Le Sserafim is one of the group that the debut is i look forward to. Since there's 2 ex-Izone members, Sakura & Chaewon, and PD48 trainee, Huh Yunjin. Despite the controversies, their debut was amazing! I love all of the songs in the album. It's been months after the release and I still didn't get tired listening to their songs.

After watching this I'm amazed by all of the girls bravery. This documentary shows that debuting under big company doesn't mean they had it easy, they go through so much and work harder for better results to get where they are now.

It's amazing how Kazuha could keep up with the other girls within short training period. Sakura finally getting a proper training where she could improve her skills. Chaewon could show different side of her than the ones she shows during izone days, Yunjin could finally perform on stage, and Eunchae could also show her potential despite her young age. They have great dynamic together and really living up to their name, FEARLESS.
For Haruka, seeing how the mentors compliment her seems like she had great potential. I hope she could also debut soon.

Other impressing thing is the editing. If i wasn't a fan of the group, i would've thought it's originally 5 membered group. But for those who knows, you could notice there are lots of scenes that oddly zoomed in and the awkwardly edited interviews.

For the question why did they have to edit Garam out, my speculation it's because Garam is no longer in the company. So it's illegal to show her, it would've create backlash and she could sue the company since they're making profit of her without her being in the company.
I understand for those reasons they couldn't show her. But imagine how interesting it would be if they allow the girls to talk about Garam, what kind of relationship they had and how they went through all of the scandal.

Overall i love this documentary, it's just 20 minutes long with 4 episodes. If you're a new fan or you just like Le Sserafim in general. I'd recommend this.

When this season released last year, i avoid watching it because I think it'll makes me sad since it's the last ot12 eating trip.
But now there's another show with same concept with izone's members, so i decided to finally watch it. And I'm glad i did (≧▽≦)

All of the girls were so funny and really loud. The activities/games they did looks so fun and the FOODS ♡♡ it makes me wanna try them. The making of self-made music video was really hilarious too ^^

However watching this makes me miss IZ*ONE ㅠㅠ I really wish they have another season together as ot12

I've watched the kdrama version and i liked it. It only had 2 episodes, each episode is 1 hour 10 minutes. The story was fast paced and nicely developed, but i feel like the ending a bit rushed.

This version was okay. Maybe because there's more episodes (24), it get stretch out and focused too much on the school part. The added side stories making the plot's focus slowly faded. Making it less of a time travel and more of youth drama.
I do like the school part, it was funny and nostalgic, but it should've only focused on the main character's story. And even with more episodes, the last few episodes still felt rushed.

Overall, it was enjoyable
I skip lots of the filler scenes, but i still enjoy most of the drama. Also the songs used were really good too, even though they overplayed it a bit.
If you're watching this don't hope much for the time travel plot, just enjoy it as it goes.

Story of The Samurai and White Cat

I was expecting a slapstick manga-like comedy when i started watching. But it wasn't.

The story was about how the male lead turns from a cold/self-centered man to a more caring human being, after meeting the cat.
Male lead, Madarame, i think he had the grumpiest face ever. I love his interaction with Tamanojo. I was kinda surprised the cat didn't have any dialog. But she did awesome just by being present (♡‿♡)

Acting was great!
The pacing was okay, the problem is they replayed some flashbacks for too many times.

The music fits the vibe
"Kirubeshi, Kirubeshi, Kirubeshi"

Overall it's a purr-fect watch ^^
It's only 20 minutes per episode, so it's easy to rewatch.

The story focuses on 3 couples;

- Main couple, JuA-MinHo
It took them the whole 12 episode to finally got together. I get it that they were friends for years, but it's just too much. They showed so little chemistry as couple. Might as well end it with them still being best friends.

