This is one of the best stories from the series. The characters had depth. I think the four episodes are enough because they were slightly hinted on the kiryu series. The male actor is really good looking. I think we can definitely say that he looks more thai with his features. The role of a serious, quiet but sweet and caring guy suits him best. I loved Minute as well, the actress played her part well, being spoiled, funny and genuinely good inside. I have watched this lots of times. I think the story will transcend not just to teens but to the adult population as well.

I watched this drama pretty late as if saying, it's 2017, but still enjoyed it a lot. This drama deffinetaly got up to my new favorite drama. Here are some things I would like to say about this drama.

Let's start with the characters we have to follow along in this drama.

Go Hye Mi, firstly I entered the world of Dream High with a huge hatred towards her, as her character was really cold and spoiled. But I musy say the actress did an amazing job at showing her emotions. Her character development was really interesting to watch. Of course me being biased at first, I had a tough time falling in love with her and let's be honest to the end, I still showed a lot of hatered toawrds her. But now as I have finished this drama 2 days ago, I can say she is actually my second favorite character. All that aside I can tell you this character is really interesting to follow along.

Song Sam Dong, I loved this really innocent boy from the very start. The character was actually really loveable all thro the drama, the story with him doesn't really change much, but what we do get is interesting. I don't have much else to say about Sam Dong without spoiling anything.

Yoo Baek Hee, don't get fooled by the sincere little HyeMi's follower in the start. This character was really annoying to follow a long in my opinion, but for those who love following along a story of a girl, who is blinded by fame and is getting extremely self-centered then this will be really interesting for you.

Jin Guk. As a character pretty annoying to watch as it always feels like he's switching from BaekHee to HyeMi all the time. That's not even a spoiler that is just something that will happen in every episode. I still to this day this his story was deffinetaly the most interesting to watch, as it included a lot of his past and the reason he's molding into the person he now is. This character is deffinetaly a tear jerker.

Jason. Jason really is as a side character. He is a main, but his presence is really rare and there was no back story what so ever. As because of that I don't have much to say about him, but if you love an arrogant little boy, you will deffinetally love him.

Pil Suk. My favorite character. This girl is the cutest human being you will ever see and her innocent presence was always like a new breath of fresh air. I don't have much to say even tho she is my favorite. all tho she didn't have much of a back-story she deffinetaly had a really interesting present time story.

The music in this drama was really good. I have to be honest I couldn't get ''Dream High'' out of my head for a day at least. Non of the songs were really boring as most of them had a really catchy tune and kept you wanting more.

If I wasn't an indecicive person, I would deffinetaly rewatch this. as it had so many interesting moments.

Taking that all in I deffinetaly recommend this drama to any ''school musical drama'' lover.

With most dramas you can judge if you'll like them by the first three episodes. Some even by the first episode. Introverted Boss is not one of them. With IB you have to definitely watch three or more episodes to understand what this drama is really about and in what direction it will go.

Story: IB has funny lines/situations where I couldn't stop laughing and everyone seeing me thought I was going insane. It also has some really touching drama episodes where I bawled my eyes out. The characters are amazingly charming (at least by ep 4 or 5) and I can tell you, the couples who will emerge over time will be so couply you will think you landed in a romance novel. It's sweet, cute and funny.
IB also presents an amazing amount of character development.
What I didn't like was the fact that they made some scenes and issues longer than they would need to be.

Acting/Cast: I would love to say they were perfect but there were some scenes where the acting seemed a little bit awkward. As for the chemistry of the cast: That was nice and seemed comfortable, so great job on the casting!

Music: I really love the music in this drama and I looked up ALL the songs I heard. I loved it and they used it at the best times.

Rewatch: Maybe some scenes but I don't think I will rewatch the whole drama anytime soon.

