I loved all the aspects of this drama from the actors, to the script, fashion all the way to the OST! I must say that this drama was polished very well that you'd be engaged into every episode not just because of the plot/storyline but because you look forward to the chemistry of the cast and what they wear in each episode.

This is the best drama i have watched by far this 2018. I highly recommend for you guys to watch this drama, but i also warn you that this is not for everyone as this tackles more of a mature love. Like finding and getting to meet your other half that could complete and compliment all your flaws. that is also the reason why i rated it only a 9.5 despite being the best for me.

Talking about the plot, i love how this drama started as cute, and just completely corny cheesy, and funny but it starts to get serious and picks up itself in the middle of the series without completely letting go of that romantic comedy drama vibe. I am just amazed as to how the writers were able to make this drama come up as something sweet and heartwarming and not overly comedic unlike some dramas that came out this year. The plot and the main topic of this drama was just so beautiful. Portraying love beyond the sweet and romantic kind of love we know but it is rather loving someone for themselves and their personalities and traits. Finding that love, like one has been searching for his/her other half and finally feeling complete and alive after meeting that person.

As for the acting & cast.. i can only say wow! I love how they casted actors that are around the same age. I think this is the reason why they were able to create the fun, easy, and friendly environment around the set and also it allowed greater chemistry among them. Lee Da Hee looks so pretty here! She perfectly matches the role of Do Jae's sister and clearly she slays the rich heir to the company role with her pretty face and slightly cold looks. I have to also say, I love the Seo Hyun Jin & Lee Min Ki pairing, their kissing scenes are the best! This couple can make even the sweetest subtle scenes look so heart thumping and give you all the feels! Another bonus is that they are cute and sweet on and off set! The way Lee Min Ki looks at Seo Hyun Jin even off cam is just so sweet that i am secretly hoping they are actually a couple. ^^

Overall, I have to give props to JTBC and the whole cast and crew of The Beauty Inside for making such a great drama. I hope other dramas would step up their game and produce wonderful results such as this one as well!! and I will definitely look forward to more Seo Hyun Jin & Lee Min Ki collaborating in the future!!

I'm glad I have come across this underrated gem!

I didn't watch the Japanese version, but I felt that this drama with its storyline alone was good enough. The plot was spot on, it didn't go too makjang overly dramatic, nor too bland and therefore Love Affairs in the Afternoon was just the way I liked it! The little sweet/ romantic moments thrown into this drama made it even more worth the watch!

The first episode alone was very precise with the introduction of characters of Son Jieun as a quiet and average woman who felt trapped and lonely with her routinary life, and Choi Soo-ah a woman who never felt love but is constantly seeking for it through meeting other men. The cinematography, setting, and even the OST's used also added to why this drama is worth the watch. It helped give us a vivid view of the mood and theme of the drama which is light and romantic however sad.

In addition, what drew me in the most with this drama is the bittersweet storyline of the lead characters.
Jungwoo and Ji Eun were both quiet and seemingly honest characters. They knew being in an affair is not the right thing to do, especially Ji Eun so she tried her best to avoid him but when they are with each other, it seems like their world has fallen into place. Together they were able to express themselves better, were happy, and was able to experience that heart shattering love that they couldn't with their partners. Jung Woo and Ji Eun, because they were too kind to others to be selfish they got married to their other halves too hastly, leading to their pitful lives. So if you like star-crossed lovers type of drama this one might also be for you!

I also love the chemistry and acting of Park Ha Sun and Lee Sang Yeob here! Whoever casting director you are, you deserve a raise. They seem to both fit the introvert type of role, they were able to deliver their characters well, and both are hella good looking! They make a good couple. ^^

Overall, Love Affairs in the Afternoon was worth the watch! The love shown in this drama was so romantic it made me wish I could find a sweet and nice guy like Jungwoo. It also made my big fat crush on Lee Sangyeob even fatter. T_T It was a good deviation from all the murder-mystery Korean dramas that are being released nowadays. The good conclusion or ending is an even added bonus!

I didn't really expect anything much from this movie, so it wasn't that bad for me. I understand why others do not like this kind of movie though. It is not everyone's cup of tea. The plot was a very Japanese cute rom-com style like Heroine Disqualified and many more others, so I kind of liked this!

Just like any other anime movie adaptations, I'd say this one did not disappoint! The plot line was not rushed, and the story clearly showed where it was headed to, so it wasn't confusing and was easy to watch that even if you haven't read the manga, you could easily follow through the plot line.

