Doctor X is about a freelance surgeon named Daimon Michiko who is not a fan of authority or hospital politics. She's a damn good surgeon too! She never fails, and she makes sure to let everyone know it. She's a strong female character, and I really love her. Except she does this weird thing with her eyes where she opens then really wide (idk in an attempt to think?). Anyways, due to her brash personality, she butts heads with almost all the staff and it's fun to watch everyone finally come to admire/appreciate her skills.The rest of the cast is great as well, and the music is pretty catchy.
Although the story is pretty simple, Doctor X manages to pull me in. It just has tht thing only jdramas have. This is the perfect drama to marathon for when ur bored. Actually, it kinda reminds me of Gokusen in a way, with how it ended. Although I haven't seen Doctor X 2 yet, I imagine tht it's probably gonna deal with Daimon in a new hospital with a new surgical team. Anyways, in my opinion, it's not a must-see, but i ttly recommend it!

I heard this drama was a manga adaptation, so excuse me if my review is not based upon how good of an adaptation it was. I haven't read the manga (don't plan to), n never even heard of it until this drama. I started because of Oguri Shun, and man did he deliver. He plays two different characters, but really four if u think about it: Saburo, Nobunaga, Saburo pretending to be Nobunaga, and Nobunaga pretending to be Mitsuhide. This man is amazing. But besides tht, this drama has some really touching moments.
Saburo is this high school student who originally was a coward. I mean, he ran away from some girl before she could reject him. Anyways, he ended up being brought back in time to the Warring States period, and runs into Oda Nobunaga. Turns out tht Saburo is Nobunaga's doppelganger (they look identical), and Nobunaga gets Saburo to agree to act as him. I still don't understand why the original Nobunaga wanted Saburo to be him in the first place. He was tired or ruling? Idk, it's not clear, but anyways Saburo ends up pretending to be Nobunaga and everyone ends up loving him. His goal is to create a world without war. It's harder to accomplish such a goal than he thinks, and he runs into obstacles along the way. Saburo grows as a person (obviously), and it was a joy to watch. The only thing I was wondering about was what was going through the real Nobunaga's mind. I felt kinda bad for him.
The music is wonderful!! I can hear it in my head as I'm writing this review. It fills my heart, and gives the drama tht feel only jdramas can have. For the first time, I really think the music is a big part of why I love this drama so much and why I felt the way I felt when watching it. I must mentiion tht episode 2 is my favorite!! The music is featured so beautifully tht I cried!
Now as the ending was drawing near, I was racking my brain trying to figure out how it would end. If you've never read the manga like me, u had no idea. At first I was gonna write tht it was an extremely unsatisfying ending, but after it actually ended I just know there's gonna be a sequel. There has to be. I have too many questions. The ending is a head scratcher for sure.
Anyways, I think this is a good drama. Solid. Not a must-see per say, but if u like historical dramas or oguri shun I think u should watch it. I don't know much about the actual Warring States period, but this was interesting. Wouldn't watch it again (maybe for the music), but I'm anticipating the sequel (there better be one).

Falling for Innocence is a good kdrama. The best way I can put it is that it's solid. I don't have much to complain about, if anything at all. So why didn't I rate it higher? Emotional attachment/connection to the story and characters plays a big role in my ratings, and while I did immensely enjoy the characters (except the second male lead ugh) and wanted the best for them, this drama did not impact me emotionally in the slightest. I didn't get the feels. I can't walk away from this drama saying it means something to me. It is enjoyable though, I was never bored, and it's quite entertaining. I found myself laughing out loud quite a bit.
What I did walk away with from this drama is a love for Jung Kyung Ho. He is fantastic! At the beginning of the drama, his character, Kang Min Ho, is a rude, arrogant, vicious businessman in the money-lending business (I'm not sure what his exact title was) out for revenge against his uncle who stole his father's company. Turns out that Min Ho doesn't have much time to live, because he suffers from the same heart condition that killed his father. With only a 1% chance, Min Ho is lucky to get a heart transplant. But with this new heart, he has a drastic change in personality (though i don't really think it's drastic) and ends up falling in love with his donor's fiancée. It sounds so cheesy and gag-worthy, but it's really not. It's a really cute story about appreciating the life you have, redemption, and love. This drama also has a lot of really great quotes, such as "happiness may seem to pass by, but sadness passes by too."
The acting and cast was great, music was really cute (could definitely get stuck in your head), but I honestly don't ever see myself rewatching this drama. Maybe a couple scenes, but not the whole thing again. Not to say that it's a bad drama, but that emotional connection is missing for me.
My minor complaints about Falling for Innocence is the ending. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I felt it was pretty lazy, like the writers just feel like coming up with a way to explain how the leads ended up where they did. And I have no problem suspending disbelief, but if Lee Joon Hee (the antagonist) really didn't want to get caught, why didn't he get rid of the thing that got him caught. (Lol I know I'm being ambiguous but I don't want to spoil anyone). Also, the title of this drama is weak as hell. Like, I get it, but they could have chosen something much much better.
Overall, not a bad drama at all. More than decent in it's own right. I'd recommend to anyone who really loves rom-coms (like me).

