Miseuteo Shunshain (2018)
One of the best war movies
I love watching war movies and I've watched so many that I've lost count. This is by far one of the best! It's more of a Historical Drama, but it really gives the audience key points to what Korea was dealing with leading up to the Japanese occupation.
What a lesson of what to beware of when other countries offer their "help"! I think History professors worldwide would be wise to recommend this series to their students.
We could learn a lot from South Korea.
They're one of the only countries to follow The Law of War.
The actors are excellent.
The story is excellent.
The action scenes are excellent.
All of the characters are excellent, including all minor roles; even those played by young children.
Mi-syeon pa-seo-beul (2021)
Entertaining Action Film
This is a well balanced action movie, with humor, great acting, and highly interesting/ well choreographed fighting scenes.
The story line has some fun twists and turns, a few surprises, and plenty of chuckles.
Kim Young-Kwang is perfect for this role! His facial expressions alone could carry his acting...full of a myriad of circumstances. T. Cruise could learn a lot from him. His best role yet!
Lee Sun-bin carries her own action with beauty and finesse. The secondary characters just add to the story in the way they are supposed to, supportive but not overbearing.
One of my favorite films!
I Need Romance 2012 (2012)
Adorably Attractive
This show is refreshing for a Romcom. It actually shows some sweet realism for this genre, without the intense family or business interference often found in KDramas. The conflicts are within each character and their development is so enjoyable to see.
The main actress expressed her adorable character so well, she was as fun to watch as the male lead, Lee Jin-wook, who was also adorable in this role. His acting is excellent, of course, and as a bonus, he's easy on the eyes. I actually think it's one of his best roles, showing a range of emotions.
All of the secondary characters are enjoyable to watch and the friendships feel genuine. You will not be bored while watching this series. It's fun to binge and re-watch immediately.

The most wholesome love story about humanity
This show is so heartwarming! The main character is so kind and loving with mental fortitude beyond his years. Great job, Seong-wu Ong!
Many of the supporting characters are also kind and strong. Especially their teacher, played by Kang Ki-young; I think this was a perfect role for him. He gives a monologue in episode 13 that our world needs to hear.
Kim Do-wan played a fun role to balance some of the real world pains found in any good drama.
Most of the teen girls' roles are complimentary.
This serial will give you hope.
It's a precious gem!
Another reminder that we can learn a lot about humanity from South Korea. 💗

Heartwarming Relationships
This is the best Korean Drama I've seen, and there's a lot of great ones out there! The main characters are lovely inside and out. They deal with conflicts in a very mature manner, which only increases the warmth of the story.
All of the relationships are interesting. The family dynamics and friendships are beautifully complex and often comforting.
I highly recommend this show!
