Korean Drama '' Gyeongseong Creature '' is a fantasy, horror, action drama.The historical aspect of the drama is spot on. The costumes, make-up, settings, everything are beautiful, and create the right atmosphere, along with camera filters and sharp shots.
The story has enough mystery, moreover, to keep things intense and interesting till the very ending. However, the plot is pretty basic for a fantasy historical drama, with few surprises, a messy pace when it came to the love story, which could have been omitted or kept for the second season, and poor CGI that messed up the whole momentum at times,
Other than that, there were some emotional plotlines and a lot of well handled action scenes.
Finally, the performances were all enjoyable.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Perfect Marriage Revenge '' is a fantasy melodrama with a nice start.The drama indeed starts off strongly, with the makjang vibes really rocking it, as the main female lead was being bitten down again and again by her evil adopted mother and her daughter. The love story that started to bloom was quite interesting as well.
And sure, there were some really idiotic things happening to the characters, but the melodrama allowed the story to be excused from them. The ending, however, and the episodes towards it, were all something that the makjang genre didn't support. The drama started focusing more on the romance, hence, it didn't have enough time to wrap up nicely the rest of the storylines. And, the fantasy element that was used in the first episodes and was forgotten in the middle ones, was brought out again, and wasn't handled smoothly, rather, it was quite rushedly concluded.
So, overall, four out of ten.

Japanese Drama '' My Second Ao Haru '' is a drama about second chances in life.The drama has a pretty enjoyable main story, with an impressive plot and many sweet moments. The relationship between the main female lead and her new friends was enjoyable and adorable as well as they helped each other overcome their problems.
The love story, on the other hand, was not as enjoyable. And that was not because of the age gap, which wasn't that much of a big deal. But, the way it was pace and the tropes that were used, it was eye rolling and boring.
Also, the female lead often acted a bit too much and she was too loud, but, other than that, she gave an enjoyable performance. The rest of the cast did a good job as well.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Korean Drama '' My Man is Cupid '' is a fantasy romantic comedy.The concept of the story, though unique, was quite idiotic overall. It wasn't well executed, though the group of fairies offered many funny moments and their chemistry was spot on. A chemistry that, unfortunately, the main couple didn't have. Therefore, their romantic moments were awkward, which was aided by the absorbed behavior of the main female lead who often acted out so strangely towards the main male lead that more often than not baffled him and the audience as well.
Other than that, the mystery case was pretty intense and interesting.
The performances were okay as well.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Night Has Come '' is a death game with a class of high school students as participants.The drama starts off quite strongly, with the story being gripping and intriguing enough to spark the interest and to have the viewer look for who is behind everything and to figure out what is going on. The use of the mafia game was interesting as well. The bloodshed, though plenty, wasn't just there for show, moreover, but used nicely in the plot. Also, some characters were quite fascinating to follow.
However, the ending was what ruined this drama. First of all, it raised more questions than answers. Also, it was unsatisfying, leaving things unsolved, probably, but unlikely, hinting at a second season. Finally, nothing was explained about that final plot twist, as to how the masterminds behind the game managed to do as they did.
At least, the performances were strong by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Soundtrack #2 '' is a romantic comedy with a music essence.The drama has indeed good music and all the pieces were enjoyable and fit the drama nicely.
On the other hand, and even though there were some parts that were indeed interesting, the love story was boring. It mainly suffered from the drama's length, which was too short and, therefore, didn't allow the story to breathe. Rather, everything was rushed, and nothing was properly and organically developed. Otherwise, it would have been an actual realistic love drama.
The aesthetics, on the other hand, were spot on, and the performances were smooth and enjoyable.
So, overall, four out of ten.

Korean Drama '' The Matchmakers '' is a historical romantic comedy.The drama has a delightful to watch female lead, who was adorable, sassy, feisty, and nailed her emotional moments. She actually carried the drama when things started getting cheesy and boring.
Also, the couple was enjoyable to watch, as they had interesting banter and their dynamics were spot on. However, the love story was just okay, taking off only toward the ending of the series, and being more or less unoriginal. Still, the drama handled them having a significant other that they missed masterfully.
The performances, finally, were pretty great by everyone in the cast, even the side characters. The final episodes, however, were rushed and boring.
So, overall, five out of ten.
