Had potentials but lacked something along the way!!!
Episodes 1 to 4 were hands-down the best! The fight scenes had real intensity, and the male leadâs emotions were everywhere. In these episodes, EuiGyeomâs desperate struggle for survival was clear, his ability to learn his opponentâs moves added flair to the drama, making every fight feel meaningful and purposeful.
The masked era felt like it came and went in the blink of an eye, I expected more battles and hidden identities, but it ended too fast, leaving a sense of loss.
The worst father of the year? Absolutely. He treated EuiGyeom just like his own father treated him, despite losing a child. Youâd think heâd be more lenient, but nope! His mother wasnât much better, she stood by and watched her eldest son suffer, but at least she came through for the younger one. Maybe thatâs a step toward redemption?
EuiGyeom endured torment from his brother, father, and grandfather, which took a serious toll on his mental health. Fighting was his only release, and he did it brilliantly.
The SML, he seemed like heâd be the stronger one, but in the end, he lacked the will and ability that his early portrayal promised.
Some fights were just unnecessary, like the one with the guy in the cap. His presence felt pointless, like they were stretching out the story for no real reason.
There were some golden moments too. One scene in 8 was so wholesome, the way he looked at his father before stomping on the bad guyâs leg was perfect. And during the fight, the transition showing everyone who had ever angered him? Masterful.
But wasnât the trip supposed to be a rehab? Instead, it was more like a survival ground for a high school student battling mental health issues. Are they hinting at a Season 2 with this?
Overall, Episodes 1â4 were peak storytelling. I might just pretend 5 and 6 never happened, but the backstory in 7 was solid, and 8 was passable. If they had kept the intensity of those first four episodes, this couldâve been a truly great drama!

Dropped !!! Misleading title
Lol, Ms. Incognito is such a misleading title. If they had just called it Good Woman BuSeMi, I wouldnât have even bothered watching. With Kdramas, the title usually gives you a clear idea of what youâre signing up for!The first two episodes were solid, I was hooked and thought the show would keep that same energy. But episodes 3 to 7? Total brain reset. Thatâs when I remembered the golden rule: never judge a Kdrama until youâve reached episode 8.
Now letâs talk about the characters:
1. BuSeMi started off strong bodyguard vibes, cool energy. Then suddenly sheâs acting like a helpless princess. Meh. Iâve seen her in other dramas and her acting just doesnât hit. Her facial expressions donât help either. And that whole âmoving to a small town with a silly storylineâ twist? Not in my plans.
2. DongMin is another one Iâve seen before, but somethingâs always missing. His character feels flat. Unless they randomly reveal heâs the chairmanâs son (which would be pointless), heâs just taking up space.
3. HyeJi: whew. Her voice alone had me skipping every scene she was in. The character is badly written and her behavior is just cringe. Totally unnecessary.
The comedy in this drama makes no sense. It doesnât fit the story at all. And itâs not even good comedy, itâs the kind that makes adults look ridiculous. I swear, some Korean dramas live for that awkward humor.
Itâs only 12 episodes, but they wasted half of them in a small town doing nothing. I can already tell theyâll rush the ending to make up for lost time.
And the chemistry between the leads? Non-existent. Fans are hyping it like itâs sizzling, but Iâm sitting here wondering if we watched the same show.
Anyway, Iâm officially adding this one to my 2025 list of disappointing dramas, right next to Buried Hearts, WTSG, and a few other flops.

NEVER KNEW DISABILITY CAME WITH DUMBNESS
My blood pressure skyrocketed watching this drama! I get that they wanted to stretch the story, but the plot was ridiculously unrealistic!
Who goes home knowing a serial killer has their address AND was just set free?! No way a group of trained soldiers would hand over a panicked woman back to a guy like that! And the crowd? Not one person thought to call the police? Be serious. No police force would let a key witness walk away without questioning them in a murder case!
Such a waste of phenomenal actors on a frustratingly absurd storyline. And don't get me started on the second lead his slowness drained my patience!
Cooling off with a solid drama now before my blood pressure hits new heights! đ¤đĽ

Watch for the law cases!!
Easily one of the strongest law dramas out there, those case files were chefâs kiss đ¨đžââď¸. Each one brought a fresh angle that kept you locked in, episode after episode.The cast? Stellar across the board. From the leads to the background players, everyone pulled their weight. And the way their personal stories added emotional depth without hijacking the legal plot? Perfect balance. No unnecessary drama, just layered storytelling done right.
But If theyâd leaned harder into the legal storyline instead of juggling to find a bal in the first lead rom dynamics, we mightâve gotten a stronger final case or even a more satisfying ending overall. Ms. Kwonâs scenes felt like they were plucked from a whole other drama đ. Beautiful, yes, but the integration was off. That arc couldâve been the ending, honestly!
Now the second lead romance? Chefâs kiss. Thatâs how you do it age appropriate, emotionally grounded, and woven in without hijacking the plot.

