Who can we trust?
The plot is more complicate than a simple kidnapping of a child.How far a mother can go and what she can do for her son?
Different motivations pushed people to help this mother. Success and popularity to the producer, justice to the policeman, saving lifes for the mother.
This search is too long. Names, events, stalkers, suspects, kidnapping, history of domestic violence, ... I was confused. There are many culprits... it'is frustrating to see but I wanted to see this poor child go back to his mother! By the 9th episode I'm exhausted from waiting.
Finally into 13th episodes you will be able to find out who "the guilty" is.

Revenge
Vigilantes! A team of victims who search to make justice.Scary cases that make your skin crawl. I watched only to see the revenge.
Be prepared to see everything and more: beatings, bullying, violence against vulnerable people, exploitation, prostitution, the distribution of pornographic films, illegal organ harvesting, injustice, corruption... They didn't leave anything out.
Creepy, you're heart-heavy in the end. The only glimmer of light, this guy.
From 8th episodes I wanted a mythics revenge for this psyco and there wasn't.
In 9th, Swat and prosecutor are "chicken".
In 14th, I would have something to say! He want to fight towards a team of killers all alone? What a shitty idea!
He take the driver who get an accident where his friend were seriously injured and stay to watch him and let the villain escape and then chase him in a taxi? In the "prison" he beats everyone, there is no one left when he goes out into the square, then all at once they all arrive together nice perky and surround him? He follows the villain to the pier with the prosecutor on his heels but strangely he has time to drift with the car, beat, chase the bad one and only then help arrives. Timing that doesn't add up.

Trust him or not?
I must confess that I droop this series after 3rd episode but trusting in the high rating I decided to continue watching it.The plot is aberrant and shocking but also sad and emotional, especially last 2 episodes.
This guy who is the son of a serial killer and married to a police detective, was wanted and followed as a murderer.
She discovers clues about her husband. Who is actually the father of her daughter? She has tough time and must choose a side between law and family.
So many surprises.
The OST was good with also orchestral piece.
I don't think I'll ever see it twice.

Kang Bok Soo the hero
Love triangle, bullism at school, misunderstanding...3 school mates meet after 9 years. One has becoming a president of school, one a teacher and the other poor guy still a student.
The last one is a gentle and awesome person that was misunderstood, in the past and still yet, and unfortunately he was unable to graduate. He has a second chance to come back at school when he is an adult, 9 years after. The teacher is right his "ex girlfriend".
He will be able to win her back and together they will fight against injustice.
This series seemed too long to me, it was so heavy to reach the end that I put it aside several times.

Two twins who switch roles
The "city student" (Mi Rae) and the "country girl" (Mi Ji). The "country girl" goes to Seoul and works in the office, while her sister and the other go to the countryside and have to take care of their grandmother and work to grow strawberries.Apparently similar but very different in their approach to life, each one tries to do her best and discover new things about each other.
What can we see in this series?
Mobbing at work. A beautiful relationship between granddaughter and grandmother, a difficult and different relationship between daughters and mother... A stepmother who takes care of her deceased husband's son and gives up her relationship with her own family for him.
The suffering of this good hearted boy who always thinks he is a burden and does not want to be pitied. Sacrifice, when he discovers he is losing his hearing and he breaks up with the person he loves for her own well.
The sad story of this old woman who helps her childhood friend and lives a lonely life full of memories.
Full of emotions. I cried like a waterfall.
I like Park Jin Young as a member of GOT7, but also as an actor. His characters are usually those of a thoughtful person, who works hard and is always a little lonely, sad and unlucky. I like his calmness.
The female lead, Park Bo Young, is also a talented girl. She played two different roles, which is even more complicated.

Good beginning but then...
I wonder if there had been another female protagonist if the series would have been different and better.I don't particularly like the actress Park Shin Hye because in every series I've seen (for example The Heirs or Memories of Alhambra), in which she stars, she weighs down the story. Monothematic in her sadness, with this idiotic look with his mouth ajar, in the long run she makes me nervous.
On the other hand, I liked Park Hyung Sik. Always elegant and gentleman, I especially like to remember the scene in which he looks in the mirror.
While the scenes in which they pretend to be drunk I found them not very credible.
But I was a super fan of the couple of their friends. So cute.

brain lessons
It's a semi-comedy series with animated figurines where you can also learn something about body signals and brain functions.I love this team formed by a neurologist and a detective. One the opposite of the other.
The collaboration begins after this brain doctor is suspended from work because of this detective. So he thinks it's a good idea to find revenge by working side by side with him.
The cases are interesting and not at all predictable.
I only asked myself one thing: why does everyone trust and let themselves be manipulated by this psychopath? Even the genius doctor falls into this trap. Too much self-confidence or too tempting a challenge?
The detective's laugh... unique.

