Story: (8.0/10)
In terms of romance, this drama is awesome. The main couple had a lot of chemistry, the love scenes was wonderful. I got jealous of them because I wanted a romance like that. But well, for some people the story can be boring and the last episodes was pretty bad. In general, it's a medium story, nothing impressive.

Acting/Cast: (9.0/10)
The cast is good. They chose very well the male and female lead because they had a wonderful chemistry. The others characters was also well played but Jung Hae In and his sister (i don't remember the actress name), stood out the most. I really loved Jung Hae In's character, he was so loving, caring and a great boyfriend. Actually he was a boyfriend material.

Music: (9.0/10)
OMG I LOVED THE OST!!!!!!!!! The soundtrack was incredible and made the moments of the couple more beautiful and enjoyable!

Rewatch Value: (7.5/10)
The romance is really good so it can be valid to watch again but not the entire drama because the story isn't that much great.

Overall: (8.0/10)
I feel that the drama started very good but got lost in the final episodes. The female lead is so boring and immature... I got tired of her. Of course the main lead isn't perfect but I felt that he was much more mature than her. Anyway, it was a drama that I enjoyed watching. The plot isn't that great and the last episodes was a mess, seemed like the directors got lost about the story but I really liked the romance of the main couple so I don't think it was a lost of time after all. The final episode could be better tho. I think you must watch to make you own opinions.
Now I have to wait for the next drama that Jung Hae In will do because I'm completely in love with this guy HAHA.

Delivered what I wanted and it was exciting for sure!

First, If you were excited about the action scenes you won't be disappointed because these scenes were amazing and very well directed. We have a lot of fighting scenes in this and they don't disappoint. We also have a lot of gore scenes too which I found a good thing because we`re talking about a revenge drama involving gang so we needed more realistic things. The photography and OST were also very good, I loved the OST. Talking now about the acting, for me Sohee and Hee Soon were beyond amazing. I was worried if Sohee could pass a badass image but she did. She was amazing in the fighting scenes and very good in the emotional scenes as well. After Nevertheless, which a lot of people doubted her acting skills, I think now she really proved that she's an amazing actress indeed. She was fierce and very strong physically and psychologically. And OH MY GOD, Hee Soon`s acting was INSANE. he was my favorite character of the drama. The actor did an amazing job here portraying the character and I think its almost impossible not liking him here. Moojin was sexy, bad and at the same time very human too. And the actor delivered everything PERFECTLY.

But, I do think the drama have some flaws and things that I think it could have been better. First, Jiwoo`s father killer was too obvious since the beginning. Although I don't particular think that the drama was ruined because of that, they could have tried to surprise the viewer more and the whole revelation was meh for me as a viewer. Second, some characters was really off for me and could have been better or more explored. Taejoo for example, I think they could have made the character more capable because I can feel that the actor can act and if they had made the character more interesting he would probably be one of the best or if not the best in the series. Instead, the character was just there to be Moojin's right arm and that's it. There weren't any impactful scenes of this character and he practically didn't do anything relevant. Pildo too... I LOVE Bohyun but for me his character was really meh. His whole relationship with Jiwoo also seemed a bit forced and I didn't even think the actors had that much of chemistry (I even felt more chemistry of her with Moojin). The crazy dude with a scar was amazing in acting but his character was really cartoon like. And least, one thing that I think it can bother some people is that making a badass character it can bring a negative side too such as he or she being TOO strong sometimes. Jiwoo was weak when the script needed and hella strong when needed too which looked unrealistic sometimes.

Still, for me, although the negative things can bother sometimes it can also be forgotten because the narrative is really convincing and the drama is really well made. Also, they delivered the things I think we were all waiting for: an exciting thriller with good fighting scenes and a a badass female character beating some trash men. If you're looking for that, I think you'll finish this with more pros than cons.

OMG, I LOVED THIS DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even with a few cliches here and there, it was one of the few dramas that actually talks about how marriage is in Korea, and how women are treated in society, especially at work.

Story: (9.5/10)
OMG, I LOVED THIS DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even with a few cliches here and there, it was one of the few dramas that actually talks about how marriage is in Korea, and how women are treated in society, especially at work. It's very different from what I usually see and it's quite different from the k-drama standard.
Ji Ho and Soo Ji were the queens of this drama. They have been able to show how women can be strong, independent and self-owned.
Ji Ho faced a lot of problems during the drama but never kept silent about them and especially Soo Ji, she was a REAL QUEEN.

