Spring of the Blade ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Country: China | Year: 2026 | Episode: 30 | Channel: IQIYI
Cast: Zhou Ye & Xu Kai
Plot: Xie Qing Yuan lost her mother at a young age and always sought the truth behind her death. Now aged 18, she joins her father’s family: the Xie. There, she gets involved in family feuds, revenges and power struggles. She also meets Shen Run, an alleged corrupt official, who wants to avenge his fallen family.
Review: This drama was so good! It’s fast-paced with great action. There are so many secrets in the Xie mansion that the female lead unravels one after the other. The power dynamics are really well displayed and participate in this ambiance where everyone is suspicious and has something to hide. Personal interests, jealousy, envy, greed, power-thirst are all elements that control the Xies. Not going to lie but it was really satisfactory to see the female lead point out their misdeeds and witness their downfall. Just like Xu Kai’s character, I had my popcorn ready in every scene. The male lead is also great. He’s clever, sneaky, and revengeful. I loved seeing the leads walk parallel paths and clash with each other before teaming up against a common enemy. The ending was also good, rewarding those who behaved well or atoned for their sins. So I can only recommend this show.
Take Charge of My Heart ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Country: Korea | Year: 2026 | Episode: 10 | Channel: Netflix
Cast: Kim Young Kwang & Chae Soo Bin
Plot: Baek Ho Rang is a chaebol heir in need of surgery for his artificial heart that is running low on power. Na Bo Bae is a series writer, who acquired electrical powers after being struck by lightning. Everyone she touches receives an electric shock. One their first encounter, Ho Rang and Bo Bae accidentally kiss, but nothing happens. On the contrary, Ho Rang discovers that Bo Bae can charge his artificial heart.
Review: Romantic, original, a breath of fresh air. Take Charge of My Heart reinvents K-romances in my opinion. On paper, it sounds stereotypical, and it is. But they managed to play on all these clichés and rewire them in a comical way. Cheesy lines, heart-fluttering scenes, crazy plot twists are used, recycled and reversed to fit the context of the drama aka a man who needs an electric woman to charge his artificial heart. This is brilliant writing! The romance captivated me, made me giggle but didn’t make me cringe at all exactly because of that intelligent rework on clichés. Now, you still have the classic chaebol family war, rival second leads, rich guy poor girl trope, but they are not too much. I also liked how they made a drama within a drama, using Na Bo Bae’s job as a drama writer to effectively disrupt common romance tropes. The chemistry is great, good humor and perfect pace. The male lead is a loser in love and we adore that! Highly recommended!
The Ordinary Jackpot ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Country: Korea | Year: 2026 | Episode: 10 | Channel: TVING, tvN, HBO Max, Viki
Cast: Lee Jun Hyuk, Seo Hyun Woo & Oh Dae Hwan
Plot: Gong Eun Tae leads a Sales Team at Hongseong International. He has always aspired to have an ordinary life, but he realizes that this leads to boredom. One day, he wins the lottery worth 1.3 billion won. He continues to go to work and thinks nothing will change but this gradually changes his attitude about life.
Review: I liked this show so much! First of all, it’s realistic, credible and extremely relatable. As a company employee myself, I could really feel for characters, if not put myself in their shoes. Gong Eun Tae is in a difficult position where rebellion is not an option. However, it all changes when he wins the lottery and decides to get angry. That’s where the plot is genius in my opinion. Instead of focusing on what money could provide physically (a new car, apartment,…), the drama sheds light on what it offers on a personal level. Financial stability is the perfect occasion for the male lead to disrupt and not keep everything bottled up. By doing so, he simply rediscovers his work, breaks his daily routine and finds a sense of self-accomplishment and growth professionally. All characters in this drama are interesting too with a great evolution, the business twists are extremely clever (although you have to be really focused all the time) and the positive feelings of teamwork, collaboration and partnership are satisfactory. If you like office dramas, go for it!
