" 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.

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.

This movie was exactly like the relationship between the girl and the boy: it's obnoxious, a little idiotic, kind of nerve wracking, but in the end, like the guy said, it's really difficult to get over it. The story is a been far stretched, as the girl, who is in the less clever class of her school, has to move in with the top student of the school, after her house collapsed like a house of cards. The twist here is that the girl was in love with the boy for years, but, after confessing to him, she was rejected very rudely. The girl simply annoys the guy and there is no indication that he even likes her. But, the ending just takes the most clever twist ever to let you anticipate for the second film. So, 4 out of 10, because the film makers could have tried to presented the facts better than just leave them look like a cheep comedy rather than a manga movie. Plus, the chemistry between the two were lacking, even though their performances were really good.

It's okay, it's love, it's more than just a love story. Sure, it's not the tale of the greatest love ever, but the focus on mental health, and how to treat people that suffer from mental problems, are the main focus of this drama, that doesn't fail to capture the interest from the very first episode and keep it up till the end. The stories tangle up into this thrilling drama, that explores the issues of the mental illnesses. And the message that leaves us is loud and clear : people with mental illness have to be treated as equals. The background of each character is interesting and it's being explored throughout the series, till the last episode, which was more about the closure of the love story, than anything. But, still, the background stories are the ones that support this drama, along with the good performances. I may add that to the list of the issues that It's okay, it's love, handles the domestic violence, that is presented constantly. Now, for the love story, it's not that good, though the chemistry between the two characters isn't that bad. I think that it's just that they are not that comparable, the cold doctor and the play boy, though they do find common ground through their mental issues. Finally, the supporting stories are okay, but not that good. But the soundtrack was great, and it was just what the scene needed some times.

3 Nen A Kumi: Ima kara Mina-san wa, Hitojichi Desu is a roller coaster. Nothing is what it seems in this drama. The only thing that was concistant is Suda Masaki's performance. I never singled him out before as an actor, but in this one he trully proved to be a great actor. It seemed like he even lost weight for this role. The rest of the cast were good as well.
Now, for the story: it was fast paced and full of twists, sespence and action scenes. However, some scenes were repeated towards the ending. And the story reminded me of the anime assassination classroom for the first episodes. But, overall it was quite a thrill and with powerfull performances.
