Both the leading actors did such a wonderful job with their roles, they were equally important to the story, had amazing action scenes as well as emotional ones and both were total eye-candies hehe ?The law cases were also pretty interesting as well as the side characters, although No Tae Nam didn't become likeable to me even after the sort of redemption arc. Oh and the scene with Do Bae Man's aunt in labor was very cringey to watch ?
The OST was bomb! All the music matched the scenes really well, especially the song "My Zone" was really catchy and badass, it suited Wu In really well.
My final rating is 8.5/10.

The detective Lu Yao and inspector Qiao Chusheng were amazing characters though I have to admit that I found the reporter Bai Youning to be quite irritable at most times. I liked her as a reporter but I didn't like her romance subplot with Lu Yao, as she was often treating him so badly like locking him up in a room (and that happened twice!). But overall, I liked the trio of the main actors well. Out of the supporting characters I came to like Salim a lot!
At first I HATED the rap intro, but later it kind of grew up to me. The closing OST song was really beautiful and I loved the singer's voice, it was so emotional.
It was a very enjoyable drama and I would definitely recommend it.

I haven't watched any drama based around e-sports before but I heard a lot of praise about this one and also it has a lower number of episodes than other c-dramas so I started to watch it and I wasn't disappointed. One thing I would love to see in the drama would be more female players. I understand that Tong Yao was supposed to be the only one in the big league but there could be others too. Also I don't really understand why e-sports should be male dominated especially when the sport has nothing to do with physical strength so most men shouldn't be at the advantage here, right?
Anyway, I loved the friendships in their squad, each of the members was unique and interesting in their own way, I especially loved Fatty, K, and Lu Mao (anyone else shipping the last two? ?). I wasn't a big fan of the male lead but in the second half he became more bearable for me. Tong Yao was the cutest and I loved her. ?
My final rating for this c-drama is 9/10.

At first I thought that this was going to be a simple drama just about some people fighting monsters but it turned out to be so much more! Now I can fully understand why people prefer Song Kang's performance in this drama over some of his romantic roles because damn he really did amazing. The other characters were great too. Of course, my favourite character died again because yes everytime I have a favourite character in a drama that has a high chance of them dying, they always do. ?
The CGI monsters were scaring me so much at the beginning, it was almost unreal! Like I was legit thinking about dropping the drama somewhen along the first and second episode because the monster with the long tongue and the one with half of the head sliced off were scaring me so much. The other one that came later.. not so much, to be honest. Especially the flying eye one, it was just funny how weird that looked. ?
My final rating is 8.5/10 but I can't wait for the second season.

A very short but also very cute GL drama! The office setting was nice and the female leads
have a great chemistry together. There were
many sweet moments, which made my heart
flutter and even I was feeling butterflies in
my stomach hehe. The story is about Jung
Ah, who on the first day of work falls head
over heels for her manager Lee Ji Won. Her
daydreaming about her during work hours
was just so cute! The story ended with a big
cliffhanger but luckily there is a 2nd season.
I rate Am I The Only One with Butterflies? 9/10.

I'm always saying that I can't watch horror but I keep finding more and more stuff that
fit that genre. ? This drama appeared in the
top ten in my country on Netflix so I gave it a
try. And overall I was pretty much satisfied.
Although the twelve episodes seemed a little
bit too much (I think that eight or ten would
be sufficient to tell the story), the drama
didn't have bland or dull moments and was
moving steadfast. The groups of characters
were interesting, my favourite would be the
main group, or the one with the archer girl,
she was amazing. ? I also liked the
policeman, who was trying to save everyone.
On the other hand I absolutely hated Gwi
Nam and I can't from how much he was able
to survive, like all that fallings and such. ?
Overall I rate All of Us Are Dead 8/10,
enjoyable but it was missing something.

Sort of unpopular opinion but I liked season 2 even more than the first one. Giving Nanno
an adversary was the best thing the creators
could have done. Both the actresses did such
a great job and Yuri was somehow even
more chilling than Nanno, especially when
she was choosing more ruthless ways for the
revenges while Nanno usually chose the
sophisticated road in punishing the people.
I even liked the aesthetics and vibes of the
second season more. The intro was one of
the most beautiful intros I've ever seen with
all the blood, water, and flowers. Once again I
also have to appreciate the camera work and
I absolutely loved how one of the episodes
was in black and white but they also added
coloured items there, that fitted really well.
The second season overall was more epic,
more bloody, and more shocking than the
first one. Especially the fifth episode was
really disturbing to watch for me. I hope that
we are getting a third season as well, as I'm
not ready to say goodbye to Nanno & Yuri yet.
My rating for the second season is 9/10.

much an impression on me so I kinda put the
drama on hold but I was still determined to
continue watching it. I really liked the main
actress's performance though. There's some-
thing really eerie about it but in a good way.
After taking a small break I managed to
finish this drama in roughly two days, once I
got back into it I just couldn't get enough of
Nanno and all the cases at the schools she
has visited! Chicha did such an amazing job
with her role, it was awesome to see her act
especially how she was laughing, that was
phenomenal and always sending shivers
down my spine from how scary it was.
Some of the episodes I liked better than
others but all of them were of high quality
and were thought through as the characters
in them were often multidimensional and
gray. The whole drama spoke of bad deeds
committed by humans and how our society
reacts to them. The punishments Nanno
chose for the people were sometimes
justified, sometimes too much for the crime
and sometimes she was just playing with
people and it was just for the person
watching to decide themselves.
My final rating for Girl From Nowhere is 8/10.

