After many delays, I managed to finish all of the movies. All I can say is - finally!

It's a continuation and the last movie of the Mischievous Kiss The Movie trilogy. I had to finish it, despite the fact that there are no English subtitles for this movie yet after such a long time. The fact that I can understand only basic Japanese didn't stop me from watching this. The story - timeless, cheesy but classic, something that I've been familiar with ever since the original anime. I get why the directors wanted to create 3 separate movies - the plot is just too wide and there are many iconic scenes to be shown on screen. However, each movie progressed for the worse. This movie, out of all the three, was the most draggy, exhausting one to watch. It lacked some impact. Something should've been done with a boom. I probably got really tired of the whole cast. The most annoying character was the male lead and I strongly believe that it's not the character, but the main actor. In addition, the chemistry between the couple was completely lost in this movie. Why did I give a higher rating though? Well, it's a brilliant and nostalgic story that I grew up with. And it will always be in my suggestions.

Overall, this wasn't a bad movie, but it could've been way better. If you've watched the first 2 movies, go ahead and finish the trilogy with this one. However, if you're quite new to the Itazura na Kiss franchise, I'd strongly suggest watching the anime and the drama adaptations instead of this!

Ever since I finished the drama School 2017, I really wanted to get into watching all of the earlier versions. I started with this one.

School series in particular have this specific way to delve deeply into the problems of South Korean students. Who Are You: School 2015 was based on bullying and common family problems. Also, this version offered a lot of mystery elements which I really enjoyed. Sometimes it felt like you were reading a crime novel!
The storyline was quite hard to follow, especially in the first episode, but the eventually everything started to fall into place. I get why a lot of people like to be harsh critics of School 2015 (probably the second lead syndrome that everyone has gone through). Yes yes, there were so beautiful moments portrayed by the skillful actors, whom I already recognize from the previous drama that they've starred in. Some characters in particular made me mad and sappy, happy and sentimental. My emotions were all over the place and I guess it's supposed to be the main objective of the drama.
The OST was touching and enjoyed as well. Can't help but replay all of the songs after watching it!

If you're into school themed dramas that deal with teen problems and first love, this is the drama for you! The storyline is gripping, the actors are superb and the music will definitely enchant you!

I could firmly say that this is the best drama series that I've ever seen. First of all, the casting for this show was superb, all of the actors were so natural and perfect for their roles. I sang along to the soundtrack all the time and even now, I come back to the OST once in a while. Without spoiling anything I'd like to say that you really need to watch this drama 2 times at least. The first time you're gonna be smiling, talking to yourself and encouraging the characters. Also, you're probably gonna be very shocked as well. The second time, you're going to be viewing those characters a lot differently, but also laughing and hoping for a better ending.
Definitely one of the best Korean dramas out there. With a combination of comedy, romance and drama this will be a great series for a 2-day binge :D

This is a fantastic series! As a huge fan of the original Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim, to be truthful, I did not have any expectations before watching season 2. And boy how I was wrong to think the sequel could not conquer the first season. If anything, I would put both of the series alongside each other in terms of how captivating and beautiful they are. First off, this series, while keeping some of the original characters, offered other, very lovable and unique new leads, which made Doldam Hospital shine once again. I live for the character development in this series. It almost feels like that hospital in the countryside draws in very talented and charming individuals. Coming into this show I was very hyped to see Doctor Kim again! He is a very talented and lovable, both, as a character and as an actor. Compared to the first season, this one as well, had a very steamy romance, where the chemistry worked out perfectly (even with the side characters). Second, all of the cast is so lovable, even the bad guys at times. I enjoyed the little cameo that Doctor In Bom had for a bit. Third, the OST was as memorable as ever, with some songs definitely going into my playlist. Finally, this series left me amazed at how well it was executed. The staff behind this drama did an amazing job building a season 2. They need to make a final, 3rd season, with the reunion of the whole talented Doldam Hospital staff to wrap things up! Go watch both of the seasons right now!
