CONTAINS SPOILERS. PLEASE READ AFTER WATCHING :)

STORY:
So much suspense with every episode, you never know what people are thinking.
As you begin to watch more, probs around ep 5, you begin to realise there are more coincidences than what seems normal. For example, the cast interaction with each other at certain times. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a director on set, telling the cast members to go to a certain cast member and talk about their feelings etc. Because that was what happened on a Japanese dating show called Rea(L)ove.
I feel like the director made a terrible decision of adding 3 new contestants half way through the show and the ending proves this point as none of the new contestants becomes a couple. Furthermore, Hyunseung knew two the cast members which defeats the purpose of having the rule where they can't disclose their age and profession. Nevertheless, all the twist and coincidences made the show really entertaining.
It would be awesome if netflix made a special episode where the cast members are followed up to see if they still remained a couple and their feelings etc.

CAST:
YeWon: My favourite cast member and definitely the most underrated. She is fricken beautiful, not sure what is wrong with the guys eyes. She has an amazing outgoing personality, and her accent is so cute. I hate the director for not giving her much screentime. She always comforts the other cast members and gives them advice when she's probably hurt and torn herself. 😫 I feel like she doesn't actually like Junsik, they just chose each other because there was no other option. She probably likes Hyunseung more because when they had a conversation I felt like they both had a spark, but Hyunseung didn't want to take the risk of choosing someone new.
Jiyeon: My second favourite cast member and the most intelligent person in the show. I hate the fact that in the start all the the contestants and host were commenting on her skin colour and calling her pale, which shows the toxic beauty standards in korea. I felt the most sorry for Jiyeon around ep 2-6 because Sehoon kept on pushing his feelings on her despite her not feeling the spark, but in the end all his hard efforts pulled through and she finally started to open up. Which literally sounds like a Boys Over Flowers plot, where the SML is Jintaek, lmao.
Sehoon: OMG to I have a lot to say about this guy. He was my most hated cast member up until ep 7. He has psychopath behaviour when he kept pushing Jiyeon to talk. And I hated the fact that the host kept on gaslighting this behaviour and feeling sorry for him, like they should be empathising with Jiyeon! Anyways, I stopped hating him when Jiyeon liked him. It turned out that Jiyeon was just really sentimental and wanted to get her thoughts straight before she tries to replicate her feelings with Sehoon. 😊
Sihun: I don't understand why so many viewers dislike Sihun. He literally had to be honest and choose the girl he likes, hence why he chose Jia despite knowing she doesn't like him back. This is why I admire him, it would've been morally wrong to choose Sumin just because he want to be a couple.
[I know there are other cast members I didn't mention, but sis doesn't have all day to talk about everyone, so I'll just have to leave it here :)]

Rewatch value: I'd definitely watch a season 2 with the same cast for an update on how their doing. If there was another Korean dating show like this, I'd like it to be more realistic and more transparent with the viewers, because I felt that this was quite scripted.

Good OST

Plot: Started off strong, I was hooked after the first episode. But then after 5 ish episodes it started to get boring. There wasn't much character development and the ending didn't feel finished/rush. There is no explanation as to why the guys liked the female lead. This is a short webdrama, so you can't really expect much.

Acting: All the actors and actresses have such good visuals. They're all rookies, but did a great job acting their role.

Music: The only thing that kept me going tbh. I love all their OST. Please go check them out, they're all from small unknown artist, so please support! The title OST for this drama is "Running through the night" by Seori and "LOVE" by Leebada. I love the OST is so calming to listen to, definitely my taste!

Rewatch: Wouldn't rewatch, but I would be keen to watch a season 2 if they had one!

Get your tissues ready

By far one of the saddest dramas I've ever watched. From episode one I started to cry a river and was sniffing through out the whole thing. Truly moving story that teaches you to be grateful for the little things you take advantage of in life. Warning it's a sad ending, I was hoping the doctor or Aso finds a cure for the disease but sadly not which is the reality in life. I love how its based off a real story which is so inspiring. Sadly in real life Aya did not have a Aso, he was added to the drama :(((

Actors did a great job showing what it is like to have the disease. Ost is awesome. I'll definitely rewatch this drama if I need a good cry by myself.

PLOT:
At first I thought the plot was going to be about a powerful, manipulative female lead who is as sly as a fox. But I was so wrong! The female lead is a cute, innocent and naive girl, who is actually a fox. Lol. The plot was interesting up to episode 13 ish, but from there it became cliche and boring. The last 3 episodes are about who should die; they both love each other so much as would die for each other, each scene became quiet repetitive. The only thing that made me finish the drama was No Min Woo! He is so cute! I wished he could've had more screen time as he had so much potential.

