The first of the Flower boy series is kind of cute, but gets seriously boring half way towards the end. Okay, there were some cute moments, but the romance simply drugged too long. It actually finally concluded in the very last episode, after a big cheesy twist that could have been a The Heirs rip off. The girl kind of looked too young for her role, but she was funny and good enough with her acting. The two guys were okay, though the supporting roles were better and more interesting. The romance, finally, lucked chemistry and the story got too complicated to be able to handle itself and in the end it ended up having some very silly scenes and situations. So, 3 out of 10.

A music drama about young musicians and an evil entertainment company. This one reminded me of the entertainer (come to think of it... evil CEO trying to destroy rookie band, an ambitious manager who tries to make them famous, young talented artist and of course stolen songs...hmm at least the entertainer had that law conflict). The story is about, mainly, a girl and her two childhood friends, who want to become a band. After being disqualified in a music competition, one of them joins an entertainment company, leaving everyone behind. But, after a tragic event, the band is forced to reunite again. The performances were good and I guess if you are into musical like performances, then this drama is perfect for you. The romance was good at first as well, but got seriously weak towards the end. Fortunately, its a short drama, with only twelve episodes and an old star casting. So, 4 out of 10.

I usually rate dramas with more than 5 stars if they make me addicted to them, or at least keep me interest half way. Honestly, its not a bad drama. And the story didn't really drag on and on, but I just wish it could leave a stronger appeal. The story is good. The family drama is good too, as well as the way the female lead matures and changes throughout the drama. However, the romance was weak. Plus, the girl from the past with the woman from the future failed to convince that they were the same person. I liked the humour and the college life theme, as well as the way she had to battle to get accepted from her peers. But, in the end, it was a so so drama, so 5 out of 10.

Her lovely heels is a short drama about a girl who fells in love with her colleague, after meeting him at a shoe store. They start going out secretly, but then her ex boyfriend shows up. The romance was nice enough, with the slow development and the weak love triangle. The couple, although they looked pretty good together (both very good looking) they didn't share the same amount of chemistry. Nevertheless, the ups and downs of the relationship were entertaining enough. Plus, each episode was about ten minutes long, so it didn't get boring or tiring. The soundtrack was okay, and the supporting roles did a great job to keep the interest high. Finally, the constant presentation of the shoes, though at first, it was cute, it got tiring in the end. So, my rating for this drama is 5 out of 10.

A comedy that deals with after life issues and family drama. Though the comedy part wasn't that good and eventually it was overshadowed, not to say overlapped by the family drama, the drama was quite interesting, and in a way entertaining. The story centres around two men, who have died and come back in different bodies, one as a successful young man and the other as a young woman. Okay, first, the positives of this drama: -the leading lady was amazing in her role as a man reincarnated in a woman's body. Her role was comical as well as dynamic, and she was really good in acting with her "ex lover". -some parts were funny -the family dynamics were really touching Now, for the negative: -the final episode was so-so with the main characters just ending their mission -the guy's obsession with his wife. I mean, from one point on, it was tiring -the twists were unnecessary So, all in all, a so-so drama, so 5 out of 10.

You'll think that it will be a struggle for a vampire to be a doctor, let alone a sergeant. And yet, in blood, most of the doctors working in the hospital are vampires. Okay, they are not called vampires, but the infected by an uncured various that has similar effects just like a vampire. Even though its twenty episodes long, the plot don't let the drama get boring and keeps the interest high even till the very end. The blood scenes were a little too much, but bearable, though the romance was mild. The hospital politics and that villain doctor and his plots were very entertaining. However, I really didn't like the ending, as it was confusing, because of the very last scene. So, 6 out of 10.

Mirror of the witch started strong, but the twist upon twist just got the best out of it. So the story is based on many fairy tales at first, but sticks to its own main story for the rest of the series. The twists are plenty and that makes Mirror of the Witch a rich in thrill and suspense drama. However, those twists end up being repeated way too many times and that makes it tiring to watch. Needless to say, you will end up hating the witch, though the script doesn't try enough to give her a better in depth look into her story and her character. The story, moreover, gets confusing, with too many characters and action that is hard to keep up. And the romance wasn't that strong, though Mirror of the Witch doesn't relay so much on it. Finally, the ending was good, even though the last scene wasn't explained enough and leaves you with many questions. But the performances were great and the whole drama gets you into the atmosphere of the empire era so 5 out of 10.

