    Japanese Drama - 2022, 9 episodes

    9.0

    Completed: 17.04.2025

    Action, Mystery, Fantasy, Supernatural

    About self-sacrifice in the fight against evil.

    • Would you fight against evil if you knew it would inevitably devour you and eventually overwhelm you, causing you to become evil yourself? 
    • Would you fight against evil if you knew it would ultimately make you evil yourself?
    • Would you still choose to fight against evil if you knew that it would mean that in the end (if you became evil) you would be killed?


    After watching Yu Yu Hakusho, I was in the mood for a fantasy drama with action/ fighting scenes. I found the sword fighting very interesting. That was new to me.

    When I started watching this drama, I hadn't imagined it would deal with such profound philosophical decisions. It explores the question of what it means to fight against evil. In this story, it literally means self-sacrifice for the main lead. It moved me deeply.

    There are a lot of fighting scenes, it's about episodic case solving but with an overarching arc, It's dark and sad, but somehow hopeful and encouraging. A thought-provoking drama with a meaning behind it.

    Quotes

    "So long as humans exist, filth will remain." (Godo Shin, Ep. 9) - "Yes, malice resides within people. However, their hearts can be appeased. - (Osagami Kakeru, Ep. 9)

    „Nevertheless, even if another Blade of Filth were to appear, I’m sure „they“ will protect us. No, I know they will." (Ishidome Karen, Ep. 9)

  • The Art of Negotiation

    45. The Art of Negotiation

    Korean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes

    10

    Completed: 17.04.2025

    A Business drama about the work of a M&A team of the company Sanin Group and the story of its teamleader, who paves his way uncovering past events surrounding himself and his brother. 

    Yes, it's about business. It's about the takeover and purchase of a company by another company, the preparatory analyses (speaking of "due diligence") and negotiations and their impacts on both companies.

    Some might find it very dull and boring. It does indeed deal with complex economic and legal issues, and at times it may be difficult to follow the plot. On the other hand, it is very interesting and you can learn a lot.

    Furthermore it focusses on relationships between employees at different hierarchical levels, colleagues of the same age and different departments, subordinates and superiors, secretaries, relationships between team members and their team leader.

    But it also tells the story about a father and his daughter, about the daughter and her mother's overwhelming expectations and about meeting old school friends. 

    And it's about finding the truth. For yourself. For your family.

    The narrative feels slow, but still something interesting and important is always happening. It's not depressing, but it's not light and happy either. You can tell by the colouring or the soundtrack alone.

    I'm very glad, I watched it while airing. At first I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to follow the plot because I had to wait a week for the next episodes. But because of the business heavy topic a break was ideal. If I had binge watched it, I don't know if I would have had interest to stick with it, because it was sometimes overwhelming and tiring due to the plot. 

    Last but not least, it was surprisingly really funny and I laughed a lot ("dry humor"). 

    I am content with the ending. And then - the big great twist occured! 

    Oh that twist! Wow! Wonderful, beautiful. Perfect.

  • Usotoki Rhetoric

    46. Usotoki Rhetoric

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 11 episodes

    10

    Completed: 21.04.2025

    Historical, Mystery, Romance, Supernatural

    I was skeptical about what to expect. I'd never seen a Japanese historical drama before. But my worries were for nothing; as it turns out, it's now my absolute favorite drama!

    It's not just one of those sweet, fluffy, quirky, romantic dramas. It's much more than that. The romance is subtle and gentle. It's about friendship, perhaps friendly love, which can become more. A detective and his assistant (with a special ability) solve cases together. In the process, they get to know each other, learn to trust each other, and grow together.

    The relationship between Sensei and Kanoko is something truly special. It's tender, loving, gentle, and caring. The acting is remarkable, and I'll continue to follow both actors. The drama is like a warm blanket that wraps you around and protects you. What I particularly like, is that there's no stress, no anxiety. This drama is healing and wholesome in the truest sense of the word.

    Nothing bad happens to our protagonists. It’s calm and relaxing.

    But the plot is by no means boring. It shows how good communication and relationships can work. It deals with human fears and worries, but as well as friendship, cordiality, trust, and love (in the broadest sense).