Not only the family is atypical, but also the plot! This family no longer has extra powers and the only person who can recover them is this girl (who approaches them with deception).The soundtrack is nothing special, a little confusing for this character who moves in time, the actors act well but without a particular alchemy.

Fight for life
Why did I watch this series and what did I like about it? Especially for the sight of the male lead's body.The chemistry between the two main actors and the plot... nothing special.
Then, her friend who wanted to be his girlfriend at all costs and was always in the middle to hinder their couple, was a real nuisance. How nervous, I personally would have sent her miles away. What a toxic and invasive person! Same thing for the little doctor who had designs on Bu Yan. A real obsession!
I wonder... wouldn't it have been better to say what the problem was and how things were?
This poor guy was beaten, threatened, "bought", betrayed and despite this he always proved to be a good person. Much respect.

This is my first time reviewing a Japanese series. Completely different from the K-drama and C-drama I usually watch. Maybe the different culture leads to apologizing many times and always addressing the person you are talking to by their name, but this makes everything slower and more boring. If you then add reflections to the spoken language, everything becomes heavier. I didn't find the plot very interesting either. This 35-year-old woman reluctant to believe that a 26-year-old boy really loves her.

Good chemistry between main leaders.I love protective men and here the main character is just like that.
Its charm had already struck me in another series I saw (Fireworks of my heart).
The leading female protagonist gives liveliness and you can't get bored. I watched 32 episodes in a heartbeat and would watch more episodes too.
In this series you can find: long-standing love, fraternal friendship, devotion to the chief, a bastard father on the one hand and a loving grandfather on the other and much more.
I also liked the secondary characters and the OST.
I was only upset about one thing: he gave up immediately and didn't fight to keep his little brother with him that he raised so lovingly for about ten years.

Games and cooking
Great idea to group the actors of 3 dramas into teams. This way you have the opportunity to get to know them better off set.The 3 teams were made up of the cast of:
Itaewon Class, Love in the Moonlight and The Sound of Magic.
In my opinion the fifth episode was the worst. It's a miracle if they didn't freeze to death. Brrrr what a bad thing to keep them in the rain, in freezing water and even in the wind. What a merciless moment! For these poor kids it was more about survival than retreat.
I felt sorry for them.
Their effort was truly commendable.
The last 2 episodes are about their culinary skills put to use for different fans. They prepared the menus, went shopping, then cooked and served the tables non-stop for an entire day. They proved to be humble and collaborative. Well done everyone but in particular the great chef Park Seo Joon who was very professional in the cooking, in the organization and in the relationship with his companions and guests. Really a boss.

Only in Korea, the 1st January all the 19th become adult of 20th!
4 girls and 4 guys begin this special school to become responsabilies adults, then 2 days after 2 others would join them. It's end december, they are all 19 years old and just in few days they enter in a majory year. Yes, because the strange thing is that ONLY in Korea, the 1st January all the 19th become adult of 20th!The first school rule is, until 20th, no relationship! They have interesting lessons, 2 clubs (astronomy & ping-pong), activities, couple sport...
Everyone are very very cute and handsome.
I have cold myself only seeing these poors to freeze.
Things will change in "the 20th House". It's seems they have more pressure and responsibilities as adults. They drunk a lot, but the ritual it's how a penalty almost a joy but drinking give them a brave to say and ask what they want.
I find girls more direct than boys. They are all struggling to say "no", but when they do, it is with respect and sensitivity.
The pride of showing their ID card is so tender.
I liked the 4 watchers with their analysis and comments.
Everyone of the cast was great. Theirs personalities, some more shy who more extroverted, who direct and who more reflective but still all who have given their best. Congratulations to these guys.
The couple between the exuberant Lee-Ji and the shy Peong-Seok I found it of an infinite sweetness and harmony. Always smiling and ready to help in the kitchen or to listen and reassure homemates. Truly splendid.

Legendary firefighters
Fantastic actors (captain and instructor... first and foremost) and also a beautiful OST.I really loved this series. Like a drug... I watched 40 episodes in just 1 week.
Lovers separated from a rich family for status! After 10 years their feelings don't seem dead.
It's not easy to maintain attention and be interesting for so many episodes. I cry, I laugh, I'm worried, sad... and a hundred other feelings. When he was on the verge of dying twice and she saved him and cried: heartbreaking, when he officially introduces her to his subordinates: touching,...
I found a good balance between firefighter scenes and couple moments, between hospital scenes and family issues. Good work.
Wow... I will definitely carry these characters in my heart.
