This should be more than 9/10!!!
i dont know why people keep rating shows biasly.if you watched trauma code, you would know the actress is very good. now combined with hae-in. what a show!
This show should be among the greats like Hometown chachacha, when the camelia blooms and others.
What i really liked from the beginning was the amnesia story taking them to the countryside. it was not the usual "FL get stired of the city" or "FL gets fired from her workplace" or "FL gets into a controversy and moves to the countryside".
Every thing done here is logical. even the romance is so fluffy and well matured
A very nice drama. Watch it, you wont be disappointed.

A Slow and Emotional Story About Love and Healing
I really enjoyed In Your Radiant Season. This is a slow story with complicated characters, and I liked that it took its time to reveal their past and explain why they became the people they are. Lee Sung Kyung and Chae Jong Hyeop were both wonderful, and their acting was probably one of the strongest parts of the drama for me. I also really liked the story itself, especially the connection between Ha Ran and Woo Chan and how their past slowly comes back into their lives. It was emotional enough to make me cry more than once, and some moments really stayed with me. My main problem was that there were simply too many coincidences connecting everyone and everything, and sometimes it felt a little too convenient. But I can forgive that because I cared about the characters and their story. And after everything they went through, I was very happy that the drama gave them a happy ending.Was this review helpful to you?
Not Every Male Lead Has to Be a Green Flag
I really liked Nevertheless. It's more provocative and messy than the usual romance drama, and that's actually one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much. Not every male lead has to be a perfect green flag, because people and relationships aren't always like that in real life. Song Kang's Park Jae Eon is full of red flags, and Yoo Na Bi knows it. She knows she should stay away from him, but she is attracted to him and simply can't resist going back. I completely understood her, even when I didn't agree with her choices. For me, that made her feel human rather than stupid or weak. Han So Hee and Song Kang also had amazing chemistry, which made their complicated relationship very believable. It's definitely not a healthy love story, but I don't need every drama to give me one. Sometimes I just want something messy, complicated and impossible to look away from.Was this review helpful to you?
Behind the Idol Image
Idol I was one of the first idol dramas I watched, so I think it will always have a special place in my heart. Choi Soo Young and Kim Jae Young were both wonderful, and I really felt that they gave everything to their roles. I loved their chemistry and the emotional moments between their characters. I also liked that this wasn't just a simple idol romance. The mix of mystery, law and romance made the story much more interesting, and I enjoyed seeing the person behind the idol image and some of the harder sides of that life. My only complaint is that I wanted more. Twelve episodes felt too short for these characters and their story. I would happily have watched a few more.Was this review helpful to you?
So Much More Than Just a Romance
I originally expected Pinocchio to be mainly a romance, but the journalism side of the story ended up being one of the things I liked most. I loved how it explored the power journalists have, how easily facts can be manipulated and how one story can completely destroy someone's life. Lee Jong Suk was excellent, especially in the more emotional parts of Dal Po's story, and I really enjoyed his chemistry with Park Shin Hye. Their relationship felt important without taking over everything else happening in the drama. The combination of romance, family, mystery and journalism worked really well for me, and the emotional parts had much more impact than I expected when I started it.Was this review helpful to you?
1Eh….
It’s not bad, but it’s not great either.The biggest downside for me was the pacing and the lack of suspense.
There’s a lot happening in this series that I found engaging, yet the pace feels incredibly slow. I’m not entirely sure why — maybe because I was expecting the kind of intense action that Season 1 offered. There are also so many plot threads that drift around for a long time before finally connecting.
Part of my dissatisfaction might come from the fact that after the first episode I rewatched the previous season (I barely remembered anything), liked it a lot, and then simply couldn’t connect with this one at all. Where was the suspense? The mystery? The story just drags on and on… and when you look back, not much of real substance actually happened.
Luckily, it really came alive for me in the last 20%. In fact, that final stretch was so good that I bumped the rating up a full star. I just wish the show had been that consistently wild the whole way through.
The romance didn’t work for me either — I honestly don’t see any real reason for it to be there.
On the upside, the cast is excellent, and I genuinely enjoyed the overall plot.
Just because it didn’t fully work for me the entire time doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. If you’re interested, I’d still encourage you to give it a try.

Medicine, Romance and Suspense My Kind of Mix
Doctor Stranger combines several things I really enjoy in one drama: medicine, romance, suspense and political intrigue. It can definitely become messy and overdramatic, but somehow that was part of the fun for me rather than something that ruined it. Lee Jong Suk was the biggest reason it worked so well. Park Hoon is brilliant but emotionally damaged, and I loved watching him switch between the confident doctor and the man carrying everything that had happened to him. The medical scenes kept me interested and the story rarely felt boring, even when it became completely crazy. It's not a perfect drama, but it was absolutely my kind of drama and one I remember very fondlyWas this review helpful to you?
Distinct enough in the beginning.
Honestly, i've read its novel and i'm greatly disappointed in how they adapted it. But I'll focus more on reviewing this drama alone without basing it on the novel.In my opinion, the plot alone was already more distinct than most dramas. More so the characters. The ML is a young emperor who strives to get a hold on his power and to fight for what he wants for a change. He was smart and determined. He knew his responsibility. And despite having feelings for FL, he didn't let his emotions sway him from what's more important.
FL is also a force. She's brave and smart but also reckless and impulsive. She's not perfect. No character was. And that was understandable from how she grew up and her past experiences.
Together, the two could be a power couple if done more correctly. If portrayed more in the script. I think it had lost its potential because they didn't get down that path. They didn't need to kill any of the supporting characters, for the leads alone already had a great impact if they just continued to shake the nation together about their romance.
This is the part i honestly believe they screwed up.
The political issues were intriguing enough that they didn't feel boring. The characters were portrayed so greatly that you would feel annoyed at them. That only means that the acting was very effective.
Okay. I'll give this an 8 because i still liked 2/3 of the drama. It could have been a 10 if they just... but they didn't. And despite everything, i don't care much about how obvious it was that their makeups aren't balanced or any of the cinematography. I like the costumes though.
And I'm more focused on the plot and character development, the entire story. That's all.

