" Perfect and Casual " is a cozy, heartwarming drama, with a simple story and an enjoyable couple.

The relationship Perfect and the whole mood was Casual. The two of them were adorable and kind of clicked together, with smooth chemistry and lovable moments.
As for the secondary couples, they were okay, but overshadowed by the main couple, which was way more interesting than them, and they ended up a bit half-baked.
Still, the drama, with its tropes and cliches, was cute, without getting boring, and had nice performances from everyone in the cast.

So, overall seven and a half out of ten.

" Birthcare Center " mixed comedy and drama masterfully.

The story touched some subjects that aren't easily presented or exposed, such as the struggles that mothers face, as well as those situations that aren't that 'glowing'.

They blended those themes with a comical-tragic character, as she advanced her journey through motherhood, finding it difficult to be happy about it, while struggling to make friends with the other mothers and defending her decision to keep her job position even after she gave birth.

Her dynamics with her main antagonist were spot on and their confrontations were entertaining. The other side characters were interesting as well, and some of them quite tragic.

As for the family drama, that too was realistic and funny at the same time.

So, overall, 8.5 out of 10.

" Peanut Butter Sandwich " started nicely, but it was too short and too rushed.

First of all, they didn't manage to finish properly the stories. Rather, as the length of the drama is too short, they focused on one of them and they either verbally mentioned the conclusion of the others in the end, or they showed a scene or two as to wrap things up in a way. That element of the drama was probably it's major minor, as the start was strong, with compelling stories and some interesting characters. Especially the 'Peanut Butter Sandwich' team was a delight to watch.

As for the performances, all the actors and actresses did a great job with their characters and their performances were nice.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" Team Bulldog: Off Duty Investigation " takes a whole twelve episodes to actually explain why it is named as it is.

The drama is the classical police story, with some criminal cases, a big serial killer story, and a nicely blended team. The main characters were the highlight of the drama, with interesting as well as quirky personalities that somehow had smooth chemistry between them and, thus, provided entertainment and some funny scenes. The criminal cases, in addition, were masterfully crafted as to not drag too much and keep the thriller element high till the very ending. Unfortunately, there were some storylines and questions that were left unanswered.

Still, this was not the typical OCN drama, as it had few dark moments and a more comical mood. The performances were pretty great from everyone, especially from the leading lady, and the action scenes well choreographed.

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

" IN SEOUL season two " follows the main character from the first season as she handles friendships and her college life. So, the focus this time swifts from the mother-daughter relationship to the young adult problems, with the girl, our main lead, trying to be a match maker and bring together her best friend with a guy from her faculty. That is blended nicely with some background information about the best friend's dating life, some drama when it comes to uni classes and fellow students, and, of course, the clouds that appear for the girls' relationship.

The start of the drama was strong, with a small introduction to the characters and a few info on what has happened in the first season, as we jumb right into action. The pace was nicely kept throughout the drama, fast and just right for the story. However, the ending was way too quick to resolve everything and didn't give the satisfaction that it could have. That fact was a let down, as the drama, overall, was a nice surprise and probably kind of better than the first season. The main character's romantic relationshup was not well explored as well, as there were only hints here and there that things didn't go as smooth as they seemed.

Still, the performances were decent from everyone in the cast and the new characters were entertaining and interesting.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Dear my name " had an ambisious story to tell, and they made it work.

Somehow, in this short drama, the story and whole universe of "being named" was smoothly unfolded and fitted perfectly along the lines of the romance. They even made a love triangle and a second characters romance. However, even though the main love story is cute and the two leads have chemistry, which helps a lot, the whole trop about him not knowing that she is a girl is a bit idiotic. And it lasted too long for it to be believable.

Still, the drama, overall, is a fun ride. It has its cute moments and the leading lady is adorable.

So, seven out of ten.

" Rent a Friend " was an okay movie.

