love and death in the moonlight
finished 8.5/10 🌟one of the cdramas that I waited the most for this year because of my beautiful bailu
in general it was good, I won't say that it is the most impressive story I have seen but it defended itself as best it could with with good plot twists and excellent chemistry between its protagonists 👏
what I liked:
the first 25 chapters of the drama were super interesting and full of action
the excellent chemistry between the secondary couple, I dare say that towards the end they surpassed the main characters themselves
the ost was very nice, I loved the songs
what I didn't like:
i watched the filler in the last 10 chapters in x2
the amount of unnecessary deaths, it's as if the writers said that anyone who breathed near baishuo and fanyue had to die LOL
the ending was sooooo meh, I've never liked those 5 minute half-baked endings, and the solution was so simple
i'll end my mini review by recommending this cdrama for its special effects and acting.

story with tremendous wasted potential!
kdrama that had great potential and in the last 5 chapters the story declined catastrophically, no matter how much the protagonists tried to save the story, if you have a terrible script and chapters to develop, nothing can save what is wrong. Sangmin's performance stood out! I have become his fan, I hope he does more romantic comedies in the future, he has a lot of potential 👏 The cameos at the end made me laugh, as if they could save something from all that. I will not repeat it in the futureWas this review helpful to you?

a war conflict mixed with explosive chemistry
finished 8.5/10Overall, I think the drama fulfilled its purpose: it presented us with a plot full of international espionage and suspense... The acting was well executed, and I was pleasantly surprised by the romantic arc of the leads and the excellent chemistry they had on screen... without a doubt, one of the best I've seen in recent years.
Now, let's talk about the script. At times, it seemed somewhat implausible and tended to imitate the trends of international series, deviating a bit from what we're used to seeing in a kdrama. Personally, I didn't like the ending very much, not only because of its open ending but because I would have preferred Munju to put aside the politics that were undoubtedly a very painful part of her life, but I'm just giving my personal opinion... Recommended if you want to see something full of action and adrenaline + an explosive couple in many areas.

the absolute queen!
finished 8.5/10 ✨💞a drama that not many liked because of its high sexual content and scenes of violence.
However, I really liked it... I highlight the performances of Changwook and Jeon Jong Seo who were fundamental pieces in the game for me.
Excellent setting, great sets, very well made costumes and a great script.
If I had something to criticize it would be the ending, I was missing a couple of chapters to explain what happened in the final war and not leave it so open but in general very good 👏

a woman fighting for her honor and destiny
finished 8.5/10 ⭐️This is one of the dramas I was most looking forward to this year... Overall, the story was good. It had positive and negative aspects, in my opinion.
What stands out most is the lead couple. Both Cheng Lei and Zhou Ye did a magnificent job of developing an overflowing and vibrant chemistry.
Zhou Ye's character was very well constructed, a dominant and strong woman, but not condescending or cruel... a perfect balance between serenity and strength...
Cheng Lei is a new actor to me. I'd only seen him in MJTY, and I'm glad to see that he's being given the opportunities he deserves... I hope to see more of his work in the future.
I think the drama had some serious flaws in the script and some chapter cuts. They did what they could with the story, but some gaps and horrible editing cuts were noticeable.
The last six chapters added unnecessary filler, and some scenes didn't meet my expectations, although I'm happy with the ending.
I recommend this drama if you're looking for a strong FL, a determined and bold ML, iconic fight scenes, and chemistry that leaps off the screen.

a revenge buried for years
finished 8.5/10 🌟If I had one word to describe this kdrama, it would be: realism.
One of the factors I liked most was the way greed and power were portrayed.
Each of the characters was wrapped in a web of secrets... Park Hyungsik, what an actor he is! 👏
He was a 10/10 for his character. 🔥
The journey we took with Dongjun and his struggle to give back everything that was taken from him was filled with difficulties and it wasn't perfect or satisfactory which I liked because it shows that revenge is sometimes not the best solution
Hu Joon Ho is an excellent villain. His character, besides being cruel, had a charisma that I loved.
If I'm honest, his ending was very fitting because he deserved to pay for what he did and live in humiliation.
There were two things I didn't like very much:
1) Eunnam's character was given absolute relevance at the beginning, only to then deflate her character and leave everything super flat. What a waste of plot.
2) I wish they'd explored the storyline of the team that helped Dongjun with his revenge more.
They just appeared, and then, bam! It's like they vanished into thin air. 🤡
I recommend the drama if you're looking for power and a political thriller full of revenge 👏