Acting/Cast: (9.0/10)
They chose the cast very well. I felt that every actor and actress was the perfect choice for their prospective characters. The main actress who played Ji Ho knew how to demonstrate every emotion of the character, we could feel everything she felt. She wasn't too slow or too crazy. She had a really nice balance that made all of us like her, which is sometimes,difficult in k-dramas. The main actor was perfect too. I loved his character. Ji Ho and Se Hee were very cute together. I loved their partnership, their support to each other, their "freedom", because yes, even married, they weren't in a jail. I loved that they were totally against what korean society expects of them.
I loved all!!!!

Music: (9.0/10)
Loved the soundtrack!!!!!! Each song fit the scene and made everything exciting. I downloaded two.

Rewatch Value: (9.0/10)
It's so good that i'm watching again. I think everyone will want it too.

Overall: (9.0/10)
It was one of the best k-dramas of the year, brought a great story, wonderful characters and  left a huge void in me after I finished. It's a must watch drama!!!!!

A beautiful bond between a mom and her daughter

I think the synopsis can be misleading because this drama here it’s more like a family drama than anything. At the beginning it may seems like it’s going to be a drama about mother and daughter looking for love/boyfriend but then the drama totally turn out to be about love involving family, especially about a mother and her daughter.

For me this drama was a good surprise because I didnt think I was going to love that much. All characters are so lovable and charismatic, I loved all of them. And the bond all of them made it’s so precious too, especially the mom-daughter relationship. Their scenes was amazing and I even cried in some of them. I saw myself in Sora a lot. Also the two main actresses was really good and now I’m a fan of them. And I LOVED Sora-Hikaru relationship omg I wished we had more scenes of them being a couple :( Aoi and Gon were cute together too. I think this it’s the only thing I have to talk negatively about this drama because I loved these relationships so much but sadly none of them are really executed :( In the end we don’t know for sure that Sora will end up with Hikaru and Aoi with Gon (altought we can feel that). I just hoped we could seen more scenes with them becoming a couple because they really have chemistry. But yeah, I do understand that this wasn’t the main focus of the drama. It’s about the love and bond of a mom and her daughter. It’s about family.


If you like slice of life dramas with great characters, acting and a great pace (without feeling that the scenes are too boring), I really recommend this.

A few flaws but still refreshing

I knew I would like this drama since the beginning and they really captivated me. I mean, how can we not be captivated by such cute village? Gongjin village really made me wanna visit and live there. And the characters here are really charismatic too, with only a few ones that I found irritating. Let’s talk more about them and the drama’s story below.

First, Dusik is probably one of the best male characters of the year. I loved this man SO SO MUCH he was so real and a perfect mix of a cutie and a intelligent wise man. Hyejin on the other side was difficult to love at first because the way she treated Dusik was pretty annoying. But she got better in the half of the drama and I liked how she was there for Dusik when he really needed as he was there for her when she needed too. And althought I think she was annoying in some scenes, I still found her character relatable in many others. The couple omg…I DIED IN ALL THEIR SCENES!!! They had such a good chemistry, I loved them. As the other characters, I really liked them especially the grandma, Hyejin’s friend, the policemen, Sung Hyun, Chun Jae and his daughter. Actually the kids here was amazing I loved all of them. I need to talk more about Sung Hyun because it was such a lovely character. I liked how he respected Hyejin’s decision and made a friendship with Dusik. I hate love triangles in dramas so I really liked this. The only characters I found annoying was Nam Seok and Yeon Duk. At least Nam Seok got better later…which I can’t say the same about Yeon Duk because I still didn’t liked him even in the end.

Talking now about the story, it’s pretty simple actually but I was really addicted, maybe because it’s a refreshing environment with a lot of different characters. But I can’t lie, some things bothered me a little and I got the “it could have been better” feeling. Dusik’s past for example. For me, I had the feeling that everything happened too fast and it was resolved too fast too. And I don’t know if it was only me but Hwa Jeong and Yeon Duk getting back together too was so “?” for me I HATED! Maybe because I didn’t liked this character but it seemed too forced for me. Other thing that made me really angry was grandma death. I think the writers wanted Dusik to see death as a thing it’s not related to him but seriously he could have seen that without making the grandma die. For me it was such a needless move, and it was done in the last episode too which seemed a little forced as well.

