Ugh, missing nine! This was a really good drama, until the ending ruined it. That and some other little parts. The story is pretty good, as it wasn't the typical romantic comedy. It was rather thrilling to watch how the story developed till the final episode. However, in the end, many things were left unanswered. Like, the romance never got to be "finalized" and left you thinking if they were actually attracted to each other or not. Or the murderer case, as everyone seemed fine with it. I mean, they were kind of all calm about the whole situation even from the island, where none panicked over the fact that a serial killer was among them. And there is the whole Yeol case. I'm not a fan of the idol, but I did wait to see if they found him or not. At least, it would have been nice if there was some closure to that one. But those were the actual negatives of this drama. On the other hand, it was very intense watching it. The performances were great and you could sympathise with the victims or feel rage with the villains. So, solemnly because the ending left many questions unanswered, I'm rating this drama 7 out of 10.

Classic, classic, classic!! I loved this show from episode one!! Though towards the ending, it wasn't as good as the first episodes, it was still funny and interesting. Well, the story is a mess at the beginning, but it gets better after the third episode and the humour is good enough to keep you entertained. The romance is so cute, as the chemistry between the two lead roles is great. You can sense it from the beginning that those two are either going to kill each other or fall in love. And they almost do kill each other! The side stories weren't that great, as they were there only to fill the gap between the scenes and they merely helped the development of the story. The performances were good as well (well, most of them) and I liked the development of the characters, as they changed each other gradually. All in all, one of my favs so far and with a great soundtrack!!

Good Enough

Korean Drama 'The Defects' is a dark thriller.

For a short drama, the story is nicely developed, even though there were some twists that were rushed. Still, the idea was enjoyably unfolded, with a satisfying ending to a frustrating story. They also manage to fit in the main story the children's stories, which added much to the emotional impact of the story. Moreover, the action scenes were entertaining.

Finally, the performances were all great.

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

Not Good Enough

Korean Drama 'Tastefully Yours' is a culinary romantic comedy.

The drama has nice settings and a good idea behind the plot, but the rest was average. The comedy was overstretched, the politics underdeveloped, and the romance, which was the main ingredient of the drama, failed to impress. It was badly paced and was not convincing. It also lacked intensity and sweet moments. The scenes of the restaurant were nice, though.

Finally, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, three out of ten.

Korean Drama 'Pump Up the Healthy Love' is a slice-of-life romantic comedy.

The drama has an interesting plot and a light mood, with enjoyable comedy and funny characters. The performances were great as well. The fluff of the story continued all the way to the final episodes, which, however, were a let-down. The romance was underdeveloped and was rushed to be added to the story, while the cheesy twists in the end were also rushed and poorly handled. The side stories were also underdeveloped and touched only on the surface.

So, overall, six out of ten.

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.

Not Good Enough

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 'Kick Kick Kick Kick' is an office comedy.

The drama has many interesting characters, with the two main leads and their dynamics being the heart of the story. The latter was entertaining, with okay jokes, but some heartwarming plotlines. The pace was also fast and it suited the drama well.

The performances were all great as well by every actor and actress in the cast.

However, the ending was rushed, and the romance could and probably should have been omitted.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Good Enough

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 'Heavenly Ever After' is a fantasy comedy with a lot of drama elements.

The story is original and interesting at first, with the comedy being mild and not a laugh-out-loud kind of comedy, but enjoyable enough. The characters were interesting as well, and they were endearing. The romance was lovely and sweet as well and there were a lot of emotional moments. The fantasy element was, moreover, entertaining.

However, the story was not handled well. It was tiring after a while, the ending was rushed, and the melodrama didn't blend well with the comedy part.

The performances, finally, were all great.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama 'Friendly Rivalry' is a school drama about an obsessive relationship between two classmates and a dark secret.

The drama has impressive cinematography, especially when it came to presenting the characters. The psychological drama was also well handled and presented, and that added to the dark mood of the drama.

The plot was also enjoyable, though the finale was rushed and the twists, some of them at least, didn't make a lot of sense.

The characters were also interesting and the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.

The drama is as good as the first season, intense, deep, with loads of action, and great performances. The characters were interesting as well and supported the story well. The main character's arc was also strong, with a smooth character development. The fighting scenes were, in addition, well-choreographed and executed. The ending was sweet as well, but a bit rushed.

Korean Drama '' Who is She '' is the remake of the movie '' Miss Granny ''. This time around, the 'granny' becomes an idol and tries to make her unresolved dreams come true.

The drama had some interesting and enjoyable parts, like the one with the grandpa and the past story, but that's it. The rest was a mess, with too many plotlines that don't blend nicely together, or are paced and developed nicely.

Also, the main character was annoying and overacted her 'grandmother' style.

The ending was also odd, rushed, and badly handled.

The romance was, in addition, odd, because of who the characters were.

Finally, the performances were good.

So, overall, three out of ten.

Korean Drama '' The Scandal of Chun Hwa '' is a fantasy, historical drama that explores the theme of female sexuality.

The drama is indeed bold when it comes to the presentation of female needs and their views on love and sex. Thus, it presents a lot of different stories and different characters, and situations.

On the other hand, the main character's story wasn't that interesting, with the romance being basic and kind of pushed aside with a rocky pace and many cheesy twists.

Finally, the performances were all great by all the actors and actresses in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Study Group '' is an action, school drama.

The story is pretty enjoyable, with loads of action scenes and well-choreographed fighting scenes. It also has an emotional aspect, with the friendship slowly blossoming between the members of the study group, as it grows and acquires new members. In addition, each student had an interesting background story that enhanced that emotional aspect.

On the other hand, the corruption of the school wasn't as smoothly handled as the comedy and the rest of the story, but it was entertaining nevertheless.

Finally, the performances were all enjoyable by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, eight out of ten.