Beautiful story
Historical dramas arenât really my thing, I doubt Iâve even watched up to 10 of them! But I Loved it, I probably wonât rewatch because of the length, but itâs definitely earned a special spot in my historical Kdrama collection. Every character was amazing, even the evil spirits!The story, pace was beautifully done! The comic blended so beautifully too!!
The standout performances come from Yeo-ri, Imugi, and the King, who carry the show with their compelling character arcs.
The Kingâs growth, the tragic backstory of the spirits, and the dynamic between the leads make this drama emotionally gripping. Even the supernatural elements feel deeply personal, making the ghosts more than just horror props, they had stories, regrets, and unfinished business to settle!
This drama is more than just a ghost story, itâs a story about betrayal, family, redemption, and the weight of history. Is it supernatural, comic or historical tale youâre interested in THP haas everything in stock for you.

Predictable, slow, dragging, not thrilling!!
Nine Puzzles had a solid concept and a decent storyline, but it was painfully slow, uneventful, and dragged way too much. The only reason I stuck around was to confirm the killer who was already obvious and uncover the backstory.Each episode felt like a chore, leaving me with a tight, uneasy feeling, but I powered through (and no, itâs not about my taste, Iâve watched Doubt and other thrillers). The FL didnât click, and as for the ML, my second drama of his, and Iâm still not sold.
For a psychological investigative thriller, it lacked any real thrill. A drama stuffed with A-list actors doesnât automatically make it good. And can they stop making the killer the most obvious choice by giving them barely any screen time or storyline?
The one scene that stood out? The ending? her choice with the fire was bold! The leads? Completely forgettable. If thereâs a S2, they need a major revamp or just scrap it altogether.
A 7/10 for me, but definitely a one-time watch.

Hype â Quality: A Disappointing Drama That Proves Popularity Isnât Talent
I had high hopes for this one mainly because of JCW. And did he try? Absolutely. But even his best couldnât stop this drama from spiraling.Episodes 1â4 had me hooked, solid acting, promising storytelling. But the moment they introduced those random Squid Game-esque scenes, I knew we were headed downhill. It was unnecessary and jarring. The rest of the show felt like a slow unravel. Chemistry? Missing. The writing? Lost steam halfway through. And donât get me started on the villain, zero aura, zero menace. He looked like he was about to laugh in serious scenes, and in others, he just looked⌠bored. Compared to the rest of the cast, he felt like a baby villain trying to play dress-up.Another one added to my âmost disappointing Kdramas of the yearâ list. What a waste of potential.

Itâs a rom-com the hype is going to be high
Yoona really needs to work on her facial expressions. I barely paid her any mind in K2 and King the Land but here her face was stuck on default mode, same look, different scene đ. Like maâam, blink twice if youâre feeling something!
And letâs be real: give Kdrama fans a rom-com with a happy ending and theyâll be the happiest people alive. I get that itâs a fantasy drama, but that ending? Ehn⌠it was just there. No emotional punch, just vibes.
Now ChaeMin his crying face? Unintentionally hilarious đ. I legit burst out laughing. He tried, bless him, but playing a tyrant isnât his strong suit. He can still work on it tho!!
Best episode? The Ming cook one đ˛đĽ. The food reactions were top-tier, those scenes actually gave life. ChaeMinâs got potential!
Also, someone cast Yoona as a full-blown psycho already. I want to see her go full chaos mode, smiling while plotting & giving villain energy. Let her break out of the pretty-girl box and show us range!
it was nice tho but the food episodes wer the best scenes!!

HAD POTENTIAL BUT THE END F IT UP
The story started so well with exciting and memorable scenes!! The switched between a shaman and a student was exciting then the ML story was also good!!But at the end, kdrama have an obsession with redemption arc, and whitewashing characters!! let villains be villains!! The mother dying in replace of YeonHwa was so unnecessary!!
Episode 11 and 12 were really disappointing and so unnecessary!! The writer must misplaced her original script cause wtf?? From a dumb boy to a ghost Hunter and a boring episode, what a bleh!!
BongSu story was overstretched and it became unnecessary boring and lost interest!!
Anyways it had potentials but letâs blame the writers and the people that acccepted the last episodes!!

