OST:  Twilight

Final Thoughts:
I feel fullfilled but also want more! lol
Such a cute couple and I loved Amagis friend too! Coming from a 18+ Thai BL I expected Takara to invite Amagi over again in the last ep since their relationship is really stable now but I'll just imagine it in my head ?
I love how with such a short series the story showed so much sides of a young/first love and character growth. Thats japanese BL for ya. Just love it so much ♡ 3 a.m Jan 1st 2023, I'm having a happy start of the new year^^

OST: - 

Final thoughts:
This was rather disappointing to me but I guess I shouldn’t have expected A family genre Sageuk without typical politics. Like, I thought its about the “domestic” life of a queen and each her sons and how hard it is to be a mother to boys but to a whole country to but nooo its all about corrupt officials and throne usurpation and revealing the murder of the former King. So boring -_-  And also, the Grandma was way too evil, it was almost comical. Oh and also! I feel like there was just one track playing the whole drama. If there wasnt then every song sounded the same!

Watch history:  January 1 to January 6  I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  9h
OST:  Over The Moon (op)

Final thoughts:
Love First and Kahl. they had awesome chemistry and are such good actors! I liked the setting and the idea of a school tormenting students with 100 year old rules but it was very badly portrayed. it also didnt make sense that they spoke of a curse since nothing ever supernatural or really bad happened to the students. The adult actors were horrible. I wonder if they were actors at all and not stuff that filled in the positions XD Anyway, the ‘mystery’ plot was trash but the relationship developments between the students was good.

Watch history:  January 5 to January 8  I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  20h
OST: Aching, Just Watching You

Final thoughts:
This was quite good. Every episode had its moments and the plot wasnt easy to predict. I loved how every little detail had its use later on in plot. It had also perfect balance between mystery and romance. Personally I didnt like the ML actor and the costumes are awful. Just a mix of Han Bok and some kind of Ming dynasty atire and the layering looks so bad. (The hair styles are also mostly ugly)

Watch history:  January 9 to January 10  I   Platform:  Netflix |  Duration:  8h
OST: -

Final thoughts:
The 1000 year in the future theory sounded pretty cool.
Mira hypnosis was cool too and also would fit as ending. But the real ending is interesting too. I wished the survivors would remember each other.  But I wasnt attached to any characters anyway. Most games were boring and too short, in general the pacing was too fast amd Alicu had too much luck than skill. The dialogue should be emotional and I guess philosophical but I found myself rolling my eyes everytime they talked about meaning of life.

Watch history: January 10 to January 18  I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  16h
OST: My Friend

Final Thoughts:
I liked the premise of this show. The different life stories of the deseaced were heartwarming and not boring. But as always the kdrama changed genre in the last third of the show from slice of life/romance to mystery and crime. The supporting character espc Dong Joos friends were such an accessory and boring/annoying. And i wished Dong Joos characters would be played by an actress I don't dislike so I would like the FL more...
Still the plot was quite interesting and had its unexpected twists.
I expected this drama to turn out draggy and boring and only wanted to watched it for Jun Young but it turned out to be not a waste of time :)

Final Thoughts:
As a thriller its garbage. As a crime parody or tutorial on what you SHOULDN'T DO when you want to escape a killer OR what you SHOULDN'T do when you actually want to kill someone, its alright.

Final Thoughts:
Eventhough it was predictable and the side characters had too much screen time but still it was worth it for the 3 main characters. I liked them. And this is a good parody sageuk.

Watch history: January 8 to January 29 I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  13h
OST:  same as S1

Final Thoughts:
Wow I actually finished it! After initially dropping it on ep 4. This one is a massive downgrade from first season. I am still very salty about how they rewrote the female lead to fit the Hong sister ideal. Witch I hate. But well at least I’ve seen the conclusion to the story.

Watch history: January 16 to February 8 I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  27h

Final thoughts: 
Cringe and boring. This is the worst xianxia I've seen.
Why I finished it? Two reasons: Bin Bin and He Na.

