"Snowfall" tells the story of a blind girl named Mi Lan, who is abused by her mother and lives her life basically trapped all the time. She then saves Zhi Heng, making him indebted to her.

The relationship of Mi Lan and Zhi Heng is very intriguing, because we can't quite classify what they are to each other. It's beyond a romance, Zhi Heng gave Mi Lan a second chance to live, he saved from an abusive mother and from the darkness, gave her a purpose, a family... and that's so much more than the love between man and woman.
That was one of the reasons the drama really stuck with me, the development was really beautiful.

The drama is way better than I expected. The chemistry between Gao Wei Guang and Ouyang Nana is amazing.
There was several fun moments and I liked how the vampire creature was portrayed, it reminded of the movie "Interview With A Vampire", specially about the beauty, the seduction, the mystery around the vampire. I just didn't like the ending, I was hoping for a happy ending, they deserved that, but overall, I was a great drama.

"Red Swan" is definitely one of my biggest disappointments, I was hopping for an amazing production with Rain and Kang Ha Neul, but it simply didn't work out, even when it had everything to be great.

The premise is good, there are a lot of dramas with the same style like "The K2", that follows the relationship of a woman and her bodyguard and how they fell in love, but the story lacks depth, the characters and the romance is really weak, the dialogues are horrible. I even laughed on episode 7 when Do Yoon asks Wan Soo to trust him... the way he say that, it was so bad, I couldn't keep a straight face. HAHAHAHA'

Their relationship is weird, there wasn't a moment when you see them falling in love, at a moment, with no explanation, Do Yoon and Wan Soo were madly in love and they not really know each other. That didn't make sense to me.

This was a drama that only made noise, but in reality it didn't have anything to show.

"The Frog" it's a drama that follows two different timelines, which sometimes got a little confusing, but when you understands the development, it's really impressive.
Yeong Ha runs a guest house and Seong Ah comes one day to stay with her "son". The twist in here it's that Yeong Ha understands that Seong Ah killed the boy in the house, but doesn't say anything because he's afraid of the rumors and not being to rent the house again.
This is connected with Sang Jun's story. He had a motel and a serial killer killed someone in there and it became famous, but not in a good way, changing Sang Jun's life forever.

The story is intriguing, smart and the development is amazing, you stay stuck from the beginning to the end. The acting is spectacular, specially Kim Yoon Seok and Go Min Si <3
Chan Yeol really surprised me as an actor, I have seen him in "Missing 9", but I couldn't really see him as an actor, only as an idol, but after this role, it's impossible not to.

Seong Ah is awesome, I still can't forget her crazy eyes and even that I know that she's a psychopath, my dark side just fell in love with her. HAHAHA'
She's a very interesting character, the way that she doesn't feel guilty for what she's done. It was very unfortunate for Yeong Ha to have her in his guest house.

The drama's ending is very satisfying, because the bad guys got they deserved and the people involved finally had peace.

"Why Her" follows Soo Jae, a ruthless and competent lawyer who doesn't care about anything except winning and destroys everyone that gets in her way. She did all that to survive in a men's world that don't accept her, that didn't think she was good enough and even so, Soo Jae is betrayed by her mentor and got demoted to being a teacher in a college.
There, she meets Gong Chan, a young man who tries to help in any way possible, what she doesn't know it's that they are connected by the past, when Soo Jae was Gong Chan's lawyer when he was framed for killing his sister. He hides that fact, to keep staying by her side.

The drama's premise reminded me of "I Hear Your Voice", specially because of the relation of the main characters and how they're connected with a death. Actually there's a scene that to me it's almost the same: when Gong Chan say that he's waiting to find someone and that person is Soo Jae.
The problem is that Hwang In Youp just didn't work as a main lead. Maybe it was because of his inexperience, but he couldn't get in the same level as Seo Hyun Jin and this weakened the story and also there was no chemistry at all between them.

One good thing about the drama is Seo Hyun Jin's character Soo Jae, she's a badass woman and if the writers had chosen a better actor to be her pair, the drama would definitely be different.

