i liked it! cute feel good drama about hairdressing, it does what it says its gonna do. some characters (ZEN.) were annoying at times and i barely cared about the main romance plot but most of the episodes plots were interesting and they gave us Mr. Woo and Kwangsoo which raised it up by at least 0.5 stars for me.

WORST DRAMA OF JANUARY

looks around nervously... the budget was clearly not there so i expected the plot to carry but it was quite mediocre at best. top it off with a barebones romance and some random fanservice moments and its a miss for me. mightve given it a higher rating if it was longer.

nothing much to write home about. cute office romance drama who benefited from the fact that Yamada Ryosuke is so entertaining to watch, as well as Ohashi Kazuya but thats because im biased towards him. the FL did well considering the role she had, although she grew on me as the drama went on.

BEST DRAMA OF JANUARY

possibly the oldest drama ill ever watch... you can tell how old it is during the first episodes and the plot is quite confusing and at times messy. all the issues i had with the show thankfully get resolved sometime during the middle and its a HIT from that point on woah i was so invested.

oh wow... not only does it feel older than the main show despite being released 3 decades later, it feels super cheap with its stock footage usage, i wouldve been mad if i paid to watch this. story itself was fine, but felt fanmade at times.

WORST DRAMA OF FEBRUARY

this one... i got the point it was trying to pass across, but i didnt manage to connect with the characters much which just made me want to get the drama over with. overall, there aren't any actually bad points and i do see the appeal, even if it didnt reach me.

criminally underrated! (like most jdramas in this site...) the budget was there and the story was intriguing although at times i did forget most of the side characters. the scandal going on throughout the show's airing probably impacted it in various ways and a second season might not ever come unless they change up the casting but heres to hoping i suppose...!

spin-off of caster which is right above this one. it's 10 minutes and doesn't do much in order to not affect the main show, nothing memorable about it except from a few "romance-y" scenes and figuring out saya's secret.

a comedy drama with mystery sprinkled on top. depending on the reason you watch this drama your outcome will be completely different. thankfully, i just watched since the premise seemed interesting without many expectations and it turned out to be a fun drama, although its premise turned out quite repetitive towards the end.

BEST DRAMA OF FEBRUARY

wayy too low of an average rating for this one imo. each episode focusing on a different athlete and sport was quite fun, specially for sports that are less present in most dramas or media. story itself is fine, although it has a few issues that are pointed out on the drama's comments. also slightly unrelated, but the casting for this was amazing, so many actors i recognized, the budget was there!

it's a cute slice of life drama that definitely hits harder depending on the society you are a part of. overall, the main point they try to come across is that regardless of your occupation you can be a good parent for your children. fujioka is soo fine

i fear i almost dropped this one actually! the first few episodes were just suchhh a drag for some reason but after that it picked itself right back up. also, dori was spotted and i wanna watch more dramas with him in it.
