Actually there is a short story behind my watching the stranger series. During the summer break, I forced my mother to watch a TV series and she chose the Stranger. I used to only watch romantic and comedy dramas at the time, so I definitely thought I wouldn't like Stranger, but because it was a Korean drama, I decided to watch it with my mom. We watched the first episode together and I just LOVE it. I continued 7-8 episodes with my mother, then I started to continue myself because she had a lot of work. And it became one of my favorite series.

Let me talk about the drama now. First of all I have to congratulate Jo Seungwoo for playing the hwang simok character which seems so difficult. You can see how much effort is put by watching behind the scenes. I also congratulate bae donna because it must be difficult to play with someone who shows no emotion. I really liked the chemistry of the two main leads, it was really good. Also, shin hye sun is another reason I love this drama because I think she is both a beautiful and a very talented actress. Before I forget, the chemistry of all the characters was very good, I can say that they have the best chemistry among the series I have watched. I think I need to talk about the story now, then let me start. The first episodes of Stranger were a bit boring unlike the other series (of course it was very exciting), but the following episodes were excellent. When I watched the connection between the two murders, I was really surprised because I definitely did not expect it. The good behaviour of the police and prosecutors also made me happy. If you are reading this review, you will understand how bad I wrote because I am not very good at telling the story. But I'm still writing my best.

The only thing I didn't like about Stranger is that some of the characters in the main role died, they really added a different atmosphere to the series. All in all, Stranger is really one of the best series, the actors fit, the story is very good. Certainly, I think everyone should watch it, you should not forget such a magnificent series.

after romantic cliches uncanny counter is a splash of water on my face on a hot day

it has been a real long time since I added a drama to my top 10 list. And uncanny counter succeeded on being my 2nd favorite drama all time. Actually I had little prejudice before starting to it cuz I have never seen old main leads and the trailer was not really attractive to me but I decided to give it a try since I'm on my 16 days school break.

The first episode was actually little boring to me cuz I don't usually watch things that has fight or whatever but somehow uncanny counter actually kept me in. I watched total of 3-4 episodes that day. The more I go on the more I liked it and adored it. After those romantic cliches uncanny counter was like a splash of water on my face on a hot day. The way their chemistry growed episode by episode was amazing. I really liked how mun risked his own life to protect his friends and family. Motak's story was really sad especially when he lost his girlfriend without even talking after his memory came back. But if you ask whether I don't have any disappointments, there is. It's about hana's story. I actually thought that they would give a bigger story on her past life. Maybe I didn't get her story or it was less.

As I said above I was sick of romance dramas but here mun's and hana's chemistry was out of this world but without any of love lines. This is what I want from other dramas so that we can feel their sincerity ? and their true feelings.

Lastly for the music, it was not that bad, close your eyes and meet again really got me in. I especially listened meet again at least 30 times.

Overall this is a great drama which has the potential to make you both cry, laugh and surprise. 10/10 for me!