Loved It — Now Where Is Season 2?
This is exactly my kind of drama. Action, conspiracy, mystery, corruption and enough emotional moments to make me care about the characters rather than just the next action scene. Once I got into Vagabond, it became incredibly addictive. Lee Seung Gi was great, the action was exciting, and I really enjoyed his chemistry with Bae Suzy. I also liked that the story kept getting bigger and more complicated instead of becoming predictable halfway through. But that ending! I can accept an open ending when it fits the story, but this one practically screams for another season. I finished it thinking, "That's it?!" I loved the ride, but I'm still waiting for the rest of the story.Was this review helpful to you?
I Almost Forgot How Much I Like Lee Jun Young
I watched this mainly because of Lee Jun Young, and seeing him as such a horrible character was quite an experience. After watching him in completely different roles, I wasn't prepared for how convincing he would be as a villain. He made me genuinely hate his character, which is probably the biggest compliment I can give his performance. Shin Hye Sun was great too, and I loved seeing her in such a physical role. The movie doesn't try to be overly complicated — it's entertaining, satisfying and has plenty of action, which was exactly what I wanted from it.Was this review helpful to you?
Seo Kang Joon Was Absolutely Fantastic
The main reason this drama stayed with me is Seo Kang Joon's performance. Playing two characters who look exactly the same could easily become confusing or feel like the actor is simply changing his expression, but I never had that problem here. Human Nam Shin and Nam Shin III genuinely felt like two completely different "people". The way he changed his eyes, expressions, body language and even the feeling he gave off was fantastic. I also really enjoyed the unusual romance and the questions the drama raises about what actually makes someone human. The story isn't perfect, but Seo Kang Joon's performance alone made this memorable for me and is a huge reason for my 9.5/10.Was this review helpful to you?
Beautiful, Dark and Absolutely Heartbreaking
This drama destroyed me. I knew it wasn't going to be a light romance, but I still wasn't prepared for how emotionally attached I would become to these characters. The atmosphere is dark and uncomfortable at times, and the story constantly makes you question what you think you know about the characters. Seo In Guk was absolutely incredible. I've watched him in several dramas, but for me this is still one of his best performances. Kim Moo Young could have been impossible to understand or even like, yet somehow Seo In Guk made me care deeply about him. The chemistry and emotional connection between the leads made everything hurt even more. I cried so much after finishing this that this is definitely not a drama I'll ever forget.Was this review helpful to you?
Medical Drama at Full Speed
This was so much fun! I love medical dramas, but The Trauma Code adds enough action and comedy to make it feel completely different from the usual hospital series. It's fast, entertaining and ridiculously easy to binge. Ju Ji Hoon was fantastic as Baek Kang Hyuk - arrogant, brilliant, fearless and somehow incredibly likable at the same time. I loved watching the trauma team slowly come together and the relationships between the characters were just as enjoyable as the medical cases. The only real problem was that eight episodes were nowhere near enough. I finished it wanting much more of these characters, which is probably the best compliment I can give it.Was this review helpful to you?
The Revenge Was Worth the Wait
Part 2 gave me exactly what I wanted after everything the first part had built up. I was already completely invested in Dong Eun and her revenge, so watching all those pieces finally come together was extremely satisfying. Once again, Song Hye Kyo was fantastic, and I loved the quieter strength of her performance. Jung Sung Il remained one of my favorite discoveries from this drama, while Park Sung Hoon was disturbingly convincing. I still wasn't as impressed by Lim Ji Yeon as most viewers seem to be, but that's simply personal taste. Overall, both parts worked beautifully together and made The Glory one of the strongest revenge dramas I've watched.Was this review helpful to you?
Dark, Addictive and Brilliantly Acted
This is one of those dramas where the acting stayed with me just as much as the story. Song Hye Kyo was remarkable. I loved how controlled and quiet her performance was — she didn't need big dramatic scenes to make me feel everything her character had been through. Jung Sung Il was a complete discovery for me, and Park Sung Hoon was excellent, especially the confidence and arrogance he gave his character. Lim Ji Yeon's performance was the only one that didn't completely convince me; at times it felt a little too theatrical for my taste. But overall, The Glory was dark, gripping and incredibly well acted. I was completely invested in the revenge and needed to see how it would all end.Was this review helpful to you?