"Rebirth For You" it's a story about a princess called Bao Ning, she doesn't like to be trapped in the palace and even more to be engaged to the king, she always tries to escape and to the things she likes. On one of this adventures, she meets Li Qian, he's a palace guard and with time, it's clear that they have feelings for each other and they get married.
The married life isn't so easy and they have to pass a lot of obstacles to just be happy.

I really thought Bao Ning was going to be a different character, the beginning made me think she was a creative woman, someone who didn't follow the rules like Shao Shang in "Love Like The Galaxy", but it wasn't like that. The whole thing with her father and Li Qian's mother, the conflict didn't last long, it was resolved quite quickly.

The drama was disappointing, I though the story was gonna be good, but there's nothing interesting. The main lead couple is cute, but not enough to catch the attention, their relationship was shallow.
It's a drama that's good on paper, but in reality, it's a story like any other, with nothing new to show.

"Tyrant" it's about people fighting because of a virus, everyone wants it and kills to get it. There's also Ja Gyeong, a gangster's daughter who got caught in between that.

I really don't like this format for dramas, 8 episodes were already too little, but now we have only 4? It's getting worse.
You can see the similarities with the movie "The Witch", but how there were only 4 episodes, the drama ends so fast, it barely gives you any time to process what happened.
The fight sequence on the last episode was really impressive, I couldn't take my eyes of the screen.

The cast is spectacular, to be able to see Cha Seung Won, Kim Kang Woo and Kim Seon Ho acting together, that was incredible <3

"You Drive Me Crazy" is a drama about two best friends, that on a drunken mistake slept together and have to face the consequences, how that is going to affect their relationship.

I know is a mini drama, but everything was rushed, the story development is flaw.
Also the poster is a little misleading, since the other characters barely appear on screen and didn't cause any affect on the main "couple".
In conclusion, it's a drama you watch and forgets almost immediately.

"Snow White's Revenge" it's a revenge story about Seol Ah, a woman who lost her father at a young age, when he married a woman named Jeong In, a gold digger who married him to take his money. When he learns the truth, Jeong In along with her boyfriend Tae Chang kill Seol Ah's father and the girl witness everything.
Seol Ah goes to live in an orphanage and there she meets Jin Ho, starting a relationship that will last over 10 years, until he gets in an accident and loses his memory. She is reunited with Jin Ho, when she becomes a writer for a drama named "Poker Face" and he's the main lead, the problem is Jin Ho doesn't remember her, so Seol Ah tries to make him remember her.

By spending time with Jin Ho, who's now being called Woo Jin, Seol Ah learns that he's not a very good person. Even when his memory returns, Woo Jin doesn't want to go back to the time he was Jin Ho, he doesn't want to lose his fame, become a nobody again... There's even a moment in episode 31 when Woo Jin uses Seol Ah's feelings, being all sweet with her, only because he wanted her to delete a post she made on the internet, telling people about their past, how they lived together and even were expecting a child. When she doesn't want to do that, Woo Jin becomes violent and even slaps her. After that, he even made a statement to the media making himself the victim.

This is exactly why I don't understand the drama's ending. How does it make sense that Seol Ah and Woo Jin ended up together? This is ridiculous. He was a horrible person that abandoned her, hurt her in many ways, only because he was shot, everything is alright? How can a woman do this to herself, after everything he did to her? Doesn't she have any dignity? Seeing them happily in that orphanage, it was just weird. What about Hyun Woo? Seol Ah accepted his feelings and left him for Woo Jin? I don't think this drama leaves a very good message to viewers, specially about a healthy relationship.

Ju Ryun is a ridiculous character. She's not the villain, she keeps crying all the time and fighting with Seol Ah because of Woo Jin. It's sad to see such a beautiful woman low herself to that level because of a man and I even couldn't even hate her, because to me she was only pitiful.

What the hell was the whole thing with Jeong In being Woo Jin's mother? The weird thing is the way she starts to treat him when she learns the truth. It was really creep, specially because she doesn't say that she's his mother. I have to say that in some moments I thought Jeong In was really in love with him and not like a mother.

