Boring
The drama was an obsessive love story but did not have a satisfactory ending. It ended with a regression, but the aftermath was not shown.The acting was good. I liked the pairing and chemistry between the sisters.
However, the impact of the story was weak.
I watched the drama because leads are my favourite.

A sentimental story
Better Days is a story about a shy girl who hardly speaks and has a reserved personality. One day, her friend dies, and from that moment, her life changes completely. Along the way, she meets a boy who has been beaten by goons. She tries to help him, and from then onwards, they start meeting quite often. She becomes attached to him wholeheartedly.He sacrifices a lot for her, and later, he takes the blame for something that was directed at him. The drama is very sentimental because the main leads’ characters face many hardships. After experiencing all these difficulties, they become inseparable.
The last few scenes made me cry, and I was genuinely touched by the story. However, I didn’t like the ending part

A love story
Shine on Me" is a love story about a doctor who falls in love at first sight. However, due to a misunderstanding, he resents his first love until the truth is revealed. When he learns the truth, he is left dumbstruck. As time passes, he slowly recovers and eventually begins his love journey again.The drama contains romantic and innocent moments where both the boy and the girl sometimes look naive and adorable.
I always feel bad for the second lead. He suffers heartbreak without any real fault. The girl hides her true feelings and keeps lying to him. When he discovers that she has hidden many things from him, he is shocked. She says she left the city, but she actually did not. They both love each other, but neither confesses their feelings. Meanwhile, she meets someone else and falls for him. Because of circumstances, she begins to love someone else.

Average
Dynamite Kiss” is a pure love story blended with hate, revenge, and deception. However, it is an average drama with nothing particularly new or unique in its concept.A boy meets a girl on an island, and due to certain circumstances, they pretend to be lovers. Eventually, they share some heartfelt moments and have a one-night stand that changes everything for both of them. However, it affects the boy deeply. He genuinely falls for her. After their one-night stand, she suddenly disappears, and he searches for her everywhere like a desperate man. When they meet again, she is the mother of a young boy, which leaves him in shock.
Although he tries hard to move on, nothing works. On the contrary, he falls even more deeply in love with her. Eventually, he decides to get married to a girl whom his family wants him to marry as he sees no other option. In the end, the misunderstanding is cleared, and they live happily ever after.
I liked the first two episodes, but after that, the story became boring. I liked the second couple more than the main leads and the child artist. In terms of acting, everyone performed very well.

Poor story
“The Palace Gambit” is a senseless drama. It lacks spark, coherence, and emotional depth. Throughout the entire drama, I kept waiting for the love story to begin, but the female lead’s revenge plot never seemed to end. She remains focused on proving her sister’s innocence and changing the law for the lower class. I got fed up with the story.The actors gave good performances, but the storyline was disappointing.

One day, he goes to a bookstore owner to recover a loan, but the owner is unable to repay it. He pleads with the man, asking for more time and promising to come to his office later to return the money. However, he asks him to leave immediately because his daughter might arrive at any moment. Unfortunately, his daughter witnesses the situation.
The man leaves with his associates after seeing the owner’s daughter. Later, when the owner still fails to repay the loan, he is beaten by the man’s men and dropped back at his house. There, his daughter confronts them. All of this is witnessed by the man, and he orders his men to leave her alone because he sees his own teenage self in her—how he struggled alone with no one to help him. This makes him decide to help her.
Gradually, he develops feelings for her. On the other hand, she does not feel the same affection toward him. She feels burdened by gratitude and, because of that pressure, accepts his feelings. From here, the story takes a twisted turn. She becomes involved with two men at the same time, which really irritated me. If she had no feelings for him, she should have been honest instead of cheating on him. While being with him, she has an affair with another man.
Throughout the drama, I felt bad for him and kept wishing that he deserved someone better. Although the drama has a happy ending, I was not satisfied with it. What I wanted to see was stronger love chemistry and more time for them together. They do meet in the end, but it feels too short. The drama needed one more episode to provide a better conclusion.
The acting was good, though the drama progressed at a slow pace. I also liked the supporting characters, especially her mother and the way she supported him.

Good one
Starlit Bloom begins with a one-night stand between two people. The leads spend one night together as strangers, and their paths cross several times afterward. Eventually, the male lead discovers that the woman he has been searching for for a long time is none other than the same person with whom he spent that night. A small misunderstanding separates them, but the male lead’s true and unwavering love melts her heart, and they end up living happily ever after.It is a lightweight drama with not many conspiracies, and it includes a few romantic scenes that may give you goosebumps.

A quiet disturbing movie
Insane” is a Korean movie. The story revolves around a girl who was kidnapped and sent to an illegal mental hospital. The movie ends with a big secret. It’s quite engaging, although it has many disturbing elements.The performances are outstanding, particularly by Kang Ye-won, who portrays the kidnapped woman. Her expressions of fear, confusion, and silent strength are deeply moving. The supporting cast, especially Lee Sang-yoon as the reporter, also deliver convincing performances.
One more Mr. Han. Short role but performed well.

