2022 STARTED/WATCHED LIST
Dramas I started/watched dramas will be deleting ones I only seen under 4 eps, *I do add dramas in advance if I will end up binging them once they air or come out or dramas I will get to soon
Link to Movie list: https://mydramalist.com/list/4a6XXJ21/edit
THE AMOUNT OF AIRING DRAMAS THIS YEAR HOLY MOLY. It's cause all the private platforms (Viu, IQIYI, WETV, Netflix etc) have been putting money and making new dramas so we get so many. BL industry is popping off in Thailand, Japan, Korea as well so...Imma be a busy girl this year. Also the Jdramas are too damn good,
My priorities are Cdramas, Kdramas, BLs (mostly Thai and Japan), but I wanna watch at least 1 taiwanese drama, and a couple of HK dramas, this is why I rarely watch movies lol if I did I will die too many dramas

101. My Liberation Notes
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
EP 13-14 was heartbreaking and is a reminder to cherish your parents! selfless Moms who put their own lives on the back burner it was so unexpected and changed the family's dynamic. Heartbreaking this one is so emotional, the writers truly are wow. Life messages, characters and relationships are realistic, honest best and most memerable couple for me this year no doubts
She was the one holding the family together. A nice warm gray blanket. Not too loud, not too in the center, just a warm gray blanket. When it was yanked off, it set a domino effect into the siblings' lives to enter phase 2 of their liberation journey. sometimes it's the quiet support that you takefor granted that hurts the most.the nostalgia, music and camera panning to the home and how it changed from the start of the ep to the end. Wow Life is unfair at times. I really love the Yeom Fam to pieces. Slow burn to some but worth the time getting to know and love the family
Aside from liberation club members and the one friend Mi Jeong has everyone else is DISGUSTING AND FAKE have no empathy. EP 14 WAS PERFECT crying all the way through then the end was so sweet THIS DRAMA IS EVERYTHING. I am whipped for Son Sukku and Kim Ji Won CHANG HEE'S CHARACTER ARC AND GROWTH IS PHENOMENAL SO PROUD OF HIM
how it depicted human relations, helping me appreciate the people in my life and opening me up to accept those to come in the future that my old self may never have done. Every relationship in this drama mattered and that's what made it so special. The ending is open but realistic, they are all changing slowly so many profound lines hereyou think you will be the better you or happy at a certain age by 25, 30 or 40, but you will be the same, so even 5 MINS OF HAPPINESS and learning to realize your suffering, being honest and growing is what matters

102. Eve
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
SEO YEA JI'S EYES, rage, pain and seduction is SO GOOD I disagree that this is just a beauty role for her to flex I think if you actually watch there's so many scenes that are really hard to act, i know it's over the top dramatric but that's the point of these revenge messy shows no? I'm addicted and fully on board to see how it all plays out
THE ENDING WAS MESSY and disappointing. the poor lawyer deserves better
-
103. A Dream of Splendor
Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes
-
104. Kiss Sixth Sense
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
romance is bomb idc about any other plots or characters though
-
105. Jinxed at First
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
SEUL BI AND SOO KWANG ARE SO CUTE they are the wholesome chaotic duo I stan <3 Love the whole market gang too this is gonna be so good! Enjoyed the first 2 eps so much it's so fun a bit of mystery, instense moments now we got the debt collectors intro too lets see where this goes I like that he may be shady but he has morals or things he refuses to do that's so cool he's like nuh uh human trafficking is off the table and serious crimes too seems like he's doing it for his kid

106. Rosy Business Season 2: No Regrets
Hong Kong Drama - 2010, 32 episodes
-
107. A Fist Within Four Walls
Hong Kong Drama - 2016, 28 episodes
-
108. Kimi no Koto Dake Mite Itai
Japanese Drama - 2022, 4 episodes
-
109. Anna
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
Anna is a wonderful slow burn story that at first never hooked me but as i watched 3 eps I found myself intrigued, it's not mindblowing story wise but acting is impressive this depressed hopeless girl spiralling but not in an over the top Eve type of way is still tense and addictive, that final ep really bumped it from a 6.5 to a 7 for me, some may find this boring or they might think there's not so much happening that is unpredictable which totally get, but i still enjoyed it as a 3 hour binge and perhaps me binge watching shows made it feel exciting compared to waiting weekly for the episodes either way it's a new look on Suzy her previous roles she's been trying to do a lot moving away from that idol romance drama only image but Vagabond was okay, and here Anna she did shine and if you think she's dull sometimes i think that's the point it feels like she's lifeless and has no joy in her life anymore i think her acting improved a lot .

-
115. Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai!
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
it's like kieta hatsukoi but not as good, still super fun for those misunderstanding vibes plus the goodluck guy is so handsome haha the cool one and cute ml trope is a bit old but a perfect nightly watch for a palette refresher, i needed this type of drama to not think about and just enjoy the short rom-com
-
116. Bloody Heart
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
not a fan was expecting more brilliant planning but kinda got messy confusing and some characters felt like their plot was too rushed, the romance was too little for me to care was there even chemistry there after the first 2 eps I can't tell it was all crying and i found myself unmotivated to continue but carried on begrudgingly since i was already 70% completed so yeah good actors plot meh i've seen better

Chinese Drama - 2022, 38 episodes
my weakness is xianxias and cheng yi from love and redemption so yeah I'm addicted to this one.

-
126. Love Between Fairy and Devil
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
SO GOOD? surprisingly? Like sure the FL's voice and character can be a bit cutesy for comfort but I'm used to Yu Shuxin's bubbly cute personality from YWY3 so not mad, dylan's acting improved so much from miss the dragon, and the body swap and link to the FL is hilarious he be lke I'm a badass villain the world has to bow at my feet but then she cries and he also cries and is all "god dammit this again" very overprotective alpha type CGI IS SO GOOD IT'S NUTS 10x higher quality than the big budget Immortal samsara which is SAD tencent whatchu doing? did you spend all the money on the actors or something? cause the effects looks CHEAP
