I've picked up this drama because I'm a huge Suho fan and I had to watch it. However, my review will be bias free and I'll try to keep it objective. So, first of all, I have not watched the japanese original one, so I can't say if this is better or not. But I did enjoyed some parts of this drama. Some scenes were cute and funny. But, I did not like the story line, as it was kind of messy. Aslo, the romance was weak. I mean, the lead had more kissing scenes with the second lead lady than with the leading lady. I guess, the drama focused more on the company, on the friendship, the past mystery, which wasn't that big, the development of the main character, and left everything else out until the very last episode. There were some sparks here and there, but the love story was very spread out. Aslo, I didn't like that sometimes the acting was a big too forced, like overacting. But that was the case for a few scenes, so I can overlook it overall.
Summing up, Rich man was an okay drama. It isn't a total wast of your time, just don't expect too much out of it.

A short drama about a cat and her owner. The story, overall, was cute and it kept the interest high throughout the whole drama, so kudos for that. Also the length, 8 episodes for about 30 minutes, was efficient enough. I was actually afraid that the short length would have deprived the drama of a quality plot, but it actually didn't. The performances were really good as well. I have to give a warning though: the ending was super sad. Finally, one thing that I didn't like about this drama was that the girl was kind of annoying. But other than that, it was an enjoyable drama.

A Poem a Day is a medical drama with focus on the romance genre. The story involves doctors who work in a rehabilitation clinic, as well as nurses and trainees. We expecially follow the story of a young physical therapist, who meets her ex love interest in the clinic and falls in love with the new team leader. Now, the medical cases weren't that interesting, as they were short, few and didn't give us neither many information on the situation nor some closure to them. The romance, however was very nice with the love triangle slowly developing into a strong one. I do wish there were more episodes, though, cause the drama focused on the romance and didn't give many details on the other characters stories. But, overall, it was a sweet and cute drama, which I much enjoyed, so 8 out of 10.

Surprisingly an enjoyable drama. The story is kind of an ordinary drama story, with twins taking each other places, really evil rich people, a tragic leading lady and an awful past. The story is kind of entertaining, especially the romance, that was intense and there was clearly some good chemistry between the couple. Then, there were the performances. The leading lady was killing it, posing as the good and the bad sister effortless. She was actually very good and probably the main reason, along with the romance, that this drama was good. Also, the whole rich family drama was entertaining. So, 7 out of 10.

Todome no Kiss is not one of those cute J dramas full of romance and manga like atmosphere. It is more of an intriguing mystery drama with an ending that might not sutisfy many. For me, the ending worked. It was fresh and original and I have never had an ending like this one before. So, I really liked it. Plus, it gave out hints for the second season of this drama. Secondly, the story was very interesting and entertaining. The time skiping was interesting as a theme, but the highlight of this drama was the main character. Eight was a character with many leyers and he had the audiance captured by his charms and tragic background. Also, the whole rich world thing, with its dramas and secrets, was very entertaining. So, great performances, nice built up and fascinating story are the key points of Todome no Kiss, the first drama from Kento's filmography that didn't follow the cute romance patern.

A mini series with a good story and an interesting theme. Back when the k drama land wasn't filled so fully with the go back to the joseon dynasty theme, this drama had kind of an interesting and original story. And they did make it work, using lots of humour and a nice romantic story. The chemistry between the two main actors was nice and helped a lot with the love story, though it was odd to begin with. The plot had a good pace as well and managed to complete the story officiently enough in just about two hours. So, 6 out of 10.

A fantasy drama with good premisses but a so so story in the end. It's hard to think that the two male leads are actually the same character. They look rather like big brother and his little student brother who fell for the same woman. The story gets a bit too complecated when the teacher goes back in time and meets his first love, forcing her to like him back but as a grown up now and not as her classmate. So, a really really odd love triangle is developed. The ending was so so as well. It could have been better, but at least it wasn't boring. So, 4 out of 10.

