My mister is an odd drama with an interesting, unique plot. The first two episodes were so confusing, that I had to put it off and actually concidere dropping it. Fortunatelly, I didn't. The plot grows thick and everything falls in place after episode three, when we get to see the characters, their struggles and their real personalities and figure out what everyone seeks for. Ji Ahn was a nice character. She was poor, and she had given up on escaping her situation any time soon. Her mister, the boss of her department where she works part time, seems a simple guy with family issues but eventually, everyone around him plot for his fall. All the characters of the drama were unique and interesting, though that actress was kind of annoying at some point. I also enjoyed the fact that the story didn't follow any romantic twist, but stayed true to its dark, slice of life focus. So, great performances, great story and great characters.

Korean Drama '' The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection '' is the second season of the makjang that gives the conclusion to the story.

The drama was over the top, as was expected from a drama of that genre, but, still, there were some elements that just got too far and ended up being cringey. Also, the plot got boring at times, as the twists were stale.

There were some characters that did get a big change of character, even though that didn't redeem them from what they did to Da Mi.

Also, the romance was okay, but the characters didn't have any chemistry, nor there was any romantic scenes, so there was not point in the whole ordeal.

Finally, the performances were enjoyable.

Korean Drama '' Wonderful World '' is a melodrama-thriller.

The drama has quite a tragic story and it easily gets emotional and bittersweet when it deals with those matters. With an intense start, the drama slowly unfolds into a political thriller, with the main couple (not a romantic one though, fortunately!!!) having lots of chemistry and enhancing the intensity of the story.

Also, the performances were all great by every actor and actress of the cast. The characters were interesting as well and had depth. In addition, the family drama had many layers.

Finally, the ending was nicely handled, though the final episodes seemed like they were losing momentum.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Korean mini series '' Under The Gun '' is a school romance - melodrama.

The drama has a strong start, with introducing the characters and establishing the romantic relationship and the love triangle. Those characters were, actually, quite interesting and the actors and actresses did a good job handling them and giving us solid performances.

Unfortunately, the drama suffered from its length. Hence, everything happened fast and the development was unsteady. Especially when it came to the romance, it felt like the main girl was forcing the relationship on the guy, as she was following him around like a puppy. Also, the whole rivalry could have been handled better.

So, overall, four out of ten.

Korean Drama '' The Impossible Heir '' is a melodrama about the relationship between two young men.

On paper, the storyline sounds fantastic, however, the first part of the drama is quite a let down. The drama actually takes a bit to settle down and find its way. With the family drama being lukewarm and the weak romance trying to take the main place in the plot, the series was quite boring for that part.

The second part, on the other hand, was quite intense and enjoyable. With the main lead taking a turn and embracing his dark side, the thriller got better and more action scenes were added.

Finally, the performances varied from good to wooden.

So, overall, five out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Yellow Boots '' is a melodrama with a revenge plot.

Though the drama starts a bit awkward, introducing the characters and their relationship between them, things get better and better as the drama progresses. Without unnecessary overdramatic scenes and outbursts, the story truly gives a satisfying result in the end, which is quite dramatic. However, the final episodes were roughly chopped and edited, which made the drama look like a low-budget one, which was not the case, as the rest of it was smooth and the pace was just perfect.

Also, the performances were great, and, the characters' development was nicely handled. The characters were interesting to boot.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Flex x Cop '' is a remake of the Russian series '' Silver Spoon '', with a Korean twist of course.

The drama offers a lot of cases that the investigation team is called to solve, in their delightfully whimsical way. That way the main plot doesn't get stuffy, and the drama does indeed focus on the police enforcement, and doesn't simply give a few at the start only to excite the audience and then try to keep things interesting with unnecessary melodrama for the second half.

The main mystery case was also interesting and twisty and enhanced the drama of the characters more.

The characters, moreover, where all interesting and had smooth chemistry.

The performances, therefore, were all great and everyone did a great job with their characters.

So, overall, nine out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Doctor Slump '' is a slice of life melodrama with some medical drama hints.

The drama has a healing story, with the romance being well paced and starting from academic rivals, to friends, to lovers, which shifted the story from the love story to the difficulties the characters had to face and overcome. Hence, the slow pace helped the mood of the drama a lot.

Unfortunately, the second half of the drama felt more like a filler. There were only a few things left to be resolved and a few new things to be added to the story. At this point, the side couple was the one who kept things interesting and offered a lot of adorable moments.

Finally, the performances were all enjoyable by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Marry My Husband '' is a fantasy melodrama with a romance to boot.

The drama, first of all, has a strong start. The melodrama hits its peak then, with the villains being truly despicable, creating the right environment to cultivate a revenge plot hereby.

The romance was also cute, especially since the main couple had loads of chemistry.

On the other hand, the drama started getting messy, with idiotic twists, cheesy romantic scenes, and an ending that was rushed to conclude everyone's storyline.

At least, the performances were all enjoyable.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Korean Drama '' Welcome to Samdalri '' is a drama about family and going back to one's roots in order to heal and reset.

The drama has a nice mood, with the setting being a countryside-seaside village and the small community vibes aided the story greatly.

Also, the side characters were all interesting, especially the sisters, and their stories were funny, emotional, and original. Also, the family drama was really sweet and sad at the same time.

On the other hand, the main characters were not written well. The female lead was annoying, and the male lead was just a nice guy, without any other trade. Which is a pitty, as both actors are strong and always give enjoyable performances. Also, their romance was boring and predictable.

So, overall, six out of ten.
