No Tail to Tell is an unique and funny k-drama. It mostly consists of nice romance, comedy and fantasy but balances it out with some very appreciated emotional scenes where the cast’s skill really gets to shine.

Kang Si Yeol and Eun Ho make such a cute couple and their romance was definitely the highlight of the show. And even while alone Eun Ho was so cute but caring at the same time. She carries the innocent vibe and the sweet smile just makes you happy lol.

CHAERYEONG OST YAYAYA! My favorite song from the soundtrack and I love it so much! Very happy that Chaeryeong (my bias-wrecker in ITZY) got to sing another OST!

Then I need to yap about Geum Ho. She is my favorite character, carrying this super cute and innocent look! She was insanely cute but also pulled off the cool look during episode 12. She is so my type, she looked amazing the whole show and really made the k-drama even better!

Could have been better:

The first episodes were not that enjoyable, but then episode four was peak and it continued steady and nice.
Some parts, especially the first episodes and the first half of the last episode, were pretty messy and confusing.

When it comes to the characters, I was annoyed by Kang Si Yeol’s egocentrism in the first episodes, but he soon got better. Eun Ho really got on my nerves during the second half of the series though. While Kang Si Yeol tried to adapt to their current situation, Eun Ho mostly thought about herself and for example chose to sell Kang Si Yeol’s air conditioner (without asking for permission or checking the worth of the product) instead of just selling all the very expensive dresses she owned and didn’t wear.

A bit disappointed to not see how Geum Ho ended up and if she got her happy ending after becoming a Geumiho. I would also have liked an explanation for why she looked the same as Eun Ho’s old friend, why did the Heavens decide that?

A legislative and emotional masterpiece

Beyond the Bar has a deep and intriguing plot, mixing many different emotions and struggles with daily life and the legislative system. The relationships that developed between the lead characters and also between the second leads were so cute and lovely even though they ended up differently. One of my favorite things with Beyond the Bar is the very creatively but still pretty realistically written cases.

Shout-out to episode four, it was one of the best k-drama episodes I’ve ever watched and I loved every single detail.

The second leads were amazing and my favorite characters after Kang Hyo Min. I love how they after chasing each other (well mostly Jin Woo chasing Min Jeong lol) came to their senses and married each other.

I really appreciated all the small details, for example how episode 9 ended with Yoon Seuk Hoon looking at Kang Hyo Min and episode 10 ending the opposite! It really brought the storyline to a new level.

I love how they ended with Yoon Seuk Hoon saying “Love is…” and then they showed the pictures summarizing the episode, which all showed different types of love.

Could have been better: Some parts of the storyline were messy and made sense later on, but it was still a bit irritating to have to wait for the next episode to maybe understand.

The first episodes I really enjoyed the absence of romance, but the second half of the show could have needed some romance between the ML and FL. At least I hoped to get some romance between them in the last episode, but I guess that was a message left to interpret by the viewers. In my delusional dream world Kang Hyo Min and Yoon Seuk Hoon would marry each other and then adopt Choi Ho Yeon’s younger sisters since the twins really seemed to like the ML and FL, Yoon Seuk Hoon in particular (and of course Hash too)!

Strongly recommend this k-drama to everybody, especially those seeking dramas focusing on law and normal life with less romance.

Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is a creative and odd fantasy movie. It is very different from what I usually watch, but I still really enjoyed it! While the beginning was a bit confusing and excessive, it swiftly became better and better and I ended up very enthralled! My only other complaint is that the CGI in some parts of the movie looked weird and felt off, but otherwise the movie was produced well.

JISOO JISOO JISOO! Tbh I watched the movie because of her and Ahn Hyo Seop. While I now see why she gets critized for her acting, I still enjoyed it pretty much. I'm looking forward to Boyfriend on Demand so much!

I also need to say that the dokkaebi was so cute and it was really nice seeing their moment with Kim Dok Ja!

Note: I haven't read the web novel but I want to do it now.

I truly recommend the movie if you want some action and a break from your usual life!

A short and thrilling fresh k-drama (SPOILERS!)

The Art of Sarah is a very thrilling drama. It leaves you hanging and excites you with several pretty major plot twists. I enjoyed the different quotes and Shin Hae Sun in red hair would honestly be reason enough for me to rewatch it, she looked spectacular.

Looking back at the reviews I wrote of each episode, I was in general very impressed by the story and intrigued by the acting and the details. . Also a small thing I noticed and enjoyed was the titles of each episode. They felt very fitting every time and added some extra to the series.

I find Shin Hae Sun’s acting very good and it was funny to see how calm Sarah stayed during the police questioning and overall during the whole series. Another thing I really enjoyed was how you, each episode, got to know more about one supporting character at a time and the parts being very detailed.

Could have been better: The end of the last episode was confusing to me. I usually don’t really consider the soundtrack to be that important but this time when listening through the OST compilation I was negatively surprised how bad it is compared to other dramas I’ve watched.

I enjoyed the first half of the drama more than the second half and I was very enthralled most of the time watching The Art of Sarah. The story felt very good and planned well, except for maybe the two last episodes which felt a bit rushed. I would have wanted to see more of Sarah bluffing and pretending to be Kim Mi Jeong.

Recommended!

Balancing romance, idol life and mystery - a masterpiece

Trying to make my review short, I'll include my main thoughts.

IDOL I is a very good drama consisting of mostly romance but also plenty of scenes with mystery. The acting was phenomenal in many cases and even though it had a pretty slow start it finished on top without any episode being boring or skip-worthy. My favorite thing about this drama is definitely the different perspective of idol life, how difficult and painful it can be to always have so many watching and judging you. Recommended to all k-pop fans and anybody who needs a great k-drama to watch!
Best episodes: 4 & 7
