Korean Drama " Our Blues " is a multi charactered drama set in a small town.The drama manages to present and complete all stories, giving to each and one of them enough screen time and space to be proper developed, by appointing different episodes to them and without intertwining them together. That didn't overburden the drama with rushed plotlines, nor did it complicate things.
However, some of the stories were not as good as the others, as they were predictable and not as finely paced.
On the other hand, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast, as expected from an all star team.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

Korean Drama " Again My Life " doesn't stray too far off the beaten track.The dramas best part is its performances. The actors did all a great job portraying their characters and their performances were enjoyable. The chemistry between them was also a killer point. However, the star of the show is of course the main lead, who outshines everyone and gives the drama his own twist.
Unfortunately, and even though the start is smooth and exciting, the drama fails to deliver. The main criminal case is boring and predictable and the whole going back to the past was not explained. Rather, it was left to be added here and there as a reminder, not to mention, in some episodes, was completelly forgotten.
At least there were plenty action scenes that kept things entertaining.
So, overall, four out of ten.

Korean Drama " Uncle " is a heartwarming drama.The family dynamics were on point and provided a lot of emotional scenes. The kid and the uncle were, in addition, the highlight of the drama with their cute relationship and the smooth pace of their relationship.
Moreover, the drama had plenty of twists and suspenseful moments that gave the drama an edge and helped it become more than a slice-of-life drama.
As for the performances, everyone did a great job with their characters, but the kids were especially delightful.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama "Kill Heel" is a drama with strong female leads who collide for a place with power.The background stories were pretty interesting, though they flashed by too quickly. The performances were enjoyable as well.
However, the rest of the drama had a lot of issues. The main plot was boring and it was twist after twist that got repetitive. Also, the side characters were used only to fill in the gaps, and ofter were left out completely, with no progress on their stories. Finally, the ending was just okay. There wasn't much explaining when it came to what happened to the past and the whole drama was a letdown.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Japanese Drama " Fight Song " is a drama with a warm, sweet story and brilliant leading lady.And yes, the drama had a weak, boring love triangle that was predictable and had nothing to offer. However, the friendship was sweet and a nice touch, with warm relationships between the characters.
As for the romance, it was cute, and had some weak points, but it was nicely blended with the main storyline, which was the health problems of the main lead and her struggles to accept her reality and make amends with her future. That part was well handled with sensitivity and without overdoing it with the emotional factor.
As for the performances, they were all great, but the leading lady was the star of the drama.
So, overall, 6 out of 10.

Korean Drama " A Superior Day" was too boring for a thriller.Right from the start, the story gets predictable, with frustrating situations, especially since the viewer can easily figure out what was happening when the characters just played it ignorant. And even though there was some suspense at first, things started being repeated, particularly the twists. The gore, moreover, was sometimes unnecessary and only there to provoke.
On the other hand, the performances were nice and enjoyable, primarily from the main leads.
So, overall, 3 out of 10.

Korean Drama "Now, We Are Breaking Up" is a drama with not much of a story.There are some pretty moments when it came to the drama's cinematography, with the Parisian style and some nice scenery and fashion scenes.
Unfortunately, the constant and repetitive flashback scenes, the messy, cheesy, nonexistent story, and the lukewarm outcome were all factors in the drama's disaster. Not even the second couple, which had some cute moments, was enough to keep things interesting and the side characters were only there to fill in the gaps, thus having no stories of their own, or, at least, complete ones.
As for the performances, everyone gave a good performance.
So, overall, two and a half out of ten.

Japanese Drama " Konin todoke nihan wo oshita dakedesuga " is a light, fluffy drama.The story is pretty simple, predictable, and full of cheesy twists and cliches, and yet, it was enjoyable. Probably because the main couple had chemistry. Also, the leading lady gave an excellent performance. The rest of the cast did a good job as well.
Unfortunately, the ending was boring and got confusing with the back and forth of their decisions. Things could have been simpler and more entertaining.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama "Forecasting Weather and Love" is a drama about the struggles of dating in the office.The drama gives some insight into how weather forecasting works, which was interesting. The first episodes were also entertaining and had a nice pace.
Unfortunately, the rest of the drama was boring and predictable. The love story had few twists and the couple was tiring. The second couple was probably there to annoy the main lead, but later on, their story took off.
The side stories were also pretty solid. However, they were pushed aside by the stale main story and had a rushed conclusion and rocky progress.
As for the performances, they were all good by everyone in the cast. But the characters were weak and had few things to offer. Therefore they were not memorable nor had any material for the actors to work with.
So, overall, 2.5 out of 10.

