Isanghan byeonhosa Woo Young-woo
(2022)

You choose whether this show is a great representation to the autistic community or not.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo Young Woo is good on the outside, it presents an overly smart attorney and her experiences as an individual with autism.

I'll get straight to the point, this drama tackled lots of issues in each episode which will make your mind wider in different kinds of problems. It showed the perspective of an attorney-that they do not have a choice whether they defend the good and the bad. I love how this show also shouts out the message "everything is political" (the dad mentioned it on ep. 8). The cameraman is smart as well; there was an episode where WYW told Tae Su-Mi that she is her mum then the camera went side ways which I believe reasonates Tae Su-Mi's choice of leaving WYW. Another point that I want to make is Atty. Kwon's jealousy of WYW. He probably experienced mistreatment in the family that made him act like that to WYW(though I do not excuse his actions, what he did was still crap telling something in the hanbada board).

Though it may look like this show is perfect, it's not. Firstly, it was quite predictable already that Taesan's ceo is WYW mom. They made it obvious which kinda sucks. Secondly, a genius autistic person (character) doesn't work out in some points of the show. Sometimes, it gets really unrealistic. Next, the ending did not give a difference in this show. It felt like another episode, rather, it felt like a cliffhanger. I wanted something more. Lastly, I cannot honestly judge whether Park Eun-Bin's acting was accurate enough to represent an autistic person. And that's what the people behind the show failed to do, to cast an actual autistic person. If it were an autistic person, I don't think some autistic people would've gotten offended (yes, I have seen some people saying that it was quite uncomfortable watching) not only that, it would've properly shown to its viewers that this is how an autistic person acts.

Try giving this show a try, it has it's up's and downs to which i think you can perfectly judge.

Extra: whales are cool "the unrequited love towards a cat" it took minwoo 15 episodes to change,,,,, i have mixed feelings about people saying youngwoo is cute..

Ghost Lab
(2021)

Do not waste your time watching this movie, unless you really wanna waste your time.(tw mentions of suicide)
A 2(or 3?) hour movie that could possibly waste your time, dont give time to this movie.

The movie's plot could've been unique, two (resident) bestfriends suddenly saw the dead patient from the ER(it wasn't their patient) Then Gla decided to convince Wee (doesn't believe in ghosts) that they should scientifically prove ghosts exist. The movie lost itself when Gla committed suicide. The aftermath of his death became unrealistic. In my point of view, they should've done crap together-not leaving Wee alone who wasn't interested in the first place. How can a ghost type that often? How could a ghost break all Wee's limbs? I know this is supposed to be fictional, but it could've added a realistic factor.

The end of the movie just sum's up your emotion: What a waste of time. All things they did ended up in the bin like this movie. If Gla didn't sacrifice himself for this stupid experiment, they would've successfully proved ghosts were real! Gla knew Wee was unstable yet he put him in this type of situation. What did they both expect?

Ghost Lab also wasted a potential of bromance, which could've stirred up the movie in a positive way.

Ghost Doctor
(2022)

A memorable series to watch over and over again.(long review)
This is probably one of the best comedy medical drama to watch, go give it a try!

The storyline is very unique, it's not your typical medical romance or serious drama. It focuses more on fantasy, between ghosts and one living doctor, but its definitely not horror.

Even if Rain is here, I think every actor brought this show. Starting from the villains, to the coma ghosts, and everyone. Rain and Kim Bum did not disappoint in portraying comedy, they literally made us laugh. Having the sad scenes, it effectively made me tear up too!

There are lessons to learn in this show. There's unconditional love, where even if they hurt you the most, you'd still love them till your very last breath. Genuine friendship-despite the differences, there will be always a special connection between you and them. Helping one another, giving small or big things makes people happy, so let's give a lending hand to one another. And lastly, A true doctor would never disregard other patients. Every patients deserves another life, whether it may be impossible or not. This show would remind you to always reflect on your actions, because your ways may hurt other people.

Despite the pro's in this story, there are cons that didn't necessarily ruin the show but I believe it somewhat might annoy you(anyhow, I'll go from minor to major irritations). Starting off with the shakey camera, this happens most of the time. While watching the show I was kinda hoping it would stop in some of the episodes, but no. It continuously kept on shaking throughout the whole series. Second, there are so many unnecessary flashbacks, a scene you saw 2 minutes ago would be showed off again. Do I have to see the same scene over and over again when I just saw it? Next, The "I want the money and power" genre is used too much on dramas, but I think this helped the drama have it's own arguments. Fourthly, the shadows did not help make the ghosts obvious that they are ghosts. From what I know, ghosts don't have shadows(?) so I wish they edited that out. Fifth, By the middle or almost end of the story, some people knew that Koh was being possessed by Youngmin. I dont think this should've had happened. Lets be realistic, no one would believe that Seung-Tak was being possessed besides himself. But hey, Dr. Jang, Dr Ahn, the Administrative Director, and Soo Jeong believed that Seung-Tak was being possessed. Sixth and Seventh, The coma ghosts stories were a cliffhanger and never got their happy endings. Sure, Bomi and Hun-Gil survived, but did they get to admit they had feelings for eachother? Especially Hun-Gil? And Guk-Chan, what happened after he was released in the hospital? There was so much potential in them because without them, Young-Min would be a stupid roaming around ghost. Eighth, if they added romance, then the romance should've been atleast fluttering. In relation to the 2nd con, the flashbacks of Dr. Jang and Cha were so repetitive. Was skipping meals and living together is all they did? Finally, It was very unfair that Young-Min remembered what happened while he was in a coma. What about the other ghosts? The rule was not remembering what happened while being a ghost. Moreover, the ending was probably rushed when Cha was already alive. But it didn't fail to be sad.

