THE SHORT VERDICT: Some viewers think that this show is brilliant, with its spotlight on the Korean education system, and the effect that it has, on all the players, including students, parents, and teachers. Other viewers feel that this show is boring and slow-moving, and not worth their drama hours. Still other viewers think that […] The post Review: The Midnight Romance in Hagwon appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more

THE SHORT VERDICT: Ironic, tongue-in-cheek and cheekily self-aware, Show is a fun twist on the traditional Cinderella fairytale. In that way, Show feels refreshing, because it doesn’t vibe like other kdramas. I personally found the ride on the uneven side of things, but that may not be the case for you, as there are many […] The post Review: Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more

Dear KFG:  My wife and I have our favorite actors and actresses we’ve grown to enjoy in Kdramas and will  perk-up when we hear they will be starring in a new role. This got me thinking. Have I seen the best Lee Jong Suk or Park Min-young drama? I would love to see your list […] The post Dear KFG: Iconic roles – k-actor edition! appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more

THE SHORT VERDICT: Mostly, Show is an offbeat, quirky little thing that is endearing and charming, even as it serves up plot developments that I might not have expected. My favorite thing about this one, is our would-be OTP, played by Hirose Suzu and Nagase Ren, whom I found likable and quite delightful, particularly when […] The post Review: Hold My Hand At Twilight [Japan] appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more

THE SHORT VERDICT: In my opinion, Show’s mainly an unhurried slice-of-life romance, meshed with our characters’ journeys of self-discovery, meshed with a good dose of sports drama, meshed with a touch of prodigal son. Opinions on this show are very divided, but if you are able to enjoy China’s brand of romance-in-the-everyday (a sub-genre that […] The post Review: Amidst A Snowstorm Of Love [China] appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more
