1. Happiness
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Watch history: Dec 31 2021 to Jan 1 2022 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 12h
OST: Pain
Final thoughts:
This was pretty good. But also frustrating seeing Sae Bum and esp Yi Hyun caring for the absolute trash who shouldve been left alone dying.Its a mystery to me how these two could hold their temper so well. I wished more dangerous stuff would happen to the trash people but they were fine for so long -_- last 2 episodes were most exciting and satisfying :)

2. Shadow Beauty
Korean Drama - 2021, 13 episodes
Finished: Dec 29, 2021
Watch history: January 03 to January 05 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 5h
OST: Your Own Shape
Final thoughts:
I dont like the cinematography very much. Bc it fits morre a horror/crime drama while it seems this is a high school romance/bullying / slice of life drama. Ho In is a weird character. I dont understand if he is supposed to be a creepy, mentally sick character or a love interest? I miss Jin Sung T T
Eventhough this drama is all over the place for me, I cant stop watching since I want to know how it ends :D

3. I'm Breaking Up Now
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Watch history: January 01 to January 11 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 16h
OST: Your Season, Ing...
Prior thoughts:
After watching Jang Ki Yong in WWW I don't think he fits the charming young guy role. He should play more crime role like Come And Hug Me but he looked not bad in the trailer here. I'll give a another chance and besides I like Song Hey Kyo and the office romance.
Final thoughts:
It was a nice Drama. Sometimes the characters were cringe but I liked the story. Less so towards the end of the drama, but the majority of it was good. I loved the the setting of a fashion label company and the female lead as fashion designer. (I love to design too)

4. Coffee & Vanilla
Japanese Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
Watch history: January 09 to January 14 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 4h
OST: -
Final thoughts:
90% horniness 10% dull plot 0% should be taken serious.
Just a guilty pleasure trash. The way they acted out manga panels was so cringe. What works for drawn characters doesn't work for real people!

Korean Drama - 2021, 17 episodes
Finished: January 1
Watch history: January 16 to January 22 I Platform: Plex | Duration: 22,6h
OST: Lee Sung Hee - I'll Leave You
Prior thoughts: Honestly based on the trailer this doesn't look that interesting and I felt no chemistry. But I 'll still give it a try bc I want to watch more Sageuks and bc of Junho :)Final thoughts:
The amount of pain the last episode had should be illegal. I had to pause every now and then and play with my cat bc it was just unbearably sad and I had headches bc of crying.
Why did they do this to us?! -
7. Tinted With You
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
Finished: January 14
Watch history: January 23 to January 24 I Platform: Viki.com | Duration: 1,6h
OST: Like That Time, Moon Light
Final thoughts:
Ok, so what was the point of this woman sending him into this picture and then sending all of them back to real life/future? And the happy ending was cringe. No chemistry but I blame directing and plot, not the actors. -
8. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Finished: January 14
Watch history: January 23 to January 30 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 10h
OST: Just Friend?, Secret
Final thoughts:
Sometimes I really feel like I'm loosing braincells. Well I do need to turn off my brain to "enjoy" the drama but its still 50% empty plot and 50% ad collections of Ohm and Nanon. I'm very disappointed as those two are one of the best young actors and had much much better works.Wanted to give it lower rating but couldnt bc I love Ohm and Nanon but this drama was dumb and annoying.
ep 6-12 buddy watch with Bateumaan

9. The Policeman's Lineage
Korean Movie - 2022
-
10. Idol Doctor
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Finished: January 23
Watch history: January 30 to February 2 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 14h
OST: Beautiful Breakup, Love Paranoia, Love One Day (confess song uwu ), Midnight Fantasy
(LUNAs flop song, this drama ppl have no taste *smh*)
Final thoughts:
I was hesitant to watch this bc my experience with "Imitation" was bad but I was surprised with this one. It definitely not awesome, but its also at least not cringe as the aforementioned was. The writers treated the supporting characters aka other band members with enough respect to give them an individual story line and a small development. But the ML and Fl are just your simple arrogant celebrity with trauma/parent issues and a poor girl with a good heart trope. Acting was good, chemistry was ok.
Oh! and the MUSIC, was actually very good!