Acting:
Both Lee seung Gi and Shin Min Ah are legendary actors, they both portrayed their characters well. Too bad the plot didn't develop their characters throughout the drama. Thanks to this drama I was able to discover Noh Min Woo, I'll definitely watch his other dramas, he is such an eye candy, heheheh.

Music:
I only heard 2 OST through out the drama, both sounds really good. I really like 'Trap' sang by the one and only Noh Min Woo. Every time there is a scene with Noh Min Woo and Shin Min Ah that song will play, and I'll just ball my eyes out because of second lead syndrome.

Rewatch value:
I wouldn't re-watch the whole drama as it does get quiet draggy in some episodes. But I'll definately rewatch the scenes with Noh Min Woo to help me get over my second lead syndrome. Lol

For those of you who want to watch this web drama, it is available on youtube with english subs. Just search up "진원" (Translates to JinWon), the videos are from the channel 'short paper.'

Story: The plot is about a girl named JinWon. She meets a guy called JaeHyun who works at a cafe. Then the guy becomes her tutor. Little coincidences occur between them and JinWon thinks it may be fate. Later they meet again at the same college, JaeHyun shows signs that he likes her. The end.

The drama is super short, 6 episodes, less than 10 minutes each. Very cliche. Personally felt like half the drama was silence and the girl staring at the boy. Good drama to watch if your bored and have lots of time to kill.

Plot: The Temperature of Language: Our Nineteen is a high school web drama that focuses the struggles of 6 senior students before they head off to university. This is a heartwarming drama that tells us the importance of friends. JinA is the main character in the drama, she learns that each person has their own struggle that she can't see, everyone goes through a hard time, but it is important that we don't blame ourselves for our shortcomings in life. And that we can always rely on our friends. Warning, get your tissue box ready for the last two episodes!

Acting: As always Jin Ji Hee does a great job acting. The rest of the cast are all rookies, but you can't tell because they all did a great job acting their character!
Music: OST wasn't used too much through the drama. The outro OST is really nice. Especially in the final episode, it keeps you feeling sad the drama has ended.
Rewatch: Keen for a season 2!
Overall: 9.5/10, a very good drama!!

This drama is basically many short stories played by the same 4 actors. Each short story is about one sided love in different situations. Each episode is less than 5 mins long, so there isn't much to it. I recommend watching this if you are looking for a short quick romance drama. I only watched this for Kim Hye Yoon, and skipped over the episodes where she isn't featured. Personally wouldn't watch again. I'd prefer a longer drama with more character development and an actual plot.
The drama features all rookie actors at the time. Everyone did a great job acting, compared to other webdrama rookie actors I've seen.
No OST.
Wouldn't rewatch, and wouldn't watch the other seasons. Not my kind of drama :(

*Warning the last paragraph contains spoilers/plot holes*

This is one of the only medical dramas I managed to finish- I dropped 'Emergency Couple' and skipped through episode of 'The Doctors.'
The plot is very interesting and action packed. This drama focuses very little on romance, despite its title. There is a lot to learn from this drama in terms of medical things. I've definitely learned a lot more about hospital life from watching this drama.
Acting was superb from everyone. No OST from what I can remember, mostly instrumental music.

-Spoilers-
There are many plot holes/unanswered questions.
Firstly what the heck happened to Do In Bum and Yeon Hwa? Did they confess to their crush or what?? What about the love triangle with Yeon Hwa, Nurse Park and Kang Dong Joo?
Did director Do remain as director?
What happened to teacher kim trauma project?
What was chairman hiding from teacher kim? why didn't he tell teacher kim after his surgery?
What is going on between that nurse from the main hospital and yoon seo joon ex from 5 years ago? Is the nurse babys father her ex?

Apologies if these were all answered in season 2, I haven't watched it yet~

The plot is kinda confusing, idk if I'm over thinking or if I've missed something. Of course since it's a movie the story and characters won't be as well developed as a drama. The climax wasn't that intense. Over all a light hearted romance movie. Story of lovers accepting each other despite a broken past.
I've noticed some floppy camera work here and there. For example there was a scene where Hyun Woo was talking to Jong Woo who was inside his car, when the camera was on Jong Woo it showed that the window was up, but then when the camera was on Hyun Woo the window was down, if that made sense. I thought movies would be seamless and have meaningful camera work, it's disappointing to see mistakes like this.

Acting is great. Both the main actors acted in top dramas.
Music is superb, it played a big part in the movie.
Re watch? Personally no, I'm not a fan of these kind of romance...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Overall this is a good drama. Not overly cliche, and has some unique elements to it. Each character is well developed through the drama.
I think every episode apart from the last two was well made. Every episode was funny and didn't felt dragged, except ep 15 and 16. Personally, I think that episode 15 and 16 ruined the drama, they were filled with filler and irrelevant scenes that didn't help with the development of the drama. But overall they were decent episodes. Most kdramas have their last episode filled with obvious sponsor products and advertisement, this one didn't do that. There were some loose ends I wondered about after the drama ended for example: Did Me Ri and In Seoung get together or with Mr Cha?

