A fantastic, really done well, hilarious drama.

Story: It's a story about office workers, their office as well as personal life. The story is presented in a very hilarious way that will make your stomach ace because of laughter.

Characters:
SS: The ML, he is very innocent, hardworking, really clumsy and will definately screw up any task given to him. But overall he is really nice guy who is loyal and likes to help others.
NR: The FL, she is the senior of the ML, she is strict to him and is really hilarious. She always gets in fight with SS because he screw ups. She is a hardworking, straightforward (most of the time), funny and beautiful woman.
MT: He is a son of chairman of rival company, he went to the current company to learn and make something of himself. He tries to learn and adapt to the "normal" way of living.
KM:A normal office worker who is really strong and can't hold her liquor. She and MT are a duo where she teaches him about what normal is for an average person in really hilarious ways.
Other office workers: They all are really hilarious and very likable people. Everything they do is funny, even a "serious moment" would turn into a funny one because of them.
Aziz: He is a South Asian guy who is SS's roommate and like to refer himself in third person. Is a really funny guy with really funny catch phrases.

Acting:
Every single actor here has done an amazing job, their timing of comedy is on point. They will make you laugh with their dialogues as well as with their physical acting. There are some serious moments too which are acted really well by these people.

Likes:
The bromance between SS and MT is really hilarious to watch.
SS and NR's enemies to lovers is really funny and beautiful. They are really good together and give viewers a lot of funny as well as romantic stuffs.
MT and KM, initially they are creditor and debtor who later became student and teacher. They are really funny, especially MT being a rich boy who always misinterprete what "normal is.
MT and KSN, KSN looking out for MT thinking that MT is a poor and delusional guy is really funny
WHB, a gamer who does funny things in his office four walls.
CWW,SHM and KMH, all three are funny where CWW and KMH express themselves too much and SHM rarely shows any expressions.
There are also many hilarious parody scenes or dialogues of many popular dramas and movies. They exaggerated so many things and is a really funny manner.

Dislikes: There are zero things to dislike.

Overall: If you want to laugh, then this is definately a drama for you.

Rating as a casual viewer: 10
Rating as Critique: 10

Note: First two episodes have some references which a person from South Korea can understand. But later and other things in those two episodes are understandable by anyone.

Good First half, Horrible Second half

Story is really simple, Guy likes girl but someone from his family have done something bad to the girl so her can't date her. Most of the dra revolves around the FL, it is actually her story, the other people are there as supporting characters, even the main ones.

First 8-9 episodes had good comedy, romance and the social issues raised. Later it was just repeated things happening like first someone will come with a case, the FL will take it, will make some mistake, ask for ML's help and he will help them reluctantly.

Now about the characters, FL: The is the best part of this drama, she is really cool, smart, beautiful, hot, strong but also have weakness, ready to help, really funny, admits mistake, isn't ashamed to ask for other's help. But sometimes it felt she was doing too much i.e exaggeration of what actually should be done.
ML: He doesn't have any actual aim or goals, everything he does is because of the FL. His whole life revolves around her, He is a "yes man" when it comes to the FL, he may oppose or disagree with her but later he just goes along with her. In later half is seems kind of a pathetic character, whoes only function is to make the FL shine. In honest opinion he is actually the Main Supporting Character not a main character.
The bad guy: No personality, acts like a 5yr old kid, no good motivation.
Supporting Characters: Well they are just supporting, some might have some kind of story in initial episodes but that's it, later they are there just to react to whatever the leads do, mainly the FL.

Cast: Talented and amazing actors, specially the female actor LSY, she is amazing, every scene of her you will find how amazing of an actor she is. LSG, it felt like he was just there for timepass, he had some good scenes to show his acting but most of the time it felt really off.

Genres: It had romance, comedy, slice of life and some thrill too.
Romance: Leads have good chemistry between them, but the romance was exaggerated after they got together. Till episode 8 it's really fun to watch them together.
Comedy: Comedy is actually good throughout the drama. It may be felt off for few moments but over all it was good, not very good.
SoL: You will find this in the first half, it is good and simple. Later the show is more about the FL and the guy she is up against.
Thrill: It is minute so not that much to talk.