Besides these flaws, I still liked this drama. Gongjin’s scenery, the cultural, the local food, the characters, everything in this drama it’s really refreshing and if you like dramas that are focused on people living their daily lifes I really recommend this. Hometown Cha Cha Cha it’s a refreshing and healing drama and for sure it’s going to be remembered .

PS: I loved the OST as well for sure It’s going be one of my favorites of the year.

It’s not perfect but definitely one of the best thillers

Flower of Evil is a thriller and at the same time a melodrama and this can bother some people but for me it was fine as I was really invested in the characters stories. For some people the scenes can be too emotional in the half of the drama but for me it made sense based on the things that was happening in the characters life.

Flower of Evil have a lot of positive things. First, the story about our main lead Hee Seong/Hyun Su is REALLY interesting and made me lose my mind the whole time. I was really curious to know more about these characters and what happened in their past and I couldn’t see plot holes in it, everything made sense for me. Even tho it was obvious for me that Hyun Su wasn’t the accomplice of the serial killer (because come on he’s main lead he couldn't be the villain) I still found the plot pretty interesting and exciting. The relationship between the main leads are awesome as well and the actors had a wonderful chemistry together. The OST was AMAZING too seriously I loved all songs and bgm. The acting was other thing that I loved and all actors did an amazing job here especially Joon Gi, who was fenomenal as usual, Chae Won, who was in the same steps as him, and the actor who did the serial killer, who was amazing too (and seriously hot lol). As I said, this drama have a lot of positive things and I was really addicted to it, I couldn't stop watch. The director certainly knew what he was doing here as almost all episodes were exciting and thrilling. It’s like you finish one episode and can’t move one without watching the next episode lol

The things I didn't liked about this drama was the characters actions in some episodes and the finale episode. First, Hyun Su not noticing that his wife figure out everything was no sense for me because PLEASE she is a police officer and was investigating his case, and on top of that she changed her attitude towards him out of nowhere so it's odd that he didn't noticed anything. And how do they leave their daughter with Hyun Su's sister without any protection from the police? The fact that they didn't think that the serial killer could go after them was ridiculous too. The last episode was one more thing that I didn’t enjoyed, I don't know it looked TOO forced. Memory loss it’s one of the worst things that can happen in a drama because most of the time only drag the plot and doesn't benefit the drama at all. And altought I think I know the reasons why the screenwriter put this on the drama, Hyun Su losing his memories was too random for me, seriously the end could have been way better. It was like EP15 was the finale episode, not the EP16.

But even with some flaws, I can totally understand why this drama was really popular last year and why its considered one of the best thrillers. It is really interesting and captivating and I totally recommend this if you like thriller because I think its almost impossible not like this one.

A good drama with an interesting concept but with some downfalls

I was REALLY excited to watch The Devil Judge mainly for the cast because all actors are really good and as expected I don't have complains about this. Every actor did an amazing job here! Jinyoung was really good and he definitely proved that he's one of the best idol actors out there (although he isn't an idol anymore), but Jisung and Min Jung are really the best thing here. Jisung as always portrayed the character PERFECTLY, we can always trust him in acting, and Min Jung was fenomenal too. The way her character is sassy and evil but at the same time she's always classy and calm is *chef kiss*. Jang Young Nam as the justice minister was really good too! As I said I think everyone did a good job here so the best thing about this drama for me is definitely the cast and the good acting.

Among the characters in the drama the most interesting ones were certainly Yohan and Sun Ah. They both did what they wanted and even manipulated certain things but with completely different intentions, as Sun Ah did everything for money. I really enjoyed the interaction of both characters and for me they were the main point to move the story and make the viewer like the drama and want to watch it more. Many may think that Sun Ah`s suicide scene was random but I believe it was the only option for a character who would rather die than seeing that everything she had conquered was for nothing. The justice minister was also an interesting character who captivated me throughout the drama. Unfortunately for me, the other characters were not as interesting as these 3. Despite understanding Gaon and knowing that it was necessary to have an honest character among the corrupt ones, Ga On is quite irritating in the drama and takes extremely stupid attitudes for a lawyer. Ga On`s friend and police officer was nice at first but her attitudes also start to bother me in the drama and I honestly didn't feel her death so much. Sun Ah`s poppets were also extremely annoying and very caricatured characters, they didn't show anything new except that old "I`m evil, I don't have remorse and I just care about money" story.