I watched the drama mainly because of the male protagonist
Review:Love is Written in the Stars is honestly a boring drama. From the very beginning, it doesn’t make much sense. I only continued watching because of a few actors.
One of the most unrealistic parts was the prince wandering all over the kingdom without guards. On the other side, the female protagonist could easily come and go from his mansion as if there were no restrictions at all. This just didn’t make sense to me.
In addition, both protagonists seemed almost insane at the start. The prince never behaved like a majesty, and the female lead didn’t act like a martial artist either. Their roles were inconsistent with how they were supposed to be. In the middle of the drama, there was a little seriousness in their behavior, but it quickly faded again.
I would only recommend this drama to those who have absolutely nothing else to watch.

Good one
*"When Destiny Brings the Demon - Long For Fish" is a romantic drama. It doesn’t have the flavor of demons and their magic, even though the male and female protagonists are demons.After watching two or three episodes, I felt the drama was boring and wondered why the protagonist had chosen to act in it. However, after watching more episodes, I became intrigued by their chemistry. The love story they portrayed was so emotional that I was completely captivated by their performance, and I continued watching.
I liked the other characters and their performances too, especially the male protagonist’s bodyguard, the serpent, and his love story. However, I felt a little disappointed that the drama didn’t have a satisfying ending. They didn’t include many plots toward the end; the drama only focused on the leads and their story. I still felt that the leads should have had some dialogues before the ending."*
One more thing I want to say about the drama that is it has mesmerising musics and songs.

Average
“Fall in you” is a short love story but doesn’t have exciting elements. However, the emotional and slightly intense love story might be intriguing for viewers who enjoy shipping the couple. As always, the male lead gave an amazing performance.It is a story about a girl whose parents were murdered. She returns to China to investigate the case, and during this time, she falls in love with a person who initially becomes her first suspect. Eventually, she uncovers the truth, resolves everything, and the story concludes with a happy ending.

I didn't like the drama much
A consort was blamed and punished when her husband went to war. On his return, he trusted what his mother had told him. However, deep in his heart, he still loved and believed in his wife. So, he went secretly to see her while she was serving her sentence. There, he overheard something and misunderstood her. From that point on, he never met her again. Later, his wife fought for justice, and during this journey, he helped her.The storyline was good, but some scenes were boring. The part I liked the most was when their child was shown. I was a little disappointed with the very ending.

Boring
In Beauty Strategy, I didn’t see any point where the female lead used her beauty to accomplish anything. So, I wasn’t sure what kind of strategy she actually used. However, in one scene, she used magic to make flower petals fall and the breeze carry them in her direction, which caught everyone's attention. Because of this, the empress chose her to be the prince’s concubine.The story is a mix of love, hate, and a bit of revenge, with a few kissing scenes that made those moments a bit captivating. Otherwise, the story doesn’t have much to offer.
As for the acting, it was good.

Fine
I liked the beginning parts of the drama, but as it moved forward, I started losing interest. The reason might be that I expected more from it. After a few episodes, I found myself more drawn to the second lead's story. I liked their storyline more. I felt bad that he never realized her love for him. Even till the end, he kept calling out his lady’s name, not hers. She did so much for him. Throughout the drama, I kept waiting for their love story to begin. I wanted the drama to end with the first leads getting married and having kids, and the same for the second leads—but unfortunately, that didn’t happen.Was this review helpful to you?
Purposed based hypothetical story
"Life Is a Choice" is the story of a girl who was married to a boy. They had a daughter and lived a happy life. One day, she found out that he was deceiving her, so she left him and took their daughter with her.Later, their daughter became ill. She asked him for help, but he refused because, for him, there was no hope that their daughter would survive. He didn’t want to spend money on her treatment. However, the girl thought differently. She believed that if there was even a small chance to save her daughter's life, she had to try. Unfortunately, due to the delay, their daughter passed away.
With no hope left, the mother decided to end her own life. But somehow, she survived. After that, she got another chance—she was sent back into her past to prevent herself from falling in love with the boy.
The comedy part of the story begins when she returns to her past and finds herself in a boy's body. For the first time, I felt that a male actor did an amazing job portraying a girl's soul. I’ve seen many Chinese dramas where a girl’s soul enters a boy’s body, but the actors often overact, making it unrealistic. Girls don’t behave the way they are often shown in such dramas. But here, the male lead gave a truly convincing and impressive performance.
The drama is purpose-driven, so there isn’t much screen time for romance between the leads—which was a little disappointing for me, as I wanted to see more of that. Still, the rest of the story was good. I especially liked her doctor friend—she was also excellent.
