original sports dramas. The performances were good and the teacher was
easy to understand and read really, even from episode number one.
Actually, the movie was more about the teacher rather than the
students, which would have created more interest, even if the students
had just a little more TV time. The sport thrill never really was
developed enough, as well. You expect the thrill of a victory in this
kind of dramas, but, unfortunately, this time, there was non. The small
stories were okay, but the first few episodes that had some comical
element in them were the ones that saved this drama that other than
that was a bit dull and the final episode seriously without point.

Korean Drama '' The Midnight Romance in Hagwon '' is a school romantic melodrama.The drama is slow paced and feels relaxing and comforting. The cinematography is soothing and the camerawork makes the viewing experience feel like the audience is peeking into the characters' lives.
The start of the drama, moreover, was nice, with the story taking its time to settle in.
However, after a while, nothing really happened. The romance was enjoyable, yes, but wasn't enough to save things, and the school drama wasn't intense enough to peek things up.
On the other hand, the performances were enjoyable by every actor and actress of the cast.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Korean Drama " Vincenzo " had a good concept but there were times that it didn't make it work.The main problem with this drama is the length. It's not only twenty episodes long, each episode also was about an hour and twenty minutes. However, the story was not for that length. Therefore, there were episodes, especially the final ones, when the story was full of fillers, unnecessary twists, and ridiculous situations that were trying too hard to be funny. The blend, though, of action, comedy, and legal themes was an interesting combination that worked for most of the cases. Most of the characters were also pretty interesting, though some of them, like the piano lady and the female lead, were annoying and it was obvious that they were written to be eccentric, but that was presented in a way that screamed try-hard. The villain was a boring character in the second half of the drama. However, it must be noted that the big twist was an innovative one and pretty entertaining.
As for the performances, everyone did a great job, especially the male lead who finally found the right character for his proper comeback after the big hit DOTS.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama "True Beauty" based on a webtoon and with a fresh and comical mood, gives a light school love story with not many surprises and a pretty basic plot.First of all, the drama nailed the atmosphere, settings and costumes for this series. The comic book shop and the girl's room, especially, were created with such detail that they were nice to watch.
The bromance was pretty entertaining as well. The two male leads had chemistry and they provided a lot of funny moments. The start of the drama was interesting as well, with some intense moments and dramatic twists. There were some funny scenes in this drama as well, and the second couple were really cute!
However, the rest of it was average. The love triangle was weak, with the second lead being interesting in her towards the middle of the length, and even then the female lead didn't seem to notice him at all. The main love story, on the other hand, was okay, but it was predictable and that twist in the end was boring and aged.
The rest of the story was also predictable and boring towards the ending.
So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

Korean Drama " Little Women " is the story of three sisters, completely different from each other, being drawn into the world of the rich and priviliged.The drama is more aesthetics and deep dialogues at times, sucrificing its plot for it, but the overall result is intense. The story is complicated, slowly being built up, revealing each characters' real self and motives. The mystery with the rooms and the suicide case were dark and unpredictable and kept things interesting. The romance, on the other hand, was moody and more of an outline in the end.
The performances, in addition, were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Korean Drama "Yumi's Cells" follows the same pattern as the one in the first season, however, this time, it fails to deliver.The drama does have good performances that save the show, as do the cute cells that do what they do best, they offer solid comedy when it's needed. They are also well-made and nicely inserted into the story.
On the other hand, the story was messy and boring. The love story was just okay, but it wasn't as original and realistic as the first one, especially due to the unnecessary drama that was added to the love story.
So, overall, 5 out of 10.

Korean Drama " Crazy Love " is a drama that has a predictable story and it almost feels like the old Korean rom coms of the past decade. The trop of the main lead dying, the crazy and rich CEO, the enemies to lovers plot twist, and the ex girlfriend storyline were all well known and used ingredients for many dramas. And yet, the drama had something fresh and comforting.The first part of the drama is funny and the dynamics of the couple spot on. And yes, it is predictable, but their chemistry is overflowing. The performances were another factor that aided the drama a lot.
Unfortunately, the second part was slower and a bit boring, but the ending wrapped things up nicely.
So, overall, 6 out of 10.
