A mystery, reality horror show with a hilarious twists by Super Junior
This is one of the accidental discovery when I'm trying to find something to watch. This was a mystery, reality-horror show which is starred by Super Junior in 2006. The whole story is quite engaging and you will have to really finish it from start to end. Even though I finished it already, it engraved a question in my head. Which part of it is the truth and which part of it is scripted for the sake of the show. It is too convincing just to be purely scripted and fictional. Was Donghae really affected or is he just acting? I'm not sure and I guess I'll never know the answer.Super Junior is one of the boy groups that even though I'm not 100% fan of, I really like the members and I enjoy watching the shows they are in. But I'm still curious if this really happened to them.
The sounds and visuals are too convincing and the jump scares. GAHD! It scared the hell out of me.
This is a good marathon for a Halloween special. It's really scary and hilarious at the same time.

Not as good as I expected
To be honest I wanted to watch this for a long time because I heard a lot of people saying that it's one of their favorite drama of all times. The story started off great and it will spark curiosity and excitement because you'll wonder how the connections of the characters will turned out given that you'd be able to figure out right away how the main characters are entangled due to the incident right from the very beginning. It took advantage of the curiosity of the viewers to the point that it's being dragged on for a long time. I just want to finish it off because what I really wanted to know is how things will turn out in the end. Usually the process should be something enjoyable to watch but for me it's very painful and frustrating to watch, I just can't wait to end it and just get over it. The plot twist became a stupid way to prolong the story instead of giving excitement I just wished it ended earlier, it just made my agony watching it longer. I really love mystery genre and also the new idea for fiction of being able to see smell so I'm putting that as a consideration but this doesn't really justify my expectations.The casts are pretty good except that I hate that the main lead is a bit exaggerating in every way possible. The emotions that I expected for the plot are not conveyed the way I expected it to be. I didn't even cry a bit all throughout the drama even though the story of it should be something a bit tragic. I didn't even get the point of making the female male lead a comedian and the male lead as an aquarist. It just doesn't match well with the whole story.
The songs used are not notable that I haven't even remember any songs from the drama although the sound effects inserted is very effective in setting the correct mood. Like for the comedic scenes, it somehow made me laugh.
I am not expecting to watch this again in the future. My curiosity about the turn out of events has been fed so that's enough for me. I don't even remember getting any lesson from it but at least it made my mind work by wondering what will be the ending.

Finally Found My Long-Lost Fave
Another blast from my tween years. Romantic Princess still hits that sweet spot of nostalgia and daydreams. I swear, it’s one of Wu Chun’s best shows (and Calvin Chen’s dimples? I simply cannot). Watching it again feels like being a tweenager all over, swooning over fictional princes and fairytale setups.Story-wise, it’s got that dreamy, delulu energy, very Meteor Garden or Boys Over Flowers-coded, with four boys and one main girl (though not everyone’s romantically involved). It’s cohesive, fun, and not too long, just the right balance of drama, fluff, and emotional pull. Everyone’s stubborn, sure, but their motivations make sense, and you can’t help but root for them.
I’ve rewatched this one too many times to go through it again soon, but it’s definitely a drama I’ll always treasure. Romantic Princess is one of those shows that stays in your heart, glitter and all.
📌 Watch this if you love nostalgic, fairytale-style dramas that make you feel like a lovestruck tween all over again.

To be honest, I'm not even sure what I've just watched
I saw this in passing on Netflix's Top 5 movie for a couple of days and it intrigued me specially seeing Ma DongSeok and Kim HyunSoo (from her role as the young FL on My Love From The Star) plus it's just an hour watch so it's pretty short and I watched it. I didn't know that 1-hour would take me 2 days to finish this movie.I literally fell asleep in the middle of it so I finished it the following day and I was just completely lost. I don't know where the plot is going or what even happened after I finish. There might be people who really loves this movie but I know this is not my cup of tea. A good take-away with this is that now, I wanted to watch other Kim HyunSoo and Ma DongSeok's movies/dramas.

