The story has that premise that makes me interested and curious as a viewer. The first episodes were nice and also engaging in introducing the characters. I think how the story was portrayed and the mysteries that is in the story was not well executed in terms of pacing since it feels like that it was all jumbled.
I don't have anything against the cast, I think they are all brilliant. The female lead is really charming. She carried her role so well, she is a really great actress. The male lead is fine with me. The second couple, sadly did not have the chemistry that I was looking for. I watch this about 2 episodes per day and I can't remember most of the how the drama went out because it is forgettable especially at the last parts. It's just a so-so drama for me.

Mr. Queen (2020) - is one of the famous dramas that timeline together with True Beauty, Run On and other korean dramas, so of course I have to watch this. I really like it at first, because I found it fun to watch. Eventually, my interest with the drama slowly started to fall down because the one drama that got my attention at the time was Run On and I did feel that it became serious in the last parts of the drama which is inevitable given that it is historical.

There are also characters in the drama that I find regretful since they were not highlighted as much. I like the incorporation of the 'foodie' time of the queen since in the present era he is a chef so I really like those parts. Since it's a historical drama, a touch of political parts is there which is normal and I also find them okay.

Penthouse: War in Life Season 3 (2021) - Finally, it is done.

It is obviously a nonsense story. Season 3 was a mess, and it feels like it has been gone to a third season just for the sake of ending it. At least it was finished. The ending is fine with me, I understood it, with lots of what happened before and after.

I don't have a lot to say about the actors and actresses because they did exceptionally well in the drama. Nailed their roles perfectly.

I think this drama is way too much makjang for me. Not a recommended drama. It may suit to others who like makjang specifically, but it's really not for me.

Hospital Playlist 2 (2021) - since it is a sequel of the first season, and I already know the usual flow of this korean drama, I find it pleasing just like the first season.

My favorite episode would be the acknowledgement of the nurses in the PICU and also the highlight with emergency doctors and the emergency team. It feels like they inserted two dramas: Emergency Couple and Romantic Doctor, both highlights emergencies.

Having the same line up of characters is also a plus since I already know the characters.

One of the best release korean dramas. Recommended.

Summer Strike (2022) - it’s been quite long since I watched a “slice of life” drama and I enjoyed it. This drama reminds me of High School Love On, but this time on a mature note. I love the characters especially the supporting ones because I don’t know most of them or watched them once maybe on other dramas. It felt so realistic seeing them. I think this drama felt like a reminder to me as a person that I am enough. I cried alongside the main character Yeo Reum whom I really admire while I am watching. The characters in the drama are all so kind that it made me believe in humanity in general. It stays true to the drama’s title as well which I really like. My type of drama. Must Watch.

Queenmaker (2023) – one of the dramas that you will just sit through because it just flows. I really like this type of dramas. It’s mostly politics which I really like since political dramas is not typical in Korean dramas, though apparent as a part of a drama in some other cases. What I like about the drama is that it shows the process of how election is done in South Korea and how different parties work for their candidacy. There is a really gripping feeling that I need to watch the next episodes since every episodes end is in a cliffhanger. Worth the watch and I finished it quickly which shows how I like this drama. Good drama release of 2023.

This drama started strong and really made me want to see more in the beginning. Park Seo-joon’s portrayal of Saeroyi was the highlight—he truly fit the character and gave it depth. I didn’t solely watch this drama, since I had other shows in between, so I wasn’t fully attached. Still, some characters stood out to me, especially Seung Kwon, who became my favorite. The villain, Jang Dae-hee, was also excellent and left a strong impression. The later parts of the story were not as satisfying, but the final lines helped ease my disappointment. Overall, Itaewon Class was a good watch with strong acting, even if it didn’t completely capture me from start to finish.

It did feel a bit of waste potential for the actors in the drama but it was just a short drama with lifelong lessons you could bring. I can say that it is fulfilling, but it's pretty harsh and I was scared. The ending felt a bit rushed but I like it. It means that second chances can happen. The actors are no doubt veterans already in the korean drama world and I have so much respect for them all. The song especially in the ending credits is heartwarming as well.

I would not rewatch this because I find it gruesome. Overall a great watch, I would recommend this to those who like thriller, crime dramas.

I don't know how to describe the entirety of this drama because I watch this one ongoing. I really like this drama and the storyline of arrange marriages is one of my favorite theme in drama land so that's an added point. The process of watching the drama was enjoyable for me as a watcher. I find the leads having the chemistry, the side characters with their cute side stories as well as the family life of the leads. The acting was great for me, but I could really see that the others need more improvement but I'm not complaining cause it's tolerable.
I guess I was just not that excited with watching the last 2 episodes, because I lost my interest in it, which I don't know the reason behind. The ending felt like a rush but honestly I like the ending. I thought it was appropriate for the drama. I would recommend this for sure.

Class of Lies (2019) - the first parts of the series is really good for me. I was captivated although it is school themed or took place in the school area which I usually am not a fan of. The reason maybe is because it's not romance but thriller, crime genre. As it goes by per episode the happenings gets over the top that it's unrealistic. I find the acting of the young actors and actresses in the drama lacking, the one that really stood out for me was just Beom Jin. I could see some future projects for the one that acted Yeri's character but the others need more acting workshop. I did not like the ending at all, it wasn’t a good closure for a supposed to be thrilling kdrama. I felt regret for what happened in between the drama that they just end it like that. I’m not looking forward with a second season.

Circle (2017) - still one of the best 2017 drama I have watched. A lot has happened and it was greatly laid out and portrayed by the actors and actresses in the drama. Different twists and turns that I was not really expecting making the drama much more interesting to me. I was just amazed, though I did not fully understand everything because of the pacing between the "future" scenes and present scenes. aand daghan nangyari jud na bongga ang pa twist and turns no, wa ko kasagang. I would always recommend this drama. Another plus point - Gikwang is here (*to those who fancies him, just like me)!
