J-drama Review: Alice in Borderland III
Very contrived way to get Arisu and Usagi back to Borderland. Well-produced but is more like an afterthought featuring material that should have been done in the first place.

J-drama Review: Who Saw the Peacock Dance in the Jungle?
Plot progression is a bit convenient. But decent production and the two strong leads carry the show. Strangely watchable despite the issues.

J-drama Review: The Hot Spot
A series about a woman and her alien colleague. Takes an ordinary, almost slice-of-life approach. Well-written, deadpan and amusing.

J-drama ● Review: Why Didn’t I Tell You a Million Times?
Ghost in the form of J-drama. A bit slow initially. Not bad writing but the execution is B-grade-ish.

J-drama ● Review: Burn the House Down
Tacky soundtrack. Lacks explanations re some plot points. Despite its problems, a tight narrative that is still mostly enjoyable.

J-drama Review: Alice in Borderland
Another alternate reality story. Contrived game survival horror-thriller. Clumsy structure. Moderately intriguing nonetheless.
