While My Mister was on my to watch list for a very longtime, I decided to finally give it a go and I was happy I chose to do so. I have rarely watched a drama that was as good organized as this one in which two characters, who both hit rock bottom, live a life and due to bad circumstances are in touch with each other which develops into a lovely relationship in which both profit and cheer their life. The only thing I would've liked to see being developed more was the cause of the relationship between jung hee and gyum duk.

IU did a excellent job at her acting as usual, but I was positively surprised by Lee Sun Kyun, who did a thorough job as a sad, yet quiet person. The music was also of a very high level, so I would definitely recommend you all who did not watch it or are doubting to watch it, simply to watch it!

From my opinion 'The Village: Achiara's Secret' is a failed attempt of trying to create a dramatic mystery with a bit of horror in which a girl is trying to discover an identity of a killed person, thereby revealing a very ugly truth.

Though in theory it might have been a nice story as a series, it failed on several occasions. The actors were not in the correct roles and/or acted below standards. Story was very basic in which the story was predictable several episodes advanced. Trying to create side stories which were pretty useless and non-interesting. Though I have had some spare moments of joy within this series, I can't give more than a single five for this series, which I think is on the high side.

Yet to this day I have no clue what moved me to actually watch this series as it is totally not my genre, however after finishing it I thought it was quite a cute series. Acting was quite good, however the story was fair. Not too bad, not unique either and so now and then it was very cliché at certain parts, while there was a small twist at the end that threw me off, even though I knew what was going to happen to all these girls.

The good thing is that the producers decided to tell the stories of all girls and not only of the three major ones, which made it more interesting as other series similar to this have the tendency to just focus on the major characters within a series.

While the story itself was a tad basic and did not go fully in details for every character (probably impossible with just six episodes), the series itself exceeded my expectation with the cast performing an absolute terrific job with their roles. The emotions, choice of songs were excellent and little did I know about the history of those two and to see such an ending. Absolutely worth a try to watch and I would highly recommend it.

Also to state that the supporting cast was a very strong one and did an excellent job. I was especially fond of Go Bo Kyul's character.

Pied Piper tells the story of three main characters which were involved in an incident in their own way thirteen years ago. A criminal which tries to force his own justice on those who deserve it in a way that looks awfully familiar to a book called 'Pied Piper'.

Pied Piper was a series which I have enjoyed watching with some dark plots. From my perspective it started a bit slow and boring, but gradually improved in quality. The series mislead you several times about the identity of Pied Piper, which makes you wonder at the end if it was really him (of course until it is known for sure in the last few episodes).

Though I wouldn't rewatch this series as it is not fun anymore once you know all about Pied Piper's identity from the beginning.

A dark, but great series from my point of view and I would give it a well-deserved 7.5.

As of the moment I am writing this review, I haven't watched the Chinese version, so I can't compare both series and story lines with each other like previous writers do, so I will solely base my review on this series.

I have had my thoughts to actually start watching this series as the plot seemed to be very common amongst fantasy dramas, however I gave it a go and from my view it was totally deserved to be watched. A very nice romance series in which a lead plays an important role amongst the princes their fate. The acting was strong, but to be honest when I am watching IU playing, I am basically sold already haha!.

Though I gave it a pretty low re-watch value as I am not a person who likes to re-watch such dramas as it will spoil the series when you know the story pretty much beforehand.

Goblin was massively hyped on multiple platforms across the internet, but failed to meet my high expectations.  It was a good series, no doubt, but somehow I just expected more out of it.  

Even though the story could have been improved at the beginning a lot as I was very close about giving up on Goblin, I am happy I managed to get through the first few episodes as this series improved a lot when it was nearing the end. Acting of the cast was up to standards, however I found the age difference between Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) and Ji Eun Tak (Kim Go Eun) bothersome and somehow found the secondary love couple more interesting; Grim Reaper (Lee Dong Wook) and Sunny (Yoo In Na). Goblin's Music was top notch. Enjoyed it very much with these beautiful songs out there.

Now you can disregard my rewatch value ranking as I am absolutely not fan of rewatching series, cause the story is spoiled once you know most of it already.

Time between Dog and Wolf may have been one of the most thrilling Korean series I have watched so far. A great story of a son wanting his revenge for the death of his parents, but got caught up in several issues making it harder for him to actually carry on with his plans. It may not have been the most unique story out there, but the producers managed to write it in such a way that it was very thrilling, yet dramatic to a level that it became unique itself. It even had a few surprises in store, which I did not see coming at all. On top of that, I especially enjoyed the couple Ji Woo (Nam Sang Mi) and Soo Hyun (Lee Joon Gi), which did act up to their standards with great supporting actors to back them up and loved the never endless story between both of them. Considering the Music, I would say that it was nicely written.

While ''A Man called God'' has been in my list for ages to watch, I never really got to watch it until weeks ago. I just barely finished it by today and I wasn't impressed by it at all and the series felt like a complete waste of my time with a mix of several series, but in a poor performance.

The story of the series was executed poorly and was often very predictable in outcome. Such wealthy CEO's, despite being greedy, would never fall for such easy and clear tricks. It also missed the points completely and could've been much shorter than the 24 episodes it currently was. The acting scored even lower as there was barely any chemistry between any of the actors and neither of them were unable to display their emotions in a realistic way.

The only plus point was that the music of the series itself was quite enjoyable and I'd definitely would never re-watch it again.

Little Girl K is a short, but powerful drama about a young girl forced to become a part of a secret organization, while eager to revenge her closest family member's death. The lead Yun Jin is played by Han Groo and she definitely made an impressive debut to TV screen. Never expected her to be so powerful and strong on screen and I can't think of any other actress that could possible replace her.

Like previous reviews said, the story itself is not really new as a person that lost someone is out for revenge, however the acting of the actors and the action (which it is full of) will keep you interested.

I would definitely recommend you to watch it if you'd love series like IRIS or Athena, however I still wonder why Korean tv blurs out blades, while showing all wounds made by it clearly visible on screen.

A series with lots of actions and no romance, but yet they figured to include lots of drama. The first part of the series started off great, but the series was degrading in quality over time. It was still good, no worries, but I think a season of 12 episodes would have been just fine and would have resulted in a higher note.

Like a previous person said, they seem to focus more on the events rather than on the backgrounds. We do learn a bit about Gun Woo, Jang Min Joo & Jang Moo Won, but Choi Tae Pyeong was left as a blank character which was a bit disappointing to me.

The ending was fine I guess, though I would have sticked to the dark ending as it would have been perfectly fitting for this kind of series.

While I started to watch ''Nokdu Flower'' with almost zero knowledge of Korea's history in regards to this period of time, I was thoroughly surprised and definitely learned some new facts (including reading historical articles after some events happened within the series).

The series itself may be slow at times, even overly dramatic at some points and not as much action as one may wish from a drama or film, but I thoroughly enjoyed the story itself as it's most likely closer to reality and made directors really do their best to produce a proper story.

While the story was efficient and good, they did an even better job with the cast as many of the actors were a perfect fit for their position. I especially found Choi Moo Sung (when not?) and Jo Jung Suk excel at their roles.
