Bloody horrendous hell! It can't be more disappointing and disgusting
A taxi driver expecting good luck picks up a mysterious passenger who offers him a an extra fare to drive him to the port. Eventually the taxi driver learns the man is a psycho on the run after committing murder.!!! Trigger warning: it's very very disturbing and gruesome! Not for faint hearted!
I was intrigued by the cast but it is really underwhelming once I've seen the first few episodes. Plot progression is super slow, i think around 6 episodes are spent for backstories, with the present day timeline was just going through one night full of incidents. The fight scenes are annoying, felt like they're just showing off psychopacy.
Towards the middle it took a dark turn and every episode makes me feel sick. I just finished it because I was hoping for any satisfying redemption by the finale (+ so that I'm entitled to write my rant!), but it turns out to be a waste of time. The main conflict was resolved poorly and anticlimactic. Hands down one of the worst dramas I've ever seen!
PS: Sorry Yeo Yoon Seok, your acting is always top-notch, I want to remember you only as Gu Dong Mae, not Hyuk Soo. Wish to see you in better dramas next year!

"It's time for you to stop playing hard to get" -Jang Hyun
My Dearest is about a noblewoman who is separated from a mysterious traveler upon the Qing invasion.The pacing is great and I like that the external conflict is quickly set-up, along with Jang Hyun mysterious background. The fact that he’s a stranger coming to a new place is intriguing. The most enjoyable part in the series was the invasion, especially the one in ep 4. Regarding Gil Chae’s character, I’m a bit lukewarm to her as she’s a bit wild and too proud of herself.
Production-wise, it is stunning! Seeing as it is a miniseries, it doesn't have to worry about stretching its budget so every single shot looks like a movie. There are a lot of breathtaking scenery, everything is so wonderful. The use of color was both very artistic and engaging.
But to be honest, I was a bit struggling as I don't fall in love with the main plot which is the romance T.T
I enjoy the couple when they're together, but I was not enjoying their constant push and pull. So in most episodes I couldn't feel the emotional engagement of their scenes. Since the closure doesn't feel very "ending" as it is a two-part show, I'm curious on how the story goes; more on Jang Hyun’s story and I am anticipating for on point romance beyond all these emotional sufferings.
(SPOILER part) I think both of them need to be more honest. Gil Chae keeps in denial and does not confess her thoughts to Jang Hyun, while desperately crying for him when he's not around. However, I understand her hesitation because Jang Hyun chooses not to marry, so I agree with her final decision. Even though Jang Hyun finally shows his true feelings too, he still chooses to consistently leave, without enough explanations and believable promises.

Their emotion means so much to me! T.T Don't be skeptical with the ratings.
After a break-up, Ritzu (Honda Kyoya) gets into an accident that makes him forget about his ex-boyfriend, Fumiya (Suzuki Kosuke). Wanting to help him recover and start their relationship over from scratch, Fumiya resumes their cohabitation while hiding the fact that they were dating and broke up. He gets anxious when Ritzu starts to remember their past. Will the painful memory returns and will they be able to overcome it?This is amazing! Oh my heart, each moment was so well set-up and well-acted, not just by the leads, but also the brother and special star for the angelic-neighbor. The stand-out was definitely the leads performance, their emotion made me felt so much! Fumiya's flashback and his yearning was very touching, his flaws felt so relatable. Ritzu successfully made me cry sobbing, after months of not crying over dramas (that I thought I get numb). The chemistry was magnetic every time they're on screen together. On top of that, they had their spicy moments within the story, I can't be more grateful.
I've watched a lot of BLs from different countries, definitely this is a standout. It was gripping from the first scene, with conflict and tension. The internal struggle was fleshed out in a perfect pace. Just the dialogues felt a bit heavy-handed in the final, but I absolutely love how it ends. Plus, it was beautifully shot, with soft music, and the cozy sets made me miss Japan so much! >_< This review ended up becoming so personal, which only happens when I got so invested. Already rewatching the 6 episodes. Truly Recommend!!! Thanks for reading!

