Title The Judge from Hell Spoiler
Are there any supernatural abilities involved? And is it the FL that has them?
Yes. The FL is a demon, and so she has supernatural strength, but she is not invincible. Other than her strength, she has two "superpowers" (that I can remember). First, she could materialise a dagger in her hand if she needed to go all stabby-stab on some bad guy, and second, she could write the name of a person on a shiny surface and then see what that person was doing and where they were. So overall, her powers were not very powerful.

How is it?I don't really like romance
VERY little romance. A fair bit of graphic violence though, but overall a very good drama.

Title Our Secret
I'm only a handful of episodes in, but one thing I'll say that the Chinese seem to do better than any other country is cute and fluffy rom coms. Also, Ding Xian's mother is a terrible person and a terrible mother. And most of the teachers are bullies. And Ding Xian's father is a coward who needs to stop getting bullied by his wife. And Ding Xian's brother is a spoilt little shit.

Title Sweet Games
The drama is quite cute, but after 16 episodes, I decided I didn't really care enough about the characters to keep watching, especially when I have dozens of other dramas waiting for my attention. Overall, I'd describe it as quite an average drama. Nothing about it - story, acting, cinematography were anything special. I'm usually a big fan of Noona Romances, and I did like how the age gap was dealt with in this drama, with both parents initially expressing concerns, but not becoming psychos trying to keep them apart. I'm not really sure why I lost interest in the story, but I just did. But if the synopsis interests you, then give it a try. You might love it, just as many others have based on the comments and reviews.

I'm pretty sure this is the first drama I've ever watched where a character has two weddings days in a single episode.

Title Mate
So, I've just finished this drama, and I liked it. Sure, there are plenty of things that could have been done better, in some cases much better, but I enjoyed the drama irrespective of the production and storyline deficiencies, which I suspect often reflect budgetary constraints.
For any fan of GL dramas, this drama is a must watch. My score is 8/10.
I've made an observation in the spoiler. I also had a rant about something else two comments down.

Title Mate Spoiler
One of my pet hates in dramas, which reflects lazy writing (in my opinion), is an unearned redemption. Aoey's mother was introduced to viewers as an absolute piece of shit. She was heartless and cruel towards Aoey, accusing Aoey (without evidence) of trying to seduce her partner, who was actually secretly filming Aoey naked and then he even tried to rape Aoey. Aoey's mother physically attacked Aoey when she was told of the attempted rape. Later, the mother publicly made false allegations which caused Aoey even more pain. So, no mother of the year awards for her.
But then magically, she's become super mum, dedicating herself to helping her daughter that she previously was trying to destroy. Why the sudden reversal? As a viewer, I need a reason to stop hating her guts. She needs to earn her redemption. Just having the mother instantly change from evil to good without any explanation is poor writing because deprives the viewer of what could have been an interesting and emotional redemption arc.

in which episode ??
It was very early in the series - I think it was even the first episode. I'm up to episode 11, and the ML has not yet clarified with the FL what happened that night. However, I suspect that he didn't take advantage of her while she was drunk that night, as that would introduce a dark subplot into what is otherwise a very light and fluffy romcom.

Yang Kyung Won's acting in episode 5 is very impressive. I'm going to go further. I think he's given the best acting performance I've ever watched in a KDrama. If anyone believes they've seen better, then please let me know.
If leads roles were offered based on acting ability alone, he'd be offered nothing but lead roles.

If Yan Yue did have sex with An Ran while she was basically unconscious, then he is a rapist. If he didn't, but lets her continue to believe that is what happened, then he's a jerk. He's also quite immature, so I'm hoping for some significant and rapid character growth, as well as some clarification of what exactly happened "that" night.
EDIT: I'm now up to Ep 15, and Yan Yue has shown considerable character growth, which I'm happy about. Even though he hasn't clarified what happened that night with An Ran, I'm essentialy certain that he did not take advantage of her. But he was a jerk for letting her think that he might have.

I found this drama quite entertaining. Like almost every drama I've seen, it started better than it ended, but still worth the watch. It was the first drama I've seen with Park Gyu Young in a main role, and I really did enjoy her acting.
8.5/10

Title Dating in the Kitchen Spoiler
I have to admit I was a little bit nervous when I started watching this drama due to the very large age gap. The…
I really didn't enjoy the character of Lu Zheng (Lu Jin's brother) turning from a simple, happy guy into a manipulative, disturbed and quite creepy villian. I also didn't find it very believable. My other complaint was with Lu Jin's mother and her repeated humiliation and psychological torment of Gu Sheng Nan, only to suddenly change and become her biggest fan. Again, not believable for me, nor was Gu Sheng Nan's complete lack of resentment towards her for the mistreatment she suffered.
The ending also seemed extremely rushed, as everyone got a happily ever after in the last 10 minutes.
Overall, I felt this drama fell short of what it could have been, especially with such a good first half. My score: 8/10.

I have to admit I was a little bit nervous when I started watching this drama due to the very large age gap. The ML is old enough to be the FL's father, and I thought it might come across as a little bit creepy. But I'm a big fan of Zhao Lu Si so I thought I'd give it a watch. I am happy that I didn't get any creepy vibes at all. In many Asian dramas when there is a large power gap in a relationship, the ML is often initially misogynistic towards the FL. But in this drama, we didn't get this (EXCEPT the time(s) when he non-concensually kissed the FL). The ML seemed to genuinely respect the FL who was not the typical doormat FL we see so often in these types of dramas. I'd go as far as to say the FL (almost) has the ML wrapped around her finger, which is a refreshing change from the typical dominant ML / submissive FL we usually get. AT the half way point in the drama, I was enjoying it quite a lot, thinking if it maintained the same quality, I'd probably score it as a 9/10. But as what so often happens in dramas, it started off better than it finished. The comedy in the first half of the drama was very enjoyable, as was the cooking related plot lines, but the second half of the drama seemed to get much more serious, even dark. I found the change of tone in the drama a bit jarring to be frank.
