Pinocchio

With While You Were Sleeping on the horizon, I'm looking back over everything the writer Park Hye-ryun has under her name. So here's a review of Pinocchio. Fun fact, I would never have found my favourite drama of all time I Hear Your Voice if I hadn't seen a few episodes of Pinocchio and wondered what else Lee Jong-suk is in! Not fun? Okay.

For the Love of Horikita Maki

This list is going to be a little different to the lists of dramas by actor I've done so far. Horikita Maki is adorable, talented and charming... but she doesn't have the Midas touch. The projects she chooses aren't always amazing, and the characters she plays aren't always compelling. Regardless, she's an actress I like a lot and she deserves a list.

Chihayafuru (Movie Review)

There's been a trend recently of manga being adapted into live-action films - Orange, Ao Haru Ride, and Hirunaka no Ryuusei are some good examples. Whilst it doesn't always work (see, Erased, where they went off in their own direction and royally screwed up the ending), Chihayafuru is a fantastic example of a series I knew about but didn't enjoy to the fullest which was given new life through an adaptation.

Legend of the Blue Sea

Legend of the Blue Sea ended a while back, but I'm only finishing this show now since it's something I've been watching with my Mum (and watching without her means instant death). As soon as it was announced that the writer of rom-com hit You Who Came From the Stars and the director of City Hunter (which I haven't watched, but now need to) would be working together for a drama about mermaids, the hype was massive. Can a drama so widely anticipated, especially when it stars two of the hottest celebrities, ever live up to that kind of hype?
