r/KDRAMA Challenge 2023

r/KDRAMA Challenge 2023. Usually, I am a person who watch the ongoing dramas and also maybe the dramas that were just completed. This year, I am trying to organise the dramas I watch by trying to fit them in the challenge. I also want to complete few of my forever plan to watch list dramas as well.

    I had previously watched this drama till 5th episode and put it on-hold. I restarted the drama. Both Go Min Si and Lee Do Hyun portrays the whole story very well. And the drama is an emotional roller-coaster. You can see the scars and the pain that is hidden in the eyes of easy-going Lee Do Hyun and strong-willed Go Min Si.

    (Completed on 01/01/2023)

    Drama portraying bullying which might be hard to watch. Overall, I liked the drama. Very different from the usual roles played by Song Hye Kyo.  Even if they had hinted Lee Do Hyun's past initially it felt a bit forced later on.

  • Mad for Each Other

    23. Mad for Each Other

    Korean Drama - 2021, 13 episodes

    23. A drama with at least one animal pet

    Started the drama due to many reasons. It was in my search recommendations. The director's previous works include Age of Youth season1 & 2. But I decided to go with this challenge in the end.
