10/10 there is none finer in any film
10/10 there is none finer in any filmThis is a masterpiece of life. It is a study in quality. It is a quiet and beautiful story of choices in a life. There is no trauma, no blood. It is quiet, sweet, yes full in its truth. It reminds me some of the master chef in midnight diner. (another gem) but this is day. The discoveries of the apprentice also change the master. It has a zen quality, it is a story of the heart between friends. It is beautifully made. I was never bored. Each episode is a short 35min or so.
Easily digestible.
I found it magical how everyone responds and enriches eachothers life. I hope to watch it all again soon.
10/10 Perfect in every way
All the characters were so well cast from the main characters to the supporting roles. The warm lighting in the cafe and the muted colors of the costumes created a comfortable ambiance overall, a restful feeling that, along with the pace of the movie, gives the viewer time to absorb all the nuances. At 30 minutes, each episode is the right length, not compressed nor stretched out unnecessarily.
The storyline is a reminder that the ordinary occurrences in ordinary lives are often the ones most meaningful and worth remembering. There's no great drama, no unsettling conflict, just a learning series to give the viewer something to think about and appreciate.

10/10 The Best Korean Drama In 2018... Its Feel Like You're Watching Movie
10/10 The Best Korean Drama In 2018... Its Feel Like You're Watching Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Story, acting, twist, and cinematography are very well done.
You can't wait to watch next episode after every episode done. They almost make every episode feel like you watch movie, very tense horror thriller. Its really breakthrough K-drama you can watch. My self are really picky when come to matter of watch TV Show because in many case they can't hold the tension and excitement until few episode left out, but i can say "The Guest" are managed to surpass that problem. The chemistry between three leads are very good and every scene about possessed are really creppy and believable. If you really like horror, with thriller, suspense, excorsist, i strongly suggest you to give it a shot to watch this series. Its pure tense without some unnecessary love scene like other mainstream K drama.

10/10 I can't believe only 29 reviews so far
10/10 I can't believe only 29 reviews so farI've just finished watching this series for the second time, and I think I may wait a few days and start it all over again.
What a beautiful show. I sobbed like a baby just now in the ending, even though I saw it the first time a few weeks ago.
The show is just simply beautiful, wonderful, exhilarating and many more adjectives.
I loved all the leads, despised none except the grandfather, but he was acted exceptionally as well.
I fell in love with the king (the prince/princess), Royal Scribe Jung, her love interest. Oh my that I was years younger and in Korea! As the crown prince/king, the female lead was wonderful. Her expressions, her mannerisms, everything was so well acted! And Scribe Jung - so handsome, and when he blushes or looks at her with love, you just want to melt.
The acting overall was superb, and I cannot tell when I last enjoyed a show like this. I watch a lot of Netflix shows, I even watched Squid, and I watched Bridgerton twice, but I am in love with the King's Affection and have really been blown away.
I gave this 10 stars and if I could have given it 20 l would. If you haven't watched this yet, and you love a good story with good drama, romance, love, action, fighting and excitement, then put this as top priority on your list, and then come back and write about it. I'm reading every review! I can't get enough of this show.

10/10 A Masterpiece--The Pinnacle of K-Drama in 2024
Having been a casual fan of Korean dramas for several decades now, I'd venture to guess this Korean drama is a top contender in terms of artistic quality and storytelling for2024. Regardless of where it ranks in your personal list, it is undoubtedly brilliant television! It is remarkably executed with superb acting, beautiful cinematography and set design, and thoughtful portrayal of delicate historical material.
The show brings the traditional art of pansori to life, highlighting its lyrical beauty and poignant roots. As usual, Kim Taeri does no wrong, pouring her heart and soul into every scene.
I also cannot stop singing praises about the depth of the story. It includes elements of coming-of-age and chasing your dreams, mystery, friendship and rivalry, family relationships, and more. I'm grateful for this vivid celebration of pansori's art and emotions, brought masterfully to the screen with humor and heart.