For me, Tang Ying and Xu Qi Zhuan's relationship journey is the highlight of this series. It's mature, honest, witty and thoughtful. From the start, their chemistry was fireworks. Even when problems and discomforts arise, there was no frustrating misunderstandings because they talk things through and had honest conversations, learning more to love each other for who they are while being together.
Along with the romance, this workplace drama has a lot of office dynamics portraying what lies behind the façade of seemingly high-performing professionals, the lies people tell others and themselves to get through their struggles. I like the message that they try to deliver and that it drives our characters to grow personally and professionally, but I wish the office plot moved bit faster or had more hijinks. Often, I just want to see our the leads flirt together again.
Another highlight is the jazzy & city-pop OST. The music is so calming and get me in the chill mood, it made me feel that everything will be alright. Overall, thanks to the couple I had fun watching it, and it's now on my short list of memorable romcom dramas!^^

The genre shift was jarring, but it made me feel all the emotions.
Dong Gu is a North Korean spy who has been dispatched to South Korea, living a small-town life as an idiot country bumpkin, along with his other two comrades who live as an aspiring singer and a high school student. One day after years have passed with no order from the North, a sudden power shift in the North turned their mundane lives upside down."Secretly, Greatly" is a mixed bag. It starts out ridiculously foolish and funny... It's not until the midway point, that it turns into a spy action movie with an intense twist, none of those joyfulness was meant to last. Although this tone shift was jarring, it made me feel all the emotions, all the way to the end. The comedic and fight scenes were impactful and well-choreographed. Some of the jokes were so embarrassing that I feel bad for the actors, and there were times when I thought the stabbing/shooting went over-the-top. For the most part, though, it was entertaining. There were also some touching moments between Dong Gu and the villagers. The ending was really dramatic and memorable.
I never imagine Kim Soo Hyun could pull-off such gritty action sequences but wow, I was blown away! He was awesome fighting in his army uniform, and shirtless too! His acting ranges really the highlight of this movie. If you want to be gripped by his performance, I would recommend it.
thanks for reading :)

It's quite messy and frustrating but there are merits to it
Choi Sang Eun (Park Min Young) has a unique job as a single-life helper: where she contracts herself to be a wife. She is a master at adapting herself both to her clients and the situation she needs to be in. After 10 years, she decided to retire and leave the country. She easily ends all contracts except for one long-term client, Jung Ji Ho (Go Kyung Pyo), who she’s been visiting every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for dinner together. Will she be able to end her contract with him and cut ties with no feelings?I appreciated how quickly I got invested in the characters and the story from the first episode. Then I found out that the story wasn't all fluffy romcom, it has an unsettling dark mystery surrounding Sang Eun's past. Someone was also being portrayed to be potentially dangerous, but it was obvious that it's a red herring. Those twists gave an unpleasant and dissonant note, so I put it on-hold for months before being convinced by a friend that it gets better...
So I came back to give it a second chance, mainly for our stoic, awkward and endearing Ji Ho, I like that his speeches are really on point! I also like how his companionship developed, I even like how the love triangle played out. Both Go Kyung Pyo and Park Min Young were very well casted in their roles and I love their chemistry. Their relationship is one of the healthiests and their growth together was great. That being said, I never like the messy family story, uninteresting and too dramatic. I also disagree on some characters’ redemption and some did not getting what they deserved. So whether I like the drama overall, is questionable XD. I guess the romance and Go Kyung Pyo makes it worth watching!

8 episodes of sexy, fun, healing story that I highly recommend
After 5 year-loveless relationship with his boyfriend, Hee Jae (Hee Yeon) seeks advice to her best friend Mi Na (Woo Hee) who is a serial one-night-stand girl. Although being an expert in achieving physical pleasure, she doesn't have any romance in her life. When they agreed to host a sex and romance advice podcast, the two get introspective and desperately want to change their lives.It goes all the sexy way possible and really not for children. Don’t be too alarmed by first scene - it's not all sex and desire. The story is deep and it is so good! It is short and gets right to the point. Each episode tells so much about the characters. I love how the writers truly emphasize and understand female gaze. It carries the subject of healthy sex between couples and partners respectfully and showed that sex isn't anything to be ashamed of.
The friendship between Hee Jae and Mi Na hits me with all the feels. Their backstory were heartbreaking. It was lovely to see how the male leads become a part of their lives romantically but also sexually. The only thing I am feeling icky of is one tiny, annoying trope at the end that I'm so over with, but overall I am so impressed with this drama and wish that this drama has more acknowledgement, for how well it handles the topic.
Mind you, it had nudity, just like the title hit the spot because that's the way the story is set up. But these scenes are well placed and it felt like character-driven moments. They were done very beautifully. So, if you don't mind it, you should definitely check out this.

