" A ghost I know " was a nice comedy, but not a great romance.

Well, actually the main romance wasn't that good. It was predictable and kind of boring. But the second couple was adorable. They had nice chemistry and they were funny overall. The two ghosts were pretty hillarious too. They were probably the best part of the drama, as they spiced up the plot and had nice dynamics with the leads. The performances were good too, especially from the secondary characters.

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

" Leverage " was a pretty interesting drama.

The con artists story was entertaining and made right this time, as it was not tiring and never got boring. However, the final con was so so, not as good as the rest. But the team was good, with nice chemistry and interesting characters. Especially the ladies, were really good! Plus, the romance was subtle and was just there to add some light, funny moments so it didn't overshadow or took over the plot, as that would have been boring. The performances were really good too.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

" Doki no Sakura " had a strong start, but a weak ending.

The main character, Sakura, was pretty peculiar, nonchallenged and a stick with the rules kind of girl. And she did dominate the whole drama through and through. The big mystery about her being in a hospital was intriguing at first, got a bit tiring later on though, and, eventually, it was a let down. So, the good parts of the drama were the stories of the people Sakura meets and how she helps them and eventually, changes their lives. The big climax of the drama was when she went back to her hometown and all the big life changing events that happened. However, after that, the drama got boring and the plot was tiring, with few surprises, and pretty predictable therefore. The performances were pretty good though and the chemistry between the friends - co workers helped a lot with the entertainment of the drama. However, the romance twist, even though it was cute at first, got frustrating in the end and probably the drama would have been better off without it.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Yanxi Palace : Princess Adventures " was not as good as the parent story, but it was entertaining.

The start was a bit slow, but after a while, you get back into the Yanxi Palace atmosphere. The love story was actually good, and the ending twist was original and was actually fit for a woman of the Yanxi palace. However, the ghost story part was not well explained, confusing and it needed more time to be well developed and the length of the drama didn't help at all. The performances were really good though and the leading lady was a delight.

So, seven out of ten.

" Kaettekita Ie Uru Onna " is the movie that takes after the first season of the drama, right before the second season. The movie doesn't really add anything new to the story, other than the baby situation, obviously.


Still, the film was entertaining and it had some interesting moments. The funny scenes were good too. Also, the performances from all the the actors and actresses of the cast were good. Especially the leading lady, was exeptional as always.


So, overall, seven out of ten.

" My neighbour can't sleep " is one of these dramas with an idea of a plot, but with tones of cuteness.

First of all, the couple was adorable. Plus, they had chemistry, which helped a lot with the progress of the drama. So, overall, the romance was pretty good. In addition, the pace was excellent and the drama was quick, short and sweet.

However, there were some things that bothered me, mostly about the leading lady. She was suppose to write a novel, but she hardly ever did. Also, in one scene she was promising never to bother the lead again, and then she just forgets about it and she chased after him again.

But, other than that, the drama had a super cute romance and it was light and easy to watch. So, overall, eight out of ten.

" Watashi ni Unmei no Koi Nante Arienaitte Omotteta " for a special, it was pretty decent.

The story was extra cute and the couple was adorable, due to the reason that they were different and fun to watch. The story was predictable and cliche, however, it was well made and kind of sweet and cozy. Probably a guitly pleasure, but it is short for a movie and well paced. The performances were good too from all actors and actresses of the cast. The final ending was okay and very romantic.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Youth " was a nice movie. The only thing that actually made me reduce my rating from nine to seven was the second half of the movie. Even though the start was really good, with a nice introduction of the characters and the setting where the events took place, the final half rushed things up. Especially when it came to the leading lady, with her story and take on the war, they just threw that "that is that from now on" and they didn't give a deeper look into it. Plus, the ending could have been better too, not about the actual ending, but the way they wrapped things up. That said, the performances were pretty good from everyone, especially when it came to the dancing scenes.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

" The Guilty Secret " was an okay web series. Actually, I might go as far as to say it was a classic global playlist web drama.

The story was interesting, as they didn't focus on the young love and high school romance. Rather, that guilty secret was used to prompt the actual plot that was about bullying, friendship, redeption and the web of misunderstandings that lead to misbehavior. The performances from all the actors and actresses in the cast were pretty good and helped the drama a lot. However, the first episodes were too awkwardly presented and too rushed.

So, six out of ten.

" Sato-Ke no Choushoku, Suzuki-Ke no Yuushoku " explored some interesting themes about family and family ties.

The movie - special, was bold enough to dare to present two untraditional families and how their dynamics were shaken when the kids started questioning the how and whys of their way of living. What I also enjoyed was the performances that were pretty great from every actor and actress in the cast.

However, I didn't like how they handled some of the scenes that were sloppy and awkward. Plus, they didn't explain some problems that eventually occured. But, overall, the story gave us a closure in the end.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Ao no Kaerimichi " told the story of a group of friends with big dreams that ended up being crushed by reality.

My main problem with the drama was that they had a big number of stories to present but they didn't have enough time to present them well. If this was a tv series, the story would have been more in depth explored as well as the characters messed up lives that were sometimes tangled up together. The big climax of the drama was when the friends have to meet again due to a tragedy, and it's when they realize that they indeed have not made their dreams come true. That said, the performances were really good and some of the scenes were nicely filmed.

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

" I wanna hear your song " had a nice mystery but the main story was so so.

First of all, the mystery was pretty interesting. They handled the pace pretty well and they presented the whole mystery thing in a way to keep things interesting till the very end. However, the romance was so so. And the love triangle wasn't well developed. In addition, the side stories were not interesting enough to be entertaining or add something to the story. Finally, the performances were really good.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Tomorrow I'll date yesterday's you had a nice and interesting plot.

The couple had great chemistry, first and foremost. It is actually one of the few movies where I really liked Nana's character. She looked good with Fukushi's character and they helped the love story a lot.

The main plot is not confusing as well. Although it could have been, they presented it so perfectly that it was not even tiring to watch.

The ending, however, was not as good as a happy one.

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

After Flowers ever after, which was good but nothing special really, the second season focused more on the one couple that had broken up.

I was a bit sceptical when they were planing to get the couple back together, as I was fearing that the problems that set them apart will be even greater this time around. However, they actually managed to make it work. The couple had chemistry and the love story was both cute and realistic at the same time. The plot was a bit predictable but it was satisfying.

In addition the performances were good from everyone in the cast. However, I've found the two main characters a bit different from the first season. That aside, they were good nevertheless.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Cain and Abel was an okay drama.

The story had some intensity, especially towards the ending. Actually, the ending episodes were the ones that made the drama worth watching. The rest was kind of boring and tiring to watch.

The performances, on the other hand, were really good. Both actors were great and their character had a nice character development. They also had chemistry and that helped the drama a lot.

So, overall, Can and Abel was okay, but nothing spectacular, as it was a bit boring and the story was not too surprising.