Park NaRae says it all. Her hilarious sexcapade and relationships
I've seen NaRae on several variety shows and I know her as one of the known comedians in the industry. She's usually liberated and doesn't really filter her comments which is one of her charms really. She was able to show her personality well on this stand-up special where she said it all although it's a bit Rated X.Some of her jokes were really funny. Some are so-so but overall I enjoyed watching this. Some people who are sensitive about sexual jokes can pass on this one as NaRae shared a lot of dirty things about her past experiences. It's still decent enough though and it was fun. If you're a fan of NaRae's humor, definitely watch this.

Must you get revenge? Regardless of the price?
That was one hell of a ride action and revenge story. I didn't expect that I'd love this series as much as I do after watching it. So here are the list of things I love about this series.1. The complex yet simple and not-so complicated plot. Genres that falls under dark categories like revenge, crimes, killing etc. usually have this extra grand oh-so complicated plot that eventually lose me midway because the story became too complicated and there's a lot going on making it hard for me to focus on it until I lose my interest. However, My Name consistently got me from start to end. I have something to look forward every episode that kept me engage and emotionally invested.
2. The depth of the characters. I love the action scenes but more than that, one of the biggest factor for me to love something is to be able to understand it well. Do I understand both the protagonist and antagonist? Based on how they are presented, do their decisions made sense? Was it believable? My Name was able to answer all that for me with a Yes. It was all thanks to the good writing.
3. The casts. Good writing matched with excellent execution of the casts really made this an incredible work of art. Park HeeSun was a very convincing Choi MooJin that exudes that power as drug ring leader while also being a person that can be sentimental. Han SoHee as a daughter who lost her father and is willing to do anything even destroying herself in the name of revenge. I love how she portrayed JiWoo with that aura of a girl whose determination can surpass anything with an innocent face that hints being naive and just someone who's just hurt. There were lots of other notable characters and I believe that they made this series an outstanding one.
4. The breath-taking action scenes paired with excellent background music. There were tons of actions scenes in this drama, be it knives, guns or fist fighting. It was thrilling to watch it really. I am not an expert on action choreography however as an average person who seldom watches action genres, it was executed nicely. It doesn't feel exaggerated or out of sync. I notice that the BG music that was used was also mostly modern which gives off kind of EDM-like vibe. I almost hold my breath everytime an action scene comes on. I was even clapping like crazy while watching it.
Overall, I really recommend this drama. This really has blown my mind more than I expected and it made reflect a lot about life. It's a kind of series that leaves a big impact on you even after watching it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Is this about apocalypse, corruption, judgement day, monsters or what? I seriously don't know
People have mixed feedback about this so if you liked this drama, I completely respect your preference however this review might not be for you. It's all my opinion so read at your own risk.I don't know where to start how this is problematic for me. I don't have much expectations when I started watching it because it's not really the type of drama that I prefer to watch. I'm just seriously curious as to where the plot will lead me and maybe it's an unexpected gem.
During the first episode, I just thought maybe it's a slowburn drama wherein everything will make sense as I go further but I finished the drama and not much luck on it to be honest. I just seriously finished it because I don't want another pending drama on my watchlist.
Kudos to the actors though. I can see that they gave their all so I appreciate that. Maybe this drama is just really not my style. The ending also makes me feel like, 'what? Seriously they're expecting to drag this crap further?'
If you're thinking of watching this, it's just a 6 episode watch so why not see for yourself. You might like this more than I did. But if you're someone who loves watching series that makes sense, you can skip this one.

Are you ready to time travel and be the Queen?
It's been awhile since I watched historical dramas because it's mostly all about political power play and it's usually long and boring for the most parts so when I heard about Mr. Queen (belatedly because I don't really watch on-going dramas) the plot immediately got me interested. I was never disappointed. It was very interesting and fun and the story is not that complicated, it's straightforward and linear. There were some twists every now and then that will surprise you and I loved the story from start to finish.Shin HyeSun might look like she's overreacting but for me I felt like her portrayal as the Queen with Jang BongHwan inside is pretty much incredible. Even without Choi JinHyuk's over voice I can still feel his character as a man trapped in the Queens body. Her portrayal of BongHwan and SoYoung is distinct that you'll know exactly who is who. Thumbs up for the great acting. It goes the same for most of the characters, their chemistry is exceptional. They are fun and bubbly. They really made me enjoy the show from start to finish.
Overall, the plot is very reasonable. I didn't feel bothered by how it ended unlike most dramas do and I really love the OST too. If you haven't seen a historical drama in a while, I really recommend this. It's a relaxing ride of fun, tears and many more.
**changed my rating from 9 to 10. After the 2nd watch, it is much much better than I used to think

