Korean Drama '' The Worst of Evil '' is a new age noir drama about a man who sinks into the dark side and a villain who gets to be his friend.The drama starts out not as strongly as it should, but, after the first bumpy episode, it picks up, getting more and more thrilling and suspenseful. The characters were interesting, moreover, and their chemistry aided the drama a lot to be more tragic and intense.
The performances were, in addition, spot on, especially by the main trio who really excelled. It was also nice that they didn't add too much romance to the drama and they rather focused on the bromance and the action scenes. The latter were nicely choreographed and smoothly embedded into the story.
Finally, the cinematography was impressive and what helped the drama stand out.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

Korean Mini Drama "Love Revolution" is fun at times but it was boring overall. Probably what kept things going in the second half is the second couple, whose story was left, unfortunately, unconcluded and with an open ending, suggesting to a probable second season. The friendship parts were pretty interesting as well, especially since the characters had chemistry and they were fun together.However, the main love story was just okay. The biggest chunk of the time was the male lead supporting the whole relationship while the female lead looked uncomfortable, uninterested and simply not into it. The pace, also, slowed down after the first part and the story got boring.
At least the performances were pretty enjoyable. Especially the male lead was delightful and entertaining.
So, overall, five out of ten.

" Flower of Evil " was a pretty intense drama. What is spot on about it, is how they managed the characters. At first, the viewer is introduced to the main male lead, who is presented as a serial killer, psychopath, and unable to feel emotions, especially empathy, while he uses his wife in order to hide who he is. Eventually, the story deepens into what really happened, who really is the male lead, and how he feels and acts.The serial killer case gets the same roller coaster treatment, though an experienced viewer might have a few right guesses as to who is the real murderer. The addition of the family drama, with the in-depth presentation of all characters and their stories, especially the journalist and the sister, were all a nice touch and enriched the suspense and the emotional impact of the story.
However, there were a few moments, especially towards the ending, when the drama felt like it repeated some patterns. The female lead was endearing more than enough times, as she was presented more childish when it came to her feelings and how she expressed them. That said, the performances from everyone in the cast were brilliant and helped a lot to the success of the drama.
The ending, finally, was dangerously tiptoeing around the limits of cliche trop, but they handled it nicely enough to never actually reaching it.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Nevertheless, the performances were top notch. Yoon Shi Yoo was really good as the bad guy and the transformation of his character from the innocent royal boy to a rougthless politician was amazing. The ending was good as well. Another thing that worked for the drama was the intensity of the story. As it was based on true events, the drama was even more powerful.
However, other than the parts of it that were boring, the romance had only a few good moments as well. I understand that they wanted to focus more on the tragedy and less on the love story. However, a milde romance just didn't feat well.
So, six out of ten.

Korean Drama " Our Blooming Youth " is a historical drama about a cursed prince and a wrongly accused lady.The drama has a strong start and offers a few mystery cases that were interesting to follow. The main female lead was also a flesh note to the historical drama and she did a good job with her action scenes.
However, the drama got quickly boring and stuffy. Its length also didn't help with the enjoyment of the drama. The romance, in addition, was not smooth and was probably not that necessary for the main plot. The couple had few romantic moments and their falling in love was out of the blue. Not to mention that the love triangle was boring and eye-rolling worthy.
The performances, though, were nice by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Japanese Drama "Kieta Hatsukoi" is a story of a series of misunderstandings.The drama starts on a cute note and continues that lighthearted, sweet atmosphere till the very ending. The main lead is adorable, too boot, with plenty of lovely moments that he executed brilliantly. The love story was equally adorable and the main couple had great dynamics, which helped a lot. The second couple was enjoyable too, but had a messy process. And, admirably, the first part of the drama was better than the second one, which was pleasing, yes, but started to slow things down a little.
Finally, the performances were great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, 7 out of 10.

" Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru " was a telenovella consetrated into eight episodes.Trully, the story had everything, from a tragic romance to a revenge plot, in addition to heartache, family issues, mysterious characters, health problems, a fire, stricked traditional family, love triangles, time skipping, murder, infidelity and more. But, overall, the drama focuses on the first two, with a love story that had a sudden start (honestly, the marriage proposal was too quick and not at all of my taste), but it smoothed the pace after that rushed begining, having many dramatic moments, many cheesy ones, many sad and a satisfying conclusion. That said, the couple had chemistry and looked good together.
However, the revenge twist was more interesting, as it was less predictable and had a solid and surprising ending. The murder case kept things thrilling till the very end and the dynamics between the two female leads were spot on.
Finally, the deserts were pretty and they presented their manufacture well and in details.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Perfect Marriage Revenge '' is a fantasy melodrama with a nice start.The drama indeed starts off strongly, with the makjang vibes really rocking it, as the main female lead was being bitten down again and again by her evil adopted mother and her daughter. The love story that started to bloom was quite interesting as well.
And sure, there were some really idiotic things happening to the characters, but the melodrama allowed the story to be excused from them. The ending, however, and the episodes towards it, were all something that the makjang genre didn't support. The drama started focusing more on the romance, hence, it didn't have enough time to wrap up nicely the rest of the storylines. And, the fantasy element that was used in the first episodes and was forgotten in the middle ones, was brought out again, and wasn't handled smoothly, rather, it was quite rushedly concluded.
So, overall, four out of ten.
