A cliche love triangle....well more like a love pentagon mini series with nothing new or out of the box. The two good points of the drama are that things are dragged and there is cute chemistry between the leads. The cast has done good for their parts. Nothing much to write about the show, if have nothing else to watch and want to binge watch a mini romantic show in less time, then you can go for it.Was this review helpful to you?
Park Min Young's comeback is strong and striking
A really good adaptation of a webtoon into a drama . From the start to end, the drama was engaging. The drama will make you feel for the characters be it hatred or sympathy, love or disgust. Each and every cast member played their part extremely well be it the main leads or side characters or the antagonist.PMY's comeback was phenomenal. After facing such a turbulent time in her life for past year where many expected her career to go down the hill, she bounced back with a stellar drama and took her spot back.
For me the star of the show is "Song Ha Yoon". She absolutely nailed her role and showed off her versatility. Hell I even forgot she is the same girl from the drama "Fighting For My Way". As much as I liked her character in that drama, I did end up hating her a lot in this one. She managed to do the same what Lim Ji Yeon did in "The Glory". So kudos to her.
Lee Yi Kyung's " Gwenchana Gwenchana" ain't working in this drama what his acting sure is. Dude played the role of a sleezy asshole extremely well.
The show is a worth spending time on if you are looking for some good and satisfying revenge drama.

This drama rides solely on the chemistry between the leads
The drama has a warm and fluffy story that has been shown many times in C dramas before. The story isn't something new or too interesting but is watchable all thanks to the leads chemistry and the little cutie who is the icing on the cake.Miles Wei playing the same type of CEO who starts cold but warms up later on. He has played this type of CEO character in so many dramas so nothing new in this at all while Hu Yi Xuan certainly did well with her role. Gonna have to give credit to the boy who plays ML's son for doing really well with his role at such a young age.
It is a good one time watch if you are a fan of the actors.

Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area - Part 2

A good hit but not a home run
They literally managed to make korean version of an already world famous show that doesn't look like some low grade knock off but is actually a good show. The story was engaging and keeps you on the edge as they changed quite a lot of stuff from the original show be it the character arcs or their backstories.The only letdown for me was that the characters in the show, I could never make the emotional connection with the characters as it happened with the original. The characters of the robbers weren't that memorable too that you would talk about them even after the show is completed. If you go for the OG one , the wild, feisty and sometimes self destructive Tokyo or the cold and psychotic Berlin or the bossy and matriarchy loving Nairobi or Denver's weird laughter or Professor's voice, swag and his glasses flick. There were many memorable characters that people still talk cuz they had a long lasting impression, something that this show missed.
Otherwise it is a damn good show which doesn't looks draggy but thrilling till the end.

Quite Cliche and Predictable but Sweet
The story of the show ain't something new but the same cliche contract marriage drama trope which has been used so many times in so many shows. The same CEO and poor Cindrella marrying each other for their own benefits and the same jealous second leads who will try to ruin their relationship but in the end get rejected and go home. Though the story is predictable but is sweet and cheesy enough to make it work and not look cringey,The one and probably the only strongest point of the show is the couple's chemistry. The leads were the perfect casting for it and it shows in every scene they are together. The supporting cast has done their job really well too. I would say my favorite character would be the ML's grandma.
It is a good watch if you are looking for some cliche romantic love story stuff.

Sometimes too cheesy but still a good watch
Saw the show after hearing so much hype around it and it certainly didn't disappoint. From the action to the story arcs, everything was well executed. There were moments where it felt a little dragged and sometimes to cheesy but overall was a good watch.The humor was quite on point and gave some really good memorable moments, be it the dance during the idol concert or trying to stop the girls from opening the parcel.
The show gives you all you need from an army based show and tells about all the sacrifices the soldiers make to protect the country and their loved ones.
Song- Song couple might not be together in real life but for sure will remain one of the best onscreen ones till now. SJK as a soldier and SHK as a doctor were perfect casting. I was skeptical at first regarding SJK playing an army officer as he doesn't really has that stature but he did justice to his character.
KimJiWon as always nailed the character and her love story arc with JinGoo was cherry on cake. Her being a feisty and extroverted girl while him being calm and composed. Both helped each other grow and face problems together instead of running away.
The show's ost was quite good too and matched well with the vibe os the show and characters.

Some Scars can't be healed
This show needs no introduction nor does its leading lady.A show that depicts the darker side of humans and how monstrous and inhumane they can get. A broken and scarred girl who swore revenge on those who made her life hell returns and unleashes the same hell on each and everyone of them making their lives worse than death.
She decides to take away everything they had from them and in the process meets a guy who is too broken and scarred just like her. He becomes her support when no one in the world did that for her, making her start to believe in others again.
The show will make you feel so many emotions. You will cry for the victims and hate the guts of the bullies. The cast has nailed their roles be it of the good or bad one.
Song Hye Kyo proved with this show that she ain't just a pretty face but a phenomenal actress too who can pull of both sweet and darker roles.
(The saddest part is that the things that are shown do happen in real life too and even way worse. Many have faced it growing up and many are facing it even now and this will continue on cuz such monsters exists everywhere at any age groups. I do pray for the well being of those who have suffered such atrocities and hope they are able to move past those scars.)

