Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai is a cute drama with some funny moments, and a sweet romance. One of the key disadventages of this drama is the pace. The love story moves way too slow and it is pushed aside by the other romance between the girl and the sales manager. Honestly, though, the love story was very intense towards the end. However, the ending was a bit of a let down. Other than that, the concept was interesting and entertaining. And the performances were good. So, seven and a half out of ten.

The third movie of the High and Low series had one of the best action scenes so far. It was so good and it will leave you fully satisfied. The story is good as well. The plot thickens, as the demons of the past are resolved and the gangs move forward. The characters are basically the same, with the addition of the new villains. So, part of the action scenes, the well managed fights and the plot, the performances were great and the settings top class quality. The soundtrack was excellent as well.

Switched is surprisingly a very entertaining drama. The execution of the fantasy element was well made and the whole body switching was nicely explained. The drama hit the top when we discovered the real personalities of the characters. The twist in the end was lovely as well. In addition the love triangle was really really cute and that helped with the love story to be intense, though the plot focused more on the characters rather the romance, which was a relief. The performances, finally, were top notch from every actor and actress in the drama.

An intense drama with a heavy plot this one. The story has so many leyers that sometimes it wasn't easy to keep up. However, the many twists and the drama from the past were really entertaining. This drama follows the japanese original closely, but add it own touch to it, with the final ending similar and yet very different. Actually, the ending was a shock and it suited the relationship overall, the later being a very well presented one, as the two actors had chemistry. There were two things however that I didn't like about this drama : they left some things unconcluded and unexplained (a); Jin Kang was sometimes annoying as a character (b). But, overall, it was a great drama, so 8 out of 10.

This was an emotional movie, about a family who losses their mom and yet, miraculously, she appears again. The performances were great from all the actors and especially the kid, who was exeptional. The love story was cute and sweet as well. The whole fantasy element was well explained, so there were no plot holes in the story and the ending was original and realistic. The flash backs were well managed as well. So seven out of ten for this simple, yet powerful story, which got me emotional despite being so simple.

A story about a girl who loves her family, her controling mother and a guy who has a different bilief on the matter. I did like the series, mainly because of the leading lady, who was adorable, innocent and had a major character development. I also liked that the drama focused on the family dynamics, although that ment that the romance was weak, even though the couple had chemistry. Great performances, good settings and a touching story completed the puzzle of a good drama. So, seven out of ten.

A I Love You is like "Her" only more teenagy and naive. The story is cute and the romance sweet, though the characters are never presented more in depth and they are just superfecial beings with some quircks. Especially the ending, however, was left open and highly confusing as to what happened, who was A I and who made the App in the first place and why to sent it to the girl.... So, part of the plot holes, and the open ending, the movie was okay, so 5 out of 10, because the performances were decent.

Bakuman is interesting from the perspective that we get to see how mangaka work. It's amazing how they manage to actually hand draw all these pages!! The story showcases the struggles of mangaka to finish their work, to get noticed and to get read.
The other part of the story, however, was kind of weak. The love story can't even called a love story, the hero's past about his uncle was properly shown and his condition was roughly managed. Therefore, the story was a bit boring at times.
Other than that, the performances were really good and the presentation of the manga well executed.

Big warning : this is a sad movie. But does it worth it? Definitely yes. The story is sweet, though the ending could have been better. Even though its sad, it could have been presented better. The performances were really good though, from all the actors and actresses. Aslo, the main couple had chemistry and they were cute, especially the girl, all quirky and adorable. The cinematographty, moreover, was splendid, especially, when they were in the forest, with all the colours and the lighting. So, 8 out of 10, because I would have liked if it was better executed.

Your Honor is a law drama with an interesting plot about twin brothers that change places in a way. Of course the performances were great, and therefor the shots with the "twins" were nicely made and the producers pulled it off without making it cheap. Also, some cases were entertaining. In addition, the family drama was intense and explained in depth. Though, the drama was weak at some points. For exaple, the criminal twin took his brother's place with no knowledge about how to be a judge and he actually pulled it off without raising suspicions. Also, the drama got a bit boring at times. But, overall, it was enjoyable.

As a big fan of the series, I admit that this one could have been the best one yet. However, the ending was the sole reason why this drama can't be rated 9 out of 10.
Minus:
-The ending was rushed due to the leads army enlistment and so the story never really ended properly.
-The romance was nice, but getting our guy single again by killing his old girlfriend was a bit of a no no for me, as I loved them as a couple in the second season.
-Sometimes the pace was tiring.
Possitive:
-The acting was great
-The story was the best one yet, with those reply, youth vibes. Even the back and forth was cleverly managed.
-There were some little inside jokes here and there, like when the two boys got in a fight over food, someone will come and stop them by pointing out that the food will get cold.
-The food was plenty and didn't disappoint
-The couple had chemistry
So, overall, 7.5 out of 10.

For all those who are wondering if this is a boy love movie, honestly, it was more like friendship between two boys than love. The movie overall was good, with a strong theme and a nice plot twist. However, I did find it a little tiring, as it overexploited some scenes to the point that it was just boring to watch. So, other than the thinly spread of the story to match the time of two hours, the film had some great performances and it was moving and enjoyable. The ending was great as well. So 7 out of 10.

This one reminded me of the Lover drama, as it was funny, short and simple. The story uses every misunderstanding and wild scenario to make you laugh and it succeeds. It's witty, it's funny, it's entertaining, and it is interesting. It doesn't gets boring, as it is short lengthed and it has a nice story. The performances were good as well. It has the feeling of a web series, but it doesn't get all advertising on you, so you can enjoy it without the meaningless plot twists that are added to promote products. So 8 out of 10.

I've picked up this drama because I'm a huge Suho fan and I had to watch it. However, my review will be bias free and I'll try to keep it objective. So, first of all, I have not watched the japanese original one, so I can't say if this is better or not. But I did enjoyed some parts of this drama. Some scenes were cute and funny. But, I did not like the story line, as it was kind of messy. Aslo, the romance was weak. I mean, the lead had more kissing scenes with the second lead lady than with the leading lady. I guess, the drama focused more on the company, on the friendship, the past mystery, which wasn't that big, the development of the main character, and left everything else out until the very last episode. There were some sparks here and there, but the love story was very spread out. Aslo, I didn't like that sometimes the acting was a big too forced, like overacting. But that was the case for a few scenes, so I can overlook it overall.
Summing up, Rich man was an okay drama. It isn't a total wast of your time, just don't expect too much out of it.

This review may contain spoilers
A short drama, two episodes long, with a cute but sad story. Sure, the plot is kind of unrealistic. At first, actually, I was confused with the guy, because I thought they were the same person with the famous actor. But things got clearer as the drama proceded. The love story was cute and warm actually, even though the length of the drama was kind of too short. They managed, nevertheless, to pull it of nicelly though. Aslo, I liked the cute popular drama reenacting. And for those who are wondering about the ending SPOILER (it very was realistic).
