Hey there, welcome to the Flash Reviews section of the blog. 🙂
1. What’s a Flash Review and how is it different from a regular Review?
The regular reviews that I write tend to be longer and more detailed, generally speaking.
Flash Reviews are much shorter (as quick as a flash, so to speak), and will give you a flavor for how I feel about a show, without having me dive into a whole lot of detail. It also means Flash Reviews will contain fewer spoilers, if at all. If there are spoilers, they’ll be marked [BIG RED LETTERS!] and you’ll be able to avoid them if you want.
2. If there’s a Flash Review, will you still write a regular Review, or vice versa?
I don’t plan to, as that feels like twice the work, to be honest. So if a show is listed here, you won’t find it in the regular reviews section, and vice versa.
3. Why are there so few Flash Reviews listed?
Flash Reviews are a relatively new addition to the blog, so the list will grow as I write ’em. If there’s a Flash Review that you’d like to see on the blog, leave me a comment. If I’ve seen the show, I’ll try to accommodate. 🙂

Hope that all helps!

Hello, I really like your flash reviews as well as has your full reviews. I would recommend you to watch KBS’s drama ‘What Happens To My Family’. Although it is quite a long drama with 53 episodes. I would also like it if your would review KBS’s ‘Producer’ when it comes out and KBS’s ‘Who Are You: School 2015’ when it comes out as well. Thank you and please reply if possible.

Hi there Amy, welcome to the blog! 🙂 It’s great to know that you’re enjoying the reviews, and yes, I do plan to watch and review both Producer and Who Are You: School 2015. It might take me a while, but I’ll get there!
Thanks for the recommendation on What Happens To My Family.. I’ll keep it in mind, but am unlikely to be able to check it out anytime soon, to be honest. I’ve got way too many dramas on my plate and on my watch list, so it’s already challenging to make time for those, while making time for Real Life too. If I do check it out, I’ll let you know!

Hi. I just found your blog and I’m thoroughly reading your reviews. I love them. I’ll probably check out a few of the movies and dramas that landed on your list of faves.
You should definitely check out Love In the Moonlight or Moonlight Drawn By Clouds if you haven’t already done so. I enjoyed it and it was the last Korean drama I’ve been able to fully watch because everything has been a pass for me in 2017.

Here are a few Japanese Movies you should watch:
– L ❤️DK(super cute)
– Heavenly Forest (need tissues)
– Close Knit (need tissues (maybe))
– Brain Man (dark psychological movie, but the movie has a great plot)
– Rurouni Kenshin trilogy (great action scenes)
– Rinne no Ame (drama special)
– From Me to You (Kimi no Todoke)(super cute)
Those are my favorite one so far
