" What happened to Mirae ? " started intrestingly, but was just not good enough.

The story was okay, and there were potentials but they just stuck in a loop, as did the characters. Plus, the leading lady's character was annoying and kind of selfish. However, her character kind of improved towards the end. Still, the drama didn't provide any good presentation of the characters and we never got to know them better than the basic description. The story got pretty boring too quickly.

So, overall, three and a half out of ten.

" Neko Cafe " had a nice idea but it was just not anything special.

Some of the stories were nice and mostly the whole movie had a sweet and warm feeling to it. The cats were cute and the acting was decent from all the actors and actresses in the movie. The theme was interesting as well.

However, the movie was a bit boring. It was just not that original and it felt a bit pointless. Plus, it focused more on the small cases than the main lead of the movie. Maybe if this was a drama the stories would have been better presented.

So, overall, three out of ten.

"You are the apple of my eye" Japanese version, felt like it was pointless.

Having not watched the other version, I can't really compare them. But, judging from other viewers, it was pretty similar to the original. In any case, what I liked about the movie was the feel good vibes, the youthful story and the performances. The characters were interesting, unique and funny. I enjoyed especially the leading character. That said, everyone did a great job with the performances.

However, when it came to the love story, that's when things got out of track. The movie kept promising to give something, but never did. It was like watching those two going in circles and never meeting. So, that was disappointing.

So, overall, six out of ten.

"A boy who wished to be okuda tamio and a girl who drove all men crazy" was .... okay. I really liked the ending, where the character had a meal with his old self. I guess there was more in that scene than in the whole movie.

The main plot of the drama was not anything that we haven't seen before. And the story felt a bit flat and predictable. It was easy to read the characters, especially the leading lady's. Not that the performances weren't good. Both actors did an good job and they had chemistry. However, her character was a bit stereotypical.

So, overall, four out of ten.

Love Buzz is a cute, short special, kind of like a movie.

The story is lovely, with the romance quite good. Sure, the movie started a bit oddly, with the lead presenting himself as the son of the girl. But the twist towards the ending was really good and unpredictable. However, and this is the sole reason why I took some points off this one, the ending was wide open. Maybe there will be a second "season" (?). Else, that ending can not possibly be justified, as it was not satisfying enough.

Still, the movie managed to explain the fantasy part quite well and they pulld off a nice love story in a very short time line. In addition, the performances were very good.

So, seven out of ten.

My absolute boyfriend, korean version, could have been better.

First of all, I don't know if the other versions had better ending, but this one was not well concluded. I might as well say that the ending was kind of open, as it just leave you guessing who's who.

The performances, however, were really good. The love triangle might have been weak, but the leading couple had chemistry and were cute together, at least if you set aside the fact that the leading man was a robot.

Now, for the pacing, the drama started strongly and it intriguing to watch. However, it got boring after a while, because everything happened just too slowly and the events were going in circles.

So, six out of ten.

I hate you Juliet! was just good.

The story was okay. They handled the fantasy part well, and that was the only part that spiced up the show a little, as well as the leading lady character, who was interesting and kind of entertaining. Hong Ki was adorable as always and cute, but he didn't really have any chemistry with the leading lady. So, the romance was weak as well as the love triangle that wasn't properly developed.

The past stories were okay, but most of the drama was packed with cliche plot twists. At least the performances were good.

So, six out of ten.

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.

I wasn't expecting that this movie would be any good, but surprisingly it was quite entertaining. Sure, the cliché was there. A student makes a deal with a bad boy to pretend to be her boyfriend in order for her to keep her friends. In exchange, she agrees to be his dog. Well, one good thing about this movie was that the boy didn't change into prince charming. On the contrary, he kept being a bad (really bad- not to use any other inappropriate language) boy and he was really rude, though the movie kind of tried to explain his behaviour. The girl was crazily naive and the definition of a push over. But the movie was quite entertaining and the love story okay, which was helped by the nice performances. So, 8 out of 10 (after watching it for the third time).

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.