Robot-human romance drama that will give you the feels and chills
Sci-fi romance drama that earned lot of internal screams from me. I love how exciting the story was made and it was very consistent from beginning to end unlike other dramas that will catch your interest in the first few episodes and fails you towards the end.I wasn't really expecting anything much on this drama since everything seems normal, even the female lead is a new face to me. I was just really hooked with the plot premise of an AI and human love story and I keep getting anxious on what kind of ending this drama will give me. Thankfully, it didn't disappoint me at all.
If there's something that I really loved on this drama, it was Kang SeoJoon's praise-worthy portrayal of jerk NamShin and NamShin3. There was this look on this face that I didn't confuse the two of them. As soon as I saw his expression on the screen, I know for sure if he's jerk NamShin or the robot NamShin3 which is not an easy feat for any actors/actresses. The female lead is kinda so-so for me. The first few episodes gave a bad impression of her for me. The other supporting leads actually made the plot more interesting making you wonder on which side are they leaning.
The first few episodes setting is so picturesque. I'm not sure though if they really did the shoot on Czech Republic. I just love the ambience I guess. Even the houses featured emit different attitudes.
Overall, this drama is pretty much average but the consistency made me love this drama. It keeps my interest going without failing me. I didn't need to binge-watch the drama to appreciate it because it's easy to pick up where the episode ended. This is definitely a recommended drama for me.
P.S: I edited the rating because I realized how much I loved this drama because I kept thinking about it even if it's been months since I watched it. I keep singing it's OST as well.

One of the best comedic sitcoms you'll ever watch
This is a wholesome drama from comedy to romance to melodrama to thriller. Name a genre and it will appear on one of the episodes.It is one of the best comedy drama I've watched because everything is natural. The jokes doesn't seem too forceful either. Every episode is like a story within a story. What I loved about it the most is that it doesn't require you to binge-watch it to appreciate it. You can watch an episode with a light heart and a good laugh then be productive and watch another episode at a later time because each episode is already a complete story. Every episode together creates a wonderful big picture but it lets you appreciate
and savor each detail of it. It's not all laugh and fun because there were lots of touching and romantic episode as well among the characters. The nonsensical events adds to the comedic atmosphere but if you really analyze it, the plot is quite simple and can be seen on most dramas but how it was presented is so unique and refreshing.
The characters on the story are all insane and having these unique kind of people on one place creates the funny vibe of the whole drama. Their relationship with one another is just unbelievable but at the same time you'll find yourself wanting to have a group of friends like them. Always loud and outgoing through ups and downs.
The casts were equally good for me because all of them made their characters come to life. It was as if I was with them in Waikiki all the time. Although the situations are ridiculously absurd, it really feels real. Although, I must admit that YiKyung's acting shined in this drama since he actually made most of the funny scenes and there were lots of side stories coming from his character.
If you just want to cheer up and watch a light drama, this is actually the best. An episode a day will keep your worries away.

KBS Drama Special 2014: Middle School Student A
1 people found this review helpful
Bite-size story of school life, bullying and a pinch of romance on one roller coaster of emotions
I really love this drama special for various reasons. The story line is very simple and that's the beauty of it. The message here is direct and that's why the simple plot made it more effective and relatable. It tackles school bullying and the pressure of students towards their grades and ranking. Obsession about numbers forced upon by the adults that takes the fun of being a student and a youth.The casts were really effective. They breathed the youth on their character and it's just awesome. This 1-hour episode made me feel the emotions along with the characters like the romance, the pressure, the pain also the loneliness of the leads. If you wanna find out more, check it out. It's really worth the time.
I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I do because I might really watch it again since it's really daeeebaaaak!!!

