Story: Many would probably find the lack of a plot boring but I didn’t mind it after giving the drama a second chance. The writer just focuses on showcasing the lives of people in the drama industry. Its not about making dramas but what may go on in the lives of these characters and also how they interact with each other. There’s several romances, breakups and makeups which can be seen as realistic. I loved the ending it was perfect!!
Acting/Cast: This is an ensemble piece so even though you might be in it for the billed actors (Hyun Bin and Song Kye Hyo) you will come to love all the actors involved. The chemistry between everyone was soo good that you will become attached to all the characters and root for them. My only gripe is they could’ve showed more scenes of the Gyu Ho/ Hae Jin pairing. I also thought that Daniel Choi was a scene-stealer and his character was unlike anything ive seen him play.
Music: It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t memorable either.
Rewatch: Fast pacing, a great ensemble cast, and a nice ending make it very rewatchable but I don’t have to watch it again for a while.
Overall I think a more seasoned drama watcher or viewers who like mature/realistic stories will enjoy Worlds Within a lot.

When I first read the summary for it I went in thinking Blue Salt was going to be this big gritty action extravaganza. Yeah well this movie was the total opposite! Yes there's guns and gangsters fighting but the story was more based on human emotion. I didnt really like the romance in this cause to me it felt more like an attachment/friendship. The ending was predictable and unpredictable at the same time.
The acting by SSK was really really good! I hardly recognized her from her High Kick series. The main gangster guy was a good actor but i didnt really feel the chemistry with SSK's character. It was nice seeing quite a few actors who are known more for their drama roles.
Overall this movie was good but it was missing something to make it stand out for me.

The story was very very simple and not a lot happens. The main plot in this is the “couple” traveling together to find the house/loved one of the person who’s ashes they are carrying around the entire movie. You think by the end the main characters are going to come together romantically and maybe raise the child together or something but yeah the ending just didn’t happen that way. In fact nothing really happens in the end at all but I’m not surprised because nothing happened during the movie either. Still, I enjoyed watching the leads interact and I was glad they were able to find some sort of comfort in each other during the time they were traveling together. The score was nice but not memorable. I really liked the leads but I’m not sure if I’d watch this again. Overall I’m not mad I watched this but am a little disappointed in the story. If you have a lot of patience and need something to watch I’d say try it.

The acting was average and the only thing that would've made the movie better was an A list cast.
I still enjoyed the movie so I would recommend it.

Acting/Cast- First off, So Yi Hyun is amazing! She played her role perfectly as the cute, naive, and innocent nurse Hong. I also really loved Dr. Han. This character was really an immature Dr. who cared about nothing at first but he grew to be a mature Dr. who cares about people and even falls in love! I am in love with Lee Jin Wook now=D The supporting cast was funny and really great.
Music- The featured music suits the more mature themes of the show.
Rewatch- Id watch this again in a couple of years because its funny.
Overall- Not your average K drama, more mature, great cast, and just plain funny. Give this drama a chance!

Story- the first 4 episodes is the teen part of the plot and just watching these got me hooked. Shortly after when they switched to the adult actors they kind of lost me. The reason being they had UTW playing a college student aged character for a couple episodes. The time jump was also confusing. It really made that part of the story less credible. When another time jump happens after that (not sure how many yrs passed either) the older adult story of revenge is suppose to start. The rest of the episodes dedicated to that really didn't capture me because they waited to long before things got exciting. I kept watching because I wanted to see how it would all end. Speaking of the ending, I really liked the last 2 episodes. They were really well written and I was satisfied with the outcomes. I liked the way the romance was written being subtle but still prominent as well.
Acting/Cast- While the acting by all the main players good and bad were phenomenal I have to give it up to the actors that played the villains. First, LJH who played Jang Il really was brilliant because he had the hard tasks of playing the most complex character. He played borderline psychotic pretty convincingly at the same time you felt sorry for his character. The rest while cast of the villains portrayed their characters so scarily good. As for UTW, I have mixed feelings about his casting because he is suppose to be the same age as LJH's character and he definitely looks older than him. The writers needed to change the age ranges to make his character more believable. I also wanted to mention that Lee Bo Young had no chemistry with UTW so their romance turned out not to be a big draw. Her character also didn’t really serve that much a purpose in my opinion.
Music- it starts off without out of place music but by the middle half you can tell they started to fix it.
Rewatch- I’m not interested in watching this again because I didn’t enjoy watching it the first time.
Overall Equator Man is a must watch only if you like any of the actors involved. It’s not something that will be memorable down the line.

Story- The beginning was great; very new stuff I hadn’t seen before and it remained that way till about half way in. Then the plot just stalled and the same repetitive situations just kept happening. There wasn’t any development or resolutions by the end. Speaking of the ending I didn’t watch it but read it and even that made me want to rip my hair out. Fortunately because I didn’t actually see what happened I didn’t lol. Still the writers had me coming back week after week and I never became bored to the point of skipping episodes or scenes.
Acting/Cast- The acting by the 4 leads was fabulous. Unfortunately for them their dialogue was so pointless, but I do applaud them for doing the best they could with what they were given. I was really impressed with newcomer Lee Je Hoon and hope to see him in a better drama next time. The supporting cast was great and served their purpose.
Music- matched the moody/dark themes of this show. It didn’t grab me enough to want to give it a listen outside of it though.
Rewatch- If the ending wasn’t so messed up I probably could have watched it again but yeah this is a no way in hell.
Overall Fashion King has an amazing lead cast but is overall disappointing in terms of development in story and characterization. Watch at your own risk!

