  • Good Partner

    1. Good Partner

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    1.0

    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.

    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.

  • Into the Ring

    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.

  • The Vineyard Man

    Korean Drama - 2006, 16 episodes

    Silly and the characters are overly animated.

  • Cinderella at 2 AM

    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.

  • It's Beautiful Now

    6. It's Beautiful Now

    Korean Drama - 2022, 50 episodes

    7.0

    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.

  • The Fabulous

    7. The Fabulous

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    2.0

    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.

  • Level Up

    8. Level Up

    Korean Drama - 2019, 12 episodes

    4.0

    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.

  • What's Wrong with Secretary Kim

    9. What's Wrong with Secretary Kim

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    5.0

    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.


  • The Innocent Man

    10. The Innocent Man

    Korean Drama - 2012, 20 episodes

    3.0

    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.

  • Seoul Busters

    11. Seoul Busters

    Korean Drama - 2024, 20 episodes

    2.0

    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.
