" Love with flaws " was an enjoyable drama.

What didn't work for me was that, towards the ending, it felt like the action was happening behind the scenes and you get to only watch the results of it. And the last episode was not as good as the rest of them.

But, other than that, the comedy part was very good. The drama was funny, fresh and adorable overall. The leading lady was a delight, as always, and she adaoted to her role beautifully. The side characters and their stories were really entertaining and made the drama even more enjoyable, as the main story was low paced.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" What is love " or " Just only love " was okay, hence the five out of ten rating.

My main problem was with the ending of the story. It was not satisfying enough, as the main character didn't really change, she just continued being who she was at the begining of the movie. That is not to say that I wanted them to end up together, as it was obvious that he wasn't good for her and she was better off without him. The presentation of how her life went to ruin as she focused all her energy on him, was not well either. There were some scenes that you can really get that she was too eager to follow him and take care of him, while he was just taking advantage of that. But, other than that, we didn't get to see how she lost her job or how she was enstranged from her friends, as there was only one arguement with her friend, and that was not even about her being cold towards her.

The performances were good though, especially from the leading lady. The camera work was nice too.

So, five out of ten.

" Hanzawa Naoki Iya Kinen - Episodo Zero, Special " was interesting.

As a special just before the second season's premiere managed to present an intriguing story in just about over an hour. The mystery was good and well built, and they focused more on the business world, with some addition of the main character's background story.

The chemistry of the two main leads was good too and helped with the mystery. Finally, the performances were excellent and the usage of the computer thriller atmosphere was nicely created.

So, overall, seven out of ten for the good case it presented.

" Gift " was a nice, short movie.

The story was nice, with the perfect passing for its length. The characters are, overall, likable and the performances from all actors and actresses of the cast pretty good. I also enjoyed the twist in the end because it was unpredictable and quite entertaining. In addition, the plot is sweet, cute and touching. However, the story would have been better presented if the movie was longer. The characters should have breating space to bond and creat a stronger relationship in order for the story to lead to the final twist.

But, overall, it was good, so eight out of ten.

" Neko Cafe " had a nice idea but it was just not anything special.

Some of the stories were nice and mostly the whole movie had a sweet and warm feeling to it. The cats were cute and the acting was decent from all the actors and actresses in the movie. The theme was interesting as well.

However, the movie was a bit boring. It was just not that original and it felt a bit pointless. Plus, it focused more on the small cases than the main lead of the movie. Maybe if this was a drama the stories would have been better presented.

So, overall, three out of ten.

"You are the apple of my eye" Japanese version, felt like it was pointless.

Having not watched the other version, I can't really compare them. But, judging from other viewers, it was pretty similar to the original. In any case, what I liked about the movie was the feel good vibes, the youthful story and the performances. The characters were interesting, unique and funny. I enjoyed especially the leading character. That said, everyone did a great job with the performances.

However, when it came to the love story, that's when things got out of track. The movie kept promising to give something, but never did. It was like watching those two going in circles and never meeting. So, that was disappointing.

So, overall, six out of ten.

"A boy who wished to be okuda tamio and a girl who drove all men crazy" was .... okay. I really liked the ending, where the character had a meal with his old self. I guess there was more in that scene than in the whole movie.

The main plot of the drama was not anything that we haven't seen before. And the story felt a bit flat and predictable. It was easy to read the characters, especially the leading lady's. Not that the performances weren't good. Both actors did an good job and they had chemistry. However, her character was a bit stereotypical.

So, overall, four out of ten.

Love Buzz is a cute, short special, kind of like a movie.

The story is lovely, with the romance quite good. Sure, the movie started a bit oddly, with the lead presenting himself as the son of the girl. But the twist towards the ending was really good and unpredictable. However, and this is the sole reason why I took some points off this one, the ending was wide open. Maybe there will be a second "season" (?). Else, that ending can not possibly be justified, as it was not satisfying enough.

Still, the movie managed to explain the fantasy part quite well and they pulld off a nice love story in a very short time line. In addition, the performances were very good.

So, seven out of ten.

Perfume had an interesting story, not that the main plot was something we haven't watch before.

There was a main hole in the story when it came to the leading lady. Although both actresses were really good and they played the same character perfectly, there were some parts of her story that just didn't feel "real" like she really was going to react like that?

In any case, the love story was good and they had nice chemistry. The love triangle was okay too. However, the ending was just too cliche. At least, character vice, it was interesting.

So, six out of ten.

My absolute boyfriend, korean version, could have been better.

First of all, I don't know if the other versions had better ending, but this one was not well concluded. I might as well say that the ending was kind of open, as it just leave you guessing who's who.

The performances, however, were really good. The love triangle might have been weak, but the leading couple had chemistry and were cute together, at least if you set aside the fact that the leading man was a robot.

Now, for the pacing, the drama started strongly and it intriguing to watch. However, it got boring after a while, because everything happened just too slowly and the events were going in circles.

So, six out of ten.

I hate you Juliet! was just good.

The story was okay. They handled the fantasy part well, and that was the only part that spiced up the show a little, as well as the leading lady character, who was interesting and kind of entertaining. Hong Ki was adorable as always and cute, but he didn't really have any chemistry with the leading lady. So, the romance was weak as well as the love triangle that wasn't properly developed.

The past stories were okay, but most of the drama was packed with cliche plot twists. At least the performances were good.

So, six out of ten.

Special labor inspector Jo is one of the dramas that were overshadowed by the popular ones airing at the time. But, if you enjoy the drama that fight against injustice and against all odds, this one will do the trick for you.

The drama overall was good. There were some parts of it that were predictable. Others were boring. But, they mixed the action scenes with the comedy and the drama well. I also liked the secondary romance that was cute. And the relationships that were formed between the characters, were well presented and overall strong.

Finally, the performances from all actors and actresses were great.

So, seven out of ten for special labor inspector Jo.
