3. Hou Lang
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
I really enjoyed this drama for the first 35 episodes. The characters evolved and I got really interested in TCM. For most of the series, I would have rated it a really good 8.5/10. However, the trope that was introduced in ep 35 was the worst trope to include. I absolutely hated it. Then, they dragged the trope until approximately the middle of the last episode and released the truth in the most awkward way possible. Simply for that, I deducted a whole star. It would have been a lower rating if the prior 35 episodes wouldn't have been this good. Also, I wasn't watching this drama for the issue influenced by the trope but mainly for TCM. I guess some people don't mind the trope, but for me, it was a huge issue. Maybe someone put the spoiler down in the comment section of the drama's page, so if you want to get spoilt, you can find out about the trope. Conclusively, I rate this drama a 7.5/10.

Viki. Seems like a fun filler drama.

5. Bumped Into You
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
It's a really good drama that feels like it is in its own bubble. FL finds clarity about her origins and the other investigates a serial killing, both in a small town. They plot is very well pulled off and the actors did a great job. Nevertheless, something prevented me from rating this drama higher, but I would still recommend it to people who like thrillers and mystery dramas!