Notes: Ep 8 is the lovesong confession <3 -
11. Rainless In A Godless Land
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 13 episodes
Finished: January 9
Watch history: January 20 to February 5 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 15h
OST: Never ending Rain (ed), Last Second (op), Be Yours,
Prior thoughts: I hear only good stuff about this and it looks pretty and romantic and deep. And the plot sounds very interesting. Same writer as in Someday or OnedayFinal thoughts:
I found it boring at the beginning but now I feel emty after finishing it...
I wish there were more such romantic/cute scenes throughout the drama as we got in the last episode. Male lead actor failed to establish good chemistry. -
12. Love and Leashes
Korean Movie - 2022
Released: February 11
Watch history: January 11 to February 12 rewatched: Feb.19 I Platform: Netflix.de | Duration: 1h50
OST: -
Final thoughts:
This movie was surprisingly good. Wholesome and exciting and there is nothing hardcore the relationship develops nicely and you learn something about the BDSM scene. -
13. The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity
Chinese Movie - 2020
Watch history: February 12 I Platform: Netflix.de | Duration: 2h
OST: Chi Qing Zhong (ed)
Final thoughts:
Cast is awesome, production is GODLY!
But the story and characters, so boring ?
Gonna watch the 2021 movie to see if it could be better or if this type of story and characters just dont suit in the movie format. (What I really believe) -
14. Onmyoji
Chinese Movie - 2021
-
15. Paint with Love
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Watch history: February 12 to February 13 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 9h
OST: Just Realized
Final thoughts:
This was cute. Yes there were frustrating plot points and I expected the painter being a mature character but both were childish af. But hey I love harmless tsunderes I confess.
Still I enjoyed this drama very much, didn't get bored at all, liked the second couple too.
Singtos suits! Pure bliss to my eyes!
The chemistry didn't disappoint too, veerry nice kisses :D -
16. Kingdom
Korean TV Show - 2021, 10 episodes
Watch history: February 27 (2021) to February 13 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 20h
OST:
Final thoughts:
Songs and performances were magnificent but the whole show structure was so boring and Changmin sounded and acted like a robot. I hate this typical Korean Award show MCing.
Winner wasn't important to me a bit bc everyone deserved the crown. -
17. The Legend of Gu and Jue
Chinese Drama - 2021, 49 episodes
previously set on-hold in 2021
Watch history: July 25 (2021) to February 18 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 36h
OST: Love, Age, Telepathy, Chihiro, Only Years Left
Final thoughts:
I believe Muguang and Yuemi will be reborn again in a few thousand years too ??
I loved the story. It had different arcs and I loved Qingmu and Houchi as much as Bai Jue and Shanggu. But I must say I wished the villian aka Wu Huan and her offsprings would be less 1 dimensional. At the end the story tried to shiw how sad they all become Wu Huan turning crazy and her daughter miserable but you know what, I DONT CARE!
I feel like we were forced to feel bad for them but they were selfish trash throygh and through. No circumstances made them like this, they were just born evil. The whole part where Bai Jue was married to Wu Huans daughter was annoying. But I thought thats not a big deal since someday everything will be revealed and we will see Bai Jue, Shanggu and Yuanqi spend family time together and resolve all the misunderstandings in person. But no. Bai Jue died and Shanggu learned the truth way later through a flashback and others. And then Ancestral God random decided to bring Bai Jue back afyer 503 years and the drama ends there?! Where us my family time! I wanted them to at least talk a little more after he comes back
Thats why eventhogh I initially wanted to give it a 9, at the end I gave the drama an 8. -
18. Melancholia
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Watch history: February 19 to February 20 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 17h
OST: All I Need
Final thoughts:
I have not much to say about this drama. I liked that the FL ans ML had such a specific interest and talent and that made them a good match. But not much of chemistry was build. I understand the first part when he was a minor but I wished the plot would involve more of the relationship between the too after the time jump rather than revenge. I seldom like revenge stories or seeking justice or whatever.
