" Girl next room : Richy Rich " was pretty entertaining.

The comedy was overflowing in this one, as the main couple were mostly enemies and slowly started liking each other. So, they really nailed the funny parts and the comedy scenes weren't over the top, which was a plus. The whole drama actually had a fluff, light feeling throughout. However, the story was predictable. But, still, it was entertaining and the actors and actresses did a great job with their characters. The couple had chemistry as well, even though the conclusion of their love story was a bit lukewarm.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

" Nibiiro no Hako no Naka de " was not the typical rom com school manga adaption. It dealt with more mature concepts and problems than the typical coming of age dramas do.

So, the story starts a bit light, with the youngsters reaching a mile stone in their lives when they will not only have to start thinking about their future, but their friendship as well. The drama then focuses on the young love and how the leading lady has a crush on the boy next door, but is afraid to tell him. The drama takes a darker turn later on, with the addition of more characters and more issues resurfacing. The thing is, however, that the drama let things go out of hand for a while with the complex relationships and secrets. It just felt a bit messy. But, they corrected things in the final episode. Another minus for this drama was that the main couple didn't really have chemistry, though they looked good together, and their performances were great.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Hi, Bye Mama! " was a tearjerker through and through. The story starts with a heavy note, though the main character is trying to lighten the mood a little. Still, the premises, the main story, and the whole concept is sad and you can't help but, eventually, get emotional one way or another, as the drama keeps throwing one blow after another. However, after a while, it was tiring to watch the leading lady cry constantly in every scene. Not that she wasn't amazing and nailed every one of these scenes, but it was a bit too much to watch in a row.

Another thing that the drama did right was the ending. Towards the middle, it was a bit overwhelming to imagine the inevitable, but the writers concluded everything beautifully, and gave closure not only to the characters, but the audience as well. Unfortunately, in retrospect, the drama overexploited the main story and, in the end, it felt like nothing really happened, just the main plot and nothing else. Still, the drama was entertaining till the very end. For a side note, it would have been nice if they have shown how the main couple patched things up. Finally, the performances were great from everyone in the cast.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Kiss scene in yeonnamdong " or else " Who kissed me " is an adorable web drama about a girl who is trying to find out who was that amazing kisser that kissed her when she was drank.

The drama did repeat lots of scenes, mostly about the mystery of the kiss night. And it was easy to predict who was the kisser, but the drama had a nice pace, even though it was a short one, and they managed to complete the story and be wholesome. The characters were pretty intriguing and interesting. Plus, they had chemistry, which helped a lot with the built up of the love story. The performances were really good from all the actors and actresses of the cast.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

" Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita " was, surprisingly, really good.

One thing that I really loved was the camera work. They made it look like it was filmed with a phone or an old camera, like a documentary which resulted to a more realistic twist to the whole drama. Also, the way that they presented the story was pretty good and clever. However, the editing was kind of off and sometimes the story got confusing.

The story, moreover, was unique and entertaining. They kept it real and didn't add any romance or unnecessary twist to it. It was humane and deep, as it showed how the characters influenced one another.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Perfect crime was just okay. That said, I have seen better, I have seen worse too.

The story is predictable, but one can watch it nicely enough. Be aware that some scenes are mature though, but not too explicit. The love story was fun, although the leading lady did not match well with that older guy-her boss. She, however, had chemistry with her partner. Plus, there was a happy ending, after a nicely made twist.

The performances were okay as well. Though, some of the characters were simply annoying and felt like they were taking advantage of other characters.

So, five out of ten.

Intimate Strangers is the remake of a movie with the same name and really, it felt as a remake. Some of the stories or scenes looked strange for a korean movie, although, most of them were forced to feat the korean standards. So, the story isn't bad, but you know where it's headed. And yet, the ending was surprising and left mane questions unanswered. On the other hand, the performances were really good from all the cast and tht helped the movie a lot. Also, some of the secrets were intense and were entertaining to watch. So, seven out of ten.

First of all, you have to watch the mini drama before watching this movie, as the film picks up where the drama left the story. Plus, the drama explained the whole situation, as the movie just focuses on the game and not the characters and why they are in the friend game. Now, for the actual movie, it was entertaining overall. The twists were good and unexpected, but the ending was left open and probably things are concluded in the second movie. The performances were good too, and, the pinnochio thing didn't really bother me, as the anime addition of this movie.

