The acting was very good by everyone especially the leads. Yoon Shi Yoon really has improved from Baker King. I really liked that his character was actually nice and innocent which is a switch from our regular arrogant male leads. Lee Ji Ah played her character very well but I never came to like her character, which is probably the reason I didn’t love the show. I liked the supporting characters they added some fun.
The OST was really good. Ill be sure to put most of the songs on my ipod to listen to=)
This drama is rewatchable but I'm not interested in watching again cause I didn't like the main female character at all!
Overall this is just another predictable watch to pass the time.

Story- has the most hilarious script ever! I don’t know how many times I cried from the laughter because it really is just too much. The plot is pretty average being that nothing really happens outside of them working in an office and the romances that develop. It does get a bit dramatic in some of the episodes. The ending was perfect=)
Acting/Cast- Perfect casting! I seriously loved not only the 4 leads but the supporting characters as well. Wang Ji Hye was awesome as Ice Cream. I'm a new fan of hers, Ji Sung, and JaeJoong.
Music- I liked 3 songs from the OST enough to put them on my ipod. Some of the other songs fit the scenes but weren’t memorable to me.
Rewatch- Id watch this once a year for the laughs and b/c I loved the characters so much.
Overall Protect the Boss isn’t perfect by far, but it has just the right amount of entertainment. That, along with the awesome cast, makes it a romantic comedy that will be remembered for a long time to come.

The story was just really fun. I laughed a lot and even shed a tear close to the end. Each ep is fresh because it has its own storyline while keeping the big picture in mind.
The acting wasn't spectacular but I think the girls did a pretty good job in thier roles. They kept the spirit of the sailor girls in tact!
The music was pretty catchy but the only thing I didn't like is the actual singing. Thier voices are horrendous LOL.
I'll rewatch this but a long time from now.
Overall, they did a pretty good job of capturing the greatness that is sailor moon. It was nice to relive my childhood=D

Story- It took a couple of episodes before I became interested in it. I liked the comedy and felt the plot started to get really interesting towards the latter half. I didn’t like the ending it just wasn’t my type of ending. It just left me with a bitter taste.
Acting/Cast- The acting by Han Ji Min was flawless and she delivered many powerful scenes. Yu Chun really impressed me with his acting. With that being said, I think the casting for these 2 leads could have been better. They didn’t have any chemistry, which totally put a damper on the romance. It wasn’t believable to me. One of them needed to be replaced in my opinion. As for the actors that played our villains Tae Mu & Sena, they did a fantastic job! Their characters were scary but needed. I liked the rest of the supporting cast a lot.
Music- Lovely and powerful in the emotional scenes and when the scene was funny it matched well. I liked the OST for the drama but its not something ill remember outside of watching it.
Rewatch- I wont be watching it again just because the OTP couple didn’t have any chemistry and I wasn’t satisfied by the ending. Although Im sure many others who liked it might find it rewatchable.
Overall Rooftop Prince is hilarious and moving but I think casting of leads who had chemistry would had made this drama a lot more enjoyable and memorable.

Story- The first thing I have to say is it was just too long! If it was like 15-16 eps long it would have been a lot more enjoyable. Even individual episodes feel sooo long. The only thing I liked about it was the romance. I liked that it was straightforward and even though there were outsiders trying to complicate things for the couple their feelings never wavered. With that being said, the actual plot/or lack there was where I had an issue. After episode 10 I kept on having the urge to skip scenes and even episodes but I held on till episode 19. After that, I skipped to the last episode. At least the ending was nice. Really though an office setting is not the way to go unless you manage to make it where actual events are taking place and the audience isn’t just watching people work in an office and having conversations for almost 25 eps.
Acting/Cast- The casting was very good as the leads had good chemistry and the ensemble cast meshed pretty well. When it comes to the acting by the leads, I felt like Roy kind of had to hold Alice Ke’s hand. Alice Ke’s acting was passable but her lack of emotions during important scenes was disappointing. Their were angsty scenes especially towards the end but I just didn’t care because I felt like Shen Xing Ren didn’t care. As for the supporting actors, it was a mix bag meaning some actors overacted, and some good.
Music- I really liked most of the OST. Some songs were upbeat and made the drama fun and some were angsty but memorable.
Rewatch- I just don’t think I have it in me to watch this again.
Overall this only needs to be watched if you’re a Roy Chiu fan and you have a lot of patience.

Story: The plot had good pacing and twists that made it hard to get bored. The romance was minimal but I kind of expected it due to that being the writers’ style. I think the story lacked more wackiness. I was expecting more laughs, which we didn’t get. I loved the ending!!
Acting/Cast: I don’t know what it is but I haven’t liked any Kang Ji Hwan led dramas. His characters always end up pissing me off in some way. However, he is a solid actor and he pulled off his character well in this. He also had a subtle but cute chemistry with Hwang Jung Eum, who I think needs to change it up because I feel like this character is something shes played before (and the hair!). Her character though wasn’t really incorporated into the plot very well. It felt like she was just there in the background as the token love interest. Because of that, I think it was hard for me to connect with her character. The two characters whom I found most interesting and I sympathized with happened to be the villains. Oh Yoon Ah and Park Sang Min were perfect. As for the supporting characters, there were just too many of them and took away from the mains screen time. The overall chemistry of the cast could have been better in my opinion.
Music: Kind of disappointed cause I loved the Salaryman OST, but in this the music was barely used in a way it would be memorable.
Rewatch: Its rewatchable because of the engaging story but Im not interested in seeing it again just because I didn’t love the characters.
Final thoughts: Didn’t hate it or love it. I dont really think this drama will be memorable in the future for me.