I love opposite attracts and this drama really bring the best out of them!
Dali, who runs her family's art museum in Korea, was in Amsterdam as a visiting art curator. She met a successful businessman Moo Hak by accident, and he falls head over heels her at first sight. The two part ways, but he intends to meet her again. Shortly after, Dali needs to go back to Korea because of her family emergency, while he’s looking for her all over Amsterdam. When fates finally bring these two together again, they ended up as as a creditor and debtor over the art museum.“Dali and the Cocky Prince” is an art-inspired rom-com. Normally I’m not immediately sold on romcom, but this was a surprisingly heart-fluttering watch! I love how this drama really highlights our lead couple’s personality and quirks. Their journey as a couple so sweet, from them being open to each other, trusting, to them relying on each other. At times when Moo Hak doesn’t reply Dali in sensible ways, she’s not belittling him, but she smiles and it’s so heartwarming. It’s comfortable watching their progression and was satisfied with many romantic moments. Episode 14 is my favorite, where there was a super dreamy and beautiful scene of them, and also a bit spicy, I love everything about them! Kudos to our leads’ perfect chemistry and acting. Kim Min Jae is genuinely cute as the silly undignified Moo Hak, Park Gyu Young is so charming, genius and beautiful.
There was a conflict which was not my favorite part, but it didn’t take a dramatic soapy turn and the romance kept its’ fun and airiness and beauty throughout the episodes so it was super satisfying and memorable! Later, I found out that the director was Lee Jung Sub. He was also the director of Healer, btw, one of my favorites of all time! This is probably why I love the romance so much!

Raunchy and spicy!
Defining the line between friendship and romance is frustrating. Through a series of hijinks, three pairs of youngsters each had tryst and left some yearning for more, while others simply want to have fun. What happen when different expectation and jealousy arise? Will they have their happy endings?“Only Friends” is not the first Thai drama I started, but this is the first one completed and now it’s hard to find another one that is just as engaging. Watch this if you're looking for a raunchy and spicy BL! It hits the spot right from the get-go.
There was no boring moment and a lot happened in each episode. I'm impressed by how the plot is cohesive enough to keep me invested in all six leads. Beyond the excitement of watching BL relationships, I enjoyed the conflicts. Since everyone has flaws and complex feelings, it makes the angst feels so goooooood! Some twists and turns are soapy, messy and predictable, especially by the last few episodes when they introduced more supporting characters, but I am satisfied with how it concluded by the end.
Among the performances, Mark Pakin Kunaanuwit (Nick) stands-out from the start! He can ignite chemistry out of nothing, even without a partner he is hot. Also, Khaotung Thanawat Ratanakitpaisan's (Ray) showed a great acting nuance. What could've been better is the production value in some scenes the music is too loud, shaky cams and bad lightning, but it's acceptable and did not detract me from binging it!

Even when I know this drama is going to upset me, the journey and visuals are outstanding!
A young man moved to a cheap but in poor condition run-down building, planning to stay just until he can save up for a better place. Right away, he experienced strange occurrences in his corridor, around the neighbourhood and he starts suspecting there's some weird stuffs going on. He has a growing suspicion that someone has been entering his room...Everything on screen is super unsettling and mysterious. All characters, including our male lead Jong Wo (Yim Si Wan) are creepy, sweaty, and they’re interacting in a weird way in this dirty old building. At first, I kept wondering whether they are truly strange people or if there’s something evil within the walls. This whole set up is so masterfully directed and it kept me guessing between reality and imagination even after the end.
Trigger warning: this drama might potentially distress you, as there are very explicit torture and gruesome killing scenes. I was ready to peace out by ep 4, but one character kept me super damn curious; He’s our creepy cool-headed Moon Jo (Lee Dong Wook), who is a friendly professional dentist and seems to be obsessive towards Jong Wo. Moon Jo is goose-bumping but also hilarious when he’s being a stalker. Anytime right now, he appears nowhere, catching people red-handed, like “Boo! I see you!” and I got jump-scared and giggly. Jong Wo has no idea that Moon Jo loves watching him all the time through a pin-sized hole in his claustrophobic room. As the story reveals more and more facts, I enjoyed how Jong Wo's point of view gets me psychologically engaged. Both leads’ performances were incredibly impactful, especially when the stakes are heightened, they played each other in a really powerful way but yet so refined.
On a personal note: I met Lee, another fan of SFH and since we relate with their bromance a lot, we immediately got so giddy talking about them. Any edit or meme of SFH are now a laughing drug for us. The free eggs, sashimi and the teeth that we can't yet get over with. Oh, we’re so messed up! XD