Overall, I had fun watching this movie. The actors did well in their roles, the acting was not cringey, and they were good looking too! The leads had great chemistry! and most importantly this movie had a good moral lesson.

I am a hardcore kpop and former anime fan, so I kind of relate to the movie where sometimes even though we have, and love our world of fandoms, we have to step out of this zone, interact with real people and live the reality, because this is how we expose ourselves, form friendships, and meet new people. Long lasting friendships are not only formed based on similar interests but through interaction.

This movie is all sorts of cute, sweet, and romantic. It was neither draggy nor boring. I love how direct to the point this story brought its viewers. Simple yet heart-warming. It had a good mixture of sadness, and happiness. Most of all it had a happy ending! I definitely recommend this to people who are looking for a light fluff movie!

The actors are great, there were only few characters involved but acting wise, it was very well executed. I especially liked Iitoyo Marie's acting here.

For those who liked manga based school-romance drama this one will be perfect for you! Will definitely re-watch this again!

Leia Mais

Considering that this is a movie adaptation from a manga, I already expected that the story line would go by fast! Also, I have read the manga but i find that the scenes are not really similar to the manga, but nonetheless I enjoyed it. Even better than the manga in my opinion!

The only thing missing for me in this movie was the story development. The plot was cute and even funny at times! I just hope they had shown how the feelings of the characters grew more for each other. It would have made it even better.

The actors have so-so acting skills, but i liked how their acting wasn't too exaggerated like some other manga adaptations.

Overall, I don't think it was a bad movie like a lot of people has been saying. It is a light shoujo, rom-com with a little twist! Don't expect too much from it guys. Just take this movie with a grain of salt, and you'll have something in this movie that you'd at least like and smile about. I advise you guys to watch this when you want something fluff or light.

Finally a light and fluffy k-drama is here to rescue my longing heart!
It has been awhile since drama world has provided us something light, cheesy, and comedic and this drama was just the perfect answer to that. I like how the drama although the plot was already as predictably cheesy and typical as possible it managed to still be entertaining, and make you want more of it! Honestly, 12 episodes of this drama was not even enough or me.

The plot/storyline is simple, but it was played and written just perfectly for a short drama, maybe that is also the reason why the conflict and also the ending felt a little rushed.

The characters were just funny especially the female lead's aunties, and of course the romance of the leads was just wonderful. Great chemistry. I like how they chose underrated actors to play the leads for this drama. They pulled it off very well without looking awkward. Hyun woo's acting was kind of weird at first because he was probably getting into the arrogant, rich, and wounded character of the lead guy but then it improved a lot in the middle of the drama. and you'll love him guys I swear. He's cute.

So all in all, I would definitely recommend this drama to all rom-com lovers. If you are looking for a cheesy short drama to watch, please do give this a try. ^^

In my opinion, this drama is not as bad as many are saying. Maybe it is just not for everyone, but I really did enjoy it.

This drama talks about the injustices that are happening to employees in the corporate world, and how people should stand up and raise their voices in order to fix things for the better. I think the reason why people did not appreciate this drama much was because the topic is more relatable for the Korean viewers and their work culture. I appreciate that it has such a refreshing and light plot, enough for me to continue and enjoy the drama.
Although the lack for romance and the twisted friendship and relationships of the characters was not really drawn clearly, it the drama was witty and funny enough to polish off the uncleared and unsaid relationships.

Acting wise too, I think that they were able to cast such amazing actors, that they were able to pull off such a difficult drama. The issues brought about this drama were really heavy and yet the actors managed to act it out as something serious while still being funny at the same time.

As for the music I think it really helped a lot that the song was cute and funny, this i think also helped bring out the comedy more in this drama.

If you liked dramas that are just light and funny like Shopping King Louie, i think you should give this drama a try too. :)

The episodes of this drama are short but is enough to give you a sweet tooth! It talks about relationships of love and friendship among ordinary people, which I think is nice because most people could relate to it especially ordinary Koreans.
I also liked that they chose new and unknown korean actors for this web series, because it really presented well the setting and the image they wanted to portray which is an ordinary workplace. It wouldn't have been very convincing if they were to put famous actors or idols in it.
If you are bored and just want a cute drama to pass by time i suggest you give this a try, 35 minutes and you are done with the whole series, and would leave you smiling.

I'd be lying if I said i didn't put this drama on hold after episode 8.

