The first 4 episodes was a bang. I just finish the drama yesterday and my thoughts are quite out of place. The drama is packed with well known but amazing actors and actresses in the korean drama world. Seo In Guk is really good, though I can only see his face with death and their conversations. Every episode is a way to present how valuable life is. The most memorable for me is the baby episode, it was not expecting it so I enjoyed it. They put some light moments in the drama, which I like since it is really a dark drama. The ending is a cliffhanger so will see if it will live up to the first parts of the drama.

Clean with Passion for Now (2018) - if you came from heartbreaking dramas, I would think that you would feel the same way as I did in this drama. I was literally laughing out loud with this drama, and I've realize that this type of drama is what I was watching before. Though I'm not a fan of RomCom nowadays, I'm still happy I've seen this in between my other serious dramas. I felt like this drama balanced out my emotions. Seeing Yoon Kyun Sang in a RomCom, it felt amazing to me since I felt scared with his other roles he acted in other dramas. It is my first romcom drama from him that I have seen. I totally agree that Song Jae Rim was not utilized as much in this drama, I mean his role is nice but I think it fell short to what he can do or what the character has to show. I still enjoyed the drama, I would recommend this to those who like Romantic Comedy genre.

Rooftop Prince (2012) - should have been one of my fave dramas but I already know the ending so the excitement was not there anymore while watching the drama. The first part of the dramas made me laugh, I still remember funny scenes from this drama, and I had fun for sure. Historical dramas really do tend to get serious, and I must say this drama hurts. The villains in the drama are really a good pick since I felt rage to them. The story itself is well written for me, at the same time I liked the suspense parts that I keep thinking who the culprit really is but sadly they did not give a back story to the side characters to at least justify why they are in the drama. Not on my favorite list but one of the best dramas for me at that time. It's worth watching.

The Princess’ Man (2011) - one of my best/fave kdramas and one of the best historical dramas up until now. Park Shi Hoo and Moon Chae Won are also one of the actors and actress that I really look forward to as actors in the Korean drama world. This drama is really good, not just in the love story aspect but also in the political aspect and all which is the usual in historical dramas. Though forbidden love is the main theme, I liked that they give the perspective on the storyline on what really happened to them. The acting was really great not just with the main leads but the side characters as well, and in fairness, the chemistry of the main leads is great, I felt the romance. I also like the ending though it was like that, it's fine with me. Still recommended and hoping to rewatch this soon.

Blade Man/Iron Man (2014) - I would have this drama good if it was nicely written, I guess? I don't know the main reason but I think there is something wrong with this drama that I was not really engaged into it as much. Lee Dong Wook is perfect for the male lead. He delivers his role perfectly, and acting wise his really great. The female lead on the other hand, I was not really her fan in this drama but she is good, especially with crying scenes. The story between the male lead and his father is heartbreaking for me as watcher, and that what captured me best in this drama. Other than that, it was a drop. So I would not recommend this drama.

Are You Human (2018) - by the year 2018, I don't know if the Korean network channels have come to a consensus but the robot themed drama is on the rise. Out of all the robot themed dramas that was release that year, (Absolute Boyfriend, I'm Not a Robot), Are You Human is by far the best, in my opinion. Seo Kang Jun is really handsome and pulled out his role perfectly. Lee Joon Hyuk portraying Nam Shin's secretary is my favorite role, I find him handsome here, I'm so into him. I like how "KBS" this one is, it's typical and playing safe but I like how the story goes and in fairness I watch this on going. What I find disappointing is the ending.

It is not the best out there but since it is just a web drama, I find it cute and worth my time - pretty much since it is only short. This drama revolving around revenge through a note or app is not a novel concept as I have heard it in a Japanese drama but have not seen it so I can't compare. Though it revolves around revenge, I like that it is not as heavy as I thought. Also revolves around high school students so pretty much a school drama, but I am fine with it. The acting are not really good, as it is compose of new actors and actresses. Since it is a school drama, I am not a fan of the romance part, as of course I am not so convinced with "children" falling in love, but that is just me being old. LOL.

Overall, I think the drama is good to pass the time.

The story itself just goes around in circles that I find the whole drama annoying. It's sad that it was quite fun especially at the start. This drama have the potential to really go big, but failed to maintain what it started.

I know almost all the actors in the drama, and I didn't not like their acting here compared to their other dramas especially the leads. The most disappointing acting is the second male lead. I can't feel his emotions, he is just like a talking standee.

The music/OST is nothing special to me.

Definitely will not rewatch this drama. I would still recommend this to those starting out in korean dramas.

A Man Called God (2010) - roller coaster ride with this drama because of how the character developed through time and also how the revenge plot should be. Since it is 24 episodes, it felt so long watching this (*I usually watch 16-20 episode korean dramas). I think there are a lot of fillers, the characters are also a lot, which my brain can't really handle. It has a lot of unbelievable tactics to it, as well as plot holes. I didn’t like the ending as well, I don’t think I hate the drama since I enjoyed some episodes of it. The action scenes are great, and since Song Il Gook is also the main actor, which I am very curious as an actor since I only seen him in Return of Superman. His role here is perfect for him, and though he has little lines/script, I find him really in par with his character as Choi Kang Ta/Peter Pan. The ending was disappointing for me, I still had remaining questions as to what really happened. I think it was not wrapped up beautifully.

The story is somewhat weird at first, because it has that Japanese vibes drama into it. As I get into the next episodes, I did understand how it flowed just the way it is.
The female lead is super cute, I find her adorable and not quite the typical skinny girl lead which is the usual in other dramas. The male is sooooooo handsome, just my type. Their love story is really different, but I like that they showed both of their respective viewpoints which is typical in japanese dramas.
It's short but it's fine short, it's not too dragging and the conflicts are also managed faster than the usual full length dramas so it's good for passing the time.

Dong Yi (2010) - of course another Han Hyo Joo drama that is why I watched this one. I did like this drama honestly even if she was not the female lead, still I am happy that she is the female lead. This historical drama is one of the reasons why I started liking historical dramas. Dong Yi has a good plot and transition that I came to search what really happened in history of Korea all because of this drama. I also like Jin Hee’s portrayal as king . Even though this is a historical drama, I like the fact that the first parts of the drama is not that serious, though eventually it did get serious. I like the conflicts and I was affected with how the drama unfolded. Pretty much a recommended drama.

Creating Destiny (2010) - I did watch this drama because of the main leads because I got curious. This drama is the reason why the main leads got together in real life so I had expectations from this drama. Since the drama revolves around the family, it took me longer to embrace the drama since I don't usually like this type of drama. This drama is quite long and I would not watch it again for sure, it's too dragging for me. The storyline is also quite the typical Korean drama.

I don't have anything against the cast. I think they did pretty well with their roles.
