Descendants of the Sun Review

Descendants of the Sun (2016) 

For all the ladies, drama lovers out there, who wouldn’t like to be saved and protected by a capable, charming man in uniform with a killer smile and an even more dangerous sense of humor? This drama will have you exercise your cheekbones as you smile along with Song Jong Ki. I would have loved if somebody had warned me about falling in love with most of the cast -so if you haven’t seen Descendants of the Sun, you've been forewarned.

The Flu Review

“The Flu” (2013) 

Koreans need an award when it comes to portraying love and relationships onscreen. “The flu” is a movie with a similar plot to the American Film “Outbreak” (1995) but with a different take on the characters and their relationships; also the flu is not brought in by a monkey, but by an immigrant. This disaster movie will make you fall in love with a kid; it will make you root for a fire fighter; it will make you wish for the death of the evil and incompetent; and from now on, it will make you cover your nose and mouth from sneezes around you -if you didn’t do it before.

Buzzer Beat Review

Buzzer Beat (2009) 

When you reach your 20s’ you start following your dreams. But when you reach the age of 24 it’s time to start making those dreams come true. That’s exactly what Naoki Kamiya (Tomohisa Yamashita), a professional Basketball player, and Riko Shirakawa (Keiko Kitagawa), a violinist, go through.

A Gentleman's Dignity Review

“A Gentleman’s Dignity” (2012)

Are you into a more mature romantic drama? Then this might be right up your alley. Usually, and I’m talking from my experience with Korean dramas, the stories about a group of friends is presented with female characters. In this case, we have a serious case of 40-year-old testosterone in mass together almost 24hour, going through whatever conflict a 40-year-old man goes through in 20 episodes. On the bright side, we get fresh meat here and there -and we have Kim Woo Bin and Lee Jong Hyun.  

Ex-Girlfriend Club Drama Review

“Ex-Girlfriend Club” (2015)

There is nothing worse than believing you are in a relationship to later find out that you are only considered a friend. This is the perfect recipe for a romantic disaster; the end of your future relationship; you’re being delusional. It takes a pack of crazy ex-girlfriends to knock you off your cloud. Yep, that’s how this drama goes. Oh! she wishes she was one of those ex-girlfriends. Although short, I consider this a good underrated drama with great potential.
