5. Psychopath Diary
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
The first drama that got me so confused with my own emotions. I was happy and sad, laughing and feeling sorry, frustrated and entertained... at the same time. It was one hell of a ride, but I had so much FUN watching this. Super good!
-
6. Woman of 9.9 Billion
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
This is a drama of complex, interesting, and morally grey characters packed in a crazy plotline. It's a CIRCUS, yes, but... a PIECE OF ART, nonetheless. Unpredictable. It kept me on the edge of my seat. 'Definitely worth watching. Plus, BRILLIANT CAST! BRAVO!!!
-

8. Diary of a Prosecutor
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

-
9. Hot Stove League
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
This is one of those dramas that I didn't expect I would like at first, but ended up loving it so much. It was very inspiring! 'Showed how difficult it is (fulfilling, at same time) to build a SOLID TEAM. Whether you're into sports drama or not, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this!
-
10. Crash Landing on You
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
This is a very scenic and beautiful drama. I'm glad I didn't drop this in the middle. The ending was so good. It was worth it. This story showed that love waits and exceeds expectations, possibilities, and even (political) boundaries. This tackled serious issues in a very soft and simple way, that one can easily understand. Yes, this drama is a lot more. The OSTs are lit and heavenly as well. This is heartwarming and refreshing. Simply, BEAUTIFUL. I love it!
-
11. My Holo Love
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
I didn't expect that this drama will turn a little bit serious and involve fake death, intense hiding from the society, kidnapping, falling from the highest floor inside an elevator, and murder. It turned out not so common afterall! It was a good watch! I LOVE IT!
-
12. Money Game
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
There are a lot of things I wanna say but for now, I'll settle for this: I LOVE everything abou this drama — OST, cinematography, pace, plot, script, lessons, superb acting, complex but meaningful characters! It's a bit complicated (theme and terms) but it is BEAUTIFUL. A masterpiece.
-
13. The Game: Towards Zero
Korean Drama - 2020, 32 episodes
This drama had great potential at first, but then, as the story progressed, it plummeted and fully crashed down. There were so many flaws and illogical scenes. The acting was also stiff and not convincing at all. However, I LOVE the cinematography and OST. Kudos!
-
14. Kingdom Season 2
Korean Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
-
15. The Cursed
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
The very thing that dragged me into watching this drama is its darkish & mysterious atmosphere. I love the concept, the characters, the pacing, the OST. The actors did so well (especially the villains — creepy smiles are creepy indeed). Overall, it was GREAT! Season 2, please?
-
16. Tell Me What You Saw
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
This is another crime drama full of PSYCHOS. It's gruesome, yes, but most of the bloody parts were censored anyway, so it is bearable. The plot is good. A bit tricky. The pace is a little unstable — fast, then slow, then fast again. Overall, it was GOOD! I like it.
-
17. Forest
Korean Drama - 2020, 32 episodes
Plot's quite a mess. Script's not that memorable. The story is all over the place. Genre? I cannot tell. I don't exactly hate it. Only, it didn't get to me. I guess, this is just a passing drama. But, the OST is great! That's what I honestly LOVE! Kudos!
-
18. Ouroboros
Japanese Drama - 2015, 10 episodes
This is a good drama, nice and unpredictable. It was very intriguing and intense at the end. Great cast. Love the DUO! I had fun watching this. I probably won't forget about "omelet rice". LOL! If you're looking for a good crime jdrama, I definitely recommend this!
-
19. Hi Bye, Mama!
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
This is a drama composed of nicest characters. No antagonist. Just LIFE (mainly about accepting death) and its realities — that it may be painful sometimes but it's beautiful & precious. Satisfying! 'Cried so many times. The cast did a great job ~ BRAVO! I highly recommend!
-
20. Nobody Knows
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
From the title down to its plot, this drama is very intriguing. It's puzzling enough to make you think. Everyone is very suspicious, to the point you will also doubt your own conclusion [TIP: Just go with the flow, dear]. Also, the pacing is good. Great cast! LOVE IT!!!
-
21. 365: Repeat the Year
Korean Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
Thrilling, unpredictable, a drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat. GREAT CONCEPT! I enjoyed the roller coaster ride of guessing "who's next?" and doubting each and every character. Well done! I LOVE IT!
-
22. A Piece of Your Mind
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Warm and comforting, that's "A Piece of Your Mind" to me. The plot is OKAY. The concept is good. The pace is SLOW, but it's relaxing. I totally LOVE the CINEMATOGRAPHY! The shots are magical. OST is enchanting. There's a lot of quotable lines. Very poetic. This drama is ART, itself.
-
23. Memorist
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Serial killer using serial killers. Crime after crime. "Who's the ULTIMATE villain?" This drama is very tricky. It will keep you guessing, only to be led to another case. Fast pace. Thrilling. I totally love the DUO. I enjoyed it very much! Overall, it was a GOOD drama!
-
24. The Victims' Game
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
'Watched this drama out of curiosity. Dark-themed. Eye-opening. It touched sensitive topics & expressed them very well. Every character is flawed, and that what makes it realistic. Cast did a great job on portraying their characters. Nice cinematography! Overall it was GOOD!
-
25. Hospital Playlist
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Inspirational LIFE drama, full of good feels. It is LIGHT, though it urged me to create theories. Unpredictable! SQUAD goals! The actors did a GREAT JOB! OSTs are GOLD! This drama is a masterpiece. A roller coaster ride. One of the BEST! Highly recommended!
-
26. Crisis: Kouan Kidou Sousatai Tokusou-han
Japanese Drama - 2017, 10 episodes
Darkish, a little sad, and a bit depressing, but the plot is GOOD. Nice pacing. Action scenes are awesome. I totally love the SQUAD! I wish there are more episodes. I wanna hug them and save them from darkness! I will miss this team, huhu.
-
27. Dinner Mate
Korean Drama - 2020, 32 episodes
Very light and just feel good. I only felt a little frustrated watching the exes continuously torture themselves and the leads. NICE OST! Pacing was okay. Only, it got a little draggy at the end. It was a nice watch. I enjoyed it! Overall, it is good!
-
28. Chip In
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
It was a short watch, but I had a lot of fun watching this drama. Dark and light. Serious and comic. I love this crazy family. They surely don't go well and go well together (at the same time). 'Didn't sympathize with the victim at all — Ugh! Overall, this is a good drama!
-
29. Train
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
This drama was interesting. It made me think as well, though it turned a little predictable at the end part. But, it was good. I was entertained. I love the leads. I particularly love the duality Yoon Shi Yoon showed in this drama (as expected of him). Nice one!
-
30. Into the Ring
Korean Drama - 2020, 32 episodes
Warm. Light. Funny. Inspiring. Moving. Pacing is like turning pages, climbing up stairs — one by one, step by step. There is process, also progress. Tackled issues that may be simple but actually deep. The leads' chemistry is also a thing. I say this drama is GOOD! I LIKE!
-
31. Girl from Nowhere
Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
I really enjoyed watching this drama! I don't know why it took me a long time to finish this, but... Tbh, it was a nice series. Dark. Witty. Tackled social issues, brought life lessons through twisted takes. Nanno is iconic, so is her laughter. S2 is coming! I'm excited!
-
32. The Good Detective
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
One of my favorites! I felt so much frustration, anger, and sadness. But then, I felt happy, satisfied, and laughed hard. This is a drama of many things — family, team, duo, and ship! Great plot! Nice pacing! Supreme BGM! Touched my heart deeply. Highly recommended!
-
33. Miman Keisatsu: Midnight Runner
Japanese Drama - 2020, 10 episodes