It's an excellent drama with a balance mix of fun, seriousness, pace and depth.
Go Ah In (Lee Bo Young) is an ambitious woman whose only purpose is to do her job as a creative director in an advertising agency in the most perfect and flawless possible. She gets promoted as the executive director (Chief Creative Officer/CCO) at her company, which is her ultimate career goal. However, her superior, Choi Chang Soo (Jo Sung Ha), has another plan in mind. Furthermore, behind her obvious workaholic nature, she is also struggling with family and mental health issues.I had a blast watching Agency. The story went all in on showing how a mental health problem can influences work performance negatively, and how challenging it is for someone with a position, like Go Ah In, to survive in a cut-throat work environment, where employees are exploited merely for profit. Despite handling the topic on mental health, it wasn't depressing at all. It is cool, fresh, fashionable and fast-paced. Each episode increases tension between the leads and the rivalry makes the plot interesting. The plot didn't go extreme, there's no makjang elements, but it's still engaging especially the last four episodes. The characters have strong personalities, showed good humour and teamwork. No romance as the main plot but there are great romantic tension between the second leads.
Agency cleverly delivered a feminism-sting through their female leads. I like how competent Go Ah In and her way in managing her team. Then, there is Kang Han Na as the privileged young woman who wanted to break free from her chaebol family expectations. I also enjoyed Jo Eun Jung, she is a working mom who is dedicated to do her job, despite her son's disapproval for her to work and resign instead. Her story showed the stigma against working mothers in a conservative yet competitive Korean society refreshingly.

Enemies-to-lovers and also a friends-to-lovers story
Why is "I Am Not a Robot." a must-watch?Because the hero has an allergy to human contact and throws birthday parties with his gadgets. It's an enemies-to-lovers but also a friends-to-lovers story. An absolute Robot Romance with laugh-out-loud moments as well as emotional ones.
After Kim Min Kyu lost his parents and betrayed by people around him in his childhood, he develops a severe allergy to human touch. One day, he was approached by an AI team who made an advanced robot looking like our female lead Ji Ah, offering the robot to be his personal assistant. But the robot breaks just before being delivered to him, so Ji Ah is begged to fill in to be a robot. She can't tell him she's human because he's allergic to humans, but until when?
Thus, an absolute robot romance ensues, with laugh-out-loud moments as well as emotional ones. The plot is surprisingly dynamic because both leads have their own rich and interesting story. Min Kyu, he’s just a lonely man who lives alone in his mansion and throws birthday parties with his gadgets. I love how Ji Ah’s personality is still shown even during pretending to be robot AG3. Even when he was practically her boss, she made her own choices and finds her way to his heart. Because of her, the romance works naturally.
My praise goes to the actors’ performances; Yoo Seong Hoo whose emotions touch me beyond my expectation. His backstory is painful and his climax was really powerful. I'm always a sucker for actors who play multiple roles well because they’re literally changing on screen, just like what Chae Soo Bin did with her 3 roles; the robot, herself and herself pretending to be a robot.
This would have been a stagnant drama if it was only Min Kyu's story. Min Kyu has a ranking system for the electronics in his house, so when AG3 / Ji Ah, first enters this house, he tells her that the floor vacuum is actually her Sunbae (which means her senior), because she's the newest. And he calls only his favorite electronics "lovely." Ji Ah had a rich and interesting story that was all her own, and she had agency even during her pretense in AG3. Her Friend Mode is one of the reasons the romance worked because Friend Mode was actually Ji Ah's personality. She was responding to him as she normally would, and that's who he fell for. Even when he thought she was the robot, he didn't treat her like an object. He didn't treat her like an appliance. He treated her like a human, like a friend. She made her own choices, even when he was in charge. When she wanted to just close down an argument or when he was trying to make her clean, she would be like, "I have to go in power save mode, or my battery's gonna die." And she would just drop her shoulders, and her head, and close her eyes, and it was hilarious. And he'd be like, "Oh, I'm going to get you better batteries. I'm going to get you the best batteries in the world." Oh, it's so cute. He was the reason the romance worked and her storyline was the reason why the overall drama worked.
Why my rating for this drama is not so high is me not enjoying all of the tertiary characters and some boring subplots. However, I still think it’s a good watch for its’ unique premise and amazing performance by the leads!

