Dramas Watched in 2022
2022 is a year that I have looked forward to for a very long time.
Even though i'm studying for- AHEM i mean, supposed to be studying for my exams, i still want to watch some very good dramas this year. I'm sure that once i finish school, I'll be able to watch all the dramas that I've been saving until after my exams. Until then, it'll probably just be lots of Thai lakorns and random series.
2022 is going to be the best year of my life... SO FAR

1. Theory of Love
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Completed 5/1/2022
Starting the year off strong with an OffGun series. Really enjoyed this one.. i like that you actually see them in college classes a few times... unlike other dramas where they never go to class once for the entire series, despite spending so much time on campus.

2. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
started on 30th October 2021, Completed on 23rd January 2022. Watched it every friday as it aired from the first episode.
I LOVED this show. It was brilliant. It took over my life for about 3 months and i miss it so much now. I love how everyone was somewhat obsessed with this show because it really was special. I could write pages and pages about my love for this show but i wont. It was brilliant and i loved it. I wish we'd gotten KornWai but it's fine, i'm not gonna cry about that.... i swear...

4. Enchante
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
this show was so stupid i dont know why i kept watching.
it had so many promising factors... a mystery, a pretty setting, likeable and pretty actors,
BUT NO PLOT??? Where did the plot go???
I enjoyed it but it wasn't very good. I'm glad i watched it though because i really like Force and Book as people. But damn they were given a dull series

Korean Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
watched from 29/6/2022 to 2/7/2022
THIS WAS SO GOOD.
A perfect blend of fun comedy and serious investigation. Ugh it was so good i kinda wish it was more than 12 episodes. Choi Jin-Hyuk looks so good as a zombie ugh i'm gonna binge more of his dramas i think.

7. 3 Will Be Free
Thai Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
watched from 6/7/2022 to 8/7/2022
SO GOOD. The whole vibe and aesthetic of this show was just perfect. It felt much higher budget than some other lakorns i've seen.
I wish we'd been shown more poly interactions between the group because at times it did feel more like Miw and Neo were a couple and Shin was just their third wheel homie who they got along well with.
Give me more poly dramas please

8. Cupid's Last Wish
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
watched from 9/7/22 to 12/7/22
I had been saving this one for after the leaving cert ended, but only watched it now.
Out of all the pairings in GMMTV, i think EarthMix is by far my favourite. Mostly because they were my first couple in my first thai drama (ATOTS) and because that was their first drama together, it felt nice that their pairing started at the same time as me starting my thai drama journey, so i feel very attached to them hehe.
Cupid's Last Wish is a nice chill countryside roadtrip drama. It's nice and easy to follow, but also entertaining. It never really got boring at any point, which some countryside kinda shows may tend to do. I love how they handled the bodyswap, the way they had mix acting even though in reality, his character was in his sister's body, worked really well as it showed that no matter which body he's in, he's still him.
It's a nice chill show, but honestly i'm so glad i binged it after it aired, because i think this style of show would be a bit boring if you watched it as it aired. Some shows are made to be binged, and this is one of them, so i'm glad i waited until now.

9. Star and Sky: Star in My Mind | Sky in Your Heart
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
watched from 13/7/2022 to 15/7/2022
A standard, good college drama, with not much going on, just a standard romance plot. Nothing more nothing less. It's one of those shows that you really need to just binge over a couple dull days in summer, rather than watching over a long time, or watching it weekly as it aired.
I really liked it tbh. Imagine if you took Sarawat and Tine's romance in 2gether but did it better, that's basically the romance in this show.