I was waiting for the leading lady's comeback since oh my ghost. And though the beginning of this drama was a killer, the ending lost most of its charm and ended up a cheesy rom com. Thankfully, there was the serial killer case that at least kept it refreshing and interesting. Honestly, the main idea of a girl having the super power of strength kind of scared me off this drama, especially after having watched weight lifting fairy straight before it (felt like a rip off). However, I gave in and watched the first episode and I was immediately hooked. The girl was very cute, the guy funny, the second lead interesting and the serial killer case thrilling. That was until they became a couple. The drama shifted its attention from the girl's powers and quest of justice to the development of the romance. Okay, the couple was cute together, but some more twists on the criminal case would have been nice. One other thing that bothered me about this drama was the constant advertisements. Most of the dramas do it smoothly and some of them even hide them so good that you can't tell if they are promoting a product or not. But this one just had some unnecessary scenes simply for the purpose of advertising. If that had happened once or twice, it would have been tolerated, but there were scenes in most of the episodes. So, 6 out of 10.

This drama is not one of those TV series that will capture your interest from the very first episode. Actually, the story is quite predictable. So why watch it? Well, I guess the performances are really good, and that's a reason by itself. The actors are quite refreshing and funny, giving a youthful vibe to the drama. But what about the story? Well, the drama is about a girl who is being compared to her beautiful and successful sister, even by her parents. That's the main idea, but, the second half of the drama focuses on her neighbour, who tries to find a boy who was kidnapped twenty years ago, and his rich grandmother never stopped searching for him. The good part is that there are some funny moments, and some scenes are cute and entertaining. Though the romance is so-so, the love triangle isn't boring, which is a relief. In addition, the ending held a twist, and that gave a nice note to it, as most of the final episodes of the K dramas are usually boring, due to the fact that the story has ended in the previous episode. So, 6 out of 10.

My unfortunate boyfriend is an easy drama. Well, first of all, its not actually a drama. Is a light comedy, with romance and a little of a power game. The story is about a guy, who's all kind hearted to the point of being foolish, and a girl, who lies and cheats in order to get what she wants. The romance is quite sweet, with a nice enough love triangle. The first episode was almost idiotic, however, fortunately, the rest of the drama is quite entertaining and fast paced and it doesn't repeat the flash backs and the background story too much to make it unbearable. The quick story line is one of the positives of this drama, in addition to the easy story and the cute atmosphere. All in all, a nice drama to spent some relaxing hours watching it.

Here for the cute boy in the dinosaur costume!! Kidding, truly, I wanted to try out the U prince series, since they are so popular. So, here are my thoughts:
as soon as you overpass the cultural shock, mainly the language (this is my first Tai drama and the language sounded a little odd at the begining, but had the same feeling with japanese dramas as well), you can enjoy this drama. The story is a bit silly, but cute. The boy is seriously adorable and funny, the girl not so much, as she tends to be annoying, well, that until she gets to know the boy better. The performances were okay, the settings quite beautiful, made me want to be on a beach on a summer day... Overall, a nice drama, though it got a little boring towards the end. But, it's only 4 episodes long, so maybe I'll try another U prince drama soon!!

An unexpected drama that lives up to it's expectations. No wonder why it is still on the "hot to watch" lists even though it ended months ago! All in all, I really loved the girl's story, though I did find some disadvantages. First of all, the coming "back" from the future didn't really work, though it was forgotten after the second episode and it was only revisited in the last episode. Also, the comic acts were not that good, and they made the drama a little silly. Plus, the romance was strong, but I felt that the chemistry was lucking, though I did like the fact that she didn't develop feelings for the prince from the start, as it would have made the drama dull (twenty episodes long already it would have been tiring to watch if the romance had started from episode four!). Another thing that is only my personal opinion is that the male lead didn't work for me. As I'm not his biggest fan, I didn't quite identify with the romance, as he looked rather cruel at times and like a child in others, not to mention the "You are only mine" possessiveness didn't work for me at all! However, I did enjoy this drama. The performances were okay (the first episodes were a little awkward though), the costumes and the settings were breathtaking and the action and royal twists were enough to keep the interest high till the very end. Another plus was that the lead lady's character was well developed, as you could she her growing up from a bold girl to a respected head court lady. So, 8 out of 10.

It's the catchy story that will make you watch this drama. However, there is more to this drama than the twin sister story. Sure, it's interesting to see if she will get caught and how she manages to survive in a world that's far from the one she grew up into. But the main interest is the bulling. In this drama, it is handled carefully. showing all the forms that is can take and all its results. And for me, that was the best part of the drama. The love story, actually the love triangle that it develops between the girl, her sister's best friend, and the outcast of her high school, is really good, but it fails to be completed, as the final episode leaves you a little confused. Also, the production didn't handle well the presense of the two girl simultaneously in the same place. But, other than that, it's a good drama, with quick pace and interesting theme.