Overall: It is a drama where it will take you 2-3 episodes to adjust, then a fun ride till episode 8-9, later it is repeating and boring with many filler episodes.

Note: The portrayal of ML may not be liked by Male audience, as it shows him nothing but a guy having his life revolves around the FL and not having any concept of self.

Dream, Skills, Hardwork, Friendship, Love and Encouragement

The story is about a group of kids who play badminton, their three coaches and their journey to achieve their dream.
The actor have been perfectly cast who play their part very well. There are characters that you will love throughout the drama, there are few who you will love gradually and there are few who will take you to a rollercoaster ride of likeness.
The kids here behave like kids who don't know how the actual world works, the make mistakes and learn from it. They form friendship and rivalry as well. Every main character has an story arc which shows their development creating good stories for side characters as well.
This drama gives us beautiful friendships, the love of parents for their kids, the passion the kids, parents and the coaches have, their dreams, hardwork, making mistakes and improving themselves.
It's hard to pick favourite as most of them are lovable people but if I had to pick one I would say Se Yoon, from her first interaction till last I have nothing but love for her. She is really hardworking, lovable, care for people around her, has morals, value people who care for her, she seems mature but she is still a teenager and she acts like one as well, even being the best she is not arrogant or overconfident, she has many funny and emotional moments as well, her relationship with her coach is filled with admiration, trust, respect and love, she is also a great support to her friends and is only person to whom Hae Kang has shown his weak side. The evolution of her relationship with Hae Kang is really delightful to watch, they had interactions when then were kids, when they grew up, their relationship went from not liking eachother to acknowledgement of talent they have to a beautiful friendship to an awkward yet cute romance.

Overall this is a great drama which teaches you many valueable lessons about life. The acting here is really good, all the main character you will love, the rivals are also good people. The portrayal of parents here is as someone who wants nothing but good for their kids.

Gets boring as it proceeds.

This drama started as a good one. It had everything, start actors(PBG and PSD) good story(only for few episodes) good music and direction was okay. But all these things got bad after episode 7-8. There was no development between the two leads, the whole drama was mostly focused of ML while the FL seems to play a supporting characters instead of main. The bad guys were just bad and the good guys turned bad were going no where. The families will get on your nerves.
This drama is a big disappointment and huge waste of talent. The writer did a really terrible job. It's not the actors fault they are just doing whatever the script has.
If you ask me that if I should recommend this drama, I will say hell no. Don't waste your time on this you will be disappointed.

One Lead Focused Drama

Story: The story is good. It kept progressing with each episodes. If you have first few episodes then you will know that this drama is focused of ML. The story is not that unique but the execution is done really well. The main focus of this drama is thrill and mystery and romance is really not there.

Characters: DWJ- The Main Lead of this drama. He is cunning, smart, intelligent person who doesn't ehow his emotion. The whole drama revolves around him.

Jamie- She is an intelligent officer from America. For first half of the drama she did useful things then after that she just roam around all the time.

GW- A good police officer who want to do righy things and also has a crush on thr ML.

Acting: NGM is an exellent actor. He did an amazing job as for Seolhyun she was not that bad but there could have been a better choice for that role. As for the actor who plays Jamie, she is awesome. Loved her dynamic with NGM. Whenever these thw are together it was always fun to watch. The supporting actors also did an amazing job.

Overall: This was a good drama. As for a thrill - mystery this was pretty good. It has some flaws but you can just ignore them and enjoy. Every episode will make you feel like what is going to happen next. The ending was one of thr most satisfying happy ending whete the lead doesn't die. This is a one time watch drama. You will definitely enjoy of you like mystery and thrill.

A light hearted Romantic Comedy

Why I liked this drama?
As I mentioned in the headline it is a light hearted Romantic Comedy. The chemistry between the leads is really good. The moments they spend together will make you feel happy. Nana did a really great job by acting as a person who refuse to give and thinks what is right for the people. Our ML plays a role of a supporting friend/collogue/boyfriend who believes in FL and motivates her. The start was slow but it got better during episode 6-12.

