The drama dealt with a lot of issues, with the main story being a love story between two broken people. The leading lady was a pretty interesting character, as she seemed to be a weak character, but she was actually strong and she did her final resistance towards the end too. She also realized that her boyfriend didn't love her for her but for other reasons, a twist that made her character even more likable, at least for me, as she proved to not be one of that silly , damsel in distress female lead. Other than that, the drama did a good job with presenting the story, though they left some plot lines out as the drama proceeded. Still, for a short one, it was entertaining and handled difficult themes masterfully. The love story was nice too.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Could Gong Hyo Jin have picked a bad drama? I guess her character was okay, but the movie didn't help her at all. The biggest part of the plot was them drinking and one of them being drank and not knowing what they were doing. The romance, thus, was messy and never really developed properly. The timeline was messy too. The performances, however, where great, but all the actors are pretty amazing, so that was no surprise.
So, overall, four out of ten.

One thing that really bothered me was the main character. He was overconfident, kind of annoying and it felt like he wasn't ready to be acting like he did half way through the drama. He also seemed to be getting advantage of his friends. Finally, his story was confusing and messy.
On the other hand, the rest of the stories were good. The characters were overall interesting, though they presented the female characters weak and in need of the male characters' help. The SGI were good too.
So, six out of ten.

Another thing that worked for it was the way they presented the story. It was nice to watch the two persepctives and how the two characters actually felt. However, they didn't work well with the whole fangirling story, which they abandoned after the first episode. However, the performances were good.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The story was not that original, but the couple had tones of chemistry. They were good as friends and there were many sweet and funny moments between them. The romance was progressed smoothly, as well, and they didn't rush things, building up the tension of the finale. The ending was pretty satisfying and enjoyable. Finally, the pace was just right and the performances from everyone in the cast decent.
So, overall, eight and a half out of ten.

The series overall was dark, packed with emotions and followed a thrilling mystery. The pace, actually, of the story was managed pretty well and that helped the story a lot. The characters and the performances by all actors and actresses were brilliant and added a lot to the whole drama.
One thing that I, however, didn't really like about this drama were the final episodes. The cases were almost solved and the drama didn't really have much to offer. Therefor those episodes lacked intensity.
So, eight out of ten.

But first thing first. The movie started nicely and the way they presented the story was packed with feels and a bit drama. However, I would have loved if they explored the main characters personalities and struggles more and Ido believe the actor would have delivered the role better if the script allowed him to.
Still, the love story was sweet and touching. It also had some short of innocence into it. And the performances were good.
So, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Pyramid Game '' is a drama about school bullying and social classes.The drama has a strong start, with the viewer being introduced to the characters and to the pyramid system. It was interesting to follow the main lead, as she was trying to understand her new position and how to change things. It was also nice that she wasn't all good and innocent, rather, she was a grey character who was selfish and manipulative. Hence, her character development was enjoyable to follow.
On the other hand, the drama had a weak second half. It felt anticlimactic and the ending was a let down.
At least, the performances were all strong by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Strong Girl Nam Soon '' is a fantasy comedy.The drama tries to live up to its popular prequel, but doesn't manage to be enjoyable. The main lead was not cute, but childish and immature, which ended up being annoying and tiring to watch.
The story was boring as well. After Nam Soon found her mother, which was probably the most interesting part of the drama, things went downhill. Overused tropes, a boring and without chemistry romance, a messy love triangle that didn't make sense, lukewarm action scenes, and cheesy comedy, were all elements that led to the disaster that the drama eventually was.
The performances, at least, were decent enough. The cameo of the old characters was a nice touch as well.
So, overall, two out of ten.

The second season of the Korean Drama " Love Alarm " takes things from where the first season left off, years after the events that lead to the main couple splitting up. This season doesn't have the advantage of the school genre that always adds some innocence and freshness to the plot. It actually doesn't have a plot, as the story focuses on JoJo and her struggle to accept herself and her feelings. The whole drama about her art, her past life, and the shield was sloppily handled and the family drama was overlooked. The side characters were also boring.One thing that this drama had going for it, at least, was the strong performances from the cast, especially from the leading lady. The twist with the romance was original too. However, the whole drama feels strange compared to the first season, like it's not its sequel. Rather, it's boring and rushed.
So, overall, 4 out of 10.
