For those who want to feel anger while being charmed by Lee Jung Suk att his cutest
This is a drama that will have you saying wtf and how can they be so stupid and how the h*** is that person still alive??? So if you are looking for something that makes any sense please look somewhere else… While watching this drama I kept on wanting to yell at the people (mostly men) in this series, what the f**** is wrong with you!!! Just admit to your wrong doings, learn from your mistakes, apologies and move on with your lives/ just move out of the way and let them do their job… So I guess this is one of those dramas that truly brings out your inner anger, so if you are in the mood to get angry, this is definitely the drama for you!I honestly do not know if it is the female leads acting, dialog, character or all of the above that where really really bad, but bad was it… And no matter what was behind it, she was not the least bit lovable and probably had more chemistry (if any) with the villain then the male lead, and considering the male lead is Cutie Lee (Lee Jong Suk) that should otherwise be impossible but look we found someone to fit that description. I´m honestly impressed over this, so it may actually have been intentional if so why?
While the first female lead is boring, the second female leas is bubbling with emotions, she is sweet, loving and cooperative and has this amazing chemistry with Cutie Lee and is truly enjoyable to watch.
The second male lead fits the part perfectly he has great character growth but is definitely one of the people who frustrated me the most and brought out my inner anger.
Cutie Lee (Lee Jong Suk) has an adorable character, he is bad ass, sweet, funny and really shows cutie Lee at his sweetest, well styled, well smiled and just completely charming in every single way. He is what makes this drama not only bearable but worth a watch!
To conclude this, this drama has a great mixture of truly interesting, intense, boring and just plain strange plots. So I can’t say it’s bad but it´s not good either but if you feel like getting angry while being charmed by Cutie Lee then its definitely worth a watch (and if you get to board, just skip ahead).

Confusing but impressive and more twists then the twist
This drama is a bit confusing, when I finally thought I might start understanding something a new twist came along and threw me off completely. I happen to be a big fan of twist and turns so it was defenetly my type of drama but I understand if is not everybodys cup of tea.The male lead did an amazing jobb portraying several characters. Hot and cold, sweet and mean... in a very handsome package.
Go Aras character was interesting and she did do a great jobb portraying a very special personality.
The second male lead was very sweet, and so were the rest of the cast. I wasn't annoyed att anyone, maybe could do without some of the children crying but I never really felt the urge to fast forward. The pace was ok but I'll admit this drama could probably have been shorter if they prioritized but att the same time looking back all had their role in this very complex multilevel drama.
The ending was defenetly one of the more intersesting ways to wrap it upp and was very unpredictable witch I see as a big plus.
So all in all if you like complicated dramas, like Go Ara and a handsome lead this is definitely one for you. Oh and you should not care to much about the details making sence.

Sweet, easy to watch loveable side caracters. I'ts good but not great
Kim Seul Gi was great as second lead. This drama is nothing special really but does have some nice moments and loveable caracters. The plot has its ups and downs. Some of the humor was a bit low and almost embarrassing.The leads acting wasn't always good and the cemestery between the main leads wasn't so good. However the second couples chemistry and the side caracters acting made upp for not so great leads. That said the main story was mostly good, sweet and unnecessarily complicated with several known drama trophs.
Another + was how the show tackeld coming out as gay and hardships that can come allong with it as well as homofobia and internalized homofobia.
So definitely worth watching but not something I recommend if you are looking for a masterpiece.

A Humorus series that dears to challenge the notion of the good mother
I don't remember when I laughed this much in a drama. It has allot of dark humor and shows several aspects in the process of becomming a mother. The fear, the stigmatisation of the working mother and the feeling that society seems to forget to stigmatise (and for that matter involve) the father.I loved how they showed the moralisarion of mothers who seem to loose what little digaty and right to their body the second their pregnancy shows. I really just wanted to yell att eaverybody to just let the protagonist have her d** coffe.
The effekts, lighting and small sketches in this series are amazing and really inhance the emotions trying to be convayed.
There was one character that annoyed me kept on interperting babies emotions with an annoying voice. Her caracter really added to presshure put on mothers but I found my self annoyed att her and wanting to tell her to shut up and let the mom have a chance. But I loved the rest of the caracters, there was not a singel caracter that was flat, all got to evolve without changing their core personalaties. The same with paranthood, the series showed a veriety of ways to love your child. A veriety of ways of being and becoming a parant. Not all joyfull, but presented in a very humoros way.
I'm a succer for series that dere talk about what actually makes a good parent whilecaccnoladging that bad parents exist, this series gave me that too ;)
The verity of human relations in the series astonished me. So many in such a short series. It really has it all from bromance thrue romance to girls sticking upp for each other, to girls making life hell for each other, coliguaul relations and fighting to hit the topp.
Im missing the LGBTQIA parents in the veriety, and there are a few scenes that ruind the my ability to completely connect with one of the moms and kind of ruined the emotional flow of those scenes.
All in all I really recommend this series, but would not want to stay att a birthcare center. Do these really exsist?

