A young woman wants revenge against her father via shogi. Characters lack complexity and some things are resolved too quickly, but it is well-produced with strongly established lead characters and the series is tight.

A counter-intelligence officer tries to find a mole. His wife is on the short list. Sounds boring but is a tight film with decent dramatic tension.

If you like the novel, then don’t expect too much. Christoph Waltz carries the show but the corporate and office satire and black comedy are missing. One wonders whether the writer understands or appreciates the source material.

Drama-comedy about a rookie cop learning the ropes. Has good balance between being half-realistic and being comical. Solidly produced.

A 12-episode slice-of-life series of three-minute vignettes. The writing can be better, but it’s not that bad if one doesn’t mind risking half an hour.

Lacks plot and focus. Has elements of action, thriller and drama, but manages to be none of them.

Nothing spectacular but continues to be a well-produced and fun show with ridiculous action.

Nice artwork. Simple and crude storytelling, but it’s not bad for what it is.

Nicely shot and edited. Despite some far-fetched elements, it is a captivating and intense thriller.

Stereotypical cold male lead and soft female lead. Intriguing premise but the plotting and pacing need to be better. Relies too much on Chae Soo-bin to carry the show.

Solid production and performances. Nicely shot. Thoroughly entertaining and funny film on cooking and the hospitality industry.

Young woman learns of best friend’s suicide from years of abuse. She then steals her ashes to give her a proper send-off. Tight, good pacing. Solid effort. Nicely drawn.

Twins swap places in a story about survival and finding one’s direction. Solid performances all around. Shot conventionally but nicely edited. Simple plot but the characters, relationships and themes make it more complex than it appears.

Afterlife and judgement psychological thriller. Visually solid. Mildly intriguing initially but not particularly gripping. Overall, tries a bit too hard.

Despite a number of minor issues, a solid series created by Tony Gilroy, the writer of the Bourne trilogy. Nicely shot and edited. Decent pacing and dramatic tension.

A series about a woman and her alien colleague. Takes an ordinary, almost slice-of-life approach. Well-written, deadpan and amusing.

Nothing spectacular but still a well-produced and fun show. It strikes the balance between having an overall arc and being episodic.

Solid production but the plot is uneventful. Autopilot pacing. Relies on performance to carry the series.

High school slice-of-life romance drama with time travel. Not a particularly original premise but still decent production and execution.
