Japanese Drama '' Bijinesu-kon - Suki ni nattara rikon-shimasu '' is a short drama about a contracted relationship.The drama has a pretty common story, which seems popular in Japanese romantic comedies: the contracted marriage. This time around, however, probably due to the length of the drama and the limited budget (I mean, most of the settings were green screen with a few pieces of furniture), the story was messy and was rushed, especially when it came to the twists, which were quickly resolved.
The performances, on the other hand, were enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
So, overall three out of ten. The drama was predictable, but it had its moments.

Korean Drama '' Flex x Cop '' is a remake of the Russian series '' Silver Spoon '', with a Korean twist of course.The drama offers a lot of cases that the investigation team is called to solve, in their delightfully whimsical way. That way the main plot doesn't get stuffy, and the drama does indeed focus on the police enforcement, and doesn't simply give a few at the start only to excite the audience and then try to keep things interesting with unnecessary melodrama for the second half.
The main mystery case was also interesting and twisty and enhanced the drama of the characters more.
The characters, moreover, where all interesting and had smooth chemistry.
The performances, therefore, were all great and everyone did a great job with their characters.
So, overall, nine out of ten.

Korean Drama " Numbers " is an office drama with some romantic subplots to it.The drama has a predictable plot, with the underdog being mistreated in the beginning and seeking revenge as well as recognition for his talents. The bad guy was too standard and the office drama was so so.
On the other hand, the bromance between the two main leads was enjoyable and often saved the drama from being too boring to watch.
The romance was also okay, cute at times, but the side one was better and more dramatic.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast, but the two main leads were truly shinning.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Korean Drama " Delightfully Deceitful " is a crime thriller comedy about a con artist and an attorney coming together to punish those who think they are above any law.The drama does start out strongly, with the story of the main female lead being compelling and her character even more so. And truly, there were some con cases that were handled nicely and the result was enjoyable.
However, the drama quickly deteriorates, getting boring and falling into way too many tropes. Things got out of hand quite quickly and the plot got even more confusing and stuffy.
The performances at least were enjoyable.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Korean Drama " The Interest of Love " is an office melodrama.The drama is heavy when it came to the melodrama of the romance, with messy relationships and complicated heroes that didn't express their feelings to each other, often leading to frustrating situations. Hence, the story was boring and tiring to watch. The characters were annoying too, especially the main female lead who was all over the place.
The performances were, on the other hand, good enough, with the actors and actresses handling their characters nicely.
The pace was okay as well.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Korean Drama " The Glory Season 2 " is the continuation of the revenge melodrama, giving the conclusion to the story.And even though there were a lot of things happening, as the main villains started fighting back, providing some resistance to the revenge plan, the drama got messy and even, at some points, boring. They opted to focus on the romance, which was its weakest point, especially since it messed with the mood of the drama and the leads' chemistry wasn't strong enough to support it. At least, it aided to the character development of the main lead and gave her some breathing space to be more humane and less miserable.
The performances, finally, were, just like in the first season, great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Korean Drama " Tracer " is a tax invasion drama with some action and many twists.The performances of the show were spot on, especially by the leading roles, who did a great job with the characters.
The twists and criminal cases were, in addition, well handled and created the right atmosphere for the story.
However, the drama did get tedious, mostly because of the theme of the story that didn't aid it much, though the creators did try to help it by adding some intrigue and some business thriller scenes.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Korean Drama "Navillera" is a bittersweet story about an unusual friendship.The drama starts slowly, with a simple plot prompt: an elder wants to learn how to dance ballet, the ballerino who is forced to teach him doesn't really want to. From then the drama builds up the melodrama element, adding family drama here and there, a few twists, and then finally it let things come together and creates a puzzle of a heartbreaking story and a strong, warm friendship.
What, however, makes the drama even more special are the performances and the dancing scenes that were perfectly executed. The atmosphere was nicely created with the settings and a suitable soundtrack that was simple, melodic and in the background, creating a more intense drama. The pace was perfect as well and, fortunately, the drama didn't overdo it with the length and it ended when it was needed.
So, overall, nine out of ten.

" Almost famous " or " Half Celebrity " was an original drama. It shows the struggles of young actress So Ri, who is trying to be famous for seven years (I think it was seven...) and she still is living an ordinary life, even though she is starting to get recognized.The story was ambitious and it was filmed in the format of a documentary (I guess a mockumentary), however, it felt chopped, like they edited scenes together, or, rather, they spread the story too thinly. Because it was character-centered, it would have been better if they didn't add that romance story in it and they had rather focused more on her relationship with her ex band members, her career and her journey overall. Unfortunately, many things were skipped forward regarding her career and they opted for a half baked romance and an open ending, which, actually, for me at least, it fitted the personality of the main character.
For the performances, as the drama focused on So Ri, you get most of the scenes with her. The actress did a great job with every scene and she was a delight to watch. The rest of the cast was very professional and enjoyable.
So, overall, five out of ten for this webdrama.
PS I usually rate with a scale from 1 to 8 when it comes to web series

Other than that, the story was interesting, with some entertaining scenes and nice family dynamics. The small cases that the family took over in each episode were funny and kind of cute. The ending was good as well and just the perfect conclusion for this drama. However, there were moments that the drama got a bit boring. But it always managed to be entertaining in the ending.
So, good performances, kind of odd story and sometimes over the top reactions, but overall, seven out of ten.

The special effects were really good and that helped with the enjoyment of the drama. The action scenes were really good as well and the costumes, although some of them were wierd, they were nice enough and close to the ones in the anime. The performances were good as well and I especially loved the bond between the brothers that ignite the whole action.
So, overall, seven out of ten for laughing under the clouds.