And what was Seol Ah's revenge? What exactly did she do to avenge her father's death? She only complained, but still kept was working for Jeong In's company, doing nothing legally to show the truth out, so it was basically nothing for 102 episodes. How are we supposed to like this? The only person who actually did a revenge in this story was Sun Ae, she was an amazing woman who avenged the death of her two sons and helped Seol Ah in the process. Without Sun Ae, Seol Ah wouldn't have done anything.

The drama is really bad, there's nothing good about it. The acting is weak, the characters are terribly written, the story is confusing and there's no clear direction in the story's development. It's not something I would recommend to someone to watch, it's not worth it.

"My Sweet Mobster" follows Eun Ha, a kids content creator who unexpectedly runs into Ji Hwan, a former gangster who's now living a new life. The two become entangled with each other and eventually Eun Ha comes to live with Ji Hwan, because she lost her house. With time, they become closer and fall in love.

My biggest problem was with the character Eun Ha, I know that because of her work she has to act cute and stuff, but that doesn't mean that she has to act like that ALL the time... eventually her "way" was really anoying me.
And also, for me there was no chemistry between the two main leads characters, the funny scenes were so much better than the romantic ones.

It's a sweet, light and easy to watch drama. I should have been expecting that for the poster and synopsis, but I didn't think it would be so childish, that wasn't what I was expecting of a drama with a "mobster".

"We All Lie" is a revenge story. Su Li is the main character, a famous writer that basically has the perfect life, but everything changes when she discover that her husband is cheating with her friend. Her rage can't be controlled, so Su Li makes a revenge plan, to make the people who hurt her suffer the same way.

Su Li's plan seemed fun, but since the moment she gets Shu Heng arrested, the drama quality drops completely. Wei De's character is unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the story, it was kind of ridiculous to put a love interest for her so suddenly, when she just lost her baby and with her ex-husband in jail, even that Wei De was planned by Ying Ying.

Subjects don't last one episode, Shu Heng found out too soon about Su Li's revenge plan, I wanted to see her fooling him for much longer, that took the fun out of it.
No comments to the scene that Ying Ying's plan was discover by everyone and she lost her mind and try to stab Su Li with a scissors! HAHAHAHA'

I always loved a good revenge story, but the drama development is flaw, is too rushed, they couldn't really appreciate the story line. The revenge is over so fast, we barely have time to enjoy it.
In conclusion, "We All Lie" was a drama that had some good moments, but lost the change to be better.

"Connect" it's a drama is about a world where there is people with strange abilities, they are called "Connect", their body doesn't die, no matter how it's hurt.
The main character is Dong Soo, a lonely man who lives hidden because there's no one who would understand and accept him. One day he's kidnapped and lost one of his eyes, after that he keeps getting visions of someone else and that person is a serial killer.
The story follows his quest to stop that person and get his eye back. In the meanwhile, Dong Soo encounters I Rang, a woman who's just like him.

This drama was a huge surprise, I wasn't expecting it to like so much. It's one of the best productions I have ever seen and it has the face of Takashi Miike writing on it: bloody, bizarre and freaking creative. The only flaw is the open ending, since most likely there will not be a second season.

"Hide" is a suspense/thriller based on a tv show called "Keeping Faith". I didn't watch the original tv show, but I can say for sure that this version just didn't work.
It tells the story of Moon Young, a successful lawyer, who's married and with a child, life couldn't be more perfect but out of the blue, her husband Sung Jae goes missing and after that, the police finds his body in a burning car, with a suicide letter. Moon Young doesn't believe that and starts to investigate what her husband was doing the days before his death and what she finds, makes her overthink everything in her life.
Sung Jae was lying to Moon Young all the time, doing illegal things and even cheating on her with Yeon Joo, their neighbor and their daughter's teacher. We discover that Moon Young's father stole the identity of Yeon Joo's father, living his life and Yeon Joo did everything for revenge.

I love Lee Bo Young, she's an spectacular actress, but it feels like the drama didn't want her, almost like she was forced to be there. Her clothes were ridiculous, too big and didn't fit her right and the character development was laze. Basically all the characters are shallow, none of them really stand out, neither did the story.
One really big flaw of the story is not show the change in Seong Jae, from a good family man, to a person like that, who would do anything for money.

