I'm glad I watched
While the story isn't a masterpiece by any means, 'Feel Good To Die' did two things perfectly: their characters and comedy. This was the first ever K-Drama to make me laugh out loud - in fact I laughed out loud multiple times watching this, so if you're in need in watching something funny, look no further. Another really strong thing going for 'Feel Good To Die' is their amazing OST, which by the end is so catchy and memorable that I instantly recognised the rhythms, melody, flow etc.There were a few issues, the main issue being the pacing. Some episodes felt really quick and were enjoyable to watch, yet others were a drag to watch and were boring. Thankfully though, the 'boring' episodes were only a few, and were mainly towards the start. (Re-watch value for me is normally quite low anyways so a 4 here isn't the best, but isn't too terrible).
The character of Baek Jin Sang (early version especially) was perhaps the craziest lunatic character I've seen ever, which was a delight to watch.
In short: I recommend this to anyone who likes a good time-loop drama like myself, or who wants to laugh.
Enjoy!

Simply Lovely
As someone who hadn't watched the trailer before the release and wasn't too sure of the concept when reading the synopsis, Move to Heaven is one of the greatest surprises I have ever had. The story was simply a masterpiece, thought-provoking and makes you really think about life - which I love to think about. I also love the different characters, and how they are with one another. The acting was great, apart from a couple of scenes, but nothing major here. The OST wasn't too noticeable but instead I felt was used very appropriately to hype up suspense or mystery (another great choice here). The re-watch value is high due to the fact that there are only 10 episodes, which some only lasting about 45 minutes (but only feel like 20 minutes or so!).I highly suggest that you watch Move to Heaven. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did.

amazing, although some parts don't make sense
While I found some parts of Black confusing, (although this could be due to my lesser experience of watching the supernatural genre) I really loved this. The acting, the chemistry (the chemistry between the two main leads for me definitely took longer than what I thought to 'click' but by 6/7 episodes in I could finally see their great chemistry together too), the OST, the rewatch value, all amazing! Even though some episodes were roughly 1 hour 20 minutes long, they really felt have that amount of time. Inserting the good ole' saying of "Time flies when you're having fun" here!The first two episodes really made me get involved in the story from the get-go, and whilst I found the third and fourth episodes the slowest out of all of them (but still not that slow), I understand why. These were basically episodes to world build and basically tell the viewer what is going on. I really like all members of the cast here and because of Black I will always remember each and everyone's great performances. Due to Black, I think I'm going to watch more dramas that involve members of this cast, especially the two main leads. Black = Brilliant!

Great but a little confusing at times
The story of The K2 is great. It's just hard for me to invest in it at times as I'm not sure (with some of the characters) how I'm supposed to feel/who I want to root for. Don't get me wrong, the acting and cast was superb, it was just a little confusing as my emotions for certain characters changed episode by episode. The OST also pointed out to me as quite unique for a drama which at times was very gritty. I liked most of the OST by the end, but at the start it actually quite startled me with the selections of songs/music. I feel like I may have rated my rewatch value too high however as this is another drama I am watching during the lockdown, these dramas have an advantage of a higher rewatch value as I have more time to watch them.The K2 is definitely a solid drama to watch, as long as you are able to get your head around the great but quite-complex-at-times story.

Good Start - Boring Middle - Great Ending
Before I say anything I just want to say that the OST for Kkondae Intern was surprisingly amazing. It's perhaps one of my favourite OST's out of all, at least in my top three of all time.Anyways, regarding the drama itself. It's definitely something that you can easily watch, just sit back, relax, smile and laugh a little along the way. It started of good in the first couple of episodes, and then the next three or four episodes were quite dull, but the last half of episodes were pretty amazing and made me binge-watch the whole way through the second half. I also like the twists and the turns of the story.

Stranger. Perhaps the greatest and most consistently good drama in television history.
Wow - and I thought they couldn't live up to the hype from their amazing first season! So, what did I prefer in each season of Stranger? Firstly, what I prefer about the second season. The plot has so much substance and thickness, such realism and emotion behind it that I felt even more sadder compared to the first season, because I didn't want it to end! An unexpected storyline. It keeps you guessing and guessing.I think the second season did take a little longer for me to get into compared to the first, plus I think the first season there were more characters you could connect to just because their personalities were more explored, however, there was at no time watching this I became bored, so that's always a good sign. Like I said before in this review, you won't want this to finish at all!!