10/10 It is not what i expected, but in a good way
10/10 It is not what i expected, but in a good wayI'm not really into korean drama, especially a korean drama with a comedic touch like Eulachacha Waikiki. The first episode not really remarkable for me, i confused with the characters name and some of the comedy skit not really
"funny' for me. But the more i watch the next episodes, the more the waikiki gang grows on me. Kang Dong Gu, a narrow minded but caring alpha chad. Lee Joon Ki, the main star for the comedy side of the drama. Bong Doo Sik, innocent looking guy but actually good at almost everything. Han yoon-ah, sweet-strong-loving mother. Kang Seo-Jin, hardworking woman with beard in her face. Min Soo-ah, tough looking woman and a 'famous' model. Last but not least the cutest baby ever in a tv show, Baby Sol!
Every single day the waikiki gang have their own struggle and the writer is really creative with it. The theme of each episode will always be unpredictable, with all the craziness available in the world.. ranging from getting stuck in a car due to brake failure to playing hide-and-seek in the market while drunk. I see the writer is having fun writing on this drama.
Overall this drama change my view on korean drama, i think started to like korean drama..from their language, culture, acting and style of comedy. Well done, 10/10 for me!

10/10 A Must Watch
If you had told me five days ago that I would be this enthralled about a series revolving around a Korean professional baseball player on the brink of being signed by an American Major League team being sent to prison for assaulting a sexual predator, I would not have believed it.Yes, I am a Korean drama fan and knew this series was well received in Korea but had dragged my heels on watching it.
Who knew that this series would be chockful of so many funny, heartbreaking, happy, sad and truly heart-tugging moments? Each of the main characters has a rich personality and you quickly find yourself emotionally wrapped up in their stories. Each episode is about an 1.5 hours long with 16 episodes so there was plenty of time to flesh out the stories and characters, whether the prisoners or their guards. Of course, we know it is far from what goes on in a real prison but the humanity and character depicted in this show leaves us with hope that we will look beyond th prison jumpsuit or the guard uniform to find the human inside. Watch it, you won't be disappointed!

10/10 A must watch RomCom drama.
10/10 A must watch RomCom drama.Though the boy isn't gay, but at first he lied that he's a gay to achieve a thing. But he falls in love with the girl and tells he's not gay. Proves it. When he's proving it he has to go through a tough time.
10/10 Awsome!
Overall review is awsome! As usual, his acting skill do not fail, so he is not only a handsome face on screen. The idea of the drama and what you can learn from it is not bad. Also the funny moments actually maked me giggle.. which doesn't happen often for me. Also, the number of episodes are not 2... maybe multiplied by 10. I was so captivated by this drama that I finished it in less than 2 days

10/10 One of the best TV shows around...must see.
10/10 One of the best TV shows around...must see.Hi,
This was the 2nd Korean Drama series I saw. The first one was the acclaimed drama series Da jang Geum.And it made me curious of the socalled "Korean Wave". After reading the reviews I chose this show.
Wow i have to say...this show beat all expectations. matter of fact its so good..i have rated this as one of the best TV (mini)series ever. A must see.
The story seems pretty straightforward and quite easy to get into. A cross between Cinderella and she's the man. The synopsis tells the story.
But this is not a Hollywood made show.It goes much deeper than that. Where this show truly excels is portraying the relationships of the different characters in the show. Maybe its my Asian background. But the way they portray it and decisions made comes so close to my own experiences that its downright scary and also very touching.
I guess it explains the huge success of the show...who ever watched this. They will see a parallel to their own situation.
From a difficult relationship between a father and a son, to a mother trying to balance her need to find a new partner and her duty towards her daughters.
To me it was the start of the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship between EunChan and KanKyul. It mirrors my own experience so closely. The calling game, the little games you play with each other that could lead to misunderstandings and fights. And all this because you are afraid of the strong feelings you have for another person. Not knowing how to express it or how the other person feels about you. The beautiful thing is...they take there time to portray this and it works real well.
Where Hollywood stops with just the love story, this shows continues exploring and portraying the relationship behind the lovestory.
I can't recommend this how highly enough. A must see.