    Made me laugh: yes

    Made my cry: yes

    Quote

    „The point is that I’m here to accept you, powers and all. I thought we should talk about it. You’ve been worried about how I feel, right? That I may be put off, knowing you’d see through my lies. I’ve never once thought your powers were simply useful, and without detriment. I recognize that if we stay together, there will be pros and cons to both the one hearing the lies, and the one knowing they’re being heard. But I don’t want you to worry on your own. Because you’re not alone, not anymore. We stay together, we worry about this together. I’m here to share the burden, okay?“, Ep. 3, Soma/ Sensei to Kanoko

  • The Reason We Fall in Love

    47. The Reason We Fall in Love

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes

    9.5

    Completed: 21.04.2025

    Office Romance, Comedy

    Sweet, lovely, modern romance drama which is about love relationships between colleagues at work. It's about falling in love, getting to know each other, love confessions and showing the relationship life and misunderstandings and challenges. But problems are fortunately solved quickly. 

    It's about three couples (maybe even four if you want) and each couple has approximately the same amount of narrative time, it is well balanced.

    What I like is, that in each episode the title of the drama "The Reason we fall in love" is taken up and some opinions and answers of our leads are given. 

    Made me laugh: yes

    Made me cry: no

    Quotes:

    „Only my heart, lost in love, wavers with uncertainty.“ - Morita Aoi, Ep. 2

    „Love between adults is difficult. You only get better at making excuses, leaving the important things left unsaid.“ - Kurosawa Tomonari, Ep. 2

    „Why am I so terrified  of being honest with myself?“ - Kurosawa Tomonari, Ep. 3

    „But you’re really just scared of stepping into someone’s life. Right? What are you trying to protect? You’re only reliving your mistakes.“ – Ichikawa Ayaka to Kurosawa, Ep. 3

    „It’s ridiculous to hold back on the things you like, because of what others may think. Life is much more fun if you focus on cherishing yourself.“ – Ozu Kei to Oshima Kei, Ep. 3

    Romance, kind of (?) workplace setting

    I liked the beginng more than the ending, in the last two episodes happened so much, I actually never really understood the "crime" plot and why "that" happened in the last episodes, I didn't feel chemistry or closeness between the main lead couple Tang Du Zhi and Wang Zhan, the story and relationship of the second main couple was somehow tiring/ arduous to watch, the funeral director/ company plot was interesting, so was the music aspect

    Would I recommend it someone, to watch? - Hm, not sure. Certainly not if it was someone's first Taiwanese (BL) drama. 

    Made me laugh: I'm not sure/ don't remember.

    Made me cry: no

    Nice funny movie, to have a good watch and good feeling afterwards. It could have been longer. The story certainly has potential as a drama. I wish some things had been expanded upon, but the movie didn't allow for that.

    It had funny, interesting moments. When there were only 10 minutes left, I wondered how they were going to finish it and I was worried. But they turned things around. The ending was a bit abruptly, but it was okay for me. 

    It was overall entertaining, and I really like the male main lead and his sincere and cheerful character.

    What a short sweet, delightful watch! When you have a bad day and would like to watch something short to lift your mood, this is for you. 

    Since it is a very short drama (about one hour in total) I didn't expect much, but I was pleasently surprised. It's almost better as a normal length series. It offers romantic moments, a lovely getting-to-know-each-other-and-getting-closer love story, a bit of "drama", even oh excitement and funny moments. 

    I loved the chemistry of the two main leads, the eye contacts, those little shy, flirty moments. I could feel everything. 

    The ending was satisfying for me, too. The drama leaves a warm, cozy feeling, a sigh and smile. Everthing you need to feel good. I loved it.

    After I've watched "Psychopath Diary" I looked up its recommendations and found this drama. The plot sounded really interesting! A detective and a murderer switch souls/ bodies?! Wow! 

    But somehow it was a dark topic for me and I had to pause it in between. 

    The story was never boring, the happenings, investigation etc. were captivating. 

    The acting performances of the ML and FL particularly stood out. If you want to know what good acting means, this is it! I found it fascinating how the characters changed after the body swap, damn, you could even tell by the expression in their eyes! Amazing!

    I also liked the supporting characters, I grew fond of Yamaki Hideo and Kawahara Mitsuo was great in his on way. The ending was satisfying for me.

    Made me cry: yes

    Made me laugh: yes

    The great soundtrack/ OST will stay in my memory for a while.

    Both MLs are great actors, I love dramas about the entertainment industry, it's good that this drama exists, I would watch a drama with the actors again. And I just love the poster of the drama!

    But somehow the emotions and the love story didn't reach me and didn't captivate me so much. I don't know why. I accept it as it is.

    I found the moments between Johnny and Naru interesting and would like to see how a story (?) about them would develop.