Extra: i wish they would release a season 2 with the same casts. I would lovingly and gladly support this show again and again!!!!!

Welcome to Wedding Hell
(2022)

Probably one of the most realistic K-Drama's I've watched (i'm not married, so this is realistic for me).
This show's good to watch, although you might be bored by the first few episodes.

Actors are fine, not bad but not great. Jun-Hyeong can improve his comedic skills though. His side-kick was effortlessly funny. To be honest, i didn't mind how Na-Eun and Jun-Hyeong didn't match. The whole point was how wedding preparations are hell, the drama wasn't supposed to show how they started off as couples (ykwim). However, I was disturbed by(maybe) the unofficial second loveteam(?) Minwoo and Hui-Seon.

Dont expect much from the characters attitudes(except for Minwoo) because Jun-Hyeong is SUCHHHHH a green flag and Na-Eun is your typical girlfriend(nothing special about her really..). Minwoo is the most crazy characters of them all, I find him weird so I can't see how Hui Seon, an independent girlboss falling for him. I thought she learned from her ex tbh. And for Soo-yeon, I wish she was given more scenes.

Admit it or not, the parents literally brought this whole show. Without them there would be no almost breakup scenario. Literally from the beginning, it was like a competition between Wealthy vs Mid. This show would not end if they didn't reconcile.

It was predictable that this drama wouldn't finish a whole 16 since it would be impossible to add more unrealistic problems. I don't expect a season 2, being newlyweds are a whole different story.

As I said in the title, it's realistic. We cant deny that it showed the hell of pre-marriages. It actually made me realize I do not want to commit (i'm young so idk yet hshaha). Sadly, It didn't give me "spark" that I expected. There's something missing that I wouldn't bother watching this again.

Extra: i wish they didn't show Na-Euns wedding dress,,, it would be great to keep it a surprise.

Byuti Insaideu
(2018)

Great series, but somewhat cliche.
The series is great, there's certainly lessons that you can learn such as acceptance and love in all aspects. Though as said in the title, some episodes here are a bit.. cliche?

Intro(as in the first episode): Simple answer, it was a bit fast for a first episode. You cant deny the fact that you'd really get hooked up after watching Se-Gye running out of the ceremony and transforming into a man. Okay so why was it fast? I find it a bit fast that Se-Gye and Do-Jae meet, create a contract, fly out and sleep on his shoulder. Despite them meeting, Se-Gye turning into an older woman was probably good for the fate of both her and Do-Jae.

Kang Sa-Ra & Ryu Eunho: Ngl, we needed more sweet and cute parts of them. Literally 2 kisses on the lips and smacks on the cheeks aren't enough!! On a serious note though, Sa-ra isn't bad after all, she was just a misunderstood woman who people belittles. Which is why she's so cold and that. Eunho, a man of God who sacrificed his dream for Sa-ra and chose love instead. This dude is probably underrated tbh (i mean except his looks everyone loves it LOL). He was always there by Se-Gye(w/ U-mi ofc) and Sa-ra's side. Eunho is an understanding, handsome, and a pretty guy, I love him <3

Chae Yu-Ri & Se-Gye: Excuse my words but goddamn, this shameless Yu-ri what the actual hell does she want :sob: i mean like yeah okay you got it Se-Gye transforms but please you wont gain anything from her transforming. I really wish Se-Gye took the chance to kill her when it was that time of the month (maybe /j...)

ps. Yuri looks like suzy bae 0.0

SDJ & HSG's friendships: Real genuine. No matter how stupid their choices were, U-mi, Joo-Hwan, Eunho, would still support the both of them. But they have no choice since that's where their money comes from (jk). Their friendships aren't one sided at all, I really wish to have a friendship like them.

Relationship of SDJ & HSG: Do-Jae is such a green flag. He will literally do anything and everything just to make the relationship work. I wish he still wasn't "dry" at the last few episodes of the series(but he was still sweet though, just not as what i've expected). As for Se-Gye, she's a sweet, clingy gf. She seems fun to have a relationship with mwhehe I love it when she's drunk AHHAHA. But their relationship seems cliche, its just all those sweet flirty actions. It felt repeated? Nonetheless, you'd still get butterflies in your stomach so thats a plus.

Ending: It's not the best tbh, I just wish we could've gotten more?! Like maybe a double wedding for Sa-Ra x Eunho & Do-Jae x Se-Gye. Instead we got a flashback which, isn't disappointing yet disappointing at the same time?

Extra: The music was ok but it's kinda annoying to hear the same track could've gotten a bit more songs (like the other review above said).