GOOD BUT SOME SAD ENDING WOULD HAVE MADE IT BETTER!!!
I love them the mothers so much, like seriously they were my absolute faves in the drama! The way they never judged each other and always had each other's backs? I ate that up. And taking their friendship all the way to in-laws? That was the cherry on top for me!I still feel like they tried to sugarcoat HoSuâs situation just to avoid giving him a sad ending, especially with his ear condition. But even with all that, his character was still so beautiful and touching.
MiJi acted like a baby in some scenes, but regardless, seeing her go back to college was actually sweet! The actor really did a great job bringing her character to life.
I really loved MiRae and SeJin relationship, and I was so happy SeJin came back from America. But honestly, I never understood why they let him leave in the first place, his farm was doing so well!
MiRae quitting her job was honestly the best decision she made. Staying back in her hometown? Loved that too! What really hit for me was how her relationship wasnât about romance, it was about healing. Thatâs exactly what she needed, cause sis had to rediscover herself from scratch.
That scene in episode 11 where HoSuâs mom gave him a reality check? Iconic! Like, why choose to be alone in this world when you can literally grab the girl and hold on tight? She really had to drag the sense back into him!
That scene were HoSu went to visit his mom in workplace, meant everything to HoSuâs mom, you could practically feel her heart pounding. Seeing her son show up at her workplace gave her so much comfort and hope. It was a moment she really needed.
I really feel like they watered down her situation too, just to make things look nicer. But honestly, that scene could give people with dyslexia a little more hope and I love that. The moment she found a family in HoSu and MiJi? That was the true heart of her story for me.
Overall, it was a really good drama and honestly, it had the potential to be the best! Episodes 1 to 8 were my absolute favorites, they just hit different. And shoutout to every actor each one did an amazing job breathing life into their character!

MELODRAMATIC BUT BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH
The drama delves into themes of love, regret, and the passage of time. It portrays the emotional turmoil of rekindling a past romance and the impact of unresolved feelings on current relationships. The series also highlights the cultural differences between Korea and Japan, adding depth to the charactersâ struggles1. Iâve never been a fan of melodramas, but Episode 1 had me hooked, and thankfully, every episode lived up to my expectations! The fact that she learned Japanese just for this drama already makes LSY one of my favorites.âWas this review helpful to you?
EVERY STORY DESERVES TO BE TOLD!!!
Every story deserves to be told. Every problem deserves to be seen and understood because thatâs how we enlighten people about whatâs really happening. Yes, domestic abuse is a serious issue, but that doesnât mean we should stop sharing these stories. Too many people still feel like theyâre suffering alone. The more we speak up, the more we remind them: youâre not the only one, and youâre not invisible.Drama review:
Everyone delivered seriously, I loved every bit of it!! That scene where the officer snatched the cap off that clueless detective head so the press could get a clear shot of her face? Iconic. We need more stories like this. Domestic violence survivors deserve to know theyâre not alone. Sometimes, all it takes is one brave person or one decisive moment to change everything. Keep speaking up. Keep walking forward.

ONE TRACK NARRATIVE
This drama just proves that no matter how skilled and professional a woman is, an amateur man can still somehow be positioned as a worthy opponent.
A teacher clashing with a student? Sure, heâs a bad guy, but that kind of dynamic feels forced especially when the teacher in question is a professor *and* a boxer??
The story itself lacks any real depth, just a predictable, one-track narrative. Good actors, but nothing particularly memorable!
She should have beaten his side guys too or maybe someone else!! Donât know why kdrama are fond of wasting good casts!

SHORT BUT INTENSE
Found out about this movie after seeing that the drama sequel will be released in May 2025!
The movie is short but intense and I loved it!! The zeal and emotion of the boy was amazing! No one should stay bullied for that long too!!
Because itâs a movie the full story wasnât told and Iâm happy weâre getting a drama version which will have more plot and storyline!!
Hopefully, all cast members will still be there, cause they all did amazingly well!!
I canât also wait to watch Do-Hyunâs get his own revenge and more of WooLsun fight!!
It was a good drama đ

AN UNTOLD STORY OF THE STUDY GANG
Study Group" is a webtoon adaptation of the same title. While Iâm not typically a fan of bullying dramas, this one stood out because it featured the protagonist frequently getting the better of the antagonist.
Positives:
Great Casting: The actors did an exceptional job, and the chemistry among the characters was evident. The visuals were top tier, and I believe the OST was good too.
Intriguing Backstories: I loved how the backstories were initiated and told. Each story had its unique way of adding spice to each episode, and I was always looking forward to them.
Perfect Character Development: The character development was well-executed, making the drama more exciting to watch.
You'd think you'd had so much fun with one episode, but the next episode would leave you with a new type of excitement! However, I didn't like the fact that Hong Min Gi had little screen time.
Negatives:
HanUI's Character: Let's talk about HanUI,I doubt if he can be saved or if he even wants to be saved. His character was so chilled and cool too.
Final Fight Scene: I didn't like the last fight between GaMin and HanUI. It was too basic compared to the initial fights from previous episodes and had way too many cartoon effects, making it look unrealistic (even though I know it's a webtoon).
In conclusion, Study Group was an exceptional drama overall, with a great cast and a beautiful storyline.
