" Matching! Boys' Archery " was a fan ride.

The drama has a feel good vibe, with the main character being extra adorable and cute, though going into extremes in order to get inspiration for her webtoon. But, she was enjoyable overall. The boys were classic Korean drama, or shall I say, webtoon characters. You have the clever one, the cold one, the pretty one, the athletic one and the good, friendly one. So, in the end, you've got them all, although this short drama is not about romance, rather, it's about bonding, friendship and sportsmanship. The archery part, though small, was nicely presented. The ending was a happy one, so they kept the momentum till the very end.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Ending Again " was a pretty entertaining web drama.

Not the classic innocent story that Global Playlist usually presents, " Ending Again " had a nice pace romance, with a well developed love triangle. However, in the end, it felt like they left a lot out, like her friend's romance with that suspicious guy, what really happened with the scholarship to Paris, what was that big rumour that ruined the main lead's college life, as pretty much no one talked about it, his friend who was advising him, his motives, as he never actually explained his reasons properly to her, and, well, the ending, oh, and the reasons of her ex's illness and his regret. But, nevertheless, watching it actually made me feel warm and fuzzy. The leading lady had chemistry with both boys, which made it difficult at first to choose one to root for. The best friend was also funny and added some spice to the plot. The performances, finally, were good and the OST great.

So, seven out of ten.

" Big Forest " was a quite interesting drama.

The comedy was solid, with elements of romance, drama and family drama, as well as a lot of slice of life. The characters, apart from the main ones, of course, were entertaining as well. Each episode told the stories of the two different men and their adventures, though, some of them were a bit ridiculous. Still, that unique way that they presented the story, although confusing at the beginning, was actually one of the good factors of the drama. The pace was relaxed too, that allowed for the comedy element to immerge from unlucky situations. The performances, finally, were pretty good from all the actors and actresses of the drama.

So, overall, seven out of ten, because this drama was entertaining and different from other kdramas.

" Tell me what you saw " had its flaws, but, overall, it was solid.

The drama had some interesting cases to present. Especially the first ones were pretty emotional and intense. The main case was also unexpected and had a nice mystery. The characters, as well, were explored in-depth and had strong personalities. The performances were perfect, as expected, but especially the leading lady was a delight. Finally, the atmosphere of the drama was perfect, with enough gore and action to keep things interesting, and a dark mood that feated the story well.

However, the drama had some problems with the execution and the plot. The main plot line was useless after the first episodes and there were some idiotic plot twists that didn't make sense and didn't suit the drama.

But, overall, it was enjoyable, so seven out of ten.

" Missions of love mini drama " finally showed us where that poster came from.

So, the premises of the story were a bit over the top, with the game uploading real characters from the female lead's school (and work), but it had a nice, cute atmosphere as a whole. The performances were pretty good as well, especially from the leading lady. However, if you haven't watched the movie, you might get confused as to who is who and what is their relationship with the female lead. The ending, though, was good and had a nice twist to it.

So, overall, four out of ten.

" XX " (the more accurate title) or " Blue Moon " was a nice web drama.

Global Playlist do tend to take a leap off the school drama (which nails) and give chances to new actors (like Hani here), fortunately, as the stories are pretty good. In this one, they nicely wraped up every nook and plot line that they had, which was satisfying. The revenge scenes were the BEST part of the drama, as they were so enjoyable! The romance was nice and well placed, but the way the girls handled that jerk in the end was just right. The side characters were entertaining too.

So, overall, seven out of ten for this web drama.

" A ghost I know " was a nice comedy, but not a great romance.

Well, actually the main romance wasn't that good. It was predictable and kind of boring. But the second couple was adorable. They had nice chemistry and they were funny overall. The two ghosts were pretty hillarious too. They were probably the best part of the drama, as they spiced up the plot and had nice dynamics with the leads. The performances were good too, especially from the secondary characters.

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

" Leverage " was a pretty interesting drama.

