Comments: It was ok, I guess the couple solved one of their problems. The acting was great though, these two are not your typical actors and they have charms that no other actors and actresses have.

Comments: This was great, really put of the box directing. If you are a fan of standard camera work, then it might bother you. Really smooth editing. I like that no body is a good guy, even Choi Woo Sik. The story is tight and the characters had a purpose and was integrated into the story, except one (the senior detective). The acting of the three leads were great. I think this was worth 8 episodes.

Comments: It was okay, I made a review on it in my YouTube channel. And to summarize, I loved Yang Zi, loved her pairing with Jin Shi Jia, other than that it was ehh.

Status: completed

Comments: Another good drama, great acting, I think the twist were obvious, and they could have made some story telling choices that have made the backgrounds of the characters cleaner. And of course how Jang Jin Man survived, but I think that is for season 2 which I believe the production team is hoping for.

Comments: It was a good rom-com. I think that the good points of this drama and the bad points are so clear for this drama. But Park Min Young never fails in her rom-coms.

Comments: Finally got to finish this. The cases were fun, it got preachy but it is expected in this type of drama. Some people were annoyed with the FL, because she seemed to be just a rude character. I did not mind it. I love Muyo Tsuyoshi, I don't watch all of his dramas, but when I do, he is always a delight. There are heavy references to past really popular Japanese dramas , some I got, some I didn't, so keep that in mind when watching the drama.

Status: dropped

Comments: checked out a few episodes, it was okay, but I was having a burnout in watching Asian dramas, I couldn't continue.

Status: dropped

Comments: The plot got too much for me. I was expecting a more subtle and nuanced view on divorce, but this drama was different from what I have expected. Lee Ji Ah is miscast in this role.

Status: dropped

Comments: I could tolerate the cases, even it stretched the logic. I wish the conclusion of the  cases were done better. The two assistant of the ML could have been utilized better, maybe get ride of the female one. I liked the chemistry between the ML and the FL. The actress that played the empress left an impression on me other than being pretty. 

Status: dropped

Comments: Really liked the beginning of the drama, I really did. Loved the young and refreshing cast. And its been a while since I have seen a drama with double personality. But as the plot went on and on I was dragging myself to watch the next episode and dropped it when there was 2 episodes left. If they kept the plot straight forward and with 12 episodes, then I would've definitely finished it.

Status: dropped

Comments: The narration in the beginning was full of character instead of the typical, this is a serious drama ones, so it left a good impression on me and set the tone for the drama really well. The cases are eh and the production quality is also eh, and I just dropped it.

Status: dropped

Comments: I tried my best to watch this show, but I just can't for some reason.

Status: dropped

Comments: I was enjoying it until the 5th time the mother-daughter fight and make up. Just got tried of it. The chemistry of the main FL was not working with anybody she got paired with. I got triggered because it used to remind of the relationship that me and my mom had.

Status: currently watching

Comments: I love Nishijima Hidetoshi. I love dramas that have classical music incorporated in them. Its not that heavy and a good slice of life.

Status: currently watching

Comments: Slowly rewatching this for some reason. Probably because of Lee Jin Wook.

Status: currently watching

Comments: Wasn't completely sure in the first episode, but after the second episode when the two leads were drunk and was talking all kinds of nonsense with the grandfather in the car, their chemistry just exploded for me. I think it is quite obvious the gap in acting ability, Jeon Jong Seo is just too good with the expectation of some veterans. But I did not think that she could pull off a rom-com female lead because of her previous works, but damn she is good.

Status: currently watching

Comments: I love all the leads and was wondering why I had no idea this drama existed. It is okay, we'll see where this leads us.

Status: currently watching

Comments: The story telling could be cleaner and better. Everybody is egging on the FL as a character and the actress (and most are valid criticism and some not) she does not know how to be on camera (some actors don't know how to act but seem natural on camera). Probably going to drop it.