Overall: IB is strange at first, turns into funny and fluffy, into touching and heartbreaking and then offers a nice ending. Tbh they could've skipped episode 15 and most of episode 16 in my opinion. Although I liked the ending scene too much to be cut out (that's all I'm saying, no spoilers)

Fighter of the Destiny... one of my new favorite dramas! To be completely honest, I love this drama sooo much! Although, others say that this is a terrible drama, I believe different. I stayed up to 5 in the morning watching this drama because I loved it sooo much and I still only got to the 20th episode with 36 more left and that shows how much this drama affected me. I really loved the storyline because it was filled with joy, sadness, MANY conflicts, humor, an unbreakable friendship, romance, and heartwarming moments. The only negative thing about this drama is the props and background, many scenes looked extremely fake since a green screen can be clearly seen that it was used, but if you focus on the the drama itself, this drama is perfect! While watching this drama, you also learn many life morals and lessons and everything connects well together. All of the things in this drama makes it become one of the best dramas you will ever watch. Watching the main character struggle to fight his unlucky destiny, while recipeiving the help of the few who really love and believe him is a journey for the viewers as well! I hope that you watch this incredible drama and you will surely remember to thank me!????????????????

The plot description for The K2 is pretty much the most superficial you can say about this show. With this one, so many people seem to be disappointed by it...me...well, not so much. I liked it but I understand that it's not a show for everyone.

Story.
Story-wise...well, The K2 is complicated. Not easy complicated/dramatic like other dramas but there are so many plot twists and storylines that you will think the writers wrote every possible scenario for the show on a board and decided to include as many as possible. For me that was interesting because it wasn't about the same thing over and over. And let me assure you, most of the plotlines get an explanation at the end even if it may not seem so in the middle of the drama. This was definitely one of the few dramas, where I wasn't left unsatisfied at the end.

Acting/Cast.
Compliments to the whole cast especially all the leads. Their acting is so amazing that I totally forgot they were actors and didn't actually hate or despise each other in real life. Great job!!!
Here I also wanna talk about the characters...ha, I've never suffered from second lead syndrome...in this one though, I did for the first time. I also questioned my own morals, but you will probably get what I mean when you watch it yourself. This drama makes you question who to cheer for.

Music.
I speak German fluently so I noticed some dramatic choir songs with German lyrics in the background. Also there was this ending song. That's pretty much everything I remember for music. The K2 offers a lot of background sounds and songs which don't really count as a soundtrack and like 2 other songs which may be amazing but they are used...like 2 times in episodes and for the ending?

Rewatch?
The question mark is on purpose. I really enjoyed this drama. Dramatic enough to get hooked on it but not epic enough to fall into a drama slump after. Still, after watching I know I probably won't watch it again anytime soon. I know the story, I finished the ending and somehow I'm totally satisfied with that.

Overall.
Overall, The K2 is a drama for people who like soap operas with their drama / cool action scenes / good guys gone bad and the other way around or who like it dramatic. The K2 is NOT for people who just like action scenes, who are against people going crazy for love or who want to watch something fluffy and nice.

I hope I could help :D

STORY: Two gay friends attending a university together trying to find other gay guys to date. Wu Shuang crosses paths with a guy who makes his heart pound but decides to try to help Zhutou court him which ends up putting their friendship under test. NOTE: Happy Ending.

ACTING/CAST: The guys are cute and they do a decent job.

MUSIC: Well, a short Brokeback Mountain music clip, but this movie had huge sections with no background music whatsoever, and where it did have music, it was forgettable.

REWATCH VALUE: Probably not. Got too much else to watch.

OVERALL: Very SLOW PACED but worth watching once.

Naive, funny and lighthearted.

But only at the first glance. This web drama is about serious problem Korea (and believe me, other countries too) are facing - bullying. And if that problem is put in web drama, that means there's gonna be a lot of violence and other things that are not allowed to be shown on a TV. It's based on a web comic, so it's not for everyone, but I think JDrama and manga-based story lovers gonna like this one.