The acting is superb. You can never go wrong when Seo InGuk and Nam Jihyun is acting.
Ost is superb.

For those considering watching this:
Yes, most of the reviews of bad, the plot isn't that well developed. But you guys should watch it for the OST, the only thing that kept me going was the amazing OST! The OST made scenes 10x better than they are. Jessi, Bomi and BTOB beautiful voices really moves your heart. <3

The plot isn't that bad. It's not too cliche. The female lead is dominant and isn't overly naive. There is 1 second male lead that likes her, not 3, the title gave me false expectations. I was expecting all 4 'knights' to fall for her throughout the drama, but no.

Acting is great. I thought Na Eun did a great job for her first drama!

Music 100/10

Warning this drama gives you second lead syndrome!
Thanks to this drama, I've discovered Young Hwa, and he's now one of my bia wreckers. I'm planning on watching Heartstrings to get over my second male lead syndrome.

The plot is just like any other drama. A female lead and a couple of dudes that's into her. The female lead disguise as a guy and joins a boy band, the boys slowly fall in love with her. The female lead is naive, so the boys always cares about her. But in the end the female lead chooses the least compatible guy. The drama is light hearted and funny. No tissues neceassary.

Acting of female lead was awful. This is one of PSH first dramas shes the lead in, you can definitely tell her acting and emotions has improved a lot through out the drama!

I love the OST for this drama, definitely gonna save their songs to my playlist!

*Edit: Heartstrings isn't on Netflix, I'm so sad :(((((((

"I made a promise to her that as long as she's in my sight I will protect her no matter what" - Captain Ri

Warning! If you are planning on watching this go grab yourself a box of tissues, although one box probably wouldn't be enough.....

I wasn't expecting much from this drama, as I saw their cast was quiet old so I made the assumption that this would be another one of those dramas that the older audience would enjoy watching...But let me tell you, I was soooo wrong. I enjoyed every episode right from the start, it was an emotional roller coaster. The storyline is good and well developed. None of the cast was annoying, naive etc. I thought the ending would be like romeo and Juliet but thank goodness the ending was actually decent. This is definitely one of my favorite Kdramas of all time. It's because of dramas like these that I cannot find a man that can fit my standards. Now it's probably gonna take me another year to find a drama that can top up this one.

Perfect drama if you're feeling down and got nothing to do on Christmas.

The story is about 4 university students. They coincidently meet each other and their feelings start to grow...
The story is super cute and fun to watch, some scenes are sad. There's no second male lead or second female lead, etc. Nothing is dragged. The females confess, unlike most Kdramas. No misunderstandings etc.

I love the cast, the two female leads are from other webtoons I loved. Acting is good as always! Some actors came as cameos from Love playlist. The drama also has small references to love playlist but you can still watch it and understand what is happening perfectly.

Definitely need a season two for Harim and Bada. I would definitely rewatch.
Merry Christmas!!

This movie consists of 4 mini-stories, each directed by different people.
Each story is different from each other.

The stories are vague, we do not know why these things are happening, we do not know how the stories end, etc. All of the films have an open ending, so you can imagine what happens to the characters. And we don't have a solid answer as to why these things are happening to certain characters, but there are clues and dialogues that help us get a better understanding. Different viewers will have a different interpretation of what happened in each film and what it is about because we all look at things differently.

+Spoiler below+
To elaborate on what I wrote above, I will write what I thought happened in "Love Set". This is kinda gonna be an English film essay. Lmao. I'll try to be brief and talk about the main points.

This film was my favorite, I loved the cinematography and IU swearing in English. There is a deeper meaning then I thought about this film. (I'd like to thank "judah" someone from MyDramaList that commented on an in-depth explanation on this film, their interpretation of this film helped me get a better understanding).

At first, I thought IU liked the man playing tennis, but it turned out to be her dad. We first see her English teacher playing tennis with her dad, we know they are in a relationship because IU doesn't want them to get married. When the English teacher and her dad play tennis, they both smile and deliberately moan loudly, like they do when they have s*x. IU doesn't like this, as we can tell by her facial expressions. Than when IU plays with her father, she moans but her dad laughs. The father and the daughter have this relationship with each other as well. (I know it's soo disgusting and creepy). This relationship can also be confirmed when the father tells IU after the match "don't make strange noises when you play with other guys" whilst IU is hugging her dad from behind, and the camera focuses on her spread apart legs. When IU and the teacher play tennis they do not loudly moan, it's quiet and real. The teacher knows what's going on between IU and her dad, which is why she wanted her to "end things with your dad". At the end of one match she says to IU I won't marry your dad, she strokes IU hands suggesting that she cares for her and wants her to stop being in that kind of relationship with her dad.
