Stars Falling From the Sky

by claudya87
- Overall 8
- Story 7
- Acting/Cast 9
- Music 10
- Rewatch Value 6
I had moments when I liked the series, when I got bored or simply thought that the story was forced. But if we get over the first episodes that are hard to believe there were some funny moments that made me continue. The children were also cute but from my point of view the brothers were the ones who sustained the series.

Story : Was forced most of the times but the relationship between the children and the uncles/nephew was fun to watch. I couldn't understand Jae Young's stubbornness and actions and compared to her mother, I actually gave the last more credit. It's strange to say this but for me Pal Kang remained useless from beginning to end. My favourite character was of course Kang Ha who was very complex and offered great scenes. The sibling rivalry was well portrayed and intense.

Acting/cast : I felt that everyone played their roles well. I can't give it a 10 because there were a few flaws, not worth mentioning but still..Also this series lacked chemistry from the main actors, maybe I would've loved the series more if I saw some sparks flying.

Music : So many songs played in this series, a mix of global music. Older, newer, Korean, American, European..all good music.

Rewatch value : To be sincere, I don't plan on rewatching the entire series, maybe just the funny scenes. read more

Ushi ni Negai wo: Love and Farm

by claudya87
- Overall 6
- Story 7

- Rewatch Value 3
Well, this one's new. Let's play a simulation game of how to manage a farm. Choose your player. In this game you'll learn the basics of how to milk a cow, give food to animals and even be a veterinarian. Yay! You thought Tamagochi was fun?! Wait till you play this one. :)) And no..I'm not promoting any game or something like that, I was being a little sarcastic about the series. Sarcasm never hurt, right?!

Now..on with the review.

Whoever said that Toda Erica was a good actress must watch this series . :)) No, really now, watch it. You'll learn many useful things(or maybe not). And I actually thought she was decent in Liar Game and Code Blue.

Even from the beginning I couldn't take the series seriously. You have a bunch of guys with different characters sent together on the road to maturity. They'll learn all about responsibility, friendship and love. Oh, how fun. Too bad that there are so many series about the same subject. Wait, I don't remember any as a step by step guide to farming so I'll give points to that.

I don't have much things to say about the series. As I told you before, the story is about growing up psychologically speaking. The cast is doing it's best but it's formed mainly from second lead actors and it doesn't capture the interest. The music..one song Green Days by Makihara Noriyuki was nice. Just nice. Were there others songs ? Can't really remember.

Would I rewatch this ? Definitively..not! Even for rainy days I can find better series. read more

Tumbling

by claudya87
- Overall 8
- Story 9
- Acting/Cast 9
- Music 7
- Rewatch Value 6
From beginning to end I couldn't decide if I should give the series a 7 or 8.

Story : The story of bonding and working to achieve something together is not new. Many series have it, it's just the sport that differs.

Tumbling is a wonderful sport, I was always a fan of it. Also watching good looking boys do it it's more than entertaining. A bonus to the story is the background of the characters, most of them have problems that they must learn to overcome. My favorite characters are Ryosuke and Ryuichiro but Hino and Mizusawa are really interesting.

Acting/cast : Aside Yamamoto Yusuke who's character I found a little too much to bear(similar to Tamaki from OHSHC), I liked everyone.

Music : It didn't make me frantically look for the OST and I can't really remember one song from it but it was good.

Rewatch : Maybe I'll see it again but it won't be the same as the surprise factor is gone.

Conclusion : Not a bad series, not best either but the sport and the boys are wonderful. read more

Regatta

by claudya87
- Overall 6
- Story 6
- Acting/Cast 7
- Music 5
- Rewatch Value 4
I picked randomly.. I thought Matsuda Shota will make me watch it even if it's bad. I was half wrong as even Shota can't save a mediocre series, but I still finished it.

Story : There is nothing new about giving up a sport because of an incident and then encouraged by someone you decide to try again. The only original thing about it is the regatta part.

Acting : I'm a little disappointed by Hayami Mokomichi, he did a lousy job in this series. Still, I'll continue to watch his shows, at least he has potential.