-
36. Graceful Friends
Korean Drama - 2020, 17 episodes
A drama full of attempts. Failed to meet expectations. Failed to bring satisfaction. It attempted to bring mystery and depth, but ended up giving mediocre, predictable, and shallow plot. Genre and direction are all over the place. Still, kudos to the cast!
-
37. The School Nurse Files
Korean Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
JELLIES! Strange, unique, cute and comical — It is an interesting short series that you can watch in one sitting. I absolutely LOVE the concept! It gives off comic superhero vibes. Cool OST/BGM. Entertaining. I really enjoyed watching this. I want MORE!
-
38. Social Syndrome
Thai Drama - 2018, 8 episodes
This is an interesting series of short stories that tackle social media issues. Creative. Witty. Dark & twisted. Issues were very much represented and delivered. Timely. I especially like "Hamsters", "Go Hoax!", and "B.O.B". I recommend, yes!
-
39. Stranger Season 2

41. The Long Night
Chinese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
-
42. Private Lives
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
A promising drama w/ a good concept. However, the pacing went very draggy. Storytelling was quite confusing & hard to follow. Monotonous. Only made colorful by the BEAUTIFUL CAST and their classy wardrobe. Nice cinematography! Interesting but not memorable enough.
-
43. Start-Up
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
First of all, it had a good concept. Beautiful cast. Interesting characters. Loved InJae and JiPyeong particularly. Nice OST. Nice cinematography. One big flaw: They dragged the love triangle too long, it overshadowed other elements. It was fun though. Overall, this drama was GOOD.
-
44. Imawa no Kuni no Alice
Japanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
The story was nice. The concept was interesting. Though most of the games were predictable (the first one was really good; the last one was very obvious), I had fun watching this. Love the action. The actors and production did great! Looking forward to S2!
-
45. Gokushufudo
Japanese Drama - 2020, 10 episodes

-
46. Sweet Home
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
I enjoyed watching this piece. It was good. Thrilling. Fast pace. Didn't reach the goriness I expected, but it was bloody, yes. The monsters were cool. Loved the characters/fighters. Deeply adored one katana boy. Felt hope and pain. Nice action. Good production. Thumbs up!
