K-drama ● Review: Mask Girl
A tight narrative about an ugly woman’s desire for attention. Tragedy follows her decisions. Some plot conveniences but beautifully shot.

K-drama ● Review: Doom at Your Service
Lacks plot. Themes are apparent but under-developed. Mostly looks good. Relies too much on Park Bo-young and Seo In-guk to carry the show.

K-drama Review: Celebrity
Over-simplistic characters and plot can be more refined, but a decent drama about obnoxious influencers and social media.

Post-apocalyptic dystopia with truck-driving delivery man hero. Not bad in any respect. Mostly tight at 6 episodes. Can use more wow factor.

K-drama ● Review: Find Me in Your Memory
Fails to fully utilize an interesting premise—a lost opportunity thematically. But, strangely, it may still be a likable series.

Attempts to be a supernatural thriller-drama. Formulaic in many respects. Nothing bad but nothing special either.

K-drama ● Review: Hotel del Luna
My Verdict: An amusing supernatural-fantasy drama. Excellent cast. Beautifully lit and shot. But female lead’s past is not well handled.

K-drama ● Review: You Are My Destiny
Remake of the 2008 Taiwanese series. Tries to be quirky as well as tragic. Drags on for too long. Annoying male lead. Avoidable.
