Me Too, Flower!, a romantic comedy that does a lot of good!
Me Too, Flower! is a good drama. I enjoy this drama. To begin with, I really appreciate the cause that Bong Sun champions. Indeed, the wage gap between men and women is unequal, and this is why she speaks out. However, it is unfortunate that as the episodes progress, this aspect, which I find very interesting, is not further explored. Regarding the characters, the duo of Bong Sun and Jae Hee, played by Lee Ji Ah and Yoon Si Yoon, is adorable. Falling in love due to disputes is quite uncommon. Moreover, a special mention to actress Lee Ji Ah, who is MAGNIFICENT; I just learned about her personal life. As for the OST, it matches the atmosphere of the drama well. Overall, this drama is a pleasure to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Spy, a spy drama that turns into a drama
Spy is a good drama. Overall, I like this drama, with a hint of City Hunter and Healer, but not as good. Indeed, the plot is not developed and it is especially poorly exploited with the mixtures of romance, family affairs, political issues and especially action. Even if the events follow one another quite quickly, all of the elements mentioned above lack naturalness and credibility. Concerning the characters, the duo Sun Woo and Yoon Jin, played by Kim Jae Joong and Ko Sung Hee, is cute but nothing more. Despite everything, I became attached to the other characters, namely Jo Su Yeon (Chae Su Bin) and No Eun Ah (Ryu Hye Young). In terms of the OST, it fits well with the atmosphere of the drama. In short, it is a disappointment and there is a way to do much better and more ambitious things.Was this review helpful to you?
A Beautiful Mind, a drama that mixes inspiration, medicine and romance
A Beautiful Mind is a drama that I like. Indeed, this drama is loosely inspired by Mary Shelley's very famous novel Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus. Before talking about the characters, I would first like to talk about the inspiration for Frankenstein. First of all, when we say Frankenstein, we always think of a creature with a cylindrical head, a cylindrical morphology, a very thick forehead, bolts in the neck and a body covered in stitches. However, in the drama, this is not the case at all and it is completely redesigned. However, it is a shame that over the episodes they turn towards an excessive romance, embodied by the duo Young Oh and Jin Seong, played by Jang Hyeok and Park So Dam. I still recognize that the actor Jang Hyeok plays his role very well. Otherwise, I got attached to the other character, namely Kim Min Jae (Park Se Young). In terms of the OST, they correspond well to the romantic atmosphere of the drama. In short, I'm disappointed because with less romance, the drama would have been much better to follow.Was this review helpful to you?
Rooftop Prince, a drama that will make you laugh with its crazy situations!
Rooftop Prince is a very successful drama. The plot is very well developed, especially why the four protagonists find themselves teleported to a world they don't know. Concerning the teleported characters, knowing nothing about the modern world, they will have to adapt to this new life, helped by Park Ha. It is through this adaptation that each situation is extremely funny and moving at the end, although sometimes uncomfortable. The acting of these characters is very well played even if there are some scenes that are overplayed. Otherwise, I also got attached to the other character, namely Becky (Guzal Tursunova), except Se Na (Jeong Yu Mi), who is unbearable at the beginning of the drama but who improves later. I much prefer her ancestor, Princess Hwa Yong. In terms of the OST, it corresponds very well to the comic atmosphere of the drama. In short, it is a very good drama that is very offbeat!Was this review helpful to you?

Death Note (2015), a sober but successful drama
As a fan of the *Death Note* anime, I’m pleasantly surprised by this drama adaptation. The actors portray their characters well, and the story is faithfully retold, despite a few small inconsistencies and some creative liberties taken with the plot. Speaking of characters: Some characters don’t appear in the drama, like Naomi Misora, Kiyomi Takada, Mihael Keehl (Mello) — whom I’ll discuss more later — Halle Bullook (Hal Linder), and Mail Jeevas (Matt). Most of these are secondary characters, so I don’t find their absence too bothersome. Another important point, why is Near portrayed as a female, played by Mio Yuki, with a dual personality that includes Mello, when both characters are male in the original? Overall, this drama has nothing to envy of the anime, even though it’s shorter.Was this review helpful to you?
Playful Kiss, disappointment
Playful Kiss remains somewhat mixed for me. Indeed, this drama revolves around two main characters, namely Sung Jo and Ha Ni. Unfortunately, both characters were a disappointment in my opinion. On one hand, there's Sung Jo, the handsome and intelligent one, but also cold and arrogant. On the other hand, there's Ha Ni, the girl who tries to win Sung Jo's heart but comes off as clumsy and overly clingy. It frustrates me how they continually act stubbornly and fail to grow throughout the episodes.Overall, I just didn't enjoy the story and their personalities, despite the strong performances by the actors Kim Hyun Joon and Jung So Min, although occasionally they seemed a bit exaggerated. Despite being new to Korean dramas, besides the two actors mentioned above, I did notice some talented actors and actresses like Lee Tae Sung, whose funny scenes stood out, Lee Si Young, and Abigail Alderete. The OST appropriately matches the romantic ambiance of the drama.