Watch history: February 8 I   Platform:  Viki |  Duration:  3h
OST:  IoU

Final thoughts:
The script, dialog and directing was surprisingly good. Despite the short length they sucsessfully excecuted many office romance tropes I like. Growing as an intern with his new ideas ✔️ dating your superior✔️ dealing with your first love that came back ✔️ dealing with your boyfriends ex that came back ✔️ dealing with sneaky superiors from other teams ✔️ Weird and funny CEO and their weird and funny secretary side kick✔️ Opening a start-up✔️ (this one I actually dislike but its just so common nowaday in office drama -_-)

Watch history: February 12 to February 16 I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  1h 40min
OST:  -

Final thoughts:
This movie was a let down. I was eager to see their dating day to day life but the characters felt empty and had too platonic of a relationship. But even a platonic one can be fun but this story felt just empty. 

Watch history: February 16 to February 19 I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  3h
OST:  Go Sign (op)

Final thoughts:
Despite the most lack of good acting I loved the characters. I loved that this cute drama also has simple but still interesting investigation and side stories. The pacing was well done too (most of the time). This drama made me read the original manga an dI actually wish I didnt, I dropped the manga at the point where the drama ended. The characters in manga and plot are inferior.

Final thoughts:
Ending made me remove 0.5 stars but this couple was so healthy, I loved their relationship.
Make househusbands a thing!

Watch history: February 27 to February 28 I   Platform:  Viki.com |  Duration:  15h
OST:  Waiting

Final thoughts:
Was better than expected. But there wasn’t enough chemistry for me. Probably bc the male lead was too boring. Last episode was my fav bc ml was more alive.

Watch history: March 04  to March 08 I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  8h
OST:  The Moon Represents My Heart

Final thoughts:
Characters and plot was to plain for my taste. Production is great though.

Why am I even still watching Korean thriller movies. They are all the same boring shit.

Final thoughts:
This is like Penthouse if it was more serious.

Final thoughts:
This was such a satisfying end.
It was refreshing to see both lead characters being rather on the darker spectrum of grey.
Who says revenge is useless and doesn't make you happy?

Good Production, love the friendship, the music and ofc the chemistry. Very cute couple.

Final thoughts: 
I loved the balance of mystery and romance in this drama. Both plots are well written.

OST: -

Final thoughts: 
Poorly edited ending. It's like it ended in the middle of the episode. Overall the censorship was very visible here. (But I'm glad they deleted the agressive kiss from Xiao Duo in boat )
Also, wha was the female lead in the last 4 episodes just useless as a piece of paper? She acted crazy for what? Wasn't even really necessary. Just waited for her knight to rescue her -_-

Watch history:  March 24  I   Platform:  VIKI.com |  Duration:  3h
OST: Again

Final thoughts: 
A friend of mine saw the ending as a happy end where the meteorite didn't hit earth. But honestly to me, I think it did. The short scene where Yuma blows the stilone away from earth must've been a dream they had. Theres no way the meteor is seen in the sky the other day and next day it is gone. It couldn't have changed its course nor exploded.
So yeah, to me they all died but at least they resolved their issues.

OST: Selfless (Louis <3)

Final thoughts:
This was cute^^

Watch history:    December 1 to December 3 I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  16h
OST: Yellow Light, Confess To You, Reaching You, DIVE, Fall In Love (Romantic OST King Jeong Se Woon XD) , Should We Fall In Love?

Final thoughts:
Well this was basically a fantasy drama. It was a feel good drama with nothing really challenging or sad going on for the characters. Of Course they had to make the male lead as well as female lead have parents issuses but it wasnt heavy and got resolved well. I actually liked how there wasnt really any talk about the class gap between the leads. It was cute and light overall. I just needed to turn off my brain and enjoy.

Watch history:    July 2 to July 11 I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  12h
OST: By My Side

Final thoughts:
There is something off with this show. The premise was good but yeah as everyone said the execution is to boring and just childish. Last two episode of the show were the best b at least some drama happened. The chemistry was also off. I liked Jimmy and his acting, thats why I finished it but the other guy wasnt that great. Maybe its the directing. i will give this couple another chance.

Final thoughts:
I watched two individuals meeting and going their seperate ways. Honestly idk how to feel about it. The older I become the more I crave untealistic fairy tail happy ends > < But I cant say that this was bad.