Nine Tails returned with a Bang.....
I think as everyone knows, this show did surpass its prequel both in terms of action and story. The characters introduced and their relationship development was damn good. The show was captivating and engaging right from the first episode and didn't feel as if it was dragged unnecessarily.By the end of S1 I hoped that Rang's character deserved a happy ending too and BOOM when the announced the sequel I was so happy. Rang getting his one love and going all fiesty foxy to protect her was so good to watch. LY as the big bro getting to meet his little bro again, from fighting against one another to side by side with him was cherry on top. Honestly I felt Yeon chemistry with the FL here way more than the one in S1 but dude is a one woman man and won't look at anyone else other than his own lady.
Overall the show was a bang and ended quite wholesomely.

LDW and Kim Bum were the perfect casting for Nine Tailed Fox.
I would say LDW as a nine tailed fox was his most charming role till now. Be it his hairstyle or his attitude, everything was top notch and suited the nine tailed fox character but the one guy who stole the show was Kim Bum.Kim Bum as Rang and his entire story arc from hating his brother's guts and trying to hurt him, all the way to sacrificing himself just so his brother could return. The cold natured fox who hated humans ended up making deep emotional bonds with so many and got himself a new family was so good to see especially with the little boy. Damn I felt way more sad for his death than I felt for LDW's.
I have always been a fan of Cho Bo Ah, from her days of side roles to her playing a psycho teen who is obsessed with her teacher to an army officer. She has nailed all of the roles and did the same here. If there is one actress other than Yoo In na who really suits LDW, it would be her.

The sizzling chemistry between the leads is cherry on cake
No Spoilers:A broken girl meets a savior with a sad past and together they decide to take on all those who have scarred them. The highlight of the show was the chemistry between the leads.
Jung Yoo Min is made for main lead roles and she proved it in the show, while Sung Hoon charming as ever too did well.
Each and every character played their roles so well, you do end up loathing and loving them.
I was sceptical at first as the webtoon had quite many chapters and whether they will be able to get the entire story arc done in 12 eps and not rush it but they certainly hit the bullseye.

Kim Ji Eun and Park Solomon's drama is a breath of fresh air in this cliche trope of Body Swapping
The show from start to end is engaging, chaotic, mysterious, humorous and even dark at some points making the viewers curious on what will happen next. This isn't you cliche romantic stuff where the leads swap their bodies and fall in love later on but more about two extremely opposite people with each having their own secrets, motives and ambitions.FL's character isn't some damsel in distress but one strong, cold, bossy, ruthless and arrogant wolf who is ready to go through hell and even put others through it to get the job done. ML's character is a loud, chaotic sometimes childish guy who works under the FL and often faces the brunt of her actions. Both of their arcs end up getting interconnected with each learning to work with the Swap and at the same time going ahead to achieve their own motives.
The best part of the drama is that romance isn't forced down the throat of viewers but is kept subtle while keeping the main focus on the mystery and thrill factor of the show.
The cast especially the leads have nailed their roles. Both did justice to their own and each other's characters too. I would say it is a must watch if you are looking for something new.

Watch it if you are a huge fan of the cast otherwise it can be ignored
It is a cute and fluffy love story between two people who have a love for making and playing games.The show starts good but becomes draggy with the entire "hard to please" trope being pulled first by the ML and then by FL. For more than half the show this push and pull continues, making it become quite boring and even making the FL's character look childish and annoying too.
The story isn't something new or out of the box and the strong point of the show is just its lead casts. If you are a fan of LY and ZY or are looking for some cute cliche love story drama then you may go for it otherwise you can ignore it as it doesn't bring anything new from what has been shown in C dramas a hundred times.

A slow and draggy version of one of my most fav K dramas I have seen.
It could have properly summed the entire story in 24 eps instead of making it 33 eps. The characters are more annoying than the original and story arcs keep on getting dragged. The chemistry is mediocre to say the best as I just don't feel the chemistry between the leads. Even when not compared to the original drama, this one becomes boring midway. If they wanted to make it a slow burn, it could have been done better.If you haven't watched the Korean version, you may give it a go otherwise it can be ignored.

It takes a Monster to kill a Monster
This is what you call a good female oriented action thriller.Han So Hee nailed it, be it the action or the raw emotions each and everything was spot on. All the training she underwent for the role is visible on screen. A girl who is ready to go through anything to get revenge on the man who killed her father was shown in a phenomenal way. All the grief, rage, desperation and shock the character had till the end.
PHS as the mafia boss was so damn good and I don't think you can hate him till the end. Its simple with him, no matter what never break his trust or you will be sent straight to Jesus.
AHB's too was good as a police officer and a brother who wants to end the drug trade to avenge his sister's death.
The story is so engaging and keeps you on the edge. There wasn't a moment where it felt dragged. The icing on the cake was the raw and gory action. Be it the cage fights or the final showdown. I enjoyed it to the fullest.

I always loved the web novel and was glad it was made into a web show with such a stellar star cast and high budget. The show didn't disappoint at all and if anything was even better than the web novel too.The characters and their backstories be it the good guys or bad ones were given a good time to help build the hype for final episodes. The cast and the chemistry between them was amazing , HHJ proved again why she is one of the best actresses as she nailed both roles of a young agent and a mother who has a teenage son.I won't be comparing the VFX/CGI to the shows in Hollywood but for a k drama they exceeded my expectations with flying colors.They really upped the ending as compared to the web novel be it destroying the school or new superpowered characters and a nice tease for S2 in the post credits. Everyone deserved what they got.
There were a few issues i had in the end as i wanted DS's family reunion to be a little bit more and not just a few seconds as it looked rushed and didn't give a high emotional impact I wanted . I also kind of hoped for BS to take HS flying just like his dad did with his mom would have been a nice throwback.
It is the best superhero kdrama produced till now and I hope for more if they go for S2 as they teased in the end.
