Crash Course in Romance and I , The Union of Two Universes
Like many people, I got interested in the drama after watching a few edits on Tik Tok and OH how thankful I am for those edits! Crash Course in Romance for me will go down in my Top 10 dramas of 2023. Like many people, I had been in a drama funk and this drama sparked my love for Romcoms every Saturday and Sunday. The way they were able to showcase a mature, healthy relationship with a middle-aged adult was so REFRESHING! I loved how they allowed Nam Hae - E & Sun -Jae to end up together AFTER a few years passed when she was in college and healed her relationship with her mom and he healed his relationship with his mom. The thriller edge in this drama definitely kept me on my toes from episode 2 - episode 15, and I think they did well with wrapping up this drama in THE HAPPIEST WAY POSSIBLE. Thank you Crash Course in Romance for reigniting my love for K-Dramas. Hopefully, Mr. J will be a better man in Taxi Driver 2 ( which I am watching next)If you are interested in watching a drama that will keep you feeling all the emotions and more, PLEASE GIVE LOVE TO CRASH COURSE IN ROMANCE! I promise you won't regret it!

#influenced
Plot: Seo Ari, a struggling woman who sells cosmetics door to door. After her father's company goes bankrupt, she & her mother are left penniless.The 12 episodes follow the rise of Seo A-ri and the dark sides to being a E - influencer.
I was interested in this drama after watching the trailer a few weeks ago.
This is the second drama of 2023 to keep me on my toes the whole 12 episodes. Once I started I couldn't stop watching. Each episode leaves you wondering what's next, who is bbbfamous, how is she recording this live stream if she's gone?
You can tell Netflix and Studio Dragon put a lot of money into this show and it was worth it. This drama really showed a different side of being a E-Celeb in Korea that I have never seen before.
I really loved the cinematography and storytelling of this show because the twist at the end I never saw coming.
If you are here for romance, it is definitely a slow burner, but has its moments here and there.
This is a drama for someone who like mystery, thrill, fashion, and what happens once you reach the top of being an online influencer.
Overall, I really liked this drama and would definitely watch it again!

"I Will Be Your Executioner"
After waking up at 4 am to watch this, I can 100% agree that this was WORTH the wait! Part 1 really did a great job setting the foundation and putting the pieces into place. As you go through episodes 9 - 12 you are waiting for the ball to drop and for Dong Eun finally, get to work. From Coconut Head teacher to Yeon Jin, it was so SATISFIED watching episodes 13 - 16 because each episode kept picking off each villain. From the friends turning on each other to Yeon Jin's Mother turning on her and losing everything ( even her daughter and mother). The moments between Dong Eun & Yeo Jung were so warming during the revenge era and I was so HAPPY the "cheat with the husband plot" was not used!! They really got to help one other heal through the Hell they went through. Hyun Nam finally got to have peace and her daughter got to be safe and secure in the US. The cinematography was amazing and you really got to see how everything and everyone got connected and justice truly got served to each of the friends. Lastly, I am so happy the romantic was sealed and wrapped up in Episode 16. It made the most sense and they executed it the right way!For me, this is a drama I could watch over and that SAYS a lot because those first few episodes in part 1 were hard, but I feel like the message is loud and clear: that bullying affects both the bully and victim especially because for the victim because its a moment that they will carry forever. The pain, suffering, and guilty of other victims.
So if you haven't watched this drama when it aired in March 2023, and you're reading this, do yourself a favor and WATCH IT! Give Song Hye Kyo and Lee Do Hyun and the whole cast, all the love for this well-crafted story of revenge, healing, and hope for life. I'm sure it will go down as a Top Kdrama of 2023 for you too!

A Good Intro To BL Dramas
This was my first Thai BL Drama and it did not disappoint!Something I really enjoy in BL dramas is the development of the relationship, the chemistry, and the excretion of the plot. Moss and Bank delivered an amazing drama. You can see the development of the relationship from Enemies to Lovers to Forever Partners was told so beautiful. The scenes were their chemistry shined the most was the final episode. There you could see how much Yai loved and cared about Mangkorn dream and the behind the scene video footage just sold me into the BL fandom for life.
To Me, the plot was explained pretty well and even if Season 2 wasn't to happen (which it is!!!!) their story was closed off really well. But I'M SO THANKFUL FOR THIS DRAMA AND Recommend if you are just starting out with BL Dramas cause this one shows you what you need to know going into the world of BL Dramas!

I don't want to be apart from you
I heard about Stay with Me after seeing edits on my FYP on TikTok so I decided to give it a watch and OH how much fun it has been watching these two grow and develop over the last 6 weeks.Stay with Me is an adaption on the drama Addicted, and even if you haven't watched that drama before you can 100% fall deeply and completely in love with the characters SuYu and WuBi.
Every week I was hook to my screen wanted to see the development of these two friends as you slowly figure their friendship for one and other, WuBi's trauma with his mother, and even what the future holds for them.
Even as a Chinese Bromance/BL, it truly did an amazing job with showcasing their love for one and other in a way that I haven't see in other Chinese's bromances before.
Everyone apart of this project did an amazing job with crafting a beautiful story around, friendship, youth, and falling in love. I am impressed with Zhang Jiong Min and Xu Bin performance in this show. They truly shined with their characters and brought them to life. Even though the last episode was rollercoaster of emotions, I am hopefully for a season 2 and truly believe this isn't the end of WuBi and SuYu.
This drama is on my top 10 list for 2023 and I will be rewatching it every few months just to come back to my favorite characters.
Give it a watch if you are interested because I promise you its 100% worth it!
