An underrated saguek medical drama, depicting the journey of a young veterinarian, of a low caste and a birth secret, to becoming the Royal Doctor. Though it was long and had some pacing and repetition problems, the interesting characters (one of the very few kings that wasn't pure evil or just a puppet, some rare SML and SFL that weren't scheming or infuriatingly annoying), the exceptional acting from all cast members, the inspiring and heartwarming story and -last but not least- the fantastic performance from Cho Seung Woo, made this drama a very enjoyable watch. A hidden gem and one of Cho Seung Woo's best roles.
Though I admittedly started this school/delinquent themed drama for Mamiya Shotaro, I ended up really enjoying this wacky, over-the-top, noisy, funny and heartwarming, feel-good story. Kudos to the family's dog, Matsu, and his inner monologues!
As much as I loved Yoon Kye Sang's charms and sexiness, this drama failed to become memorable. Too bad that, after a promising, intriguing and spicy start, it lost its spark somewhere in the middle, and became nonsensical during the last two incoherent episodes...
A heart-warming, feel-good food drama, spiced with small boosts of slice-of-life, romance and character development. Happiness from preparing and sharing a tasty snack, a family Sunday meal or a picnic. Bonding through sharing the same dreams and all the trivial, little things in life. Time well-spent :)
Not gonna lie, if it wasn't for Takeshi Kaneshiro that would have been a disaster... The story was too far-fetched, borderline disturbing in some parts, and very similar to k-drama makjangs.
A decent watch, though with a not very satisfying development of the leads backstories and a fast-forward feeling to it, but entertaining enough. In any case, if the only purpose of watching a remake is the comparison with the original series, then I don't really see the point of such a time investment...
Can a drama with a protagonist having all the flaws of an antagonist (cold, highly ambitious, arrogant, selfish, manipulative, self-righteous, petty and awfully scheming) be addicting and entertaining? Yes, if Shin Ha Kyun is the main lead!
One of the most disappointing remakes... Woori's badly written (and acted) character was not in the slightest close to the quirky, creative and adorable 'original' character of Jane - a real waste of time :/
A heartwarming coming of age movie, full of nostalgia and childhood summer vibes. A bittersweet story delivered by some talented child actors' delightful performances.
An enjoyable action/comedy manga adaptation, despite its flaws. Its main advantages are the great cast and their memorable personas, as well as the impressively choreographed action scenes. Though the movie's multi-genre mixture (slapstick humor, parody, action, thriller, drama, romance) makes the story rather inconsistent and imbalanced sometimes, the fact that it definitely doesn't take itself seriously is what makes it unique and entertaining.

Nothing very memorable, but entertaining for a weekend binge-watch.
Yes, if Shin Ha Kyun is the main lead!