Unexpectingly entertaining this one was. The story is interesting and the whole body switching was well executed and it didn't look rushly made. The performances helped a lot with it, along with the story that was mostly funny but had it's touching moments. The ending, however, kind of ruined the whole thing. It wasn't only confusing, but it was expected as the twists were easy to figure out. So, overall, 5 out of 10, not too bad but not too good, as it could have been better, if the ending wasn't that predictable.

Another manga movie, but with an unexpected ending. Actually, the movie was too manga like, with some ridiculous scenes, like the one where the girl 'jumped' out of the window and the surgery recovering guy brought her back into the room using only one hand... But, it was cute enough, with a light mood towards the love story and the whole sparkly theme. The girl was good enough, though the crying scenes weren't her it game... The boys were good as well, especially the 'second' lead, who was cute and funny, but a little too boyish. Overall, an okay movie, its best feature being the ending.

The sequel of the first samurai movie has a lots of action but some unsolved plot twists. The main character, having finally found peace, he is summoned back into the world of killing in order to preserve that peace. Honestly, the girl who always gets disappointed over the non killing thing was annoying, but other than that, she wasn't in the film much. The action sword scenes were really good and the whole thing was once again a big production when it came to settings, costumes and special effects. The performances were good as well. But, my only concern was that everything seemed to just pave the way towards the third movie. So, 8 out of 10.

This drama contains enough action and comical situations to keep you entertained till the very end. Especially the leading actor was so good, acting perfectly his role that was eccentric and odd, even when he acted like a cat. The big twist in the end wasn't easily predicted, and that was a plus for the drama, even though it was a bit sad. The action scenes, in addition, were plenty and, along with the small cases, it aided to make the plot really interesting. Plus, the friendship dynamics were really good. So, 8 out of 10.

Not something you haven't seen before. Actually, the story was just so so, and the whole hair thing was odd. Okay, the her talent with grooming one's hair was only used at the beginning and then towards the end as well. But, the description makes it sound like it would take upon the whole movie and it will be the base of everything. However, that wasn't the case. Unfortunately, that also meant that the whole upbeat, silly cute vibe that one would expect, was gone. Actually, the story is kind of a heavy love story, that wants to present the characters as complicated but never managing to present them in depth. In addition to that, the cartoon bears that appear out of nowhere really didn't agree with the whole atmosphere of the movie. In the end, this movie left confused on what was the concept it wanted to take on, so 2 out of 10.

I've got Luke warm feeling about this movie. It wasn't necessarily a bad one (if you have watched runaway beat you'll know that there are worse out there). The theme is not original and the love story is weak (actually, the second lead had more chemistry with the leading lady than the main couple) but at least they didn't add more cliché to an already cheesy story. Another plus was the leading lady's performance, that was unexpectedly okay considering she didn't have much to work with. Overall, 3 out of 10 for this movie, that won't be difficult to forget its story, but it's entertaining for a while.

School 2013 focused on the school drama and not on a romantic story, which is a refreshing idea and gave more space for the true drama to unfold without an unnecessary love story to interrupt it. The story was very interesting, as it was dealing with issues like bulling and youth problems, as well as teaching methods and bad school politics. The performances were really good and that helped a lot, as well as the way the issues were presented. In the end, however, it felt like this drama needed an extra episode or two to conclude the stories, as the final one was kind of rushed and left a lot of things with not an actual ending. So, 8 out of 10.

Not bad, but not as good as the first movie. This one had more appearance of the childhood friend, which complicates the love story a bit and the teams relations. It stirs some past wounds as well, with the past always popping up and the story focusing more on the characters. However, that means that the whole action theme that the first movie had is lost. It seems like the movie makers can't find the perfect balance between action and story depth. Though, the performances were good, maybe better than the first one, as the actors had more to work with other than the game dynamics, the whole team spirit and game thrill were lost, resulting to a bit of a boring middle and a really bad ending.
