Moving: Teenage Superhumans
The series have a very exciting early episode. I like the action-packed episodes particularly the later ones. But somehow it to meet my expectations on why it was titled that way. Although a sequel or another season can be a welcome idea to quench the uncertainties the viewers would like to see what a great ending will be.I am blur as to where it can climax as the teaser to the continuing next sequel if ever there will be. But the concept and story is great. I am just not sure if the story will be enough to create a political ripple between the north and south (hope not!) since the disclaimer says it all that it was just a work of fiction.
The title likewise seems somewhat misleading and/or controversial. Does it mean 'moving from north to south'? I feel the title should highly relate to the extraordinary life of the main characters. Except that it should not be somewhat similar or near like to the title of the tech savvy secret agent kids' film: Spy Kids Armageddon.

A Should Have Been Blockbuster
I just feel disenchanted. Just Imagine the long wait for the next sequel to be spectacular but unfortunately it did not.It could have been much better but maybe the production for one have suffered much. First, the transition from a global pandemic. Then there was the production set back on having the crew undergo labor unrest. The series likewise have undergone cast changing and reshuffling. And lastly, as many have felt and noticed the twists on the storyline it lost that vital spectacle that many wanted to see in the climax.
I am not any more expecting another season or sequel since as I said: I was already not excited but rather disenchanted.

Fails on the Story of a Fallen Angel
Honestly, I am blur as to what the writer really wanted to showcase and highlight about the story. But at least this series is far to be near the story of Thomas John Ellis's role as Lucifer in the American blockbuster urban fantasy tv series 'Lucifer' who both tackles the life of the castaway angel. Perhaps, the writer wanted to depict another side of this demonic character. i just find the story lackluster and failed to deliver a spectacle despite those good-looking actors, captivating location and production scenes.The story simply lacks substance and spectacle of what the story of an evil creature should be depicted in order to leave an etch on the minds of the viewers.

Too fancy for an espionage story.
The way on the life of undercover agents was way too fancy on this drama. It misses some of the thrills and action needed on the fast-paced action pack adventures of an espionage story. It somehow relates more on the three-way love affair.A certified sniper and killing machine provided a gas gun for protection? Errr... could it be Robert De Niro's waitin' talkin Italian lols...
Even the opening intro to each episode was somewhat like the opening scene to a James Bond movie with a golden yellow bullet ricocheting across seemingly to be like that of the opening teaser of a Bond or MI movie. But unfortunately even the graphics were poorly done with a hardly noticeable size of the bullet. i'm sure Bond will hide and fly to the moon for if ever he sees these wannabe scene.
Even the ending will leave one hanging with clouts in their minds.

A view to the future.
Ever since the confirmation of the discovery of the presence of water on the moon this year, scientists are rallying on the thought of human habitation on it. And this short series can serve as a view of what the future holds for us humans.Although the story carries fictionalized content written by the author of the story and acted by the cast to add thrill to the viewers. I still it find it generally informative and helpful to stimulate the curiosity of the general viewers. I recommend everyone to watch this.

Korean Royal Gourmet Fit for Everyone
Of all the drama genre I enjoyed watching, those of the Food, Cooking and Nutrition were my favorites. Although I love to watch, action, suspense, historical and science inspired tv series, stories on cooking and food can make me instantly glued and my welcome treat since I love to cook and explore on cooking inter-racial foods. As an Asian, I enjoy cuisines from the Philippines, Japan, Korea, Malaysian, Chinese and of course American as well as European treats like pies, pasta, sauces , etc. I was a big fan of Andrew Zimmern and Mark Wiens.I initially thought Gourmet was of the same plot as Feast of the Gods since they were both based on the premise about Korean Royal Cuisine. But as I watched further, Gourmet is of a different plot. Honestly, I appreciate having watched both tv drama. And my understanding about Korean Royal Gourmet grew further. I somehow can understand why Korean food has been making waves and have been known all over the world. The traditional food started by the Koreans were served to the royals of the Korean kingdom and was now being propagated worldwide by Korean foodists, travelers, merchants and visitors who have highly appreciated their rich heritage and distinct taste the Korean people so loved. Korean TV Series Gourmet is an uplifting should watch series if you love to eat Korean food.

Knowledge must be shared to prove its worth.
People are often overwhelmed by this delusion that being a genius can make someone powerful and act like God. These intellects tend to think that everything is an experiment and that everyone can be subjects and guinea pigs to experiment and test with. Little did they realize that without the people around, Knowledge is just as useless as being in an island all alone.I like how the story carry how friendship among varied people of different set of intellect and social status can still survive through the trials of mental capacity, emotional disputes and even between different specie like Algernon , the rodent and his human counterpart Sakuto.

Vengeance is My Name
The ending left me with several hanging curiosities such as:1. What ever happened to Ji Woo? Did she escape from a supposedly highly organized organization of this big drug syndicate? How?
2. Did Captain Cha Gi-ho helped her in clearing her name being the 'mole' and accessory to disband a highly organized drug ring?
3. Did the drug syndicate organization got a new leader after the death of Choi Mu-jin?
4. What is it in the title 'My Name' that made it significant and synonymous to the story? I find it too blur and less significant to have its impact as the title of this tv series.

Mission Galore
Though it seem to resembles somewhat another Mission Impossible story having similar aspects like firepower, locations, women and gadget specialists, I ought to give at least nice credits to the firepower to the main agents almost at par with their Hollywood agent counterparts. Another were the choice locations in Italy, New Zealand and Japan. And of course the funny sidekicks. Encore also goes to the acts of Cha Seung-won and Jung Woo-sung for their roles as main agents.I also love the soundtrack of the series.

A Very Interesting Strategy Story of Love Matched on the Battleground
The rich historical account of China's battle with its neighbors have created this tv series that fictionally account the battle strategies during the early conquests of China. Utilizing tribal inter marriages or heqins, spies and even game matches can all be strategies in order to gain tribal access, favors and even battles.The Long Ballad showcases that love can amazingly bloom even between enemies and on the battleground. That even the Emperor of Tang and Great Khan can agree that a perfect match of hearts can lead to attain peace in their war torn regions.
