Life does not go planned always. But when it takes the biggest twist you start valuing your life a little more.... Haejo has been living carelessly and carefreely till an accident revealed a chapter of his life he was unaware of. Jae Mi's free spirit nature faces roadblocks as a very precedented incident appears early. Three twists make the journey eventful and rewatchable. 1. The past Korean drama makers use a heart-wrenching past which builds the character graph with the story's progression. The past of Hae Jo and Jae Mi keeps them from living through their present. As Hae Jo gets to know he has only a few months to live, his craving for having a real family suddenly overwhelms him. Jae Mi's craving for having her own family and children seems to move far away as she tries to cling to it. Hae Jo tries to confront his past but the pain of betrayal comes in every time. The pain of being abandoned by his own family keeps on taking peace of his mind. 2. The Love As Jae Mi finds herself falling apart, she finds love by her side. We have witnessed different love across the Korean drama universe but this love track is going to take the peak spot. Falling in love when you are at your best is easy. But have you met someone who is there for you when you are at your lowest? Jae Mi has that one, who saves her from falling apart. 3. The Pain It is the most irrevocable and unconditional emotion that stays with us throughout. Every time people fall apart they even count the not-happened birthday coral from years ago. Jae Mi did not fall out of love. But the pain of being abandoned again kept on haunting her, pushing her away from herself. This mini-right series is a must-watch because of its unique plot and twist

Joo Eun Ho finds herself falling apart at the sudden breakup with her boyfriend Hyun Oh. She starts taking shelter in her alter ego Hye ri who is vocal about her feelings and quite positive which is the opposite of her characteristics. The situation takes a salty turn as Hye Ri falls for the very neat Joo Yeon. It's been a while since Korean dramas work on a mental disorder at such a crucial level. Unlike the journey of Kill Me Heal Me, the journey of Hye Ri is more complicated than it is supposed to be. With each passing episode, the conflict between Eun Ho and Hye Ri makes life and emotions difficult for Hyun Oh and Joo Yeon. Unaware of the existence of the alter ego, Joo Yeon falls hard for Hye Ri. This arc within the story is the biggest twist which never leaves the car park at its proper place. As the story progresses and the scenes start resolving a new unplanned situation appears. This keeps the aura alive. What say....are you looking for a parking spot? Hye Ri is there to help you.

Korean dramas are experts in showcasing childhood romance. And in this case, the journey of Choi Seung-hyo and Bae Seok-ryu is no different. They met in childhood and lived with each other almost all the time till Bae Seok-ryu left for America. Their meeting after a bunch of years triggers lots of emotions and surely love kicks in. A very normal tale. The lack of perfect twists at the beginning and ending often failed to hold the charm. The chemistry of ML and Fl and a perfect second lead helped in keeping the story going.

A slow love story starts when Korean student Choi Hong bumps into Aoki Jungho. They start living together at a very early stage, and every moment they spend together is full of oh-so-love. But one day, Hong asks for a breakup, and she leaves. One of the biggest perks of a slow-burning love is that it takes time to build. In the case of this love, the continuous travel between past and present sometimes made the audience wonder. Sometimes the past seemed too happy, thus confusing the audience about the demeanor of Hong in the present life. The performance of Lee Se Young after donning the marvelous The Marriage Story of Park is quite gloomy and nonchalant. Maybe it's the character graph that drags her more down. Every time she came on the screen, I felt more sad than hers. Kentaro Sakaguchi in the role of sad Jungo is less expressive than he was needed. His calmness made everyone around him uncomfortable. For the first time in my life, I really wanted a sad ending to make the love less bulletproof and more logical...

Countless legal dramas ranging from Juvenile Justice, Again My Life to Lawless Lawyer, mostly delve into solving crimes and resolving childhood trauma. But this latest offering chronicles the bitter-sweet emotion of an institution called marriage and looking what breaks it. This is where the drama becomes unique. Instead of solving crimes or offering the same thriller story in a new envelope, it goes through real life and identifies the different definitions of love. Jang Na Ra as Eun Kyung is glamorous and powerful. Her enactment of a determined star lawyer is conniving and convincing. The arc she selected in her mature years is more promising than her romantic days. Nam Ji Hyun as Han Yu Ri as the bitter-sweet persona, thinking unlikely of Eun Kyung is the much-needed determination in the tale. The chemistry between these partners is a wholesome meal served right dose of kimchi. The moment when Eun Kyung says she is aware of her husband's affair before Yu Ri implies the strength both of them hold in their thought process. Kim Jun Haan as the subordinate of Eun Kyung adds layers of love to the story. The gentle charismatic lawyer is responsible for adding layers of love to the story.

