On Liver or Die Apr 28, 2023
Title Liver or Die
I'm not sure what's the writer trying to do. There are 5 sibling who encounter every imaginable individual/familial problem every single episode. There was no period of recovery, problem after another until the writer ran out of episodes otherwise she would keep writing more problems. The problems didn't really help progress the story as much as just prolong its run. There's no real development. After the end credits they will get back to being their usual miserable selves but maybe they will drag more people into their misery now they're married. The formula is simple and the fix is even simpler. Reduce the amount of ridiculous problems, give the characters more depth and bigger problems rather than more problems. These problem should be characters defining type of problems.

If I had to take a guess, the writer mainly writes daily dramas and writing for a smaller series was an unfamiliar territory for her. This showed by how things changed around the end, just like any daily drama. The change came because they ran out of episodes. I wanted to like the drama but it's in a non-functional state. Yet, it had some nice moments and some dark humor at times which makes it kinda watchable.

On Oh, the Mysterious Apr 27, 2023
Beyond stupid and not in an entertaining way. More plot holes than a Swiss cheese. Practically unwatchable. Both leads didn't have the cop/detective energy at all.

On Different Dreams Apr 27, 2023
Immersion-breaking scuffed production, tone deaf story, mediocre performance and all around plain boring 3.5/10.

On Justice Apr 26, 2023
Title Justice
The drama needed to move faster or take a different route or get shortened because after a very long build up and endless anticipation the delivery/payoff wasn't quite as impactful as I expected. Some later parts had too much running around, silence and a lack of communication. You can tell they were trying to stretch it. Considering the theme of the drama being dark/depressing/sad, the cinematography needed some adjustments. It needed slightly darker colors and saturation, lower brightness and contrast, and less exposure. Considering the theme, I also expected more violence. With all that being said, it's still a decent watch.

On Nail Shop Paris Apr 26, 2023
It's pretty clear and obvious from the very beginning that they were riding on the tomboy train at the time and desperately trying to create a copy of other cross-dressers/tomboy-looking of other popular works. All in all, it's a failed attempt with zero redeeming qualities.

On The Family Is Coming Apr 26, 2023
Don't take the story seriously. It's ridiculous and immoral to add to the bizarre and outlandish setup. Otherwise the comedy wouldn't have worked. Overall, it's an enjoyable watch.

Title Love Story in Harvard Spoiler
>slap on the face. I don't mind spoilers, what do you mean by this?
The male lead (Hyun Woo) gave the female lead (Soo In) a full force cold-hearted soul-piercing open-hand slap on the face breaking all the norms for males not slapping females. It's a very well deserved slap. They were madly in love and even made big promises but the next day female lead disappeared for 3 or 5 years without saying a single word. If I remember correctly, her reason was that the longer she stays with him the more she will love him so better off end it early for their own sake, something about their carriers/studies/families.

Title Basketball
They had an idea but awful execution. Scuffed production, barely serviceable performance, dead story, and bad basketball players. Also, very yucky triangle.

Title Super Family
The squeaky sound effects got seriously unbearable sometimes. The second half wasn't that good, it had less comedy in general and wasn't as funny.

On The Best Chicken Apr 25, 2023
Fried chicken init! As a chicken connoisseur, I don't approve this. The dirtiest chicken restaurant I know serves better chicken than this guy's chicken. Anyway, the drama was straight up not good, even the cast was meh. Also, it would be better off if they removed the romance and made more chicken instead.

On Sweden Laundry Apr 25, 2023
Once the grandmother appeared halfway through the first episode I knew exactly what kind of show this was going to be. It's one of those cheap ones that somewhat managed to broadcast 16 episodes. Incoherent bad story, it doesn't even work as a slice of life. It's like a very long scuffed Youtube skit. A waste of cast.

On Mama Apr 25, 2023
Title Mama
It's pretty clear what you are getting yourself into and it delivers just that to a certain extent. I personally found it unnecessarily long. Which is why it took a more melodrama route than a familial/drama route. Which is also why it took some time to get to the point. It does nothing new, however, it remains a decent tear-jerker. That final scene on the motorcycle was a nice touch.

Title Missing 9
Just like most mysteries, they fall apart halfway through and this one was no exception. The outcome was unbelievably bad and the whole thing had more plot holes than a Swiss cheese. Regarding the cinematography, the levels, exposure and contrast were slightly off but distracting (mostly on the island). I checked both Netflix and the TV version and both had the same thing. Luckily it's an easy fix for me with PotPlayer.

On Plus Nine Boys Apr 24, 2023
The 19 years old (Kang Min Gu) was the worst story, cringe bland boring, him and his girlfriend. Then there's the 9 years old who finds himself in a career slump and lost his 8 years old girlfriend to his rival! His story was short and funny since it was just a comedic relief. The other two stories were good. Although I would prefer if it was shorter since the story seemed too thin. Overall, it's a decent watch.

On Joseon Survival Apr 24, 2023
Even if we were to disregard what happened to the drama, it's still not good. Right from the beginning, episode 1 was straight up bad and it never got better. Even as a stand alone Joseon or time-travel drama, it's wonky and tacky. This drama got more holes than a swiss cheese. It reminds me of one of those Isekai anime where the dude transfer to another world with his smartphone/knowledge/expertise or anything give him an advantage which also allow for a very lazy writing to fill up a big chunk of episodes.

Title Monstar
It's the usual idol lead in a school with sobby troubled teens cliches done to the cringest degree.
Not cute. Not entertaining. Not funny. Not romantic. And definitely not a good music themed one. This drama seems to serve as a promotion piece for Yong Jun Hyung.

On Your Neighbor's Wife Apr 24, 2023
It took forever to get to the spicy bits but the comedy was really good. At the same time, some of the tangents were seriously boring. It's a light infidelity drama, it doesn't get too serious and melo. Neither of the couples got too far but the damage was done. There was some pacing issues as well, it didn't need 22 episodes.
