After Flowers ever after, which was good but nothing special really, the second season focused more on the one couple that had broken up.

I was a bit sceptical when they were planing to get the couple back together, as I was fearing that the problems that set them apart will be even greater this time around. However, they actually managed to make it work. The couple had chemistry and the love story was both cute and realistic at the same time. The plot was a bit predictable but it was satisfying.

In addition the performances were good from everyone in the cast. However, I've found the two main characters a bit different from the first season. That aside, they were good nevertheless.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

What I really liked about One Million Yen and the Nigamushi Woman was the simplicity of the story and the acting.

When I say simplicity, it wasn't that the plot was boring or too thin. But, the way they presented the story, the character's struggles and her way of thinking and making ends meet was really good, simple, clean and realistic. Plus, the love story was realistic as well.

The acting, in addition, was really good. Especially the leading lady was phenomenal.

However, the ending was so so, as it left many questions answered. And that felt like the movie was presenting just a glimpse of the girl's life.

So, overall, six out of ten.

You are my destiny or fated to love you was actually and unexpectedly a good drama.

The chemistry of the couple was unbelievable. Yes, the love triangle was not as good as it should have, which would have increased the intensity of the love story, but well, it is what it is. Plus, the mystery of the sister was interesting.

The acting, moreover, was nice and the leads were adorable. The performances were great as well.

However, even though the story was daring with that plot and theme, the drama had many cliches and it got slow towards the ending. But, the ending was more than satisfying, so seven out of ten.

I really wanted to love My Dear loser the series edge of seventeen. It was promoted after the Uprince series and it looked really funny and adorable. However it was not as good as I was expecting it to be.

The first part was okay and kind of cute. It was entertaining to see how the main character changed slowly after making new friends. The side characters were quite interesting as well. And, after first half, those side characters were the best thing happening to the series. The romance was okay at first, but it got a bit boring eventually. The drama stopped being funny as well. And the main character got a bit annoying.

So, six out of ten.

The second season of just one bite was kind of better compared to the first one. The food stuff didn't improve. For a show that is named "just one bite" the food scenes weren't that good and they were a bit like the ones in the first season.

At least some of the stories from the first season were completed. Especially the one with the girl who broke up with her boyfriend because she had self esteem issues. I also enjoyed the drama that the leading lady's relationship had.

The performances were good as well. And the soundtrack was interesting.

So, seven out of ten.

Kill It attracks the viewer due to the killer cast. Nana is simply beautiful (didn't know her before this one....) and she pulled off the role quite well for an idol turned actress. She even managed the action scenes. Jang Ki Yong is back with another teary drama. After the success of "Come and Hug me" he portrays an assassin working as a vet. Okay, the premisses weren't perfect, but his backgroung story was really, really, really sad. The whole mystery case was really dark as well, especially since it involved kids.
Honestly, even though the performances were great, the story very intense and heavy, the start was too slow. I almost droped it because the first few episodes were lacking originality and that factor that pulles the viewer in.
So, 7.5 out of 10.

My First First Love was a good drama. It started kind of slowly and a bit oddly too, but it picked up quickly.

I did like Ji Soo's character and he portrayed him very nicely, with boyish charms and boyfriend quality shots. Jung Jin Young was adorable as well and he is blooming into a great actor. However, the leading lady was a bit annoying. I found her character a bit messy, as she presented two personalities throughout the drama.

Another thing that i didn't like was the way they had ended the drama. The ending could have been a bit more smoothly, even if there is a second season coming soon.

The second couple, finally, was cute and promising. And they provived some solid funny moments overall.

So, seven out of ten.

Ouran High School Host Club the movie was just so so. I still found the same let downs as I did with the drama : too closely to an anime, overracting, idiotic scenes (but not that many), crazy characters that promised a more in depth exploration of their personality and past, which never happened etc

However, this one also had a really odd conclusion to the love story. One thing that I liked in the drama was the love triangle. Here, however, the love triangle was weak and the love story didn't have a nice, satisfying ending.

There were some things that I did enjoy however: Nichkhun's cameo, Chiba's character, the sport festival and the way the hosting club teamed up and competed. I also liked the leading lady, the most reasonable character.

So, five out of ten.

I have not read the mange nor watched the anime. So, this was my first time picking up Ouran High School Host Club and it did feel like watching an anime.

As it is a parody (I think) the characters and the events are copy paste from the classic shoujo manga trops that can be found in the genre. However, I did find the acting a bit over the top, as well as the some scenes. But the settings and the clothes seemed quite good and it looked as if the production had really invested in the representation of the Ouran High School.

Overall, the story was cute, although you have to watch the movie to conclude it. The romance was kind of off as well, even though the love triangle was good.

So, five out of ten.

Misaki Number One was surprisingly good. Although the plot was short of predictable, it stuck with the original story about the teacher who tries to connect with her students, and it never went astray as to add a love story out of nowhere or something over the top dramatic, even though the ending was emotional.

So, one thing that I loved was the relationship between the teacher and her students. Also, I enjoyed the leading lady. As a character, she was adoralbe and easily lovable. And the actress suited the role, as she was pretty and dynamic.

However, the small stories centered mainly on the group of students that we watch in the first episode and it never really presents the whole class properly. And, some of them were just annoying.

So, six out of ten.

Haechi was lengthy but had a nice set of characteres that supported the drama well.

First of all, there were too many characters, but they eventually teamed up for a common cause and it was easier to keep up with the story after that. The story itself was a bit slow at the begining, as the characters were introduced. Then, it was kind of boring and I almost droped it, as it seemed like just another historical drama about corruption and those old mean rich men who just can't make peace with the main character. However, the story picked up eventually. The twists were good, the characters interesting and the drama and action scenes just enough to keep the interest high. However, I found the romance unnecessary, as the story focused more on the political aspect than the love story and thus the later felt like it didn't fit the plot.

So, seven out of ten.

Love Relationship was a basic drama. The story doesn't offer much, but it was enjoyable. So, if you enjoy shoujo-josei like drama, this will be a fun one to watch.

Actually, most of the drama was nice, although the last few episodes were boring. The characters were fun, but were never explored more in depth. But, the performances from all actors and actresses were good, and that helped overall. Plus, the love triangle was really good and intense. The story from the past was nice as well.

So, overall, six and a half out of ten for this drama, because most of it was enjoyable, although it was predictable.
