High tension from the beginning. Thrilling, and everything looks nice. Arimura Kasumi's cuteness, and her act when she punched the zombie are the best. I would love to tell you, it's almost the same with Train to Busan, run away from zombies and attack them to survive. But... unfortunately... the story was not good as I expected. It's just 'run away, and attack, run, and attack'. The ending? Bad... unless there will be a sequel, just like Train to Busan. The actions, though, I enjoyed so much. The shattered body, bloody road, and the sounds of weapon make me forget about the plot. Oh yea, the plot? Hmm, it's like the plot could not reach its own goal.

Drama, but it feels like a movie

This drama is about military missions and conflicts. If you binge-watch this drama, it feels like watching an action movie, feels short yet solid plot. If you're looking for a short yet full of action military drama, this is the best for you.

Pros:
- Strong women in the military. She won't cry or be afraid to do deadly missions. You will love their character.
- Every episode gives you a thrill and makes you curious what kind of target we are facing on.
- Long duration of action scenes, less time-waste caused by unnecessary scenes, no romance. This makes the drama looks so solid.
- Not merely a military drama. There's something mysterious you'll find it out later.

Cons:
- There's, still, a scene where someone is dying in front of the enemy with a pistol in his hand, but his comrades come to ask him "are you okay? hang on, we'll get you out" instead of taking the enemy down first. This is the biggest mistake in every action drama/movie and it's still there.

Is it Scary? - Pros & Cons

Total jumpscare scenes: around 6 scenes
Normal jumpscare scene(s): 3 (expected, slowly, far from the screen, creepy but heart-safe)
Mid jumpscare scene(s): 2 (unexpected ghost/scary characters appearance, slowly)
Extreme jumpscare scene(s): 1 (unexpected, fast, eyes to eyes with you, filling the screen, with SFX)

Pros:
- Apink's Eunji. Her acting is so good as always, I love her character in here.
- Nice plot twist.
- It's actually less scary, good for a scaredy-cat like me hohoho. Just watch out for an extreme jumpscare.
- The place they are shooting at really fits the theme. It builds a creepy atmosphere well.

Cons:
- I could say this is rated 16+ but no nudity. It would have been good if this movie has no romance aspect.
- Unsolved conflict.
- Somehow, there's a plot-jump. (Why this happened to this character? What is actually happening?).
- Unnecessary jumpscare (the extreme one).
- Some cheap CGIs are there.

I'm not crying, my eyes are just teary :")

Even though I cried when watching the story, too bad, this drama isn't written well and it has more cons than pros.

Pros:
1. Okay. The last episode is the best episode. It really makes me cry.
2. This drama really knows how to make the watchers keep watching till the end of the drama.
3. Jeon Mido.

Cons:
1. I don't know it's me who fell asleep when watching it or there's a really big titanic plot hole. One of the examples: The death of someone isn't explained well. Is it death because of an accident or a disease?
2. Unnecessary romance. If only the writer removed the romance aspect and went with a story full of friendship, I believe this drama would be super interesting and touching.
3. Loose plot. I believe this drama can only have 6 episodes with a solid plot instead of 12 loose-plot episodes.
4. Incompleted anti-climax. Bruh, there are a ton of conflicts that don't get solved well, unless this drama has its 2nd season.
5. Because of its loose plot, the drama can be boring in the middle.
6. Glamorous life of its characters doesn't match the theme of this drama. I believe "friendship" + "struggling in life, escaping from poverty" would make a better combination.

One of the Best K-Horror Movies

Short terms to describe this movie:
1. Among Us.
2. Doppelganger.
3. Naruto's skill, wind shadow clone.

