Special labor inspector Jo is one of the dramas that were overshadowed by the popular ones airing at the time. But, if you enjoy the drama that fight against injustice and against all odds, this one will do the trick for you.

The drama overall was good. There were some parts of it that were predictable. Others were boring. But, they mixed the action scenes with the comedy and the drama well. I also liked the secondary romance that was cute. And the relationships that were formed between the characters, were well presented and overall strong.

Finally, the performances from all actors and actresses were great.

So, seven out of ten for special labor inspector Jo.

Anyone who had watched "Wolf girl, Black Prince" would remember the second lead, who was overall geeky but when he took off his glasses looked droped dead gorgeous. Well, this movie is the live action of that (and with the same actor).

So, what I liked about this movie was the choice of actors. All of them were perfect for their parts and therefore, they added a lot to the movie. Their performances were good as well.

As for the story, here's what desappointed me. Maybe it was because I was really looking forward to this movie. And the start was admitadly good. But the ending was cheesy, kind of rushed, and over the top cliche. I guess they didn't manage the pace very well.

So, six out of ten.

What I liked about Love Rain was the concept. It was an interesting idea to connect two stories together, one from the past and one taking place in the present. Maybe if this one was a few episodes shorter all those cliche predictalbe scenes would not have happened and the story would have concluded nicely and satisfying. However, it didn't and thus, the episodes towards the ending were boring and just too loooong. The start of the drama was kind of slow as well. Actually, the second story was better than the first one. I did enjoy however the way they presented that era. Also, the love triangle was better in the first story than in the second one, where it was weak. Finally, they didn't really explain the character's past in betweet the two stories. So, 5 out of 10.

Love Relationship was a basic drama. The story doesn't offer much, but it was enjoyable. So, if you enjoy shoujo-josei like drama, this will be a fun one to watch.

Actually, most of the drama was nice, although the last few episodes were boring. The characters were fun, but were never explored more in depth. But, the performances from all actors and actresses were good, and that helped overall. Plus, the love triangle was really good and intense. The story from the past was nice as well.

So, overall, six and a half out of ten for this drama, because most of it was enjoyable, although it was predictable.

This small drama is just some side stories from the Gintama universe. They were kind of funny, at least some of them were, and, as they were roughly twenty minutes each, the story didn't really have time to develop properly. Still, the small cases were cute and entertaining. The usual characters were back, so you may have to need to watch the movies first. Anyway, the performances were good, the CGI bad and the execution overall just good. So, six out of ten, because some of the funny parts weren't that funny.

River's Edge is a dark movie. It showcases the lives of outcast teenagers, as they try to figure out what life is, what love is and what friendship is. Although it was unnecessary graphic at some point, and the events that happened were too much, the movie had a simple but strong plot. The performances, actually, were the key to success for this movie. All the actors and actresses of the movie were exceptional and helped the movie a lot. The ending, finally, suited the story overall. So, six out of ten.

The third movie of the High and Low series had one of the best action scenes so far. It was so good and it will leave you fully satisfied. The story is good as well. The plot thickens, as the demons of the past are resolved and the gangs move forward. The characters are basically the same, with the addition of the new villains. So, part of the action scenes, the well managed fights and the plot, the performances were great and the settings top class quality. The soundtrack was excellent as well.

A short web drama that doesn't deal with school or first love, but rather with grown up problems. The realtionships in this one undergo contemporary couples' problems and eventually only one will survive, as the narrator suggests in the first episode. The stories of both couples were relatable and entertaining, and very dramatic, may I add. The ending was satisfying as well and it kept that slice of life atmosphere, being all realist and unique. The performances were really good as well. So, seven out of ten for this web drama.

Feel good to die was a surprise. It was funny and it pulled the fantasy theme off nicely. The time loop was just there to spice up the plot, but the main one, the office politics and comedy, were not influanced by it. The romance was weak though. And, towards the ending, they fell into the cliche trap, but at least it was entertaining. Also, the performances were really good, as well as the second lead syndrom (oh, the second lead again TT), though the love triangle wasn't so good. So, overall, it was an entertaining drama, even though the ending was weak. Seven out of ten.

A great slice of life drama. It's short, it's dramatic, it's about innocent teenage love and hardships, so it's just perfect if you like more realistic dramas. The only fault is the leading lady, at first. She was annoying and too egoistic, thinking only about her own gain and using everyone. However, she overcomes a major character development and she grows up. Being a part of the dancing team helped that. The later was such a clever way to introduce the girls and their lives, as well as backgrounds and their friendship. The final concusions of their stories were satisfying as well, except of the love story that had a weak ending. The cinematography, moreover, was perfect for the mood of the drama.

A rom com about a career woman who finds love in the office. It was cute, overall, and I especially enjoyed the second couple's story, which was intense and sweet. I also liked that this drama didn't shy off and showed the relationships as they were. Towards the ending, however, the leading couple's story got a bit boring, as the big twist that happened was confusing and they could have resolved it easily. Alas, they dragged us all through the final episodes with it, something that didn't really fit the leading lady's character. In any case, the drama was enjoyable, so seven out of ten.

A I Love You is like "Her" only more teenagy and naive. The story is cute and the romance sweet, though the characters are never presented more in depth and they are just superfecial beings with some quircks. Especially the ending, however, was left open and highly confusing as to what happened, who was A I and who made the App in the first place and why to sent it to the girl.... So, part of the plot holes, and the open ending, the movie was okay, so 5 out of 10, because the performances were decent.

Beautiful Accident had the merits to become a really good movie. Alas, the ending wasn't as good as the rest of the movie. I really liked, though, the family dynamics and how the leading lady transformed and had a major character development. However, I felt that some incident happened out of the blue. In addition, the performances were really good from every actor and especially the leading lady. Finally, I really loved the soundtrack of this movie. So, 6 out of 10 because the of the story and the plot holes it had.

Final Cut reminded me of the korean drama pinnochio, without the love story. The plot was interesting and it had many twists to keep things entertaining throughout the drama. Also, the performances were really good, especially from the lead, who showed a variety of emotions and character depth. However, I did find the flash backs boring, as they repeated themselves after episode three. In addition, the ending, even though it was realistic, it was kind of open when it came to the romance. So, all in all, 7 out of 10.

As a big fan of the series, I admit that this one could have been the best one yet. However, the ending was the sole reason why this drama can't be rated 9 out of 10.
Minus:
-The ending was rushed due to the leads army enlistment and so the story never really ended properly.
-The romance was nice, but getting our guy single again by killing his old girlfriend was a bit of a no no for me, as I loved them as a couple in the second season.
-Sometimes the pace was tiring.
Possitive:
-The acting was great
-The story was the best one yet, with those reply, youth vibes. Even the back and forth was cleverly managed.
-There were some little inside jokes here and there, like when the two boys got in a fight over food, someone will come and stop them by pointing out that the food will get cold.
-The food was plenty and didn't disappoint
-The couple had chemistry
So, overall, 7.5 out of 10.