This drama was also pretty funny. I'm thinking of one scene in particular and i can't stop cackling. I just know this is gonna be one of those dramas I think of at random moments and bust out laughing and no one will get it. The first episode was really boring to me. I was almost gonna drop it cuz I thought it was gonna be extremely stupid, but I'm glad I didn't. Of course there are some things that really annoyed me, but all in all I'd recommend. It's just not a must-see, but I think it's worthy of you watching it.

This drama focuses on a woman named Kim Hye Jin who used to be beautiful when she was younger, but grew up to be ugly. I really loved the fact tht Hye Jin had a beautiful personality even when she was younger and more beautiful. She's just a good person, and remains tht way throughout the drama. When she was younger, she befriended this fat ugly kid named Seong Jun who was her neighbor, and he ended up becoming her first love. This is where my first issue/complaint comes into play. Well, it's not so much as an issue/complaint, I don't know wat to really call it, my distaste of the 'romance' between the younger versions of Hye Jin and Seong Jun. I just didn't buy it. Idk, I just thought the whole pretense for their initial friendship/romance was pretty lame. But w/e, Hye Jin was a sweetie pie throughout the whole thing. As time passes, Hye Jin and Seong Jun lose touch with each other. The last time Seong Jun saw Hye Jin was when she was pretty. So when Seong Jun finally gets in touch with Hye Jin and wants to meet up, Hye Jin is nervous about what he'll think of her because he doesn't know tht she's ugly now. So she gets her best friend, Min Ha Ri (who i love), to pretend to be her to meet him. Ands thts basically the premise. The story focuses on friendships, inner-struggles, and workplace drama. It's really fun!
But the romantic chemistry between the characters/actors is really lacking. Especially between Seong Jun and Ha Ri, uggghhh those scenes were the most boring of the whole drama. Hye Jin and Kim Shin Hyeok (the second male lead) had zero romantic chemistry, and I was annoyed tht the drama chose to make Shin Hyeok like Hye Jin in the first place. They had excellent friendship chemistry, but no to the romance. And lastly, the chemistry between adult versions of Hye Jin and Seong Jun was non-existent. I mean, their scenes didn't make me cringe or anything like tht, but i didn't really care about they're romance in the scheme of things. The friendships were the best in this drama, and everyone did have chemistry with each other, just not romantic chemistry.
All in all, this was a really fun drama to watch (and it's ttly marathon-worthy)! You'll have several laughs, and some of the moments throughout are genuinely sweet. Do I think it's a must-see? No. But its a good rom-com and it's not a bad watch. I liked it, maybe u will too!

Things I liked: Matsuda Shota, Nao got smarter, Fukunaga,
Things I didn't like: making Nao out to seem like some kind of savior, Nao's stupid smile after she's "saved" her rivals, the false notion that this drama is smart when it's actually not, the stupid cop with the gold tooth.
Did I say how much I liked Matsuda Shota? I LOVED him okay! Honestly, he makes the whole drama for me. Plot is pretty much same. Not much different, except I will say I like the three games at the beginning more than the games in the first drama. Not much to say, but I wanted to leave a review since I just finished it a couple days ago. Doesn't wrap up at the end, u'd have to watch the movie for that. Again, wouldn't recommend if ur looking for something smart, but if u saw the first one, I'd say go ahead and watch this one. Didn't disappoint me.