The story was able to live up to its cute rom-com theme but something about it being too bland or simple bored me and made me put this on hold. It probably was the many irrelevant side characters, or maybe that really slow progress in the leads relationship that annoyed me? I don't really know. I recently just picked up this drama again because I had nothing to watch and ended up being hooked to its cute story again! and guess what? I even cried at the last few episodes because the ending was beautiful! Despite some badly written scenes like that of Dong Hyun (staff of cleaning fairy) and of other side character's, everything was wrapped up and resolved very well in the end! Clean With Passion For Now gave me a number of roller coaster feels.

The drama had a handful of sweet and fluttering moments and the cinematography for those scenes were really nice. What's even better is that there was no complicated evil mother, or stuck up heiress girl to complicate the story and add more drama. The second guy was very cool too and not obsessive possessive like other dramas I know!
But what I really like most in this drama was the lead guy's personality not being arrogant. He has good character being innocent, kind, hard working, earnest, and persistent. The lead guy having mysophobia, his struggle, development from this illness, and his funny antics was just the cherry on top and did a lot to make this drama 10x more interesting!

I really like Yoon Gyun Sang's refreshing acting in this drama and I must say that he did really well portraying his character and was a great romantic lead! Kim Yoo Jung also did well in her role acting wise, and she had good chemistry with Yoon Gyun Sang. However, I must say she isn't ready for a mature role yet. Every time she acts mature I still see her as a teenager and couldn't really take her seriously, so yes the age gap every time they kissed somehow bothered me in a way. I squeal seeing Yoon Gyun Sang kiss so greatly and then in a while I see Kim Yoo Jung I get alarmed that it looks wrong in some way. ><

Finally, I must say, I do not regret putting this drama on hold and picking it up again, because if I forced myself to finish this, I wouldn't have appreciated it the way I did now. I guess this drama is good if you're in the mood to watch something simple, light, and sweet with good actors and great acting. Therefore my overall rating for Clean With Passion For Now is 8/10!

Leia Mais

The cast will most likely be the first and main reason why one would watch this web drama, lotte was able to cast a-list actors into one drama, and watching it made me squeal like crazy a lot of times in just a span on 10 minutes.

The songs by Melody Day and Ji Chang Wook were also good along with the background.

However, I must say that I would most likely not watch this again after watching it once because the plot is almost non-existent, the only thing attractive is that the lead actress fangirls over the boys the way we do her reaction was the most entertaining and of course do not forget the HOT AND HANDSOME MEN waiting for you.

Leia Mais

I didn't watch this show when it was airing because I was afraid it was overrated and wouldn't meet my expectations and I'm glad i gave it a try because this drama just proved me wrong!

If I were to describe Vagabond now, I'd say it is a well packaged action drama. From casts, acting, directing, and even production, everything and everyone has been top notch! Watching only the first episode, you'd already get the gist of how high the quality and budget for this drama must be. The action scenes , and the many plot twists in this drama were intense and enough to make you want more of it. Aside from the action scenes, there are some comedy, romance, and politics mixed into the show too, which i think makes the show more interesting.

The unique characters for this drama is another thing to look forward to from this show. I loved how the way the show slowly revealed the true personalities and intention of the characters. It definitely made everything more intense. Also the chemistry of the characters were just amazing. Watching Shin Sung Rok as a skilled and righteous NIS agent was just so endearing. I was sad he wasn't given much focus on the story but still loved his character! The main reason why I watched it was because of him. Watching him shoot away with a gun, he is just perfect for the role! <3

Seung Gi's chemistry with Suzy was great too, but I liked how aside from the few cute moments for the leads, the scriptwriter didn't add any more than what is shown, because it could have been seen unnecessary and forced.

Overall, Vagabond was an entertaining and refreshing drama to watch. It kept me on my seat tense, curious, and furious with every episode. The only problems I have with this show are: the information overload I got with the many characters introduced to us, the cliffhanger at the end, and they way they ended the show without taking down the real bad guy, nor a closure for the side characters.

Short, simple, and cute office drama that you can watch when you have ran out of anything else to watch.

The actors delivered well with their roles, the characters were relatable, funny, and enjoyable. The plot being a gaming company on the verge of bankruptcy being the center of the story and how they the characters will save it was fresh and interesting too. The drama might have a lot of flaws and lacked at many areas but it was definitely decent and watchable. Its was fresh and entertaining, that it was a very light and easy watch for me.

