearly knew whom she should be loyal to, and she never let go of the person until the end.
In summary, Hana Nochi Hare is a drama where you wouldn't mind who the female lead would really end up with because both men are deserving of her, they are also both handsome and are equally equipped with charming and amazing traits. We have Hase Tenma who is Mr. Nice + Capable and Kaguragi Haruto who is Mr. Passionate + Hardworker.
How I wish there are more episodes or like a Season 2!! After all the sacrifices they made I just want to see our leads and second male lead have a perfect happy ending.

I also like the chemistry of the leads and the acting of all the actors for this drama, is on the roof. Shin Hye Sun and Yang Se Jeong are like top stars who have received awards in their names and it shows. Everyone in this show are already veterans and have other several dramas already like: Lee Do Hyun, Jung Yoo Jin, and Yoon Sun Woo.
The pacing of this drama is also just right. I like how everything was just smooth sailing, without too much drama all the way until the end. Not having an annoying evil character was also a plus for me. The leads were already having a hard time as it is no it wasn't necessary anyway. The romance was also not too overly done, and I appreciate the scriptwriter for making it that way. At first I was wanting more romance from the leads but somehow I realized the way it was written was already perfect the way it is. The characters are cute the way they are since they are slowly growing, naturally the romance should also go by a slow pace. It also was nice how everyone got to face their problems and developed as a person in the end.
Overall, I highly recommend everyone who loves a slow paced spring-like dreamy drama, to give this one a try. We get to learn some things about life while watching this. It can cheer us up, in a tiring day of work, plus we can get some really good quotes to live by. So it is a 9.5/10 for me.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War
0 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
Kaguya-sama: Love Is War (movie) was all sorts of cute, funny, and quirky at the same time. I appreciate how it was fast paced and on the spot with the storytelling for an adaptation. Also the ending was not what I expected but it was well wrapped up so the whole show was made to be a very easy and entertaining movie to watch. The actors chosen for the characters were also good looking especially the ML and the FL so it is an added bonus and why you should watch it!!
I am familiar with the original anime of this show and have watched a few episodes so I could definitely see the similarity among the characters and the story line, but for the rest of the show and the ending I have no idea if it had the same ending, so I dont know whether some would like it or not. I must say though, props to the scriptwriters for doing such a great job with the adaptation! They have made this a good stand alone movie without leaving the original story, and an easy watch for those who haven't watch the anime version. 9/10!!
Highly recommend this movie for people who are looking for something cute, light, funny, with a bit of romance to watch it is definitely refreshing, enjoyable and worth your time. ^^

I ended up appreciating this drama a lot more for its very realistic portrayals of societal stereotypes, women, career, and relationship but most of all I loved it because of the three guys. The doctor was just as cute and sweet for her and Han Yi Sang was just so adorable to look at! Who knew he could be such a cutie, and could pull off a romcom! I want more of him please in cardigan and pastels! ^^
The OSTs were just amazing too, and I think it was able to help provide more emotions into the drama. I particularly loved and highly recommend Raindrops by CHEEZE, 별처럼 (Like a star) by Kwon Jin Ah, and Beautiful by Kim Sunggyu.
Overall, Oh My Baby is a good drama, but honestly, it could have been better so I rate it 8.5. For 16 episodes, the show got draggy in the middle because they have been talking about the same issues over and over again, and was not able to give us more. We could have been given more cute and sweet dating moments from our leads but no we weren't. For some, watching this would be kind of bland and lacking particularly to those people expecting and looking for a really quirky or funny romcom, as this one tackles more of a serious tone, like marriage and childbirth.

