An emotionally charged road-trip of two wounded and aching souls, who find solace and purpose in life through their confrontations. Though it was heavy on dialogues and dealt with many depressing themes, such as terminal illness, euthanasia and trauma, the great cast and especially the strong bromance between Watanabe Ken and Tsumabuki Satoshi, made this an engaging watch.
An inspirational coming of age / found family story full of dreams, emotions, talent and heart. Park Eun Bin’s acting and singing performance was exceptional, and the solid core of this powerful yet comfort drama.

Intriguing premise in a story with an atypical multi-genre blend about a dysfunctional family with various superpowers. Despite its strong and promising beginning and some very engaging arcs (especially Bok I Na's school life and romance), somewhere in the middle it lost its spark as it relied mainly on the different timelines and an endless back and forth. And, call me shallow but I have to say it: they did Jang Ki Yong dirty by giving him this awful and very distracting haircut!
A slow-paced story balancing unsuccessfully between sports and family genres. In fact, it turned out to be more of a melodrama, with many forced over-dramatic scenes which, unfortunately, weren't the ones on the ring, as they were expected to be. Asahina Aya and her admirable bravery to pick this role for her movie leading debut was the only saving grace.
A touching story about grieving, loss, making amends and the most difficult and complex relationship: the one between a mother and a daughter, with all the complexities, misunderstandings, complaints, love/hate phases of their relationship and their unbreakable bonding. With Kim Hae Sook and Shin Min Ah playing the leading roles and a mellow, soothing cinematography, even though the plot was simple, it was full of heart and motherly love - and some great cooking scenes.
A bittersweet story of a found family, full of heart, warmth and strong emotions. A heartfelt journey of grieving, healing, making amends, character development and second chances in life. Fantastic acting from child actress Yang En You and Zhu Yi Long, with an incredible bonding and chemistry. Highly recommended!

What I consider as a plot-hole may be something everyone else doesn't find annoying, but (without many details not to spoil anything) their hygiene, their injuries treatment and recovery, some of their decisions were too unrealistic to digest.
Yep, it focused more on depiction of the participants' struggles and mentality rather than their development and…
Exactly! That's way I couldn't get much invested in most of them. But, I have to admit that I found 8th floor one of the most intriguing and best acted persona!
A fast-paced and very bingeable death/survival game, showing the depths of human darkness, greed and desperation. Focused mainly on the graphic depiction of the participants' struggles and mentality rather than their character development and background stories, with some difficult to ignore plot-holes and a lukewarm ending, it was saved by its high production value and exquisite cinematography, as well as the exemplary acting of some of the leads.
A police investigation story with strong retro vibes, interesting cases and satisfying wrapping up. Even though I found the comedy elements a bit off sometimes, and Lee Je Hoon overacting and trying too hard from time to time, it was an enjoyable watch with its great bromance and camaraderie being the strongest elements. The scenes with the original Park Young Han, Choi Bool Am, were the most touching and a clever and valuable addition!

While I like the long, messy hair for some actors, this wasn't the case this time...
