Cheese in the Trap really isn't quite your typical story, focusing a lot on human relationships and how we view others around ourselves without quite knowing them in the first place. The hype around the drama before it had aired already had me pretty pumped and when it finally started I was immediately hooked. Unfortunately I contracted Second Lead Syndrome in the very few minutes Baek In Ho had in the first ep. Despite my longing for Baek In Ho's happiness the most the other characters were so very captivating, namely our lead Yoo Jung.

The drama started off so well leaving us so very confused about Yoo Jung's true nature and shined in the moments where we would see a glimmer of the true Yoo Jung with his scenes with Hong Seol. Again Seol was also another interesting character- to be frank she was just a pushover, someone who needed to learn to stand up for herself and say no to others. This is where the drama's real charm comes into place, all the characters are like people we encounter in real life whether that be pushover's, imitators, people misunderstood by society or those who are plain lazy, we as viewers can relate to what hong seol feels when she has to deal with these people.

Regarding the controversies and disappointments with the end episodes, as a self-diagnosed Baek In Ho (Seo Kang Joon) fangirl I had no problem with his increased screen time and focus on his problems. In all honestly there was never going to be an ending the writers could come up with which would make everyone happy for this drama especially considering the manhwa is still ongoing so I do think they did a great job. Instead the ending lets us viewers fill in the gaps the way we want to which I very much appreciated.

To anyone looking for a funny, relatable story that also tackles some of the most annoying types of people you could have ever met don't even hesitate to watch this drama it's amazing. Even better is that now that its over you van binge watch it without the pain of having to wait every week!

One More Happy Ending was one perfect drama for me. A genius mix of greatly timed comedy, sickly sweet scenes and lets not forget the cheese. Yet no matter how much I would despise that sort of stuff in other romance dramas here it was pulled of so perfectly I was grinning from ear to ear. Yes the story is not original, its just like any other love story but its characters definitely set it apart.

That brings us on to the flawless acting. Our leads had so much chemistry I often forgot they were just a fictional couple. Jung Kyung Ho played such a loveable man that it was practically impossible not to fall for him. His charm and commanding presence on screen, the way he and Jang Na Ra bounced off each other in their scenes their energy contagious, any viewer could feel the budding romance. However this drama is also great at focusing on the more complicated relationships too. Our married couple who are on the brink of divorce who may well have well been the couple that truly all us viewers were rooting for had such a ride and great storyline it can make even those who doubt love crave it. Each of the girls had such different relationships, each one of them entertaining in their own way making this drama is a must watch for any romance drama addict.

The finale of this episode was also so perfect, something quite rare these days in dramaland as there are so many great dramas that lose steam by the end leaving us with a mess however here we get the ending that all viewers are satisfied with and seeing all of our characters happy. I do warn this drama will probably leave us all walking away wanting to find ourselves our own Song Soo Hyuk and unfortunately in reality that may be hard!

Moorim School is a show that has everything high school drama lovers would expect. The emphasis on friendship, the learning you go through in school with the added premise of some type of magic and a school we all wish we could attend.

Initially I was mostly excited about this drama because my boy Hyun Woo finally got the lead role. How long it took for this boy to star as main lead especially considering how talented he is. However this in all honesty ends up being your typical high school drama but that doesn't make it nonetheless entertaining. Its definitely a drama that just takes you along for a ride that you can easily get through. There isn't many major plot twists but there are some beautifully choreographed fight scenes so kudos to whoever came up with those!

Finally the ending of this drama is pretty satisfying. No character is missed out and you get the closure you wish all your k-dramas would give you. To those who point out plot holes I would advise you to remember that this is drama that was cut down from 20 eps to 16 so the writers did honestly do their best to fit all of their original script in there.

So be prepared for a drama that may not possibly have you completely hooked but keeps you coming back for more because of the hella cute main lead!!