Messier, Chaotic... Diamond 6
Bitch X Rich Season 2 takes everything from the first season and turns the chaos up a notch. The characters are wilder, the stakes are higher, and the conflicts become much messier with more people getting tangled in the web. Just when I thought I had everyone figured out, the drama reminded me that in this world, trust is a luxury.One of my favorite things about this season is that it keeps playing with the characters' moral gray areas. I was constantly questioning who's genuinely a friend, who's just pretending, and who's about to pull the rug from under everyone. It made every interaction feel unpredictable, and I loved that lingering uncertainty throughout the story.
What really made the season satisfying, though, was the ending. It felt like everything came full circle, especially for the main lead. Watching her finally confront her biggest fear and choose to do the right thing made her character development feel earned. It wraps up in a way that leaves you feeling rewarded for sticking through all the twists, lies, and shifting alliances.

Welcome to Cheongdam International High School
I’m officially back in my crime thriller era, and Bitch X Rich reminded me exactly why I love this genre so much. The premise hooked me almost immediately, and despite being a fairly short drama, it packs a surprising amount of mystery, suspense, and twists into every episode. It kept me guessing the entire time, and I genuinely didn't see some of the reveals coming.What I enjoyed most is how the characters live in that beautiful gray area I always gravitate toward. Nobody is purely good or purely evil. The protagonist isn't your typical goody two-shoes. She makes questionable decisions, gets messy, and somehow you still find yourself rooting for her. The antagonist, despite being an absolute menace, isn't reduced to just being "the bad guy." You slowly realize there's more beneath the surface, and that moral ambiguity makes the story so much more engaging. Half the fun was constantly asking myself, "Are they an ally... or are they about to stab someone in the back?"
For such a compact series, Bitch X Rich never felt rushed. It managed to juggle multiple twists, shifting loyalties, and layered characters without losing momentum. If you're into crime thrillers where everyone's motives are questionable and every episode leaves you second-guessing your theories, this is definitely one I'd recommend.

Do you believe in magic?
The Sound of Magic was definitely a unique experience for me. The magical atmosphere and deeper message were beautiful, but I'll admit, I couldn't help giggling whenever a serious conversation suddenly turned into a musical number. That's more on me than the drama though. I rarely watch musicals outside of animated films, so it took some getting used to. Once I embraced the genre, I found myself appreciating what it was trying to do.The story carries a meaningful message about dreams, growing up, and the realities of life, but I wish the pacing had been more balanced. It felt like a slow burn for the first half, then suddenly sprinted to the finish line. For a six-episode series, there were surprisingly many storylines to juggle, which made some of the subplots feel a little underdeveloped. I would've loved to spend more time understanding each character because they all had stories worth exploring.
And can we talk about Ji Chang Wook? The man is an absolute scene stealer. I genuinely had moments where I forgot to pay attention to the plot because I was too busy wondering why he had to be that handsome. 😂 Despite my tiny musical culture shock and the rushed ending, I still had a great time watching it. It's a nice weekend binge if you're looking for something different, heartfelt, and just a little bit magical.

Delivered successfully...
Special Delivery was a pretty enjoyable watch from start to finish. The premise is interesting enough to keep things moving, and the action scenes are slick, entertaining, and easy to get invested in. I also loved having a strong female lead at the center of the story. She carries the film well and brings the right amount of toughness and charisma to make the ride worthwhile.That said, this isn't the kind of movie that completely blows your mind or leaves a lasting emotional impact. The story does its job, the action delivers, and the pacing keeps things engaging, but it doesn't necessarily offer anything groundbreaking. It's one of those films where you'll have a good time while watching, but you might struggle to recall the finer details a few months later.
Overall, I'd still say it's worth the watch. If you're looking for a straightforward action thriller with cool fight scenes, chase sequences, and a capable female lead kicking butt, Special Delivery delivers exactly what it promises. Sometimes that's all a movie needs to do.
