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.

The movie had a strong cast, with two strong female leads that had nice chemistry. They delivered both on the emotional level and on the action level, which was probably the best part of the movie.
However, the plot, although it seemed strong at first, it was not presented well enough. That felt like they were degrading the whole mystery and crime case to a more simple one when it wasn't.
So, overall, four out of ten.

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. Was this review helpful to you?
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

has some Reply vibes, though they didn't focus on the representation of
the past and it's trends, rather than the story of a high school girl
and her friend, the new girl at school. The romance was pretty good,
with the love triangle having a nice conclusion. In addition, the
performances were good and they added with the progress of the drama,
though the drama started a bit slow. Finally, the 8 episodes length was
just enough for the story. So, 7 out of 10.

The main character was interesting, first of all, and probably the highlight of the drama. Her story was entertaining and original, until they added that cliche twist in the end. The romance was kind of weak too, as the two didn't have much chemistry and the love story didn't have a smooth pace. They just had a moment and that was it? Still, this was Eun woo's best performance to date. He was confident and he handled the dramatic scenes better than his other drama's. The other performances were good too.
So, overall, six out of ten, because the drama got boring and predictable.

Good Enough
Korean Drama '' Doona! '' is a romantic melodrama about a troubled celebrity who meets an ordinary man who seems to not know who she is.The drama starts off pretty great, with the story being intriguing enough to make the audience want to know more about Doona and her past as she struggles with her relationship with her ex agend, her family, her career, and her current loneliness, as she is only now starting to get to know who she is really as a person and not as an idol persona. So, her story was interesting and nicely presented, as it shows the dark side of showbiz.
On the other hand, the romance was boring. The pace of the love story was all over the place, the story too basic, and the ending more or less predictable. However, it was interesting to watch how the couple help each other grow and change.
Finally, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast, especially the main leads. The cinematography was impressive as well.
So, overall, five out of ten.

For what I liked :
The performances were excellent in all the short films. IU is proving to be a great actress, shading away the idol persona.
The second film was the best for me, although the ending was confusing. The third and fourth were okay as well.
The cinamatography was amazing in all of them
But, there were some facts that I can't overpass:
I did not enjoy the first one, as it was either too deep and I didn't get it, or too wierd.
The stories were kind of wierd full stop.
The final one, even though it was interesting when it came to the camera work and the idea, it was boring.
The second one was gorish unecessarily.
So, four out of ten for this project.
