    7. Quartet

    Japanese Drama - 2017, 10 episodes

    8.5

    A unique, intriguing and touching story about a group of average musicians trying to do the best possible they can, given their dark pasts, secrets, weaknesses, circumstances and personalities, through their devotion to music, their bonding and friendship.
    I loved how the set-up of each scene spoke with its viewers rather than having the actors say much, but also the brilliant, unconventional dialogues.

    https://mydramalist.com/profile/penel/feeds/v4gLNFx
    "A life isn't valued by what one receives, but by what one gives."

    A whimsical tragi-comedy -spiced with musical elements- told in flashbacks/glimpses into the troubled, frivolous and vibrant life of Matsuko.
    With an outstanding cinematography, full of vivid colours and an outlandish as well as unforgettable style, this jarring sarcastic fairytale isn't for everyone, but definitely deserves a try.

    15. Castaway Diva

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    8.5

    An inspirational coming of age / found family story full of dreams, emotions, talent and heart.
    Park Eun Bin’s acting and singing performance was exceptional, and the solid core of this powerful yet comfort drama.

    A groovy, smooth-watching short drama, full of music and sweetness!

  • G-Senjou no Anata to Watashi

    18. G-Senjou no Anata to Watashi

    Japanese Drama - 2019, 10 episodes

    8.0

    A light and fresh slice-of-life drama centered on classical music and friendship.
    Nakagawa Taishi as Rihito-kun was so adorable and Matsushita Yuki as Yukie so heartwarming :)

  • The Hymn of Death

    22. The Hymn of Death

    Korean Drama - 2018, 6 episodes

    8.0

    It could have been much better with this cast, but it felt somehow 'procedural' and rushed - not that inspiring for such a real tragic love story...

  • Must You Go?

    40. Must You Go?

    Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes

    7.5

    It's cheesy, fluffy, with a rather non-sensical plot that would have been a flop with longer or more eps, but not that bad for a mini drama.

  • One More Time

    41. One More Time

    Korean Drama - 2016, 8 episodes

  • Saving Rock

    45. Saving Rock

    Japanese Drama - 2019, 10 episodes

    7.5

    If you overlook the overacting and overdramatic expressions here and there, it was funny, unique and had a great bromance.

  • A Piece of Your Mind

    46. A Piece of Your Mind

    Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes

    7.5

    It took me a while to warm up to it, but overall this slow-paced, healing story was a nice watch.

    Beautiful cinematography and colouring, ethereal directing and acting were its strongest elements, while the confusing first episodes, the overly dramatic tone of the last episodes and, especially, the feeling that sometimes 'it was trying too much' to tug at our heartstrings, weakened the final outcome.

  • Dream Knight

    47. Dream Knight

    Korean Drama - 2015, 12 episodes

    7.5
  • Warm Hug

    48. Warm Hug

    Chinese Movie - 2020

    7.5

    Surprisingly entertaining, though it's a non-brainer quasi-musical comedy, spiced with melodrama hints. The best part were the visuals, the colour palette and Li Qin's charms.

  • Kokoro no Ito

    49. Kokoro no Ito

    Japanese Special - 2010, 1 episode

    7.5

    Bittersweet, simple, yet touching slice-of-life story of a boy and his hearing impaired mother, full of loud silences and mellow piano music.

  • Drama Special Season 13: Stain

    50. Drama Special Season 13: Stain

    Korean Special - 2022, 1 episode

    7.5

    https://mydramalist.com/profile/penel/feeds/15w4pfR
    A compelling, dark and twisted story, serving also as a social commentary, of an unprivileged young man and the depths of his desperation to achieve his dream.

  • Let's Go Karaoke!

    51. Let's Go Karaoke!

    Japanese Movie - 2024

    7.5

    A funny, heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship, with lots of melodies and cacophonies, comic and dramatic moments.
    The storytelling could have been much better and the characters more properly fleshed out, but overall the movie was enjoyable thanks to the great chemistry between rookie Saito Jun and veteran Ayano Go, whose performance was totally on point even though his voice was hilariously off beat.

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    What a waste of potential...
    Sorry, Lee Sang Yoon!
    Even the white truck of doom couldn't save it...

    https://mydramalist.com/profile/penel/feeds/3bwaEotm
    Cute, funny (and noisy) music/youth story, combining classical and traditional chinese music, with an extra dose of romance and friendship.

  • Go Go 70s

    56. Go Go 70s

    Korean Movie - 2008

    7.0

    https://mydramalist.com/profile/penel/feeds/4aRrzruB
    Nostalgic and uplifting, with a fantastic Shin Min Ah and a cute, young Cho Seung Woo.
    A biopic about The Devils, a Korean rock band, Singing and dancing rock'n'roll, with a not-so-subtle political subtext about the struggles and acts of defiance of young people against the repressive authorities.

  • 20-Year-Old Soul

    57. 20-Year-Old Soul

    Japanese Movie - 2022

    7.0

    https://mydramalist.com/profile/penel/feeds/dXQ6kcB
    Bitter-sweet, inspiring but too predictable and 'noisy'.
    Definitely not the best work of Kamio Fuju (he did put a lot of effort but he was a mismatch).
    But, knowing this is based on a true story and a real person, it hits different and most of its mishaps can be overlooked.

  • Hip Hop Teacher
