    8.0

    MUST WATCH.
    It is a remake of a French show, so many like me might be familiar with the plot.
    But great attempt - and again soft makjang that I would recommend.

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    9.0

    MUST WATCH.
    I mean you have Ji Chang Wook and Wi Ha Joon, need I say more?
    Great bromance, action,  how lines blur when between what's good & evil & love!
    Masterpiece! ?

  • Mask Girl

    7. Mask Girl

    Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes

    9.0

    GOOD
    Dark and Twisted - which will make you think whether the character is in the right or wrong?
    A highlight on the evils of society and choices made cause of it

  • Park's Contract Marriage Story

    8. Park's Contract Marriage Story

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    8.0

    GOOD
    Started out exceptionally well, and would be highly recommended minus for the ending that was meh compared to the beginning. Still worth a one time watch! ??

  • Copycat Killer

    9. Copycat Killer

    Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    7.5

    GOOD.
    One of my first Taiwanese show - and I was all in cause of the ML, Chris Wu.
    It was a little slow for me being a suspense show and the ending was predictable to me, but still a good watch! ?? 

  • Taxi Driver 2

    10. Taxi Driver 2

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    7.0

    GOOD.
    Season 1 >> Season 2. But always good to watch the show and see Lee Je Hoon & team in action. ?

  • Een goede dag om een hond te zijn

    11. Een goede dag om een hond te zijn

    Korean Drama - 2023, 14 episodes

    6.0

    AVERAGE.
    The latter half and long airing schedule killed it for me. But the story premise, characters, main leads visuals - chemistry is good. Cute/Fluff romance and recommended for a one time watch, but with caution as Ep 9 and onwards goes downhill. 

  • Osama ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi

    12. Osama ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    7.0

    AVERAGE.
    Was such a great premise, visuals & chemistry of the main leads was amazing - but the latter half of the show was a big downer. Again - blame the bad executing ??otherwise would have been a Good Drama.

  • A Time Called You

    13. A Time Called You

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    7.0

    AVERAGE.
    Many might hate me for this - but this is my opinion. I have not seen the Taiwanese version and saw this first. Did not understand the hype even with the good cast. Honestly will skip it, but then one can watch if you are curious. 

  • See You in My 19th Life

    14. See You in My 19th Life

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    7.0

    AVERAGE.
    Feel so bad calling a Shin Hye Sun drama as average - but while she was great she could not make up for the bad ML and storyline. Not worth remembering tbh, even though as I watched it was okay. 

  • My Demon

    15. My Demon

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    7.0

    SKIP IT.  
    Brilliant premise - but not executed well, only saving point was the visuals and romance of the main leads. Sad & disappointing. ??

  • Useless Lies

    16. Useless Lies

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    6.0

    SKIP IT.
    another of those 2023 dramas that was hyped and could not live up to it. Had a good premise, good chemistry between the leads but the story/mystery could not deliver well. Sad and Disappointing ??

  • The Glory Season 2

    17. The Glory Season 2

    Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    7.5

    SKIP IT.
    But watch Part 1, maybe? Best part of drama - me discovering hot ahjuiccyy Jung Sung Il ???. That's it.

    Again such a hyped and loved drama - I myself recommended it to so many people when I saw Part 1. But the Part 2 was so bad! The revenge was SO, SO, SO damn cold that it should not even be labelled revenge.


  • Destined with You

    18. Destined with You

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    6.0

    SKIP IT!
    I was so excited for this one - given they are my favorite actor and actress. Again the mystery/story was butchered so badly, that it almost made me cry.  The chemistry was good but romance felt awkward and what was that SML doing? 

  • Strong Girl Kang Nam Soon

    19. Strong Girl Kang Nam Soon

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    6.0

    SKIP IT .
    But watch the edits of Byeon Woo Seok on Youtube/Social Media. He as the antagonist was the best part of this drama and in the world of villains. 

    Rest of the drama was such a bad joke in the name of women empowerment and feminism.
    Everything was just bad, terrible - waste of drama brain cells. I cry thinking I watched it. This drama should never have been made but since it gave me the villain, it is okay

  • My Heart Beats

    20. My Heart Beats

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    4.0

    SKIP IT.
    Another drama that should have never been made. Period.