Pedofile Busters
When theres a sexoffender in the neighbourhood, who you gonna call, Pedo busters...An action filled movie that goes beyond the individual secoffender and shows it in a larger context, While I am not really sure of how close this actually is to reality and I am pretty sure peoples abiltay to heal in this is extraudanary. The pacing, and flow of the story where pretty good. Acting is top as they casted Koreas A list actors even for the minor roles.
The villains are trulley evil... probably as evil as it gets. The good guys are chamring, fun a cross between ghost busters and armageddon type of crew... Saving the world from pedofiles and sexoffenders.
I want to say that it is an easy movie to watch, but at the same time the issue in hand is pretty dark so I am conflicted about what to say about it... But I guess just like a spoon full of sugar makes the medicin go down ... an oppa and a dose of freindship can make the darkest story go down...in true korean style but without the slapstick....
Ps, there are no annoying over the top characters in this, so if you are in the mood for some darkness, evil and blood this is not a bad place to find it.

When the Phone rongs, anything can happen
This is one of those dramas that is more or less guaranteed to keep you on your toes, give you butterflies in your stomach and make your head spin from all the theories about who, is who, why and what will happen next.Or at least for the first 11 episodes or so, the last episode however kind of flopped and failed to live up to my expectations, offering a bit to much cringe and unnecessary stuff.
A bit of a mix of John MclCain in Die Hard 3 meets all that we love in k-dramas. Suits, great chemistry, corruption, mistery, murder, contract marriage... ohand sign language.
A great binge, just make sure to take small breaks to work on your theories between episodes. While some of the twist caught me by surprise others did not...
A strong 8,5 that could have been a 9 or a 10 for the first half but started ruling a bit down hill towards the end.
P.s I watched it with my husband, he loved it too.

Everybody loves Yumi... including Yumi
This drama has some reallay nice scenes, some sweet romance here and there and a guy who seems to be just a little bit to perfect to be true... And probably is not quite as perfect as he seems.There are a bunch of highly annoying characters some highly lovable characters but mostly a bunch who seem to act as fillers here and there.. there to make us wonder, keep us insecure and keep us guessing... However at one point it goes over bord and just becomes meeh...
The cells have been upgraded from season one, but the conflict and passion has been highly reduced and this season could easily have taken 8 episodes to complete if it weren't for the unnecessary fillers and conflicts here and there that made me like Yumi just a little bit less.
All that said, I do not regret watching this and will probably watch next season as well... if there is one.

So much good but yet so draggy... and cringe.
A drama that could have been so good but managed to become draggy and meeh even though it only had 12 episodes.The best part about this drama is the combination of its cast reuniting some of my beloved actors/actresses from dramas I have loved before.
Im Se Mi, Mun Ka Young and a flash of Oh Eui Shik from True Beauty an d Son Sang Yeon and Choi Hyun Wook from Racket Boys. Was a true pleasure to watch and honestly sp where the rest of the side characters. Interesting, fun no one was to muc over the top and the only yelling and over the top mimics where preformed by Mun Ka Young.
¨
The story had a lot of pottental a lovable cliche with a twist and a really cool bad ass female lead that has worked hard and refuses to bow down to oppressors... With an I don't care if Im poor or a woman, I have worked hard and so should you type of attitude a true super woman who can fix anything and do anything... However she also has this awkwerd bad lier aura that had me rolling my eyes one to many times.
Our male lead is a adorable, bubbly and cold, rich, sweet but also slightly pathetic... at times in a good way but other times he just feels off.
The twists where rushed yet still felt draggy, the monologs where not only repetitive but seemed to never end.... And though I wanted to give Im Se Mi a 10 for being all round fun to watch I just could not overlook the rest.
However it is an okay binge, there is a lot of good in it and and sweet, cool moments in more or lesss every corner. Just mind the draggy parts and the cringe in the second half of the drama and you should be fine.

Hello gender conventions
This drama has a whole lot of stuff that where sweet, colorful and fluffy, a bunch of interesting characters, varied pace and shows quite a few interesting ways to handle awkward situations. To be honest I liked the characters more than their cells but the cells where a very interesting and important touch for this show.The cells are these adorable small Inside out meets smurfs combination that do a great job showing the complexity to a persons thoughts as well as what stress can do to ones mind. However they also did one h*** of a job showing how strong gender conventions as well as the man as norm are rooted in our society without making it to obvious. Either that or this was an attempt of showing a person who is non binary without telling us, since Yumis cells where both masculine and feminine while Woongs cells where all masculine or AI. It was lovely to see that Umie was allowed to have a naughty cell, but put up against the dinosaur in Woongs head, Yumies little slightly annoying naughty cell is way easyer to control. So again Men you should probably speak up and ask them to tame the beasts in next season. This reflects well on the conventions we meet in society so I can not complain about it too much but will say that it does not have to be that way...
All in all it was an okay watch, some parts where more predictable than others and they did make me feel for them...

