This movie was exactly like the relationship between the girl and the boy: it's obnoxious, a little idiotic, kind of nerve wracking, but in the end, like the guy said, it's really difficult to get over it. The story is a been far stretched, as the girl, who is in the less clever class of her school, has to move in with the top student of the school, after her house collapsed like a house of cards. The twist here is that the girl was in love with the boy for years, but, after confessing to him, she was rejected very rudely. The girl simply annoys the guy and there is no indication that he even likes her. But, the ending just takes the most clever twist ever to let you anticipate for the second film. So, 4 out of 10, because the film makers could have tried to presented the facts better than just leave them look like a cheep comedy rather than a manga movie. Plus, the chemistry between the two were lacking, even though their performances were really good.

If you had to choose between seven men, which one would you choose? Seven Korean celebrities appear in a forever single girl's life, after a good fairy (?) grants her a wish to find a boyfriend. The only trick is that they should not kiss her. Okay, the story is so so and the whole drama is simply a lotte advertisement (five minutes out of the ten minutes length were dedicated to it). However, especially if you're a fan of those celebrities, you can't help but feel all fussy and start to identify with the girl. That's because mainly due to the fact that each story is different, exploring every possible romantic scenario that could happen. And the guys vary for everyone's taste to be satisfied, from an idol to an actor, you can certainly find you favourite. Still, the ending was really short. I mean it should have been explained further what actually happened. So, 2 out of 10.

Doctors is one of 2016 hit dramas and you could find it on the hot lists throughout the year. And though it started promising, for me, it kind of turned out to be a bit boring. Okay, I have to admit, I love the full of drama background stories, in which the hero is so unfortunate that everything that could possibly go wrong, well, goes wrong, but, in the end, he or she strives. So, the first few episodes were my favourite. However, the ten-years-later story was okay at first, but became really boring in the end, to the point that only the medical stories were interesting. The romance was weak, as well as the love triangle, as the characters didn't have lots of chemistry. The performances were good and the surgeries were very realistic, to the point that you had to look away when they opened one's scalp. Anyway, because of the first episodes and because we could see the development of the character, 3 out of 10.

Not Good Enough

Korean Drama "Love All Play" had potential with the sports theme and the tragic figure that was the main lead, but they were all wasted.

The story was boring and the pattern of breaking up and making up, again and again, was tiring. The main couple, moreover, was cute at first, but they didn't have enough chemistry to support the whole thing. The second couple were better, but they didn't have enough screentime. Also, the main lead's tragic story got unbearable and almost idiotic, as she let everyone treat her badly without even acting up. Her relationship with her mother should have been further reviewed as well.

At least the performances were enjoyable.

So, overall, four out of ten.

" Mermaid Prince " had an interesting idea for a story, but it needed more time to explore it in depth.

The drama started well, and it kept the interesting camera work and cinematography till the very end. The performances were good from every actor and actress in the cast, too. Also, somehow, even though this web drama is only six episodes long, the love triangle was solid and entertaining.

And now, for the minuses of the drama. The idea of the plot was nice, but it was underdeveloped. The whole romance was, in addition, rushed and thus, that had consequences on the intensity of the love story and the chemistry of the couple. The second couple was on and off screen and it was probably only there to fill in the scenes between the ones of the main couple's.

So, overall, four out of ten.

The Grand Prince had a rather boring synopsis that really didn't do it justice. The drama is very intense, with a nice love triangle, tragic characters, action scenes that will keep you entertained till the end, and power conspiracies.
I loved the main couple. They had chemistry and their love story was nice and interesting, even though it started very quickly and it didn't have time to built up. The second lead was an interesting character as well, the opposite of the main lead, dark and violent. I liked how he was the perfect opposition to the love triangle and how tragic his persona was.
The drama did, however, get a bit tiring, with the many many action scenes and twists. But, it was entertaining nevertheless. So, 8 out of 10.

Korean Drama " King The Land " is a romantic comedy with two strong leads.

The drama has a smooth start, with a story that brings back nostalgic feelings for the old Korean romantic comedies that ruled the last decade and even before that. The romance is sweet and the banter between the leads is adorable and entertaining. The friendship was also an enjoyable factor.