The story line was not something new in the k-drama world, but I liked how they were able to utilize the same formula and make it into a whole different thing. Everything in this drama is a lot calm, sweet, and heartwarming and not overly cheesy nor dramatic so its a lot easier and lighter to watch. I know most people find the ending of this drama bad, but for me its not really the case. It was roughly patched together, yes, like we were given several cuts of scenes that looked like it made sense but really didn't. Nonetheless, I appreciate how they made up for it and still gave us a nice, sweet ending that we want from our lead couple.
Honestly, the biggest asset of this drama were its casts. Everyone worked hard and executed well for this show! Also, I like how some of the characters were lively and were able to help lighten the mood and theme of the drama, such as Ha Kyung and Il Kwon, and the news director who was just such a great boss! Moreover, the chemistry of the leads just did its magic for this drama. No wonder why they say casting actors carefully is a huge factor, because it is what completes a good drama. Theirs was just crazy amazing that the drama sucked me in and kept me wanting more.
Kim Dong Wook looked like a real anchor-nim, and he looked like a super cute one too! The way his voice is so calm when speaking, and his smile just drove me nuts! His character definitely blended well with him, being sweet, patient and polite anchor-nim he is. >< Moon Gayoung was also so gorgeous in her role as an actress. The way both of them looked like a real life couple, was just the selling point! ISTG the age gap between the two didn't show at all! The way they smile towards each other, held hands, and kissed looked super real too.
Some of OSTs were just touching, heartwarmingly beautiful and blended well right into the background especially Jooyoung's 나의 오늘이 너의 오늘을 만나 which is now my favorite to go OST song when I need to reminisce the wonderful moments of this drama.
Overall, Find Me In Your Memory is the perfect spring-like dreamy drama that would warm the hearts of its viewers. The theme might not be for everyone particularly those who are looking for unique plot, fast paced development, and story line. This one is light and simple, slow paced, and focuses more on the romantic development of the lead couple. Giving this a try wouldn't be bad though, one might find them pulled in to this because the chemistry of the leads are just too difficult to turn away from!

The show started off a bit rough especially with the scenes being randomly cut here and there probably because they were trying to follow the original format, but the storyline was able to pick itself up in the middle till the end and I definitely liked what they did with the ending!
The actors particularly the leads were amazing! Their acting was spot on! I'm sure they could have even delivered it better if this were a drama than a movie. Just like the manga, Suda Masaki was just as endearing, and handsome to play the role of Haru, same goes for Tsuchiya Tao who played the character of smart girl Mizutani Shizuku.
Overall, My Little Monster was a nice, light and easy watch. If you like high school rom-com themed movies this one is definitely something that you should watch!

Unlike the former, this drama however, does not have much of a romance, but focuses more on school issues such as bullying, rumors, honestly, and friendship. After all, a good drama doesn't always have to have romance in it!
The Guilty Secret is interesting as it is not cheesy nor cliche, and is a more refreshing take on friendships, and the problems they face at that age. There is really nothing special about its plot, but this drama has its own unique qualities that sets it apart from other high school web dramas in a good way. Every episode neatly written and executed without making it too dramatic for high school nor cringy, it also makes you curious as to what secrets are yet to be revealed, which what made me finish this in one sitting.
The casting and the actors were also good. Everyone looked like their typical high school students, and were able to pull their roles well even despite the limited lines and scenarios! I was able to really see the characters genuine friendship towards each other.
The character growth, resolve, and positive outlook of the female lead at the end was heartwarming, that it made me become satisfied with what i just watched. An overall nice drama! 7.5/10!

Plot-wise, the story was great! The formula of the story might be cliche now but it still works! We love too see our cold male lead growing to be concerned with FL, and eventually realize his feelings towards her. I also liked the way it was well adapted to the Japanese culture, and not really copy the former adaptations. My only concern with the plot is that the scenes were going too fast that there was no room for other characters to fully develop and even assert themselves in the story like the second leads Hayato and Anna, where we did not get a chance to see their intentions and it was hard to relate to them. I sincerely hope there will be a S2 for this one or else its just too bad. I also wish that the romantic scenes for both the leads although there are some a bit placed here and there, were more, but with only ten episodes and 30 minutes each, I guess those would have to do.
Acting-wise, both lead actors did great with their roles. Kizu Takumi looked cool despite the ridiculous comedy parts in this show, he pulled it off really well. The chemistry was definitely there, we get to see it especially in the first few episodes, however towards the end (episodes 8-10) the whole show was just completely rushed so there was no chance for the actors to really give us much more.
The OST for this drama, although repeatedly played at the start and the end of each episode is really sweet, catchy, heart racing, and beautiful that it worked its magic for the show. I enjoyed the show more because of it!!
I was really planning on giving this one an 8.5 when I started watching, but now that I finished till the end it went down to 7.5 because of the disappointing ending. I have never seen a show end the way it did, without resolving the main conflict, proper farewell and confession that was as if the whole story build up went down the drain. I sincerely hope this would get a season 2 and redeem itself!!