Story feels like it's been told from first person, the one experiencing bullying. Surviving high-school life full of violence, in search for your place in a society - you are ether part of a group or a loner. If you expect romance or bromance (and there is material for it), there is none. Humor is more Japanese-like, so it might not appeal to everyone. What I really liked is quotes before every episode. And this story definitely needs a sequel cos it's unfinished.

Kwak Dong Yeon is slowly becoming the King of web/mini drama specials (reason I started this drama). In my humble opinion he is one of the best young Korean actors. But I think all the actors did a good job here.

I can't say I'm impressed with music. :/

I rarely rewatch dramas, but this one is short, so if in the future there is a squeal, I'll watch it again.

Don't expect much from this drama, especially if you are not a fan of Japanese-like humor.

Touching and down-to-earth story just like its countryside settings.

Paparotti's story is pretty typical in every way – teacher-student relationship, birth of a great musician, gang member turn something great, and a few more. But, the movie is still so alive and sweet thanks to our two leads.

I love Lee Jehoon's character and his acting the most. His gestures, his dialect and the countless emotions he portrays are so real and most of the time so heart-wrenching even when he smiles. Casting him in here was the best decision of this entire production so far.

On the other hand, his character's backstory as a gang member doesn't speak to me much even though I love his bond with his boss Jo Jinwoong's character. This gang story felt repetitive and not a single twist was added for flavor, and it was a bit far-fetched for a countryside high school setting. I know it's based on a true story, but in real life, he wasn't a gang member but merely a school delinquent who beat up his friends. The movie could've been fine that way too.

I also wish it explores more into Han Seokkyu's background as a vocalist. So basically, the story focuses a lot on the bond between teacher and student without touching deep into any specific topic. In that light, it's a good story to watch on a lazy afternoon (with a box of tissue). Their teacher-student relationship was really sweet and gave me a lot of Gokusen vibe, and I always fall for stories of this kind.

The music lived up to its name for being a music movie. The comedy was okay. Overall it was a down-to-earth story that grew on me over 2 hours of its runtime instead of being so fancy and in-your-face from the start. I cried a lot and I'm still listening to "You're the Person Who Gave Me Happiness".

Excellent performance and the story is incredible unique. From the first "Hero", this is like the extension of the latest one. It is amazing that the two actresses from both Hero united. Keiko Kitawaga is the latest actress, starring in Hero.

Kohei Kuryu (Takuya Kimura) is a prosecutor at the Josai branch of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. He looks and thinks different from the other prosecutors. When he takes on a new case, he first goes to the scene of the incident and looks around with his own eyes. His unique habits as prosecutor has not changed over the past 13 years of his work.

Chika Asagi (Keiko Kitagawa) works as an assistant officer at the public prosecutor's office. She becomes influenced by Kohei Kuryu and grows as a person.

"Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru" is another title called "Beautiful Bones". An unique story written by Shiorita. It is a story of two unlikely partners, each showing in their own way that bones can tell how one died, but only people can tell how they lived. Sakurako Kuj is a genius beauty in her mid-twenties whose life is centred around one thing and one thing only: bones. With little tolerance for others, she would be completely isolated in her study full of skeletons if it weren’t for high school boy Shotaro—her new assistant and constant companion. Why exactly she has taken a shine to him remains a mystery, but one thing is clear: Whenever the two go out together, the chances are high that they will come across a human corpse. Excellent performance and story. Love the unique music.

Sakurako Kuj
She is a sharp-witted beautiful woman who comes from a prominent family and lives in a big old house with only a housekeeper as a companion. She has a hobby of collecting the bones of dead animals and reconstructing them. However, she is more interested in human remains. And with her being an osteologist, she also developed forensic skills from her uncle, a prominent forensic scientist in the prefecture, and has helped with many unsolved murders. She has a dislike for interpersonal relationships, although she has a fiance working with the Hokkaido Prefectural Police.

Shatar Tatewaki
He is a high school boy who assists Sakurako in her bone-digging expeditions. It so happens that they always find human remains in the process. He keeps Sakurako in check, as she tends to go crazy and try to keep the human remains for herself.