Great friends-to-lovers with internal struggles story, with a "Who's done this?" saggy plot.
No Ji Wook is a workaholic no-nonsense type of prosecutor whose career is on the rise. When a rookie attorney Eun Bong Hee becomes the suspect in her ex-boyfriend's murder and Noh Ji Wook is assigned to her case, their lives become intertwined.This drama really had a little bit of something for everyone, slice-of-life, court debate, mystery, and a natural friends-to-lovers trope. There's a lot of humor, and Bong Hee is one of the funniest endearing female leads I've ever met. The show switches tone between light-hearted scenes and very creepy and suspenseful scenes. What happened in the first eight episodes kept me engaged because I didn't know what's gonna happen next. I wanted to see them catch the bad guy and I wanted to see the leads together. There is also an interesting discussion about stalking, it brings up the question of where obsession begins, where is the line between a harmless infatuation and an unhealthy obsession
I enjoy watching Gi Wook and Bong Hee together in their chaotic work meetings. Their dialogue is really snappy, it's really fast and both have clear motivations for why they decided to take the judicial system as a career path. Their characters are very fleshed out. Both of them are flawed and they see each other's flaws and they still care and respect each other. He is a prosecutor but then messes up, loses his job, and has to start his own home office. Bong Hee was a mess too and then she's an even bigger mess when she gets thrown into jail. But she could fight and I love her portrayal of being realistically in a mess, she doesn't look perfect yet still gorgeous. I love how Ji Wook falls for her even though she's a mess, he has to take action as her prosecutor and put her in jail, but he is still fighting for her at that point even though he doesn't quite understand why. I appreciate the slight time jump done early on, as it catalyzes our lead's relationship progression, it's very believable.
If you're a Ji Chang Wook fan you need to see this. He is hilariously grumpy, He screams "IC!" all the time and he shows a lot of spice to his role as Ji Wook. He's also damaged from his childhood, and he needs skinship so badly that he's touching the walls. I had to mention that his behavior of dragging his fingers across the walls was because he is so lonely so he was like seeking touch... this part really lasts in my head.
Although I have many pros, my minor con is that there are very cringy scenes. My main con is the saggy middle. This part did annoy me, they filled a lot of episodes with the villain playing a whole guessing game back and forth, and I wasn't as invested because it kept repeating, my mind wandered while watching. I prefer some more development with the secondary romances instead because their relationship was interesting to me and I thought that they had the potential to be interesting.
(Spoiler part)
I want to give Dong Ha a shout-out for his role as a great complete villain. He was hard to pin down until the very end. He doesn't look scary, but rather a very unsettling one. A worthy opponent who is truly calculating, manipulative, and delusional. He did some impactful little quirks on Hyun Soo like he whistled and his whistling tune, which I thought really elevated the creepiness level. Overall, I really enjoyed how Dong Ha played the character and it made me want to see him in a romantic lead.

