In This Corner of the World

The setting of the drama is in Kure, a naval city in Hiroshima province. The story told about Suzu's and her new family life during the harsh time of WWII. (it touch a little bit about the Atomic bombing at Hiroshima). It was very interesting to see how the Japanese lived and what they felt during the war. Personally, I was born from a country which was used to be occupied by the Japanese. The textbook only taught about one side view of the war. Being the oppressed or the occupier. It was interesting to see it from the other side of the view and learn that no one wants to go to war and war really does not benefit anybody (the one who starts always is the person from the above not the people).
I'm not very familiar with the casts. But they sure did a wonderful job. The act feels really natural and the story is not being forced at all. I can say very confidently that even if you read the manga, you won't be disappointed or being bored with this drama.

The story is based on a real-life person, Asako Hirooka. Even though it is based on her life, there are many differences between the real Asako and Asa. The story in this drama, even though is based on actual events are changed to be more enjoyable (a typical Japanese style, I must say. No melodramatic). It does make the drama more enjoyable but I think it would be also pretty interesting if they based it correctly. I mean. I would really really like to know how it is like during that era. Since I feel like the drama only shows maybe 1/10 of the struggles that the real Asako had faced.
Overall, if you ignore the differences between the real Asako and the drama, this drama is a treasure. It is very inspiring and shows you a real character growth and also point out how important for the society to support and nurture women. That women have the same capability as men or even more.
WARNING: These may make you upset if you are looking for a real real real history story. Don't read it.
The real Asako is a child from a concubine. She and Hatsu have different mothers. The real Hatsu died at the age of 25.
The real Shinjiro, is not really supportive of Asako's passion. Asako called tutors after she got permission from Shinjiro. But he did not really care or believe in her capability in the beginning. In addition, the real Shinjiro, took Asako's handmaid Mume as a concubine (it's normal at that era) after Asako lost her fertility (But Asako had a daughter before this happened). He had 4 children with Mume.

Cinderella and the Four Knights

The heartwarming scenes are all forced too... I can't sympathize at all. I think this drama is overrated too much or just not for me.

The story is focused on the genius doctor Han Ji woon. As a part of a forensic doctor team which specializes in finding the cause of death due to some kind of weird circumstance and rare diseases. The idea is very unique and intriguing. Each episode is very interesting which made you hook. I find the story of each case is more sentimental and sappy than I would like it to be (the story does make you think but in a more sentimental way). The case sometimes can be very easy to guess or too predictable. The ending is kind of weird and forced I think. I did not expect any romance development in the story which made it really weird. I think its better if the writer did not put any romance at all into the story. The main partnership lack some chemistry. Although this drama did not make it to be one of my favorite crime dramas, I still enjoy watching it and looking forward to season 2.

The female lead Sang Mi is an amazing character. Her mother is weak and sick, her dad is out of his mind with his blind faith, and she is constantly targeted to be a sacrifice to the creepy pedo white guy. Despite those things, she is strong to keep her sanity and never give up to fight back.
The draw of this drama is that I feel that Dong Cheol need more screen time. I find he is more fitted to be the real male lead than Sang Hwan. I mean. He loses everything even though he is not wrong and he has taken more risks to help Sang Mi and nearly die after all.

Asura: The City of Madness

There will be a lot of blood in the movie. If you are weak to such movies, then don't watch it (it has some brutal and disturbing scenes).
I like the fact that the lead has some flaw in his character. He is by no means a good cop. But by the end of the day he some good points and what happened to him is just some tragedy. One of the best Korean suspense and thriller movie.

It's season 2 and even better
The acting and characterization of each character are even deeper and better. The transition between the different seasons is quite smooth. Some stories are even darker and also interesting.The main character, the Master is still the same as ever. Coming into season 2, I feel that I get to know his character much more. He is a very sympathetic person. Sometimes in the borderline between being too involved or just watching by the side. Both mostly he always listen to all his customer's problems.

Its a surreal experience
How do I say this? I was watching this drama without any expectations. I was in the mood of watching JDrama when I realize that this drama is quite popular on Netflix with a lot of seasons. Usually, it's pretty rare for JDrama to have many seasons unless it is highly popular in Japan. And I can see why this drama is very popular, to the point that China, Korea, and I think Thailand? also try to make their own version (but of course they failed? That's what I heard I didn't see their version yet so I can't comment on this.)Based on manga (I did not read it yet), it told about random people who come into the Meshiya, a diner that only opened at midnight to morning. There are only 3 regular menus and the Master will cook any dish that the customer requested as long as he has the ingredients. Each person had a different story that will be associated with one dish that they order.
The story can be quite dark sometimes but can be also hopeful. The main theme of the drama is slice of life, there is some romance, but it's very little. There are things about growth and up and downs of life. this drama might not be for everyone's taste. This drama is very good for people who like watching some dramas that can make you reflect. Another thing, this drama is also good for people who like to cook. At the end of each eps, the Master will show you the recipe of the dish.
Overall it's a good drama. I'm currently watching season 3. Although the pace is repetitive, but each story is quite unique from one another. I haven't feel bored yet after watching 23 eps.

This drama is exceptional with the push of the talented actors and actress as well. Hu Ge especially has been able to display Lin shu's passion to clear his family and army which is hidden behind his frail body. His tale is indeed sad but inspiring. He is an amazing person who is also recieved love the most from everyone around him. All of his followers follow him not because of fear, but love and loyalty. He is an unforgetable character and has become one of my most fav too.
Another thing that I love is the fact that the story highlight the importance of loyalty, family love and amazing display strategies.
This drama is a total must watch.

Boku, Unmei no Hito desu

What I like about the drama is the fact that the main lead is like your everyday ordinary guy who has his own struggle with love and works hard for it. Every episode, you just want to cheer him on. In addition, I also like the fact that the female lead is cold and logical but actually has a warm heart. I will miss this show a lot. I was so sad when the ep end, but it was a great ride without too much pull.