I loved that they introduced Si An into the story and included the Professor more wich gave the drama slightly family genre that I like. -
19. Sorrowful Nedera
Japanese Movie - 2021
Watch history: February 27 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 1h50m
OST: -
Final thoughts:
So I get that its a psychological drama movie but the reasons for these three to become such psychopaths were weak or portrayed inadequate. Like what, the ML was mental bc his mother slapped him once and he was bullied in middle school, the FL desperately wanted to be different from her mother and the girl, idk if she was born that way (most likely) or the lack of a mother and spoiling father made her that way? No, I dont like those reasons. -
20. Someday or One Day
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 13 episodes
Watch history: April 9 to April 23 I Platform: plex.tv | Duration: 14h
OST: Playlist
Final Thoughts:
The ending was very beautiful. Everything was put back probably how it was supposed to be and eventhought the memories they had while time traveling are gone, the love and the soul connection remained. Li Zi Wei and Huang Yu Xian eventually still found their way to each other while Chen Yun Rus soul also got healed. This was probably the grand plan of the universe. To grant these kids who are good and innocent a better life and better understanding of life.
Well, thats what I took from the drama. There are definitely more ways to interpret it. Each viewer will have his own view on the story. and this is what makes an awesome high quality of a story. I am left with a satisfied and warm heart. -
21. Bad Genius
Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Watch history: April 21 to May 6 I Platform: plex.tv | Duration: 12h
OST: Follow Me (op)
Final Thoughts:
At some point it got repetitive, overly dramatic that its funny and acting got worse. (By some actors) -
22. When Flowers Bloom, I Think of the Moon
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Watch history: March 20 to March 26 I Platform: viki.com | Duration: 17h
OST: One More Time
Final thoughts:
I really liked the plot with all its twists and arcs. The drama never really felt draggy and there was so much going on bc many character got a decent behind story.
I loved the dynamic between all supporting characters and the romamce was there but not the main point and never felt in the way of the investigation plot and that never made the characters do dumb things bc of it.
Now the bad parts. The villian was not very interesting as well as the king and the ministers, very typical but I didnt really mind this. What really makes me upset and maybe even mad is, the FL performance. Her character is really cool but if the character is played by an actress that for the love of god can NOT portray tthe character properly, it creates many cringe scenes. This is the biggest flaw of this drama. Bad casting choice. If someone else would've played this FL role I would add her to my favorite list. She and second female lead were written as intelligent and brave women. I would also give the drama a 9 if not for the FL casting ?? -
23. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
Watch history: March 19 to March 27 I Platform: youtube.com | Duration: 10,5h
OST: Opening
Final thoughts:
This drama was a ride. The pacing was perfect and the stories of supporting characters were interesting too and didnt take away too much of the maincharacters screentime.|The chemistry was trough the roof. -
24. Office Romance Cruelty
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Watch history: April 7 to April 8 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 16h
OST: Mind Warning
Final thoughts:
The story and and romance felt just ok. Nothing really got me hooked. Bu tthen again, I never feel chemitry when Min Young is the leading lady so I'm not surprised. Overall I liked the slice of life aspect but not the profession part, this was boring to me. -
25. Semantic Error
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Watch history: March 18 I Platform: viki.com | Duration: 3h30m
OST: Romantic Devil, Can You Stay
Final thoughts:
I heared its pretty good but I never expected it to be THAT good! Hands down best K-BL ever made so far! The chemistry! The directing! The Music!
I'll be honest my first impression was meh. Jang Jae Young was such an annoying, childish guy but he became such a nice and mature person. He treated Sangwoo just right imo. He gave him space when Sangwoo asked for it and he also gave him advice on his feelings without seeking advantage for himself. Sangwoo was a cute tsundere, the way I like them^^ (I wish the acting were better tho but it was ok)
The plot was so basic and all the supporting characters were typical too but it was just very well made, didn't feel annoying or boring even if many things were predictable. But there were also may things around the main couple that were very surprising. I got shocked a lot, in a good way ? -
26. Cupid's Last Wish
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Watch history: March 27 to March 28 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 7h
OST: Closer (OP), Just Being Friendly
Final thoughts:
Chemistry and acting was of course very good. But the story and the main problem was not that interesting. Win was also often times too bratty. I like tsunderes but he was just a bitch a lot of times ? -
27. Enchante
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Watch history: April 5 to April 6 I Platform: youtube.com | Duration: 7h
OST: Enchante (op), Je t’aime à la folie, On The Hillside (bgm)
Final thoughts:
This was sweet. I loved the tension between the friends who just cant admit they love each other eventhough its obvious to both of them XD The mystery nehind the real enchante was interesting too and I havent expected the twist.