A love affair and a financial crisis in the 90s
finished: 9/10 ⭐What I liked most:
A human drama that focused on the real financial crisis that Korea experienced in the 90s and how it affected the people involved.
Superb direction and cinematography that made you feel like you were part of that era 🩷 A beautifully written romance + a pair of actors with excellent chemistry ✨
The most interesting thing is that this drama doesn't have romance as its central theme, and yet it was much better developed than other projects I've seen so far this year.
What I didn't like:
I think they added some unnecessary filler in the last two episodes, and they didn't tie up the important loose ends.
I would have liked, for example, a scene of Miseon being introduced as Taepyong's girlfriend in front of his mother 🥺
Also, the "villains," although the ending was very human and nothing grand, it still lacks that something for me to love it 100%.
But overall, I think it's a very good drama and worth checking out. 👏

a second chance at life and love
finished 10/10 💞✨One of the best dramas I've seen this year and in general
a work by an unknown director, actors without much relevance, but all in all it gave a beautiful work 👏
34 well-distributed, structured chapters without fillers, a script that was up to par, an incredible chemistry between the protagonists that went beyond the screen 🫶
a satisfying ending where all the subplots closed in a very well done way
CDRAMA OF THE YEAR!
I hope the protagonists get more work in the future, they showed that they have everything to carry a class A project on their shoulders.

ROMANTIC COMEDY OF 2024
finished 9.5/10 🌟ROMANTIC COMEDY OF THE YEAR
As the saying goes: I was looking for copper and found diamonds.
excellent chemistry of minah and youngdae ✨
He was heavily criticized when the characters were chosen but he was able to silence many mouths 🤭
script that masterfully mixes comedy, drama and romance... a main couple with a beautiful story, a secondary couple well done and explained
Minor things I would criticize: Hae Yeong's work life wanted something more and not the ex succeeding... a couple more chapters to develop certain things but in general I enjoyed it a lot 👏

a legend is born!
finished 10/10 💞✨I loved every single aspect of this story... a well-written script, a luxury cast, excellent special effects and an ost of beautiful songs.
A very mature and at the same time tender leading couple, both were not looking for love, only to be faithful to their destiny and duty, but life brought them together and they decided to fight for their destiny.
an incredible chemistry 1000/1000 💖
the most perfect ending I could wish for, I hope you give this drama a chance you won't give up

Disappointing fantasy!
finished!In general I liked how it started, the different stories and how they helped the spirits get their second chance.
then the story went downhill, the script became terrible and I had expectations for certain characters and they were not given the closure that I would have liked
The only thing that saved is the leading couple, they gave me very nice moments and they had a 10/10 chemistry ✨
The ending left me something??? some twists that didn't make sense and the final scene was too simple

love story full of tenderness
I'll be honest! I'm not a fan of cdramas because most of them are very long and so many chapters overwhelm me!but seeing myself in a blockage I decided to give it a chance to see something different... I loved it in many possible ways!
It highlighted the incredible chemistry of the protagonists that for me crossed the screens, a beautiful story of love and improvement where forgiveness and second chances are the protagonists
A special mention to the ost that has wonderful songs, a big fan!

a cellular love
finished 9/10 ⭐A drama I've wanted to watch for a while but kept putting off 😅
Overall, I really enjoyed it... I think the most remarkable thing was Yumi's cells. They made me laugh and at the same time seemed super adorable in every situation 🩷 I liked the development of Yumi and Woong's romantic relationship; it felt very natural and realistic, reflecting how love is viewed today.
I had my theories about why their relationship wasn't successful in the end, and I was super surprised by how it all turned out 🥲
Now I can say I'm ready for season two 🙌
Let's go! 🔥

a veterinarian and a police officer in a small town
finished 7.5/10 ⭐️i'll be honest: I watched this kdrama because of the lead actor, since I really liked his performance in The Trauma Code and Head Over Heels... I think it was generally good, but it had a lot of script issues... There were also some very unpleasant characters that made it difficult to enjoy the plot as such.
The ex-girlfriend thing, the best friend in love thing, was given too much importance when they could have focused on the romantic growth of the protagonists.
The ending was very meh. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't like it either; it was too weak... which is a shame because the main couple had a lot of potential.

an adaptation worth seeing ?
finished 9/10 🌟I must say it's one of the best adaptations I've seen in a long time
I was afraid it wouldn't be up to the Korean standard, but overall they managed to give it a good performance 👏
I liked the main characters and the story... they managed to give it their typical J-drama touch, which I loved.
The villains were also up to par, my respect 👏
The chemistry was present although I admit that I would have liked more romantic moments and more kisses 🤭
I loved the villains' ending and I feel like it was the best part of it all ❤️🔥
If I'm honest, this is how I wanted the Korean version of karma to be.
Yes, I think he wanted a wedding and children and it was strange that after 10 years they finally proposed to each other, but the truth is it didn't bother me that much ✨
I recommend this version, the same as the original story but still different in essence 👏
