First of all, they managed the time-traveling theme well. It didn't get confusing and it was well paced. The drama was just in enough doses to keep things interesting and just right for the love story. However, the latter felt like it needed some more time to be properly developed. The doctor's story was sideblocked into a few mentions here and there and it would have been nice if they had given that story line some more screen time. The characters should have been more in-depth presented, as the male lead had some family issues that weren't properly explored. The performances, though, were good from everyone in the cast, especially from the two main leads.
So, overall, five out of ten.

The first few episodes, with the modern era, were interesting and pretty entertaining. But, then we got back to the original story, where we rewatched pretty much what had happened in the first season. At least, this time around, the second couple had their moments and the second lead had a chance to get presented in a better way and so we could get a more in depth look of his character. The big mystery with the two leading characters was nice, but it got tiring and it was not well concluded. The couple, finally, was cute as always, but had less romantic moments in this one.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Korean Drama 'Nine Puzzle' is an investigative drama that centers around a serial killer and a complex criminal story.The latter had many suspects, characters, and twists, and the ending was intense.
However, the investigation part was boring, and the main characters didn't flow well together. The leading lady, being all quirky and dark, didn't really fit her and was not handled well. The performances, however, were all great by every actor and actress in the cast.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Korean Drama 'Bitch x Rich Season 2' takes things right off where the first season left things.The story is enjoyable, not as good as the one in the first season, but enjoyable enough. The conclusion was also satisfying and well handled. There were, however, episodes that were boring. Also, everything happened too fast, hence, the twists weren't impactful.
The performances, on the other hand, were all enjoyable by every actor and actress in the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Undercover High School '' is a school mystery thriller with a strong comedic element.The story is not that original, but the mystery is, and the comedy part was well handled, with enough funny scenes to lighten the mood. The mystery was also intriguing, it was well paced, and had smooth twists.
The romance, on the other hand, could have been omitted, as it didn't really add anything to the plot, and was half baked in the end, as the drama opted to focus more on the mystery, thankfully, and not on the love story.
Finally, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Marry You '' is a romantic comedy that utilises the trope of the Cyrano agency marriage office.The drama has a light mood and is quite sweet for the family genre. The comedy was also smooth, though not laugh-out-loud funny, and the two little kids were adorable.
Also, the romance was enjoyable enough, however, it was not well-paced. Hence, everything had to be resolved in the last minute, and the viewer never gets to relish the couple as a couple. In addition, the last episode rushed pretty much all of the plotlines and even remembered some of which were left out from pretty much the rest of the series, apart from the first episode.
Finally, the performances were all great and everyone in the cast did a good job with their characters.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' A Virtuous Business '' is a business drama about female friendship and endurance.The drama has a band of interesting characters that have nice chemistry between them, and their friendship bonds were the highlight of the drama, rather than the romance, which was okay but was left half-baked in the end. The family drama was enjoyable as well and gave some sweet and emotional moments to the plot.
In addition, the theme was original but well handled. The performances were all great as well, by everyone in the cast.
Finally, the settings, costumes, and makeup were all spot on for the time period in which the drama was taking place.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' The Trunk '' is a suspenseful mystery that, in the end, is more of a family drama rather than a mystery, as the conclusion falls flat.The drama, first of all, has spectacular cinematography, which often aids the drama as it brushes off the most of its boring parts.
Also, the performances were all great, especially from the female leading lady who was sensational and stood out.
On the other hand, and even though the story had potential, at least on paper, it was not as good as the cinematography and the performances made it look. The characters were annoying, and borderline frustrating, the story was not cohesive, and the mystery was flavourless in the end.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Hellbound Season 2 '' is the sequel to the sci-fi thriller that was quite popular on its first release.This time around, the series goes a bit darker, if that is possible, as it doesn't use the hell warriors to create horror. Rather, the battle between the cults and the human nature were the most horrifying part.
However, the drama suffered from A) the long time it took for the sequel to come out, B) the replacement of the main lead, though the new actor did a great job with his performance, and, finally, C) the short length of the drama, which meant that everything had to be moving in light speed. As a result, it was hard to connect or even to be interested in any of the multiple characters.
At least the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Korean Short Drama '' The Tyrant '' is a mini-series that serves as a side story to the movie ' The Witch ' and it unfolds into its universe.The drama is indeed short, but it manages to handle its story nicely and it progresses smoothly.
Even though there were plenty of bloody scenes, the drama somehow didn't feel that disturbing, but everything fitted well with the atmosphere, the story, and the fighting scenes.
Still, another episode would have allowed the story to breathe and not feel that tight and compact. Or maybe they shouldn't have included that many characters.
Finally, the performances were all great by every actor and actress in the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Red Swan '' is an action melodrama with a romantic twist.The drama has plenty of action scenes which were well executed and entertaining. The twists were enjoyable as well. So, the thriller part was interesting enough, with the family secrets being scandalous enough to keep things edgy.
On the other hand, the focus on the romance was not a smart choice. It occupied too much screentime that could have been used for the mystery so that it would have been better developed. Also, it just didn't fit right with the story.
The performances were, finally, good enough.
So, overall, four out of ten.
