Story: It’s a mix of Jdramas Tadashii Ouji no Tsukurikata, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, and Life. So nothing original about it but still enjoyable. I liked the idea of the 2 gender groups coming together to stop outsiders from ruining their schools reputation and trying to get them to shut down. I was hoping for a little more on the romance front but maybe they’ll be closure to the pairings in the movie sequel version.
Acting/Cast: The acting in this was pretty much a joke. No seriously I laughed in scenes that were supposed to be serious. The 2 female lead actresses made their characters come off as fake, robotic and sometimes creepy. The 2 male lead actors were a little better but one overacted while another underacted. It was really distracting when there will be scenes with both female and male idol groups all in one room and then you get random idols have one liners when you really should be focusing on the 4 leads. I feel like I didn’t connect with any of the main characters because you don’t really get to know each one.
Music: I liked the “Shake it Baby” theme song cause it was really catchy and makes me wanna dance. The other song I assume is by the girl idols and it matched the teeny angsty scenes.
Rewatch: I doubt I’ll watch this again just because the acting was really distracting.
Overall this is a typical school idol drama so don’t go into it expecting much.

This movie claims to be a romantic comedy and I feel like they didn’t fufill that. It wasn’t that hilarious nor was there real romance. Sure there were subtle funny scenes here and there but nothing that will make you fall out of your seat. As for romance, the couple goes on “dates” but its not identified as dates and their relationship really doesn’t get explored much. The ending was open-ended which I didn’t like. Still, the movie has enough going on to keep you from getting bored.
A positive I found was the lead actors. Their acting was natural and they had good chemistry.
Because I liked the lead actors I wouldn’t mind seeing this again because it wasn’t horribly boring but its not something I have to see right away.
Overall this movie is forgettable although worth a watch once.

Story- It’s very business oriented but has a lot of good light scenes thrown in here and there to keep it balanced. There are 2 romances. The first, is the romance between the main couple (Hu Ge & Tiffany Tang’s characters). The second, which is the sole reason I continued watching, is the romance between Roy Chiu & Stephy Qi’s characters. Their romance arc was sooo much fun to watch. Most of their scenes were funny and hot! I was kind of mad that they didn’t have a lot of scenes together though. I wish they took out all those boring meeting scenes and replaced them with more of Wei Xiao/Ye Rou! The synopsis hints to the fact that this is a sort of revenge drama but I thought it was kind of disappointing in that respect. It really only happens in the last 3 episodes but it was very quick and I was kind of confused with the outcome. I really liked the ending it was satisfying;)
Acting/Cast- I was really surprised by the acting. It was so much better than what I’ve seen in Taiwanese dramas. I liked that the characters were written with brains and are just very mature. I really thought the entire cast did a great job. The villains were villainy but I still felt sorry for them and didn’t want what was coming to them. The writers make you feel sympathetic for them.
Music- I really liked the score it fit the scenes beautifully. The OST was good but light.
Rewatch- I’d rewatch this again maybe 2 years from now.
Overall Unbeatable is a drama about overcoming whatever obstacles may come your way in both your professional and personal lives. I liked the life messages it sent out. If you ever feel like trying out a non historical mainland drama then I definitely would recommend this one.

Acting- The two leads had a cute chemistry. They didn't have a lot of emotional scenes so I cant judge thier acting skills. I really hated Lee Da Hee in this. She plays an awful villian. Shes better in her comedic roles.
Music- Average cheesy OST
Rewatch Value- You could probably watch it again when your bored and if you finished watching all the best dramas.
Overall- Cute but forgettable drama.

Acting/Cast. Everyone in this drama can act. Oh Ji Ho is funny as always and is the Korean Brad Pitt. The female lead is so likable even though her character is suppose to be unlikable. You root for her. The supporting female I despise. She is sooo annoying! The second male lead is a good actor but his looks make his rival role not believable. You def cannot compare him to Oh Ji Ho!!
Music- ordinary
Rewatch- Not rewatchable in my opinion.
Overall- A drama with potential so watch maybe the first 8 episodes than skip to the last 2 or 3 eps. Believe me you dont miss much...

