The story was sweet and the romance was adorable and well paced. The couple had chemistry too and that helped a lot with the story. The idea about the do - it - yourself ideas and tips to help us redecorate our rooms and appartments was pretty clever and intresting. The main lady, although, at first, was a bit annoying, had a nice character development and she became more adorable. The performances were good too from all the actors and actresses of the cast, even the side characters.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

For a comedy, it was solid, with many funny scenes that can actually make you laugh. And the whole story, even though rediculous, actually made sense. For a horror movie, well, it wasn't a horror movie. Even for me who can't stand the genre and can get scared easily, it wasn't scary at all. The vibes were good though and the atmosphere nicely presented.
The conclusion was good as well, although kind of cliche and cheesy. But I guess it suited the movie.
So, seven out of ten.

Maybe I should start with those things that I didn't really like about this movie. First of all, there were some scenes were the movie was trying to be too much of an anime live action and so the performances were over the top. Also, the ending was not as magnificent as the whole movie was paving it to be. It just felt too easy, too simple. But there is still room for improvement, as the story left some things unsolved.
Overall, the movie was entertaining, nevertheless. The performances were pretty good and the action scenes well choreographed and enjoyable. The CGI were good too and the story's pace was fast and suited the mood of the movie.
So, eight out of ten.

Not Good Enough
Korean Drama '' Captivating The King '' is a historical melodrama, heavy on the political thriller.The drama has an interesting story in theory, alas, it is not handled well. In fact, the spy part was never developed, left only in theory. Also, the leading lady was annoying and her actions didn't make sense after a while. Not to mention the ending was lukewarm, rushed when it came to the twists, and unsatisfying.
However, there were some nice elements to the drama, though they weren't enough to make it enjoyable. The guessing game of when the King will find out who his playing mate really is was entertaining to follow. The performances were great as well.
So, overall, four out of ten.

The first part was great, with a well constructed mystery, top notch cinematography, especially the scenes with the snow, the subtle and slow burn romance and the news broadcasting setting. The performances were pretty great from every actor and actress of the cast. The main couple, in addition, had chemistry, which helped with the odd romance.
However, the drama got out of hand towards the ending. There were a lot of cliche trops that were added into the plot and the mystery got tiring.
So, overall, six out of ten.

The main problem with the drama was the pace. The skipping forward years in the future prevented the characters from having any character development and it just didn't help the romance at all. Especially the 14th episode was just bad, as it felt like they were trying to present the current situation of the characters in a fast and furious way, editing scene after scene and just blurting out that the main character now loves this girl, out of the blue, but that's that. No explanation was provided for their actions, no background and those four years in the future seemed like they four empty years (I mean even the flashbacks that the male lead was experiencing were from four years ago or of the same day, like nothing happened in those four years). Another factor that didn't really help with the love story was that the couple didn't have chemistry. They didn't have any solid heart-racing moment either. So, them getting together was just too random and forceful.
Finally, the characters remained the same as they were presented at the beginning of the drama. We knew the bad guys were bad and that didn't really change, although, the son did have some potential to demonstrate why he was the monster he turned out to be, a potential that was never really properly explored. The big boss and enemy of the male lead felt also more like a promise of a bad character after all. He sure was mean to the main character and seriously unlikable, but, in the end, his actions were left in the behind the scenes grey area. The main character, in addition, showed zero development. He even got a bit boring after a while and felt a bit too bland in others.
Now, for the good part of the drama. The beginning was just perfect. If you like melodrama, like I do, where the main character hits bottom and gets unfairly treated in order to stand up to his own two feet again and take matters into his own hands, then you are going to love the first half of the drama. The revenge plot was very satisfying as well, with a solid ending that was nicely presented. Though, it would have been nice if they showed how they actually managed to succeed, as the first part of the drama had focused on the struggles of them setting off. Another part of the drama that was pretty good was the characters. The members of the crew were unique and the drama didn't shy off from issues like racism and gender identity. So, it was refreshing to see those elements added in the plot. The female leads were delightful too. They were strong women, the one beautiful but a tragic character, and the other young, fearless, reckless and somehow, likable. Sure, she did some questionable things, but she was young and just too full of herself, so it was nice to see how the others helped her realize that her attitude wasn't always right and to grow up. I've also seen some other viewers not really liking her looks. Sure, she isn't the classic beauty, but, for her character, who was cool and interesting, I think she was just perfect. Finally, the OST was solid.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Good Enough
" I'm Tee, Me Too " was a fun drama to watch, especially if one is a fan of the cast.The success of the drama lays mainly in the fact that they presented six different personalities with different stories for each boy. The comedy element was not spared and it worked well with the boys chemistry and bromance dynamics.
However, the drama that was added in the final episodes did not fit well with the whole mood of the series. Not to mention that the reasoning was ridiculous and cheesy. Honestly, it would have been better off without it.
Still, the drama was fun, lighthearted (mostly) and interesting.
So, six out of ten.

First of all, the drama had a nice feel to it, fluffy, feel good, cute and light (well, at least the first part). And, as it is only five episodes, the drama did a nice job with presenting the story, although they added too many plot lines to be able to complete them all properly. For example, the drama with the father and his relationship with his son, as well as the mystery with the rice secrets were rushly concluded and felt out of the blue. The drama had an odd twist to it as well, with the whole mystery and fantasy part was not that well made, probably needed more time to get properly presented. The romance didn't have time to mature either. But the competition part it was nice and the deserts looked tasty. The performances were good too, though that daughter character was a bit overdoing her mean character.
So, overall, five out of ten.
