About time introduces the viewer with a new concept, the ability to see your time of death. The whole drama revolves around the question, what if you meet someone who can extend your life? So, the premisses are nice enough, the story interesting, the chemistry between the two leads is killing it and the first episodes were sooooo good, it was only a matter of time before this one started to go downhill. And it did. Unfortunately, the musical parts were tiring, the story started getting boring and the twists were just too predictable to entertain. Those things killed the romance, that was so strong and emotional at first. The final ending was good, but I guess a more dramatic one would have been kind of better.

Come and hug me has you from the first few minutes of the very first episode. The whole drama brings up memories from the Just between lovers drama, as the plot about two people who had to overcome the same painful experiance and still be together is kind of the same. In this case the past that haunts the two characters and everyone around them is the father of the lead who is a serial killer. The story and its presentation are excellent and the whole atmosphere superb, as well as the performances. This drama has its way to make you cry, as it is packed with emotions and action scenes. However, towards the ending, it did got a bit tiring, but overall it was terribly good, so 8 out of 10.

Found this drama because of Il hoon, but I've got to say that it was a really enjoyable one. It was funny and had a simple, but entertaining story that didn't get boring. The family dynamics were providing enough laughter, but the performances, that were on point from everyone, were those who helped this drama to be funny and interesting. That is, at some points, things could have gone towards being idiotic and silly, if the actors hadn't pulled the scenes off. Even though it is hard to find subtitles (I did watch the two last ones raw) this drama is worth it, so try it out if you like comedy, school life and family dramas.

Even though the main description says that it is about men who have the "nine" curse, that theme only was displayed at the premisses of the drama. Actually, the story focused more on the love stories of the three (plus the small one) brothers. And those love stories were quite entertaining. They were intense, nostalgic, cute and sad, so you get the whole package. Also, the performances were really good and helped with the development of the story. Finally, the ending was nice, but I would have liked if there was another episode to properly conclude the story. So, 8 out of 10.

Although this drama has only two episodes, it manages to present the story beautifully. Also, even though it is dealing with time skipping and going back in the past to change the future, they did a great job with that difficult theme. The performances were great as well, and the sweet, emotional story helped a lot. The love story as well was fresh and warm and it dealed with loss, depression and bullying, themes that are difficult to deel properly as well. The ending, finally, was satisfying and I couldn't have imagined a better ending for this story. So, all in all, 8 out of 10.

The second movie of itazurana Kiss takes us all to join the two protagonists as they advance to their university studies. The compus days are following the same patern as the first movie, the boy doesn't have any interest in the girl, though he gives out some signs here and there, and the girl is totally in love with him. Surelly, the girl is one of the cutest characters in J dramas out there. She is fun and sweet and has many cute outfits to accompany her personality. The boy takes second lead in miscievous kiss part 2, as we mainly focus on the girl and what she does. But all in all, it was a fun movie.

Chinese school romance dramas are kind of my thing and this one does not disappoint. It has everything, innocent love, intensinty, second lead, good friendship vibes, chemistry between the girl and the boy, nice built up, drama, high school dynamics. Sure, the story wasn't original and there are tons of dramas out there with the same theme, but at least they hundled it pretty neat and the final result was decent. Also, the girl was cute and funny, whether the boy was kind of a snob at first, got better afterwards, but kept his attitude, which was refreshing because in most dramas the male lead starts with a i-hate-you-i-am-too-cynical and makes a 360 degrees turn a few episodes later. So, 7.5 out of 10.

Second Season of Let's Eat was kind of more interesting for me at least. The eating wasn't as good as the first season, though they did explore more cuisines. So, fair warning that this drama will make you hungry, even if you aren't really into korean dishes. The story, however, was kind of better, with the mystery interesting, but disappointing in the end, the love story very intriguing and the love triangle very entertaining, but kind of disappointing as well in the end. Actually, the love story was better than the first one, as the two characters were better for each other, and had better chemistry. So, all in all, 7 out of 10.

Honestly, season one was better for me. Not that it bothered me that much the fact that they changed the atress for one of the main characters. She was okay with her performance and she had more "spirit" in her than the previous one, so I enjoyed her more. But, this season was more about love and the mystery of the letter than the friendship and the struggles that young poeple go through. Still, it was a nice drama. The mystery was interesting, though it got a bit of tiring in the middle of the drama, but it picked up quickly towards the end. The new girl was interesting as well and she had an entertaining story herself. Finally, the performances were really good and some characters really kept the interest high more than others because of that. So, 8 out of 10.