Goblin, a drama that brilliantly blends fantasy, romance, and humor.
Overall, this drama is excellent and the one that most moved me throughout the entire drama. Before talking about the characters, I'd like to talk about the title Goblin. First of all, when you say Goblin, you always think of a green-skinned creature, small in stature, and long ears. However, in the drama, this isn't the case at all, and it's completely reimagined. I love the addition of multiple mythologies into one drama (the Goblin, the Reaper, and a human who sees ghosts), which makes the story cohesive, offbeat, funny, touching, and, above all, very interesting!Regarding the characters, the duo Shin and Eun Tak, played by Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun, is one of the drama's biggest strengths. Actor Gong Yoo is SENSATIONAL and is one of my favorites, both as an actor and in the drama. Besides, the twelve-year age gap between the two actors/actress didn't bother me either. I really like the second couple duo, the Reaper and Sunny, played by Lee Dong Woo and Yoo in Na. Otherwise, I became attached to the other characters, namely Deok Hwa (Sung Jae), Sam Sin (Lee El) and the Queen of Goryeo/Sin's sister (Kim So Hyun). Regarding the OST, I love "Stay With Me" and they perfectly match the atmosphere of the drama. Everything you need to definitely love it! In short, it's an excellent drama that deserves its popularity worldwide.

Hwarang, a drama that takes us on a journey into Korea's past
Hwarang is a very good drama and one of my big favorites of 2016! I was able to watch this drama because it has V. We also find in this cast of renowned people such as Park Seo Jun or Minho of SHINee. Unfortunately, the casting is not everything. The number of clichés is numerous, in particular the classic love triangle and there are some scenes, some funny and tragic, which are overplayed. Even if the events follow one another quite quickly, all of the elements mentioned above lack naturalness and credibility, with long slow-motion scenes, breaking the rhythm several times. On the other hand, I really like the *Hanbok* that the Hwarang wears. Concerning the characters, I love Ah Ro, played by Go Ara who is MAGNIFICENT and she is one of the favorites as an actress, with her sublime clear eyes and in the drama. Otherwise, I became attached to the other character, namely Princess Suk Myeong (Seo Ye Ji). In terms of the OST, it fits very well with the feudal atmosphere of the drama. In short, despite the flaws, it is a pleasant drama to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Descendants of the Sun, a masterpiece of a drama that left its mark on me
Descendants of the Sun is an excellent drama and one that gives me the most emotion throughout the drama. It's a pleasure that the drama took the risk of filming somewhere other than South Korea, in this case Greece and that the production team spent a month. And it's very successful since most of the drama takes place in Uruk to film the biggest scenes, between the fight scenes, the love stories and the spectacular earthquake!Concerning the characters, the duo Si Jin and Mo Yeon, played by Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo, is one of the biggest highlights of the drama. They are so close that they form the most glamorous couple, all drama combined. Other important points, the actor and actress Song Joong Ki and Song Kye Kyo are SENSATIONAL and they are one of my favorites as an actress then in the drama. The fact that Song Joong Ki has just returned from his military service also gives credibility to his character and the fight scenes. I also love the second couple duo, Dae Young and Yoon Myeong Ju, played by Jin Gu and Kim Ji Won. Otherwise, I also got attached to the other characters, namely Lee Chi Hun (Onew), Agus (David McInnis) and some guests who appear in only one episode, notably the group Red Velvet. In terms of the OST, I really liked “Talk Love”, “Fly With The Wind” and “Once Again”, which perfectly match the atmosphere of the drama. Everything you need to definitely love it! In short, it's an excellent drama that deserves its popularity around the world.

