2025 - Finished Dramas/TV Shows
SPOILERS FOR EACH DRAMA/TV SHOW BELOW (It's just my own opinion after watching)
-
1. Siren: Survive the Island
Korean TV Show - 2023, 10 episodes
10/01/25 - 12/01/25
It was alright. At the beginning I wasn't enjoying it that much, but then when I got to 4 +- I got more used to it. I guess I was expecting more different matches but it was almost always the "take the flag" game lol I liked the team that won, them and the firefighters were my favourite ones, they were charismatic lol I also had such a crush on the two athletes with short hair lol
Anyway, always great to see strong women and it was nice to have a concept focused on female professionals in male dominated jobs and stuff. Overall, it was alright/ok, had to watch this one on 1.5x speed but if there is a season 2 of this I might watch it as well, hopefully they make changes that make it more engaging as well.

2. Family Matters
Korean Drama - 2024, 6 episodes

Weird but interesting drama with morally grey characters. It was different, so I like that aspect of it. I would have changed some stuff (especially with the last ep) but I liked it overall.
I hate that "respect/love your parents even though they're shit", that lady was not their mom like wtf? "Oh she raised you" more like kidnapped me and kept me captive. Should have just killed her.
I wish they did not show the SA and r**** scenes so much and in such an explicit manner idk, felt a bit like "let's show this to shock people" since they kept showing the scenes and photos over and over again.
I think the detective actor was a bit like "I'm acting" sometimes lol
Last ep was kinda underwhelming imo, and it dragged, I think it's because I did not care for those two villain kids, so when they took such a long time with the kids fighting them + the grandpa fighting that dude I was just like, can we get on with it lol The main villain was also kinda so over the top lol Talking about over the top, ok I get that they're evil and pretending to be catholic, can u stop saying amen and hallelujah every sentence lol I enjoyed the 5 first eps more than the last one, but like I said, still a nice drama I think. It was a very sad reveal that she was the one that made her husband protect her at all costs T_T but at least he does truly love her.
So yeah, hope season 2 releases soon because it ended on a cliffhangerrr T_T If the plan was hers then she must have used her powers on herself somehow to make her forget or something? Also maybe grandpa is a mole? Since he stopped her from killing the shitty mom. I hope we see the twins' powers properly as well. -
3. Elite League
Korean TV Show - 2023, 8 episodes
10/01/25 - 14/01/25
I liked it, the challenges were very fun to watch~ I was cheering for the SNU team lol My favourite was the dude who had a perfect score on the CSAT.
Thought Team Harvard would be better, ngl, they were the weakest team.
The round at the end of ep6, the one at the end of ep7 and then the final ep were so nerve-racking omg lol The scream I let out once the team I was rooting for won lool
Glad the 2 final teams were those ones~ I would have liked Yonsei to have been the third team instead of Harvard but I'll take what I can get lol -
4. When the Phone Rings
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
15/01/25 - 17/01/25
Cliche: the k-drama. The plot was very weak tbh and very dumb at times lol It was entertaining in the way a bad soap opera is entertaining. Characters making dumb decisions all around especially the FL omg she was so dumbbbb and on top of that she also had this constant look on her face that made it seem like she was in pain all the time (cara de sonsa total), she just annoyed me a lot. Twists were predictable. Some moments made me cringe so hard. I think almost everyone acted well, the only person I can think of rn that I did not like the acting of most of the time was the main girl.I shipped the main couple and I liked and shipped the SML and SFL (kinda fell in love with her, she was so cute, hope the actress gets a main role soon), even though they didn't have that much to do in the story, but that's about it, I would not recommend this to people unless u want something short to turn your brain off to lol There are way better dramas out there, this one is for when you wanna enjoy a fanfic, but even if you wanna just focus on the couple, u still gotta sit through the dumb plot. They could have spent less time on some stuff and focused on giving the second couple more development, so it would not be so abrupt that they're getting married at the end. We did not even get a hug like wtf? They had so much chemistry.
Can't believe the dude's mom got a TV in her prison cell lol FL's mom suddenly caring was shit, random redemption for everyone in her family at the end like what? And what a stupid-ass finale. Wow.
