Disappointing
I originally started this drama for the banter between Lee Dong Wook and Lee Kwang Soo, hoping it would bring some lighthearted fun and laughs. Unfortunately, it turned out to be quite disappointing, and I found myself watching it mostly in skip mode.Lee Jo Bin’s performance was underwhelming as well. Her portrayal of the victim didn’t feel convincing, which made it harder to connect with her character emotionally. On top of that, the divorce case storylines were repetitive, boring, and at times even frustrating.
Overall, the plot felt predictable and lacked the spark I was expecting. What could have been an engaging and entertaining drama ended up being a dull and disappointing watch.

-_-
This drama turned out to be quite disappointing - overly predictable and at times even ridiculous. The acting skills were lacking, and the constant overreactions made the performances exhausting, bordering on cringe-worthy.Honestly, the only reason I’m still watching is because I already started it, not because I’m genuinely enjoying it. It feels more like a commitment than entertainment at this point.
Overall, it’s not a series I would ever recommend.

Park Eun-Bin Shines Again in Castaway Diva
Castaway Diva was such a refreshing drama! The cast was amazing, and the chemistry between them felt so natural. It was truly beyond expectations—each episode was enjoyable without any unnecessary drama or cringeworthy moments. I especially loved the part where the main lead tried to disappear but was found within hours—it showed such realism.The way pure, innocent love was portrayed in this drama was beautiful. The main lead’s genuine intentions and unwavering care for her were exceptional—I think anyone would wish for that kind of love. I also appreciated that the brother didn’t create any jealousy or unnecessary conflict, and how the drama highlighted that love from a stepfather can be just as strong as that of a biological parent.
Overall, this drama was perfect. I’m still listening to the soundtrack, and once again, Park Eun-Bin proved what an incredible actress she is.

Honestly, this is probably the second-best Chinese drama I’ve watched after "The Best Thing".*Acting & Characters:
The lead actor did an excellent job, his expressions and performance felt very natural. He convincingly portrayed both the innocence of a student and the maturity of an adult, which really enhanced the storytelling.
*Storyline:
The plot starts with the expectation that a second chance at life would allow the characters to completely turn things around. However, the twist at the end was refreshing and thought-provoking. Instead of simply erasing past mistakes, the drama highlights how those errors become part of us—baggage that shapes our future. This perspective gave the story more depth and emotional weight.
*Overall Impression:
The drama beautifully balances pure love with meaningful life lessons. It’s heartfelt, engaging, and leaves you reflecting even after it ends.
I would 100% recommend this drama—and I’ll probably rewatch it again!

Even with a Darker Edge
The long-awaited Season 3 of Taxi Driver is finally here, and it does not disappoint. The new storylines are captivating and keep you engaged, but I would say that Seasons 1 and 2 were more elaborated and tightly written overall.One noticeable shift in Season 3 is its darker tone. This time, revenge often leads to killing, which marks a clear departure from the earlier seasons. In Seasons 1 and 2, killing was never the end goal—the motto was justice through revenge without taking lives. When an assailant did die, it was usually accidental. This moral change may not sit well with everyone and slightly alters the core identity of the show.
That said, the acting remains strong and highly entertaining, which is one of the series’ biggest strengths. The soundtrack and OST, however, could use some improvement compared to previous seasons.
Overall, despite its darker direction and a few shortcomings, I still genuinely enjoy watching Taxi Driver 3 and look forward to seeing how the story continues.

One of the best action drama
I really enjoyed watching Study Group. It was such a well-balanced series—full of suspense, humor, and surprisingly thoughtful references that kept me engaged from start to finish. What stood out most was how consistent it was; there wasn’t a single episode that felt dull or like filler.The action scenes, in particular, were outstanding. They were sharp, dynamic, and added an exciting layer that made the story even more gripping. At the same time, the lighthearted moments and clever touches of humor gave the show a nice balance, so it never felt too heavy.
Overall, it’s a series I would definitely recommend, both for its entertainment value and the way it blends action, comedy, and meaningful themes so seamlessly.

The chemistry between the leads was another highlight for me. Their interactions felt natural, and the styling really added to the overall atmosphere.
On top of that, I found myself fascinated by how the drama wove elements of Chinese medicine into the story. It gave the series an extra layer of depth and cultural richness that I really enjoyed.
Overall, it was not just entertaining but also aesthetically and thematically satisfying.

ung Kyung Ho’s acting once again exceeds expectations. He is endlessly entertaining, and it genuinely feels like he consistently chooses thoughtful scripts that carry meaningful lessons—something I truly admire about his career choices.I’m absolutely loving every case he takes on as an attorney in the Pro Bono team. His character is sharp, witty, and incredibly charming, bringing warmth and positivity to every episode. He has a natural ability to make even the most serious cases engaging, emotional, and enjoyable to watch.
Overall, Jung Kyung Ho completely shines in Pro Bono. His performance is the heart of the show and the main reason it’s such a fun, rewarding, and satisfying watch.
