(이 블로그 글이 한국어로 또 있어요).
In this blog I usually only write about TV series which I really like. However in this post I tell a few words about many different series, good ones, average ones, terrible ones.

Misfits 3 (Wikipedia, Trailer)

I’ve already covered Misfits here. And Misfits it still damn good, I really can recommend it. The third season is maybe even the best one. I especially love the Zombie episode. If you like fantasy series, and haven’t tried Misfits yet, give it a watch.

Star-O-Meter: (4.5/5) (Yes, I even slightly increased it).

Zombies! Run!

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Wikipedia, Trailer)

May people really like this sitcom. Therefore I’ve watched one season. However I didn’t really like it. Usually I enjoy black comedy. This series is for me just average, but not great. So I stopped watching after the first season.

Star-O-Meter: (2.5/5)

You don’t wanna go to this bar.

Psych (Wikipedia, Trailer)

In this series a guy who can remember anything pretends to be a psychic. With his abilities he help the police solving difficult cases. Psych is a humor-full detective series, which I quite like. When it’s boring this series is nice to kill a hour or two.

Star-O-Meter: (3/5)

There are no ghosts, but big lies

Pretty Little Liars (Wikipedia, Trailer)

After a young woman dies, her 4 friends receive strange texts on their phones from a unknown person. These message contain secrets and lies of them. Who sends those messages? Who does he or she know all secrets? The plot sounds interesting, but the series isn’t. I found it rather boring.

Star-O-Meter: (2/5)

Hello. Hello? Hello??!!??

Mad Man (Wikipedia, Trailer)

Mad Man is boring. Don’t know why people like it.

Star-O-Meter: (1.5/5)

In Mad Man people really don’t work

Life Special Investigation Team (DramaWiki)

Life Special Investigation Team is another of these countless crime stories series. This time about insurance fraud. It’s alright. However it has really strange poop/fart ‘jokes’ in there. The aren’t even jokes, just strange scenes.
Star-O-Meter: (2.5/5)

People go crazy because of insurance money

Dream High 1 and 2 (Wikipedia, Trailer)

I really like Glee . Dream High is a series about music, so I expected something like Glee. However Glee is way better than Dream High. The first season is alright, but not great. The second season is the worse than the first one.

Star-O-Meter: (2.0/5)

Dreaming

When It’s At Night (DramaWiki)

In this series Heo Cho Hwi searches for old national treasures to then put them in museum. I really like the first episode, which is quite awesome. However after the first episode it gets more and more boring.

Star-O-Meter: (1.5/5) (However, for the first episode 3.5/5)

Catch the thief!

Mary stayed out all Night (Wikipedia)

I first though this drama revolves around some kind of marriage frauds. However it’s about an arranged marriage and love and so I lost interest. And the lead actress looks like a 14 old girl and not like the 20-25ish she’s supposed to be. Totally miss casted for this role.

Star-O-Meter: (0.5/5)

A fraud marriage is fun

Secret Garden (Wikipedia)

o.O, WOW, this thing is horrible, horrible, horrible. I cannot believe how bad this thing is (In fact, I watched the whole thing, just to see if it stays that bad). The story is a mess, I hate every character in it, the story makes no sense. Only Ha Ji Won’s character is alright. I probably could rage an hour about how bad it is.

Star-O-Meter: (0.0/5)

The secret garden is in the secret forest.

Office Girls (Wikipedia)

Office Girls is also bad. Especially the music is obnoxious, it always the some crappy song. And also the sound mix is horrible. The volume between voices, music and background is inconsistent and often ill balanced. Only the comic relief characters Liu Yu Le(劉禹樂) and Shi Ta Long(史特龍) are a little bit funny.

Star-O-Meter: (0.0/5)

Yep, who want’s to work?

Korean Peninsula (Wikipedia, Trailer)

In this series North- and South Korea together try to research on a new fuel source. However this dangerous project suffers an terror attack and all people are having a hard time.
I found this thing boring and stopped watching it quickly. (Maybe it get more interesting later on?)