Information:
Jump scares: Yes.
Jump scares intensity: Low. (I wasn't even flinched a sec)
Sex scenes: No.
Bloody graphics: Yes (Final Destination level).
Ghost form: Possessed human. (Not a monster/fictional being)
Ghost scary level: Low. (The Nun and Annabelle are scarier to me lol)
Religious: Yes (This is a story about a pastor and his family after all)

Pros:
1. Family-friendly. You can (even are recommended to) watch it with your family, relatives, friends, crush, boy/girlfriend.
2. The atmosphere is really dark. If you are a scaredy-cat like me, I recommend you to watch it in the afternoon.
3. The writer is so brave that the ending turns out to not be bright.
4. Solid. Every second haunts you.
5. Jump scares are there, but without an exploding SFX. So it's safer for your heart.
6. Creepy BGM and shrieking sound make it darker and scarier. Watch it with a subwoofer speaker if you have it.
7. Sung Dong Il + Cho Yi Hyun.

Cons:
1. As always, because it's a Korean movie, plot holes are everywhere. But it's not a big deal because we are focusing on the horror scenes.
2. The characters' fate might not meet your expectation.

One of the best romance web drama

Pros:
- Hwang In Yeop. You know, a drama starring him is always entertaining.
- Beautiful plot twist
- Wonderful sets
- Romance that makes you fluttering
- Romance that breaks your heart into pieces, especially for Hwang In Yeop fans - I dare to say that the romance scenes/parts are mostly better than romance in TV drama.
- Easy to understand the story and flashback scenes.

Cons:
- Too short! It's only 10 episodes with 10-15 minutes each :(
- Really need season 2 because there's an incomplete plot and ma heateu is suffering because of that :(
- Need a detailed explanation of why this character fell in love with this character.


I think I will get into web drama more for romance stuff lol. They're not disappointing.

The Most Epic Historical Drama You Probably Didn't Know

I've seen many SK historical dramas with various sub-genres. If you take the sub-genres aside, KINGDOM is the best historical drama. Who knew that historical drama featuring zombies would be a perfect mashup? Usually, I watch a drama because of its casts (I prioritize watching dramas if my favorite actresses are there). In this drama, however, I didn't know who the casts are at all, so this review would be more objective.

Genre: History
Sub-genres: Thriller, horror

Pros:
- No romance sh1t. I mean there's a lil romance aspect in it, but it doesn't affect the solidness of the plot.
- Solid plot. Trust me, there's no wasting time. Every second in this drama has connections to other scenes.
- Easy to understand the story.
- No plot holes.
- Unique characteristic of zombies. It's not like zombies you've found in other dramas.
- Within 6 episodes, you get political, horror/thriller, and mystery aspects.
- Endless breathtaking actions
- Mini plot twists that make you wonder all the time what caused the epidemic.

Cons:
- It's too short :( 6 episodes each season (1 hour per episode)
- As always, you will find it hard to remember who is who.
- Lack of comedy, but some are still there.

What brought me to this drama is the cover. There's cute actress, I'd like to watch.

Anyway, this drama is about moral value. Envy power is destroying anything. We can take so much moral value from this short drama. I will recommend this drama to you who hardly wants to be someone that has anything, money, girl/boyfriend, beauty/handsomeness, etc. So, I would like to include this drama to motivational drama category. To you who are looking the actress' cuteness just what I did, I'm sorry to say, she's indeed main role but it's like she's a supporting role. In other words, her appearance is not much as you want.

Well, if it's not because Ku Hye Seon, I would not watch this drama hahaha. First impression, this drama is too mainstream. It's about vampire and as the title says, blood. But, the positive points you can get is a biology, chemistry, and medical knowledge (as expected from kdrama). Things made me want to watch it until end are the super-modern technology Park Ji Sang and Hyun Woo have. Hyun Woo is a genius man, and I enjoyed anything about his experiment even it's a fiction. If you say why this drama is just 7s on its rating, for me it's the ending's fault. Its ending ruins all of the story. It's like this drama will release its 2nd part or sequel. You will hold so many question after see the last part of the last episode. And yeah, I think this drama is not over yet. Let's see if there is a sequel. Anyway, I love Park Ji Sang's character, cool and cold. HAHAHA.

