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.

The Man Who Can’t Get Married (2009) - I don’t know why I watched this drama but I guess this was the time that I am searching for something to watch and I read the plot and liked it.

The drama did get boring as it pass by but I also have a fun time watching this one as there are funny scenes that are well executed. The main leads in the drama are a great selection since they portrayed their roles very well. I like that there are no evil characters in the drama as well that is why it is quite an okay watch. If you want to a feel good drama that do not have frustrating evil leads, go watch this drama.

Cinderella Man (2009) - it's one of the dramas that I would have forgotten if not of this post long ago. I didn't even think about Cinderella in this drama, more likely it's like the prince and the pauper. Kwon Sang Woo being Dae San is so cute. He could really pull off this kind of character smoothly. Seeing Yoona here, probably one of her first acting is also good considering she's an idol. More of like a forgettable drama since it has that pretty average storyline with no wow factor or significant something that I would recommend. This drama tells me that trust is much better than money.

Queen Seon Duk (2009) - not my first time to watch a Korean historical drama but the impact unto me is so great that I want to watch more historical drama (because of this). I basically don’t like historical dramas, but this drama is an exception. I felt the emotions of the drama; it was fun, exciting, and heartbreaking. I think the ending is what it should be - which is usually the case for these types of dramas. I thought that I would give up halfway because of the lack of something in the story line but it keeps getting better and the cast too are getting better. This drama is awesome in many ways. Highly recommended.

You’re Beautiful (2009) - probably one of the earliest Korean dramas that I have watched overtime. This drama has that typical over the top comedy which I liked watching before (*but not a fan anymore nowadays). Hongki’s portrayal of Jeremy is my favorite since I have the second male lead syndrome in this drama. This drama has a really good cast, the actors are well picked and they suited the image of the characters portrayed. Predictable storyline and yeah totally not convinced with Shin Hye as a guy. Not one of my favorite dramas but it still is one of the reasons why I continued watching Korean dramas up until today.

Iljimae (2008) - Lee Jun Ki, Park Shi Hoo and HAN HYO JOO - ok the cast itself speakes volume already of what is to come.

My time and effort in watching this drama was not wasted. I didn't like historical dramas before and for sure I just watch this one because of the cast. But I did started opening my heart for historical dramas because of this one as well. The story is well written considering that it's not really romance-centric but more on the Melo plus thriller/action genre which I also like. Iljimae may be a 2008 drama, but one of the best historical dramas that is still worth watching even up this time.

Marrying a Millionaire (2005) - this is one of the dramas that I waited watching every night on my local television network ABS-CBN which usually airs at 10:00PM and a student that is supposedly asleep at that hour. I actually do sneak up at night just to watch it on TV. Honestly I missed a lot of episodes of this on TV, because I was asleep and there are scenes that are cut. I watched this one in Korean with english subtitles and I was really satisfied to see the entirety of the drama. I did still enjoy the drama, thanks to the main leads. Marrying a millionaire is one of the dramas that I truly find myself smiling because I can remember my childhood.

It's just a five minute episode that talks about the main leads life before and somehow after the Ending Again Webseries. For me, it's a cute really short watch. I did finish this one real quick, and I'm quite satisfied with how they laid the story as well as the commercial in between which is I think the main purpose of this clip.

I find still the leads awkward especially the male leads. Acting skills wise is lacking. I didn't find the female lead awkward in this one and I believe she carried the whole episode/clip. I like that is just a quick look of the previous eight years with the ex. It's not to overly dramatic but it shows how the span of time in their relationship together.

Ending Again (2020) - I saw a clip of this on facebook, and I got curious since I find it cute.

Since it is just a Webdrama, I finished rather quickly on this. The leads are both good looking, I just find the female lead awkward, maybe because of her beauty. I find the acting as well awkward which for me is understandable.

The plot itself is good for me but I think it was not given justice by the characters. They appear too one dimensional.

What I like is the OSTs and the drawings that is seen in the drama. I just hope that they elaborated or had given the characters a deeper character, or maybe the time didn't allow it.

Start Up (2020) - may not be the best out there but I enjoyed it.

I get to see Suzy having a mature role already, I think I got to see her improvement in acting. At first I see a lot of my friends supporting Han Ji Pyeong and also there are people around me who encouraged me to watch this drama. So I did watch the drama and my support goes to Do San more up until the 13th episode. I think the writer wants to give the second male lead vibe to Da San which I felt as a watcher. One reason also why I supported Do San's character more is Nam Joo Hyuk's transformation as an actor. This time around I found that it's not his usual roles in other dramas. Well eventually I stop doting on Do San because I find the 3 years questionable, I asked myself why did the female lead didn't fall in love with Han Ji Pyeong instead? Sure? But then again, it is what it is. I like the introduction of the drama and I enjoyed it up until the end, though a lot were disappointed with how it turned out.