Don't get me wrong, I love Aibu Saki. Her and Nagase Tomoya have decent enough chemistry. But I absolutely hate her character, Suzu. I was rooting against her the whole time. Oh my goodness, I have sooo much to say in regards to this drama, and I'm afraid I'm going to end up spoiling some aspects, but I'll try my best not to.
Ok, so Nagase plays a character who was found drifting ashore, unconscious, by a kiddie Suzu. Suzu couldn't have been more than 8 at that point in time (she was actually 9 or 10 but w/e). Anyways, Nagase's character is taken in by Suzu's family, and it turns out that he lost all his memory from before the war (he was in a soldier's uniform when he was found). Btw, they named him Taro. Anyways, hop 10 years later, and Taro hasn't aged a day, but Suzu is now a grown woman (rolls eyes), and she's in love with Taro. This is suppose to be a love story of a woman who loved a man after he lost his memory from the war. I was completely mistaken on what this drama would be about. I thought the woman would have previously known the man from before the war, and still love him even after he lost his memory. No such luck. Suzu is an extremely selfish and manipulative character (even if she doesn't realize it, and I can't even roll my eyes enough), but it's played out as if she's some sweet lovable character who should get what she wants. As you can tell, she is my least favorite character, I dislike her greatly, but all the people in the town Taro wound up in are just as selfish and manipulative. The reason I say that is because these people not only don't want Taro to ever remember his past, but they hinder him from doing so as well! Every time it seems like Taro remembers something, these people get a lonesome look on their faces and make the whole ordeal about them and how they're gonna feel if Taro ends up leaving and we're suppose to feel sorry for them. Not me, buddy. I don't feel sorry for them one bit. And the way the drama makes it seem like we should be rooting for Suzu and the rest of the townsfolk just enrages me!
Another thing: the whole town wants Taro to be with Suzu (because Suzu just loves Taro oh so much). I cannot even throw up enough to show my disgust with this whole concept. It's not because Suzu is sooo much younger than Taro why I have a problem with them (I think Taro was about 20 when they found him), it's because he was a grown ass man living with this little girl for over 10 years, she practically grew up with him, and I find issue with this because she is basically his little sister. How could he possible see her as anything more?! Gross gross gross. And then the fact that Suzu's parents are okay with that just astounds me!! I lost major respect for the parents, because not only do they want Taro with Suzu, they keep trying to force his freaking feelings. Everyone in the town is! And this is how they are all manipulative scum, playing off the fact that this poor man doesn't remember who he was in the past. They never considered if he previously had a family and they don't care about his past responsibilities, all they do is care about themselves. I don't care what anyone tries to tell me, Taro never romantically loved Suzu. Maybe he ended up thinking he did, but I know in my heart of hearts he was manipulated.
So, all this stuff I just talked about was actually a movie a character named Akira was watching. His mother made him. The ending to this drama saved me from giving it a much much lower rating. My expectations were much too high entering this drama. Lower your expectations drastically, and maybe u'll be ok if ur planning on watching this. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. Yeah, it invoked a lot of emotion from me, but it was all negative.

What a disappointment smh
Huge, major, EPIC DISAPPOINTMENT!Started off sooo good and had major potential. What I really liked about this drama (at first), and what made it different than other romcom kdramas was that the main couple didn’t “get together” quickly. It happened in like ep 12 (or something like that). Usually by ep 8 the main couple will have kissed or acknowledged feelings or something, but it wasn’t the case here. I wasn’t frustrated as one might think. I became frustrated because main couple became toxic and I was no longer rooting for them. Also, character development was just thrown out the window. Characters’ actions didn’t match up with previous behavior patterns. AND there was no real conclusion. I’m very very very disappointed with this one, because it really could have been better smh.
The acting and actors didn’t bother me so much, pretty decent. I just didn’t care for the gf of the male lead’s brother.
Music was actually pretty good, it matched the feel of the drama and complemented the emotions one would feel.
I’LL NEVER REWATCH THIS DRAMA!
I really should have rated this drama a 6, but I gave it a 7. I wouldn’t recommend, no definitely not.
