Korean Drama 'Oh My Ghost Clients' is a comical fantasy with many emotional stories.The drama delves into many themes and matters and has many cases to drive the point home. Though the start was rocky, with the fantasy element being presented poorly, the emotional impact of the ghost cases made up for it. Also, the drama was suspenseful till the very final episode.
However, the drama never goes too deep into the main characters' lives and personalities, which was a letdown.
Still, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

Korean Drama ' I Am A Running Mate ' is a school political drama.The story is unique, but the main idea is not fleshed out nicely. Still, the first episodes were enjoyable, and the performances were nice enough to keep things decent. The back and forth of the storyline in the first minutes of each episode was a nice touch as well.
However, the story only touched on the many themes that it presented and never got too deep. Also, everything happened too fast and was not properly developed.
Finally, the ending was questionable and many things didn't make sense.
So, overall, three and a half out of ten.

Korean Drama 'Hyper Knife' is a medical criminal drama.The story is quite complex, and it centers around the two surgeons who are both geniuses in their field and, thus, both similar. The drama is not afraid to dig deep and to present a morally gray character who has her own way of thinking when it comes to life and death.
However, and even though the story was moving at breathtaking speed, the drama, despite all the twists and turns, had a messy ending, and it got tiring to follow the two main leads. So, a strong start, but a weak ending for this drama.
The performances, on the other hand, were all strong and great.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Mother and Mom '' is a family melodrama about the relationship between mother-grandmother-daughter.The drama has many themes that it explores, other than the family bonds, like the pressure on little children about their academic scores and their admission to the best schools and academies, and, of course, the aftermath of that pressure.
Also, the romance was cute and enjoyable, and, thankfully, wasn't the main focus of the drama and was only there to support the plot, even though the chemistry was there.
In addition, the relationship between the two women (mother-daughter) as well as the little girl was an interesting one, and it was thoroughly explored, even though the final episodes were kind of off, with the main lead's reaction. Still, it was a happy ending, even though I would have loved if her relationship with her husband had been also better presented and explored.
Finally, the performances were all great, especially by the little kids.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Love Your Enemy '' is a romantic comedy about misunderstandings and second chances.The drama has a weak first half that tries to make a successful love triangle, and fails to do so, tries to be funny, but ends up being cheesy, and tries to create tension between the two main characters, but they end up making them annoying.
And yet, the second half was great, funny enough, sweet enough, and romantic enough. The family drama was enjoyable, the mood was light, and the past story, which was what shone in the first half, had a smooth conclusion in the end.
The performances were, in addition, great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.