About the plot, I think that The Devil Judge have a really interesting concept. The dystopian world and how the judgments were showed to the entire population was very interesting. Sure, some punishments may have felt forced but we're talking about a dystopian world so in the narrative it makes sense. The different perspectives of Yohan and Ga On were also interesting as we have Yohan, who thinks that following the law correctly does not matter because power and money always prevail and we have evil people everywhere, and Gaon, who is a honest and naive lawyer and he still believes that following the law correctly is above everything. It is interesting that both perspectives, although different, are correct and can be applied in today's world. (altought as I said before, Ga On was a character that bothered me a lot). Other think I liked was that even though those corrupt politicians left the power, the system was still not destroyed and we still have corrupted politicians because we will always have evil people everywhere, for me this part was really realistic. Yohan being considered a god to the society was REALLY interesting as well because it shows how the society can be really blind by the ministry. However I cannot say the plot was well made in the entire drama. We had some scenes which seemed forced and things miraculously worked out, especially in the final episode. I began to lose focus on the drama and the plot seemed no longer as interesting as before, I was only watching for the good acting and Yohan and Sun Ah, but I believe that the irritating attitudes of the other characters may have contributed to this.

Talking now about the last episode, I didn’t really liked, it was almost like an open ending. Both Yohan and Ga On did a lot of things together in the drama and even tho they fought in almost all scenes the plot kind showed us a “bromance” going on between them. But the ending was too “meh” and Yohan walking away looked like he was saying “yep we did what we had to do and that’s it goodbye”. I don’t know I little expected more for characters that had such connection in the drama. Besides that, the final episode did not please me very much as I thought it was quite exaggerated and the scene of Yohan faking his death and then miraculously appearing to save Ga On was kind forced. The courtroom scene where the villains pull each other out to try to leave and then Sun Ah shoots the president was also a bit over the top for me (although I screamed a lot because Sun Ah was a legendary character until the end). The final scene between Yohan and Ga On was kind meh too, I expected a little more.

Overall The Devil Judge has an interesting concept and definitely keeps the viewer stuck. It's not perfect for me because I think the drama lost a bit of quality in some episodes mainly because the characters attitude bothered me a lot and some things seemed forced in the script, but for sure this is a drama that I enjoyed watching and I recommend.
PS: the direction scenes and OST were amazing too, for sure one of the best things in this drama!

Friends and family united to one sport

I think that the best thing about this drama is how the young characters are extremely captivating. Each one is different but they really complete each other, it's impossible to not like one them. Haekang can be immature sometimes but he's a really caring guy and really talented. Yoondam, as the oldest, is cautious and reserved but he's also friendly and cute. Woochan and Yong Tae are SO SO CUTE I adopted them after this show. And as every team has a "brain" in it, here we have Insol to do this part. He's intelligent and altought he looks cold outside he's also caring and really cute. I loved all of them. The girls are also captivating. Seyoon is the "prestigious" and talented girl but besides that she have a lot of insecurites and she's also a very good friend. Hansol is also cute and friendly. All characters have their own issues and all of them have one episode which their story is focused on, so that they can learn with their mistakes, grow up and mature.

I thought that the romance was a bad thing in the beggining but then I LOVED. I screamed so much in a lot of the couple scenes, the characters are really cute and adorable. In general, Racket Boys is an interesting drama because I never saw a sport drama focused on Badminton scenes, so this already makes the drama interesting to watch. And if you like something focused on friendship and a little bit of romance its going to be perfect for you. As the sport scenes, they were really well filmed as well, the director was awesome in this and made the games look really excting.

I can't say it's all perfect, I do think we had some problems and characters who really didn't fit the ton of the drama. Haekang's father was really annoying too, altought he do got better later. But I think that the young characters are so good, cute, their friendship and chemistry is so good, that we end up liking after all. And as I said, a sport drama focused in Badminton is also new and interesting.

