Korean Drama 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' is the story of a family throughout the decades.
The start of the drama is a bit rocky, but it quickly settles into the story. The plot is filled with emotional scenes that are the product of the slice of life drama and not a melodramatic try hard, which makes it even more impactful. Each episode was also interesting till the very final and the timeline, with its back and forths, was nicely handled and didn't get confusing.
Finally, the settings were great and the period part of the drama was masterfully presented. Moreover, the performances of the cast were excellent.
So, overall, nine out of ten.

Korean Drama 'The Defects' is a dark thriller.
For a short drama, the story is nicely developed, even though there were some twists that were rushed. Still, the idea was enjoyably unfolded, with a satisfying ending to a frustrating story. They also manage to fit in the main story the children's stories, which added much to the emotional impact of the story. Moreover, the action scenes were entertaining.
Finally, the performances were all great.
So, overall, seven and a half out of ten.

Korean Drama 'Tastefully Yours' is a culinary romantic comedy.
The drama has nice settings and a good idea behind the plot, but the rest was average. The comedy was overstretched, the politics underdeveloped, and the romance, which was the main ingredient of the drama, failed to impress. It was badly paced and was not convincing. It also lacked intensity and sweet moments. The scenes of the restaurant were nice, though.
Finally, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, three out of ten.
