My Dangerous Wife (2020) - as to why I watched this version ongoing is because I want to understand better the drama since I find the Japanese drama questionable/confusing. Though there is this bit of additional characters, I think the essence of the whole storyline was really the same with the Japanese, I feel like the literally copied the drama which I appreciate. Of course there are additional parts with the ending maybe to give justice the female lead's character sa female lead but I was hoping that there is depth in her childhood past as to why her actions are like that when she became an adult. The 'neighborhood' couple was a bit disappointing for me here comparing with the Japanese version since I really like the Japanese version. The part of the investigator's family which was not seen in the Japanese is one of the most likeable additions for me in the whole drama, I did feel the thrill as a watcher. I find the drama confusing though, because of the pacing, but I did understand how it goes because I have watched the Japanese one.

My Dangerous Wife (Japan) (2016) - I just watched this drama because of the on-going korean version that is currently airing. For a 9 episode drama, a lot happened. I must say I did enjoy the whole process but after watching this one, I am left with questions in my mind as to the female main lead, that is why I really want to watch the korean version for me to understand the drama, and maybe they would somehow elaborate more. Japanese dramas are really different from what I usually expect that is why I am amazed with this drama. The actors/actresses are well chosen, I find them convincing. Fully packed ang drama for me, there is always a significant activity per episode.

A Girl & Three Sweethearts/ Sukina Hito ga iru koto (Japan) (2016) - I really like that what I root for to be with the female lead is the one she chose in the end.

With not just one but three guys for a girl, I really, really felt good that the female chose his male lead. I felt the second male lead vibes with the guy but I was so wrong because he was really the main lead, I'm so happy.

Japanese dramas portrayal is really different that is why I find it both fun and hard at the same time. I have fond memories of this drama and I also like the ending of this.

Fake Couple (Japan) (2015) - I like this drama though I did not watch this in one sitting. It has the Japanese vibes unto it as well, weird but an okay weird for me. Japanese dramas are totally different and I like that. With this one, they incorporate the humor that is japanese style.

I like the female lead character Hiro, and her character development in the drama. Japanese dramas for me have an impact though they are only a few episodes. I also like the editing of the drama, and the mini narration in the first part per episode to make me as a viewer remember what happened in the previous episodes. I cried as well, eventually there are sensitive topics that is tackled and it’s another brave move from a drama. Significant in the way of showing sensitive topics in the society which makes me feel different usually. My heart was moved. Fun drama with a lot of twists, especially near the ending episodes.

Full House (Thailand) (2014) - this remake of the Korean version is very nicely done. Both characters portraying the main lead are good at their crafts, although I did feel that they are too young for the roles/characters. I got the aura of the leads more on the teenager rather than mature vibe that I would want since they are both in the working age in the drama though I don't really know the age of the actors and actress. I think that was a drawback for me while watching this.

Still, I'm glad that they showcased the drama really well for a remake, the fun parts are there which was also highlighted in the OG drama.

Save The Last Dance For Me (2004) - one of the dramas that had a great impact in my life. One of the reasons why I started watching korean dramas is because of this drama. I did watch few clips on the local television back in the day with dubbed as Tagalog. I didn't watched the whole drama with the tagalog dubbed and so I made the effort to download and watch this drama first hand with english subtitles.

All the main leads are good here, acting wise. It really is a makjang drama so there are a lot of scenes that is really frustrating. Scenes of heartbreak is also emphasized in this drama and some scenes that I find questionable but while I was watching this, I felt nostalgic.

Find Me In Your Memory (2020) - I watch the drama for 4 episodes in then stopped since I can't find the reason or excitement watching it and I don't know where the story would eventually go to and I don't find the drama interesting.

I then eventually knew that it is suppose to be slow paced, so when I came to rewatch it, I realized what the story is all about and little by little they did show the sense of the story.

I really really like Jeong Hoon portrayed by Kim Dong Wook and he is so handsome and he is really great in acting out his role in the series. The one thing that I find disappointing is that I like the second couple more than the main leads romance.

Break Up Probation, A Week (2020) - It was so hard looking for english subtitles for this drama. I did find one that is why I'm happy that this drama is just short.

Both male and female leads are so awkward in acting that I had a hard time watching it. I did feel the intense part and also the story is really great. You could really see how much love they have for each other through their relationship, which was the way really long. But there were "off-putting" parts for me especially if it really is about "true love"

The ending is not what I expected but it's fine.

Kingdom 2 (2020) - the second season didn't disappoint. The story did gradually reveal some answers to the questions from the previous season and that is a plus for me as watcher, I like it.

The effects, the overall vibe of the drama speaks money and I could really see how much money was poured into the drama because it's so "rich-looking". The computer effects, make up and the scenes of the drama is so amazing as well. I was heartbroken with the plot twist in the drama, I cried.

I love the actors the same as the first season, great acting.

Looking forward to the next season.
