I Wanna Hear Your Song

I regret complaining about predictable dramas, this was so frustrating when I cared about the outcome but I stopped caring about halfway through and lost all interest, I completed watching it for closure.
Basically imagine being a blind person that follows sounds, and the writer keeps tossing pebbles around you, they toss one, you take one step there, and they toss one on the other direction, and it's not only 2 directions, but like 3 or 4.
Instead of just making it mysterious, they forcefully led you to the wrong direction over and over until the last 2 episodes where the ending is finally starting to clear.
It was so frustrating that some characters KNEW what happened wouldn't just fess-up when they aren't even awfully evil, they just DON'T want to talk, or empathize with the main leads.
The result of all of this is a rushed ending where suddenly all the evidences appear, and witnesses talk, to close the drama.
Cast:
They were okay, like other comments and reviews said, the chemistry and romance between the leads was awkward, also at this point, I think Eun Joo's teeth were glued together, unfortunate since I was looking forward to her performance.
Music: It's alright if you're into classicals, but if you're not I don't think you should watch this drama at all, since this is the best part of it compared to the rest.
Rewatch Value: Honestly, once you know the ending there is really nothing remaining in rewatching it unless you want to laugh at the pebbles the writer kept throwing left and right.

I loved the confrontation on episode 4 the most, it made me realize how attached I got to characters in about 30 minutes.
The rest of the story can be predicted from seeing other ghost dramas but I hope they'd continue telling their own version, just because the acting, music, and cinematography were enjoyable.
I hope to see Kim Bo Ra in more shows in the future, I've seen her in a few but recently she's done amazing work on both Her Private Life and this show, I look forward to more of them. :)

There are things that I dislike in the story personally, but I'll write this as objectively as possible.
Story 5/10
-This is a story about Hari and her two friends, with an addition of 2 guys that like her. But both of them are keeping secrets and neither of them wants to reveal anything to Hari. It can be a bit annoying, "I don't want to say why but you should be careful of that guy".
-Because it's a short story everything felt rushed specially the romance, which made it seem forced.
-There are a few confusions and plot holes left unanswered but the clean slate ending can be used to answer everything halfheartedly.
Acting/Cast 7/10
+Acting was surprisingly decent, more than what I'd expected of a short unpopular show.
-Although... some fighting scenes looked like straight out of a high school cinematography project.
Music 7/10
All the background music fit their places, the ending music made everything look good but it's too short lived.. Nothing else stood out of the ordinary.
Rewatch Value 3/10
Once you know the ending and the secrets they kept it'll be really hard to get back into rewatching it.
Overall 6.5/10
Watch it if you have some time to spare, the accessibility is nice because it's on YouTube. Don't get your expectations too high and it's all good.

The Witch Is Alive

Unique dark humor.
This is really underrated and under appreciated, a few terrible comments and reviews almost stopped me from watching it..This is a unique show, no matter what you everyone thinks this is something you'll only experience once in your kdrama life. People watch and accept regurgitated kdramas with all the same cliches and troupes, but criticize something unique so harshly.
The cast was superb, especially Lee Yoo Ri, and Lee Min Young.
It starts off with dark comedy (imo one of the funniest I've seen) but gets more serious on later episodes, with the consequences from all the comedy riling up. And has a little sad touch in the end.
All these parts are well written, the story is not very realistic, but serves it's comedic purposes, the seriousness and the sad plot in the end is good enough to tear your heart apart. The ending closure was great and left NEARLY nothing to be desired. (There are some loose threads).

Cheese in the Trap

This drama really brings out the ugliest parts of human nature, which is dark, but okay and fun to watch for some people.
My issue is that nearly no one redeemed themselves till the end of the series. The male lead had nearly no character improvement at all and the female lead only accepted his flaws till the end.
ACTING: 9/10
Everyone played their roles well, minus point because Baek In Ha's character was so annoyingly bad I have no idea why she existed in the story. Her only role was to be a hazard to the main couple all the way to the last minute of the final episode. The way she spoke was very bizarre and loud.
MUSIC: 8/10
Nothing noteworthy but my rating is biased because I love piano music.
Rewatch value: 4/10
Probably not gonna rewatch this at all because of the nonredeemable characters that never get punished properly but just vanish after they're exposed.

I watched this after expecting something as good as Goblin because of what some people implied, which is why it bothered me so much that I had to write a review.
This drama did such a fine job connecting all dots to make sense, I loved it. It really made everything realistic and sensible. Each of the characters had a role to play that we slowly learned episode by episode, until the last 15minutes of the final episode. Suddenly, everyone had to make their own speculations on what happened. It still is so confusing even after reading what others THINK happened, because the drama did not clarify at all.
Really put me off and I was going to give it a very harsh rating, but then I remembered the acting and the music were so well done it was unfair.
So here we go, this is my critical review, 7.5.
P.S: I'm not a fan of typing a 3 pages essay to review anything.

I really dislike the victim card Hana kept playing when her relationship is built on lies and trickery. I feel like there was no depth or moral to the story, except maybe to not lie and make a perfectly healthy man sick?
I can't say too much because it'll be considered a spoiler but Hana's character would fit more as an antagonist in a love story.
Acting/Cast 8/10
The main cast acting was great, can't say the same about the side characters.
Music 6/10
Nothing notable here.
Rewatch Value 4/10
The story was such a disaster I don't think I'll be enjoying this again at all.
Overall 6/10
Maybe I was too hopeful going back to watch a 14 years old movie. But some people praised it and told me to check it.