So yeah, If you like squads, friendship, romance, cute characters and some good sport scenes, I recommend this. This is mostly like a TEEN drama as the main characters are teenagers, so don't expect something extremly deep and serious (altought we do have some scenes)

Well, this drama have some positive and some negative things. The story is very addictive and you find yourself increasingly anxious to know what happened in the past of the main characters. Seo In Guk's acting is so good, he was certainly the best thing in this drama. But unfortunately there are some disappointing things, at least for me. The last episodes was really.. nosense? When they explained the main characters past I thought that was a very random explanation. It seemed a lit bit forced.

Jin Kang is a very annoying character. I couldn't shipp her and Moo Young because they sound so forced. Out of nowhere she starts liking him, even when SHE KNEW IT that he was bad to his girlfriend (that was actually Jin Kang's very close friend). Moo Young is actually a bad person but she was always protecting him and defending him. I know, sometimes he deserved it but most of the time, no. And oh my god, when she breaks up with him... what a drama. She kept saying she couldn't live without him when in fact, she could. Why wouldn't she live? She have a "brother", friends, people who really cares about her. Moo Young on the other hand, doesn't have anyone, so it makes much more sense for him to say that he didn't want to live. So yeah, I didn't like this couple at all.

Jin Kang's brother was very annoying too. All the time he was blaming Moo Young and calling him a monster, a murderer, when in fact he isn't a good person either. He hid Jin Kang's past and ignored all the bad things that this secret could cause. I hated him so much ugh.

Seriously, Moo Young was the best character. He's actually a bad person but I found him interesting. And sometimes I understood him. I liked how intelligent he was, well, at least in the beggining. He's going to trust a woman that HE KNOWS that isn't trustful and he knows she's a bad person too. And all this trust, fucks him later. As a character who was so smart and who calculated all his steps all the time, why he was so stupid? Didn't make any sense for me.

That's it. I liked the mystery in this drama but for me Moo Young was the best thing. But well, if you like a suspense and a mystery drama, this may please you because it really makes you think in a lot of theories. And who knows, you might even like the main couple.

Story (9.0/10):
The story is very different and runs away from the cliché of dramas. It may seem boring at first but believe me, it's very interesting and each episode will get you more addicted to the drama.
Even focusing on the main lead, the drama tells different stories of the prisoners of the prison, so the drama never gets boring. The story is touching and very fun to watch.

Acting/Cast (9.5/10):
The actors acted very well. Each character had a very different personality and they all knew how to interpret each one well.  It's very difficult to choose one favorite character because this drama have a lot of great characters.
Both the prisoners and the cops were interesting to watch and was really cool to see their friendship growing during the drama.

Music (8.5/10):
Music isn't the strong point of the drama and doesn't have so much presence ( at least for me ). The OST was comppose by rappers so anyone who likes hip hop will probably like it. They had one song that i really like it :)

Rewatch Value (9.0/10):
The drama is very interesting. They had a lof of funny scenes and the friendship of the prisoners is very cool to watch, so I think it's worth watching this drama more than once, it's probably going to continue interesting and fun.

Overall: (9.0/10):
This drama was one of my favorites of 2017. Didn't impact me so much in the first episodes but after episode 3 I started to loved it. I loved the story and especially the characters. Give a try and watch, I think all of you will like it :)

Defendant was a drama that I took a while to watch because I don't like melodrama's. But WOW, why did I take so long to watch?

- Story (10/10):Defendant have a very good story. Each episode makes you more anxious to know what happened. Why did the main lead lose his memory? Did he kill his wife and daughter? The story is so well done that there is no holes (not that I have realized of course).
- Acting/Cast (10/10):The acting was PERFECT. Everyone who accompanies Jisung knows that he's a great actor so we all knew he would act well. But the surprise comes with the villain and the other characters, they were VERY GOOD. The cast was handpicked and everyone played a great role and acted super good. For a drama with a story as intense as that, the actors needed to keep up with the intensity of the characters, and they did it very well.
- Music (8.0/10):The drama doesn't have an addictive OST but the songs went well with the scenes, particularly with action and suspense scenes, the soundtrack guided them very well.
Rewatch Value (8.5/10):Although you already discover the secrets of the drama, I think he wouldn't lose the grace if you watched more than once because everything is very intense. You will suffer a lot but the story is so good, the actors acted so well that everything  will still shock you.
- Overall (10/10):Overall, it was a wonderful story and drama. For those who haven't watched it yet, I SUPER recommend it. Even if you aren't a fan of melodramas like me, take a chance, I guarantee this drama will surprise!

