Not Good Enough
" Noble, my love " was simply bad.The premises of the drama were interesting, and I do love the twist with the contracted dating or marriage scheme. However, this drama didn't handle it very well. And it wasn't because they used too many cheesy trops, which you kind of expect from a romantic comedy.
Things started looking fishy when in the scene where the girl is saving the CEO, she takes off his shirt to clean his wound, and while he is there bleeding, she just stares at his abs... And if that is not enough of a warning sign, then the drama will only get worse and more frustrating.
The male lead is simply insufferable. He is not the cold guy who acts arrogant but he is kind of cute. No, he says that he is a dominant and he treats the girl as his property, taking over her job, even her own life. He keeps yelling at her to not meet other guys, even if they are her friends, or she meets them by accident. And, even though she doesn't fit her character, she just takes it. And not only that, she actually falls for him. Why? He was a j**rk to her the entire time!
Now, for the girl, she was enjoyable as a character, but she kept acting randomly. She also tended to behave like a child from time to time.
The drama overall was predictable and some of the episodes were boring. The side characters were also underdeveloped and overlooked most of the time.
Finally, for the good parts of the drama, the episodes towards the ending, when the male lead started acting like a human again were actually good. If only the rest of the drama was like that...
So, overall, 2 out of 10.

Good Enough
" Amensalism " had a good mystery, but the rest of the drama was boring.The story about how everyone was connected to the past mystery case was quite solid. And, it would have been a really good drama if they had stuck to that one, and didn't add other plot lines that were underdeveloped. Also, the cases, in the beginning, were interesting, but they were too few.
The romance, on the other hand, was weak, as was the love triangle. Actually, the second lead was more interesting than the main male one. The other side characters were always overlooked and they had no story or actual personality, which is unfortunate, as the team was entertaining. The villains, finally, were predictable and too cliche.
The performances, lastly, was just okay. And the CGI horrible.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Arguably better than the first part, but with fewer episodes, which didn't allow the romance to have the intensity that it should. Nevertheless, it was well constructed, with a cure storyline and a refreshing plot. The main couple had chemistry and there were a lot of funny scenes not only between them, but between the leads and the secondary characters as well. The characters' background was explored in-depth and it added a better perspective to the characters and their stories. The performances, finally, were top notch from all the actors and actresses of the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten for the second part of the Girl Next Room series.

Probably the drama needed more episodes to actually make the story work, as five of which with only 10 minutes length was hardly enough to explain the complex storyline and the depth of the characters. Still, the performances were top-notch, especially from the leading lady, who nailed the dramatic scenes. The couple had chemistry as well, which helped, as the whole romance took place during the span of one day. The cinematography was just perfect as well, though the scenes in the final episode were a bit too much and reminded of a music video rather than a film. The story, again, was confusing and the whole time skip did not help.
So, overall, six out of ten.

The drama had an odd plot, with the main couple's meeting through a video game, and most of their romantic moments were in that virtual world. The video game scenes were actually well-executed, though the fighting scenes were boring. However, they got less and less as the drama proceeded and they got non existing in the end. The love story was boring too. They started thinking that they were an actual couple just because they got married in the game. The romantic scenes were off too, as the only thing that they actually did was stare at a screen in reality. Anyway, the college part was fun and the groups of friends were pretty adorable and funny. However, that didn't last long either. The business mystery trope was boring too. Finally, the couple was good looking, but their performances were not that great. The leading lady's friend was pretty cute too, however, her love partner was a bit of a j**rk.
So, overall, three out of ten.

The story was nice and cozy, first of all. The music theme was interesting and the way they presented the violin lessons was fresh and clean, not too tiring or boring, so the story concentrated more on the slice of life. The three characters were pretty interesting too. Their stories were warm and had nice family dynamics. However, the romance that was added to the story, though it was okay, it didn't really work because the chemistry wasn't that good, as they seemed more like friends than lovers. Probably the few romantic scenes didn't help with it either.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The story was interesting and they handled the whole switching bodies quite well. The actors did a good job to share the same character and the transformation to the Chris character was done smoothly. So, overall, the performances were pretty good. The first half was really good as well. However, there were some characters that were annoying and ruined the mood sometimes. The romance was odd too, as the girl, at some point, didn't really know who was in love with. But the action scenes were plenty and entertaining, and the side couple was interesting, although their story was always overlooked.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The time travel theme was okay, a bit confusing at times, but they presented it well enough and it worked with the love story nicely so there was progress and cute moments of the couple. The latter had chemistry and looked adorable together. Especially the girl was pretty good and enjoyable. The twist towards the end was entertaining as well. But, overall, the movie didn't have enough intensity to make it great.
So, overall, six out of ten.

The story, or the main idea of it at least, was interesting and maybe the movie would have been too. The big twist in the end was probably the best part of the wholde movie and kind of corrected my view on the female lead, as, at first, she was annoying and obviously taking adventage of the male lead. The second couple lacked chemistry and it didn't help with the entertainment of the movie. The performances were good though, from everyone in the cast.
So, overall, four out of ten.

When it comes to the artistic part, the movie had an interesting cinematography, but, most of the time, it gave me motion sickness, as the camera zoomed in and out, the characters kept running and changing positions too suddenly and quickly. The story was also too thinly spread and the way it was presented it made it confusing. So, it was hard to enjoy it as the whole theatrical approach distructing. The performances seemed good though.
So, overall, four out of ten.

So, overall, Parasite is good. If you like movies about real people, that are not afraid to show the raw reality and social injustice, than watch this one. It is a roller coaster of emotions, with lighter, more comical moments and more thrilling, suspenceful moments. And the film combines them masterfully and everything works well together. The performances were top notch as well. The story, finally, was well paced and interesting.

The story had a nice progress. Although the romance was messy, as they didn't handle the love triangle very well. However, the love story's result was quite realistic and unexpected. The pace of the drama was pretty nice too. Finally, the performances were really good especially from the leading lady.
So, overall, seven out of ten, as the story just lacked something in the end.

One Page love is a mini series with an almost cute story. The main character is still stuck to her past, as she can't get over her ex boyfriend, who has just disappeared. Meanwhile, her best friend is in love with her and wants to make her happy. While trying to reunite with her ex, she meets another guy, a popular photographer, who, surprise surprise, falls for her as well. So, the story pretty much is one of the many others out there, with a cute and innocent girl attracking every guy in the cast. However, the ex boyfriend story was kind of interesting and unique, and kept the drama interesting till the very end. Plus, the ending was happy, at least for some of the characters.
The performances, in addition, were very good from everyone. And the main couple had chemistry. So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

The story was predictable, but easy to follow, light and fluff. The romance was cute as well. Although, I have to admit that I didn't like the couples that were formed at first. However, the ending was nice and therefore, the drama concluded well, wrapping up everyone's story.
The chemistry between the couples was good as well. The performances were decent as well. Those two helped witht he development of the story a lot. But, the final episode was a bit over the top.
So, seven out of ten.
