Completed in 2024

It started kinda okay but dropped my focus bad after mid-series.

Some songs were fun, some were bleh.

I love titles about illnesses, but something here felt missing. I feel like it had potential for more, but I don't know how I would have changed it to match my tight criteria of getting a 9 or a 10.

Less butt humor, more crime-solving, mister! One point off from the Butt jokes-writing team. Gladly the latter part of the series took the crime-solving route more often.

It was a bit hard to keep my focus on this at times, hence only 7. Overall I liked the atmosphere of this film.

I like things that are based on true stories, but this didn't meet my expectations. I guess I wasn't just in the mood for this type of stuff, because it felt like the overall atmosphere in the movie was not what I expected and not in a good way. Still, the cinematography was good and the story was alright, starting and ending with background info about the theme.

This was the third movie of today and I think I'm done with watching because nothing overly impresses me today... :D At first the movie had really annoying comedy bits, which made me regret picking it. Before starting, I read through the synopsis and looked at the top-rated tags. Disability and tearjerker, okay, can't go wrong here. It got better towards the end and scored a little above the average (7) for me, but nothing special, really. Not bad, but not amazing either.

It's a well-made drama and it kept me interested through every episode. I almost feel like giving it a 10, but something is keeping me from doing it... Seems my bar this year is high. :D

In the end, I had more questions than in the beginning. "Nice" visual effects too.

This was actually a really pleasant surprise even though I usually don't like live actions (my husband is picky so we ended up choosing this one lol). The last episode was quite predictable even without knowledge of the original series, though.

Maybe it's because I'm sleepy today but I couldn't keep focused on the plot.

This year is for deaf male leads, haha. Loved this drama, it gave me goosebumps in some episodes. The soundtrack was great. Still, I'm really really stingy with my 10s since my teens. I feel like even when the drama or movie is great, there could still be something even better, so I can't give a 10, if you know what I mean.

I really wanted to like this because I like the medical genre, but it was very average. Took me literal years to complete, but I'm finally done (and free)!

Not impressive. I expected more but it was boring and exhausting to watch.

Meh. That is all.

A bit over-the-top acting (which often is the case with Sakai Masato's dramas) from everyone. Otherwise entertaining.

Zzz.

It seemed a bit boring at first, but I ended up really liking the story.

It took me 13 years but I finally made it. I started this because of Jang Hyuk back in 2011 when it was still airing. I remember liking it back then, but seeing how it took me forever to actually end the series, I'm giving it just a 6.

I watched it for Odagiri Joe. Not impressive. Boring and predictable story.

I haven't watched all that many variety shows apart from the forever-running Running Man. This one was a fun watch with lots of creative performances.

It was decent.

I was switching between 8 and 9 but went to read my own definitions on how I'm rating, and put it at 9. I feel so stingy with my ratings lately, lol. It was a fun romance movie, with some cliches, but still overall entertaining.

Funny moments and plot twists, but dayum the movie was long.

I guess the plot was solid, but I just wasn't overly impressed.

I watched the first episode fifteen years ago... lol. Rewatched episode 1 and completed the entire thing this year. I kind of have problems with watching older shows, because the style was so different back then, and it somehow bothers me more than it should... But this one I actually enjoyed watching, so I'm happy I got it out of my list finally!

Cool skydiving scene! Anyway... should have trusted my instinct of probably finding this a bit boring, after reading the synopsis and looking at the top tags. Decided to give it a try anyway, because apparently, my friends have rated it high. It probably had a high budget and so on, but I was so thoroughly bored for the 2+ hours this movie took.

Very good production value and the story was interesting. Acting was also great. Genres list horror but it didn't have any jump scare type, so it's still watchable to those who are too scared to watch horror movies because of jump scares.

Someone is going to think she's my favorite actress soon, because this is my third title from them this year, haha. But I honestly rarely look at the cast when I decide what to watch (plus this one was picked by a random number generator from my PTW Japanese films list).

Congratulations on becoming the first title in five years I gave a 10 to! I loved this movie and still have goosebumps after watching it. The acting was really good and the soundtrack supported the scenes well.

Some cute moments, and overall an okay film.

I liked the first two episodes, but for some reason found the last episode quite boring.

I was going to watch the Thai drama with the same name, but accidentally chose this one instead. Happy accident, anyway.