I really enjoyed this drama but most of the time because of Wootak. I loved this character. I'm a big fan of Jongsuk's work but I have to confess that even though I like his character here, he didn't caught me as much attention as Wootak. He really caught everyone's attention, obviously because of his character, and especially because of Jung Hae In's perfomance.
Speaking of acting, I think everyone was apprehensive when saw Suzy in the cast, but she proved that she could be a good actress. Suzy played her character very well, she did a good.
Well, let's talk about this drama.

Story: (8.5/10)
It's  very interesting. I was intrigued by what was going to happen and why Suzy had those dreams.
I found the story quite different and interesting but, yeah,  had some holes. That's why i didn't give a very high score.

Acting / Cast: (9.0/10)
All of the cast did a good job. Jongsuk, well, we couldn't expect less from him, he nailed it as usual. Jung Hae In was very good to and so  Suzy. The special characters that were appearing in the drama were very well interpreted by their actors and actresses.

Music: (8.5/10)
I loved the music! I'm so addicted to Suzy's song.

Rewatch Value: (7.5/10)
The drama is good but I think it's because it's interesting and intriguing in the first time you watch. I don't think it would be THAT interesting and cool if you watched it more often, so I gave this score.

Overall: (8.5/10)
The story is interesting, the characters are cool and well played. The drama contains several different characters, each one with their own story, some more interesting than others. He loses a bit of rhythm in the middle of the drama but overall, While You Were Sleeping manages to hold you to the end. I recommend :) :)

It’s exciting but it definitely have flaws

I have to say that Vincenzo can be an awesome drama if you don't think too much and I understand the hype as the drama do have some good things. But Vincenzo was slow to captivate me, I only started to really like the drama after episode 6/7 and altought I do think it's a good drama, it does have some serious flaws.

First, the concept of mafia, revenge, corruption and "only evil people can fight evil people" are very interesting but mixing these heavy themes with comedy was TERRIBLE. Of course this is my person opinion and for some people it may have made the drama easier to watch but for me the themes in Vincenzo doesn't match with comedy. The "funny" scenes was too much sometimes and even made some things look inappropriate. For example, how could they make an episode with an LGBT character so stereotyped? If we analyze the whole situation with the character, everything was seen as pure comedy, including his "romantic" scenes with Vincenzo. I honestly found it quite how they portrayed the character in such a stereotypical and comical way, and Vincenzo's reactions to everything didn't help either. I can totally understand if the LGBT+ community felt disrespected. The scene with the pigeon saving Vincenzo was too cringe too and it was like I was watching a cringe comedy drama or something lol Besides the comedy, this drama have another problem: Vincenzo is smart most of the time, except when the script needed him to be dumb. The way they make Vincenzo look invincible but suddenly become dumb or impotent makes the plot loose credibility and it doesn't make sense to everything they created about the character.

Other thing I didn't like was the sound effects. I understand that its necessary to have some sound effects to make some scenes look more impacting but they use this TOO MUCH in Vincenzo, its unreal. You don't need to use sound effects ALL THE TIME to make the scene look impactful. The way the characters act, the characters lines, or even the actors acting could already do that. This frequent use of sound effects in Vincenzo pissed me off a lot and was one of the things I hated most about the drama. Sometimes it made it seem like the drama was a cartoon and If the scenes did looked impactful was thankfully to the ACTORS good acting.

