Korean Drama '' A Shop for Killers '' is the sequel to the '' A Killer's Shopping List '' drama, though, they differ both in genre and in atmosphere.

This time around, the story is less comical and more of a family drama, with lots of action scenes that were well executed. The mystery of the uncle was also well constructed, revealing the truth slowly and through the flashbacks. The ending was, in addition, especially good, but left a lot of questions unanswered.

Finally, the performances were all enjoyable by everyone in the cast and, especially, the two main leads. The characters were also pretty interesting and they were well handled, with smooth character development when it came to the main female lead.

So, overall, nine out of ten.

Japanese Drama '' Nanyobi ni Umareta no '' is a healing drama.

The story, though a bit quirky, has a sensitive and emotional story, with the main lead finding peace and the power to move on. The relationship between her and her father was also sweet and their dynamics spot on.

The mystery of the past was also interesting to follow and offered some suspense. The closure of it brought peace to all the characters and it was nice to see our main girl rediscovering friendship and having fun.

The mystery of Agatha, moreover, gave her a chance to show her progress and her character development.

On the other hand, the romance was the drama's weakest point. It was half baked and underdeveloped, easily omitted from the plot.

The performances, finally, were all enjoyable.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' The Story of Park's Marriage Contract '' is a fantasy, time travel romantic comedy.

The drama has a great start, with an interesting female lead who is delightful to watch. It also has a fun story, with enough light and fluffy moments to keep things entertaining. The comedy part was great as well. And even though there were some cheesy moments and overused tropes, they were nicely embedded in the story and they didn't feel too cliche.

The second half of the drama was, on the other hand, rather boring. The ending was well handled, sure, but they added too much unnecessary drama just to keep things emotional. That is why the conclusion was rushed.

The performances, finally, were all enjoyable.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Maestra: Strings of Truth '' is a mystery melodrama that is character centered.

The drama builds up an intense thriller, as the plot starts from a family drama to a homicide mystery. Moreover, the characters are all interesting and move the story forward, aiding it to become more than a basic melodrama.

The mystery was also well constructed. On the other hand, the love story was boring and had too few moments. Rather, the family story was entertaining enough to fill the gaps in the episodes.

Finally, the performances were all great. The music was also amazing.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Gyeongseong Creature '' is a fantasy, horror, action drama.

The historical aspect of the drama is spot on. The costumes, make-up, settings, everything are beautiful, and create the right atmosphere, along with camera filters and sharp shots.

The story has enough mystery, moreover, to keep things intense and interesting till the very ending. However, the plot is pretty basic for a fantasy historical drama, with few surprises, a messy pace when it came to the love story, which could have been omitted or kept for the second season, and poor CGI that messed up the whole momentum at times,

Other than that, there were some emotional plotlines and a lot of well handled action scenes.

Finally, the performances were all enjoyable.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Beyond Evil '' is a psychological thriller with a duo of detectives that aid the success of the drama.

The two main leads are great, nailing their performance, and their chemistry was enjoyable. It was also nice to watch their relationship changing from enemies to friends.

Finally, the action scenes were nicely handled and the side characters were also entertaining.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Good Enough

Korean Drama '' Night Has Come '' is a death game with a class of high school students as participants.

The drama starts off quite strongly, with the story being gripping and intriguing enough to spark the interest and to have the viewer look for who is behind everything and to figure out what is going on. The use of the mafia game was interesting as well. The bloodshed, though plenty, wasn't just there for show, moreover, but used nicely in the plot. Also, some characters were quite fascinating to follow.

However, the ending was what ruined this drama. First of all, it raised more questions than answers. Also, it was unsatisfying, leaving things unsolved, probably, but unlikely, hinting at a second season. Finally, nothing was explained about that final plot twist, as to how the masterminds behind the game managed to do as they did.

At least, the performances were strong by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

The theme of the drama is quite interesting, and there are a lot of crime cases that are dark and intense. The antihero twist was also nicely handled, and the performances of the main leads were strong enough to support the plot.

However, the drama suffered from its short length. Halfway through, things started getting rushed and the story didn't develop as smoothly as it should. At least the action scenes were enjoyable.

So, overall, six out of ten for the Korean Drama '' Vigilante ''.

Korean Drama '' Twinkling Watermelon '' is a slice of life, music, and fantasy drama.

The drama uses time travel to its fullest, smoothly using it to push the story forward, without forgetting about it once the plot starts unfolding. Rather, it is always there, and spices up the story here and there.

Also, the family drama was at its finest, intense enough to keep things dramatic, but also with sensitivity and sweetness throughout the family interactions.

The music, in addition, was pretty enjoyable, as were the performances by everyone in the cast. And even though the romance was cheesy and not its strongest suit, it was nice enough.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
