1. I'm Serious About Dating
Korean Drama - 2023, 14 episodes
I quite liked this drama. It shows the difficulties of moving on from a long relationship. Despite knowing that the former partner is a POS, you sometimes cannot just shut down your feelings. This drama follows Bo Ra's long and difficult (and at times embarrassing) process of getting over her cheating ex-boyfriend and her tumultuous relationship with a critic of hers who turns out to also be her publisher. I found that plot quite interesting and I found myself impatiently waiting for the episodes to air. Therefore, I can recommend this drama but if you expect a quick resolution of the drama between Bo Ra and her ex, you should brace yourself. I got annoyed a few times because she was still going after him. Nevertheless, (despite hating stuff like that) I really enjoyed the drama, so a good 8.5/10 from me.

2. Dr. Romantic 3
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
I absolutely love the Dr. Romantic series and this one was just brilliant. I deffo recommend watching this drama (though, go watch the second season first - to get appropriately hooked on the characters). I am a bit annoyed about Lee Kyung Young being in this drama but the main characters deffo pulled this one off. I really hope that there will be a fourth season because the producers certainly do not disappoint with the Dr. Romantic series. Go watch it! It is worth your time!

Netflix. Filler drama.

9. The Love You Give Me
Chinese Drama - 2023, 28 episodes
It's a cute drama and I found the chemistry between the leads amazing. FL is also confident and stands up for herself. She is also supporting other female colleagues and friends and shows the disadvantages that women face in the workforce. Simultaneously, the ML fell head over heels for her and their son and did everything to protect them, sometimes a bit clumsily though. They are adorable and it is a romantic c-drama that I would certainly recommend. One of the best purely romantic c-dramas that I have watched so far (March 2024).
