Even though the main description says that it is about men who have the "nine" curse, that theme only was displayed at the premisses of the drama. Actually, the story focused more on the love stories of the three (plus the small one) brothers. And those love stories were quite entertaining. They were intense, nostalgic, cute and sad, so you get the whole package. Also, the performances were really good and helped with the development of the story. Finally, the ending was nice, but I would have liked if there was another episode to properly conclude the story. So, 8 out of 10.

Although this drama has only two episodes, it manages to present the story beautifully. Also, even though it is dealing with time skipping and going back in the past to change the future, they did a great job with that difficult theme. The performances were great as well, and the sweet, emotional story helped a lot. The love story as well was fresh and warm and it dealed with loss, depression and bullying, themes that are difficult to deel properly as well. The ending, finally, was satisfying and I couldn't have imagined a better ending for this story. So, all in all, 8 out of 10.

The second movie of itazurana Kiss takes us all to join the two protagonists as they advance to their university studies. The compus days are following the same patern as the first movie, the boy doesn't have any interest in the girl, though he gives out some signs here and there, and the girl is totally in love with him. Surelly, the girl is one of the cutest characters in J dramas out there. She is fun and sweet and has many cute outfits to accompany her personality. The boy takes second lead in miscievous kiss part 2, as we mainly focus on the girl and what she does. But all in all, it was a fun movie.

Chinese school romance dramas are kind of my thing and this one does not disappoint. It has everything, innocent love, intensinty, second lead, good friendship vibes, chemistry between the girl and the boy, nice built up, drama, high school dynamics. Sure, the story wasn't original and there are tons of dramas out there with the same theme, but at least they hundled it pretty neat and the final result was decent. Also, the girl was cute and funny, whether the boy was kind of a snob at first, got better afterwards, but kept his attitude, which was refreshing because in most dramas the male lead starts with a i-hate-you-i-am-too-cynical and makes a 360 degrees turn a few episodes later. So, 7.5 out of 10.

Second Season of Let's Eat was kind of more interesting for me at least. The eating wasn't as good as the first season, though they did explore more cuisines. So, fair warning that this drama will make you hungry, even if you aren't really into korean dishes. The story, however, was kind of better, with the mystery interesting, but disappointing in the end, the love story very intriguing and the love triangle very entertaining, but kind of disappointing as well in the end. Actually, the love story was better than the first one, as the two characters were better for each other, and had better chemistry. So, all in all, 7 out of 10.

Honestly, season one was better for me. Not that it bothered me that much the fact that they changed the atress for one of the main characters. She was okay with her performance and she had more "spirit" in her than the previous one, so I enjoyed her more. But, this season was more about love and the mystery of the letter than the friendship and the struggles that young poeple go through. Still, it was a nice drama. The mystery was interesting, though it got a bit of tiring in the middle of the drama, but it picked up quickly towards the end. The new girl was interesting as well and she had an entertaining story herself. Finally, the performances were really good and some characters really kept the interest high more than others because of that. So, 8 out of 10.

If you like ninja-samurai movies, this one is perfect for you. Sure the characters are a bit manga like, but the action and the whole universe is amazing. Actually, the costumes and the settings were realistic and created an atmosphere of authenticity. The story is quite catchy as well, and entertaining to boot. In addition the characters were interesting and the good performances helped a lot to support the movie, as it had many sword fights. The action scenes were well executed and didn't look fake. The soundtrack supported the mood of the movie as well. So, 8 out of 10.

This drama presents a cute story with a good romance and some
interesting situations. The whole drama was a bit like a manga, but
fortunately not as much as others, with only the girl acting a bit over
the top from time to time. However, she was cute and lovable, plus her
acting was really good. There were some funny moments, and the love
story was okay, especially at the beginning. The drama kind of had a
downfall towards the ending, with the love story getting a bit boring
and the events being idiotic at some point. Though, at that time, the
love triangle grew stronger and it was interesting to watch that at
least. Overall, 7 out of 10.

Second season of Switch Girl and here are my thoughts: even though I'm a japanese rom com otaku that probably will watch anything that was based on a manga, had a school concept and Kento Yamazaki was in, still, even I found this one idiotic. The one and only reason that I'm not giving this one one out of ten is because of the leading lady, who was spectacular. I mean, I imagine it's not easy to pull off that character and not appear fake and silly, and she managed to make it look natural. BUT, the cases were silly and extremely odd, and the whole rape thing was kind of insulting at some point. I mean, they used it as a threat and practicly everyone wanted to assult the girl. I understand cultural differences and all, but still, it was too much. Finally, the funny character stopped appearing and the romance was okay, even though the whole thing was based on the thrilling moment when those two will sleep together.
