MG Mayre

It has the slice of life genre that I like. It's pretty slow and maybe boring to some, but it is what it is, it talks about the life of a korean employee. It has the vibes of one episode per learning, but I didn't know if I did really learned from the drama.

The actors were familiar, most of the leads I already know of as I have seen them in other dramas. Their acting were just fine, they did deliver. The one thing that did not really convinced me is that I was not really into the food presented though it was a food drama. I was not tempted with it so I guess it was not effectively conveyed to me as a watcher.

I felt 50-50 with the drama, it's not bad but it's not good either.

I think this drama is a cute storyline with a nice cast. I don't know with the acting part but I did like them. I just don't like that it is just 4 episodes though they really used up the time to show the whole storyline. It is quite childish but that is just what it is.

The male lead's character is not the usual for me since he is the guy, a new refreshing concept. I don't know anything about shogi but it feels like chess game and it did incorporate in the drama.
Sanae's character is also one of a kind. I like her. I thought they would have a love triangle going on but they did not pursue that which is good for me.
Overall an okay drama to pass the time.

I think I have watched an episode of this before but forgot about it until I just bumped into it and realized I have read some few chapters of this in manga and read the first episode back then. I think it does not have a proper english subtitiles before that is why I have not watched the next episodes.

The story itself is not new to me since I have an idea of it before having read the manga. This drama really shows how Japan made their dramas, and showing their culture especially when it comes to dating and romance. This drama if you are not prepared is really weird at first because of how they presented it but I like how they portrayed the story overall. It's pretty fast paced.

The main leads chemistry is top notch. The male lead is the greenest green flag and the female lead's character development is really good as well. I really like the female lead, I think she is so beautiful.

I also like the friendship aspect that is seen in the drama. I cried.

Spring Waltz (2006) - I love you so~~~ Love is a beautiful one~~~ hahahahaha. If you find singing to this song again, yeah right it is this drama.

Among all the season series (Winter Sonata, Summer Scent and Autumn in My Heart), this is the only drama that I finished watching so I don't really know about the other dramas in this series. It's a slow paced drama with a lot of throwbacks. I also find the drama frustrating at times, since they could have finished this earlier I think they are vital moments for a touching story that was formed. I cried alongside this drama because most of the scenes are sad.

The OST is great especially the piano pieces - it adds an aura of melo in the drama.

This drama is a cute drama for me overall. At first it has the romantic comedy genre, but with the hint of suspense thriller into it. I like thriller dramas and I like romantic comedy as well but I think this drama is a decent one. I am not into it as much as I would want, maybe because I watched this one ongoing with other big dramas like Moving that the impact of this drama seems lesser.

The actors in the drama are also familiar faces. I have seen them in other dramas, and they are good here, not the best acting but I like it. It's a fine drama with somehow a cliche ending. I would still recommend this one.

Love Alarm Season 2 (2021) - I'm not a fan of season 1, and I remember myself bashing the first season so eventually I don't have much expectations with watching this season.

I think this season is lacking? in a way that they finished it too fast, but the first episodes are slow-paced.

I like melodrama genre in korean dramas, but this one shows how that type of drama works but it was not fully developed since it is suppose to be a romance drama basing on the first season. The vibe with season 2 is totally different with season 1 that it came out to me as not a continuation but rather a really different drama. I was rooting for Hye-Yeong all the way, even in season 1 but no justification for me as watcher in the love story part between him and Jojo, I was frustrated. Maybe I should have read the original story.

My Roommate is a Gumiho (2021) - Fox: “He couldn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t fall in love with her.” I really like this part of the drama related to the quotes and all regarding how a person can fall in love with someone. I felt the romance right there. I think that part of the drama is mesmerizing.

I like the overall drama but I can't seem to feel the chemistry between the main leads, I don't know why. I like the other couple much more because for me they are much fun to watch. I did read the webtoon and in fairness they followed the story just that there was a wrong character. tsk.

Nevertheless (2021) - I have read the webtoon version of this drama way before I finished the drama and I could say is that the drama sucks. I mean they should have followed the flow with the manhwa if it is an adaptation. I just felt frustrated with it.

It's a realistic drama for sure but it's too toxic, and I hated the leads so much. If they did follow the webtoon I would have like the drama better and it may have save the drama in its totality.

The actors were just okayish for me as watcher. I'm of course in love with the second male lead again, pretty normal for a korean drama watcher like me.

Webtoon >>>>>>>> Korean Drama

Café Midnight (2020) - I don't really know most of the cast in the drama, and in that sense I don't think they are really good in acting. I think they just started acting because I find them awkward on the screen.


The drama is confusing, I didn't fully understand what it is all about, but as it goes episode by episode, I understand it but it takes time.

It's not something that I would recommend to anybody. Since it is just a short drama, I think it was not delivered successfully to the audience. It's just an okay drama for, not really amazing nor need to be talked about with friends.

100 Days My Prince (2018) - this korean drama is one of historical dramas that I wasn’t so attached with. Maybe because it’s a light drama, and romance is the main part of the story. It was unusual for me to watch a korean historical drama that is romantic comedy since most historical dramas I have watched are either comedic at first but eventually led to melodrama which I like. Both main leads did a really great job in their respective roles, but I’m not a fan D.O being a prince nor a king. Maybe because of his height? I don’t know, basically this drama is fun to watch especially if it's for binge watching since there is not so much struggle with the whole storyline.

Remarriage and Desires (2022) - finished this in one sitting. Revenge dramas are really enticing and satisfying to watch. What I like about this drama are the characters. Top tier actors and actresses, great in expressing their respective characters. There is this thrill in the drama that I like and also how the characters are portrayed. I’m satisfied with the drama and a season 2 would not be as appealing maybe for me for this drama. Full packed, there is not too much romance parts in the drama which I really like as well. There are characters that I’m hoping to know what happened after the chaos since there is no closure that is shown in the drama for them.

Backstreet Rookie (2020) - what made me watched the drama is because of the controversies surrounding it. I did really like it at first but quite disappointed at the same time since it is another romantic comedy genre acted by Ji Chang Wook. I did like this one better than Melting Me Softly, but originality aspect still goes to MMS. What I did like most in the drama is the family part, I did cry in those parts. The leads does not really have a chemistry for me as romance partners. The vibes that this drama gives is that of a typical romantic comedy with over the top acting. The secondary couple are hilarious and I like the part where they put inputs about the drama "The Fiery Priest, I laughed. I'm hoping for a Ji Chang Wook drama that is on melodramatic, which I think suits him better.

Avengers Social Club (2017) - what keep me running away from the drama is the title. But what keeps me closer to the drama is because of Lee Yo Won as I am a fan of her ever since Pure Love Days, and I really like her as an actress. One of the dramas that I find other people who had watch the same because it was not that hyped in my circle but truly happy seeing reviews to how much they really like the drama. I super, duper like this. Dealing with revenge with ahjumma styles, is really fun. What makes it more engaging is that they are not 20+ age characters but ahjummas already, having their own share of experiences in life, and seeing their own struggles makes me want to embrace them and root for them all the more. The three ahjummas are so different especially in their background stories but having that formed friendship nevertheless, it was fun and inspiring. I do like the character development of each of the characters and there are surely lessons learned from this drama. A lot of the issues have been tackled which may seem dark in other dramas but they tackle it in a way that you will still feel the issues but engaging fun and comedic aura that balances. Definitely worth watching.