A typical filler c
This drama starts off pretty okay and then takes us on a journey of all thing predictable, boring and dare I say kind of annoying... I have issues with the plot and though I did like the female lead most of the time and admit the leads had nice kisses it was just not enough to have me care about any of the progress or characters towards the end....There are som nice lines, sweet smiles, longing, yearning and pretty displays of lust and love... but the over all feel is 7 is a generous rating it could probably be a 6 if not for the charming female lead (most of the time), sweet side characters with nice smiles and decent chemistry between the leads.

Fluff over Plot
This is a story about the really scary rich guy who became a real softy once he fell in love... there is not much plot, no a lot going on, the few moments of drama that do occur are highly fleeting and do very little to forward the (non existent) plot.HOWEVER
There are several pretty decent characters, cute smiles and gazes between some of the sides no one is truly annoying and there is a sweet brain off, opposites attract, Oblivious meets exccentic/oblivious feel to it that kind of works. But honestly every thin in this feels a bit secondary and slightly unnecessary as this drama has one real thing, and one thing only and that Thee is Eccentric and sweet, and so in love it is adorable. He has the most adorable puppy eye look and can go from bad ass mafia boss to Golden Retriever and back to A mffia boss in 30 seconds or less.. He is the appifanny of so in love he does not know what to do with himself and that is what makes this drama an ok watch...
The story itself is mediocre at best.

A sea of emotions and nostalgia
This is a sweet movie of friendships, hardship, and I guess a bunch of ships in a sea of emotions.Life is not always easy, while the story starts out more or less fluffy and youth, puppy love ish... It does take a dive in the depths of the ocean.
Our leads do a phenomenal job conveying each and every emotion, they broke my heart several time and offered a back story that I guess had to be told. The contrast between the youthful, innocent cheer and the darkness is done really well. It is constantly there lurking behind without robbing the youthfulness of the story.
A great combination, well executed and with gorgeous cinematography and just enough hints of the past to make this old lady smile. .

Cute n Cringe but mostly Cute
This is one of those dramas that may not give you arrhythmia but will probably make you feel all gooey and warm inside. the story is not really new, and Pos acting is not perfect but somehow it works and had me binging it a bit too fast.The Hate to Love friendships are just so so cute! The music is okay, I admint the so called hit was not really my thing but the rest of the music was sweet. Pos character was kind of meeh but the rest of the guys made up for it. To be honest the 5 guys in the band where a lot mote interesting than our main male lead. However the kisses where decent, the chemestry okay and the honey dripping from Themes eyes whenever he looked at ordinary the Po made it all work.
I rarely feel that I want to learn more about side characters but this is one of those dramas that could make a great spinn off. focusing on Nano, Dylan and Jun.
A sweet, slightly predictable story that is highly bingable and just perfect for all those in need of something sweet.

Sweet but Psychos some want to study some want to fight
This show is one that is guaranteed to fulfil all your violent bloody needs for a long time to come.Ill start with the good, friendship, characters and contrast between the "Just want to study" and "fight for your life" gangseres recruiting paradise... Both evil and do called good characters had psycho charm vibes that captured part of my heart in some ways our male lead reminded me of Do Bong Soon almost as sweet and just as strong. Also the mom in this was lovely.
Oh will someone just let the boy form a study group and study.... I. also loved the way the main lead, stupid as he may have been cold see in to the other teens soules... I can see it in his eyes that he wants to study,,, so cute!
The less good and reason this got a 7,5 and not much more... Repetitiveness, lack of true plot and pacing that felt a bit off... Dare I say this could have been a 6 episode drama? or maybe just a movie as it had a bit to many filler moments.
But oh those sweet psychos almost make me want to up the score...

Entertaining but Forgettable....
This was an entertaining watch, one of those dramas I watched today but will most probably forget tomorrow or the day after... as I had to take a break in my binge (a few days) and it took me a while to remember what the plot was once I started watching the last two episodes.While I do not like the female lead. By not like I mean I generally try to avoid her dramas, this was one of her better works, still not very likeable but indeed bearable.
Pretty much every single one of the side characters stories out shine the leads, by chemistry, story line, acting... You name it the other characters carry this show and are what makes it an entertaining watch worthy of that next episode button.
Male lead was fun in the beginning giving me my beloved cliches bit grew dull towards the end all in all an ok way to pass time...