When 19 episodes were out, I watched all 19 in one go. It was quite enjoyable. Watched the last episode a few days after it aired and thought the ending was very abrupt.

Good story and character development.

What the? Jerks everywhere.

Every consecutive episode was more and more unhinged.

The story is good, but I felt a little bored because I saw most of it already from the drama I started long ago (but couldn't finish for many reasons).

I haven't been this thoroughly bored for a long time. I'd have given it a 5, but it felt too harsh taking into account the work they put into the special effects... I guess the boredom was partly from already having seen the anime, so there wasn't much to catch my interest here.

This movie made me hungry! I've been trying to find a recipe for the red bean cake she made without luck. Maangchi has a red bean cake recipe, but it looks nothing like in this movie.

Watched it with my husband. It was alright I guess, but it left a lot of things open, which seems to be what Netflix loves doing so they can milk another season.

Interesting plot twist. I liked how the start and end of the movie were connected.

At first I was thinking maybe I expected too much from the movie, but after second half started, I changed my mind and ended up giving it an 8.

I think the plot was so-so, about 6, but I gave it a 7 for all the, from what I could tell, skilled fight scenes. I'm just not a fan of fight scenes myself.

I wasn't very impressed after the first two episodes, but it got better and I really enjoyed it towards the end.

I feel like this drama has a lot of lost potential. I really wanted to like it, but it was just 'okay'.

This is one of the first dramas I ever started back in 2006. What in the actual... I had dropped this before, but decided to go and finish some of my dropped dramas. What a mistake.

It was quite boring at first, but the ending redeemed it a little.

Quite an interesting documentary about COVID-19.

So-so. Watched it while multitasking.

Very beautiful scenery, but the scene changing is incredibly slow. The dialogue feels like it's coming from someone's pocket recording, while you get to see both the destroyed and the pretty landscapes.

The jump scares... my heart... my neighbors... I screamed four times. It was incredibly boring until almost to end and then they decided to dump all of the scary bits there.

Too experimental for me.

It featured a lot of different life stories. Unfortunately, I had a bit of trouble keeping up (wandering focus), and for that I'm giving it just a 6.

Started it on a long train trip. The CGI was fine and the story was alright. I was alternating between 7 and 6, but decided on the latter because I kept losing focus.

It took me very long to start this because of all the hype, but now that I did I actually enjoyed it. The storyline is interesting and all the actors, even guest, are doing a good job.

Still very good acting and an interesting plot. I'd have given the second part a 10, but I guessed the last two lives and the ending, and while some people might think that improves the rating for them, predictability is pretty much always a minus for me.

This document didn't do it for me but maybe it appeals to people who like artsy no dialogue movies. I was missing a narration that would explain things. The documentary mainly consisted of videos of different things and some interviews, but mostly just silence (if the sound of nature and traffic doesn't count).

Kept me hooked from start to finish, especially once I got past the female lead being a bit annoying at first. Luckily she grew out of that. The OST was great and I'm giving bonus points for it (the OST, not the drama; felt like I needed to clarify) because of ATEEZ's Jongho's song. I’m trying to ignore all those TikTok K-drama skit videos using one of the other OST songs, but unfortunately, those are all I can think of now when I hear it.

The documentary was an interesting mix of food preparation and the origins of the dishes. There were scenes showing food preparation and also interviews. While some of the food looked unappetizing, particularly the intestines, most of it looked yummy and I'm glad I didn't watch this hungry. Extra comment: one of the cured meats resembled a stone, lol...

The documentary offers an interesting glimpse into Ye Jia Ying’s life and her impact on Chinese classical poetry. It’s a bit hard to follow at times, but that might just be me. Still, it’s a cool look at how she bridged traditional and modern poetry, despite going through some tough times. The cinematography is gorgeous.

Very cute baby cheetah. Don't watch if you can't handle animal death. The first episode was interesting but towards the end, I felt like I had seen some of the scenes already..?

This documentary sheds light on the last 22 Chinese women forced into prostitution by the Japanese army during WWII, and it’s a must-watch. The filmmakers do a great job of letting these women share their stories without sensationalism.

It's an important subject so I feel sorry for getting bored watching it. Maybe my documentary tolerance is filling for this month...

This film made me extremely uncomfortable and quite anxious.