As the star lawyer wants to hide her loss and make her divorce story a tale of the decade, the story delves through the inner life nuances of people who make and break life. Directed by duo Kim Ga-ram and Ahn Ji-sook, The Law Ride offers a murky journey wrapped in quirkiness. The story misses beats at few steps, but the journey offered is strong and fun.

The eight episode mini series Serendipity's Embrace recently ended on a happy note. The Jong Hyeop and So Hyun starrer made quite an impression ever since it went on air. But the charm left visibly in the third episode. Here are 3 reasons why you can skip it. . The shallow plot Who does not love childhood friend turned lovers. It's one of the favourite genre of Asian story. And this one is no different than that. However, given the writer is taking the favourite theme of audience special attention was necessary for the narrative. Keeping the FL naive and ML too loyal made it cliche and unconvincing. The over supportive best friend and light interested second ML was only water on the fire. 2. Thin twist line When Hye Ji falls for Mr. Son it not only gave frown to Hye Sun but also us. Just why? If her love for Hoo Yeong was that shallow and meaningless, it should not have been dragged till the date. She also never tried her luck with anyone. Why all FL and ML are trying this hard to be pious and thus making themselves appear unconvincing. 3. Smallest story ever Right episode series.....this is too much. Korean dramas are reducing episode number every year. But eight episode chronicling life from school days to present time is too much. Lack of time is another reason for the poor story frame. Neither characters nor plot got time to get a shape to keep audience hooked. If you love childhood friend turned lovers there are bunch of beautiful stories out, go and check them. You can start with Casteaway Diva and Love alarm ;)

Mi Jin is on the verge of reaching thirty but has yet to crack her dream civil service job. In the process, she gets scammed and bumps into Prosecutor Gyu, who is harboring a dark secret in his sleeve. Review What is the benefit of working so hard? This is the question Mi-Jin asks herself when she fails the civil service examination again. In her last ten years, she did nothing other than study for it. But all she got in return was to hear that she is in her thirties now, without any experience, so getting a job is difficult. Her best friend Chon Hui is her only confidante. Her never-ending plight takes an unprecedented turn when she finds herself in the body of a fifty-year-old woman every morning and only returns to her true self at night.

Her banter with her friend, feeling attracted to the charming prosecutor - the girl brings out all effortlessly as always. Lee Jin Eun as fifty-year-old Lim Sun- the alternate identity of Mi Jin is the twist of the tale. The woman who mostly dons the character of a helpless mother has brought out the invisible kitty from her bag.

He knows what he is doing. He is effortlessly hot and equally cold - which is needed for this dark role. The supporting cast adds humor mostly, but Byung Hee Ajushhi is the cherry on top. Conclusion Korean drama directors always do brilliant in bringing out supernatural stories. This Miss Day and Night is no different again. A fantasy element packed in delving into solving a cold crime case is not just magnificent but more than that.

Another content creator Ye Na comes into action who is a blend of positive and negative light. The biggest thumbs-up for the drama is that it is very much today's story. Eun Ha's journey reflects the turmoil of every content creator who is making money in this business. Han Sun Hwa as Eun Hwa is warm and vivacious. She is trying to understand the human Ji Hwan is and the life he has been into. The romanticism identified in this character is discreet which matches up with the graph of the story. Tae Goo, the man seen in critically acclaimed films has been debuting as lead for the first time. He is soft in heart and is a clumsy person who is trying to fit in the polished world. Tae Goo rubs off sweetness ever since his appearance in the tale. He is someone with a golden heart and the door of his house is open for all. The way the director distinguished between the two worlds adds subtle nuances to the tale, like thugs calling Ji Hwan Hyungnim instead of Hyung. The altercation between two universes is satisfying and humorous. Conclusion The overall story is heartwarming and light. While dueling in the past, the story goes through a laugh and love lane as two charming hot heroes vie for the innocent-hearted girl.