Story: It was well written and well paced. It never got draggy and once the revenge started each episode got more and more addicting. There was a major twist thrown in towards the last half in which you wouldn’t think was possible but it makes the drama more exciting. The weakest part though was the romance. Its not a focal point as the writers focus more on dysfunctional family relationships and revenge. I also didn’t like the ending at all. It pissed me off in many ways!
Acting/Cast: Both Joo Ji Hoon and Ji Chang Wook showed different sides in the characters they played. I wouldn’t have recognized them from their past characters that Ive seen. Really big props to JCW though cause his villain was super believable. The actress that plays the mother deserves an award because although she plays the main villain throughout, from the beginning to the end I always had sympathy for her. She did many unforgivable things and yet I just wanted her to seek forgiveness and live a happy life. As for Jin Se Yun, Im just going to say it: it was a big mistake to cast her. I know their was a lot of controversy cause she was replacing the girl from T-ARA but even then, she just did not fit the role of Hong Da Mi and she had zero chemistry with both male leads, which made the romance pointless to me. I thought the supporting cast was perfect.
Music: Lovely classical music being this is a classical themed drama. It was also intense at times and really made scenes more exciting.
Rewatch: Although I didn’t like the ending at all and was disappointed in the romance, I wouldn’t mind watching this again sometime in the distant future.
Overall if you like family melos such as Baker King and Can You Hear My Heart than you should add Five Fingers to your list.

Story: So the synopsis is way misleading. Each week I waited for the forbidden romance to develop and there was none! The story is really about a young female who finds out there is a secret surrounding her birth and we get to see how she deals with it and how it affects her family. As a family drama it was good but I was just disappointed because this was not the story I was looking for. The ending was kind of blah.
Acting: The female lead actress did an excellent job. She made Rei feel real. As for the male lead, he was okay but I thought his character really didn’t contribute anything to story and I would have been okay if his character was cut out. In fact, Nakamura Aoi probably should have been billed as the male lead because he had a more intresting storyline and he had chemistry with the female lead. I liked the actors who played Rei’s family. Kaname Jun who i have seen in a lot of dramas did a super job playing the antagonist in this. I felt really sorry for his character in the end...
Music: Adele's radio hits. While good, im sick of hearing them since they play it on the radio all the tme.
Rewatch: Im not interested in watching this kind of story again.
Overall Iki mo Dekinai Natsu is a solid family drama if thats what your looking for but nothing thats too memorable.

Story- Predictable yet so engaging that you won't want to stop watching by the end of it. The cooking theme was done so well that even though you watch them do the same things every day it is fascinating and not repetitive. The romance was perfectly done because it wasn't so intense/messy but it wasn't simple/without conflict.
Acting/Cast- The leads are known to be amazing actors already but they were perfectly casted because of their amazing chemistry. I fell in love with the entire supporting cast.
Music- The first time I watched this I didn't notice the OST but the second time I watched it I downloaded all the songs to my Ipod. I listen to the songs all the time now.
Rewatch- Already watched it twice in the same year and I'll continue to do so.
Overall Pasta gives no surprises but it really is fascinating and with the awesome cast and OST it really is the whole package.

Acting/Cast- Lee Min Jung is my new favorite actress. She played Jungin so perfectly. She knew how to be annoying but cute at the same time. The guy that played Hyunsu was so cute and funny. The supporting cast are brilliant actors! They know how to play funny and also be dramatic/emotional. Can\''\''t say enough good things about them.
Music- Beautiful score. The OST is awesome! I love all the songs they used. Def. going on my ipod=D
Rewatch- Although most would find a 45 ep drama hard to rewatch, this drama was so entertaining Id watch it again.
Overall- This drama is so entertaining and the cast is magnificent. Don\''\''t miss out on this masterpiece of a drama!

The plot is well written and paced; straight up police themed. It does have a love-line, but it just consists of sparingly scenes sprinkled throughout. The story itself is something I've seen too many times in American crime drama shows so it made it hard to keep watching cause I got bored.
The acting by the leads was exceptional as to be expected, their huge acting talents in the movie world. Their chemistry was just right for their character types. I wasnt really captivated by the supporting characters so I didnt feel attach to them.
Overall if you like crime/police themed shows you might appreciate H.I.T. more than I did.

Story: The first couple episodes were really funny but once they do get to the vineyard, it kind of becomes repetitive because all they do is fight while learning to farm on the vineyard. I would have also liked to see a bit more romantic development earlier on instead of their whole relationship being squished into the last episode. I will say that it did have one of the best endings ive seen that will surely make anyone leave the drama with a smile.
Acting/Cast: If you never heard of Oh Man Suk (watch Whats Up! Now) don’t not give this a try like I did for a while. He is an underrated actor. I loved his pairing with Eun Hye(who everyone knows is a great actress). They had the perfect chemistry and they were just too cute together especially at the end. As for supporting, I really didn’t notice them.
Music: I liked it for the drama, very funky and hip for that time.
Rewatch: I wasn’t that into the story so I probably wont be watching this again but I think some people might want to.
Overall this is a light must watch for the OTP.