10/10 Korean Dramas would never be the same again..
10/10 Korean Dramas would never be the same again..The title head pretty much described it all, with such unique story line of modern fairy tale and the harsh reality, it was sure hardcore for everyone who watched the whole series.
They have deviated from the usual KDrama style, plot and conflicts. It is fantasy by the way, but the great thing is that it was not greatly emphasized in the early episodes (the switching part). They did not spend most of the time in different bodies, in contrast to what others would have expected. Sure it was fun to watch the actors played so well but in the latter part it played a big role in story development and made the story what it is: destiny, love, magic and everything else in between.
More on the deviating from usual KDrama trend, let's go to love triangles. Pretty much empty, for the first part again I expected Oska and Yoon Seul to be big third parties in the rel. of the main characters (just like in Full House) but again wasn't interesting anymore. Another thing is the conflict between Joo Won's mother. I thought it would be another main conflict but the theme of the story prevailed: Love conquers all! I would also like to commend the writer for such great plot. I love that she did not revealed everything in the first parts, opposed to many Dramas that tells the social status of both protagonists, family background and conflicts at the start of the story. If it had been like that, it would not make the story interesting (I was really guessing what could have happened to Ra Im's father, or Joo Won's life-changing accident, nor how the Oska-Yoon Seul bitterly ended).It was obviously not a character-driven plot, it was more on what's going to happen to Gil Ra Im and Joo Won next that would help clarify the past.There were many metaphors, symbols and recurring themes (eg little mermaid and if you had not appreciated this series, I say you missed it. Clearly, it was a work of a genius to think of such great script and plot.
Another common mistakes of dramas is that you would end up loving the actors because of empty reasons. Secret Garden got me so hooked up to Gil Ra Im and Joo Won that i did not bother searching their names in Google when i was watching the series (I only did that after finishing the series). Their undeniable chemistry would sure fire up the intensity of the key plots, making them effective actors.
BOTTOMLINE: I fell in love with the characters! Not with the actors!
The ending was absolutely perfect. It wasn't a fairy tale like ending. Ra Im did not turn into Cinderella, nor Joo Won into Prince Charming. In the end, it was their love that prevailed amidst imperfections in their relationship and differences.
Finishing the story with the lines, "We still don't have a single wedding picture, but we tall in love every single day, like living a magical life". That's what I true magic brings into our lives: blissful love beyond imperfections
The story itself was well-written, plot was well-thought, the casting and the chemistry of the actors have pretty much set the tone for the success of the series. This may sound biased but overall i say this is the BEST KOREAN Drama i have seen in years, and I would be sure there won't be any DRAMAS that will be as good as this in the coming years.

8/10 My Name Is Gabriel (ep 1-3 with Park Bo-gum)
8/10 My Name Is Gabriel (ep 1-3 with Park Bo-gum)Just watched this tonight, in June 2026, and loved it. What a lovely and talented bunch of people The Ramparts are, and how lovely and welcoming the parents were towards their temporary son. It was so touching seeing the choir members talking about how the choir had impacted their lives. And it was clear that whilst they were paying tribute to their true long time choir leader, there was also genuine warmth and appreciation for their temporary 'Rory'. I only watched due to having recently discovered the actor Park Bo-gum, especially in the incredible 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', and 'Record Of Youth'. I'm so glad I did, as 'My name is Gabriel' was a great and fun concept, and it was truly heartwarming to watch Park Bo-gum being his own lovely self, and enjoy being a part of The Ramparts if only for just 72 hours.

