-

Start Date: 10-20-22 || Finish Date: 12-25-22

-
3. Imawa no Kuni no Alice Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

-
4. Behind Every Star
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
WHERE WAS THE ENDING??? and the show was MEH 98% of the time, everything would've been solved easily if these agents were more honest instead of lying and covering it badly....
-
5. Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area - Part 2
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
Start Date: 12-9-22 || Finish Date: 12-11-22
i didn't like what they did to some of these characters, and i didn't feel attach to any of them, SEOUL was cool though!
-
6. Connect
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
Start Date: 12-8-22 || Finish Date: 12-8-22
THIS WAS SO DUMB!!! like it could've been a bang, but with an annoying dumb male lead what one can expect ??...... at least the female lead was good and smart an knew how to survive on her own!!
-
7. Weak Hero Class 1
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Start Date: 12-6-22 || Finish Date: 12-7-22
what a GOOD surprise this drama was!! very intriguing with a good cast! eveything flow nicely from start to finish. a hidden gem!
-
8. First Love: Hatsukoi
Japanese Drama - 2022, 9 episodes
Start Date: 12-1-22 || Finish Date: 12-4-22
i enjoyed watching this one and liked enough... but i had some issues with it, yae's mom was in the wrong here, namiki should've broke his engagement with his fiance the minute he started looking for yae, the guy knew his heart was still with yae even after all those years..... there's also the son/the dancer plot which was off since he was so young, and to make it worse have his mother yae be their biggest supporter?????????!!..
-
9. Somebody
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Start Date: 11-18-22 || Finish Date: 11-20-22
this felt more like a western production than a korean one, it had an interesting premise, and that cop got to be one of dumbest out there ??..
-
10. One Dollar Lawyer
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Start Date: 10-24-22 || Finish Date: 11-11-22
this drama started out as this fun wacky drama with quirky characters, then we got the backstory of our lead and thought now we have a direction the drama is going to, only for them to cut the drama short to 12eps, and the said they cut it to keep the quality of the drama BUT THAT WAS ONE BIG LIEEEEE!! what followed after those episodes were fillers to serves nothing to the plot... they managed to end it all in one episode though.... NAMGOONG MIN the actor that you are!!!!!!
-
11. Seasons of Blossom
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Start Date: 9-22-22 || Finish Date: 11-2-22
the older actors/characters carried this drama, as the younger ones were green rookies who still have a long road ahead of them to improve.. hamin/somang were so heartbreaking, and it was about time to see somang letting go of the guilt she carried for years....
-
12. Shut Up: Flower Boy Band
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
Start Date: 10-21-22 || Finish Date: 10-26-22
this was a decent music youth drama, didn't expect the ending to be like that... didn't get attached to this band like i hoped i would, i found them to be a mismatched... osts were okay, though they stuck in my mind for a while since i binged it... the loveline was weak and so was the fl sadly ://....
-
13. Glitch
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Start Date: 10-7-22 || Finish Date: 10-12-22
i came in thinking i would watch some weird FUN drama about two weirdos... i got the weirdos but NOT THE FUN ://////////.... it was a let down to say the least............. the missing "ex"-boyfriend could've been easily replaced with a sibling/cousin/friend/etc......... and they should've made it shorter like 6eps...
-
14. Little Women
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Start Date: 9-3-22 || Finish Date: 10-9-22
make no mistake, this's a makjang, and a very well done one, interesting set of characters -well mostly-... KIM GOEUN ATE!! injoo was made for her.... the direction and cinematography were so PERFECT!!! one of the best of '22.
-
15. Once Upon a Small Town
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Start Date: 9-5-22 || Finish Date: 9-28-22
started out as cute and nice, but it didn't pull me all the way through, somehow those 30mins eps felt much longer than that... i think shorter eps would've been much better!! i like the green sceneries of it, it was relaxing i have to say..
-
16. Falling into Your Smile
Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes
Start Date: 9-16-22 || Finish Date: 9-23-22
i thought i was over the cute, fluffy drama, but this drama came in and proved me wrong!!!!!!!!!! such a CUTEEEE drama filled with fluffiness... the main otp were so cute and adorbs... the drama had its hiccups but that didn't stop me from enjoying it all!! the whole ZGDX team was something with each having their dreams and personalities and supporting each other... the osts were so nice!! a fav for sure!!!!
-
17. Adamas
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Start Date: 7-28-22 || Finish Date: 9-16-22
a drama with not just one jisung but TWO JISUNG but for it to be a snoozefest there was no point really of them being twins, i didn't feel any connection between the two, it's just that the writer wanted the ml to be at two places at once........ though the quality of production of this one was very high!!! disappointing drama overall.................. and the fact they were aiming for a second season is so laughable.......
-
18. Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Start Date: 8-2-22 || Finish Date: 9-7-22
reasons i picked up this drama: kim minjae, kim hyanggi and the fact it was short 12eps a drama............. you can imagine my disappointment when it turned out this have a 2nd season.............. the first season was nice and easy drama........ love the found family in this one..