Why I disliked this drama?
Can't really say disliked but not got satisfied with it. First the starting few episodes were slow then it got better so you need to have patience to get to the good part for 4-5 episodes.
Second, the role of ML was not that focused, the writer and director could have used the actor's potential a lot better.
Third, as this is a romcom and a political drama the romcom part is good till episode 10-11 then this drama mainly focuses on the political part, we get some cute moments between the leads but they are not that much if we compare this with other romcom.
Fourth, the ending, we didn't get to see how much our leads have progressed in their relationship, the second half of the last episode was mainly focused on the side characters, which didn't have that much story to tell, they could have focused on the ML or the relationship between the leads.

Overall this was a good but not great drama, if you like light hearted romcom then you must watch this. Both our leads have done a great job especially Nana, you will love her here after some episodes. If this drama had focused on romcom more in the last 3-4 episodes, I would have given it a 10 but now my rating is 9.7.

Overhyped, Below Expectation Drama

First of all the most positive things I can say about this drama is the acting of Kim Bum and Lee Dong Wool.
Now lets start the review:
The first 4 episodes are the best. You will love them, they will keep your curiosity and you will like be the characters (not all maybe). But after these, episode 5-6 are the most boring and really bad episodes, they are like filler to this drama. After these the ride for the enjoyment is up and down. Some episodes are good and some are bad.

The romance between the leads is best in the starting episodes then it becomes cringe. You will see yourself fast forwarding their scenes together. They have chemistry sometimes and sometimes there is none.

As for acting,
Lee Ding Wook is did a good job not great. This role suits him. He is cunning and humourous.
Bo Ah, Not a fan of her acting and never was. Her she did a good job in few episodes. But her acting is cringe sometimes. She is not suitable for the romance here or maybe the writing is poor.
Kim Bum, Never saw him before, this is my first drama of his. He is the shining star here. You are gonna love his acting.
Side Characters also did a very well job.

Overall it is not a bad drama. The writing could've been a lot better.

Average story saved by Actors and Direction but destroyed by chopping off episodes.

Story: Story revolves around the JH(ML), a lawyer who charges only 1000 Won from his clients who are mostly those who can't afford a lawyer. It's his story about why he do what he is been doing and solving cases.

Characters: JH(ML): We see him as a really funny and non serious guy who is very intelligent and uses unorthodox ways to solve cases. But he has a really serious and sad side too which we see in the flashback.
MR(FL): She is forced to work for the ML by her grandfather, she is the sane one from the office trio. She is also funny and gets annoyed with the ML much often.
MJ: He works with the ML and behave very much similar to the ML often. He is very loyal and always looks out for the ML.

Acting: NGM: As always be is amazing, his comedy, expressions and breaking the forth wall is really funny. He is extremely good with the serious or sad scenes too. He has an amazing chemistry with KJE and his love interest from past. But sometimes his comedy felt a little over the top, a little bit of over acting when he does comedy.
KJE: She is really awesome, most of the time she has to get annoyed because of the ML and she does it so funnily. She has amazing back and forth with NMG. She doesn't have any serious scenes but she is really good at doing comedy.

Likes: 1) Amazing chemistry between the two leads. Their back and forth is so funny and interesting to watch.
2)There are few really good cases that were solved.
3)The comedy and friendship between the Trio, that is JH, MR and MJ.
4)Backstory, it is nothing new but really interesting to watch because of the acting and the new characters introduced.
5) Really loved the OST here.
6) Amazing switching of emotions by NGM, at one time he is very sad and serious and just is a blink he is behaving different.
7) Beautiful chemistry between NGM and Lee Chung Ah(his fiance in drama).
There are many other stuff to like also.

Dislike:1)Episodes were cut from 16 to 14 and then again to 12. So they story was not executed properly.
2) Villian not properly developed and lack in his character.
3)The FL is very much underused here, she is really talented actor but here she is a main supporting character.
4)Some comedy scenes felt very over the top.
5) Extremely low focus on characters other than the ML.
6)There are only 12 episodes yet you will find one or two filler episodes.

Overall: It's definitely an above average drama but it could have been a lot better if there were few more episodes. The story felt incomplete and the characters other than the trio were put in without much of thinking. If you want to watch a drama which has comedy, some crime solving and couple of serious episodes then you will like this.

Note: The last episode that is episode 12 was a really well done and executed really good. Due to less episode the drama felt rushed.

