Not Good Enough
" Legally, Dad " was a quick, rushed and predictable.The story had authenticity in it, with the random stranger picking up two sisters to be his family. However, it wasn't handled well. The story was predictable and even the twists were overused. The pace was just too fast and it didn't give the characters time to progress their relationship and be properly developed. The ending was almost laughable (sorry...)
Other than that, the performances were okay, and everyone in the cast did a good job with their characters. Even the little girl gave a decent performance.
So, overall, three out of ten.

" Trap " promises to be a thriller following a romantic story that has a darker twist to it. However, that was not the case for this web drama. Honestly, it was just another college mini drama with a girl having problems with her love life. Sure, there was the twist of the stalker, but that was overshadowed by the relationship plotlines.So, the main story was okay, as it explored how a young girl, heartbroken, finds love again and starts trusting people. Meanwhile, she is being stalked by a weird guy, a plotline that the drama chose to use as a game of guessing who's the real culprit. That part was an interesting twist, but it was utilized in only a few episodes.
As for the performances, all actors and actresses did a good job with their performances and the couples had chemistry.
So, overall, 5.5 out of 10.

The good thing about Chip In is its length. Eight episodes were just the perfect amount that the story needed, especially since it started dragging towards the ending.Another plus was the characters. They started as spoiled, annoying, possy ones that were almost too easy to suspect. They did have some twists, not all of them though, and thus their motives and a patern about the mystery were all revealed. In addition, they were all interesting and had the same amount of screentime, especially the main ones.
However, the main mystery case was boring. They did try to add some suspense to it, but the pattern of almost cracking it but then not really solving it, got tiring after a while and the whole thing lost its charm. We didn't get to know the main victim-character that well to care for him and his death, something that didn't aid the case.
Finally, the performances were pretty good from everyone in the cast and the cinematography was perfect for creating the mood of the drama.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Sweet Revenge Season Two " was not as good as the first season, but it was okay.The story was pretty much the same as the one in the first season, with an app with which the main character could take revenge on those who pretty much harmed her or her family and friends. The start was really good and strong, with an intense case for revenge and a smooth love triangle. The family drama was also sweet and warm. However, the rest of the revenge cases weren't as strong and were kind of boring. The friendship and family storylines were okay, but not enough to keep everything smooth and interesting till the very ending. The love triangle got boring as well. The actual love story was, in fact, predictable and kind of tiring too. Also, as it happened in the first season, there wasn't a clear explanation as to who was behind the revenge app.
However, there were some nice moments to it. First of all, some acts of revenge were satisfying and well deserved. The performances were good too, especially from the young actors and actresses.
So, overall, five out of ten.

" Thumping Spike season two " is not as good as the first, but it has its moments.First of all, the second lead is very entertaining and makes up for most of the enjoyment of the drama. He also steals the thunder from the main lead, who is pretty cookie-cutter good guy material. The girl is cute at first, but gets way too annoying towards the ending, especially when she kind of double dates both guys. Also, for a 'geeky' girl, she was too toned down. We only get to see her study alond with the male lead for like two episodes. And her wearing glasses does not make her a 'geek'.
Other than that, the drama focused more on the romance than the sports, which was disappointing, but they did add some scenes towards the end with a game of two. The performances were pretty good as well.
So, overall, five out of ten.

" Ruby Ruby Love " was an okay web drama.The story is pretty predictable, even from the start, though there were some cute moments when it came to the romance. However, they never reached that intensity as a couple. Still, the concept was interesting and the idea with the ruby ring entertaining and original. Unfortunately, even though they could have added some depth to it, with the introverted, agoraphobic main lead slowly realizing that what was the root of her problem (which, aparently, she already knew, acoarding to a flash back) and believing in herself, we got a half baked conclusion that mainly had to do with the love story.
So, overall, four out of ten.

" Drawing Spring " was a cute mini drama.It focused on two friends that were starting to have feelings for each other. The chemistry between the two leads was intense and their moments together were too sweet and cute to ignore. The kissing scenes were just perfect as well. However, the love triangle was a bit ridiculous and undeveloped. It seemed like it was only there to create some tension in the plot and to lead to that final battle in the ending. Actually, the second lead was just too annoying to handle.
Another minus was the presentation of the whole horse racing concept. It just wasn't good and it looked fake. And yet, the trauma sequences somehow worked and it gave the drama an in depth perspective on the characters.
Finally, the performances were good from everyone in the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The story had a nice background, with the amusement park that looked almost like a fairy tale and gave off circus vibes. The characters were entertaining, even the side ones. The main ones, moreover, were interesting. Finally, the performances were very good from all the actors and actresses in the cast of the drama.
However, the story seemed a bit dull. Sure, there were the youthful vibes with the friendship concept. And, thankfully, they didn't add romance to it. However, I guess it needed more time to have the friendship mature. As for the ending, it was a bit out of the blue and rushed.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Again, the Loona girls were pretty good and they looked like professionals. So, the performances were good, from the other actors too.
But, there was the story again. Even though the addition of friendship was a nice touch and made the story a bit more emotional and sweet, the main plot line was partially explored and concluded a bit too hasty. However, at least this time one of the girls got her happy ending.
So, overall, five out of ten.

The first episodes were a bit over the top, with some ridiculous situation taking place. However, they somehow made it work. The stellar cast, with some heavy industry names having not only a cameo or two but some small parts in it, did add some funny moments to the mix. The story had a surprising new route to follow towards the ending, which was cute and refreshing actually. And they did wrap up things nicely.
The performances, too, were nice from everyone in the cast. The settings and costumes were adorable too.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The main story did have an entertaining factor, as the idea of a girl having three guys with different personalities falling in love with her was interesting. However, the drama kind of focused on her chemistry with one of them, and the other ones were a bit rushed. The ending, well, actually, the endings, were a nice idea, but, because the drama didn't have the leading lady spend much time with the other two boys, they just didn't make sense.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Actually, the main problem of the movie was the ending. It was not open exactly, but there were many issues that were left answered, especially since towards the ending there was a huge twist. They didn't go deep with the girlfriend either, and there was a lot of drama about her character. Also, the main character's story could have been better presented.
Nevertheless, the performances were great from everyone in the cast.
So, overall, five out of ten.

The main idea was actually pretty great, especially since the main actors had chemistry. And, for a school drama, it was an interesting twist on the classic first love stories. There was depth into the story actually, with the stalker boy who used his parent's status to get away with his behavior. However, that element, as well as the storyline about the stalker's friend who had enough, the the second lead's parents and the second female lead's story, were not properly presented. The leading lady, in addition, often played the demsal in dispare, and just stood there staring at her attackers, which was a bit awkward. The drama got a bit boring towards the end as well.
So, overall, six out of ten.

The main lady was adorable, though, she got a bit tiring towards the ending, but the final episode made things up smoothly. The office drama was nice as well, as it shown how difficult it is to have a relationship in the office, especially for the business women.
Actually, the second couple was a bit more interesting than the main one. The performances in addition were all great from all the actors and the actresses of the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.

As before, the drama concentrated on women and how they find it hard to react when their colleagues and superiors are plantly sexually harassing them or demining them because of their sex. Again, the way the characters reacted and the conclusion of the drama were reassuring and empowering, as the message was that you are not alone. The addition of romance, however, was somehow unnecessary, as they hardly had time for it and, in the end, it was rushed and partial. The performances were good though and the friendship of the girls nice.
So, overall, seven out of ten.