Holding The Cat in Arms is more like a theatrical production than a movie. The set is, most of the time, in a theatre. The whole mood is like watching Cats overall, with humans acting like cats and everything. And the story was a bit confusing at times. But, after finishing the movie, you do get a sense of what was actually happening. The execution of it was good too. But, maybe it wasn't my cup of tea or the story didn't have the conclusion that I was hoping for (a longer one at least). However, the performances were really good and there were some cute moments.

My Moochy Boyfriend looked like a good drama. Comedy, check, good actor, check, based on a manga, check. However, the story was simply over the top. The leading lady could not be THAT forgiving!! She was trying to change Sho, her boyfriend, but it was clear that she was failing, as she was pulling back at the last minute and just overspoiled him. On the other hand, Sho, even though he loved her, he was not even willing to change.... So, why stay together? At least, there were some fun moments and they looked good as a couple. But, Masataka Kubota could have picked a better role. He is not my favourite actor, but I can at least admit that he is good. And this character just felt less. The girl was extra cute! Kind of saved the drama for me. Finally, the comedy scenes were handled well and they didn't look rushly made or fake, though the events were clearly too over the top to actually happen... Overall, 6 out of 10.

A short drama that actually has a cute story. Overall, it was entertaining, I have to say. The story wasn't anything special, but it was light and sweet. The romance was cute as well. In addition, the performances were good from all the actors and actresses. Another plus was the eye candy actors, that were many in this one!! Also, there was no love triangle, but the bromance was nice and strong. However, I have to say that there were some annoying characters. The leading lady wasn't that likable at first, but she got better. But her friend was exremely annoying!! Eventually, she was the one who created the chaos and didn't even support her friend... Anyway, in the end, it was a nice drama with a simple feel good plot.

Terius Behind me is a funny spy drama, with cute kids and a solid bromance. The action scenes were plenty and well made, cinema quality level. The comic moments were good as well, especially with the parents, who were funny and the real everyday heroes. Another thing that this drama had going for it was the character development. The lead lady was really good with her character overcoming all the obstacles and herself as well. So, the performances were really good from every actor and actress, even the kids. However, the story god boring towards the end. The love story was really weak as well. Finally, the last episode and the conclusion of the story was out of the blue . So, 7 out of 10.

That man Oh Soo is a drama with a promising plot but a horrible, horrible execution. I honestly had to force myself to watch the last four episodes cause it was out there unfinished for weeks now and it bothered me. Another reason why I kept watching it was Jonghyun, who was really good in this one. He finally matured into a good actor and I'm glad that he had chances in getting more experiance.
Other than that, the drama was seriously boring. The love story was bleak, the magic fantasy mythology incomplete and never explained properly, the plot was tiring to watch and follow and overall, the pace was too slow and the ending horrible. I mean, if there was at least a nice conclusion I would have rated this one with an additional star, but, unfortunately, the final scenes was just... confusing and unsatisfying. I mean, what happened?? What was that?? I keep thinking about it and I can't figure it out.
So three out of ten because of the performances, some few cute moments and the soundtrack.

Modern Farmer is a comedy more than anything else. Its funny from episode one till episode twenty. Some of the jokes did get overplayed, and some of them were really silly, but overall, this drama did produce laughter. Other than that, the story is so so, with the romance mediocre, if not non, the love triangle bleak, the side stories just okay and the big mystery uninteresting. The performances were nice, though, with Hongki bringing in the cute younger man to life in perfection. The other boys were good as well. I also enjoyed the romance between the "dork" and the artist girl, even though the ending was cheesy. So, overall, 6 out of 10, because it was an enjoyable drama, but not something you should watch if you are looking for something with a solide story and a good romance.

Not much can be said about this drama, that started simple and quite among the other big ones, and actually managed to pull of a great story, keep the interest high till the very ending and actually increased the emotional level pretty neatly. The performances were good as well, and the chemistry between the two main ones really good, though the focus was more on the tragedy rather the romance for most of it. At some point, however, it did got a bit tiring, though it picked up quickly after, almost turning Uncontrolably fond on me.