9/10 Justice Gets Dirty: A Gritty, Addictive Legal Thriller That Keeps You Guessing
I was casually scrolling through Netflix looking for something easy to leave running in the background, ideally an English-dubbed Korean drama, when I stumbled across the Thai limited series The Evil Lawyer. Safe to say, that plan went out the window almost immediately. What started as background viewing quickly became a full-attention binge because this legal thriller is surprisingly juicy, highly engaging, and, in many ways, uncomfortably relatable.Set against the backdrop of a deeply flawed justice system, The Evil Lawyer follows Mek, an idealistic young attorney whose belief in the law is shattered when he is framed for murder. Forced into an uneasy alliance with the notorious defence lawyer Jittri, a woman known for exploiting loopholes and bending the rules, Mek finds himself navigating a world where justice and morality rarely go hand in hand. As they unravel a larger conspiracy involving politicians, police officers, judges, and powerful criminal figures, the series continually asks whether doing the right thing is enough when the system itself is broken.
As someone who has become increasingly cynical about the judicial system in my own country, I found myself understanding-and at times even agreeing with-Jittri's methods. When powerful people abuse their authority and manipulate the system to their advantage, it becomes easy to see why some believe the only way to fight dirty is to fight back just as hard. That moral complexity is one of the show's greatest strengths. It never offers easy answers, and it constantly challenges viewers to question where they personally draw the line between justice and revenge.
What I particularly appreciated was Jittri's investigative team. Instead of surrounding herself with polished professionals and elite experts, she recruits people whom society often dismisses as troublemakers, thugs, or social outcasts. Beneath their rough exteriors, however, are intelligent, resourceful individuals who understand the realities of injustice better than most. Their street smarts, connections, and lived experiences become some of the team's most valuable assets, adding another layer to the show's themes about privilege, prejudice, and power.
The cast is excellent across the board, but one standout for me was Kob Songsit Roongnophakunsri as Anan Methaneepaisal, the series' main antagonist. Rather than playing the role as an over-the-top villain, he delivers a calm, measured, and quietly sinister performance. He carries himself like a respected elder, speaks with confidence and authority, and even presents himself as a man of faith. That restraint makes him far more intimidating than a stereotypical villain ever could. I genuinely didn't expect his fate in the finale, which only added to the shock value of the ending.
Speaking of the finale, the last episode is absolutely explosive. Just when I thought I had figured out where the story was heading, the series pulled the rug out from under me. The twists were unexpected, the stakes felt enormous, and the final revelations left me genuinely stunned.
What makes The Evil Lawyer so compelling is that nobody is truly innocent. There are no flawless heroes or purely evil villains. Every character operates within shades of grey, often making questionable decisions in the name of survival, justice, or self-preservation. The series understands that people are far too complex to fit neatly into categories of good and bad, and that realism gives the story its emotional weight.
The writing is layered and packed with surprises. Each episode peels back another layer of the mystery, often revealing that what seemed like the truth was merely a distraction from something much larger. The drama also takes inspiration from real-world crimes and social issues, touching on corruption, exploitation, human trafficking, and abuse of power. The interconnected storylines are cleverly constructed, and the character development feels thoughtful and earned.
Despite its heavy themes, the show also knows when to have fun. Some characters are intentionally larger than life, and a few moments border on the ridiculous, but somehow that becomes part of the series' charm. There are comedic scenes that help break up the tension, including one particularly hilarious sequence involving witnesses attempting to fabricate an alibi, complete with an exaggerated flashback that had me laughing out loud.
My only real criticism is the length. While I never found the show boring or difficult to watch, I do think the story could have been told more efficiently. For me, eight episodes felt slightly longer than necessary for the premise. A shorter limited series or even a two-part film might have delivered the same impact with a tighter runtime. That said, the pacing remains solid throughout, and there is very little filler.
I'm honestly surprised this drama isn't rated higher. It's a refreshing alternative for viewers who are feeling burnt out by the endless cycle of romantic comedies and supernatural dramas. Fans of The Lincoln Lawyer, Better Call Saul, Suits, The Good Wife, and The Good Fight will likely appreciate its darker, morally ambiguous approach to legal storytelling.
By the time the credits rolled, I wasn't left with simple answers. Instead, I was left questioning my own beliefs about justice, morality, and whether doing the right thing is always enough. For me, that's exactly what makes The Evil Lawyer such a memorable watch. And after that jaw-dropping ending, I definitely wouldn't say no to a second season.

10/10 Captivating
10/10 Captivating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is the second series starring Park Seo Joon that I have watched (before I watched She Was Pretty) and I am amazed not only of the high calibre of the young stars but the beauty of filming and the perfection of the production.
The love stories are similar but still leave the viewer spellbound and anxious for the next episode. The Koreans should export these productions world-wide, as audiences everywhere will totally enjoy these beautiful young actors and actresses mesmerise the viewers with their performances. Thanks for great entertainment!