    Sport, Romcom

    I like the beginning and the middle more than the ending. Somehow I'm a bit disappointed about the ending. I would have liked it more if they had shown, how they renovated the gym together as a team with the other gym members. It would have been great if they had reopened it together at the end and they had a great party, together with everybody and even Roy. 

    I find their solution totally unrealistic. I mean, what is with the rain, wind and snow?! 

    Most of the time I liked the humor. I liked the running gag with "what the XY...". 

    I liked the couple of Mi Ran's sister and her boyfriend. They were so cute and lovely. I didn't understand their short break up though. I didn't get the reason?! I was so relieved that we finally found out the reason, why Mi Ran's exboyfriend broke up with her. I would have liked to know more about it. I would have given him even a love story, so there would have been three couples. 

    I enjoyed Alex as a supporting character a lot and find it a bit sad, that there was not much more story about him. I would like a drama about him! I loved the little relationship between Rosa and Roy. They had great chemistry and it was fun to watch.

    I didn't feel much chemistry between the ml and fl. Their romance story didn't excite me. But I'm not sad about this, because for me it wasn't that important. Their trainer and gym member relationship was significant for me. 

    From my point of view you don't watch this drama for the romance, but for the character development, the relationship between the main actors and the supporting characters, the humor and for the sport factor.

    Made me laugh: yes

    Noir, Dark, Action, Revenge

    It's a drama, where literally everyone wants to kill everyone. 

    When you watch this drama, you must be aware that it's brutal and bloody in a very extreme and explicit way. The (choreography of the) fighting scenes are impressive. Filming something like this must be incredibly difficult. 

    Some people write that there is little plot. I wonder what they watched (maybe only the fighting scenes?!), because there is a lot of happening. What I particularly liked was, that everyone had a motif. Every petty villain and every big villain had desires. 

    What surprised me is, that Lee Geum Son underestimated Nam Gi Jun and also that he didn't take into account, that he could be recorded when he told about his plan. But that's probably due to the plot. 

    What was it all about in the end? It was about obsession with power and those who suffer from it. I thought the confession in the end was wonderful. That it doesn't feel as great as expected. That there is a void. That it feels empty. That it's not respect and recognition, but it's fear. Perfect.

    The acting of Choo Young Woo remains in my memory. I already liked him in Trauma Code and You make me dance. It was refreshing to watch him in this drama as a villain. I'm looking forward to his future works! 

    Surprisingly it was funny! Not funny in the sense of comedic humor. But funny in the sense of a kind of amusement. For example in the last episode the look on the face of Choi Seong-Cheol when he told Lee Geum Son to disappear and he has to clean everything up. Ahh, great! Or the scene when Lee Geum Son calls Cha Seung-Won and asks him if he really thought he wouldn't find out that he killed his father. Wonderful to watch, how the villains finish each other off.

    And the end was really the end.

    Perfect. 

    Sweet, adorable, healing, wholesome drama. Progressing slowly but not boringly. It has grown on me. 

    At the beginning I didn't like the intro song. But then on one day suddenly it made "click" and I loooved it. It is so soothing. 

    The drama is like a warm blanket giving you a hug. I loved the chemistry between the two main leads and the second couple! I liked all the supporting characters. I loved the third couple, they were so cute. 

    It was a great feeling that there was almost no stress, no misunderstanding (or it was solved very soon). It was just them. Love flourishing. Healing , for the FL. 

    The ML: How can someone be so handsome?! This charisma!

    I looove the intro! Wow, how cute is this intro? I could just watch the intro and it would be enough. This alone gets 5 stars  from me.

    The beginning and middle was stronger than the ending. I wish the ending would have been more elaborated. Overall I was well entertained. 

    I liked the chemistry between the leads. I liked the character development of the second ML. From an unpleasent fellow to a funny friend. It was surprisingly really funny. I found the story about the trip to Japan and the reason interesting. I liked the snowy setting. But it was also somehow a little bit melancholy. I liked the food truck festival.

    I loved it! Heartfelt, thoughtful moments. Life lessons and love lessons. Funny moments. Male lead has grown on me. And after I got used to it, I liked the dynamic relationship between ml and fl. Having someone like that to talk to, is wonderful.

    The story about the sister got on my nerves a bit at some point. Overall it was very well done. I liked the narrative style. What do we learn from it? Communication is so important. Good, honest communication! Everyone perceives things differently. Does she like me? Does he like me?am I interpreting something into? Actually, everything is subjective. You should not judge others based on yourself. Easier said than done. And others don't decide what you should feel and how you should love.
