Japanese Drama '' Sugar Sugar Honey '' is a short drama.The story is cute and it has it all: food (delicious desserts), sports, old rivalries, office drama, cute romance, comedy, family drama, etc. And it does a good job blending them, though each episode focuses on one of those genres, as the drama's length doesn't allow it to get more in depth.
Also, the romance, though adorable at first, got unnecessarily dramatic with an eye rolling twist in the end.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable by every actor and actress in the cast.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Wedding Impossible '' is a romantic comedy about a contracted marriage.The drama starts out nicely, introducing the main characters and their situations. However, as the story progresses, the main plot is ditched and the drama becomes something completely different. And boring to boot.
The romance, therefore, which was cute at first, got overdramatic for no reason and the second male lead was pushed aside, as the drama mainly focused on the main couple.
Also, the family drama was predictable and unoriginal.
At least, the performances were enjoyable for everyone in the cast.
So, overall, two out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Yellow Boots '' is a melodrama with a revenge plot.Though the drama starts a bit awkward, introducing the characters and their relationship between them, things get better and better as the drama progresses. Without unnecessary overdramatic scenes and outbursts, the story truly gives a satisfying result in the end, which is quite dramatic. However, the final episodes were roughly chopped and edited, which made the drama look like a low-budget one, which was not the case, as the rest of it was smooth and the pace was just perfect.
Also, the performances were great, and, the characters' development was nicely handled. The characters were interesting to boot.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Queen of Divorce '' is a dramatic law comedy.The drama, first of all, focuses mostly on the female lead's story and her efforts to redeem herself and bring those who hurt her to justice. Therefore, there weren't a lot, or even any, legal cases other than the main one, which was a letdown, as the main lead was supposed to be the queen of divorce, even though she couldn't be a lawyer.
The romance, in addition, felt forced and it was boring, especially since they were trying to base it on a past that the viewer had never watched.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable.
So, overall, three out of ten.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Japanese Drama '' Living No Matsunaga-san '' is a romantic comedy drama.The start of the series is smooth and enjoyable, as we get to know the characters and their situation. The dynamics are there and the mood is light and fluff.
But, as the drama progresses, things get a bit on the odd side. The main couple was somehow off, and not just because of their age difference, but due to the fact that he was acting as a father figure and she was way too young to be making important life decisions, hence, that twist in the end was a bit off. Also, the most frustrating part was the ex subplot, that was way too weird, as she was the girl's teacher and the guy's ex, thus, it was bizarre for her to be hyping up the relationship as she did.
Finally, the second couple was cute, but they hardly had any moments together.
As for the performances, they were okay.
So, overall, three out of ten.

The characters were also interesting, though some of them did make some controversial choices.
The performances were, in addition, enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Flex x Cop '' is a remake of the Russian series '' Silver Spoon '', with a Korean twist of course.The drama offers a lot of cases that the investigation team is called to solve, in their delightfully whimsical way. That way the main plot doesn't get stuffy, and the drama does indeed focus on the police enforcement, and doesn't simply give a few at the start only to excite the audience and then try to keep things interesting with unnecessary melodrama for the second half.
The main mystery case was also interesting and twisty and enhanced the drama of the characters more.
The characters, moreover, where all interesting and had smooth chemistry.
The performances, therefore, were all great and everyone did a great job with their characters.
So, overall, nine out of ten.

Japanese Drama '' Eye Love You '' is a fantasy-office romance with a cute couple, but a messy fantasy story.First of all, the love story was enjoyable. The couple had chemistry, which aided the drama a lot, and the comical misunderstandings were cute. The second couple was entertaining as well.
The office drama was also nice and the relationship between father and daughter was so sweet!
However, the fantasy element was all over the place. The drama seemed to forget about it for most of the series' length, and then, they tried to add some melodrama to it towards the ending, but they only ended up mishandling the whole affair.
Finally, the performances were great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Pyramid Game '' is a drama about school bullying and social classes.The drama has a strong start, with the viewer being introduced to the characters and to the pyramid system. It was interesting to follow the main lead, as she was trying to understand her new position and how to change things. It was also nice that she wasn't all good and innocent, rather, she was a grey character who was selfish and manipulative. Hence, her character development was enjoyable to follow.
On the other hand, the drama had a weak second half. It felt anticlimactic and the ending was a let down.
At least, the performances were all strong by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Doctor Slump '' is a slice of life melodrama with some medical drama hints.The drama has a healing story, with the romance being well paced and starting from academic rivals, to friends, to lovers, which shifted the story from the love story to the difficulties the characters had to face and overcome. Hence, the slow pace helped the mood of the drama a lot.
Unfortunately, the second half of the drama felt more like a filler. There were only a few things left to be resolved and a few new things to be added to the story. At this point, the side couple was the one who kept things interesting and offered a lot of adorable moments.
Finally, the performances were all enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Doctor Lawyer '' is a medical and law drama.The story has some interesting parts, but it focuses solely on the main criminal case and gets boring after a while. Sure, the characters were interesting, at first at least, but the drama didn't have enough cases to at least lift the load off and add some interesting notes to the main plot. Also, the medical drama didn't blend that well with the law drama, and it often felt like the story didn't know which direction to follow and where to focus.
At least, the romance was left on paper and there were some emotional scenes added to the mix. Also, there were some twists that were unexpected.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, four out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Chicken Nugget '' is a crazy fantasy-sci fi - comedy about a crazy-out-of-the-box adventure.The drama is short and it manages to handle smoothly the story, which could have been all over the place and become ridiculous quite easily. Hence, the story ends up being odd, yes, but enjoyable enough.
The pace was, in addition, pretty fast, but suited the story. The CGI was pretty good as well. Also, the action scenes were entertaining and well-executed. Moreover, the story had some sensitive-sweet parts which were mostly referred to the family drama.
Finally, the performances were all great by every actor and actress in the cast and the cameos were enjoyable.
So, overall, six out of ten.
