WATCHED ❜23

✦ MAY 26

✦ LOVED all of it! From beginning to end it was so sweet and well casted! 

✦ JUNE 10

✦ Aokbab was really excellent the entire time! I'm so glad it was more of a dramatic-thriller than a romance

✦ "Is it expensive because it's special? Or special because it's expensive?"

✦ JUNE 13

✦ Really, really good! I could totally watch a season 2!

✦ JUNE 15

✦ Nope! The story was just all over the place in my opinion!

✦ JUNE 17

✦ Cute & funny! I liked the ending and the expectation of a second season

✦ JUNE 25

✦ Perhaps, it should have stayed a webtoon

✦ JUNE 26

✦ Its short & funny, but also pretty romantic.  A mixed brothel? lmfao!! However, it does end just like any other historical CDrama

✦ JULY 20

✦ It was pretty funny in the beginning! The brother ended up being SO WILD! And, the ending itself was really all over the place. 

✦ JULY 22 

✦ Its kinda giving a long-distance relationship + a drag queen as your parent & I really enjoyed it.

✦ JULY 23

✦ slow & simple: its unapologetically heartwarming! 

✦ JULY 23

✦ this assassin/mother is WILD!

✦ JULY 24

✦ It was ok.. I never really like the idea of "oh, I'm dating a spirit"?! Even if she was actually still alive. Its a bit weird BUT I did like the finale!

✦ JULY 24

✦ WOW! Even if I have seen this storyline before, it was really really well done! The production, score, and acting were all pretty excellent

✦ JULY 26

✦ Because it's a short series, it's a bit choppy and the acting is the greatest, but the story is pretty good overall. 

✦ JULY 28

✦ I really enjoyed the dynamic between all the characters in the guesthouse and I liked  different the ending.

✦ JULY 30

✦ I like the older age-gap & the discussions between the ML and his two bffs. 

✦ AUGUST 10

✦ I like the story, pacing, acting & overall mystery of it all! The entire concept of an "Enigma" is really interesting as well! If only there wasn't a weird teacher-student romance element! More dramas like this, of this length & style!

✦ AUGUST 10

✦ I didn't think I was going to enjoy this drama as much as I did. I thought the casting and "romance" element would be very weird, but they didn't push that too much which was good. The overall mystery and story was very well done! Just weird who the culprit ended up being.

✦ AUGUST 11

✦ BOTH the Acting & the Story are ok.. Last 2 eps are good, and it ends on a cliffhanger meaning the work is never done!

✦ I dont like how the OST makes certain scenes feel more dramatic than they actually are, while at the same time using the same music for scenes that truly are filled with drama. It takes away from the truly interesting parts of the drama.

✦ AUGUST 18

✦ Another drama about corruption within the prosecution & greedy businessmen, and this one was a pretty easy to binge. 

✦ Power & Money is truly the themes of this drama. As both of the villains (prosecutor & money cartel boss) had an unquenchable thirst for the money and the power. I did love the scenes with him horseback-ridding in Mongolia!

✦ AUGUST 18

✦  kinda cute! ..Moved from her hometown to go to  boarding-school, but met up with her (will-be) bf on a visit back home. Its a cute showcase of their hometown of Cheongdo.

✦ AUGUST 18

✦ Its cheesy for being like, "we used to flirt with each other freshman year, and now you have a jealous girlfriend, who's also my bff" 

✦ Moral of the story: It is important to be honest with yourself and others, otherwise you may miss out it life. 

✦ AUGUST 19

✦ Bulling SUCKS!....But I had to keep rooting for this underdog!

✦ AUGUST 19

✦ Mr. Right is your bff who lives next door!

✦ SEPTEMBER 3

✦ "Anyway!" Every single episode is light and funny, with just a sprinkle depth that pulls you in! I loved this drama way more than I thought I would, like now its one of my favs!

✦ The only thing I dont like is the typical theme that its always the moms fault when the kid does something wrong! But, where are the dads, GONE thats where!

✦ SEPTEMBER 3

✦ yup! Just a group of normal adults in their mid-30s running a restaurant. Oh! and each ep surrounds a rice-cooker. 

✦ SEPTEMBER 4

✦ I liked the colors & overall aesthetic, but the story has been done a lot!

