The Glory Part 2 (2023) - I really slept late just for me to finish to drama to not see any spoilers on the internet particulary on social medias. As soon as it came out I watched this one immediately. The thrill definitely lowered down in this drama compared to the first season/part, still I like it. The emotions and the acting skills are superb. Special mention would be Kang Hyeon-Nam ahjumma, the right hand of Dong-Eun, there is a particular scene that I was really in awe of her acting, she was really good. Second character that I really am in awe is Dong-Eun’s mother, I hated her character so much, like a different kind of hatred which means that her acting is really good. All the characters are really great in acting their respective characters. I am satisfied with the ending though I was confused with the part of Yoo Jeong and his revenge to his father. I think it would be nice if there is a seperate drama for that.

Queenmaker (2023) – one of the dramas that you will just sit through because it just flows. I really like this type of dramas. It’s mostly politics which I really like since political dramas is not typical in Korean dramas, though apparent as a part of a drama in some other cases. What I like about the drama is that it shows the process of how election is done in South Korea and how different parties work for their candidacy. There is a really gripping feeling that I need to watch the next episodes since every episodes end is in a cliffhanger. Worth the watch and I finished it quickly which shows how I like this drama. Good drama release of 2023.

Lies Hidden in My Garden (2023) – started really strong, I was really looking forward to the drama, and it has that certain angst and thrill/crime that I like. As it goes on, it felt like it’s fine, downgraded to what the previous episodes has been showing. I wasn’t excited, especially in the last episodes. Still, I’m glad that it’s only 8 episodes so it wasn’t too long. I was not a fan of the ending as well, but I’m glad that they concluded it that way, it makes sense. I think I was just underwhelmed with the overall impact it has given, to think that the actors and actresses are big time stars, I think it is too short. I still recommend this drama.

Age Harrasment (Japan) (2015) - this is my first Japanese drama that the genre is not romance. I did watch Japanese dramas from the influence of reading manga but I didn't know what prompt me to watch this and also I watched this one without stopping or breaks. I like this drama that show the conflicts around the workplace. We can see here some injustices particularly towards gender and age, which I think is a brave move since Japanese are known to be conservative when it comes to portraying topics like this in dramas. I did really enjoy this drama way better than I expected.

Yamada-kun to Nananin no Majo (Japan) (2013) - As other reviewers says about this drama, it’s simple it’s cute and its fun. With over the top acting in between, I guess this drama did just been watched and put on my watched list because I can’t remember this drama anymore. This just entails though it is fun it is one of the dramas that is easily forgotten especially if you are not a fan like me. It would be a kind of drama that can just be passed by. Characters are quirky. I think this drama is for beginners, especially in the Japanese Drama. I am not an avid watcher of Japanese dramas so I can't really tell if they are good in acting or not, so far I can see that they are unto the over the top acting.

Bisaya Review

seeing the full version this year 2020, what I like about this drama is that dili kayo sya restricted. There were scenes that’s applauding especially Jerry Yan acting as Dao Ming Si. I like it also na clear ang reason why Shancai fall out of love for Huaze Lei. The subconscious also sa mga characters kay gina istorya throughout the drama, which is an okay for me kay para masabtan pajud ang drama. The drama itself kay daghan confusing moments and out of place jud pud kau ang storyline pero I find it charming as well. I like that the characters are portrayed as mature people rather than school type na characters, though sa school manjud ang intrada sa drama at first.

Remarriage and Desires (2022) - finished this in one sitting. Revenge dramas are really enticing and satisfying to watch. What I like about this drama are the characters. Top tier actors and actresses, great in expressing their respective characters. There is this thrill in the drama that I like and also how the characters are portrayed. I’m satisfied with the drama and a season 2 would not be as appealing maybe for me for this drama. Full packed, there is not too much romance parts in the drama which I really like as well. There are characters that I’m hoping to know what happened after the chaos since there is no closure that is shown in the drama for them.

A slice of life drama amidst fantasy, crime and historical dramaland nowadays. I like that they release it in one day, all 12 episodes. I was a 2 days late watching from the release date but it's fine. It's a good drama, especially dealing with mental health. I really like the realization of the female lead. The doctors in the drama, which are also humans is portrayed in a humane way, which I like. The nurses are also given exposure and also the caregivers. Good representation of the medical field is portrayed so I like it. The cases portrayed is also simple that someone who is not in the medical expertise could understand. A good watch.

The Chaser (2012) – I just watched this drama by 2016 and I think it’s good. Not totally impressing at first but all the actors in the drama did great. This drama seems unrealistic to a person like me (who is not a lawyer and neither a politician). This drama portrayed a different angle of the society for me, and I find it scary. I liked it that I watch this by 2016 so the drama is already completed, I watched it for 2-3 days and didn’t watch any other dramas in between which I usually do with other dramas, I watched it continuously because I am afraid that I will forget the names of the people in the drama. This drama, I cried alongside Baek Hongseok but I also cried with Kang Dongyoon. One thing I learned from this drama is that greed is scary and gets you lonely.

Another Miss Oh (2016) - Eric really do choose good dramas. This drama is just have "everything" that I could ask for in terms of the emotions that I could feel in a drama. While the main lead is crying, I would cry a lot as well, maybe much more than the characters because I could really feel the heartache. I really like the plot and story and how it came to life. I applaud the writer and has so much respect for everyone, writers, directors and actors in this drama. I felt frustrated but also in love with the drama. All of the characters in the drama are necessary for the drama to unfold. What I've learned in this drama is that every person has a different perspective in a situation. Even if good intention if there is no honesty, the good intention will not come across.

Angry Mom (2015) - I didn’t have expectations of it because of the title but i was wrong. It was good in both the fun part and the action part. I like how the story revolves around bullying which is common nowadays. I never really like high school setting dramas but this an exception. It is quite slow paced but still worth watching. It makes my heart beat and it’s my first seeing Baro in a serious 2nd generation chaebol - and I think he did great. This drama also makes me loved Kim Jisoo and is now one of my favorite actors (this was before his bullying scandal).

49 Days/Pure Love (2011) - this drama has all the elements which you could really fall in love with. I remember I was so crazy about this drama. The importance of one’s life given the time limit, and how far love can go for you, with a twist of family love & friendship, with romance as well, this drama portrays just that. The soundtrack of the drama is good. My favorite character would be grim reaper Jung Il Woo (*who wouldn’t like him?). I just didn’t like the ending though because I want Kang and Yikyung to be together, which didn't happen. I find the drama heart aching and it exudes melodrama. The actors did really well from the villains to the leads. Highly recommended.

The story has that premise that makes me interested and curious as a viewer. The first episodes were nice and also engaging in introducing the characters. I think how the story was portrayed and the mysteries that is in the story was not well executed in terms of pacing since it feels like that it was all jumbled.
I don't have anything against the cast, I think they are all brilliant. The female lead is really charming. She carried her role so well, she is a really great actress. The male lead is fine with me. The second couple, sadly did not have the chemistry that I was looking for. I watch this about 2 episodes per day and I can't remember most of the how the drama went out because it is forgettable especially at the last parts. It's just a so-so drama for me.
