Me Too, Flower!, a romantic comedy that does a lot of good!

Me Too, Flower! is a good drama. I enjoy this drama. To begin with, I really appreciate the cause that Bong Sun champions. Indeed, the wage gap between men and women is unequal, and this is why she speaks out. However, it is unfortunate that as the episodes progress, this aspect, which I find very interesting, is not further explored. Regarding the characters, the duo of Bong Sun and Jae Hee, played by Lee Ji Ah and Yoon Si Yoon, is adorable. Falling in love due to disputes is quite uncommon. Moreover, a special mention to actress Lee Ji Ah, who is MAGNIFICENT; I just learned about her personal life. As for the OST, it matches the atmosphere of the drama well. Overall, this drama is a pleasure to watch.

Death Note (2015), a sober but successful drama

As a fan of the *Death Note* anime, I’m pleasantly surprised by this drama adaptation. The actors portray their characters well, and the story is faithfully retold, despite a few small inconsistencies and some creative liberties taken with the plot. Speaking of characters: Some characters don’t appear in the drama, like Naomi Misora, Kiyomi Takada, Mihael Keehl (Mello) — whom I’ll discuss more later — Halle Bullook (Hal Linder), and Mail Jeevas (Matt). Most of these are secondary characters, so I don’t find their absence too bothersome. Another important point, why is Near portrayed as a female, played by Mio Yuki, with a dual personality that includes Mello, when both characters are male in the original? Overall, this drama has nothing to envy of the anime, even though it’s shorter.

Playful Kiss, disappointment

Playful Kiss remains somewhat mixed for me. Indeed, this drama revolves around two main characters, namely Sung Jo and Ha Ni. Unfortunately, both characters were a disappointment in my opinion. On one hand, there's Sung Jo, the handsome and intelligent one, but also cold and arrogant. On the other hand, there's Ha Ni, the girl who tries to win Sung Jo's heart but comes off as clumsy and overly clingy. It frustrates me how they continually act stubbornly and fail to grow throughout the episodes.

Overall, I just didn't enjoy the story and their personalities, despite the strong performances by the actors Kim Hyun Joon and Jung So Min, although occasionally they seemed a bit exaggerated. Despite being new to Korean dramas, besides the two actors mentioned above, I did notice some talented actors and actresses like Lee Tae Sung, whose funny scenes stood out, Lee Si Young, and Abigail Alderete. The OST appropriately matches the romantic ambiance of the drama.

Kill Me, Heal Me: how the drama intricately explores the complexity of the human mind

Kill Me, Heal Me is an outstanding drama and one of my top favorites of 2015! This drama is excellent and brings out the most emotions in me throughout the series. The plot is very well-developed, especially regarding the origin of Do Hyun's illness. How can a man born into a wealthy family develop such a rare syndrome? That's the central question that the drama sets out to solve. As for the main character, Do Hyun, played by Park Ji Sung, his acting is INCREDIBLE! Being able to portray seven personalities without missing a beat and maintaining each personality consistently throughout the episodes without getting lost is SENSATIONAL, making each episode incredibly endearing and funny! He’s one of my favorite actors and stands out in this drama. I also got attached to all the other characters, including Ri Jin (Hwang Jung Eum), Ri On (Park Seo Joon), Han Chae Yeon (Kim Yoo Ri), and some guest appearances, particularly Heo Sook Hee (Kim Seul Gi), who appears in a few episodes. The OST perfectly matches the comedic vibe of the drama, giving it everything it needs to be truly lovable! In short, it's an excellent drama with a unique twist!

City Hunter, my first love for a K-Drama

City Hunter is an excellent drama that evokes the most emotions in me throughout the entire show. The plot is very well-developed, and the fight scenes are truly epic, even memorable. The events then unfold quite rapidly. As for the characters, the duo of Yun Seong and Na Na, portrayed by Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young, is one of the drama's biggest strengths! They are so in sync that they form the most glamorous couple across all dramas. Another important point is that both Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young are SENSATIONAL, and they are among my absolute favorites as actors, especially in this drama! I also grew attached to other characters, namely Choi Da Hye (Goo Hara) and Jin Se Hee (Hwang Seo Hee). The OST perfectly matches the drama's atmosphere. Everything about it makes me absolutely love it! In short, it was my first love that led me to watch other Korean dramas.
