Tastefully yours
It is good, light (mostly, cause two last episodes were rather on sad note) drama, I considered rating 8/10 because of last two episodes but in the end 7/10 seems fair. It gives a little Business Proposal vibe.Plot is pretty simple and easy to follow, it would be good choice if you are looking for something light just because you prefer this genre or because you want something like that in the meantime for darker choices. Big advantage that episodes are only 1 hour long and there are only 10, it was perfect amount in my opinion.
My biggest problem was timing, like at the beginning I had hard time to follow how much time actuallu passed, other than that it was good. Note - mother is a b*tch (sorry not sorry), she should cared more about her family.
Characters/actors:
Go Min Si - my reason to watch this, but her character was not my favourite, it was better when we learn her past but still nowhere at the top, also I had really hard time to get used to her with bangs
Kang Ha Neul - at the beginning I thought that it will be the drama where I will dislike main character bbut he grew on me, his smile is contagious, I liked his development
Chemistry between main characters was good, I was happy with romance but - probably unpopular - I much more liked chemistry (potential) between KHN and Hong Hwa Yeon ( she stole a show a little in my opinion) - and now I need drama where they will play couple (some enemies or rivals to lovers)
Park Ji Hoon - cameo was great, especially with the fact that it was basically a little Weak hero class cast reunion - the last scene with Yoo Soo Bin was perfect easter egg.
To sum up, worth giving a chance.

Reincarnation love
Since it is an advertisement I can not rate it higher but it is a really good one (especially if you compare it to Office Romance Recipe, where I loved Kim Se Jeong. Business Proposal but it was not as well made). In general I really like Go Min Si and I like when actors reunite (as 2025 there is big chance that GMS and Lee Do Hyun will reunite again; so I hope that GMS will reunite with Song Kang when he finish his military enlistment.Also plot of this could work really well for a movie or short kdrama (for example 6 episodes).
To sum up - yes, it is good, short and you can watch it on youtube.

Parallel novel
I just could not give any higher rating, simply because it was so short - but it can be a big advantage for many watchers and it is really really super short. I love Go Min Si as an actress and she did not dissapointed, what more she was also screenwriter and director for this. There is no a lot of cast, no big budget but they make it worth - because it is so short it feels a little as a MV. I would really like it as a short drama, 4 episodes would be great but still it was fun and better than I expected.Was this review helpful to you?
Another parting
Well I know that rating many aspects of this that way would give it higher rating but I just could not, eventhough I considered 6/10, I believe that 5/10 is fair rate - but it is not bad!!What is important - Seo In Guk is one of my favourite actors so I had to watch it - and his acting here is 10/10, but I could not rank whole drama higher only because of it. Music was great. Plot - I wished it was full length drama with at least 10 episodes - then it would work perfectly or even full length movie, cause plot was fun and perfect for fantasy romance.
It was more like a few mv's with some plot . Also there was no crazy budget - but it is clear that there were not supposed to be.
Big advantage - you can watch it on youtube - and for people who like short episodes it will be perfect. If you need something short between other drama releases.
To sum up - not bad, but not good.

No gain, no love
At the beginning I have to admit that it was a little messy - but this is conclusion after finishing, cause I have watched it pretty fast and it is something easy to watch. It was light, cringe, cute, sweet, funny but there was also some sadness and mystery. I do not thing that there were any character without some trauma or need of therapy. It was somehow realistic even with some unrealistic moments. And all of this makes me think that this drama is really worth watching.Chemistry was cute, age gap did not bothered me at all (although I was too lazy to check age gap between characters - but in case of actors, but let's be honest, both are adults and agreed to play so I do not see any reason to have any problem with age difference if they do not have). Also second couple was really cute - worth checking spin off Spice up our love. I wished there was more of third couple, I wished they would show us her child and how it work out. Also I am curious if Go Wook's&Jeon Hye Won's characters get divorsed - she deserved so much better.
I feel like last episode could go a little different way, all in all I thing it could work better with 10 episodes or just one more to not make it seemed so rushed.
I like easter egg of mentioning What's wrong with secreatry Kim (maybe I will watch it someday). Also wished that Kim Young Dae stayed with long hair a little longer.
To sum up - it is not the best drama out there but still really worth giving a shot, especially if you like anyone from cast.

Drama Stage Season 3: Big Data Romance

Drama stae season 3: Big data romance
Concept is pretty similar to Love alarm - in both we have apps which "help" with love life, in Love alarm it was showing who loves you in nearby while in Big data romance it show how well would match based on things you like. It was cute, light and easy to watch - forgot to mention that I treat it as a movie - but I have to admit that their argument and accident were unnessessary, it could be done better. It could work better as a short drama, sill worth watching - especially if you like Song Jae Rim (RIP) - I really wished that we would get him with Jeon So Min in next drama, cause their chemistry was so cute, but it's impossible :(Was this review helpful to you?