However, everything went downhill when the two leads got together, which happened early on. Thus, the drama was left to deal with romantic dates, traveling abroad, and some family drama, which at least kept things interesting here and there but was too predictable to be able to save the drama.

Other than the boring plot, however, the performances kept being strong, and the main couple had chemistry.

So, overall, two and a half out of ten.

Samurai Marathon is apparently based on a true story, or, at least, on true events. That is why the movie was just a bit ... I wouldn't say boring but it lacked intensity. Usually, with samurai movies you expect action scenes that can take your breath away, wonderful speeches about greatness and deep emotions. Here, you get nice characters, but a flat story.

The action scenes were okay, but just a bit boring. The characters, moreover, were interesting, but they were too many to follow and that's why the movie couldn't handle them and they ended up falling through the cracks and disappearing.

The performances, as expected, were brilliant. The movie was packed with Japan's big names (I mean Sato Takeru was one of the leads and that is enough reason to watch this one).

So, overall, six out of ten.

When it came to the story "Kakafukaka" was probably only focused on the relationship and the love triangle. The characters, thus, were not even presented. There were bits of background story, but, overall, there were superficial. The leading lady was also more of a pushover than anything. She clearly had second thoughts about the whole arrangment and yet she always agreed to everyone's crazy demands. The romance was incomplete as well. There was no depth, no emotion and no actual ending or conclusion to it. The idea of the story was odd but the romance seemed to have potential at some point. The performances were okay too. So, four out of ten.

A short drama to watch, that is both funny and romantic, but there isn't much in the plot. The performances were okay, and probably that was the reason why this one didn't flop, as the story was odd and kind of idiotic at some point. But, at least, the drama was entertaining, it had it's funny moments and the romance was okay, as the couple had chemistry. The ending, in addition, as a bit of a wrap up and it wasn't as much of a conclusion to the story and that left out many unanswered questions. The constant flash backs, as well, were tiring and boring, making the episodes longer, sure, but not adding anything to the actual story. So, 4 out of 10.

A Sci Fi thriller with tones of action and a solid story. My main
problem with this drama was that it was kind of hard to keep up. The
events followed one another too quickly and you had to pay attention to
two stories and not just one. Honestly, the 2017 story was better than
the new earth one, but they were equally entertaining nevertheless. The
performances were really good, as the actors had to deal with a action
packed theme. Also, the mystery was quite intriguing, even though the
whole bug thing was gross. Fortunately, there wasn't too much blood, as
the drama focused more on the mystery rather than impressing with gore
and sci fi technology. So, 7 out of 10, because the second story was a
but boring.

" Lonely Enough To Love" was not what one should expect by the title. It is a light rom com that takes up many themes, that, unfortunately, never developed properly.

The romance itself was boring, as it was too slow paced for the length of the drama, didn't have any element of surprise and was predictable. It also felt a bit messy. As for the love triangle, that as well was nothing original.

The friendship part, however, was pretty warm and sweet. But, the side characters were often pushed aside.

Finally, the performances were okay, but the leading lady was felt like she was acting in a 2010 drama.

So, overall, 3 out of 10.

" Kiss me at the stroke of midnight " was an okay rom com.

The movie deals with a typical high school romance that turns everyone's fantasy of a girl next door meeting her celebrity crush, into reality. And, of course, he will like her as well. There were some cute moments, as the couple had chemistry and looked good together. There was some drama too.

But the overall story is predictable and cliche. The characters felt one dimensional, especially the leading lady, with no background, no plans for the future or actual personality other than the basic cookie cut one they were introduced with. That is not to say that the actors were bad; they were actually really good and their performances were enjoyable. However, the script didn't allow them to really shine.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" Followers " was a visual pleasing drama.

The story was okay, but it could have been way better. There were so many issues that the drama touched, like having to choose between family and wokr. But the drama focused more on the bringht lights and the beautiful colors rather than the story. So, it felt like it was presented a bit superficial, without taking a deeper dive into what the characters felt. The romance was nice and subbtle, and the monbebe mother was just reletable and funny. Also, the second couple felt odd, as the guy seemed more connected with the son rather with the mother. The final episode was a bit rushed and it was more like it was trying to wrap things up with an unrealistic happy ending. Still, the cinematography was breathtaking and the performances were great from everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.