Story: It definitely screams melodrama with the crazy antics of Kim So Yeon’s character. However, the news station setting kind of added a light atmosphere. For the romances, I’ll just say it, I found the first main couple’s relationship boring. All their romantic scenes should have been heart pounding and intense (this is a melodrama!) but yeah their relationship was too easy. In contrast, I adored the second main couples relationship and rooted for them to reconcile. Some surprises came out in the last 2 episodes that really made my head spin and then comes the bittersweet ending. Really for the most part, except for every now and then when Young Mi would do some kind of crazy act, I was a bit uninterested in what was going on. Although it did, have enough to keep me watching without getting bored.
Acting/Cast: Im going to start with the second leads because in my opinion they had more to work with. Kim So Yeon was perfect as the sometimes psychotic and mostly calculating Young Mi. You understand why she does the evil things she does and by the end will feel sympathy for her character. Her romantic partner played by an actor I had never heard of before, was also very good as the caring but naïve Woo Jin Oppa. Their chemistry was great and their messy/tragic relationship was the best thing about this show. As for Chae Rim, we all know she is a great actress, but her character was not one of my favorites. And the great Jang Dong Gun of today, was definitely not that great when this drama was made because his acting was very stiff with a lack of varying expressions. I also didn’t feel the chemistry between him and Chae Rim. I did enjoy the supporting characters in the news station so the casting for them was spot on.
Music: I didn’t like it but it seemed to fit the trend of melo music of that time.
Rewatch: I wasn’t that impressed the first time so I don’t see myself watching it again.
Overall I’d recommend this only if you’re a fan of the female leads like I was.

Story- The first 6 episodes were 10/10. They were comedy gold and the chemistry between LSY & LDW was off the charts. I looked forward to new eps each week with a passion. About the 8th episode is when my love for this show started to die. This is when the writers copped out and decided to use the “bringing back the ex gf” plot device. I REALLY hate when writers do this because it brings the quality of the drama down for me. That and the fact that the stalker storyline got dragged out for too long made it become just another average romantic comedy. Not unwatchable but nothing special either. That brings me to the romance part of this drama. In my opinion there was no romance in this and I don’t care what anybody says. Seriously we have to wait till all the way at the end for them to confess to each other and even kiss?! To me it seemed random because for more than ¾ of this drama MY was obsessed with Jessica’s character. Then all of the sudden he realizes “oh hey I think I really do like Eun Jae!” Sorry but that type of “romance” doesn’t interest me. This is not a romantic comedy as it seemed like a comedy/drama/thriller.
Acting/Cast- LSY is magnificent in her tomboyish role Eun Jae. Although I didn’t like the way the writers changed the character’s personality in the middle. I don’t like my characters to be pathetic and obsessed with some guy. It just turns me off. LDW is just an okay actor although I appreciated he had such a good chemistry with LSY. Loved the supporting cast and although most of their characters were oddballs or borderline psychotic they all pulled off their roles and made them believable. Just want to mention that Jessica did an okay job playing her lifeless/emotionless character. This is coming from an unbiased opinion as I didn’t really know who she was until they mentioned she was a member of Girls Generation=)
Music- The OST was memorable enough to put a couple of the songs on my ipod
Rewatch- I honestly don’t know if its worth my time to watch it a second time because I loved the cast but the story wasn’t impressive…
Overall Wild Romance is just another average romantic comedy but with an awesome cast. So watch once just for them.

Story: I actually think the writer had a solid plot. It’s a bit darker than what I expected but twisty stories are up my alley. The writer’s downfall is a slow moving plot. An episode count of 16 would have made for a fast paced plot. I loved the surprise ending!
Acting/Cast: Wow did Yoochun really impress! His character was my favorite in this drama and has made it in my top 5 favorite drama characters of all time. Yoon Eun Hye did not disappoint but the way her character was written didn’t sit well with me. Her character was too depressing and in the beginning really unlikable. Yoo Seung Ho was brilliant for being the youngest main actor, being able to keep up with the vets. As for the supporting they all did a great job.
Music: It was what you would expect from a melo but nothing memorable.
Rewatch: I would consider watching this again because of the ending and my love for Jung Woo, but not for a while because this drama was too depressing to watch.
Overall if you like melodramas with amazing acting and a good ending Id recommend this.