The con artists story was entertaining and made right this time, as it was not tiring and never got boring. However, the final con was so so, not as good as the rest. But the team was good, with nice chemistry and interesting characters. Especially the ladies, were really good! Plus, the romance was subtle and was just there to add some light, funny moments so it didn't overshadow or took over the plot, as that would have been boring. The performances were really good too.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

" Doki no Sakura " had a strong start, but a weak ending.

The main character, Sakura, was pretty peculiar, nonchallenged and a stick with the rules kind of girl. And she did dominate the whole drama through and through. The big mystery about her being in a hospital was intriguing at first, got a bit tiring later on though, and, eventually, it was a let down. So, the good parts of the drama were the stories of the people Sakura meets and how she helps them and eventually, changes their lives. The big climax of the drama was when she went back to her hometown and all the big life changing events that happened. However, after that, the drama got boring and the plot was tiring, with few surprises, and pretty predictable therefore. The performances were pretty good though and the chemistry between the friends - co workers helped a lot with the entertainment of the drama. However, the romance twist, even though it was cute at first, got frustrating in the end and probably the drama would have been better off without it.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Yanxi Palace : Princess Adventures " was not as good as the parent story, but it was entertaining.

The start was a bit slow, but after a while, you get back into the Yanxi Palace atmosphere. The love story was actually good, and the ending twist was original and was actually fit for a woman of the Yanxi palace. However, the ghost story part was not well explained, confusing and it needed more time to be well developed and the length of the drama didn't help at all. The performances were really good though and the leading lady was a delight.

So, seven out of ten.

" Kaettekita Ie Uru Onna " is the movie that takes after the first season of the drama, right before the second season. The movie doesn't really add anything new to the story, other than the baby situation, obviously.


Still, the film was entertaining and it had some interesting moments. The funny scenes were good too. Also, the performances from all the the actors and actresses of the cast were good. Especially the leading lady, was exeptional as always.


So, overall, seven out of ten.

" My neighbour can't sleep " is one of these dramas with an idea of a plot, but with tones of cuteness.

First of all, the couple was adorable. Plus, they had chemistry, which helped a lot with the progress of the drama. So, overall, the romance was pretty good. In addition, the pace was excellent and the drama was quick, short and sweet.

However, there were some things that bothered me, mostly about the leading lady. She was suppose to write a novel, but she hardly ever did. Also, in one scene she was promising never to bother the lead again, and then she just forgets about it and she chased after him again.

But, other than that, the drama had a super cute romance and it was light and easy to watch. So, overall, eight out of ten.

" Watashi ni Unmei no Koi Nante Arienaitte Omotteta " for a special, it was pretty decent.

The story was extra cute and the couple was adorable, due to the reason that they were different and fun to watch. The story was predictable and cliche, however, it was well made and kind of sweet and cozy. Probably a guitly pleasure, but it is short for a movie and well paced. The performances were good too from all actors and actresses of the cast. The final ending was okay and very romantic.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Youth " was a nice movie. The only thing that actually made me reduce my rating from nine to seven was the second half of the movie. Even though the start was really good, with a nice introduction of the characters and the setting where the events took place, the final half rushed things up. Especially when it came to the leading lady, with her story and take on the war, they just threw that "that is that from now on" and they didn't give a deeper look into it. Plus, the ending could have been better too, not about the actual ending, but the way they wrapped things up. That said, the performances were pretty good from everyone, especially when it came to the dancing scenes.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

" The Guilty Secret " was an okay web series. Actually, I might go as far as to say it was a classic global playlist web drama.

The story was interesting, as they didn't focus on the young love and high school romance. Rather, that guilty secret was used to prompt the actual plot that was about bullying, friendship, redeption and the web of misunderstandings that lead to misbehavior. The performances from all the actors and actresses in the cast were pretty good and helped the drama a lot. However, the first episodes were too awkwardly presented and too rushed.

So, six out of ten.
