Who needs sleep when you can have Kdramas?!
So….I binge-watched it for 12h straight…Do I regret it?No….not at all.(But I do need to make smarter life choices )I didn’t expect to like this,at all. But I did! Usually I don’t like long dramas( more than 32 episodes), because it can feel really forced after some time. This was such a beautiful(and hilarious)story of family and relationships .Loved the plot ,all of the story arcs were really thought thru ,well directed and the acting was amazing! I really recommend you to go in blind because that’s how I did it and didn’t regret it. Overall an amazing drama,would highly recommend for you to check it out .

Gave me Deja Vu feeling
Plot : I was excited about this drama ,I love Hwang Jung Eum and almost all of her dramas are in my favorite list. And both of the love interests are really great actors who I enjoy. This had everything I love in a drama : past lives, fantasy aspect,lots of cute moments,very well done love triangle...so why I didn't absolutely love it? This was almost the same as "Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter",the idea was the same...the main love interests were the same actors...The main difference was this one is more realistic,but that's basically it.I was disappointed,maybe if I haven't seen Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter I would absolutely love this one.THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE(S)?:
This is the situation when the second love interest has better chemistry with the main lead actress. I will not spoil anything,but....the chemistry was through the roof !
HOW IT ENDS:*Mild Spoilers*
The big theme of this drama was " Not getting married",and well it ended on that. It wasn't bad,or good...just mehhh.

The controversial “Backstreet Rookie”, was it any good?
Plot : Let’s start with, why it’s controversial. From what I read online, the main complaint was it’s too raunchy and of course the caricature of “Reggae boy”. But putting it all aside, It’s a pretty unique love story. First of all,it’s realistic. The main love interest isn’t some rich guy with a multimillion company, but just your average hard-working guy. To be honest the first 2 episodes I didn’t like, after the 4 episode I started to really enjoy it…but the two last episodes were a disappointment.Overall I would recommend it if you are tired of the cliche k-drama plots and want something fresh and more “grown-up” , but still silly and funTHE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE(S)?:
So our main couple is Choi Dae-Hyun and Jung Saet-Byul ,yes we do get a little love triangle situation but it was gone half way of the show,so I don’t feel like it’s relevant to talk in this context. Was there chemistry between Choi Dae-Hyun and Jung Saet-Byul? Yes and No,let me explain…First 4 episodes you could feel the awkwardness,I don’t know how or why,but you could feel they are not really comfortable with each other. After that I started to see the chemistry,but in my opinion, there were not enough cute scenes overall and that’s a shame!
HOW IT ENDS:*Mild Spoilers*
I was disappointed…they tried to wrap up all the loose ends in one episode…ONE EPISODE!!! And you could really tell they where rushing…the actual ending wasn’t that bad,just the feel of the whole episode was bad…sorry not sorry

“It’s Okay to Not Be Okay”…was okay
PLOTThis was very unique, the plot was really good. It has mystery, romance, mental health awareness. Felt like a Tim Burton movie, but kdrama edition and I love it. But….it wasn’t the best. The actors did an amazing job, but the script…felt like something was missing. Don’t get me wrong I loved it, just I expected a little bit more of it.
Trigger warning- child abuse
THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE(S)?
Both of the actors did an amazing job, you could really feel the “love”! I truly enjoyed the relationship. The chemistry was there and that’s great.
HOW IT ENDS*Mild Spoilers*
I liked the ending,it was very heartwarming. The end twist was good.Yes, I figured it out, but I usually do…so not mad about it!

PLOT: I thought it would solely about the romance(and how it blooms), but it was so much more than that. This drama (in my opinion) is about growing as a person, finding yourself even when people say you are too old for that. For me, the publishing house was the real star of this drama and the staff of it was the perfect “backdrop” for our heroes to grow. I loved how books were the center of some plots and the big “plot twist”.
THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE: I felt like Lee Jong Suk who played Cha Eun Ho was much more confident and relaxed, then Lee Na-young who played Kang Dan-i, when they acted the love scenes. But despise that the chemistry was good, I “believed” in this couple and that’s the whole point, isn’t it?
OUR SECOND LOVE INTEREST: Wi Ha-Joon who played Ji Seo Joon is our second love interest and weirdly the “only” love interest that is going somewhere for like the first 5/6 episodes, it was unexpected, to say the least. I liked him sometimes more than our main love interest.
HOW IT ENDS: The ending wasn’t rushed and I appreciate it, but was it satisfying? Yes and No. All the plot wholes we did see resolved in the last episode but I don’t know, didn’t feel satisfied with the ending. Felt like something was missing.