Japanese Drama "Fishbowl Wives" is a drama about toxic relationships, and wives that are facing various marital problems.The story starts with the introduction of the main lead and her seemingly perfect life. Things are rushed to have her running away, which was the highlight of the drama. However, she stayed in that avoiding reality phase for the whole drama, until the most cliche thing happened and she had finally to face her problems. The ending was realistic, on that note, and it was probably what fitted the story the best. However, the love story was bleak and boring after a while of not having anything happening.
On the other hand, the short stories that were added on the main one were pretty interesting and some of them often stole the thunder from the actual story.
Finally, the cinematography was pretty, especially the posters for the drama, and the performances were excellent.
So, overall, 4 out of 10.

Japanese Drama "Can't Write" is a light, short but fun drama. It has a feel-good mood through and through, though there were some bittersweet moments.The story is pretty simple, though some drama is added here and there, without overcomplicating things though. However, that also meant that the drama didn't go too deep into relationships, personalities and their problems. It was also great that they managed to bring the story on a full circle and give it a beginning and a proper ending.
The performances, in addition, were all enjoyable by everyone. Kudos to the little boy as well!!
So, overall, 7 out of 10.

Korean Drama "School 2021" was definitely not like the rest of the school series dramas.It actually feels more like the other web school dramas, with a first love romance, friendship and some school drama that was more or less boring, though the love story was cute and the love triangle interesting and it had potential. Also, the second couple often stole the thunder from the main one, especially when the latter started getting tiring and cheesy. However, the mystery wasn't there, the school politics weren't something original, and the only thing that often saved the episode was the youthful mood that was at its best.
The performances, finally, were pretty good by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, 5 out of 10.

Korean Drama "User Not Found" is a korean web drama with an interesting plot about two girls with the same name, changing identities.The drama starts off strong, with the introduction of the characters and the slow build up of the friendship between the girls. The story progresses smoothly, with few twists and intrigues, focusing rather on the characters, their feelings and their actions. However, the drama started getting boring and more hectic towards the ending. The conclusion was rushed, and it was anticlimactic and pretty much a letdown. And, in the end, the main character proved to be a boring one, with no personality and just those tiring damsel in distress vibes. The romance was cute, on the other hand, but did not mature nicely.
So, overall, 4 out of 10.

Japanese Drama "Super Rich" is a business drama with a romantic twist.The drama deals with the themes of human relations, and people's beliefs when it comes to money and business, as it is seen through the leading lady's interaction with those whom she thought were close to her up until she got bankrupted. Unfortunately, the main focus tended to be the romance, which was lukewarm, as it was the love triangle that did create some friction to the couple's story, but was predictable nevertheless. Also, the story, and even though it started strongly, with an intriguing intro, an interesting directing choice, and a strong female lead, got repetitive. The company kept getting bankrupted, or the boss got betrayed more than once, and that was a loop that got tiring, along with the time skips that were, at times, unnecessary. Thus, the drama got boring and the story had few things to offer.
At least, the performances were excellent and the chemistry between the characters was enjoyable.
So, overall, 3 out of 10.

Chinese Mini Movie "Wuliang" is a short fantasy film that manages to squize in just half an hour a new fantasy storyline, present the characters and give them a journey quest together.The drama has a pretty interesting fantasy element which would have been better presented in a longer movie or even a series. Still, the CGI were good, the costumes perfect and the setting just right for the story.
The performances were pretty intense as well, and well handled. The main leads did a great job with their characters and displayed a plethora of emotions.
However, the ending was a bit just meh compared to the rest of the movie and kind of cringey. However, the rest of the movie was spot on.
So, overall, 7 out of 10.