Rating as critique: 8.5
Rating as casual viewer:9

Also, the drama was cut short because of some issue between the production company and the writer.

Good story with great animation

Story: It is about the YQ and his journey to reach top again from scratch with his friends and teammates. There are episodes dedicated to give a good story and background to other characters as well. It is story of hardship, friendship, hope and glory.

Characters: YQ: He is a very lovable funny guy, knows when and what to say, motivates others and importantly never gives up. He is a confident person who is very intelligent and knows his opponents.
SMC: She is very similar to the ML, funny, smart, attentive, doesn't gives up and really cares for the ML. She is also really good in the game and also have a good supporting skills.
CG: She is funny and clumsy. She has given motivation to many of the characters in the series, she is childish but also knows when to tough up.
TR: She is a tough person who doesn't like to lose. She always wants to improve herself and is very determined. Even though she is tough, she also is a caring and joyful person. She becomes close with her fellow teammate/friends and also becomes a team player.
BRX: Funny loving guy who likes to joke. Is a good person, sometimes overconfident but learns from his mistakes.
QYF: A timid and shy person for most of the series, he listens to others and not to himself, had a little problem with self confidence but overcomes it whenever he faces any obstacles.

Acting: Really good acting from all especially from YY , LYM and Daisy. The supporting actors also did a great job. Only problem was with JSY, felt like sometimes she was overdoing it.

Likes: It had great animation, really good voice interaction in the game, great and well built friendship, good mentorship, pace of story was really good. Relations and chemistry between the characters were awesome. Best part was the friendship between YQ and SMC, they are bestfriends and sometimes felt like they may like eachother romantically even though there is zero romance in it.

Dislikes: Episode 17-22 are kind of boring, pace is slow and some unnecessary stuffs. CG character could have been a little better. Could have added a very slight romance (optional).

Overall: It's a great drama with good acting and great animation. It has a really good friendship and mentorship elements. You will laugh as well as feel sad while watching this but at the end you will be satisfied.

A beautiful drama about friendship and school life.

Story: Story is really simple and is same as most of the school dramas. The leads are in same school, they become bench partners, they start helping eachother, a friendship is built between them, the friendship later turns into romantic feeling.

Character: FL: She is really funny, cute, always ready to help others, cares deeply about people around her. Is has a very strong bond with the ML
ML: As FL, he is also really funny, especially when he makes fun of her, is a really good friend specially to the FL, is a good son to his father and cares for people around him
SML: He is a really good guy but is very dense and sometimes he becomes frustrating.
SFL:She is really beautiful and simple girl, she doesn't turn into a bad person or anything when the guy she likes starts liking the FL. She becomes good friends with both the leads and they help her a lot.
Best friends of FL: These two are hilarious when they are with the FL, they also have funny moments with the ML too. They are good friends and have eachother's back.
FL's Parents: They are loving, supporting and really funny parents. They have a good relationship with the FL and they also treat other people kindly.
ML's father: He is a good guy doing everything to make his son happy, he is a great father and don't want to burden the ML. He has a lot of funny and emotional scenes with the ML.

Acting: FL actor: I have seen her in few other dramas and one of them was school drama. She has improved a lot, her her acting is really good, her timing for comedy and emotional scenes are really great.
ML actor: First time watching this guy and he just blew my mind, he acted really well as a 17yr old, had a great comedic timing, really good in doing emotional scenes and has a great chemistry with the FL.

Likes: There are so many things to like her. The best thing is the chemistry and the friendship between the two leads. They started as someone who don't like eachother to later becoming best friends. They were not bestfriends for name sake only but they were always there for eachother, always help eachother whatever the problem was. Other great thing was the friendship between their group, like there is a scene where they all hugged the ML or how they helped the FL or the SFL, how they gave eachother support and many such make you smile moments.

Dislikes: There are very few things that I disliked. The SML got too much of screentime in the middle and also with the FL for certain episode, his character was kind of boring. There are many scenes that are not shown in the episodes which is are actually important. The ending was kind of rushed, they just took one episode to complete it, it would have been better if they were few more episodes to know what happens next and what happened in the last four years.

Overall: This is a great drama, you will laugh, cry, smile, frustrate, get angry but in the end you will enjoy this.