- 2nd couple, JiMin-HaNeul
I like the beginning when they were together. But when Rosa start to meddle it's just annoying, on top of that she got too much screentime. I started to think she's one of the main character.
Also the whole break up was dragged for too long, i started to ship JiMin with the other guy.
Even though i got frustrated from Jimin's actions sometims, I really like how she defend herself and the way she confront Rosa.

- 3rd couple, Young-MokJin
The only couple I'm rooting for
They didn't really match at first. But their development was the best. Mokjin the neat-lover and Young's straightforwardness makes them a perfect couple. They got the least screentime, but for me their chemistry is the best.

I like how they depicted the college life, how the characters faced the reality of looking for jobs, lack of financial, the problem with group projects. And the side story like MinHo's relationship with his sister and JuA with her mother.

The cinematography was really good.
Honestly didn't really noticed/like the music used until the last episodes.

The reason why i give low score for rewatch is because I'm not into college drama these days and I watch this solely because of the actors. And I'm not disappointed, their acting was good.
However the storyline wasn't really my favorite.

The beginning was fine. There's some illogical stuff, but I ignore it. I was guessing it's gonna be a brainless rom-com.

Main leads interaction was funny, but there's almost no romantic chemistry between them. They looked uncomfortable during skinship scenes. Their lack of communication is so silly. They're adults they could've just talk it out, but instead they keep assume the worst and lying, it's kinda frustrating. Then the ending was also really rushed. It feels like there's few parts went missing.

I like the comedy, PD lady, and the OST.
The PD lady definitely the character that got me through the whole show, she's just really funny. Btw the flashbacks part was good though, it gives a good explanation of the characters.

Overall
I thought I'm gonna hate it, because most of the reviewers says it was really bad. But after watching it... It was shoddy, but not that bad. I probably won't rewatch or recommend it. But it was entertaining.

Storyline in the beginning was refreshing; love triangle between the merchant, gang leader, and the Prince. There's also plot revolving the silkworm business.
But after 20 episode, after the missing prince story, it turns really draggy - it takes very long time for the leads to be together, annoying jealous side characters, palace politics. Also the plot holes; FL can't hold weapon & ML can't be close with woman, seems like after few episodes they forgot about this. Which makes me skipping a lot of scenes.

Other things that i liked :
- Bai Lu's portrayal as the gang leader
- sidekicks love story
- even with all those predictable twists, the ending for the main couple was good

The acting was great. The music was so-so. I don't really notice it.

Overall it's okay, but i won't recommend it.

The plot is refreshing and new for kbl, but there's too much plot holes and illogical things happening. Acting was convincing. The music wasn't really what i like, but it fits the mood.


!!!
First of all, Jae Woo was behaving strangely creepy. And when he go back to 15 years ago, how did he survived, to buy food, pay rent, clothes? He definitely can't used his money.
When did Ji Hoon started to like Jae Woo?? The uncle/nephew turning into romantic relationship?
And the most important of all... Since they knew who the killer is and when the incident gonna happen, why not just reported it to the police instead? But i guess if they did, then Jae Woo and Ji Hoon can't be lovers because of the huge age gap...
And that ending, why is it 2022 again??

Btw i thought maybe the dorm owner had something to do with the whole time travel thing. But i guess she didn't...
Also Hyung Jin is such a sweet guy. I wish I had a friend like him

It was very confusing, but i didn't hate it.
If i just forget the fact that they start as uncle/nephew i could actually enjoy the romance.

Another fun journey of The White Cat and The Samurai

I was expecting this to be the continuation of season 2, since the last episode was abruptly ended. But turns out it wasn't.

Like the title says, it's their journey in southern island. Some of the characters from the drama did appear. But there's more new characters introduced.
Their journey was really funny. There's some good fighting scenes, Madarame's shows more expression, and Tamanojo got a new 'companion'.

Personally i like this movie more because it has more comedy. There are some illogical things happening and the story was really predictable, but i don't have problem with it. Also the ending song was so GOOD!