The story was simple, and predictable, not necessarily in bad way, it was just clear who were the bad guys and we only watched them get punished.
Acting and Camera though? OOF. Supreb. I loved the expressions Na Na & Roo Mi made every time they clashed. whether in the past or the current timeline.
Music. As for the soundtracks, most notable was Sunmi's Gotta Go, but the music they used in the ambience was alright too.
P.S: I hope this is a great kickstart for Hani's acting career.

Story: 8/10
The story wasn't the highlight of this show. It was great but predictable. The reason I kept pushing this show back is because the synopsis implied it will be too serious. The reason I kept it in my To-Watch list is because of the comedy tag.
This is not a drama too deep into the corruption topic, it's just a few corrupted targets and they're dealt with in a lighthearted manner. Nothing too dark or serious just simple law and execution.
Acting: 10/10
First I'd like to say this felt like watching a group of women in their 20s, their reactions, characters, and everything was so cute for their age.
All the main characters were well-executed, I especially loved Kim Jung Hye. A 37 years old acted like a girl in her 20s sometimes when faced with things like ramyeon, instant coffee, and other low-class meals.
Hong Do Hee also had her cute moments near the end and was the bravest of them and quickly became the unni of the group.
Lee Mi Sook Self-deprecating character was a bit too harsh to watch but it also serves as progression when she finally decides to value herself and her daughter.
Music: 7/10
There was nothing noteworthy but all the music pieces fit the scenes just fine, nothing over-dramatic or underwhelming.
Rewatch value: 10/10
Definitely give this one a second watch at least, I noticed many things I accidentally missed because I was too absorbed into knowing what happens next.

It was interesting and refreshing to see the Judge's perspective in a court drama instead of the usual lawyer versus prosecutor setup, but I had my worries about the Romance tag there, which proved to be correct, this is very innocent and lacking in terms of romance so do not expect any skinship or kisses at all, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
The ending was a little rushed and disappointing though, a lot of things left unanswered regarding Oh Reum's "Oppa" and how she came to know him.
Acting/Cast: 8.5/10
Go Ah Ra was alright, despite what people say and I agree with most of it, I think the issue lies within the script and not the actress herself. Kim Myung Soo acted his part as the cold judge that slowly started to be more considerate of the defendants, it was nice but felt like the progress was too fast at times, and stalled, or even stepped back at times. Of course, nothing much to say about Sung Dong Il, his experience in acting really shows as he portrayed his emotions perfectly. Loving smile when presented with his daughters and wife, strict but caring with his co-workers, and angry with the people that abuse their power or forget their roles in the court.
Music: 9.0/10
Soundtrack was great and full of emotions, whenever something was going wrong I felt the instruments play on my heart's strings. :')
Rewatch Value: 6.0/10
I think the reason for the low score is mainly because of the ending. The drama wasted so much time on pointless scenes instead of clarifying each character's background properly. Especially so with Oh Reum and her chaebol "Oppa". I also wish they spent more time on side characters like the single mother or the one that had miscarriage, but seeing how they lacked the time to give closure on the main characters, I can't help but feel I was overestimating the show.
Overall: 8.0/10
I think it's quite enjoyable if you come with little expectations like I did. Do not expect much of the romance tag, and do not expect closure for every case.
Because this is a show about the characters gaining experience and making progress to be better judges, rather than a show about punishing bad people and putting them in jail. Some will be put in jail but the show will end with some lawsuit(s) halfway done.

Maybe it's because it was ending but they didn't have to drop the bomb on her at the company. Could've ended it on better terms. Now all we're left with are the main characters and no closure whatsoever towards the people that bullied her at the production company.
Surely, this show could've been better had it had more episodes but it doesn't. So I'll rate it for what it is.
Acting 8/10
Decent at best, awful at worst. The best actress in the entire thing is his baby sister and that says something.
Music 8/10
The actual music he composed was silly but the background songs they used at times were old big hits that brought nostalgic feelings into this rating.
Rewatch NO/10
Unless this gets a longer adaption and better cast it'll be a big no to rewatch.
P.S: there should be a cringe tag somewhere in there, my toes hurt LOL.

Changing the actress for Eun Jae aside, her character was drastically changed, as she seemed to be getting more confident and talk about what she dislikes in the first season, this season reset her back to her introverted state.
Although Kang Yi Na only appeared briefly throughout the season, it seems like she grew back her hair and hit on the first boy she met near the house.
I like the change in Jung Ye Eun although I miss her cheerful side.
Hopes up for a better and more consistent season 3, and hope the teaser they released in ep13 gets scrapped.

IU and Seo Joon bickering was the highlight of this movie.
Outstanding performance, I got so immersed I forgot they're actors and actresses.The messages are nice, the backstories are detailed well, the comedy is great, and the ending is realistic and fulfilling.
There are two issues though.
Firstly, the foreign teams didn't look like homeless people at all.
And secondly, everyone played way too aggressively without any fouls or penalties, I guess they're going for amateurish rules like children, but then their opponents look like professional players.. The scenes give conflicting feelings.
On one hand they push and shove like children, and on the other, the opponents look like pro league players.
I can't say that I was disappointed since I'm here for the main cast, and the main cast DELIVERED.
I'm just sad that the screenwriter decided to go with these kind of football scenes. The movie would've been better if they didn't show the worldcup matches at all, and just did a time skip with the results of the matches, and more time to tie the ends with each plot.