My only problem with Level Up is the lack of romantic scenes with the leads. The guy never really confessed his feelings properly and there was never a scenario where their feelings developed and the both fell in love with each other.. it felt forced and awkward instead. Even for the second couple in the drama, the romance was just not there.

I guess this drama is more of an office slice of life one than a romcom. Its not as memorable and outstanding as all the big kdramas out there but nonetheless, it was good.

Leia Mais

This drama will entertain you if you are bored as the plot line is just very light. It has a refreshing and funny take on the modern day issues in Korea. Mostly about school, family and work life. Please do give it a try. Two episodes will be enough to make you curious and want more. i'm sure it will not disappoint you.

As for the rewatch value, I got hooked over this show because of ikhee the family's daughter and her love life, but after watching further i also enjoyed her simple but very loving family.

I'm not sure if i'm going to rewatch it anytime soon, its not my fave drama, and i usually do not rewatch dramas that are long, but who knows, if i missed this i might that is why i gave it a rate of 7/10.

Overall, i'm glad that i gave this drama a chance! it was so underrated, it has a good plot and even great actors in it for a family sitcom. 8/10 for me!

A must watch for those who love sad and heartwarming dramas!

A Piece of Your Mind was sweet, warm, and healing and I liked the pacing until tvn decided to cut off four episodes which kind of messed up the last two to be honest.

For the plot, I like how watching the first episode is enough to give you a hint on the overall vibe of this drama without pretense. You'll already know whether this show is your thing or not. The show does not try to sugarcoat itself for popularity views but rather tell you how this drama is slow paced, warm, and beautiful. The story began with Ha Won's device not working because it was looking for its point of reaction, which I think has two meanings behind it (for the device, and for himself) and then suddenly two complete strangers met. Ha Won walked into a room after following the music he heard from outside a building, and met a complete stranger who is about to pack her things. Then slowly from there, their world has become interconnected, and they discover more about each other, about the pain and sadness of the other, become each other's comfort and healing. While accompanying each other, a slow blossoming, sweet, spring-like love has formed.

What made me really stick to this drama were the actors. I am a huge fan of both Chae Soo Bin and Jung Hae In so i really looked forward to this and they didn't disappoint! They were both cute and innocent looking and their chemistry was just fantastic! Plus they were able to deliver the emotions very well! The show talked about coping loneliness, depression, regret, loss, and love, and although I couldn't really relate to those matters I was able to feel it while looking at the actors deliver their lines. I hope that they could act together in another drama someday.

Another good thing about this drama was the cinematography! The angles, scenery, color, temperature were just perfect! This definitely covered up the simplicity of the plot and setting and made it extra special. The OST was able to help give us a vibe and feel of the whole plot and setting too! It gave us the overall healing and warm spring vibe which i love!

The show was definitely flawed, and we can all see that with the limited setting, the unelaborated job of our ML, the sometimes horrible outfit, and the rushed ending and closure for all the four main characters, but despite that, it was still the beautiful budding romance, cinematography, and soundtrack made up for it. How i wish we could get those four episodes back!

The drama picked up from where it left off from season 1 and started solving all the questions and mysteries we have been asking for, but at the same time leaving us room to discover more as the show progresses, which made the show more entertaining.

Plot wise, I liked how this was not only a zombie drama, but also teaches us the nature of people, of greed and selfishness. It also tackled politics and struggle for power, and the sacrifice for the love of ones country.

Character wise, I liked was how the characters here are not dumb or slow in putting this together unlike some of the historical dramas I have watched. Everyone is quick in terms of making their moves, calculating and analyzing, which kind of made this drama entertaining and fast-paced. I also appreciated it very much that the writer gave each and every character a justifiable ending before they die. All those good, indifferent and bad characters from this drama truly deserved whatever happened to them that I know I can sleep happily after watching the show! Thanks writer-nim!

Meanwhile, acting wise, Joo Ji Hoon, Bae Doo Na, Ryu Seung Ryeong and the rest of the cast did a wonderful job in portraying their characters! Joo Ji Hoon's expressions were on point! Even if this was a zombie drama he never failed to make me swoon with his serious and smart character. He is indeed the perfect prince for the role!

In my opinion, Kingdom season 2 was nicely wrapped up even if some may think that it was a cliff hanger. The main story from season 1 and 2 has already finished, it is just that there are still some little details left for us to solve, and this would be what we can look forward to for season 3. Its the same characters but new story, new zombies, and different adventure awaits!
