K-Drama 
Getting into the details, I would have to say that this season is inferior to the first one, but it's certainly not disappointing.
The story and subplots were solid, but none were particularly as outstanding as the ones in the first season. It did get melodramatic at times, but maintained a good slice-of-life balance, as it was realistic in depicting how life gets tough and dark, yet life goes on. The first episode was definitely the best; it was a great and dramatic return to the belle epoque we know and love. Jiwon's development arc was amazing, as she gained a bigger focus this season, Yeeun's arc was a bit stilted, but it did fine in articulating a sensitive topic of trauma. It was also awesome seeing our loving motherly Jinmyung finally paving her path in the world, and since season 1 was her success story, she played more of a supporting role in the plots of others, which was still great to see. The addition of Joeun was great as well; she has a relatable subplot, and the actress is completely charming and adorable. Unfortunately, I personally found Eunjae's arc to be highly unsatisfying and unconvincing. It was mostly due to the writing and partially to do with the recasting. I'm not going to blame the actress because her hands were really tied by the fact that Park Hyesoo had defined Eunjae too well as her own character and the writers not being more adventurous with her development.
As always, the music is fun and sets the mood really nicely throughout the drama. The girls are hilarious and this slice-of-life is totally rewatchable. The acting of all the girls was great; I wasn't particularly impressed by the male actors except for Kwon Hochang's actor, becuase that was a tough portrayal.
Overall, this is still an amazing follow-up drama, but I wouldn't say it has the strength to stand apart from it's explosively well received predecessor. Give it a watch!

Fight For My Way has probably been the most enjoyable drama I've seen so far this year.The story is refreshing, relatable, and fun all the way. The characters are fantastic, the leads have great chemistry, and the stories told are real to those in their 20s out there. Each character captivated and moved me in their own ways with a good balance of well-paced storytelling and depiction of reality. Dong Man and Ae Ra are lovable and goofy, Sul Hee is a strong fan favorite, Joo Man is a character that can be both liked and disliked for the same reason: he's incredibly flawed like ourselves, and Hye Ran is a character with surprisingly good development.
When I was watching the stories unfold, I didn't get the typical drama tropes I was expecting. Instead, I got all too familiar stories I've heard and experienced before. None of the drama in this show is outrageous or melodramatic because it happens in real life so often. No story spoilers here, but I will say that this show sticks true to being a slice of life in its own unique way.
The music is really good- both in composition and lyrics. The tunes capture the moods quite well, and the lyrics of the first OST really encapsulate the feel of this drama.
It's great to rewatch as a light romcom, and overall, it's incredibly enjoyable. Highly recommend.

A nice one-day binge
Doona! is a pleasantly ambient drama that’s easy on the eyes — it never strays from its core to dip into dizzying twists and turns and the temptations of melodramas or overdrawn love triangles.I liked the easygoing pace of it, the soft light, and the muted colors. I loved the lingering shots, and the thoughtful framing.
Overall, it was simply a fun watch with likeable characters and an easy to follow story. And no complaints with how gorgeous and spot on Suzy’s hair, makeup, and styling was.

The premise, while interesting, is super unrealistic and not incredibly complex or deep. However, the writers keep it interesting enough for 32 half-hour episodes.
As for the cast and acting, I couldn't have asked for a better cast. Not only were the leads Chae Soobin and Yoo Seungho incredibly warm and lovely at their own individual roles, but their chemistry together was amazing. The other characters were also very fun and likable.
The music, like the drama itself, is very catchy and cute, but nothing amazing.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who wants a light and very romantic drama! Also I absolutely LOVE the cast!
