End: 9/10
Ahh 17 weeks and its over! *sad face* Refresh Man was the first Taiwanese drama I watched, and I’ve got to say, I loved every moment of it! (except for the one episode per week, it was terrible!!) The story was pretty standard, nothing overly excitable but it was still delivered very well and captured my interest majority of the time. The middle did drag in my opinion, maybe just after that half way mark but the story picked up towards the end, and it was very suspenseful and left me wondering what was going to happen next! Aaron Yan (so charming ;-;) and Joanne Tseng have great chemistry, the friendship and romance between the two is very cute, overall they played their roles very well, and I look forward to watching more dramas by the two in the future! The rest of the cast also did a solid job, Lene Lai was brilliant, she was probably my favourite character! Refresh Man shows determination and hard work through the characters and their roles, and if you’re new to Taiwanese dramas like I was definitely give this a try, or if you just love romance and business-like themes I hope you will enjoy Refresh Man as much as I did!

The story was planned out very well, and it kept me on the edge of my seat whenever something unexpected happen, which happened a fair bit (but in a good way!) The story is just so emotional and beautiful that I couldn’t help shedding a few tears (just kidding A LOT of tears!) it’s one of those drama’s that would be great to binge watch, it was honestly so hard to wait a whole week for then new episodes! Also at times its really funny (the chemistry between Lee Sung Min and Lee Jun Ho) and just the themes of family, life and romance, it really has something for everyone.
I REALLY recommend this drama, it was pulled off exceptionally well. I really liked the music, especially If You Love Again and More Than A Memory, every time I heard the first note of More Than A Memory like man the feels ;-;
It has to be one of the best drama’s I’ve ever watched, and I’m honestly so sad it’s come to an end! I would definitely re watch this drama in the future however, and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did! <3

I really enjoyed watching Start Again, the characters are all so likable and the plot was really interesting, the only con being it was very predictable, but at times it could also surprise you, especially as it neared the ending of the episode, cliffhangers that made you want to watch the next episode. The romance is sweet, not overly strong but enough to keep you cheering for them through their troubles. The beginning was extremely well delivered, and kept me wanting more, until it began nearing the end when the plot started to get rushed, and it just got too predictable for me to take seriously, eg I skipped some scenes at the VERY end, like the last few episodes.
The main cast, including Park Min Ji (who played Bo Ra in Cheese in the Trap), Kim Jeong Hoon, Park Sun Ho and Go Woo Ri were pleasant to watch especially Go Woo Ri who played her ‘’ rather antagonistic’’ character very well. The other thing about Start Again is that there are A LOT of connections between the characters, this can either be a good or bad thing, however I found it interesting, but often at times silly. The music is one of the best things about this drama, the OT/ET by Park Seeyoung I really loved, and the many songs and instrumentals used I still listen to today.
Start Again was the first daily drama I watched, and I really enjoyed watching it, and I'm happy I completed it, there were many times that had me excited for the next episode, times when something unexpected happened, and the times that were just so sweet made Start Again a memorable drama to say the least, plus the 35 minute length daily was perfect. Although I don’t want to watch this drama again anytime soon, I can definitely see myself re-watching it in the future!
