It comes a little late, but I wanted to finish Descendants of the Sun too, which ended last Thursday.
Itsuka Kono Koi wo Omoidashite, Kitto naite Shimau
Damn long titles. Anyway, I was really excited for this drama, aaaand... it was rather underwhelming. Not disappointing, because it wasn't bad, but I was expecting something entirely different. Like... more eventful? With more 'action' if that makes sense.
The two main characters were really nice people, but I found them hard to emphatize with; also they were those kind of people that are way too nice, that don't speak out their true feelings because they don't want to be selfish and hurt anybody, so they prefer staying unhappy... but doind like that, obviously, they end up hurting others anyway.
About the other characters, Haruta was cute but pretty useless, Ibuki kun was nice for the first part, then less nice, then nice again (and sad), Konatsu was the only one I really didn't like, she was so annoying! She has one moment of glory when she spoke the Gospel at the dinner of episode 5, and maybe near the end. The only character I liked from the beginning to the end was Kihoko, and I loved her relationship with Oto.
But my favourite was the old lady XP
I don't know, it wasn't bad, I enjoyed it, but I expected something more.

Watashi wo Hanasanaide
I'm not sure about why this drama was qualified as 'sci-fi', but I now understand why some people told me to stay away from this. It's, pretty much, a tragedy. At least you understand that most of the characters, probably all of them, will die at the 2nd episode, so you're prepared. But still. The sadness.
The children at the beginning killed me (no pun intended), Miwa was a pain the ass for the whole drama but when her moment came, it killed me, Tomo killed me, Tama chan killed me, Manami killed me, the guy Kyoko was a carer for killed me. Everyone killed me.
But the saddest thing was Kyoko. Because she already was pitiful, for what she was and her whole situation, but, even among all those pitiful people, she was the most pitiful one because her best friend was terrible and the guy she loved was a bit of an idiot. And the end... poor Kyoko.

Kazoku no Katachi
Last but DEFINITELY NOT LEAST. I wasn't expecting so much, but this drama ended up being my favourite of the season. Sometimes touching, and overall incredibly funny. The two main characters were SO relatable, for me. I like to think I'm not as self-centered as Daisuke, and I don't say everything that crosses my mind like he does, but I really get his need of having a place only for himself, with all his things, the need of not having people touching his stuff (I really have a problem with this one...), the thing about having his own habits not disturbed by other people. But, unlike me, he eats reeeeally healthy and goes to the gym regularly, without missing any day. In that aspects I'm much more similar to Hanako, who likes to be alone as well, but is also a lazy ass.
I loved all the characters, they were like a one big family. The drama starts with two lonely people, who chosed to be alone, who like being alone, and in the end they're surrounded by others; they continue living in their own way, but, somehow, it's different.
It's a fun, heartwarming drama about bringing people together and building a big happy family, I really recommend you all to watch it!

Descendants of the Sun (K)
Ok. OK. Everybody is going crazy about this drama. Korea loves it, China has lost its mind. The question is: why?
After the 3rd episode I wanted to drop it because I didn't care about what was going on, the characters, their future. I kept watching it because, like I said, its popularity was insane. And I didn't care about anyone in this drama untile the last second of the last episode.
It could have been a good military drama, a good medical drama and/or a good romance drama. There were all the premises. And yet it was neither of those. Boring, cheesy, predictable. Stressing out the 'cheesy' part, because it was like watching those old telenovelas, really, with those awful lines. I cared a little about the secondary couple, but they dragged their shit out for too long, but all the others? Who cares. The main couple? Who cares. It's not like what happened with other dramas (*coff* The Heirs *coff*) where I truly hated the main characters, here... I just... didn't care.
Also, at the end they did such a stupid thing: the two main soldiers, Song Jong Ki and his friend (look, I don't even remember the characters' names), became war prisoners for a whole year, then come back and... no mental traumas, no sign of torture/physical abuse or, I don't know, a sign of them being food deprived or not completely healthy. It was so unrealistic. I don't know.
It was really nothing special, like most of Korean dramas. The reason why I'm so upset it's because the ratings were crazy, like 40% or something. That's insane. Was it because it was the first drama Song Jong Ki did after the army? Was it because of his face (which it beautiful, I love it). I have no idea.
I'm not saying it's bad bad, but 40% of rating? Like... no. It was promising, and I appreciate that they filmed it all before putting it on air (hopefully they'll start doing it for every drama like normal people??? Please?? It's ridiculous???), but it was very underwhelming, seriously.
The OST was amazing, though, I love almost all the songs (this and this are my favorites). I also love Jong Ki's face. He's so handsome, he's unreal.