-
19. Tabiya Okaeri
Japanese Drama - 2022, 4 episodes
Start Date: 8-22-22 || Finish Date: 8-27-22
nice relaxing drama, the cinematography of this one was so well done!!! good to pass time by..
-
20. Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Start Date: 7-1-22 || Finish Date: 8-18-22
a drama that started out so good, with a nice set-up, endearing characters, an interesting cases... but sadly, it had so many hiccups in the road..... and my biggest issue is the writer villainizing the mother!!!!! youngwoo had so many relationships with women she came across as an attorney, yet not her biological mom, and they messed up building a relationship with her younger brother too.............. and not to mention the forced lovelive between the 2ndry characters :////... the resolution to some of the cases left me ://// .........
-
21. A Model Family
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Start Date: 8-12-22 || Finish Date: 8-14-22
the ml was so unlikable!! man dug his own grave and his family graves too........ and he's quite spineless it was hard to even root for him.... this should've been told from park hee soon character pov, he was interesting and they could've explore him more.... good thing is all episode were kept under 50mins~ so....
-
22. Dear X Who Doesn't Love Me
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Start Date: 7-15-22 || Finish Date: 7-29-22
at the end this had a nice massage, yet the way how the story went was a meh, the fl kept making this decision/choice despite knowing how it'll end eventually which made her for me at least bit hard to like.............
-
23. Doctor Lawyer
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Start Date: 6-4-22 || Finish Date: 7-23-22
JAYDEN LEE saved this messy drama, he was the most interesting drama and actually the character that moved the plot forward without him we would have needed 100eps for the lead to even open his own clinic revoke his medical license, supply his clinic and even getting a step closer to the antagonist .... and yet they gave him a shitty ending... he should've flew back the us with yuna and they lived there as that powerful couple!!!
-
24. Remarriage and Desires
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Start Date: 7-15-22 || Finish Date: 7-16-22
i was ready for a fast paced full on MAKJANG drama, a stressfull drama that will boil one blood, and would make one pull their own hair BUT....... for a short makjang drama this wasn't filled with much.... it lacked that epic confrontation between out two ladies, that fl husband was a trash so i felt no sympathy towards him.... also i didn't feel the fl lead attraction twoards either men, and our antiagonist were taking down easily, she fell into a silly trap so easily.........
-
25. Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area - Part 1
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
Start Date: 6-24-22 || Finish Date: 6-24-22
such a LETDOWN DRAMA!!!!!!!! a remake that doesn't live up to its original, they tried to gave it its own flavor but failed... most of these characters are a SHELL of what they should've been, the professor didn't have the smart, tokyo barely had a presence in the plot beside the first episode and her being the narrator which is really sad for a main strong character!!!!!!!! and the gang felt disconnected and didn't have any bond with each other sadly...................
-
26. Our Blues
Korean Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
Start Date: 4-10-22 || Finish Date: 6-12-22
such a let down drama for me, i couldn't care about lots of these characters, good cast in an average drama...........
-
27. Love All Play
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Start Date: 4-21-22 || Finish Date: 6-10-22
the first four episode were nice, cute and fun, then it became dull and boring, i didn't care much about these characters ://
-
28. My Liberation Notes
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Start Date: 4-10-22 || Finish Date: 5-29-22
such a great drama, i was able to enjoy it! i skipped on sibling story as i dislike the actor yet was still able to enjoy what i watched, the writer did good job creating this world and the characters... yet i wanted to be a bit different for one sibling as i know she deserved better!!
-
29. Green Mothers' Club
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Start Date: 4-6-22 || Finish Date: 5-26-22
well for a while this was a crazy entertaining drama, even though the fl was frustrating i was able to root for her for a little while, her, jaewoong and their kids had that potential to be that family sticking together through the good and the bad! UNTIL the writers decided to make the FL SO DUMB!!! what she did in e15 was a disaster, her choices there was so DUMB AND ILLOGICAL!! eunpyo lost her story/character to prop the 2fl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the woman who nearly ruined her & her family life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! instead of realizing her worth and working over her inferior complex and realizing she's enough THEY GAVE HER RUBBishhhhhhhhhhhh! didn't feel this negative towards a FL IN A LONG TIMEEEEEEE!!!!!! the only characters that mattered in this mess was JAEWOONG and THEIR ADORABLE 2 KIDS!!!!!!!!
-
30. Shanai Marriage Honey
Japanese Drama - 2020, 7 episodes
Start Date: 5-19-22 || Finish Date: 5-22-22
cute straight forward rom-com!!!!!!!! it made me all giddy... light and fluffy done right,
-
31. The Sound of Magic
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
Start Date: 5-6-22 || Finish Date: 5-7-22
such a weak netflix drama, the characters weren't that interesting, and for a musical it didn't have any that stick with me!! but visually it was pretty....
