Takane No Hana had it's moments. I liked the main romance, and I would have liked the second one as well, if the guy didn't have an afair with the girl's mother, something that I couldn't overpass, sadly. Another thing was the performances that were really good, especially from the leading lady. Also, Chiba Yudai was especially good in this one. Howevere, other than that, the story got me confused more than just once. Plus, I really didn't get the fascination about flower arrangments, but maybe that was just me. So, six out of ten.

Korean Drama " Bitch X Rich " is a school melodrama with an edgy plot. However, it gets more makjang than a mystery solving series.The drama has a relaxing pace, which was okay at first, but didn't serve it well in the end. When things were starting to wrap up, the drama rushed things and gave the story a questionably open ending.
Also, the drama was too melodramatic at times. The twists were predictable as well and most of the characters were annoying, even the main one, though one should appreciate her brutal honesty when it came to her situation and her fighting spirit. But you could see that her choices turned into unavoidable disasters one by one.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable enough.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Korean Drama " Military Prosecutor Doberman " is a law thriller taking place in the military.The drama follows two main characters, complitelly different from each other; one seeking money and success, the other revenge and justice. And yet, when they team up they make a deliciously enjoyable duo, with their dynamics and chemistry hiting the highest notes. Hence, their interactions were entertaining and their action scenes well performed. However, the romance should have been held out of the equation.
Also, the villain of the drama had a nice arc, with his character going from being utterly dispicable, to finding his inner peace and realizing that his actions were hurting others. Probably watching his character development was the highlight of the drama.
On the other hand, the criminal cases were boring and predictable, though some of them were quite emotional. But those about the power struggle in the military were classic tropes that were handled badly.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, four out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Family Matters '' is a sci fi mystery drama with a complex plot with many layers.The drama is indeed complex, with many sides to the story, many interesting characters, and enough twists to keep things fresh. It also had many action scenes that were well done. However, there should have been more information on the characters' background and, especially, on that mysterious organization that trained them.
Nevertheless, the humour was enjoyable, the family was sweet and offered a lot of entertainment, and there is room for another season.
In addition, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast, who handled their characters splendidly.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Melo Movie '' is a drama about young people chasing their dreams despite their traumas.The drama is quite slow-paced, with impressive cinematography and a nice soundtrack.
It also has some strong performances by all the actors and actresses of the cast, but, especially, the main leads, who also had strong chemistry to boot.
However, and despite the slice of life vibes that were spot on, and the strong family drama, the series had a scattered plot, which it didn't handle quite well, as to produce the right emotional impact when it was needed.
So, overall six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Connection '' is a fast paced thriller with a mystery case that spans through time and connects a band of friends to a twisted crime.The drama starts out a bit slowly, but when things start 'connecting', the suspense is enhanced and the drama gets more action scenes and more mysterious as well.
The story isn't linear, hence, it gets confusing at times, but the characters are well handled and the minimum amount (to zero actually) of romance was a smart choice for the plot. In addition, the performances were all great, by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Japanese Drama '' Game no Na wa Yukai '' is a psychological thriller-mystery.The drama is quite short, thus the story doesn't have the opportunity to properly develop and have a smooth progress. Therefore, everything happens rushedly, and it is difficult to believe the connection between the two main characters and the dynamics of their relationship.
On the other hand, the twists were unpredictable and the ending was nicely handled.
The performances were enjoyable as well by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, four out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Wonderful World '' is a melodrama-thriller.The drama has quite a tragic story and it easily gets emotional and bittersweet when it deals with those matters. With an intense start, the drama slowly unfolds into a political thriller, with the main couple (not a romantic one though, fortunately!!!) having lots of chemistry and enhancing the intensity of the story.
Also, the performances were all great by every actor and actress of the cast. The characters were interesting as well and had depth. In addition, the family drama had many layers.
Finally, the ending was nicely handled, though the final episodes seemed like they were losing momentum.
So, overall, eight out of ten.