But i dont get why they/the writer decided to give them a break up right after they just started dating -_- this really killed off some of the chemistry towards the end. -
28. Color Rush Season 2
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Watch history: April 13 to April 15 I Platform: viki.com | Duration: 2h
OST:
Final thoughts:
Yeah well this was not good ? . I mean sure I wanted to know what happened to the mother and the sister and all the illegal mono stuff but 1. The capacity of the crime story was just too big for the short runtime 2. It was weird how they pushed the boys love story just to be boys love eventhough it didn‘t make sense. To squeeze in any kind of romance was just another fail. Not.enough.time! 3. Everyone on the production team need to pollish their skills (to put it nice) the production stuff as well as the actors. Poor job.
Still the overall idea of the story is good. Thats why I didn‘t drop. But it just feels like a raw sketch. -
29. F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers
Thai Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Watch history: April 9 to April 15 I Platform: youtube.com | Duration: 16h
OST: Who Am I (op)
Final thoughts:
Sadly on top of mostly not delivering anthing new and following the korean version too closely, the plot holes and undervelopment was not to overlook. Nevertheless I liked the cast and the production.
And I liked that at least we got a deep talk between Gorya and Thymes mother and it was obvious that she changed for the happyness of Thyme, but still this was too suddent at the very end and therefore unrealistic. -
30. 2gether the Movie
Thai Movie - 2021
Watch history: April 16 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 2h
OST: One Hug
Final thoughts:
I couldn’t stop smiling so that my cheeks hurt rn but I dont mind. Brightwin gives me life ? -
31. Love Stage
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Watch history: April 15 to April 16 I Platform: bilibili.tv | Duration: 8h
OST: Love Stage!!
Final Thoughts:
This was cute and quite hot, chemistry ?% But the quality in directing, character writing and script is not that good. Kaownah was awesome as Ryo, best character and best actor in the series ? carried the show.
Even with all the flaws the drama managed to get me emotionally engaged into the characters and their stories.
Rating based on enjoyment. -
32. Cherry Blossoms After Winter
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Watch history: April 17 I Platform: viki.com | Duration: 3h
OST: Beautiful Day, Love Letter, Precious Love
Final Thoughts:
It was good after they started dating, but It felt kind of empty. -
33. A Business Proposal
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Watch history: April 17 to April 18 I Platform: plex.tv | Duration: 12h
OST: Love, Maybe
Final Thoughts:
Like everyone said this was a digestible cliche kdrama rom-com. I like how modern kdrama romcoms esp the ones with 12 episodes getting rid of unnecessary over the top plot points or make them not as dramatic. The Chabol ML was also not too arrogant and cold or unhuman. (Besides his looks ofc ?) -
34. Blueming
Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
Watch history: April 25 to April 30 I Platform: plex.tv | Duration: 2h
OST: Angel, L.O.V.E
Final Thoughts:
Wow I almost missed out on this gem.
This was so well made, sweet and interesting. I really wish we would get more content but even when the story and side characters stories where cut short it didnt feel full of holes or rushed. This short drama feels like a genuine story somebody wanted to tell and not a cash/hype grab of the BL genre and its followers. I think this drama didnt have a big budget just like other kBLs but it sure felt not cheap like the other ones do. -
35. Cutie Pie
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Watch history: May 8 to May 16 I Platform: Youtube | Duration: 12h
OST: Paste The Heart, Always You, I Feel Your Love, How You Feel, Love
Final Thoughts:
The last 2 episodes were awesome!
Show went uphil from ep 7.
I loved the way they ended the drama. I loved that we got behind the scenes at the end of the pisode and than I screamed when the kiss scene was still going on and the cast of Middle Mans Love and Bed Friend appeared! Gosh when will they come out ? -
36. The Tuxedo
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Watch history: May 16 to May 17 I Platform: plex.tv | Duration: 2h
OST: Warm Heart (op), Because Of You (ed)
Final Thoughts:
I made my assumption based on the review rating of the show on MDL (without getting into spoilers) and I went in to it with a certain expectation of mediocrity.
