1. Good Partner
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
I'm not even through episode two and I just can't stomach the FL boss anymore. Nor can I stomach the ever so obvious scenarios that will play out, as well as the mind numbing mockery of reality and sanity that the outcome with surely bring....barf.
As an old lady having been in positions of power, I can say this based on experience and the wisdom acquired from it, you CAN be a strong female WITHOUT being a bloody hag.
If you like a vicious, destructive and self righteous lead...then have at 'er. You'll love this one.

2. DNA Lover
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
I dropped this at episode 5. It's slapstick silly with awkward seriousness thrown in, neither of which was interested in a harmonious amalgamation. This made it all more unbearable for me. I'd have stuck it out if the humour was more wit and a lot less to no animated/overexaggerated kid comedy.
It's not my schtick, but it may be yours.

3. Into the Ring
Korean Drama - 2020, 32 episodes
Not my thing...slap sticky, loud and slow. I'm halfway through the first episode and I'm already bored. Acting seems fine.
-
4. The Vineyard Man
Korean Drama - 2006, 16 episodes
Silly and the characters are overly animated.
-
5. Cinderella at 2 AM
Korean Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
The acting was fantastic given the shite script. Just read all the negative reviews and pretend I wrote them.
-
6. It's Beautiful Now
Korean Drama - 2022, 50 episodes
This is VERY much a typical soap opera, so, if you want to watch 50 hrs of how truly childish and vicious women can be to those around them, and how an entire cast of spineless men just sit back while the women stab and trample over everyone...this is the series for you.
I couldn't finish it, I made it to episode 30 something (with a lot of fast forewarding) and just couldn't take the vipers anymore. It's sad because it had the bones to be something worthwhile. -
7. The Fabulous
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
While I loved the cast, I just couldn't get into the writing. I found myself ffwding right from the beginning until the 3rd episode where I finally gave up. There were far too many exaggerated, immature personas for me to handle.

8. Level Up
Korean Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
It had potential but that was very neatly squashed by grating cliches and events that were less likely to happen than a naked mole rat making pancakes for hedgehog.
-
9. What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
I think this was one of the first k-dramas I watched so I gave it nine stars...that was before I realized that the ones written with any form of originality or intelligence, were an endangered species that almost never survive in captivity.
Since my newbie days, I've grown deathly allergic to overexaggerated characters, the ad nauseum cliches, and scripts that I would expect from the author of a 5th grade English assignment.
This time around I started getting angry in the first episode and only made to part way through the second before I had to stop.
The rest of the world seems to enjoy this crap, so don't take my experience as a marker...unless you are old and want something that is written in a way that at the very least, can fool you into thinking it's believable. -
10. The Innocent Man
Korean Drama - 2012, 20 episodes
Not even through the first episode and I can't.
I'm already angry at how they are setting up the characters...nope.
The acting itself is good, I wouldn't expect anything less from this cast. -
11. Seoul Busters
Korean Drama - 2024, 20 episodes
Yes, it's supposed to be a comedy, and yes it is a comedy...however, it's a bumbling fool type comedy and that's a no go for me. I prefer intelligence and wit. I dropped it halfway through the first episode.

12. Dear Hyeri
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
I'm just a bit into episode 2 and I just can't anymore. The second personality of the FL character is incredibly childish and of all things, they chose to make her speak in monotone. It's also difficult to understand how things fit into the timeline.
I'm quite disappointed, I was really looking forward to this series. -
13. Iron Family
Korean Drama - 2024, 36 episodes
Too silly for me. Over exaggerated characters. Had to drop it. All stars are for the actors.
-
14. Fantastic
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
I dropped this in the first episode, it's just scumbag after scumbag after scumbag. I'm not even halfway through and I'm too pissed off to continue. I won't revisit this one either.
It's a shame, I really do enjoy watching the talented FL. -
15. Miracle: Letters to the President
Korean Movie - 2021
I am sure this movie is brilliant, however, the female character that goes through his things and pushes her annoying self in all over his life...is damn annoying, apologizes for being a dick and then proceeds to continue to be a dick in the rest of her statement...nope.
I loathe these types of characters. -
16. King2Hearts
Korean Drama - 2012, 20 episodes
10 stars for every character except the FL. Is it just a shitty voice over, or is she a bad actor? I can't tell, but all other characters are 'in' character. Call me crazy but I have hard time watching a trained killer talk like a 12 year old airhead. I skipped episodes in hopes that that went away...it didn't.
I had to drop in episode 16 at the point where the FL was talking to the ML and suggesting that his treasonous secretary must have been and is going through a tough time right now and suggested that the ML was being too harsh....the treasonous secretary who either contributed to the murder of the prior king and kidnappings, covered them up and then continued to contribute to an endless stream of treasonous events until he was caught...what's worse is that the ML only said that he was too angry right now to think about what the secretary was going through...so he'll think about going easy on the guy that helped: murder his brother and sister in law, with the kidnapping of his sister and caused her jump and mangle herself, with the kidnapping of himself, with fueling animosity on a fragile and fledgling peace...it's endless...NOPE.