It's a coming-of-age, very slice-of-life story of friends to lovers.
Fight for my way centers around two childhood besties Ae Ra and Dong Man, who are chasing after their dreams in their 30's despite their lack of the best resumes. Dong Man is a retired Taekwondo fighter and Ae Ra works the information desk at a shopping mall but her dream is to become an announcer.The first thing I want to mention is the heartful performances of all the cast. The characters are so well suited for one another that I forget that they're acting. I think this is another best performances I've ever seen from Park Seo Joon since Itaewon Class. It's not over the top but it's just so believable and realistic and subtle, really brilliant! Each character is written to be very loveable, everyone is very flawed and they make mistakes, which makes me eager to watch their journeys.
However, the storyline around the first quarter of the series seems to have no reason to be there, I didn't feel its urgency and they have no arc at the end of the series. Because of the pacing and progression of the plot and all of the subplots is very loose to me. Had it been tightened up a little bit I think I would have enjoyed this much more. I wish they would spend more time maybe focusing more on the impact that Dong Man's sister had, knowing that he's losing the competition for her health because I was so interested to see this storyline being developed a bit more. I feel the ending is rushed and thrown out there, so it doesn't give a satisfying conclusion.
I ended up watching all of it because I really like the characters and their chemistry, both between the leads and also between the side characters. They're undeniably very interesting and fun to watch. I like how they emphasize the start of their relationship, their cute childhood scenes, and then the ending or potential ending of one. I love when shows do that, it reminded me a lot of "Because This Is My First Life". This is not a high-stakes romance drama, but more about the adorable romance of characters with big personalities and big goals of theirs. The true progression of friends to lovers is one of the best I've seen. So overall, this was a really entertaining watch, just expect some plot detours. :)

Wonderful but my boredom when watching it is significant. Chang Hee is my favorite part.
My Liberation Notes is a slice-of-life drama about three siblings and their mysterious neighbors; who are dissatisfied with life in one way or another. They live in the countryside about an hour outside of Seoul. The show is showing the character's journey that was so refreshing and realistic. Liberation is a journey of identifying and persevering to keep working through it. Identifying your struggles and finding the root cause is a hard thing to do. Acceptance and taking action to make things better is even harder.At first, I watch this because it has a similar premise because My Mister also followed the lives of three brothers. In My Mister, they come together to help each other heal along with the FL. Then also its' deep exploration of the character's mental states. But the main difference, at least this is my opinion, is while both shows are character-driven, My Mister has much stronger external plots and twists that make more eye-opening action scenes, much more than My Liberation Notes. In My Liberation Notes, the story progresses by following the daily lives, like the vlogs of these characters. So if you enjoyed My Mister, you may or may not enjoy My Liberation Notes. Don't expect the same exhilaration you get from My Mister here, but surely, both series present the same level of production quality and character arcs. I like My Mister better, but there were many good thought-provoking aspects of My Liberation Notes.
The first pro I want to mention is the comedy. I absolutely love how this series handles funny moments. It comes from a quiet moment, there's no dialogue happening and it's funny due to the previous or next scenes. For example, the part of Mi Jeon demanding Mr. Gu to worship her and the scene of Mr. Gu alone realizing the word worship means and seeing his reaction. My favorite one is when Chang Hee has done something to Mr. Gu's car and Chang He's about to confess but instead of wearing his slippers, he decides to wear his runners instead. It was so funny! Because you could see what the character was thinking without them saying it.
Regarding the plot, I thought the first four episodes were exciting. then it got super slow midway and then the last four episodes were so beautifully done. They give a very satisfying arc to every single character, and even if they didn't end on a completely happy note, I felt hopeful by the end. It is worth mentioning that the dialogue is so heavy all the time, the conversation these characters have is telling me some sort of message across. It's very tiring to pay attention all the time, so this show is not binge-able, but more of one episode a day watch.
Speaking of the characters, I was invested not so much in their character but more in their fantastic acting and their story and growth. Each character is carefully described and redeemed. I love how all the siblings would talk about things that most people I think would be ashamed and sometimes embarrassed to admit. I loved Mi Jung's inner strength and how she takes the initiative to liberate herself. I found her relationship with Mr. Gu is very unique and unconventional. I warm up to Mr. Gu throughout the story, but I am slightly disappointed that his alcoholism is not handled. But the best part for me is Chang Hee. Watching his scenes at first I feel already connected to him. Then I'm so happy that in the last four episodes or so, the story focuses a lot on him. I loved how his monologues came out and how he become more mature, his story was just beautiful. I'm thinking of rewatching the show only for his scenes.
I want to praise the OST and sound effects. There's a heavy focus on a lot of ASMR sounds, like people walking, eating, breathing, and sighing. Because this screenplay focuses so much on a character's introspection and how they're feeling emotionally, it's really really nice to have it paired with silence and ASMR sounds. OST was just so beautiful and peaceful. It fuels me to continue watching when I kinda doze off when watching too much heavy dialogue and mundane scenes.