I am shocked how underappreciated this drama is.
Sure there is the standart rich guy, awful family, daddy issues, trauma and a hint of revenge kind of plot But it was so well made. The acting could be better but its not a big deal.
The drama SHOULD have been longer. It did feel rushed at times, I kept filling the back stories with my imagination. I would LOVE to see the drama starting with Aoiun father loosing his buisiness bc of Nawees father and a revenge plot lowsly brewing, then Nawee and Aioun meeting by chance and slowly putting aside the prejudices, slowly changing for better and falling in love.
It’s actually a really good healing drama. The characters had awesome chemistry and really good dialogue. Someone said it was cringy? No. The diaglogue was mature.
Aside from the main melodramatic plot, the comedy was also on point. I cracked up every time Sichol was displaying his assistent skills XD -
37. Stalker
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
Watch history: May 23 to May 27 I Platform: youtube.com | Duration: 14h
OST -
Final Thoughts:
Ok this was exhausting. It got better after few episodes but it also dragged too much.
Many scenes were not logical bc there was no transition towards them plot wise. At one point it was just sexy time after sexy time after sexy time with no story in between XD I see how this drama is rather a parody but I found myself cringe from embarrassment more than laughing > < -
38. Lie Zui Tu Jian
Chinese Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
Watch history: June 5 to June 8 I Platform: viki.com | Duration: 14h
OST -
Final Thoughts:
Love this drama. The concpt of an art genius solving cases just vibes with me. The peaces he did were beautiful and I loved his classes too. How I wish I could attend XD The stories esp at the beginning made me stick to the screen and loosing sleep. Pacing was perfect.
They could just let the drama be finished here, but they added this mysterious ending...
I guess they want to have the story be open for a continuation IF they decide its profitable enough to do one. I hope they do but if they dont than this last scene is just like an eyesore. -
39. Try the World
Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes
Watch history: May 17 to May 28 I Platform: Wetv/Plex | Duration: 26h
OST Wind Breath (ed)
Final Thoughts:
I dont have much to say about it. Story was ok, chemistry was ok, quality was good.
I wished there was more to the coup-le and more dramatic things happening. I never felt like the leads are in danger, I always knew they would get out of the traps unharmed and they did.
I was excited when at the beginning the femlae lead was introduced as one of the best in the martial world and she did kick ass a few tijme AT THE BEGINNING but then they just threw the action martial arts scenes away :( -
40. Tomorrow
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Watch history: May 20 to May 30 I Platform: Netflix | Duration: 16h
OST: Still Love You, Red Light
Final Thoughts:
This show was way too episodic for me. After the introduction of the the grim reapers and the rookie joining them, you can basically turn any episode in any order and will understan "the story" bc every ep ihas their own story.
I was disappointed how the backstories of the grim reaper where presented. At the very end and too rushed. And also the past live didnt effect the grim reapers in the present enough imo. It didnt feel very impactful :/The historical backstory tho was veerry interesting and I found myself wishing this whole drama would just be a sageukabout them lol.
The eps with the war veteran and the dog did make me cry tho. Best ones. -
41. Remember 15
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Watch history: June 1 to June 4 I Platform: plex.tv | Duration: 12h
OST -
Final Thoughts:
Captivating, thrilling, impactful.
*insert lady gaga interview here*
This should be watched by more ppl.
I keep comparing it to "All Of Us Are Dead" in my head bc both has gore, teens and secrets and crimes but Remember 15 is so much better and I feel bitter that it isnt as popular.
I applaud everyone who worked on this show, staff and actors did an amazing job ??????
I really didnt wanna watch this, the genre is just not my cup of tea. But I just had to bc of my faves Jimmy, Tommy and Zee. It is hard to watch them getting fucked up but their acting perfomance is good as well as the secrets behind each character and how they all are connected. I couldn't stop myself from watching one ep after another until I found myself doing nothing but laying in bed all day after work > < binged 9 episodes straight. -
42. My DNA Says I Love You
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Watch history: May 31 to June 5 I Platform: plex.tv | Duration: 4h
OST: Butterfly, D.N.A, Bye #MyLimit
Final Thoughts:
I liked the story but somehow its missing something.