I'm not a robot
First of all I do not know if some things will count as a spoiler. Second it is probably first time when I will mention a lot of cast in review, so let's go:Yoo Seung Ho - he was the reason why I chose this drama cause I really liked him in My strange hero, he has such a cute smile (that make me want to see him act with Park Bo Young), he played really good, his sad, puppy eyes, also chemistry was cute
Chae Soo Bin - it turned out I already watch something with her (Sweet&Sour), she was much more memorable here, she played really cute and adorable character, chemistry was good, even with her character's ex
Uhm Ki Joon - I did not expect that I would like his character, in the end his story and romance with Pi were one of my favourite plots
Park Se Wan - she played really fun character, I already watched her in So not worth it and as far as I liked her there, here she literally stole the show, also when she straighten her hair she reminded me of Jo Bo Ah in My strange hero and now I need her as main lead with Yoo Seung Ho
Lee Min Ji, Seo Dong Won and Go Geon Han - were so easy to like, also Go Geon Han's english was so nice
Kang Ki Young - It is always nice to see some actor in drama when you do not expect him, I am so happy that in the end he turned out as a good person, also chemistry Hwang Seung Eon was so good - she played really nice character - need them as main leads
Also nice to see Choi Dong Goo after The judge from hell - his character was a little like mischievous puppy.
If you survive praising the cast then I move on to the plot - it was something new and at the same time nothing original, but was so easy to watch, I do not even know how fast I moved through it. It is worth watching, especially when you want to watch something light.

Ultimate oppa
Well it for sure was a romcom. Plot was nothing unexpected or even new. We get nice mountain view. And acting which was not for me, I hardly believe that it has to be script fault or I do not know, maybe chemistry was off? During watching I was wondering why I just do not turn it off, cause I really wanted to (it was just the year when I decided I would finish every show, movie or book I would start - that is the only reason why I have finish this movie.)Was this review helpful to you?
Can't Run Away from Love
Storyline was interesting, female lead was cute and did pretty good. It is important to keep in mind that japanese acting style is different than korean - and personally I like it less, but female lead actually did well job. The problem is not even the budget - which clearly is not high. The main lead. That is the problem. His acting was awful, so stiff, not even one scene which felt natural, just nothing, maybe it is directors fault, I do not know, but he was the reason one it is the lowest rate japanese drama in my ratings.Was this review helpful to you?
Unknown, untitled, unmastered
I am so sad to say that it was a disappointment. I have watched this because of Yujin, I am so happy that she comeback to acting, her role was cute but to be honest not really challenging, if she wants to act more she really needs harder roles - but I do believe it is hard to match with being in group.Acting of boys - no, sorry, there were too many momenst were they looked stiff, they acting felt forced - and I know it is Xion's debut so he needs to act more to get better.
Too little music for music drama - and I was hyped up after first scene, so it is a pity. Yujin's character fate was predictable. And advertisements/product placement were annoying in this one.

Splash Splash LOVE
Good thing that it only has 2 episodes, eventhought they are long, and that was the reason I have watched this. It was well made. Storyline, or rather idea of it, was good, acting - mostly - was good. The worst part was Kim Seul Gi's character, she was too childlike and the age difference between her and king seemed as he was 20 years old and she was 14 years old, it felt really off because of the way her character was written, so romance part made me a little cringe.Was this review helpful to you?

Once upon a small town
It is cute and has a beautiful village views and that is it. My favourite character was Baek Sung Chul's and spoiler I was team BSC' character with Joy, I do not know it felt more right to end as a couple with.The beginning was pretty good, acting was pretty solid. I do not know what went wrong, was it script? plot? It was not Joy's debut I think, but it felt like it. It was not awful or anything, just not natural at all.
Also the scene of accident - it was so poorly made....
Good thing it was short, but still could have less episodes.

I love you bit by bit
Advertisement drama so maybe that is why it is not the best. We have Dawon - who was great in Doom at your service, here it felt like his debut and not the best one. Kwon Eun Bin also was really good in At a distance spring is green, here it looked like she struggle a little. Maybe it was directors fault, cause I do not know how to explain it other way. Plot was okay but it would work better with less episodes.Was this review helpful to you?
Coffee & Vanilla
It was cute and adorable - main female lead was cute, even the title is cute. I have watched this because of Sakurada Dori - he did not disappoint. Haruka - as I already said was cute, actress is so pretty - character was shy so I get why her acting felt a little off. In general japanese acting is different than korean - or maybe just in romcoms.Was this review helpful to you?
Okja
It is for sure nothing you expect. And I am not sure if content rating is right, maybe 15+ would be better, I think that some younger will not really understand the story. Also it can be boring and times while plot is actually crazy/meaningfful.What I love is how they mixed american (even some pretty big names as Jake Gyllenhall) and korean cast. I really like Choi Woo Shik here and Lily Collins.
Worth watching, even if you will not like it very much it is still worth seeing.
