Comments: not a bad drama, but I realized nothing much happened till episode 9-10.

Status: completed

Comments: ehhh... if you like a light, fluffy rom-coms it might be for you. but for me, there was no purpose for this drama

Status: completed

Comments: really enjoyed it, it made an effort in terms of the mystery in each case, the dynamics between the characters were fun, acting was amazing

but  most of the female characters are very uninteresting

Status: completed

Comments: I still stand by my comments that this drama is too long, I would skip through most of the scenes that my fast-forward button broke.  nevertheless, found Yang Zi as a charming actress again, and discovered Zhang Wan Yi which is a plus

Status: completed

Comments: it dragged despite having only 12 episodes, i found the mom interesting at first, but then i got confused by her, and then i just couldn't understand her. for Soo Young she was a passive character despite how the writer wanted the audience to perceive her. i love they chose a subtle way, i liked it some days but didn't like it on some days.

Comments: wasn't really interested, but when the second season came out, i had to check it out. 

I got why people loved it and became fans of the series. It's quite quirky, and fun. it relies on B-level/style comedy and with the color and design of the whole show.

Comments: i wasn't expecting it to be this good. and so many a-listers star in this drama, which made me concerned about the pacing and the storytelling, because they might fight for air time, but it has unexpectedly a deep storyline

Comments: very quirky and busy drama. very over-the-top humor and perverted superpower. looked forward to it as it stars actors i have a good impression on, was going to drop it but it's weirdly addicting

Comments: your average well-written crime drama, Chris Wu is amazing

Comments: it's okay, still waiting to make a judgement. but i find it weird that high schoolers are better detectives than the actual detectives 

Status: currently watching

Comments: i think this drama is pretty entertaining, but nothing new or surprising. could be a shorter drama. i think the drama is behind or lagging because i think the audience is much ahead of them and is very slow in unravelling the so-called mystery

Status: currently watching

Comments: your typical Japanese drama, i just love the actors that star in it. i don't get the stylistic choice of having words in the middle on the screen though

Status: currently watching

Comments: i am a fan of the anime and was a little scared that the live-action would be a flop. but to my surprise it was good, it managed to replicate the warmth of the anime, but i think from episode 6 and onwards was not in the anime, not sure if it was in the manga or not (i don't read)

Comments: love WangYang, love Li Landi, enjoying their chemistry so far. 

Status: currently watching

Comments: surprisingly good, but it is pretty predictable. Enjoying JingTain and Feng Shao Feng as a couple. pleasantly surprised to Zhuo Yi Ran

Status: dropped

Comments: subs sucked.

Status: currently watching

Comments: i am enjoying it so far, but we will see if it is good enough for me to see it through

Status: completed

Comments: had really good reviews, so i put it off for a while and finally watched it when season 2 aired. well-choreographed action scenes, the actions did a really good job portraying the charms of each character, So Mun is sweetheart, Ha Na is sexy, Ajuma is such a mom, and Mo Tak is a ball of sunshine 

Status: pending further judgment

Comments: i'm still thinking about it, but honestly not what i expected

Status: dropped

Comments: a fan of Chen Xiao, and hoping Gulinazha gets better at her job, subs suck. there are better contemporary dramas out there and unfortunately not good enough for me

Status: currently watching

Comments: not as good as the first one