I believe there wasn't enough chemistry produced by the director between the lead.
And it also was not dramatic enough for me considering the rare "illness" of Xi Wen and more over the psychological torment he mustve gone through. This was too lightly brushed over imo. -
43. Dark Walker
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
Watch history: June 10 to June 18 I Platform: iQiYi | Duration: 16h
OST: Watch (ed)
Final Thoughts:
This was disappointing. Story was ok, quality was good but the characters were either annoying and I wanted them to die or I didn't care if they died. Everyone except the ML and his daughter. I only liked them and watched for Li Yi Feng honestly XD
Rant on female lead:
Her character was very disappointing to me too. I feel like the writer hates seeing strong women. Like they gave her this FL role as a female undercover cop that supposed to be intelligent and strong. But she was portrayed very weak. She didn’t engage in fights, she didn’t have an intense/dangerous one on one conversation with a drug lord, she never got hurt. When she was on stand by as a sniper in the exchange deal, she was as useful as a rock on the ground and when there were bombs in the Drug Rehab Centre that she supposedly detonated, we never see her do this and then she was hurt in a explosion? We didn’t see her getting hurt, when she passed out it honestly just looked like she passed out from anemia. She was supposed to be the FL in a drug world but she was too attached to Luo Xiang and focused too much on her feelings towards him and they made her look after the kid and cook. Yeah I am positive the writers have a certain image of woman in heir head -
44. Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai!
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Watch history: June 18 to June 19 I Platform: Viki.com | Duration: 3h
OST: Perfect (op), Let's Know Each Other Until The End
Final Thoughts:
This was sooo cute and made my heart warm. Perfect drama for detox.
I was happy throughout watching it but now Im a bit sad bc its over. I really want to see more of their life. The characters felt realistic and not too comedic as I first expected. -
45. Red Heart
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Watch history: June 25 to June 30 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 16h
OST: Dimly, Wish Becomes Stars
Final Thoughts:
I really liked the plot, it never got boring or too slow. I liked how in the drama the power struggle is not mainly between the ministers and the king while the women are mingling by the side. It is actually Queens vs Ministers vs each other XD The king is the side dish here and I love it ☺️ First half of drama was typical but the focus slowly switched from the Crown Prince/King to Jeong and dispite my initial view on her she is intelligent enough to challenge er foes, but I just couldn't like any of the characters. They were bland for me and the romance wasn't good too. There were not enough reasons given for me to ship the couples. Acting was mostly disappointing but I blame the directing bc I know these actors were good in other dramas but here they are stiff af. (except Joon, he has the same mediocre border cringe acting as always).
Overall I would still recommend the drama for the exciting plot. -

Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Watch history: June 30 to July 03 I Platform: Viki.com | Duration: 5h
OST: -
Final Thoughts:
It was kinda boring & lead had too little chemistry (the acting by some actors was bad)... and why do they glorify divorces so much? I mean nothing wrong with divorcing but I didnt expect it to be the main theme here and the content of most of their dialogue -_- -
47. Hen Jun Bu Si Jiang Lou Yue
Chinese Drama - 2021, 37 episodes
Watch history: June 18 to July 09 I Platform: YouTube.com | Duration: 24h
OST: YT Playlist
Final Thoughts:
Plot, directing and production was cheap and it’s showed. Except 2 male leads none of the other characters seemed like real humans but rather plot devices (I loved the villain tho) . Chemistry was ok so it wasall enjoyable enough but nothing to sit through again. But I kinda started really liking Mao Zi Juns acting. Looking forward to his other roles. -

Watch history: July 09 to July 15 (on-hold in 2018) I Platform: Viki.com | Duration: 16h
OST: It's You, Gravity Of Love, Nothing To Worry, Dream Of You
Final Thoughts:
Female lead was very annoying at the beginning, male lead was annoying/frustrating at the end XD This drama follows the very typical drama romance formula.
