Salon de holmes
It started the way I thought I would rate it 7/10 but with every episode it got better, at some point I thought about 10/10 but 9/10 is very good rating and pretty fair.I feel like it could work with one or two more episodes better.
All in all it was nothing what I expected, it was darker but at the same time had many comedic moments (also some scary - at least ghost/nightmares were, or maybe it was just me watching it before sleeping)
To sum up drama in general, there is everything - sad and happy moments, funny ones, scary and intence - so yeah totally worth watching. Actors were great, story was good, there is also a chance for second season (but still work without).
My reason for watching - Kim Sihyeon (my everglow girl!! go listen to their songs!!!) - she did great, I am happy that she was in almost every episode even if only for a short scene, I hope she gets new acting offers soon (if there will be second season - let's give her more screentime and invite the rest of group).
My only what if/or I wish of was some more romance, like Kim Da Som and Lee Jae Kyoon would make such a nice duo.
Hmm as far as I know there is no site with good subtitiles though, if you are fluent in english and know some korean words I think that you will work with what is avaiable, maybe someday there will be better translation - but still worth trying.

Melo movie
Well Park Bo Young is the main lead - of course that I would watch this. And of course I love her here - maybe not my favourite role but still really like her, a little something different, more bossy? Her character is like mix of Doom at your service (where's SIG to take cigarettes away as PBY did for him?!) and Daily dose of sunshine. Love her friendship with Cha Woo Min - he actually was a highlight of the drama.Chemistry with Choi Woo Shik was cute - maybe more as friends to be honest but at the same time there are two kiss scenes which simply are one of my favourite from her - like Days and this have the best kisses in my opinion. Also his scene at the beginning - I need him in action like that
About second couple - hmm I was not really into it, not bad, they have a lot of good scenes - spoiler - I do think that the way they ended was pretty realistic although at the same time I think that in the future they would be friends again, maybe not lovers but still they would be close.
There were some really funny scenes but also a lot of sad, so if you think that you will not cry and it is easy to watch, then you would be dissapointed - but that is what made me like this more. The biggest problem this drama shows is miscommunication or just lack of communication.
Also visuals/colors/aesthethic of this was soo beautiful.
The only thing that bothered me a lot was how much they were smoking.
In conclusion - I am probably a little biased cause PBY is in it and since the beginning I wanted to like it, I considered if it should be 7/10 and I did not feel good with this rating, that is why it is 8/10, personally it was fun,healing and worth watching.

Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938
When there were rumours about second seasons, I did not believe them - good they proved me wrong, I hope that they will do the same about third season.I do not know if some thing in this sentence count as spoilers - I love Jo Bo Ah's cameos, wish she had more scenes, love the acting - especially Lee Dong Wook, love Kim Bum's character love story but Kim So Yeon's character annoyed me a little.
It was good drama, after rating Tale of the nine taield 10/10 it is suprising that I rated this so low (not really, 7/10 is still a good rate), especially when I was hyped after teasers. So what went wrong? - well it is fully my fault, after view episodes of this The uncanny counter season 2 started getting released. I was simply more hyped up about TUC and I do not enjoyed Tale of the nine-tailed 1938 as much as I could. So yes, it is still a very good drama but I just watched in wrong time.

SUGA: Road to D-DAY
Must have if you like BTS, if you are Suga solo stan or if you like documentaries about musicians.I have watched it - and rated so high, usually I rate this type of productions 6/10 - bacause Suga is my ult bias in BTS and one of my favourite soloist.
This movie shows how hard creating music can be, that it is not the easiest path in the world and there are always some struggles - even if there is also a lot of happiness.

SM Culture Universe: Aespa
I do not remember much of this but I do remember that I liked it. Only 3 episodes and the short ones - so perfect to binge-watch and if you like aespa then it is a must, especially for their lore in the beginning. There is also an animation part so it is a fun thing to watch.Giselle is really good and they can promote her as an actress - I would love to see her and Krystal in one drama.

Love alarm
Go Minsi, Song Kang, Kim So Hyun - love this trio as actors, but all of actors here did really good job, I just have watched trio in other dramas.First thing which I have to say is - IT WAS CLEAR FROM FIRST EPISODE WITH WHO SHE WILL END UP- so I do not understand why people act as it was so suprising.
It is quite cute drama, I like it - I would not rate it as high if I did not.
But to be honest I do believe that they should just make it one season drama instead of splitting it in two seasons - waiting was just unneccessary.

Crazy love
I had hard time with deciding to watch it, still happy that in the end I choosed to give it a chance. It is typical rom-com while actually not at all. There is mistery, comedy, cute scenes - not boring at all and very chaotic. Krystal played perfectly and her chemistry with Kim Jae Wook was great.Even my mother watched this - in two days, eventhought that she had work during that time, sleep was not as important as to watch this and she is not someone who will choose a kdrama to watch.
Definitely worth watching.

