Completed in 2021

This year I'm excluding Kpop variety show stuff and stuff I re-watched. So this list will just be movies and shows I watched for the first time in 2021.     

Not on MyDramaList:

  • You Are Ma Boy (Vietnamese - 6 episodes) 7/10 - The plot was kinda shit and it was pretty cheesy. Kind of cute in some spots tho.
  • Follow My Sunshine (Vietnamese - 5 episodes) 8.5/10 - The perfect plot for mee. Friends to lovers. Could have been way better though.

    Holy shit this drama was insane from start to finish. An incredible concept that mixed Hunger Games and Alice in Borderland and it's own unique concepts. It was dramatic and suspenseful and had a clear message. I love dark shit like this that calls out the greed and selfishness of humanity. So good. And realistic! And sooo gory jesus. 

  • Hallo? Lente Komt Er Aan

    Did a good job of getting me invested in 5 minutes, also had a plot twist that surprised me. Pretty good as far as short films go. Cute too.

  • Peach of Time

    Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

    no wtf. Why. This show had so many good aspects, a great general idea, an amazing Thai x Korea crossover, and a very sweet and cute romance. But then everything else sucked. Too many storylines, not enough focus on the main plot, abandoned development on one storyline halfway through, the lip syncing for the singing voice overs was awful, so much just didn't make sense at all and was never explained. They didn't even show what happened to some characters AND THE ENDING WAS TRASH. The bad just outweighs the good I'm sorry. Still, it did manage to pull an 8 from me anyways. But I'm definitely not happy after watching this.

    You know I love me a sexy serial killer plot Mmm. Good shit. Loved the thrill and the unexpected ending. My kind of movie for sure.

  • As the Gods Will

    107. As the Gods Will

    Japanese Movie - 2014

    8.0

    This has got to be the weirdest thing I have ever watched. It was interesting for a one time watch but I can't give it more than an 8 because the lack of explanation was not cool. I'm fine with a little mystery but like damn they didn't explain one single thing. Even the ending was bizarre and apparently there's not a sequel so now I just have to wonder for the rest of my life. I did like the Main Character and some of the other characters, they weren't that deep but they were fun to root for. I did like how it kept the suspense until the end, and how each game was different, and how they were like stuff you actually had to figure out rather than a straight forward "you do this to win". The visual aspects were better than expected as well.

  • Forgotten

    108. Forgotten

    Korean Movie - 2017

    9.0

    This movie was wilddd. Omg. It actually kind of freaked me out at the beginning but then it got super sad DX. Overall, a really great psychological thriller although I'm good at guessing so I wasn't too surprised. An enjoyable watch, but low rewatch value since once you know the secret, you know.

    Even though this wasn't one of my fave Korean BL's I still really like it, and rewatching it after a while was still really good. I forgot a lot of it so I got surprised by some of it, and re-felt a lot of the emotions. I may have almost cried but shh don't tell anyone

    Not as interesting as I thought it would be. Kind of a let down, really. Nice plot twists I guess but a lot of it was poorly explained. Kind of slow and boring as well. Didn't really work as a thriller which is more of what I was hoping for. Amazing acting though.

    I had high hopes for this one. Once again I thought there might finally be a GL that would truly be good. But alas, yet again I was disappointed. Not that it was bad, I did appreciate the realness I suppose. But I also didn't appreciate it. I've never like gaga, and I feel like this felt like a very "them" thing to do. I couldn't connect to it, I couldn't feel the characters. And the ending... yikes. Not to mention the pacing and how short the episodes were :/ I also didn't like the self hatred theme (which ofc, many lgbt people feel that's real ofc. I was fortunate enough not to experience it but I've known many friends who have) The only reason I didn't like it for this series is because *SPOILERS* in the ending since they didn't end up together and it kind of ended up with them both being like "we hate ourselves, being gay is the wrong choice we're just gonna stay with our husband/boyfriend" and that felt homophobic to me lol. I don't know. 

    I just want one full length cute GL with a happy ending damnit. *sobs* I'm tired of being dissapointed.

    Had to watch this for MJ <3 He did so good and he was so cute. The drama itself was alright but the mystery was so easy to figure out that I got bored.

  • The King's Affection

    130. The King's Affection

    Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes

    7.0

    Had a good start and then just became so excruciatingly boring I could barely get through it. I hate historical dramas as it is and I don't like crossdressing dramas either. The sole reason why I ever attempted watching was because of Rowoon and Byungchan (who both did really good) but all in all, total waste of time. Didn't even have a nice message about gender of sexuality.

    okay this drama was so cruel bc the first episode was so deceiving it looked so awful and toxic I dropped it mid episode. But then my friend convinced me to give it another shot and OMGH MASTERPIECE. The emotions omg. It was just so real. Although as an asexual it made a teensy uncomfy I like how open they were about teenagers and uhh y'know, how they act. They like brought in all these elements that were so amazing. And I loved the concept of really liking someone come without reason. We don't know why we like them, we just do. Beautiful. 10/10. Might be one of my fave BL's

  • I Told Sunset About You Part 2

    This was actually an amazing drama to watch for my final drama of 2021. I sobbed so much omfg. I refused to watch it for so long bc I was worried it would ruin S1 for me but it didn't. It made it even better. It was so beautiful and real and just- *sobs*
