Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist Season 2 is a nice sequel to Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist that deals more with Poong’s ability to bring healing by treating patient’s emotional wounds, his journey dealing with scheming characters until he’s able to clear his name, and his beautiful rendition of a man that remains steadfast to his friends and his love one. Kim Min Jae's acting is again flawless and makes up for the lack of romantic chemistry from Kim Hyang Gi as Seo Eun Woo. Although she was always there to help him and truly cared for him, and despite the fact that they had some nice tender interactions and one heartwarming kiss, for most of their romantic scenes, she was not showing much emotions but her surprised or cold demeanor for a character that truly shined when she was smiling. The rest of the cast was as fantastic as Season 1 as a united front and delivering very good comedic scenes. The antagonists on this season were a bit too farcical and somewhat disrupted the flow of the plot making it a bit choppy but still not bad enough to damage the drama. The second season has its luster but it needed one or two more episodes to show more about the other great characters in the clinic; also, although the drama ended happily with the leading couple getting married, there are no romantic vibes but plain and simple comedy and, (SPOILER ALERT), one super unnecessary character’s death at the end.

Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist is a very good historical medical drama with an excellent character delivery from the fantastic cast. The drama is about “Poong” (Yoo Se Poong / Yoo Se Yeop) stellarly played by Kim Min Jae as he meets Seo Eun Woo and joins a village clinic ran by the most hilarious, heartwarming, and very often mischievous individuals that bring about most of the comedy to shape the lighthearted tone of the drama. The acting on this drama is almost flawless by most of the cast but especially by Kim Min Jae (Poong) and Kim Sang Kyung (Kye Ji Han). Sadly, the female lead role, Kim Hyang Gi as Seo Eun Woo who did great as the despondent widow shunned by society and slowly but surely contributing to solve the conflicting cases presented in the drama, spent too much time with a stone face demeanor that downplayed her caring and tender nature. Although there is a romantic banter between Poong and Eun Woo, that storyline is left for the second season. The drama is very entertaining and the acting is top notch. Enjoy it!

This is a convoluted story of the path of a fairy to become human, the men who took advantage of her naïve nature, and the man who love her steadfastly until the end. Great premises but the amnesia twist after every rebirth made the female lead unbearable until almost the end. One thing is to be naïve but childish and dumb is another story. The female lead is surrounded by guys that never truly loved her; they were deceitful, self serving, and ended up betraying her trust as she seeks for a lifetime partner. The male lead really saved the drama; he was smart divine doctor, who continuously loved and tried to protect the female lead. Although there are dark characters with darker intentions toward the female lead, the drama is mainly about the female lead and her path to become human and find true love. The leading couple has good fun chemistry and average romantic chemistry due to her childish nature; even when she was taking the lead in the romantic scenes, it was more cute than romantic since many of their kisses were shown as just lips touching and fading in the distance. The drama got better when the leading couple got finally together just to throw another short amnesia twist at the end that, although it was quickly resolved, it caused a rift in the romantic flow. Overall, this is not a bad drama but it fell short of my expectations.

This drama follows the isekai plot of portal fantasy and science fiction having real people been transported into a video game set within a historical period. This drama might be more attractive to younger viewers or those interested in video game features within a drama like changing into alternate endings depending on the outcome of some game choices (when the female lead sees that her choice lead to someone dying, she re-sets the game to get an alternate outcome) and so on. This is not a drama with a serious plot since the female lead is just trying to get out of this virtual world and she “plays” around with 4 male characters to achieve her most favorable scores to end the game. The male lead, an NCP on this game, is highly misunderstood by the female lead because he lacks score points and she assumes that he doesn’t love her. Due to the nature of how these real life characters make it into the game, the story gets complicated sometimes and basically ridiculous at other moments. The ending is quite insipid because, even if it is a happy ending, deciding to live happy moments in virtual reality instead of real life, is quite absurd; most likely to please game players with a wishful thinking that they could live life by resetting outcomes and changing the consequences as they see fit. The leading couple has a nice and fun chemistry but their romantic scenes lack zest. Still, it is a nice watch for a video game generation and viewers looking into something cute and sometimes funny.

This is a really nice and cute romantic comedy set within an art university life starting with the protagonists first year and ending with their graduation. Although the drama is about Yuan Qian and Qin Shen being single since childhood and how they slowly fall in love, the plot also includes the lives and struggles of other students as well. The male lead, Qin Shen (played by Aaron Deng) falls first for the female lead Yuan Qian (played by Ireine Song), but keeps his feelings to himself until he notices that there’s another guy interested in her and his not about to lose her. The female lead also falls for Qin Shen but, because of her demure character, which lasts for almost the entire drama, it takes some time to respond to Qin Shen’s feelings. Although the leading couple has good fun and playful chemistry, their romantic scenes are not that good; there’s something amiss, especially from Ireine Song, which makes it difficult to believe that she’s deeply in love although one can tell that she likes only Qin Shen as her romantic interest. Even though the drama could’ve shown a more in depth relationship and character development for the leading couple and the supporting cast, the drama is lighthearted and entertaining. Enjoy it!