✦ SEPTEMBER 10

✦ It definitely has its flaws, but there could have been something here! I really enjoyed it, but I also did skip a lot and found certain scenes to be very drawn out. 

✦ SEPTEMBER 10

✦ LOVED! This is definitely one of my new favs! The complexities of love and family are addressed in a fun and light manner with a bit of depth, really well in this drama. I kept being drawn the characters would end up and I liked the soundtrack.

✦ SEPTEMBER 13

✦ A fated encounter leads to fulfillment in career and love. Great aesthitics & OST in this drama! I'm so glad I watched it, as it didnt have most of the troubling themes I usually find in doramas.

✦ SEPTEMBER 13

✦ Production is beautiful and the story is simple (perhaps a little too simple) So its a very comfortable, but slightly uninteresting watch

✦ SEPTEMBER 14

✦ Overall, I was right about this drama! Its uses comedy to shield its lame attempt at addressing gender roles and sexism. ALL the characters completely contradict one another, and that fact alone really pissed me off while I watched! There are some funny moments that did help redeem this drama in certain ways.

✦ SEPTEMBER 14

✦ Nothing like this will ever trump 'Scandal', but there is definitely a lot of drama here. The acting was really what cause this show to suffer. I did like seeing the political elements, but it did not make up for the poor acting all around.

✦ SEPTEMBER 15

✦ I definitely remained curious through this entire drama, as to what payback the Informa is looking for! It does feel like this is an interesting take on a Yakuza story, based on a book. If there is another I most likely will watch it.

✦ SEPTEMBER 16

✦ The kind of show that I surprisingly feel in love with, for all of its nonchalant charm. Themes of life, good deeds, and living life to the fullest!

✦ SEPTEMBER 17

✦ REALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!

✦ SEPTEMBER 20

✦ Overall, I liked it! There was some melodramatic moments in the story, but the concept was good, quick and had a satisfying end. 

✦ SEPTEMBER 20

✦ Inspired by a True Story! This may be a case where they were fated, but not destined. 

✦ SEPTEMBER 21

✦ Interesting idea of starting a whole New Hong Kong, with its current residents. The love triangle was a bit heartbreaking. 

✦ SEPTEMBER 21

✦ Appealing cinematography, and a storyline with a relatable, simple, and fitting ending. 

✦ SEPTEMBER 21

✦ Not great at all, but not completely terrible either. I liked the story's concept, but it just wasnt well done. 

✦ SEPTEMBER 21

✦ Inspired by the song "L.U.S.H." by New Hope Club. About not regretting relationships even when it ends with a break-up.

✦ SEPTEMBER 21

✦ Really excellent fxs here! Using the complex idea of "faith" and personal values, this short horror film displays the lengths people will go to, in order to get what they want. 

✦ SEPTEMBER 22

✦ What a story! The dramatic moments are far apart, but dark and intense. By the finale there is more of a documentary than a drama feel with all the information provided, but I liked hearing about all the events that transpired and the US involvement. 

✦ SEPTEMBER 23

✦ I like a lot about this drama. The story is pretty good – its historical and clever without any romance with the ML.  Loved the cinematography – especially eps 1, 8, & 12. As always ML was great, with a bit of an open-ending as to where he may be headed next. 
• "A single man can see the view of ten thousand chariots. I am overturning a hundred-year-old case in a day. Although I will die, I shall become worthy to stand amongst the heroes."

✦ OCTOBER 25

✦ Probably my favorite drama of 2023! I loved the mystery and suspense, our superheroine was amazing the whole time, and the lack of romance surprisingly kept me interested. 

✦ OCTOBER 26

✦ BEAUTIFUL COSTUMES! Cindy becomes the bad guy in this tale, but the prince has to end up with someone and guess its this random character they decided to introduce.. Remi?  Theres was too much explanation trying to prove that the culprit was her and that her motives made sense. Now, would I watch a sequel? Absolutely. I like that Little Red is a detective here; it really works for her character.

✦ NOVEMBER 20

✦ Full of tension & ending on an inspiring note! This was a great change of pace for me and I found myself loving the show more and more after every episode. I was always curious as to what was going to happen next, up until the very end.
