    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    7.5

    Completed in March 2023.

    - Fun initial plot, the first few episodes were funner than the last few, I struggled to get through it in the middle since the pacing left me unbothered to continue but it was okay. 

  • Crash Course in Romance

    5. Crash Course in Romance

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    9.5

    Completed in June 2023

    WOW. I actually initially started this when it was airing but due to events in my life I ended up getting busy and had to leave it for a while but finishing it was such a delight, I fell attached to so many characters it was just so fun. 

  • Bad and Crazy

    6. Bad and Crazy

    Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HELLLO??????????? I HAD A BLAST WITH THIS DRAMA. I know I'm gonna miss it. 

  • The Good Bad Mother

    7. The Good Bad Mother

    Korean Drama - 2023, 14 episodes

    10

    Completed in June 2023.

    I CONSISTENTLY KEPT UP WITH THIS DRAMA LIKE MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT SINCE IT WAS SO GOOD?  The beginning felt-- slow, i was unsure about how much i'd actually enjoy this BUT I DID. LIKE SO MUCH. 

  • Summer Strike

    8. Summer Strike

    Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    9.0

    Completed in June 2023.

    Such a breathe of fresh air, the plot and concept was so relaxing. I love the way they present such introverted characters (as an introvert myself) it was just REALLY nice. 

  • Love to Hate You

    9. Love to Hate You

    Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    2.0

    Completed in June 2023.

    Now me not enjoying this show might be my fault. I was not willing to get attached to the characters or really feel the show and because of that i was just really uninterested which is a shame. I might rewatch it and see if my opinion changes in the future. 

  • Squid Game

    10. Squid Game

    Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes

    7.0

    Completed in June 2023

    Maybe i'm so used to seeing plots of 'death games' and 'surival games' as a plot that it just leaves me bored nowadays, I have no idea what they're gonna do w a season 2 tho. 

  • Mouse

    11. Mouse

    Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes

    5.0

    Completed in June 2023

    I have never hated watching a show so much? maybe the first episode until the eight episode was good but afterwards i never wanted to hate my life more it took 2 YEARS of putting it on and off just to finish it. This might be my fault.I was spoiled of MOST of what happened and I think that ruined my perception towards the show, plus it might've been WAY funner watching it while it was airing rather than binging it. 

  • Bloodhounds

    12. Bloodhounds

    Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    10

    Completed in July 2023


    I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN but I'm gonna keep this short. Two words. LOVED IT. I actually ended up recommending everyone I know to watch it because of how good it was. 

  • The Killer's Shopping List

    13. The Killer's Shopping List

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    Korean Drama - 2023, 6 episodes

    7.0

    Completed in July 2023.

    Uhh.... Okay. Again, the reason I probably wasn't enjoying this was cuz i wasn't attached to the characters much, BUT THE ENDING DID CRUSH ME AND MADE ME FEEL A WAVE OF EMOTIONS, I just wish i was more attached to them.

    Completed in August 2023.

    Started this show when it was airing actually.  2 years ago. TOOK ME 2 years to get the motivation to finish it. AT FIRST the premise was good. Then towards the end my god was I fighting for my life to get through it. I'm just glad it ended and its over.

  • F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers

    22. F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers

    Thai Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    10

    Completed in August 2023.

    This whole drama is GENUINELY a rollercoaster, some moments have you laughing others have you sobbing your eyes out and- others have you just screaming into your pillow out of frustration. But nonetheless, the cast was perfect, the attachment I felt throughout was genuine, and I don't believe I'll ever forget this show. Sure, it has its cliche moments and classic tropes, but I feel like that was this show's charm. Thank you, F4 Thailand for putting a wide smile on my face throughout.

  • The Eighth Sense

    23. The Eighth Sense

    Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    9.5

    Completed in August 2023.

    This drama depicted mental health struggles, trauma, and the idea surrounding one's identity in a social atmosphere in the most immersive and thoughtful way possible.

  • Lighter & Princess

    24. Lighter & Princess

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes

    10

    Completed in September 2023.


    Lighter and Princess depicts a love story filled with all sorts of twists, I had never experienced such an attachment to a show but I can say for certain, Lighter and Princess is unique and beautiful, I don't believe I can ever find a show similar to this one.

  • A Shoulder to Cry On

    25. A Shoulder to Cry On

    Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes

    7.5

    Completed in September 2023.

    Nice, refreshing show that depicts character growth and the many ways that trauma can psychologically affect someone.  It was just a chill watch with a cute ending.

  • D.P. Season 2

    26. D.P. Season 2

    Korean Drama - 2023, 6 episodes

    8.5

    Completed in September 2023.

    I'm often not a fan of shows getting a second season (Even if they end on cliff hangers), but this one managed to surprise me. I'm glad we got a conclusive story although the ending showed that there was no 'happy ending' it just goes to show the actual state of the Military Service within South Korea.  I love the way this show depicted many struggles and so many harsh realities of it all. For once, I'm glad this show got a second season. 

  • See You in My 19th Life

    27. See You in My 19th Life

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    8.0

    Completed in September 2023.

    A story that went full circle.  I remember starting this drama when it began airing on a flight, at that time 4 episodes or so came out- but then I got busy and 2 months later, I was set on completing it, now I do feel like I would've enjoyed this show A LOT MORE if i watched it while it was airing fully. I feel like maybe leaving this show did affect my whole idea surrounding it. BUT it was good, I found the FL so unique and truly truly loved her character, the ending was conclusive although it felt very rushed but the last few minutes did leave me with a massive smile on my face. Not my favorite show, but i'm happy I watched it.