This drama is a nice romantic comedy within a dark melodramatic plot that comes from the leads been part of influential rival families. The story moves fast between all the twists and relationships but some characters turned to be provisional antagonist that really didn’t go well with their original characterization. Although the leading couple has many cute moments and intimate scenes (kissing), their chemistry was not on par with their romantic scenes; something was amiss with their body language, especially with Zhao Lu Si as Gu An Xin, who did very well on her cute scenes and became somewhat an annoyance when using her child like voice. Expectations of a great romance chemistry which she has shown in the past (i.e. Dating in the Kitchen, Love Better than Immortality) were thrown out of the window for more cute moments. [Maybe it was also Liu Te as Ling Yue / Xiao Ba that was a bit stoned face throughout the drama and didn’t show the intensity of his emotion through his body language, or it could’ve been the production itself ; not sure, but their chemistry was on and off throughout the drama]. Although some of the resolutions were okay, the antagonists didn’t get what they really deserved and Gu An Xin did not get closure from her biological father due to a wrongly used Alzheimer twist in the storyline which was totally ridiculous!] Overall, the drama is entertaining and a good watch while waiting for a great one to come!

This is a good slice of life drama with a light fun plot. Although there is character growth, especially for Ye Shi Lan (played by Liang Jie), her character was insufferable in her lack of understanding of her own feelings for most of the drama. At age 28, not knowing when you are in love or, at least feel attracted to someone, when she had been in a relationship before, is simply unrealistic. Lu Zhao Xi (played by Joseph Zeng) was also too restrained about his feelings for Ye Shi Lan and, although he seemed to understand Shi Lan lack romantic knowledge, his constant teasing became tiribg since, most of the time, it lead to nowhere. Even though, once they started the romantic relationship their interactions got better, there are no great sparks coming out of either one of them; their romance was cute and they grew to love and better understand each other. There is no great force of nature feeling in this drama but there are many good feel moments. The drama ends well but the ending was more appropriate for a youth drama; it was too playful and lacked romantic vigor for a pair of adults that are finally openly together. It does make you smile, though!

This is a fun drama to watch for viewers that are looking for a leading couple with great romantic chemistry. The drama offers romance, mystery, intrigue, and some good action scenes with a dose of some exaggerated humor coming mainly from the characters Rao Mei Na and Fang Xiang that was really unnecessary, these two characters had so much more to offer than just that. Although there are ridiculous twists on the story, the drama is interesting enough to keep the viewer watching until the end. Although the ending is a happy one, it felt a bit rushed in order to get a kind of complete resolution to the revenge/finding justice plot. Still, the leading couple carried the plot with a steadfast love and great romantic scenes. Enjoy it!

The movie is a sequel that could've been added to the drama's ending and the viewer would not waste 1 hour and 15 minutes to get a fairytale ending. Although the movie provides an explanation as how the leading male recovered, it has a comical atmosphere and lacks a loving mood. The movie also brings back some of the cast from the drama but there is no real plot that can be considered a continuation for these characters. The most bizarre character is Xiao Qing Ting [Little dragonfly] which is obviously Luo Han Tong from the drama and there's no explanation as how he made it back to life after his gruesome death in the drama. Overall, just watch the last eight minutes of the movie to get your happily ever after ending!

This is a nice costume period drama. Although the leading lady’s character (played by Huang Ri Ying) can be tiresome at times, her redeeming qualities of been honest, fun, and lovable makes up for some ridiculous decisions that she makes. The leading man’s character is well played by Luo Zheng showing a strong and steadfast love for A Fan. The drama is full of clichés and some will really make the drama a little bit tiresome to watch. When the leading couple is together, they show great playful and romantic chemistry. Even though the drama starts in a lighter tone, there are instances of antagonism and nonsense that seemed unnecessary. Still, the drama is entertaining. Enjoy it!

This is a nice miniseries with good acting, especially from the leading couple but the series needed more episodes for plot and character development. Although the story is a romantic drama, it also has bits of comedy and suspense. The leading couple has good chemistry and the leading lady did a great job performing two characters (twin sisters) with two different and distinct personalities. The plot was delivered in a simple way but the storyline could’ve use longer episodes to flesh out the characters. Although the drama is not perfect, it is entertaining. Enjoy it!

This is a nice romance drama with a heartwarming story of love from different aspects (familial, friendship, and personal relationships). The drama is not perfect but the actors did well delivering their characters. The leading couple’s relationship is sweet and lovely but slow burned and the second lead couple had a more intimate and mature romantic storyline. Although the drama brings about some conflicts that antagonize the relationships (PTSD, vindictive ex-boyfriend, infatuated coworker), it feels like these issues are not examined or explained in depth. Even so, the drama will delight the palate and warm the heart. Enjoy it!

A Familiar Stranger is a great miniseries fantasy romance drama with a touch of comedy and mystery nicely intertwined with a perfect amount of each one of the genres that it covered. Ryan Cheng (as Xiao Han Sheng) and Kay Son (as Shen Quin) did a fantastic job delivering their characters and have great chemistry. The supporting cast and the secondary main couple did a great job also. Ke Ying (as Shi Qi) and Wang Ze Xuan (as Prince Ning) did very well portraying psychotic characters that, due to past traumas, have lost some connection with reality, providing the path to the antagonist characters in the story. This is a well done and delivered short drama that is really entertaining. Enjoy it!

The Romance of Hua Rong is a romantic comedy wuxia. The drama has good cinematography, nice costumes, and action scenes. The leading couple has good romantic chemistry once the leading lady understands the male lead and accepts that she has fallen in love with him. The drama has a happy ending and the sequel aired on May 2022. The drama has a satisfying plot with strong similarity to a slapstick comedy. The leading lady, for most of the drama, is insufferable, impulsive, and insecure about the leading male’s true and steadfast feelings for here. Although the leading male sometimes acts immaturely and constantly tricks the leading lady, there is nothing that he will not do for her and is continuously trying to understand, protect, and demonstrate his love for her.