Note: The lead couple are really funny and cute together.

A beautiful story of beautiful and hardworking people

Honestly my expectations were really low from this drama but it turned out to be a really good one.

Story: Story is simple, nothing new. The teams promote and solve the problems of their actors. First half of the drama revolves around the managers and the main leads, second half involves the past of ML and the all the problems thrown at him. Last two episodes are really beautiful with all the good people getting rewarded for their hardwork.

Acting:
LSK: Is really knows her character well, she performed all her scenes greatly. Her chemistry with the ML is fantastic.
KYD: Played his role amazingly. He knows how to act as a star and be an immature behind the set. His emotional scenes were great to watch, he can get all your attention towards him.
Others: I m not seperately mentioning all the actors as there are too many. Actors playing the manager roles were really great, they had a really good dynamics with their actors playing actors. Other than these there were the side stories of others, who have to act as rookie, spoiled, confused, joyfull etc, which they did amazingly.

Characters:
FL: She is an amazing character who is kind of "hate" the ML but also cares about him dearly. She is a very intelligent person who gets the job done and know how to do it efficiently. She also supports her boyfriend and is there for him whenever he needs her even before they get together. Her dynamics with other people is hilarious and touching.
ML: A top star who is kind of childish yet a loving and caring person. Is has always cared for the FL and did things for her even without her knowing. Is gets jealous easily, wants the FL attention and does funny stuffs. He becomes a good boyfriend and a good friend/coworker to the people her works with.
Lawyer guy: Thought is would be a strict and annoying guy but her is actually really funny and good. His back and forth with the ML is fun to watch. He also has a good chemistry with the reporter lady.
ML' manager(KYS):A really sweet guy who is loved by everyone, he is trusted by everyone and he is really smart too. He really cares for his people especially the ML.
Ho Young: Cute, sweet and hardworking, she doesn't give up easily, deeply care for her stars. Her and KYS have a good relationship.
Others from the agency and Han Dae Soo: These are all good people, they are no antagonists, they are supportive and funny.

Likes: Great chemistry, great friendships and good romances. The ML is surrounded by good people who deeply and actually cares about him. The side story of YuNa and Jae Hyun is fun to watch. Then we have an actress who is a huge fan of the ML and she is really a good person. There is no good guy turing bad scenario. Last two episodes that showed the three couples and the funny moments with them. Everybody gets what they deserves at the end.

Dislike: They spent too much time on the story of someone wanting to destroy the ML, it could have been solved really quick but they kind of stretched it. Also they threw one after another bad guys towards the ML after the second half. Could have done better with the main couple after they got together. The mother returns and the dead friend story was also took way too much time.

Overall: It is a good light hearted romcom, which not just focuses on the romance and the main leads but to other characters and their story too. It has many funny, romantic, emotional moments. Acting and characters dynamics is great too.

Not good Not bad, just in between

The unsatisfying-bad ending and the drama going downhill in the second half aside. The chemistry between all four leads was really good. The bromance and the sisterhood was also good to watch. I really liked the ML but wish he had some development in his character, he was the same from start to end. As for FL there were many times I didn't liked her but there were times I absolutely loved her. Wish her character was consistent instead of change back and forth every 5 episodes. Overall it is an okay drama. Not good or not really bad. Acting was good. Story could have been better. Although it is a slow romance, it could have been executed more properly. The FL is really beautiful and simple in her looks. Hope to see her in a much better drama with much better character. I guess this deserves 7.6-7.9 on MDL

Amazing drama with stellar performance let down by ending

Story: Story of a guy who works for a company is betrayed by his employer who then wakes up in the body of the youngest grandson of that's company's founder. There he starts his plan of revenge which is to take control of that company.

Acting: LSM: What an amazing actor is he. He was so perfect for the chairman's role, every scenes of his was a standout. He played a tough, distrust, cunning and a vulnerable guy so well.
SJK: Loved his acting so much, I think he definitely went beyond his peak acting for this. Such a good actor that he has good chemistry with a newbie actor(Tiffany).
SHB: Honestly I didn't enjoyed her acting at all, she was good for some time but most of her acting felt plain. I think the role was not suitable for her.
Other actors: All the other actors did an amazing acting, they were so good in displaying every emotion they were being told to show. Their cunning smile, villianious laugh, desperate cry, distraught everything they showed were perfect and on point.