Slow Start but at the end you'll wont want it to end!
After I would say the first three or four episodes, Live is addictive. What I love about this drama compared to many others is the range of characters and their development throughout the start to the end. The OST is absolutely fantastic too, perhaps one of my favourites? And that's a big statement for me to say! Regarding a second season, I'm not too sure if it will happen, however, I would definitely be open to one!I would recommend anyone to watch Live. I think anyone from any age group (teen or older) will get enjoyment from watching this beautiful masterpiece. Some parts which were brutal, but it's legitimately made me respect the real police even more!

I feel like this show does deserve a second season, although I'm not really sure it will ever be made. It's a shame, as I think I've found a great plot for it. Anyways, talking about plot, this show managed to pull off the thriller plot, romance plot and comedy plot amazingly well! This show is a MUST TRY!

The pacing is also brilliant in each episode - it never drags, and has the right amount of violence scenes and more 'casual' scenes. This show is the first to give me proper goose bumps in a very long time, and some scenes made me so enticed that I truly believed I was in the show at some points!
Horror fans will love this show, also give it a try if you're into thrillers and basic crime dramas! This show is definitely not getting enough attention from what it deserves, watch this now!!

At first, in the first and second episodes especially, I wasn't in the 'love' stage, as I felt some of the story and acting was a little sloppy, but the performances in the episodes after that truly made up for the first two episodes.
I have seen a recurring theme that most K-Drama only have on season and sixteen episodes, considering its now 2020, I don't think there will be another season, but I still strongly suggest to anyone who likes romance to watch this!

I do believe in some parts due to my western culture there were "cringe" scenes, however, there are obviously "cringe" scenes in western movies which asian people will not enjoy.
As a whole though, this was truly greatly acted and the stories in the series were so good that I could definitely watch this season over and over again! I have never seen any of these cast members before as I am still new in this community, however, I would definitely love to check them out again, this is an obvious indicator in how well this show performed! I truly suggest everyone to check this show out and see what you think!
A second season is must needed however for a more detailed review, as then I will be able to have an exact opinion. This show is great though!

Great Stuff!
While some may find The Uncanny Counter confusing, especially if you haven't watched many dramas of it's genre, I believe that the majority will love watching this. A very heart-warming and emotional story that will make you feel any and every emotion? You got it. From happiness to sad, from anger to sorrow, The Uncanny Counter will make sure you experience a rollercoaster of different emotions.A cast that really has great chemistry alongside an addictive OST combines this to be a must watch!

The Kdrama is so good that if you rewatch it, you might get too addicted too it, that’s the only reason I haven’t gave it a 10/10 score.
Everything from the twist and turns, casting, acting, music etc. Everyone needs to watch this Kdrama!
I’m just honestly hoping this isn’t the end of this amazing Kdrama, I could watch 20 seasons of this Kdrama if it continues this greatness, I’m honestly begging for another series asap please, that’s how good hyena is! You will love it!

Good Idea - Awful Execution
This is the first drama I have ever dropped unfortunately, as I do not continue watching a drama if it falls below a 5/10.Now, what went wrong, for me at least? The idea was inventive and I liked it. But how should I explain Abyss in the most honest way possible?
Abyss is simply boring.
I don't care about the characters or what happens to them later on in this series. A 1 hour episode honestly feels like 2/3 hours long. Cringe script writing, awful acting at parts, mega-slow pacing at parts, too.
I welcome people to still try out Abyss, but don't say I didn't warn you. I feel you'll find yourself dropping it too.

Unpopular Opinion - I liked it!
Despite the very low overall rating of Love Alarm 2 currently - I personally really enjoyed it, and easily prefer it over the first season of Love Alarm. I like how Love Alarm 2 gives off more mature vibes, which I think was definitely needed in order for the story to progress. I would also like to point out that the OST is surprisingly sublime, meaning I will be listening to it on repeat, starting today!It wasn't perfect, for example I did find some scenes quite cringe or irrelevant as they didn't really progress the story that much but overall it didn't hinder my positive experience on an overall scale that much.
While I do prefer Love Alarm 2 - I don't think there should be a Love Alarm 3 now. I'm only mentioning this because I feel like a Love Alarm 3 will happen - we shall see if my feeling becomes more than a 'feeling'!