Talking now about the characters, I have mixed opinions. Vincenzo was too invincible. Sure, his fighting scenes with the bad guys was really great and exciting but sometimes it looked unreal because it was like everyone else was too weak for him (except, like I said, when the plot needed him to be weak). Joo Won for example, he's a great villain but that is only because Taecyeon made happen because talking as a character, compared to Vincenzo, Joo Woon was complete powerless. But I cannot lie, besides that, I did enjoy Vincenzo, he's charming and I think Song Joongki really did a great job here. (I just wished he wasn't that powerful all the time and the whole episode with the LGBT character didn't happened). Joon Woo was an exciting character as well. Sometimes I thought that the acting was too much but most of the time Taecyeon was fenomenal and portrayed the character really well. His scenes with Han Seo was SO POWERFUL, I loved to hate him. But altought I liked his scenes and thought the character was exciting, the character decline a little in half of the drama. In the beginning, Joon Woo looked like a cold psychopath but then later he looked like a spoiled child. We had 20 episodes so I think we could had some episodes to show a little more about him. Not to mention that as I said, although he's a villain, the character was completely powerless compared to Vincenzo so I wish they had made a villain more at the level of the main lead. And omg it doesn't make sense for Joon Woo not have any good security to protect him. The guy has to go to prison because he can't escape Vincenzo (a one man) and a few other guys chasing him. Han Seo was a cute character and I hated his ending so much omg NOTHING in that scene made sense, it was like the screenwriter just wanted to kill the character out of nowhere, my baby deserved more :( Chayoung was REALLY ANNOYING for me, her reactions was too much. I don't think is Yeo Bin`s fault as I know she can act its just the character is too forced sometimes. She does get better later and I started to like her a little bit but she could have been more great and in the end, they lost an opportunity to make a badass and more important character, she was there just to be Vincenzo`s partner. The other prosecutor was annoying for me as well.

Some people didn't liked the couple but personally I didn't have problem with it, some scenes was cute to me. I do think we didn't need a couple in this drama but as romance isn't the main plot it's not like we had a real couple with real romantic scenes. Actually both main lead acted more like partners most of the time and their feelings was just showed to each other in the end. (maybe for fanservice? who knows lol)

Everything said, Vincenzo do have some good things like the cinematography, OST, the characters are good looking and some of them, charming, the dark concept is interesting, the acting is great and for people who always like couples in everything, they also have it. I was really immersed in the last episodes and If you watch Vincenzo without thinking and analyzing too much it can be a good drama. The references used in some episodes were very interesting too. But the bad construction of the plot the heavy themes mixed with comedy, the characters losing sustainability in some episodes and the damn sound effect in EVERY SCENE made the drama least impactful. It's sad because this drama could easily been a 10/10 for me if wasn't these problems. After all, I think Vincenzo will be one of the dramas that will become necessary for every kdrama addicted to watch, whether they love it, hate it, or think it's so-so.

They messed up in the middle

I need to say that Go Ahead is definitely NOT a bad drama but despite loving some things, it disappointed me a lot in others too.

Good Points:
- The acting were VERY good and the OST is impeccable. I have to point out that Xincheng's acting was VERY good and I was really surprised by him! I had just seen Skate Into Love and I thought he was really good there but he definitely proved himself as an actor here.
- The drama starts very well. The characters are charismatic, there is chemistry and the family thing is very good.
- The main couple has a lot of cute scenes too.

Negative points:
- Ling Xiao's change: I understand that after everything he went through, it make sense that the character was going to undergo changes and I also understand that Jian Jian was his only happiness, but there were some moments that I felt that he imposed things on Jian Jian because he couldn't live without her. And this also made Jiang Jian's character lack a little because I couldn't feel that she had the same need and love that Ling Xiao had for her. Sometimes it felt…forced.

- Jian Jian's lack of romantic development: The fact that she kept calling Ling Xiao "Ling Gege" bothered me a lot because they were raised as brothers and that's why she called him that. But continuing to call Ling Xiao "Gege" seemed very strange. I also thought that in some scenes the way they treated each other was too similar to how they treated each other before, which it was weird because before they had like a brother and sister relationship but later they really liked each other as a couple so things should've change more.

- 40 episodes: I felt that the number of episodes dragged the drama A LOT and made it boring at some points.

- Rushed Ending: The redemption they gave to Ling Xiao's mother was too rushed and ended up not working for me. For a woman who was toxic to him the WHOLE DRAMA I expected them to develop her story better.

Anyway. Go Ahead is a drama that is indeed captivating and I understand why many loved it but at least for me some things were disappointing and irritated me and that's why it ended up not being a 10/10 drama.