“Train” pleasantly surprised me
PLOT: I don’t know what I expected from this drama…but I got a totally different thing! Like it was GOOD, truly good. Lots of blood, a fascinating mystery, and a great main hero. The acting was good, sometimes too intense in my opinion but not painfully so…It was still enjoyable. It’s similar to Welcome2Life, so if you liked it you will love this too!It’s a real thriller mystery, so if you don’t like those, skip this one!
THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE(S)?:
Okay, this one was weird! We didn’t get a “couple” at all, it was just “I like you/love you” type of situation, but they were never together. Was there chemistry between the actors? Yes, definitely!
HOW IT ENDS:
*Mild Spoilers*
I was disappointed, it was an open ending …and If you didn’t know I don’t like those. That’s why it’s not a 10-star drama.

Kdrama I fell in love with!
Plot :I finished watching it yesterday, and guys…this is GOOD! First starting this drama it gave me BIG Hotel La luna vibes(at first), but then it became something different… and I love it! The only critic I have,it has just 12 episodes…and I do feel it needed more.If you like past lives, paranormal, comedy-dramas you will LOVE this one.
THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE(S)?:
We have (kinda) two couples. The first one is Han Kang-Bae and Kang Yeo-Rin, Omg they were soooo cute! Such good chemistry and the cute moments….just awwwww. And the second couple was Manager Gwi and Wol-Ju. I loved the bickering and the low-key flirting. It was nice to see a more mature couple in such a drama.
HOW IT ENDS:
*Mild Spoilers*
It felt rushed….and too short! Yes, we get all the plot holes filled, but it was rushed. Overall I liked the ending.

Was….like…what?!
Plot : Mmmkay, I expected this one to be like W-Two world or Hotel Del Luna ,but I got Room .It started a little bit silly,lighthearted…yes we had this big event at the start of the drama.But after it,it’s pretty chill…at least the first 3 episodes,after it?It’s a mess,and VERY unexpected.The Psychometric powers where an interesting part of the drama,never heard of it before ,so that’s nice.The actors did a great job ,my only complaint is the editing…some scenes changed to fast and not smoothly.I did go into this drama “blind”,so that’s what I recommend to do.
THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE(S)?:
The romance was cute and sometimes silly,the chemistry was there!So I’m happy with that.
HOW IT ENDS
*Mild Spoilers*
I mean….What?! Like actually…what?! Did I expect the ending(or really the last 3/4 episodes)???HELL NO …You need to watch it,like for real!

I binge-watched “While You Were Sleeping”
PLOTIt’s a mystery/romance drama and to be honest I didn’t care about the romance at all. I liked the plot, this whole “future seeing” thing was amazing! The first 3 episodes were my favorites, so many twists, and turns. Lee Jong Suk did a great job in this drama ,I loved watching him. Loved the family dynamics and the parallel story lines.
THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE(S)?
Ahhhh…it was okay,it felt like Suzy tried too hard at times ,but that’s my only complaint. To be honest, I reaaalllyyy didn’t care about the romance,the cases and mystery was something I was invested in.
HOW IT ENDS*Mild Spoilers*
The ending was so satisfying ,it had everything I love in an ending!

THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE(S)? : So from the first episode, we are told that the woodcutter is the rude and cold Professor Jung Yi-Hyun, at least that's what our Fairy thinks. But the sweet and nice student Kim Geum starts to think he could be the woodcutter too. The chemistry was good between both of those couples, I seriously was guessing until the last episode who was the woodcutter and I can say that I was wrong in my guesses.
HOW IT ENDS: Unexpected! That's the only thing I can say without spoiling the ending! It's such a great KDrama and I definitely recommend you to check it out!

THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE: Our main couple Oh Yeon-Joo(played by Han Hyo-Joo) who is the daughter of the author of the webtoon "W", and our main hero of the webtoon Kang Chul(played by Lee Jong-suk). The chemistry was there! Was it over the roof? No, but it was still there and that's important!
HOW IT ENDS(*Mild spoilers*): I expected much sadder Ending then we got, that shocked me(don't know really why). For me the ending was satisfying, I really liked the last episode. To be very honest it felt a little rushed, but still good.
