Best Chicken (2019) - this drama just screams amateur, which is nice if you are an open minded watcher. Almost all the characters in this drama are new faces I have yet to discover except for the chef as I have seen him in other dramas, particularly in Fluttering Warning. First part of the drama I felt hungry since it is all about cooking. The main dish is chicken, and it looks so tasty on screen. This is a light drama to watch and there is no complicated conflicts in between, maybe at the end parts but I still like it since it's not too heavy. The ending was a bit questionable, but I guess they stick with the reality.

Pretty Man/ Bel-ami (2013) - I don't know why people didn't like this one because I find this drama really good. For me, it's one of IU's recommended dramas, though I don't like her character here. It was hard for me to move to the next episodes after watching the first episode because it does not really appealed to me, first turn off was the character of IU. Eventually, I did find the sense or the purpose of the drama and like watching it along the way. I did accept the characters in the drama and there are mind blogging parts in the drama that I was not ready, which are good points for me as a watcher.

Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life (2019) - it's been a long time since I watch a 100-episode Korean drama, and I struggled finishing this drama. The reason why I watched this drama is because I have a copy somehow and also Yoon Park is here, with the same role as a chef on Age of Youth. I super love him in Age of Youth that is why I was really looking forward to this drama but expectations vs reality hit me and I really struggled finishing this drama. I was affected and got hurt with what happened with the characters especially at the first parts of the drama, I cried a lot but still continue watching this. What I did is about 1 to 3 episodes per day depending on my mood. True to its number of episodes, they did the pacing slowly, alongside the revelations and the love story.

Beautiful Gong Shim (2016) – this drama started really great for me as a watcher. I think it is my first Minah drama and she is a great actress from being an idol, and she really suits the role Gong Shim. Namkoong Nim always delivers, he is really good in different roles and is a great actor overall. The cute banter between the leads at the start was so cute to watch. But as the story goes it became too serious to what it was supposed to be at the beginning. The pacing becomes dragging as the drama does not seem to hold its original stance. I did felt uninterested in the drama as it goes and somehow felt regret to how the story turned out.

Angel’s Revenge (2014) - I applaud myself for finishing this 100+ episodes drama. I saw the trailer of this drama from our local television network GMA as tagalog dubbed and I can't stand the dubbing so I find any means to watch this in korean format with english subtitles.
What I like most about this drama is the romance between the main leads. They really have the undying chemistry all throughout watching this and I felt butterflies in my stomach. On the plot, I would say since it is a "makjang" drama it is indeed unbelievable and it's really exhausting to watch. For the fact that it's too long, the angst and the anxiety watching this is there so it's pretty heavy on me as a watcher who is not familiar with this type of dramas. Overall, I would still recommend this to those who like "makjang" dramas and have the time to watch this.

Angel Eyes (2014) - I enjoyed watching this drama and Lee Sang Yoon here, for me, is soooo handsome. I don't know if it because of his role as a firefighter or the uniform but he is gorgeous here. I love the younger version of the main leads. They are cute and innocently romantic together. They also did well in terms of acting and I felt the emotions that they portrayed in the drama. As to the older main leads, they did not disappoint me as well. I think they portrayed the characters really well in terms of acting their respective roles. The main setback for me in the drama is the storyline's pacing and how it flowed, I think it got dragging. Still, I cried alongside them and I think this drama was worth my time.

Aftermath (2014) - since it's really short, I felt confused watching this one. I didn't get the chance to fully understand the characters which had the potential to be introduced in the drama. I like the concept, the vibe is there. The main lead choice is also great for me. I think he has the guts, the face and the attitude to carry the drama but I guess it was too short for me to actually enjoy it. Since it is too short for my liking, I didn't really felt the necessary emotions in the drama to be invested in it. I can't remember the OST of the drama, and I would not rewatch this for sure. I would still recommend this to those who like this type of genre.

About Time (2018) - The concept of the drama is really nice, but I think the chosen actors for the drama fell short of my expectations, and eventually made the drama uninteresting for me as a viewer. I did finish this drama for the sake of finishing this one. There is no definite reason behind the clock and all and so I think an answer was not given to me as a viewer to think that it is the main focus of the drama as the name suggest. I think it’s too “romantic” for me, still there are heartbreaking moments especially when it comes to family but I think it gets more tiring at the end part since the comedic part was nowhere to be seen which is what was initially portrayed in the drama. No chemistry between the leads and sorry female lead, this type of character does not really suit you.

A Poem a Day (2018) - I really like how the drama started, as being familiar with the hospital setting and seeing that this medical drama focuses more on things that are unfamiliar to non-medical people, I truly appreciate the fact that they pursued this drama. I also like that it is true to the drama’s title name, there is always a ‘poem’ in every episode. Being a slice of life drama genre, I am into this drama, lighthearted drama but has in impact. The bad side for me is that the main leads does not really have a chemistry romantically. Still, I like how they unfold the romance part of the drama, and truthfully I am very much pleased with who end up with each other. I think it's hard for me to see Lee Joon Hyuk in a romance drama so far base on what I have seen in his other roles but I look forward to it in the future. This is just my third Lee Joon Hyuk drama that he is the main lead and I am satisfied. Jang Dong Yoon as Minho suits him as well, and I find him more charming here compared to Tale of Nokdu. I also like the side characters of this drama, I find them almost all likeable and relatable at the same time. This drama is one of my recommended dramas for sure.

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop (2011) - this is the first installment of the flower boy series but this is the last one I’ve seen among the three. This drama didn’t get my attention at first, since I didn't like the first 2 episodes but as the series goes, this drama grew on me. I'm glad I did continue watching this drama as it keeps getting better after every episode. Since it is a flower boy concept, I would the second male lead is so handsome! I like that it focuses on the central point of the drama which is the main 3 characters and the ramen shop. Out of the 3 flower boy series, I think this has the best storyline.

This is one of the popular dramas before but came out as boring for me. One positive thing about this drama is the OST. I find it inviting and easy to listen to. Park Shin Hye did great here for me. Usually this is the usual roles I find Shin Hye playing/acting and I believe it is a perfect fit for her. On the other hand, Yong Hwa is not not that good in acting here - maybe because he is not an actor per se but an idol/singer. I did find the improvement in his acting in the latter parts of the drama. I liked the first parts of the drama, especially the competition between the classical string instruments and the band thing but as the story goes it came out as dragging for me and came too serious which was not in the premise.

I don't think this is a bad drama as what others think. The drama is pretty solid with it's theme and also how it portrayed it's leads. The drama did get boring at the latter parts, since the climax part did not really have that impact that it suppose to give. As I get to the episodes one by one, I came to appreciate the drama and how it unfolds. I also appreciate that they wanted the characters to have a proper ending, almost significant character in the drama is given the spotlight in the end. One downside of the drama for me is the downfall of the excitement or the interest of the drama.
I like the main leads, their acting is great for me as a watcher. The chemistry is also there. I also like the OST. I think this is a pretty decent drama, and I would still recommend this one.