Story- The 2nd episode shocked me to the core. I thought it was genius the way they handled Lee Min Ki’s cameo exit. This sets up the rest of the series. After that unpredictable beginning the rest is pretty much predictable. Basically the rest of the plot is how Eye Candy goes from being an outcast to being famous. Then we get to see their downfall and how they all succeed in their own way. I thought the way they wrote the romance was very appropriate for high school. It was sweet and innocent but still had some drama in there like young love does. The ending was not a disappointment.
Acting/Cast- I just want to say I was pretty impressed with the young cast. Sung Joon played his role so perfectly. It was like he was a real person and not a character. I loved the entire cast. They just meshed well together and the band felt like they were real longtime friends who enjoyed playing music.
Music- loved the score. The OST is amazing! I play the songs over and over again and I will be listening to it for a longtime to come.
Rewatch- The story itself wasn’t anything I really have to see again but I loved the cast and OST so much I would watch this again once a year.
Overall Flower Boy Band has an unforgettable beginning, awesome cast, and amazing OST which makes for a memorable watch.

Well here I am giving it another go and I find myself easily going through each episode until I marathoned that sucker till the end. The episodes did get more and more interesting with each new case. Not only that but as the overall plot surrounding the mystery of our Vampire prosecutor started to develop the drama became really addicting. The last episode played out like a movie with all the action and excitement.
I liked the characters at first but they didn't offer me anything that made me want to stick to watching before I dropped. After I came back to it though I grew to LOVE all the characters. They really meshed well together. The lead who plays the Vampire prosecutor was perfect!
I probably could re-watch this drama ever year cause its so interesting and i loved the cast.
Except for the 3 episodes that were lacking I really really enjoyed watching Vampire Prosecutor and am looking forward to season 2=D

Acting/Cast- This was well casted. The leads had good chemistry and acted well. But I wasn\''t in love with them. I actually fell in love with Yoo Ah In & Song Jun Ki\''s characters. I love thier bromance, too cute. The rest of the supporting cast fit thier roles really well.
Music- Very lovely score. You could really feel the mood. The modern songs were nice.
Rewatch- I could probably watch this once a year.
Overall- For a non historical drama watcher to praise SS, it has to be pretty impressive right? So give it a chance and enjoy what this brilliant masterpiece has to offer!

The story and plot are fast paced in the beginning because its new and the characters are starting to interact with each other. It starts off funny but becomes drama central in the second half. The ending was short but cute.
I loved the entire cast but the main 4 leads had this chemistry. I seriously loved watching them interact. This is probably my favorite role of YEH. She is such a great actress really believable as a snobby heiress and so pretty! loved her style=)
The music stands out and went on my ipod straight away.
I could watch this twice in a year just because the cast is awesome
Overall the script isnt perfect but youll have fun watching.

The story was filled with light moments as well as many dark ones. Its very slow paced which Im not fond of but thats just because Im an anxious person. Many things are slowly revealed throughout the drama. So its hard to wait patiently. BTW be prepared to bawl your eyes out in episode 19. the only other time ive ever cried watching a drama was with Stairway to Heaven so thats saying something. Alot of people on here complained about the ending. Ill admit when I got to the end of episode 19 I wanted to scream because I thought I wasted 19 hours on a drama with an ending that doesnt justify anything that happened the entire series. After I finished the last episode, I realized that it is not a storybook ending but you learn an important lesson about life and death. Something that is revealed in the last episode is mindblowing though so its worth watching.
Acting was phenomenal by the entire cast. Even the villians were so good you feel sympathetic for them.
The music was very whimsicle. It had a nice flow and went along great with the scenes. The OST is great too!
Id rewatch this in a couple of years just because the story is sad and thatll give me time to forget most of the events that took place.
Overall this drama is not your average drama but its something to watch and you will take something away from it.

Story: In the beginning I wasn't sure how the story would go or end up and yes it was predictable but I did like the romance plot of it. The episodes are super short so it makes for an easy watch. I was disappointed by the ending and found it a bit confusing.
Acting/Cast: I liked he entire cast and thought everyone fit and the chemistry between the 2 girls as friends were great adn the chemistry between the romantic leads were great as well. With that being said, the acting was awful. I was disapointed by Aya and Yuta who I've found charming in other roles. The breakout I would have to say was the actress that played Komachi(the other vamipire girl). She was very convincing and found her emotions to be real. I liked the supporting characters.
Music: The opening credits was too long and the song was annoyingly catchy.
Rewatch: The pacing is quick and the romance is nice so its rewatchble a long time from now if needed.
Overall, its a short love story between a vampire and a human but also a friendship story between 2 vampire girls and their adventure into the human world so if you expect anything more I'd say skip it.