Despite having sexual content in the tag, it doesn't come out so sensual/erotic. Instead i find it really funny and relatable at times. The friendship and interaction between the coworkers are so fun to watch. Everyone had their own 'secret' hobby. But still can talk comfortably about it without getting judged.

Even with such short duration they managed to fit all the main characters. I like how they separate the episode into 2 section to tell the character's story.

The only thing i didn't like is the intro song. Idk it's just doesn't feel right to me. Outro song sounds better.

Overall, it's a good drama to watch if you want something light and easy to binge.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo might be not the most perfect brilliant drama ever. But it's fun drama to watch. I go from laughing, crying, smiling, intrigued, angry, and squealing through it all.

I really like how they tackles different case every episode, the way character's story got related to it, and the good message behind it. Even though there's some episodes that ends with vague closure it doesn't affect the enjoyability of this drama for me.

A good enough amount of romance and swoon worthy moments.
I love the comedic elements in the drama. The comedic elements are not forced, it's light-hearted and funny
+ The cgi for the whales were really good.

Dislikes: I feel like JH didn't have a proper character development, his life's kinda revolves around YW.
KMW change of attitude and loveline could've done better, it happened too suddenly
The story weakened towards the end
Rushed ending/plot holes probably on purpose, since they want to save room for the sequel.

The entire cast was superb, no complaints about anyone's acting skills.
Music used were all good. My favorite is 'Beyond My Dreams' by Sunwoojunga.
I'd definitely rewatching this, probably not the whole drama but mostly my favorite episodes.

Overall
Even with the flaws, it's still an enjoyable watch for me
I'd recommend if you like light-hearted law drama with slight romance.

First few episodes is confusing, they keep repeating the same footages from previous episode. And there's a lot of empty scenes where the leads just stare into nothing with ost playing in background.

It took me some time to understand what happened to Jungwoo and why he couldn't write anymore.
The love triangle was interesting, i thought he would end up with Junghyun, but then there's Taeyoung coming between them. Taeyoung is indeed a good guy, he's positive and give good influence. But still, his presence kinda bother me. He clearly knows Jungwoo and Junghyun were together, but he went for it anyway.
And Junghyun, after 3 episodes he made me wonder if he's the villain or not. But i guess he's just a walking red flag.
TBH i don't feel the chemistry between them. The open ending just confuses me even more.

There's also something's missing from the story, but idk what it is...

Overall, it's an okay drama.
Acting was well done and ost was good. The message it trying to describe was good, but the execution is bad.
So i don't think I'd rewatch or recommend this to anyone.

The thriller was there, tiny bit comedy and romance. Every episode was short and keeps me excited to binge.
Usually when watching thrillers the first thing i do is to find who's the real villain, but i can't do that with this drama. Every character had their own flaws, which adds a good twist.
The ending wasn't as impactful as i expected, but it's okay.

The female lead actress was overacting sometimes, which makes her look a bit weird.
Other actors portray their role nicely. Btw Nakyung really shows different image, i only know her as idol, but her she does her role perfectly.

My biggest problem is within the cinematography. The color palette was good, it fits the whole vibe. But it's just too dark. I have to put my screen brightness to 90% to watch most of the scenes. I get it that it's a dark themed drama. But they could use some lights...

A hilarious roller coaster (≧▽≦)

The idea is unique. In this drama it's the female who had a lot of husband, usually it's the other way around. But the storyline is nothing serious.
Like the title, it's about a Princess who married 5 Prince. It might sound complicated, but trust me, it doesn't! The 5 Prince had their own quirk and attitude, so the Princess need to learn to get along with them that was a humorous journey. There's some little twist and turns throughout the story, but it's also a funny one.

It might be a mini drama, but the comedic timing, sound effects, character's expression, and even editing/animation are perfectly done!
I hope there's season 2.

Overall, it's a wholesome short drama, made me laugh from the beginning to the end.
I'd recommended if you want to watch something light and hilarious!