I actually liked the different problems the employees at an air port must face and they should've let the drama be just about that 8and romance) instead of squeezing a mystery/crime plot and sci-fi elements into it (and also dumb Melo drama at the end)
I also had a big problem with the way they let the characters react to a handicapped person. -

Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Watch history: July 18 to July 21 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 24h
OST: Paradise (op), Bloom, You Can Cry, Talking To The Moon ver 2
Final Thoughts:
These girls are so immature and stupid no wonder they failed as a group with the temper of some girls. Their fighting and hysterical outbursts are so annoying! How are they "friends" it feels like they know each other only for a month. Sorry but with this attitude towards this business (like a childs play) even I start to believe they dont derserve a second chance in the industry. It just not their place, they should go and be a kindergarden educator or smth
(Except Hyun Ji she should first get anger management therapy and maybe open a club or a loan company)
Srsl I loved the plot but hated most of the characters and their dialogue ?Writer of Misaeng

55. Vincenzo
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
Watch history: August 03 to August 11 I Platform: doramy.ru (rus dub) | Duration: 28h
OST: Lacrimosa, Adrenalin (such a meme song XD)
Final Thoughts:
This was a ride. I expected a typical law kdrama with a bit of cringy romance but at some point it just became unpredictable (most of the times) so many characters with unexpected “powers” and good comedy. And then I realized that the screen writer is the same as in Good Manager and Fiery Priest and everything made sense :D
But Last 2 episodes as always meh. Typical kdrama ending. -

58. Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Watch history: August 16 to August 20 I Platform: Netflix (GER) | Duration: 16h
OST: Beyond My Dreams
Final Thoughts:
This drama thrives on the romance. The profession of attorneys ist well written and the hearing are a joke even to someone who ist well versed in the field like me I can see how its totally unrealistic and I also didnt agree with a lot of the choices and arguments that made. Nevertheless I enjoyed the drama very much for the slice of life and romance plot and :) -
59. Descendants of the Sun
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Watch history: April 30 (2015) to August 24 I Platform: other (rus dub) | Duration: 16h
OST: Always, This Love, Talk Love, How Can I Love You
Final thoughts:
The priority of these "professionals" in a catastrophic setting isnt to save the people but to tie up boot laces and stare at each other in slowmo. The writers did a great job in making me dispise 99% of characters in this drama (the leads the most) ?
Omg the romance is painful to watch. I dont get their flirting at all. FL is fucking immature like a kid, but ML is not much better. His jokes, pranks and pick up lines are so bad/immature.
No wonder I dropped it back then & swore not to watch anything from this writer anymore.
Since I watched with my mom we could rant to each other. Love the actors and the OST tho. -

62. Café Minamdang
Korean Drama - 2022, 18 episodes
Watch history: September 28 to October 29 I Platform: Plex.tv | Duration: 18h
OST: Ghost Buster, Stay Awake, I like You
Final thoughts:
First of all I need to mention that Seo In Guks fashion in here was STUNNING! And that got me through a lot of boring and annoying aspects of the drama XD
Female lead is annoying and incompetent. FL and ML constantly biker like children. romantic chemistry? Ofc there is none bc they’re basically siblings at this point (and the flashback where male lead was teaching the fl when she was a teenager lingers in my mind and makes me uncomfortable when they’re about to kiss…) . But I do enjoy Seo In Guks character, it’s just HIS kind of character. Kinda immature but cute and nice and still very intelligent.
Other characters are very comical but I don’t mind. I really wished the drama would be more episodic with different cases to solve for the gang like in Taxi Driver and Tomorrow, it fits a lot more for that kind of cast of characters and comedic scenes than a hunt for a serial killer that is connected to politics and ML and FL following a personal vindetta against the killer *rme*
I must say eventhough the whole drama is mediocre at best, I quite enjoy the "endgame" of this drama XD. The real culprit is my style I like how he handles things. :D -

OST: Find You, Love Of Cang Lan (op <3), Ending
Final Thoughts:
It was good but not as awesome as I expected from the popularity of this drama. In terms of chemistry and story Miss The Dragon had me more involved. I love Esther and I love Dylan but it looks like not necessarily when they're together ? -