The Village: Achiara's Secret, a drama that explores the depths of a peaceful place
The Village: Achiara's Secret is one of my best dramas that I have seen! Overall, this drama is excellent and gives me the most emotion throughout the drama. The themes are serious and make us think about these subjects like all the facets of the human being, including denial, greed, jealousy, lies and abuse of power.The cliffhanger between each episode is unbearable since each character is suspected, which is quite destabilizing. The psychological side is very well developed and it makes you think. This is also why I have the syndrome of the English teacher or the officer who tries to find the suspect in each episode. The events then follow one another quite quickly. Concerning the characters, I love Professor So Yun, played by Moon Geun-Young. Although I knew her before the drama, she is MAGNIFICENT and she is one of my favorites as an actress and in the drama. As for the officer, Wu Jae, played by Sung Jae, acts as the “clown on duty”. Special mention for Yoon Ji Sook, played by Sin Eun Gyeong, who is excellent! In terms of the OST, they play a key role in the atmosphere of this kind of drama. Everything you need to definitely love it! In short, it’s pure happiness but unfortunately, I find it too little known.

Healer, a drama that won my heart
Healer is an excellent drama and one that gives me the most emotion throughout the drama. With a little air of the drama City Hunter, the plot is very well developed with the mixes of romances, family affairs, betrayals and especially action. The latter is also remarkable since the fight scenes are really epic and even memorable. It is also thanks to the latter that I was fully into the drama. The events then follow one another quite quickly.Concerning the characters, the duo Jeong Hu/Healer and Yeong Sin, played by Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young, is one of the biggest highlights of the drama. The actor Ji Chang Wook is SENSATIONAL and he is one of the big favorites as an actor and in the drama! As for Park Min Young, she confirms that she is still an excellent actress! Otherwise, I also got attached to the other character, namely Mun Hon (Yu Ji Tae). In terms of the OST, it perfectly matches the atmosphere of the drama. Everything you need to definitely love it!

Kill Me, Heal Me: how the drama intricately explores the complexity of the human mind
Kill Me, Heal Me is an outstanding drama and one of my top favorites of 2015! This drama is excellent and brings out the most emotions in me throughout the series. The plot is very well-developed, especially regarding the origin of Do Hyun's illness. How can a man born into a wealthy family develop such a rare syndrome? That's the central question that the drama sets out to solve. As for the main character, Do Hyun, played by Park Ji Sung, his acting is INCREDIBLE! Being able to portray seven personalities without missing a beat and maintaining each personality consistently throughout the episodes without getting lost is SENSATIONAL, making each episode incredibly endearing and funny! He’s one of my favorite actors and stands out in this drama. I also got attached to all the other characters, including Ri Jin (Hwang Jung Eum), Ri On (Park Seo Joon), Han Chae Yeon (Kim Yoo Ri), and some guest appearances, particularly Heo Sook Hee (Kim Seul Gi), who appears in a few episodes. The OST perfectly matches the comedic vibe of the drama, giving it everything it needs to be truly lovable! In short, it's an excellent drama with a unique twist!Was this review helpful to you?
City Hunter, my first love for a K-Drama
City Hunter is an excellent drama that evokes the most emotions in me throughout the entire show. The plot is very well-developed, and the fight scenes are truly epic, even memorable. The events then unfold quite rapidly. As for the characters, the duo of Yun Seong and Na Na, portrayed by Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young, is one of the drama's biggest strengths! They are so in sync that they form the most glamorous couple across all dramas. Another important point is that both Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young are SENSATIONAL, and they are among my absolute favorites as actors, especially in this drama! I also grew attached to other characters, namely Choi Da Hye (Goo Hara) and Jin Se Hee (Hwang Seo Hee). The OST perfectly matches the drama's atmosphere. Everything about it makes me absolutely love it! In short, it was my first love that led me to watch other Korean dramas.Was this review helpful to you?
The Legend of the Blue Sea, a romantic and fantastical journey
The Legend of the Blue Sea is an excellent drama! Overall, this drama is excellent! It's a pleasure that the drama took the risk of filming elsewhere than South Korea, namely on the island of Palau, in the Pacific, and in Spain. It's very successful! The plot is very well developed, with a mix of romance, fantasy, comedy, and cliffhangers. As for the characters, the duo of Joon Jae/Kim Dam Ryeong and Cheong, played by Lee Min Ho and Gianna Jun/Jun Ji Hyun, is one of the drama's biggest strengths. Actress Gianna Jun is MAGNIFICENT and is one of my favorites, both as an actress and in the drama! As for Lee Min Ho, he confirms that he's still an excellent actor! Besides, the six-year age gap between the two actors/actresses didn't bother me either. Otherwise, I also became attached to the other characters, namely Si Ah (Shin Hye Sun), Tae Oh (Shin Won Ho) and some guests who appear in only one episode, notably the flight attendant Mun Ji (Kristal) and the young mermaid (Kim Seul Gi). In terms of the OST, it perfectly matches the atmosphere of the drama. Everything you need to definitely love it. In short, it's pure happiness!Was this review helpful to you?