Story: Many would probably find the lack of a plot boring but I didn’t mind it after giving the drama a second chance. The writer just focuses on showcasing the lives of people in the drama industry. Its not about making dramas but what may go on in the lives of these characters and also how they interact with each other. There’s several romances, breakups and makeups which can be seen as realistic. I loved the ending it was perfect!!
Acting/Cast: This is an ensemble piece so even though you might be in it for the billed actors (Hyun Bin and Song Kye Hyo) you will come to love all the actors involved. The chemistry between everyone was soo good that you will become attached to all the characters and root for them. My only gripe is they could’ve showed more scenes of the Gyu Ho/ Hae Jin pairing. I also thought that Daniel Choi was a scene-stealer and his character was unlike anything ive seen him play.
Music: It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t memorable either.
Rewatch: Fast pacing, a great ensemble cast, and a nice ending make it very rewatchable but I don’t have to watch it again for a while.
Overall I think a more seasoned drama watcher or viewers who like mature/realistic stories will enjoy Worlds Within a lot.

Story- The first 2 episodes are entertaining and fun. However, plot wise they were a waste of space. The characters are not really introduced in the way they should be so you can get a feel for who each one is. After that you will find that once the story starts to stabilize it becomes just another predictable school drama with no substance. It really becomes just mindless watching. I didn’t like the way the romances were written and they just made the drama feel drawn out. Other than that, nothing really happens to keep your attention. The ending seemed just really lame and it made me super happy I did not waste my time and watch the rest of the episodes.
Acting/Cast- The acting wasn’t that bad actually. It wasn’t award winning or anything but everyone pretty much managed to make their characters watchable. I do have to say that I enjoyed watching both Ji Yeon and Jinwoon’s performances because they brought energy to their characters. Another thing I wanted to mention is they wrote in too many characters, which made the drama, seem all over the place at times. They should have focused on the core 6 and add in some characters here and there but I really didn’t like having to keep up with all these side characters. This time around I didn’t like most of the adult characters except for the former rocker principle and JYP’s character. My final thought on the casting is they could’ve done better.
Music- I loved DH 1’s OST so much I put it on my ipod straight away. Unfortunately I didn’t get the urge to do that this time around. Sure there were some catchy and memorable songs that fit the drama well but I only really liked 2 which doesn’t make this an OST I really have to listen to. That’s pretty disappointing considering this is a MUSIC themed drama.
Rewatch- Couldn’t finish it so Id pass on watching this again. I can just watch the frist one again.
Overall Dream High 2 tried too hard to live up to its predecessor coming in to the game with too much confidence and instead gives the audience a bitter taste and longing for the first one all the way throughout.

Story- Not bad but not amazing either. It was written enough to keep your attention till the end. That being said the way they wrote the romance was quite disappointing. It wouldn't be such a problem if the genre of this drama wasn't Romance. Let me warn you the romance doesnt begin till the last episode. And then your suppose to believe that its possible that they would want to get married? I'm sorry but I just wasn't impressed with the sill ending.
Acting/Cast- Good acting by everyone and I loved the leads together. I just wish their characters interacted more.
Music- Good Ost but nothing Id listen to outside the show.
Rewatch- Its rewatchable but Im not sure If I'd rewatch it or not, just because I was a bit disapointed with the story.
Overall Sweet Relationship is worth watching once.

Acting/Cast-First, I have to say I loved Kim Tae Hee in this. She really was believable as a Jockey. She had to play tough but still kept the pretty. I liked the male lead and they had a good chemistry for what thier relationship in the movie called for(still couldnt help picturing Song Sung Hyun in this role though as its my dream for him and KTH to do every movie/drama together from now on lol). I also wanted to mention the child actress. She was so good in her dramatic scenes and so cute to watch.
Music- The score was lovely. There was an original song that was kind of catchy and it sounded like it was KTH singing it.
Rewatch- This is a movie that can easily be watched again however since I didnt love the male lead Id probably wait a few years.
Overall this was an enjoyable watch.