Buried hearts
This review will have a lot of spoilers, maybe not at the beginning but still, read only if spoilers do not bother you (as me), I will not put more warning about it.It was one of my most anticipated dramas from 2025 and in general it did not dissapoint, maybe I am not the biggest fun of ending (more later) but as whole I had really good time and that is the reason why I could not rate it lower than 8/10. Sometimes it is a little like Vincenzo 2.0. but family version.
Park Hyung Sik - once again in badass role but not cute badass like in Happiness but psycho badass (which makes me even more hyped for Twelve - as if I was not already since PHS will be there and my favourite Seo In Guk), some of his decisions do not make any sense, also I feel like in the end he could find friendly ground with his father......I loved his chemistry with HHY (yes, I liked them as couple, wished more), also ending showed that revenge did not make him happy at all, quite opposite unfortunately
Hong Hwa Yeon - she was cute, chemistry was on point (even with KSH) and she also had every right to seek revenge, I feel like I am one of few people who liked her and liked main couple
Lee Hae Young - his acting was sooo good, I see him as gray character (well most of them was like that), I think that his sacrifice made perfect sense
Yoon Sang Hyeon - I do not know why but I thought he might be into boys.....his fate did not make sense that way, SPOILERS: if he was the one who jumped it would make more sense or if it was CWM's mother...............
Cha Woo Min - I was so happy when I saw him but to be honest I feel like they destroyed his character, him and PHS and YSH would have made perfect bro trio (wasted opportunity), I do not see any justification why his character should go villain (maybe a little toward YSH's mother but not him), especially since he was such sweet at the beginning (so yeah maybe some sense was to make him go that way, but I prefered not), his curly hair in episode 10 were great!
Kwon Soo Hyun - I expected him to go against his uncle, more frenemies with PHS at the end ( and I am happy about it), it was nice to see him acting again
Huh Joon Ho, Kim Jung Nan and Do Ji Won in my opinion were the biggest villains and if really bad things happened to them I would no complain but well
ENDING - if last episode cut after family dinner it would be great, if it ended after the kiss it would be great, in general if it ended the way it ended it would be great but not this f*cking scene with pushing YSH, the only thing I really did not like, simply this happening other way would make more sense for me than this one
To sum up - if not the ending I would probably rate 9/10 but still it was really good (maybe it would be better to make all episodes out one day or release 8 episodes one week and next week rest or if it was 12 episodes?), still in my opinion worth watching, cause acting was amazing!!!

Newtopia
I need to say that Jisoo is one of my favourite idols, so many people may think I am biased - still it is my first drama with her. So she was my first reason to watch this,second was zombies (yeah, it is weird combination of choices). Well after explaining myself I will go into drama's details,cause I do loved it and in my opinion any lower rating would not be fair - it started with 7/10 but with every next episode (especially since 6 it was becoming higher and darker) - I really had great time and waiting for next week was hard (eventhough I watched other good dramas in the meantime).Jisoo - in my opinion she played really well, she portrayed perfectly bubble and stressed side of character - especially episode 6 (spoiler - traumatic). Her chemistry was cute with Park Jeong Min (I wished they had more scenes together, so yeah give them season 2!). Also now I need her to act with Lee Hak Joo - yes it can be survival again or maybe spy/criminal - I just need them as a couple! Also his character was perfect, I wished he stayed longer. Spoiler - also the one who turned into zombie but survive so long because of alcohol whose name they did not know (yeah, I also do not know and could not match actor......shame on me) - he was also great, he could play Jisoo's brother in some drama! Sad part - unfortunately team Jisoo did not survive - and it was really great team, they did everything to protect her. Kang Young Seok's character was annyoing but he cared and tried to keep her alive - and did not deserved what happened.
Kim Joon Han - amazing! Hong Seo Hee - great female strong character!!! Team Park Jeong Min was also great, I am really happy that most of tchem stayed alive. To sum up - I just love the cast and the characters.
Episode 6 & 7 - were soo good. Episode 8 - when she was running away from man, it was actually scary, like there was no way to not be stressed if she will survive - I felt like I was watching some scene from The last of us (my favourite game), I was as stressed when Ellie was running from canibal. It was stressful, there was moment where I thought that it will really end the sad way. Also I am curious if Jisoo's character was seeing ghosts or just too much stress and she was imaging things, it seems like that and would make sense actually.The only thing I wished that happened was a kiss!!
Zombies are so well done like it is actually crazy to see them having half of body and still being dangerous. And since it is a zombie series there is need to be a little gore. It also seems that the only way to become a zombie is when they bite you.
Some behaviours were stupid or illogical but they actually made sense - we also would not act rational if suddenly there was zombie's attack.
There are a lot of happy and funny scenes (COMEDY) and a lot of sad, traumatic and dark (episode 6, Alex, guy without name, episode 7) and a lot really a lot of gore (do not eat during watching, and if you are sensitive for this stuff just do not watch) - it is like a mix of Resident evil (game - in terms of bleh) with Zombieland (comedy). In my opinion it was well balanced, cause it was really dark, especially second half. Effects were great, in general visually it is so well made.
Yeah I just loved it!!! Now I need edits with zombie by everglow (my ultimate group, dark parts would fit really well to this song - also #everglowdeservesbetter) and maybe by Purple kiss for comedy parts.
To really sum up - in my opinion it is really great zombie drama, something different than usual, my rating is high but I really like it that much, worth giving a chance especially now when all episodes are out.

