-
1. The Silent Sea
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
i cannot believe that my dad watched a kdrama with me lmao what is this. watching this felt exactly like playing an among us game, meaning it was so good, but very stressful at the same time
-
2. Queendom Restaurant
Korean TV Show - 2021, 2 episodes
love my cake girlies <3
-
3. Our Beloved Summer
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
so lovely! everything about this reminds me of pretty pinterest boards, i adored this so much :') this is how kdramas ought to be me thinks
-
4. The Red Sleeve
Korean Drama - 2021, 17 episodes
where do i even begin? this story impacted me so much. it's true that i use the word masterpiece very often and very lightly, but the word stands true the most for this beautiful story and the way it was portrayed. a flawless masterpiece. done so beautifully, it won't leave my mind <3 genuinely the best drama i have ever seen
-
5. The Red Sleeve Talk Show
Korean TV Show - 2022, 1 episode
i cried, i laughed, i miss the entire cast and crew :(
-
6. Still Walking
Japanese Movie - 2008
there's something so profoundly moving about hirokazu koreeda's films. his ability to not only portray stories beautifully through his direction, but also through his scripts will always astound me. favourite director AND screenwriter!
-
7. On Your Wedding Day
Korean Movie - 2018
meh. how am i supposed to believe they were literally crazy for each other when their whole entire love story revolves around instalove? no thanks
-
8. Business Proposal
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
cliché after cliché, very predictable, but i would be lying if i said it wasn't fun and cute. my state exams were imminent and this was the perfect escapism
-
9. Pachinko
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
pachinko made me sob uncontrollably when i read the story last year. the same can easily be said about the show but truthfully, the book was a lot better (as it tends to be imo). would have loved it more if they stuck to the original format and told the story chronologically to avoid confusion. either way, i cannot deny that they managed to adapt it beautifully <3
-
10. Age of Youth Season 2
Korean Drama - 2017, 14 episodes
so much better than season one in my opinion and i already loved and was obsessed with season one, so that's saying something! this is just fully representative of how girls in their 20s are. from both, the individual side and the friendship side. i am so glad this exists :') now we NEED the third season, it's what the girls deserve
-
11. The Throne
Korean Movie - 2015
watched this because of the red sleeve, now i'm emotionally damaged once again
-
12. Bloody Heart
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
i want to kiss the director, the screenwriter, the cinematographer, the composer, yoo jung and councilor park on the mouth, if they permit me to do so.
-
13. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
yoon hye-jin living my dream life honestly. moving to a small coastal town, starting her own business there, connecting with all the people and finding the love of her life there. i want what she has, this is the type of boring, cliché and cheesy life i want and deserve !!
-
14. Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
why did it have to end :(
-
15. The Hymn of Death
Korean Drama - 2018, 6 episodes

-
16. Little Women
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
choi doil and oh injoo deserved to be together, i deserved to see them together, louisa may alcott wanted them to be together, i am so sad. but also stories about women made for women and by women <33
-
17. 18 Again
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
might be because i was very sick while watching this, but it made me way more emotional than it should have. the flashback scenes especially got me oh my god i think i'd do anything for a drama that's solely about daeyoung and dajung raising their kids. not sure if it's because lee dohyun and han soeun were literally so perfect in those scenes or if i just want to be a parent but please i'd cry my eyes out
-