Music : One song that repeats over and over. I like the song but it gets boring after a while.

My advice: Watch it only if you're a fan of the actors or you have nothing better to do with your free time. It's also good for people that like this type of motivational series. read more

Me too, Flower

I'll try not to be harsh as I loved the lead actor. Seo Jae Hui was and remained my favorite character until the end. I have to say that this is my first time watching Yoon Shi Yoon in a series, maybe I should watch King of Baking too. I wasn't a fan of the police woman and most of the times found her annoying. Even her sister was more interesting. Also the series is full of cheesiness and was boring at times. Maybe I'm twisted but I enjoyed watching Madam Park, I just love beautiful women, especially if they're powerful. I don't want to talk about detail, story and character development as I'm a little disappointed. The series doesn't offer new elements but tries to work with typical cliches. All in all an average series. I gave it extra points because of Yoon Shi Yoon and Han Go Eun who made the series from my point of view. read more

Temptation of an Angel

by claudya87
- Overall 7
- Story 6
- Acting/Cast 9
- Music 6
- Rewatch Value 5
I expected something good..as good as Temptation of Wife or even better but I was disappointed by some aspects. The actors did a great job, very convincing, a good choice of actors, but the story lacked a sense of reality. At times I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation and how some events were forced into the storyline. I'm sorry that I can't really give too much details but those who saw the series know what I mean.

I couldn't hate the main character, as selfish as she was I preferred watching her evil and calculative nature than Sin Hyeon Wu's transformation. I found Yoon Jae Hee annoying and her story too sugary for my taste. Even after it became clear who will win the battle, I continued to support Ah Ran, not trying to find excuses for her behavior but loving her strong and yet vulnerable character. The end was predictable but it was fair to the story.

I don't regret watching the series, but I'm sure I'm not going to see it again. My conclusion : not a bad series but it could've been better. read more

Love Marriage

by claudya87
- Overall 6

- Rewatch Value 4
I had this series on hold for such a long time that I was reluctant to continue.

Lee Kang Hyun is a couple manager who was at the peak of her carrier but after a fateful encounter with Park Hyun Soo, a divorce lawyer, everything began to crumble before her. When she finally finds a place to start anew she finds out that the "evil lawyer" is working just next door.

The story is of course predictable but the characters are not your everyday type. I especially love the two main men : Park Hyun Soo and Yin Kyung Hwan because their antics made me laugh a lot during the show. Lee Kang Hyun's friends give a real feeling with their concern and watching them literally punching someone for her sake gave me a warm feeling inside, I'd love to have friends like hers. I won't say anything about the main actress because she didn't convince me, her character was just too much to bear.

I love the story but the first episodes were a little boring. I'll also add a fluff alert : those of you who don't like cheesy love stories, this series might not be for you! read more

Ikebukuro West Gate Park

by claudya87

- Rewatch Value 7
This was better than I expected, It got me hooked from the first minutes. I loved Nagase Tomoya in this one - it\''s maybe his greatest series - but I\''ll have to add that other than him Kubozuka Yosuke did a great job as King.

What should I say more?! This series can be categorized as one of the best, a must see, as it combines the street factor with all the violence, gangs and raw characters with detective work and funny moments. For me this is the recipe to success.

The story of this KBS special is not that bad - it's not new either - but what is truly bad is the script. I keep saying that some series should get better writers. Anyway..it's bearable. Watch this if you have nothing else to watch and you're a fan of the actors.

Camouflage

- Overall 5
- Story 5

- Rewatch Value 4
This series is like art described in 4 stories in which Aoi Yu plays the main role. At the end and the beginning of each episode we are given details about the main ideas, inspiration and the director's thoughts.

The theme is lie and it can take on many shades. I'll have to say that everyone should pay more attention to the elements of the story and not the story itself.

As a whole it's presented as a contest between directors to make an ultimate masterpiece that will surpass the others. Can such a thing be made? I say it overwhelmed me. I feel that I couldn't well grasp the meaning of the stories so I remain staring as at a painting of Picasso saying that I didn't like it but the reason is more in the lines of " I don't have the capability of understanding it" read more