Characters: JDJ/HW: He is smart and cunning as he knows the future but also knows what to do with that information, he is good at manipulation and would take a bait if it means it would destroy his enemy. His relationship with grandfather goes from him not getting acknowledge as a part of family by the grand father to him being his favourite grandson whom he can relate to most.
JYC: Founder and head of the family who loves his company and goes on saying that his company is his favourite child. Always being assertive and doesn't back down from his problem. Even without the future knowledge he is a very tough and unpredictable person.
JSJ: Eldest grandson who always put up a fake mask of smile, righteous and cool guy infront of other but he would do anything to make the company his.
HM: Wife of JSJ who is loyal to her husband only if he can secure the chairman position for him and would pass down to their so. She is extremely cunning and well connected who has given a good competition to DJ.
LPO: The grandmother who everyone thinks is a nice person is actually a women who would go to extreme length to make sure her real son/grandson succeed the company.
JHY: Only daughter of the chairman.Not so smart and gets greedy easily to the point that she ignores that she is harming herself.
JYK: Eldest son of the chairman who is a pushover and always desperate to show his father that he is a capable person.
JDK: Middle son and only among the three siblings who has some knowledge of business though he gets tricked. He is also desperate to get acknowledgement from his father as he thinks he is more deserving than his older brother.
CCJ: From prosecutor who was under the shadow of his wife(JHY) and her family to a law minister. He is not capable of making his own decisions, he does what has been told by whoever that will benefit him.
OSY: An investor and a loyal partner and a friend.
SMY: She is prosecutor who gets in relationship with JDJ and is also one who goes against his rich family. She doesn't gives up and is smart to know what actually is happening.

Likes: There are so many things to like, some are listed below:
• Amazing acting by the cast especially LSM and SJK
• The grand father-grand son duo was so amazing to watch.
• "Good guys" didn't always win, they faced some loss too which only made the story more interesting.
• How JDJ manipulative his whole family and plays them against eachother.
• Even though it was for one episode the child actor playing JDJ did an amazing job.
• Antagonists are cunning but also show some stupidity in the moment of heat.
• JDJ's relationship with his mother, father and brother is very wholesome, they are the few of the good guys by his side. A supporting and caring mother, a father who is willing to become a bad guy to help his son and a funny brother who is the heart of their small family.
• How the bad guys are taken down in every couple of episodes is very satisfying to watch.
• Music and OST is so beautiful, energetic and thrilling too
There are other things too that I have not mentioned.

Dislikes:•The ending episode, if felt a totally different episode from rest of others which is written by someone else.
• Ending doesn't make that much of a sense, is very unsatisfying and maked the episodes 2 to 15 unnecessary.
• FL and the actor: The character is very under utilised even for a one character centric drama. Also the acting felt off and not that good compared to other actors.
• Romance: As the FL and ML had little screentime together their romance felt off or maybe unnecessary.
• Role of the granddaughter is very minimal, as she is actually a smart person she could have been a good match against or even in favour of JDJ.

Overall: It's an amazing drama with high class acting and good twists and turns in the story which keeps the viewer engaged but the ending and the whole last episode could be huge let down.

Ratings: As a critic: 9(10-1 because of last episode).
As a casual viewer: 10.

PS: PJH and JHY(actor playing granddaughter) look really beautiful and hot and they are really talented too. Hope to see them in a first lead role.

A cute silly drama but not for all

The starting of the drama is great. I mean it has the right amount of all the emotions. You will enjoy the comedy and heartfelt moments in the start. Then after 5th episode it becomes really silly. The story goes well but there are many unnecessary complications or delays in it.
The male lead actor did a very good job. You will love him. He is very young(22yr) but his acting skills are really good.
As for the main actress, Go ara, I never was a fan of her. Never liked her acting. Here the role suits her because the character she plays is a silly one. But I still think her acting is not that good.

The Ending was really bad and not at all satisfying. The problem with the age gap here was that the ML was a minor so it felt weird to me to watch them have romance together.

Overall this was a cute silly drama and you may like it if you don't mind all the things I wrote above.
