Korean Drama '' Cinderella at 2 AM '' tries to reverse the trope of the evil mother in law who gives money to the girl in order to prevent an upcoming marriage. However, the drama fails to utilize it. Instead, it ends up being a classic melodrama.The drama starts off nicely and it does a good job blending a fun and light love story with a cute male lead with darker themes, like domestic abuse. Also, the second couple was adorable as well and they kept things fresh when the main love story got stale.
In addition, there were some episodes that had too many fillers and it was obvious that the drama needed to be shorter. Yet, it was enjoyable.
Finally, every actor and actress in the cast did a good job with their performance.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Japanese Drama '' Chastity High '' is a school melodrama.The story centers around the main lead, Arisawa Ichika, as she struggles to survive financially and becomes an unexpected hero.
The drama tackles a lot of themes, with sensitivity and care, but, due to its length, it doesn't manage to present them properly. None of them has the proper organic development and some of them, especially the romance, feel rashed.
Still, the characters were interesting and the actors and actresses of the cast did an amazing job with their performances.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Japanese Drama '' Kahogona Wakadanna-sama no Amayakashi Kon '' is a romantic melodrama.The short length of the drama means that the story moves too fast. Thus, the love story had a messy pace and used some cheesy cliches to cover that up.
On the bright side, there were some cute moments between the couple, and the main character's journey to make her culinary dreams come true was interesting and it would have been nice if they had focused more on that part.
Finally, the performances from everyone in the cast were enjoyable.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Frankly Speaking '' is a romantic comedy which blends in a lot of genres but ends up a hot mess.The drama starts off smoothly, but soon it loses its way and gets all messy. It actually turns into a completely different drama, completely forgetting its original storylines and ending up being all over the place.
Thus, the romance was swept up into this mess and was hard to enjoy it. The comedy part got weeker and weeker as well.
The performances, on the other hand, were all great by every actor and actress of the cast and, especially, the two main leads.
So, overall, two out of ten.

On the other hand, the performances were all enjoyable.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Miss Night and Day '' is a fantasy romantic comedy with some mystery thrown in the mixture.The drama starts off pretty strongly, and it handles the fantasy element well and smoothly, embedding it nicely in the main plot.
The use of the mystery case, along with the romance which was sprinkled in it and wasn't the main focus of the story, thankfully, all worked in the story's favor.
However, the final episodes were not that good. The drama got messy and the fantasy element was awkwardly resolved.
On the other hand, the performances were all enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Bittersweet Hell '' is a family melodrama with a dark comedy note.The drama has a pretty basic storyline, which can be found in almost every makjang. Still, what sets it apart from the others was the cinematography which was brilliant, with nice contrasts between light and darkness and sharp camera work.
The relationship between mother in law and daughter in law was another perk of this drama. It got strong and stronger as the drama progressed and it was nice to watch girl power as the two of them worked together.
On the other hand, the drama got boring in the final episodes.
Finally, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Missing Crown Prince '' is a historical melodrama.The start and the finale of the drama were light and more like a romantic comedy, with a light mood and emphasis on the comedy part.
The drama got a one-eighty change after those first episodes, with the story getting darker and focusing on the political drama and the politics of the palace. There was a lot of action then and a lot of twists. That is also when the romance got a secondary role in the plot.
Finally, the performances were all great by every actor and actress in the cast.

Korean Drama '' The 8 Show '' is a survival thriller in the form of a game.First of all, because a lot of people compare this to Squid Game, The 8 Show does fall into the same category storywise, but it was better than Squid Game, mainly because it was more invested in the characters and less in creating scenes that would shock the viewer. Actually, there were a lot of shocking scenes, but those were the result of human cruelty rather than scenes specifically designed to result in a bloodbath.
That said, the drama has some merits, yes, but fails to have a smooth development, even giving a proper conclusion and explanation to the whole ordeal. Also, the impressive cinematography got tiring after a while.
Still, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.