This drama first caught my attention with the shorter number of episodes than most
c-dramas have and second with the plot as I
was curious about the city where women
were superior to men in terms of social
standing. But I liked how in the end it was
addressed that both the cities had its flaws
when it came to gender norms.
The costumes in this drama were different
from the ones I've seen in other historicals
and so beautiful! I really liked all the collars
of the dresses and the various layers and
colours of these outfits. Qianqian looked so
gorgeous in her red dress and Chuchu was
awesome in her warrior clothing (I'm still
wishing for an redemption arc for her ?),
Han Shuo looked a bit bland for my tastes
but he was very handsome in the modern
setting at least.
I loved the main leads's relationship
especially their cute bickering scenes at the
beginning but somewhere around the latter
half they were treating each other badly with
some forced kisses taking place but at the
end everything was good again. I honestly
don't think that the drama needs a second
season but if it ever comes out, I'll watch it. I
just hope that they will keep the historical
settings .
My final rating for this c-drama is 8.5/10.

This drama was sooo long. I started watching only because Dilraba is the main lead in the sequel and I wanted to know more about the story as a whole so I decided to watch this first. It took me five months to finish this ?I understand that they had to show these three lifestyles in the drama but honestly I don't even understand which was the first one since I assume that the one with Mo Yuan didn't count??
There were too many unnecessary subplots and characters and at the end I felt like some had more potential and some ends were pretty open and not concluded at all. Also sometimes I hated how Ye Hua was acting.
But on the other hand I liked the CGI a lot, I saw many people complain about it but in my opinion it wasn't that bad. The big battle in the earlier episodes was really great and I would love to see more big battles like that one.
My rating is 7/10. Not that bad but from all the hype, I expected more.

I didn't like season 3 as much as I liked the previous two seasons (I rated them both 10/10). I was sort of watching if when it was still airing so basically just one ep a week but I didn't mind that much since it wasn't that good and this way I could take breaks between the eps instead of watching them in one go. So many things has changed, many characters has come and gone (this time without coming back) and at the end I was legit sad that it was ending. This is the longest Korean series I've ever watched with the three seasons and I was at the edge of tears when letting go and finishing the last ep.
At least my favourite character got (sort of) a happy ending ? I was so emotional when the final scene came up, oh my god.
I give the rating 8/10, some scenes were too much and some characters seemed really unnecessary (eg. Alex) for the plot but overall it got better at the end.

The female lead was strong and nice at the same time and I loved how the male lead was a rich male dudebro but he was very supportive and kind too. The side characters were interesting and it was very nice to see a Korean movie centered around horse racing and horse riding in general.
I can't remember much about the OST in the actual movie but as the credits were rolling there was a really cute song which was sang by the two leads and it was really in their character.
A very enjoyable watch, which I will for sure repeat in some time. It really deserves the
rating 9/10 from me.

The first reason is the number of episodes. Mine has only one season with sixteens episodes and the story was well paced with a climatic end and it concluded really well. (I am currently on the third season of Penthouse and it gets draggy and tangled too much sometimes.)
I really liked how Mine showed lives of both the rich people and the poorer ones who were working in the two mansions as staff. It was really nice to see these two worlds collide and how everyone had their own problems, privileges, and duties.
Also wow, we got a lesbian character in there! And she was a major character! And so many people were supportive of her when they learned the truth about her! And she got a happy ending with the woman she loved! ? I was honestly so happy to see that. We need more casual representation like this.
For all these reasons, plus great acting and amazing plot Mine has earned the highest rating from me. 10/10!

I enjoyed so much watching all the residents of Hera Palace fight for the money, status, and most importantly power. I liked how we got to know the deeper backstories of some of the characters and how all of them were multidimensional and not just black or white, evil or good.
Overall The Penthouse deserves all the hype that it was getting and it definitely deserves all these high ratings as well. I highly recommend this drama!

I honestly can't believe how this got past Chinese censorship because damn this was definitely full of lovable lesbian moments and there was even an off-screen kiss but it was definitely there! :3
The actresses did a really great job, cheerful Xiao Qian was really cute and I was simping so hard for shifu Mu Yun tbh. <3 also notice how the title of the drama is just basically their shipname lol
Wish it was longer but despite its shortness it didn't feel rushed. Some plot holes occured along the way but I forgive them for the rest of the drama was amazing. We really deserve more wuxia GLs!