As always, my motivation to start watching this drama is Ku Hye Seon, she is pretty and cute oh yeah. (finally I found another pretty cute actress after Kim So Hyun and Park Bo Young)
At the beginning, the story seems boring. The plot was too fast as romance drama. But, I would keep watching.... Soo Wan, not the drama lol. Then I found the story went interesting when it reached episode 3. The plot conflicts are not complicated, still they are more complicated than JDrama, so you can feel the romance, and conflicts lol. For me, the plot gone as I wish. So, I can say this drama should have 8.5++ for the rating.
Story: +4. Somewhat, as romance, the plot gone too fast.
Ku Hye Seon is the main role actress: +2
Music: +2. I love the music, I think I'll sing and take my guitar haha. Anyway, finally I found english OST in Kdrama.
20 episodes, 1 hour each: +1
Yeah, for me, this drama should take 9.0

I thought this drama will be in high tense from begining since I heard that DotS was extremely overrated by my friends. "It's tensing. Its actors were in action of missions. It's touching, too." But, after watch it, let me say.. it is indeed an action romance drama.. But, its action scenes were not as much as I expected. However, I would like to include medical things (surgical ops  etc) into action category. So, although its actions were not as many as expected, but I enjoyed  doctors' act. I learned something new about medical sciences from DotS.
Story: +3. It's not complicated (like Black or School 2015), doesn't have a plot goal, yet entertaining.
Containing humor: +3. I give this overrated value. Humors always came when actors came into scenes. Especially, in this drama, I love soldiers' life and humors.
I love the characters (it's not like I love to see handsomeness or beauty with glancing eyes): +2. It's like anyone has humor sense, so it's entertaining me.
It doesn't have a plot twist and plot goal. Some scenes are odd if you think realistically.
It still can make anyone feel the tense. +1

The part of kdrama I hate most is the romance scenes. For me, those scenes waste time a lot when they make them appear frequently. Sometimes, it takes 2 minutes per scene and I can't help but skip it. Don't get me wrong, I love romance drama. But when the scenes are too much, it will be like you put too much sugar into your milk.

However, Hotel Del Luna is different.
It's not only romance but also comedy between the two lovers. At first, I expected the scenes would be so long and was ready to skip them. BUT! As soon as I had a thought about it, they put the twist. Rather than putting kissing scenes, they made some jokes in those scenes and thus became comedy.

The story itself represents so many real-life and social problems. They did well in criticizing modern social life.
I've watched 3 latest IU's dramas and her character + acting are so gooooo0000d.

My Head Explodes

Cons:
1. Too many names and terms to remember. You gotta take a note.
2. Too many faces to distinguish. The villains look similar at the beginning :(
3. Complicated political moves that I forgot who betrayed who. Which one is on one's side.
4. The subtitles can't cover all the captions' translation. So, you gotta hang on it. Eventually, the terms will get their translation later.

Pros:
1. The visual graphic is so woowww.
2. Top-tier moral story.
3. The adventure vibe is so strong that you can feel it in front of your device.
4. This series creates its own language. It adds the vibe mentioned above.
5. The most beautiful Kim Ji Won you can watch in this series.

If you love Del Luna's Jang Man Wol, watch this!

PROS:
- A refreshing genre and plot (this drama was released in the season of thriller/crime dramas).
- Chic, gothic, savage, cool af lead female. I dare to say this is the real Del Luna's Jang Man Wol competitor. IOTNBO's Go Moon Young is crazy, but from the character consistency side, Sell Your Haunted House's Hong Ji Ah is far on the top of hers.
- Touching ending. I'm a male and I couldn't hold my tears watching how Hong Ji Ah's story ends.
- Horror-themed drama is not that common, but this drama bravely shows a beautiful story while maintaining its scary scenes. - The concept is unique (just like Hotel Del Luna's uniqueness, but the story is far different).
- Mesmerizing action scenes by female lead that we can rarely see in K-Drama.

Cons:
- Lack of comedy.
- The anti-climax is not that dramatic and too short.

Questionable Pros or Cons:
- Horror level: It's on the same level as Hotel Del Luna. Jumpscares are there, but only a little amount and intensity.
Not so horror. If you don't like scary stuff, this is one is for you. But if you a horror-drama lover you might find this drama not so satisfying.
- No romance: I personally love it when romance is not taking a big part in the drama. It focuses only on the mystery and horror plot. But, I think most people want to see the male and female lead end up in a romance world.
