Title To Sir, with Love
They wrote Tian like a damsel in distress character, always crying and in need of rescue. I wished he wasn’t so weak physically, even the maids could fight better. I did enjoy the brotherly bonding scenes. Yang’s devotion to his brother was my favorite part of the series.

Title Unintentional Love Story
I'm optimistic after watching 2 episodes, both couples have good chemistry! I'm a sucker for cool and detached main lead.

Title A League of Nobleman
I enjoyed the series overall and the tragically sad character of Shulin was very impressive. Wang Duo is definitely on my actor radar now. However, I did miss the comedy of the first half of the series. I would have been happy to see the 2 leads solve more mysteries together. The final episode's outgoing song made me want to watch the whole series again.

This show is hitting all my favorite themes: bromance, mystery and some supernatural elements! No wonder I can't stop watching

Title More than Words
It’s interesting we get no family backstory with Makio. It would make his odd relationship decision more understandable.

A nice companion film to Shoplifters. The director is a master at shining the light on the people who live on the fringes of Japanese society.

Title Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!: The Movie
It was fairly watchable based on the chemistry between the 2 leads, but I felt lacked some of the fun and humor of the series. A nice ending for the characters as well. Oddly lacking in intimate scenes, I wonder if the actors weren't comfortable with it??

Title Weak Hero Class 1
This drama is undeniably well acted and really draws you into the characters and story. But, I had to wonder "where are the responsible adults?" Almost every adult in this series was seen as incompetent, neglectful or corrupt. Just one capable adult person could have made a huge difference in the lives of these teenagers.

Title The King of Pigs Spoiler
This dark and definitely tragic series leaves a somewhat empty feeling for me. I just couldn't buy the JJS character twist in the end.

I was generally satisfied with the ending, they were able to wrap things up better than I expected. I also appreciated the hopeful tone left between the brothers.

Title The Examination for Everyone
I wonder if the show’s focus on the pandemic is turning off some viewers? The draconian lockdowns in China are certainly not portrayed accurately. Too bad since the family drama is really the heart of the show.

Title Blind
Is Sung Hoon supposed to be on the autism spectrum? Or is the actor just playing him that way. Seems like the popular Korean disability du jour. Addictive show so far!

Title The Examination for Everyone
I've watched 5 episodes and it's really well done, great ensemble acting. The pandemic is clearly going to be a main dramatic trigger. Already many tears shed here.

Ended up feeling kind of meh. It had all the ingredients of MRIAD but none of the charm. Also desperately lacked humor.

Title Moneyboys
I was a bit hesitant to start this film but it captured my attention with it's full scaled profile of a moneyboy "male prostitute". It was well acted by the entire cast and beautifully shot. I liked that it didn't shy away from the darker aspects of the life, the degradation in front of police and the shame in confronting your relatives, even though they do care about you. The main relationship that drew me in was between Fei and Long. It was Long who really seemed to break through Fei's barriers, with sheer determination and open heartedness. I loved his character. The film is almost 2 hours but it didn't feel too bloated. Highly recommended!

Hmmm.. Tol is such a jerk in ep 7. Starting to hope Tin and Rit get together (but doubt it).

This show deserves some props for showing realistic medical details of an emergency room. Didn't expect that at all.

Title Dear Doctor, I'm Coming for Soul
The writers have written Prakan into such an unbelievably naive character around death. He's supposed to be a well respected and talented surgeon? He acts worse than a first year medical student who has never seen death before.
