An bittersweet, emotional as well as honest and heartfelt depiction of a loving family of two: a born deaf father and his CODA (child of deaf adult) daughter. A realistic, eye-opening approach of their relationship and everyday life, without any sugarcoating or preachy tones. Their bonding, co-dependance, bantering, differences, problems, unconditional love and acceptance were superbly portrayed by Shofukutei Tsurube and Yoshioka Riho, while her exemplary character growth and sweet romance with Nakajima Yuto were a pleasure to watch. Highly recommended!
A biting social commentary wrapped in sci-fi/futuristic/mystery layers done right. Philosophically challenging and thought-provoking concept questioning our views and beliefs about loneliness, grief, memories, dream and reality, life after death, heaven, happiness. Top-notch production quality, wonderful cinematography and music, and a superb performance from chameleon Shin Ha Kyun in a captivating, binge-worthy outcome. Highly recommended!
A pleasant surprise of Mr & Mrs Smith story approach, in a historical Cdrama setting. Cute, funny and light rom-com, with no annoying characters and a well-fitted couple with amusing banters and good chemistry. A stress-reliever watch!
Typical and predictable teacher-pupils relationship, as well as character development story, with cute little kids and a-pleasure-to-watch Cha Seung Won. Nothing very memorable, but an enjoyable dramedy nonetheless.
Nostalgic and bittersweet, a tribute to the adolescence, friendship and school life, with all the insecurities, struggles, rebellions and bravery, as well as brightness, optimism and innocence. A reminder of our youth, a time when all that mattered was chatting and gossiping with our besties, seeking the secrets of the universe - and of our colleagues...
Na Moon Hee is one of the most sweet and talented halmeonis in korean entertainment industry! Nothing ground-breaking, but nevertheless a heartwarming, cute and feel-good story with this adorable lady in the leading role.
Having watched the original k-movie years ago, the story was already familiar, so the melo, bitter-sweetness and tragedy were expected. Though the actors did a great job (especially Jasper Liu), some timeline confusion induced by editing and pacing issues couldn't be ignored.
Started it (and finished it) for Jang Hyuk... The story was a predictable mixture of tropes used in a couple of famous and successful action movies and the plot messy and unoriginal. Though the action scenes were satisfying - after all, Jang Hyuk never fails to deliver! - the outcome was nothing noteworthy or memorable. Only for avid Jang Hyuk's fans.
Brilliant adaptations of Hoshi Shinichi's short stories with a witty, inventive, thought-provoking (and at times borderline sneering) approach, full of allegories and impactful messages, caustically tackling some timely social issues. Great cinematography and music, many familiar talented faces among the cast.
Again, my heart broke into a million little pieces... not that I'm complaining. Fantastic story, amazing characters, superb acting. Two episodes out so far, and this little gem of a drama deserves all praises!
Dark, depressing, slow-paced and character-driven, this is a story about a woman sentenced to death, the crime she committed (or not), the life she had, the people around her and their selfish motivations. Gripping atmosphere & cinematography, superb performances from Tsumabuki Satoshi & Takeuchi Yuko.
An unorthodox yet very fascinating dystopian, nihilistic and deeply melancholic watching experience. With fantastic night-vision snapshots of Tokyo, sublime cinematography and music, and electrifying performances from all three main leads: Ikeda Elaiza, Nagase Ren and -especially- charismatic Emoto Tasuku, this film may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was definitely unique and captivating.
A road-trip/action story filled with gangsters, loan sharks, car-chase and father issues elements, heavily based on comedy and fast-paced storytelling. It was a funny, easy watch but, unfortunately, the multiple story threads and the unequal mixture of too many different genres resulted in a lukewarm outcome, which the well-known and talented cast couldn't overcome.

Even if there's a second season planned, this can be watched separately.
