Short reviews of kdramas I've watched - part 4

Image
 Business proposal Very popular series this year. Classic kdrama trope but made hilarious thanks to the lead characters. The second lead pair is also cute, especially the 2ML. The 1ML looks like a junior version of Park Seo-joon tbh, and his kdrama obsessed grandpa is hilarious too. S2 is coming thanks to how much it appealed to the public. School 2017 One of the very cute Kdramas I've watched. Unlike other series which had high school romance, this one was neat. Yes there are the usual elements of rivalry, frenemies, rich boy, poor girl, but still it was engaging and entertaining. Give it a watch if you want to see Business Proposal lead during her younger days, loved her in both.  Reply 1988 This series deserves a separate blog but since I did not note down the finer points I am writing a very short review here. It was boring at first, 3 episodes later, you are thoroughly enjoying each and every aspect of the series. Took me back to my childhood tbh. Hye-ri, I loved her thro...

Reborn Rich - Best Series of 2022 - Must Watch - Review!

Image
Hands down this is 2022's best series, in fact, Reborn Rich will be on the top 10 list of best Kdrama ever. I began watching "Youngest son of the conglomerate" aka Reborn rich after reading a few chapters of the web novel it is originally based on. I noticed that the web novel didn't delve too deep into details. The writer of the series has done a very neat job with the narration and character building and has made it very captivating till the end. This is probably the second rebirth-themed series I am watching in 2022 after Again My Life. Yes, Goblin also had a rebirth theme but not exactly like this. Slick series, multilayered characters surrounding the theme of corruption, revenge, and power politics within a conglomerate. The main lead fits the character to the T. Mind-blowing script, awesome characterisation, amazing actors, screenplay, and direction is top notch. Trust me, you can watch this one over and over again. The audience is left guessing until the end, e...

Eve - To Watch or Not To Watch - Review

Image
I watched Eve after I saw Seo hye in Lawless Lawyer . I was shocked to see how much she had lost weight, she was all so pale in the entire series. I feel she had to lose weight to resemble a girl in her 20s. But believe me, she was so fragile. I couldn't bear seeing her. While she does a fantabulous job with her acting, she can jump from being the coy Sun Bin to the menacing La El in seconds, her skinniness does keep troubling me. I really hope she is alright healthwise. Coming to the story, a revenge drama, can get gory and scary, keeps you startled for most part (at least I was), disgusted by the villains for their actions. How greed and power once again make people do things that are inhuman. How one man's greed for power and money can make him destroy an entire family and this man doesn't stop at hurting others, he hurts his own people. How growing up in such a situation can make a child also a devil. Actors did a fantastic job getting into the skin of the characters. A...