OST: Tempest, The Nights, Different From The Outside

Final thoughts: 
Wow I seriously misjudged (pun intented) this drama when it was airing and so populiar.
It was indeed impactful, suspenseful and at times so dark I felt like I was in a horror movie or psycho thriller… (genres I avoid for my mental health)
The way the plot kept us second guess every move of Yo Han made me excited in good but also bad ways. Like sometimes everyone spoke of him as the devil meanwhile the real ones are enjoying champagne in the blue house argh! But then Ga On seemed to find concrete evidence of his savage manipulation and I thought maybe Yo Han is actually moral less…?
Anyway I’m happy with the ending, luckily the trash was burned and our hero flew off to Switzerland so we know his quality of life is secured XD Jus Poor Ga On, has to still try to sort out the mess in South Korea. He really should just try to become president. I can’t trust no one else in this dystopian country :D
Everyone speaks highly of the bromance and it was truly very good. Some even speculate it was supposed to be BL, but nah, that’s too much. Ga On is litterly a doppelgänger of Yo Hans deceased biological brother so stop! It’s just the sexual tension Ji Sung is always oozing with anyone XD I bet Ji Sung wanted to tease ppl , but still plot wise, BL wouldn’t make sense only if they rewrite the doppelganger part.

Final thoughts:
This drama is bloated with unnecessary scenes + the lead characters were too childish and had 0 character development.

Watch history:    July 13 to July 16 I   Platform:  YT |  Duration:  9h
OST:  Song of Heartbreak

Final thoughts:
I think Pat is most annoying lead character I've seen this year. Part of it is how this character is written and another the horrible acting. Man carried this whole show.

OST: Living For You, Song By Bird Thongchai

Final thoughts:
I honestly didn't expect it to have such a happy end :D
Acting was bad but I still liked the characters and their love story. Still I wish they'd casted another couple for that kind of plot.

Watch history:    July 17 to July 23 I   Platform:  Plex.tv |  Duration:  17h
OST: My Hidden Love, My Favorite Person, Forever Star

Final thoughts:
The first 8 uncompfortable episodes took away half a star. The grooming was low key but there! And half a start bc nothing really interesting happened and there were no interesting side characters.
But later romance was cute and the leads were just too fucking pretty!

What. did. just. happen
This was craaazy! Feels like a Shakespearean play daamn, so good!
But lets us just all pretend it was a long nightmare.
PS: I need a fluffy fanfic with Ae Sol and Bo Ra

I like that they both became sword spirits.

OST: Tasty, Nightmare

Final thoughts: 
I felt like I was watching a fantasy tv show for children.
Besides that, the idol theme was almost entirely forgotten after a while. And it so funny how Woo Yeon Woo could still promote in Wild Animal after so many scandals when in reality idols get kicked out out groups bc they smoked in high school or borrowed money when they were broke lol

Final thoughts: 
The best thing in this drama is the OST and the pretty boys. Everything else was cringy. Esp the last ep. No chemistry at all and there was no satisfying coming out of age story. Felt very superficial and forced.

Watch history:    June 5 to June 25 I   Platform:  Plex  |  Duration:  26h
OST: Black Moonlight (ed), Black Bird, Sending The Long Moon

Final thoughts:
Typical Xianxia ending. But I enjoyed the journey. All the drama, all the suffering, broke my heart but also loved to see the struggle of Tantai Jin between good and evil. He did have good experiences thanks to Susu and he was so dedicated wow.

Final thoughts:
I didn’t expect to like it so much. It was sloppy, ridiculous and badly written. But it still had so much charm. Tar did a great job portraying the cheesy but wholesome and sincere Noey. I fell for him from the second episode and each episode this character got more lovely. (And cheesy but I love cheese) sadly no guitar love song but that’s ok.

Final thoughts: 
I just wanted to see how bad the graphic content is, but I actually stayed for the plot. First I wanted to know how the victim got there, then I wanted to know more about the doctor, how is he outside of the basement. Then I started to see changes in both characters and wanted to know where all of this is going and at the end I was left with a relatable sad behind story and a hopeful happy end.
Yes this movie is weird. But it has a story. My brain is good in forgetting things so I just cut out the graphic scenes and only remember the deep themes.
But I will never recommend this movie to someone I know personally bc I would not be able to look them in the eyes XD

I should have watched the last episode as a cut version. The mature scenes were so out of character and place. This couple is nothing but cute <3…