Our unwitten Seoul
Park Bo Young is in it so there was no way no to watch it.This is rather calm drama, daily type, pretty simple plot but at the same shows perfectly how people can suffer. Eventhougth episodes were pretty long it was so easy to watch.
PBY is amazing here, maybe it is not something totally out of her range - I need to see her playing a villain, but she perfectly shows harder emotions and it was amazing cause she perfectly potrayed two different characters - I am amazed. Her mother was sometimes annoying but at the same time she wanted to be good mother, Grandma was the best! Also PBY's chemistry with everyone was soo good:
- Park Jin Young - so cute, they were really adorable, he gone trough so much and still was so lovely, also his mother is an angel
- Ryu Kyung Soo - OMG why they did not kiss?! they were my fav duo and I wished we got more with them, he was so funny and at the same time adorable and goofy, love him
- Moon Dong Hyeok - yes I know they played friends but they still had great chemistry and I can totally see them playing as couple in other drama
All guys above played great, I love their different personalities, all green flags.
Also I just cannot mentioned her - restaurant owner - love her story.
In general I try to talk more about actors than plot, simply because I do not want to spoil something by acciddent - so story is good, calm, perfect when you need to relax, acting amazing, long episodes (if you prefer short then you can have a little hard time but really worth checking). Yes, just amazing drama.

The trauma code: Hereos on call
Hmmm medical genius as House but without dr*gs and more badass. Acting was on point, I love how Ju Ji Hoon's character created his team. If it was with romance then I would love to see it between Ha Young's and Jeong Jae Kwang's charactes. Choo Young Woo did great job here, I only knew him from Once upon a small town where his role was not the best - although still medical (but for animals).I really love how they potrayed how difficult and important are medical jobs, how stressed and tired they are and at the same time no really supported.
It was good show, there are high chances that there will be more seasons - but it ended well.
!!! WARNING !!!! - if you do not like medical stuff, insides, blood, surgeries etc. DO NOT WATCH IT!!! No matter how good it is, it will be hard to watch if you do not like such things.

Brewing love
I love Kim Sejeong - she is amazing singer (we got new OST song!!!) and actress - so of course I had to watch this. Her character is cute and badass, for many people mix of Do Hana and Shin Hari, maybe at the beginning, before we got to know her more. Chemistry as always is great. Lee Jong Won - it is first drama where I see him and he was really good. Baek Sung Chul - I know him from Once upon a small town (he safed it for me) - after shooting scene I believe that he would play perfectly some criminal or psycho and I need it to happen. Shin Do Hyun - I know her from Doom at your service, I also like her character here and chemistry with BSC was great.I think that many people believed that it would be more similar to Business Proposal - it is also cute and light, but it is more like Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, we have cringe, cuteness overload but also some dark (BSC's past and trauma) and sad moments (grandma - eventhough I expected that).
Main point of this drama - outside of making beer - was to show how people hide behind masks, pretend to be happy when they actually want to cry and that they do not have to.
Personally I really like this and I think it is worth giving a chance.

My demon
EDIT: After long consideration (really long cause after over the year and the fact that I liked Genie, make a wish basically the same) I have to change my rating to 8/10 (eh I hate it when I change my mind but well)First thing: Song Kang's character is Doom at your service couple's son! In general this drama reminded me about DAYS and that is one of the reasons I have watched this.
Chemistry was good.
Jo Hye Joo - she reminds me Shuhua from G-idle - her character was soo annoying, I only liked her in last episode. But do not get me wrong, cast did really good job.
Spoiler - there is a happy ending - if someone only watch this type of drama.
If you like drama with non-human--human romance then yes, you have to give it a chance.

J-Hope in the box
Well I usually rate this type of productions 6/10, something must have stand out that I rated it higher. I have watched it because I was starting to listen more of BTS, members started solo careers and I just had to watch their movies. There is just no way to say that they had it all easy and seeing how they grow as artists is a really nice thing - so if you are fan of group, solo stan or just like this type of documenteries then it is a must have.Was this review helpful to you?
W - Two worlds
In my opinion plot for this drama was really something new. It is really a fun fantasy drama, there is, action, romance but also a time for crying. I am happy with the ending, Chemistry between Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo was perfect, I really like them as a couple. Cast's acting was also on point and many characters were likeable.Was this review helpful to you?
