" Miss Lee " was an okay drama.

First of all, for a drama called "Miss Lee" there was not much miss lee screen time. Miss Lee had a nice role at first, with the leading lady struggling to feat into her new role as a chairman of a company that's going down. However, later on they started focusing more on the other characters than her. Also, even though the drama had a nice slice of life story with a bitter sweet ending, there was something missing, probably intensity or interesting twists. The performances were good, nevertheless, from every actor and actress in the cast.

So, overall, five out of ten.

Although you know where the story is heading, Kimi no hana, or snow flower, had a nice and cute story to present.

What I like and appreciated about this drama was the ending. It was somehow happy and they gave the whole tragic illness a better and more optemistic spin.

The love story was really cute and warm as well, even though it started a bit awkwardly. The two actors had great chemistry and their romance was somehow realistic and sweet. The performances were really good as well.

So, seven out of ten.

Broject is not like the regular global playlist dramas. It is a mystery mini series about a high school mystery case. The two friends take it up after a student's request, when a classmate of hers gets killed.

The drama, although short, managed to be thrilling and had many action scenes as well. They kept the interest high thoughout the drama too. The mystery was entertaining as well, especially since they added that twist, which was unexpected and really good. The chemistry of the two friends, in addition, was great and helped the drama a lot. The performances were excellent too.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

A web drama with few episodes and a more than just a love story theme. Sure, there is romance. But, there are also the adventures of Ji Eun, as she struggles to balance living alone and surviving her working environment. She is overall a cute character actually. Also, the small tips in the end of each episode were an interesting touch!! The love story, moreover, was really sweet and it was developed nicely, for such a short time. The performances were good as well. So, eight out of ten for this web drama.

" Melting me soflty " had potential. But, I guess, the whole buzz about it only remained on the hype about the main actor's return to the silver screen.

The drama had some nice elements in the first episodes. There was some potential about the whole freezing the main couple plot. However, the rest of the drama was boring. The story was messy, the romance forced and most of the scenes cheesy and predictable. The addition of the mystery-political trope was just not well developed and often forgotten in some episodes. Some characters, too, were annoying.

So, overall, three out of ten.

"Love at least" had stro ng performances but weak story line.

The leading lady, first of all, was astonishing good in this one. She portrayed her character to the point of perfection and she was emotional enough and tragic as well. Her partner was good too, but he was overshadowed by her.

On the other had, the plot was weak. Even though the actual story dealt with strong themes, the final plot focused more on the leading lady and less on what was actually going on and her interaction with her boyfriend.

So, overall, six out of ten.

I don't know if the manhwa is that bad, but this drama's story was. It was boring and had nothing new to offer. The love story in the first episodes was really promising and cute. The drama in the last episodes was interesting and thrilling. However, the middle part and the very last episodes were disappointing. I really wish that the plot matched the great performances from the actors. So, four out of ten, because from one point on it was pointless to keep watching it, and it left us with an "open" (?) ending.

Wok of love had only one thing going for it : food. That's it. The love story was boring, as the two characters had no chemistry and not reason to be together. The love triangle tried to spicen thing up a little, but in the end, it was a failure as well. I'm only rating this one with 3,5 stars out of 10 because of the performances that were nice and decent and because at some point, the revenge story was entertaining. Other than that, this one is a boring drama easily dropped. It didn't bring something new or at least manage to entertain as a whole. And it is a shame, because the premises of the story were promising.

" Mystic Pop-Up Bar " gave a wholesome story and managed the pace masterfully.

The drama had the main plotline, with the mysterious pop up bar owner, whose story gradually is being revealed as the drama proceeds. Apart from that, the drama added some small cases that the crew of the bar had to solve, all of them quite emotional and touching. Those cases were just enough in number to keep things interesting and not to give a tiring background story that will be repeated over and over again, as many dramas do. They also blended comedy and drama pretty well, so that the tragic stories didn't become overbearing. The big twist in the end, about who's who, was brilliant and kept the anticipations high in those last episodes. The action scenes, moreover, were well choreographed and the CGIs were excellent. Finally, the performances were top-notch, as it was expected.

So, overall, nine out of ten.

" 2gether " had a promising start, but a disappointing ending.

The idea behind the story was actually pretty good and entertaining. However, after watching it, it felt like something was missing. Call it intensity, chemistry (oddly the couple had an on and off chemistry), I can't really put my finger on it, but, the story was just mild. And then, there were the final episodes, were a total snooze fest, even though they tried to add the side couples to spice things up. Still, those side characters were underdeveloped and odd together. At least the performances were great and the main couple had the visuals.

So, overall, five out of ten, because the first part was nice, but the second was boring.

" Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim season 2 ", as a stand alone drama and without comparing it to the first season, it was okay.

The medical cases of the first part were interesting and there were some others that were emotional and touching, but that's about it. The rest of them were few and unfinished. The only character that was interesting, in addition, was Doctor Kim, of course, and probably the second couple, which, however, didn't have any solid time to have character development, or get ot know them. The main characters however, felt watered down. There were some scenes, but very very few, that showed a bit about their past, but they never really explained things about them, like why the girl was getting nausea in the operating room, or some more details about Woo Jin's family. The two didn't have any chemistry and the few romantic scenes that they shared did not help them at all. The characters, overall, where boring and too typical. The political drama was just okay. There were however some nice notes to this drama. There was some character development for doctor Kim and we got to see a more human side of him. The nostalgia with the familiar settings and well known characters helped with the entartainment of the drama too.

Now, compared to the first season, this one was not as good. The political drama was boring as we already knew the "bad" guy and it was more like been there done that. The first season had more interesting characters whom we had time to get to know, which helped a lot with the romance. The characters had chemistry too, which this season was lacking. The medical cases were better too. Finally, there was more time to get familiar with the hospital and the crew.

So, overall, and taking season one out of consideration, six out of ten.

" Gisou Furin " could have been better, but it was a bit boring.

The story started strongly, but they just kept adding cliches and the progress was slow and tiring. The couple was okay and they had some chemistry, but the drama didn't let the relationship to develop other than the first few episodes. The ending was realistic and nice enough, as it wrapped up most of the side stories and they concluded the main one too. The performances were decent as well from all the actors and actresses of the drama.

So, overall, four out of ten.

So, why two out of ten stars for this movie? Because the performances were really good so I had to give them that.

However, the story was ... hmm ... complicated. It didn't make sense most of the time and when it finally did, it just wasn't worth the two hours plus that were wasted watching it. Some of the mature scenes were, I guess, there to make it more edgy, but, for real, there were just unnecessary. The action scenes were okay and the visuals really nice, but they seemed to focus more on them than the story, which was just thinly spread through this lengthy film.

So, overall, two out of ten.

"Your imagination becomes reality" is a cute web drama.

The innocent feel of it was interesting and adorable. The couple was actually nice together and had chemistry, which helped a lot with the story. Theweb drama however was too short for the drama that they added towards the ending. The love triangle was kind of half baked as well.

But the performances were good from all the actors and actresses in the web drama and most of the pacing was well handled.

So, seven out of ten.

Risky romance is a medical drama with no medical cases. The story like to focus on the relationship between the two protagonist and to built a romance that didn't really make sense. The male lead was too violent and childish, making it hard to imagine him with the girl. His condition, moreover, was used only when needed and they just forgot about it when it wasn't aiding the plot development. The ending, in addition, was rushed and didn't conlude everyones' stories well. At least this drama wasn't boring to watch.
