One point shy from a Masterpiece!! What can I say about this drama other than the fact, Please jtBC, make more of them!! The acting was superb!! Jung Kyung Ho as Baksa did an excellent, excellent job!! Yoon Hyun Min, don't worry, I will NEVER, NEVER forget your name!! A new love for my drama life!! The ending was even as I expected. Son Chang Min as Min, again I will never forget his portrayal. But let's not forget Kim Yoo Mi as Jin Sook and Choi Moo Sung as Safari. I have never seen either of these actors before but it will be LONG, LONG time before I ever forget them again. The cinematography, while dark a lot of time, really fit the story. And I must give BIG props to the costumers for the men and especially for Jin Sook! I don't think there was even ONE outfit she wore that I DIDN'T wish I could find and where. There were a couple of characters who just dropped off of the screen without any explanation but that would be my only complaint. But let's give a hand to our Nine Lives player, Meth Kim!!

Also known as Sacred Monsters is an interesting story. I learned a lot as I watch this drama. The fact that surrogacy birth is illegal in Japan was a fascinating tidbit of information to me. From start to finish, the story follows Shiba Kengo played Okada Masaki, a young intern who is dragged into a conspiracy to hid the fact of the surrogacy birth but also the events that transpired as a result of the birth. First time seeing Okada but he played the character well. Kasugai Yuka played Nakatani Miki, the nurse and sister of Fuga Keiko played by Kato Ai. Yuka was simply a sister willing to go to all lengths to protect her sister and her secret; a secret not totally known to the sister who is truly the second victim in all of this. A victim because she is so desperate to have a child after losing her own. This drama is definitely a mix of suspense and intrigue with a little bit of medical play. If you like these type of genres, you'll like this but if you are looking for romance, this is not one....at all.

As much of a supernatural/crime/mystery fan I am, I really didn't like this. The beginning threw in a scene without any full explanation. Cheo Yong character and his ability was never explained. It starts out giving you the impression of one type of story but then it morphs into stories as the title suggests. I think it would have been more effective had it stayed that way. There were some really good stories that were here and there. Other times, I couldn't begin to tell you what the episode was about. And the final 2 episode had so much going, you had to sift through to understand. But be assured, at the end, you still have no clue why Cheo Yong is the way he is. Some people may like this but if I have to spend too much time trying understand the last hour, it's not worth the time. Season 2, I officially quit you.

Sweet, cute and sometimes funny as HELL!! I enjoyed this tremendous;y. I hardly watch HS dramas but as usual, I always enjoy the Japanese ones. The sexual innuendo, jokes and humor were definitely something that you would see in a Japanese drama. This was my first experience with both Kiriyama Renn (Arata) and Nishiuchi Mariya (Nika). Hard to believe that she really was only 17 at the time. That's another thing about most of the japanese dramas; they have actors playing their ages. Once in awhile, they might have one or two playing younger characters but their portrayal is totally believable. I had a great time watching this. Plus top it off with short ep of 30 minutes, you can finish this in one sitting. I will also remember Jinnai Sho as Hirota. Talk about an ultimate player!

Only a science fiction fan would love and appreciate this drama! So if you are expecting anything else, stop watching! I absolutely loved this! As a fan of the drama, it had every aspect that us SciFi fans would be looking for; intrigue, lies, freaky characters and a story that you can follow. All is revealed as the episodes are watched. Again, if you are expecting romance, forget this! This was a SciFi fans freaking dream come true! My appreciation and love for Toda Erika has increase ten fold. It started with Liar Game and continues with this series! Kase Ryo as Sebumi-san; you now have a new fan!!

Everybody dies?! Damn near! Oh man! That’s why I love Singaporean movies! They are filled with stunts galore, great acting, superb special effects and a story line you may never see again! The multi-story fight between two buildings? AWESOME!! Andy Lau is the King!! I just love this man! This was my first introduction to Gordon Lam as I’ve never seen him before as well as Ray Lui as the head bad guy. This movie definitely shows you the best (and the worst) of police work. The theme of “At any cost” is prevalent in this story. It was well told, filmed and acted. I really cannot say more. No, another movie not for everyone but if you like a decent Singapore movie, try it; you’ll like it.

Oh my goodness! I just LOVED this! From beginning to end! Yonekura Ryoko now has a new fan and I want to see everything she has done. As Michiko, she was fierce and totally in control!! I loved how every procedure was explained with a diagram of the body and depicted whatever type of surgery that was being performed. I loved the rest of cast; some I've seen in other supporting roles. This is probably my 3rd Japanese medical drama but I have to say, this one was the most impressive!! Here's hoping they do a season 2. BTW, my girl cannot dance but she looks DAMN good trying!!

This is a drama that really is hard to rate. Why? Simply because I was never crazy about the lead female, Mio. She drove me crazy. Her brother, Kazu, was wishy-washy but if if look at the fact that they portrayed those characters as they should have, they were great. I loved the little Doctor You had to suspend belief that someone so young could be a heart surgeon but then I've pretty much have gotten used to that in JDramas that I've watched. The story was nicely done in showing a young woman with an illness wanting to see her brother for possibly the last time. As far as the end, still contemplating that. But one thing has bothered me. Why was this the first time in 10 years that she had seen her brother?