It probably needed more time to progress and showcase all those interesting issues that it raised. And truly, the movie gave a brief introduction to the discussion of what is friendship, what is love, and what is the nature of human relationships. However, part of that quick burst of philosophical questioning towards the end of the film, the movie only scratched the surface of the those themes. It rather focused on the romantic story, which, however, was left with a baffling ending. At least, if you are going to go with the love story, give a nice conclusion to it.

Nevertheless, the idea was interesting and the performances quite strong.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" Soul Mechanic " was a pretty sweet drama.

It revolved around human relationships and the root of the psychological problems that the patients faced. And, they actually added many medical cases to support the main story, making it even more heartwarming and emotional. The main story itself was good, but the big hospital drama was just predictable and boring. The final ending had everything too easily resolved. Still, the romance was slow paced, which made it more realistic, and the couple had chemistry. But this drama didn't focus on the love story. Rather, it was more about family, friendship and hope. The cast, finally, did a great job with their performances.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" The Big Boss season two " was almost as funny and enjoyable as the first season.

There were two problems with this season, though. First, there were some "stories" / "universes" that were reused. Also, the final episode promising something that was never delivered, like it was teasing the audience with a romance that was left to everyone's imagination.

Other than that, for a comedy, this one was pretty great. The leading lady did an excellent job with her character and she was delightful to watch, stealing the scene from everyone. And it was great to learn more about the characters' background stories and families.

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

" The Big Boss season one " was, somehow, quite enjoyable.

The drama is overall ridiculous, with so many genres wrapped in a crazy ride of a plot. However, it must be noted that for those looking for school romance, this drama will not provide it, at least for the first season. Not that that is a bad thing, as the series focused more on the comedy element, which it actually handled perfectly and in big doses, making it satisfying for the audience. Still, the dynamics were there between the two leads, whether they were romantic or antagonistic. The friendship of the students was nicely presented as well, which was a bonus for the drama. In addition, even though some episodes were less interesting than others, this odd and over the top sometimes drama was pretty entertaining, with a feel good vibe and a main character that could easily win your heart with her strong female lead and almost like anime personality.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

" Love Cells " was, actually, a good short drama.

The first episodes were a bit over the top, with some ridiculous situation taking place. However, they somehow made it work. The stellar cast, with some heavy industry names having not only a cameo or two but some small parts in it, did add some funny moments to the mix. The story had a surprising new route to follow towards the ending, which was cute and refreshing actually. And they did wrap up things nicely.

The performances, too, were nice from everyone in the cast. The settings and costumes were adorable too.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Back Hug " was a nice TV special.

The story was odd, but kind of realistic, and, surprisingly, the pace was spot on. But the ending was open, though, it is kind of expected from a TV special. The performances were great as well from both leads and they did have a nice chemistry and interesting dynamics. The moral of the story was good as well, as the story didn't focus on the romance, but, rather, to the growth of the characters and them overcoming their problems and fears.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Wish Woosh " was a cute web drama.

The main lady was adorable, though, she got a bit tiring towards the ending, but the final episode made things up smoothly. The office drama was nice as well, as it shown how difficult it is to have a relationship in the office, especially for the business women.

Actually, the second couple was a bit more interesting than the main one. The performances in addition were all great from all the actors and the actresses of the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

" 22 Flower Street " was a cute web drama.

The story was predictable but it was sweet and youthful. The characters were quite interesting as well, especially the leading lady who was pretty adorable and funny. The drama did a good job with the pacing and the presentation of the love story as well, which, unexpectedly, had some time to conclude things properly and give the couple more moments. The latter was actually pretty cute together, with nice chemistry. The love triangle was managed masterfully too. Finally, the performances were decent too.

" A little thing called first love " was a nice drama, but, towards the ending, they messed it up.

The story was pretty cute, with a nice paced romance. The love triangle was interesting too, with enough intensity to keep things fresh for a while. Although, her friend was a bit clingy and overdoing it with her obsession for her love interest, which was obvious that wouldn't lead her anywhere. Nevertheless, the main character was pretty likable, with a nice, smooth character development that was well handled. However, the final episodes were disappointing. Especially the last one, was a bit open, as they didn't conclude everything nicely.

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