Snapped (2004– )
10/10
Compelling stories!!
16 March 2024
Women kill for the same reasons, greed, child custody, jealousy, revenge. My mom was always reading true detective magazines when I was young, so as I got older I would too. I'm 69 now. This is better! Women crazy, more so than men...😮. In this day and age we won't get away with anything and yet Snapped goes on and on, season after season. Get a divorce and move on, let your spouse see their children, better than losing two parents. But some will act on impulses and hate, it won't end well. Thank you Snapped for letting me realize men can be victims too, and many times we don't really know anyone, even when we meet at church.

Legally Romance (2022– )
10/10
FUNNY, I LOVED IT!
4 January 2024
The FL and ML were great match, comedic couple. He likes her but she doesn't like him so she's trying to match him with law school beauty, but he's not buying into it. Drama is a 'back in time' story, but it starts in present time where she's his legal assistant and he's hot shot lawyer, of course he takes advantage of her by having her around him practically every waking hour. She hasn't passed the lawyer assessment yet. There's drama involved with another student FL in love with in real time, they were all in law school together.

ML is unique looking, FL not typical beauty either but together they play off each other very well with their bickering. He looks at her lovingly when she's unaware, and it's sweet.

There are many dramas with great leads that I'll start but if writing off, story can't hold me, even if I like leads. This drama I've never seen FL before, ML I know is a singer (that's all I know of him), but together with witty dialogue, good writing, serious and humor mixture and leads with great chemistry, I love this drama!

Speak No Evil (2022)
5/10
OH HELL NO!
25 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Scared crap out of me but not in the way I like. Give me slasher in the woods anytime, Freddy, Jason, Michael Meyers, even Chucky don't hold candle to these monsters! Disturbing not even the word, people hide behind nicest faces but twisted horrific inside. I thought for the genre, psychological horror it earns that description hands down.i was recommended this by four relatives!? What? Im looking at them different now, lol. I won't recommend. I was filled with anxiety, and sad watching this. I'll be thinking of this movie for days I'm thinking. I gave it five stars, well made, good atmosphere and music. Terrific actors.

But fun, fun ,fun! Leads beautiful , 2 great FL's and ML's. Story silly, of course, but kept me entertained and that's all I want. FL gorgeous, don't know if I've seen her before, and good chemistry with her lead actor!

I 💓dramas of all genres and cultures...but
11 July 2022
The leads must have chemistry, although I liked FL in Just Between Lovers, here she falls flat for me. She's plain, but that's ok, if she has charisma. Ravishing beauty not needed if sex appeal (charm) in place. She's a good actress but needs to bring out the woman a bit, especially one on one with her lover.

Hard for me to believe she has two men vying for her. ML has nothing to work with here. Side stories more interesting. FL needs spark.

I'm so hooked!
11 May 2022
Melodramas (novelas, soap operas) and Cinderella stories fun and diverting but this slice of life story speaks to my heart! Wish more cultures would bring us more of this kind of programming. These are real people, tired, disillusioned and looking for a break, in work, life and love. Main girl is a melancholy personality, maybe born that way or not, but she never invoked my pity, just admiration because she knows who she is. Main guy running away from past but they connect in a silent introspective way. They know each other without speaking. Other characters storylines interesting in a more obvious way. All in all this series excellent!!

My Sunshine (2015– )
5/10
Good balance between drama and humor
7 January 2022
Gotta say, FL hair and clothes awful although haven't completed yet. Why must she wear wigs? Did actress have hair issue? I got excited when she went to hair salon but now just shorter wig...ugh. And her horrendous clothes, c'mon. Storyline back and forth between their college year to present, spirited, lively FL in her college years, although cringy and annoyingly loud and talkative but in present bowed head, no spirit, no clearing up of misunderstandings, no personality. I can't imagine writers thought process, let's make female lead weak as adult woman. ML pretty much same personality throughout. Guess I'll stay for entirety.

I had a lot of tears but highly recommend. These actors had great sex appeal together and hope they team up again.

Sweet love, good writing.
2 August 2021
Surprising tears would fall from my eyes at times. Acting from main leads subtle, hesitating and realistic. Both had needs, hers really desperate, his more selfish. They agreed to the marriage of convenience then slowly she starts falling in love. Other two love stories interesting as well! This drama not cliche. Good acting all around!

Good story but...

Leads have no chemistry. I like them both, but together, not feeling it.

Leads charming

Especially him, Sunny wears heart on his sleeve and you feel for him, and there's another guy way cooler keeping Ginny on a string.

Love (2021–2022)
1/10
Betrayed weak women fun for writers?
18 March 2021
I'm waiting in vain for the wives to call them mothereffers, no backbone in the wives, maybe the young wife, but he's a weasley thing that couldn't be honest about wanting children. Husbands depicted (oh the stepmom with stepson, cmon!, so depraved even for kdrama!) have no love or respect for their wives, or children. Nothing redeeming in this drama except the kids with worthless men for fathers.

Burned Cocoon (2005–2007)

Waste of time!!
13 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Ok I know I'm watching fiction drama and expect to be taken away with story, but this one not only has every cliche in a soap opera but added a few with laughable results. Lead female, Hanzade, has no backbone at all, whiney little woman waiting for a cheating, abusive husband . Oh my God, has to be a male writer! Do Turkish women really act this way? Mother is cliche evil but does anyone leave family mansion? No, is course not. disliked 4 main leads, haven't finished but from other reviews doesn't get better! I'll fast forward through it so I can irritate myself more.
