" Sutaman-Kono Hoshi no Koi " was kind of boring.

What was interesting about this drama was the family dynamics. The children were adorable and they performed really well. The story had an interesting idea behind it too, however, there were too many cliches in it and the romance was weak and not that entertaining.

Some episodes were boring too. And some scenes were idiotic. But, other than that, the drama had some feel good vibes and cute characters.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" Asaki Yumemishi " was an emotional story.

The plot tells the love story of two people that shouldn't be together but they fell in love anyway. The drama focused mainly on the leading lady and so the lovers didn't really have many moments to get a nice progress of the love story.

However, the costumes and settings were pretty good and the performances decent. Plus, they kept the story realistic enough. Though the ending was tragic, so be aware.

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

" The Night of the Comet " was cute.

The story was okay, although they got things messy right from the start. They didn't handle the twist in the begining very well. Not that it got confusing, it just was too sudden and quick. That mishap aside, the drama had a nice pace and the story had some cute moments. The couple was adorable too. The side characters and their stories were overlooked most of the time, though. The drama had some cliche twists too. But the performances were good.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" Cyborg She " had potential. However, the story was not well presented.

The story line didn't move as smoothly as it should. They did explain things in the end, but till then, the story was a bit confusing. The action scenes were good though. And they handled the whole chatastrophy scenes quite well, with excellent CGI. The performances, in addition, were really good from everyone in the cast, but especially from the leading lady.

So, four out of ten, because the story could have been better.

" Love Playlist : Season Four " was probably as good as the first.

Even though the second and third season were just okay, this one had a more solide story. The love stories were cute and had a nice progress and pace. The couples had good chemistry as well which helped a lot with keeping the drama interesting. The music was pretty good too. However, the final episode was boring. They could have done it a bit better, with a nicer presentation of the conclusions of each story.

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

" Issue Makers " was a cute short drama.

The story is taking place at an office and there is some romance and coworkers dynamics that worked well for it. However, it was too short and it didn't help for the progress of the story, as it was fast paced and the relationship development was not nicely paced. Still, the small everyday cases they had to take on were entertaining and interesting. The characters were good too and they had chemistry between them. Finally the performances were good from everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

" Love On-Air " was okay. It was nothing special really, however.

The story follows an ex idol who is trying to become a radio hostess while getting back her love for music. The love story was so so, as it was predictable and boring. The couple had chemistry but they didn't have any opportunity to exploit it. The performances were good as well, especially from the leading lady who nailed the dramatic scenes. The small cases were cute too and very entertaining. Just the main plot was a bit boring.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" Goodbye Summer " was just not good. They probably wanted to make it all artistic and cinematic, but it didn't work for them.

For starters, the movie was too short. If they really wanted to present a decent story, it had to be more than an hour. Secondly, the story was just an idea, but there was nothing else to support it. The characters were shallow and the movie didn't present them well. There was no plot and no background to the story. In the end, the only thing that you get to see is the students eating and talking. At least the performances were decent.

So, four out of ten.

"Age of Bood" was an okay movie.


The story was interesting as an idea and there were some solid scenes here and there, but the presentation of the events and the character was just not good. That's why the result was flat. The action scenes, however, were good. The visuals were top notch as well.


In addition the performances were great. Especially the lead actor was extra good, with excellent action scenes. The ending was emotional and deep too.


So, overall, six out of ten.

Truthfully, I have watched better specials than "Let us meet". However, it was entertaining enough.

The love story was interesting, even though it was predictable. The ending, however, was original and tragic.

The performances were good overall. But, I do have to say that I've found the leading lady a bit too much and overacting sometimes. Still, she had chemistry with her love interest.

Finally, the drama presented the story nicely, with nice settings and costumes that feated the era when the story was taking place.

So, overall, six out of ten.

"Through her lenses" had a nice story, but it got boring soon.

The plot had an interesting theme, dealing with loss and how different people dealed with the deaths of their loved ones. However, the presentation of the sit was tiring to watch. movie got boring soon and it was tiring to watch. It actually frlt like the story was spread through the two hours too thinly.

That said, the characters were interesting and the performances from all actors and actresses were really good. Especially the tragic scenes were well performed.

So, overall, six out of ten.

This review may contain spoilers
"Second summer never see you again" was not a movie with a plot that you have never watched before. However, it had nice music.

The movie starts with pretty much spoiling the whole plot, as the main lead is revealed to be dying and she leaves the male lead with an apology. He is heartbroken and somehow goes back in time to relive their summer and "make things right". So, the whole point of the movie is for him to not fall in love with her. Even though he was already in love with her... Or, at least, not to have her know about his feelings.

Other than that, the forming of the band was nice. Plus, the girl had a beautiful voice.

So, overall, six out of ten.

My best summer is the movie remake of the drama With You. Because of that, many events were a bit rushed. However, still, the movie itself was good.

What I really liked about the movie compared to the drama, was that they gave us a better ending. It was well concluded, although it could have been just a bit better. Still, it was satisfying.

Another thing that worked for My best summer, was the chemistry between the two leads. Plus, the acting was good too. The friendship part, in addition, added a fresh note to the story.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Although an oldie, my name is sam soon is a goodie.

The story is simple and you know where it is heading. Sure, there were some cliches, that, fortunately, didn't take over the drama, thus, the story was more upbeat and fresh.

The comedy part, however, was the main star of the drama. The two characters, although they didn't overflow chemistry as a couple, were great as the two opposites that kept colliding.

In addition, a big part of the main drama was good, as it was closer to a slice of life than the romantic comedy genre.

Finally, the performances were really good.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

The second season of my first first love continues the story from where season one left it, which was kind of an open ending.

So, the second one was not as good as the first one when it came to the main couple. Sure, there was a conclusion and it was nice to see the progress of the relationship. However, I enjoyed the second couple the best. I guess they were cuter together and adorable overall. Plus, the bridge between the leading lady's love story was kind of awkward.

That said, the family drama was really good. It was nice that they remembered to finish the family stories of each and everyone character and they didn't use them just to fill in the gaps of the main story.

The acting was good as well, however, I still found the leading lady a bit stiff.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
