Description

Koreview is a review web application that allows users to search, discover and interact with Korean dramas (kdramas). Users can post reviews on specific kdrama pages and create custom playlists of kdramas they want to save. User interaction is facilitated by viewing user profiles, liking reviews and following playlists. This data is persisted in a PSQL database and accessed using SQLAlchemy (ORM) and a Flask server for REST API routes.

The kdrama information displayed on the app is queried from The Movie Database API. Through a search bar at the top of the app users can see autocomplete results under the bar as they type their query. The discover page allows users to add genre filters and sort options to view the kdramas. React JS components were used for these features to allow users to interact with the pages and see feedback.