-
32. Monstrous
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
Start Date: 4-29-22 || Finish Date: 4-30-22
talk about a LETDOWN!!!!!! this's something that could've been interesting with such a good cast........ they wasted KKH, and dongyeon&dareum were the most interesting part of it.....
-
33. Pachinko
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Start Date: 3-26-22 || Finish Date: 4-29-22
words can't discrib how well done this one made!!!!!!!!!! my heart went with Sunja, girl deserves the world... the way she endured and survived through lots of horibble things in her life...... would love for kim minha to flourish......... she was so good and carried the drama very well!
-
34. The King of Pigs
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Start Date: 3-21-22 || Finish Date: 4-25-22
i started this out of curiosity knowing nothing about the animation movie it was adapted from and it turned out so so so GOOD!!! one of the best '22 dramas so far, every actor brought their best giving life to these characters esp. KDW&KSK such a marvelous job, and also cheolie actor ??....... such a tragic drama that everyone should give a try!
-
35. Grid
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Start Date: 2-18-22 || Finish Date: 4-20-22
the opening episode got me curious about the plot and how it will unfold, only to be met with more and more questions with bare any answered?? such a waste of time and a nice cast.........
-
36. Thirty-Nine
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Start Date: 2-16-22 || Finish Date: 3-31-22
with tweaks in the story such as changing the fl, and more balance between the three ladies, changing the ml as they had no chemistry, no emotional affair and instead 2 old friends/ex-lovers reconnecting again.... would have made this a great drama but what we got was average at best, and it was carried by the actors........ i might start avoiding this writer dramas in the future and only pick her movies....
-
37. Biggest Fan
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
Start Date: 3-19-22 || Finish Date: 3-19-22
the bar was so low with this one and still it was much more worse than i expected........ i only watched it for hyeonsoo but even her was bad in this one..... this little project managed to bring the worst out of everyone................... hodu must've hated hyeonsoo so much to let her be part of something this bad :////
-
38. Someday or One Day
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 13 episodes
Start Date: 3-14-22 || Finish Date: 3-18-22
i started this with very low expectation given the hype/praise it got, i just didn't want to get dissappointed by it.. and IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD!!! HEARTBREAKING!! A MASTERPIECE!! everything was so good.... one of the best dramas out there...
-
39. The School Nurse Files
Korean Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
Start Date: 3-6-22 || Finish Date: 3-7-22
the enjoyable drama that didn't make much sense........ like i didn't get much of what's going on but i had fun watching it... a wacky "anime" drama.... yumi's acting is no joke... how did she acted all of this with straight face?..........
-
40. Juvenile Justice
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Start Date: 2-25-22 || Finish Date: 2-28-22
this drama would've been much better had it focused on the kids and was shorten to 6~7eps... and only had the first two cases and the last one as it ties our fl with her feelings towards these kids, the acting from kim hyesoo is TOP NOTCH!! and nothing less is expecting from her....
-
41. Our Secret
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
Start Date: 1-18-22 || Finish Date: 2-23-22
i wanted to like this more than i did, as it was cute and fluffy... but it really lacked that gripping plot, and the characters while cute didn't have that strong impression on me...
-
42. Dr. Park’s Clinic
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Start Date: 1-16-22 || Finish Date: 2-20-22
this was fun and light little drama, it gave me what it promised.... the characters were fun, the main family was very likable. those colleague doctors can be overbearing like yet they have their moments.... the secretary mom and her son were my favorite... nice drama to pass time.
-
43. The One and Only
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Start Date: 12-23-21 || Finish Date: 2-15-22
this was such a disappointing boring dull drama, i wanted a drama about the girls friendship and their revenge against those who wronged them, and more stories about the hospice patients , a tragic romance with no childhood connections, etc.......... instead we got a boring murder case, the police and the leads running in circle, you can skip a big chunk of this and you wont miss anything...... i'm so avoiding this writer from now on!
-
44. All of Us Are Dead
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Start Date: 1-28-22 || Finish Date: 1-29-22
i have been waiting for this for a very long time! but it was worth the wait... the drama was good with some interesting characters... sadly could'nt care much for the first FL but the rest three main were interesting and really good!!
-
45. Shinbun Kisha
Japanese Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
Start Date: 1-15-22 || Finish Date: 1-17-22
such a great drama! the way these characters written and presented was so so good! the plot was simple and direct... giving voice to the voiceless people, stand by them and get their voice heard... the only downside is that i dislike the political stuff in general so...
-
46. Reincarnation Love
Korean Special - 2022, 1 episode
Start Date: 1-3-22 || Finish Date: 1-3-22
i wanted to like this mini ad as a whole as i wanted to heal my youth of may broken heart, but the first half of it was cringe-fest, i liked the bit when they went in a date outside that resturant right before the ads kicked in again.................... basically only liked like 2minutes of this already short ad!