"Ashes of Love" tells the story of a girl named Jin Mi who's born without the ability to love, because of that she's always naive, happy and free, but everything changes when Xu Feng falls in the Floral Realm and meets her unexpectedly.
Jin Mi and Xu Feng become closer and eventually are involved romantically, still Jin Mi doesn't understand what's love. There's also Run Yu, Xu Feng's half brother who falls in love with Jin Mi at first sight.
The three characters are connected with each other and when Jin Mi finds her real father, she discover that she's the lost fiancee of Run Yu. That causes the conflict that changes their lives forever.

I liked Xu Feng, but to be honest, Run Yu is a better character, his life story, his traumas, all that makes him more appealing to audience, when Xu Feng was always the favorite son and treated with more care, but Run Yu's jealousy was his doom, when he basically forced Jin Mi to kill Xu Feng with her own hands, making her think that Xu Feng was her father's killer. In that moment, Jin Mi broke her Yun Elixir, realizing what's love and what's she done.
Jin Mi's sacrifice at the end was to make amends, since basically everything was her fault, the brothers fighting because of her and destroying all that's in the way... I really loved Jin Mi's phrase when she's dying: "If your heart is filled with love, why would you be afraid of sadness and fear?"
Of course there's a happy ending for Jin Mi and Xu Feng, it would be too sad if that didn't happen.

The drama is truly amazing, the story, the characters, the development, the actors, it's one of the best wuxia cdramas that I have ever seen. It's really worth the watch <3

"Becoming Witch" is a dark comedy drama and honestly, an amazing surprise. When woman get married, they don't enter in a fairy tale but rather in a horror movie, instead of becoming Cinderella they become witches! HAHAHA'

The story follows three women: Ma Ri, Hee Soo and Jin Ah, they are in their 40's and none of them is happy being married. Ma Ri has a cheating husband, Hee's Soo husband is always away and she has to take care of her sick mother-in-law and Jin Ah is a widow, who gained a lot of money from her husband's death. She's the only one who's remotely happy, but that won't last long, since her husband comes back... alive.

Ma Ri is a total badass. I think she's one of the best characters I ever saw in a drama, there's no other woman like her. Her crazy eyes telling the whole world she won't divorce Nak Gu or when she dreamed about killing him. There's also the car accident and the whole "Misery" act in the hospital. But the interesting thing is that despise everything that Nak Gu did to her, Ma Ri still loved him, because he's the father of her child. The scene when she finally confess that, Nak Gu is holding a gun and he shots her, the gun didn't have bullets but, that moment is really the end, he killed every last inch of love that she had in that second.
The ending is very satisfying, Nak Gu is a freaking bastard, so he really deserved all that... karma is really a bitch.

Hee Soo's ending was the only sad thing about this drama. She is a beautiful woman, who wanted to have a child her whole life, but instead she got cancer. The good thing is that she finally had some good times with her husband and enjoyed her last moments on earth, leaving behind the memories with her friends, that won't ever forget her.

This is really an underrated drama, I don't know how people aren't talking about it, it's an amazing story. Lee Yoo Ri's acting is simply spectacular <3

"Catch The Ghost" follows Yoo Ryung, a young cop that starts working in the Subway Police with the purpose of finding her twin sister that disappeared and it is most likely a victim of the subway killer, a serial killer that targets people on the subway and leaves their bodies inside the train.

The chemistry between Yoo Ryung and Ji Seok is really good, but the drama doesn't give the couple a chance to be together, literally that happens only at the ending and for me, that wasn't enough. They do have some sweet moments.

Yoo Ryung's journey to find her sister is the main focus of the drama, along with her solving the cases with a lot of enthusiasm, she's a lively character and always gives great scenes, with her crazy ways to stop the criminals, dragging poor Ji Seok along. I think the drama should have put more effort into showing the relationship of Yoo Ryung and Yoo Jin, we only see little flashes of their lifes together and to understand Yoo Ryung's pain and how could she do that mistake, of leaving her autistic sister behind, it should have more background on the story about them.

The funny moments it's what makes this drama worthwhile, also the friendship between the Subway Police. The romance stays in second place, but still a really good drama.
