Boss & Me is amazing. I loved the plot and the actors as well as the pacing. It was fun and realistic at some points. At others it was a little.... over the top in situations where the poor girl meets the super rich conglomerate owner. Don't get me wrong I love the formula. It works and they did it well.

The romance is a wonderful and engaging part of the drama but its not all we as viewers can look forward to. There is also the familial relations, friendships, work life, career advancements, growth of characters in a realistic natural way. The growth had an amazing pace. Also even though second leads tend to get crazy I liked how they laid out the actors in those positions.
There wasn't really a big bad in this series which is actually pretty good. I mean not really any office politics in an overbearing way. It was going over relationships, how they progress, what happens when problems arise, how they deal with issues, growing in their relationships.
It was wrapped up very well in a timely fashion, no loose ends.

The length of the drama may seem long but it's not that bad. It keeps one's attention and it's a decent drama to watch as a marathon.
This drama to date is one of my most memorable and favorite dramas to re-watch. It deserves a chance of up to at least episode 6, then make your decision. In the first episode if it doesn't already have you fully engaged all that's needed is some amazing plot foundation.
Enjoy Boss & Me AKA Shan Shan Comes to Eat :D

Please I couldn’t watch it any faster if I tried

This was honestly so good. Great acting, plot and music. I even enjoyed the clothing and the action sequences. Loved the actors and actresses. I just kept saying just one more episode. Definitely would watch again. It’s also a very quick watch. Each episode ended on a slightly amazing cliffhanger. Except the ending which did its job well.

Really liked how it was realistic yet over the top. Showed us what it’s like to be a modern woman and a man who understands not every person needs a second chance. PLUS ITS SO FUNNY MY GOODNESS!

Do yourself a solid. Give it a go!

Darkness That Truly Shows You The Light Inside

This drama was well done. Every movement was on point by each actor who was possessed. The music suited every scene perfectly. The supporting cast was so well assigned. I was even a huge fan of how the plot unfolded and moved forward. Every time we think we found something out a new twist would arrive.

Also it’s hella creepy and dark a lot of the time. Its supernatural aspects were so well thought out and depicted. It’s not easy to give life to this much level of detail of possession and the aftermath it leaves behind.

I love how each characters relationship was well fleshed out. You grew to love every character and understand why they would go to the lengths they go. Some actions at times feel too much, but with a new perspective you understand exactly why it’s that way. There was such good friendship depicted throughout the show. Not just our mains but their familial, coworkers, and old friends.

Tears happened in this drama so often. Emotions would well up and I love when dramas evoke emotion that way. Makes it the best kind of immersion one could ask for.

I’d watch it again most definitely. Give it a shot.

Until Death Do They Part

It’s what I expected, but still different. The usage of music in this is fantastic. Some chase scenes just hysterical. There were so many twists and turns.

The casting was well done. From the mains to the support. Though some of the secondary supports are hardly seen at all. It’s almost like they’re filler characters with a few more lines than usual.

At the beginning it’s what one might expect then it takes a very steep detour, and instead of turning slowly back it just keeps on going. Like a rabbit hole we keep getting further into the crazy. The title night of the undead in a way is extremely honest because you’ll notice something recurring throughout the film.

I’d watch this again. It’s light hearted until it gets straight up homicidal.. yeah that’s fair. The cinematography is actually very well done. Just enough to keep us guessing, and still give us some anticipation.

Give this a go, but remember to go into it with an open mind. It doesn’t fully stay in one genre. Plus make sure to watch until the very end for the best gift of all.

This movie was hands-down so perfectly great. Emotionally I've been wrecked by awesome feels! I loved it so much it followed a bunch of the good scenes, but it also deviated and was fantastic.

The acting was very well done. I felt a very good connection with our main leads. Jealousy and love being demonstrated in nice subtle ways. We really get to slowly see his affections grow. Second male lead isn't as crazily attached to her. They give us a bigger focus on their relationship. Additionally I like how she doesn't fully take the stuff that he dishes out like there's no other option. She was very brave in this version.

Something of note we didn't really get to see the familial relationships. We did, but nowhere near the lengths that all other versions show us. I mean I get really attached to main leads parent's every time. We hardly see his dad, or his brother. Again there is still a bigger focus on their growing relationship. Thus they made us get extremely attached to them, and not so much the supporting family and friends.

I loved this version. I'd be down for a second movie or even a drama version. This adaptation just worked really well in film. The pacing and character growth was all very well done.

I will be watching again and highly recommending to all my friends who go for romcoms. Ugh 11/10 JUST AMAZING.

Started off good then went off on a rough tangent

Well that happened…

The show starts off relatively good and promising.

Then as realistic depictions go… it’s gets insane.

It’s like it dived into the greed, sadism, and crazy.

The acting was top tier.. but I don’t think that would make me rewatch it… at least not the later half…

I don’t know what they were trying to truly depict in the show. Like what was the reasoning? What was the point of multiple Goliath’s? Felt tough to watch because I didn’t see any true justice dealt. I also felt most of the characters weren’t developed the best… a tad tough to watch.. and some people just got harder and harder to watch…
Wow I’ve said tough to watch a lot..

The action sequences were quite well done though. Music was also well selected…

Wouldn’t super recommend but if you want something with lots of voice over and almost an abstract concept.. have at it.

Rough but what else can you expect from rEVEnge

Just rough. Our main female goes through years of planning to bring down a bunch of people. It’s really a well thought out story and basic mental battle. It’s fast paced with great acting.

You hate who you should hate and have trouble supporting those who you could support. It’s all about the grit of greed, power, and privilege. With a side of love, obsession, and TANGO. Yup. Didn’t think that would play such a part.

Everything in this drama is shown to us at opportune times to make us question, learn, and suspect what’s to come. Even the music is so perfect for every scene and moment. This OST is awesome.

Ending won’t be for everyone but it’s a revenge story. Stuff has to happen. Definitely darker than I thought, but deep down I think I expected it. At least something near to what happened. Redemption? Death? Success? New Beginning? Justice?

High speed revenge story that will keep your mind engaged. Hours well spent. Really liked it. A bit too soon for a rewatch though.

It takes only one

Juror 8 was a fantastic film. An independent thinking Park Hyung Sik to go hand in hand with a dazzling main cast, filled with kdramas best supporting actors and actresses. This is a movie based on Korea's first jury case in 2008. It shows the process that happens. As they meet, decide the verdict, question, and find answers.

The music goes well with the film. The acting and camera shots are wonderful.

It's my first Korean film in quite a while, and it did not disappoint. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a movie that is fun, serious, shocking, exhilarating, and overall satisfying. Just saying the trailer got me interested. Here's hoping this helps you make a decision.
