Hello!
Haven't watched dramas in a while now (have I changed or have dramas changed?), but here's a tribute to the ones that hold a special place in my heart. Occasionally I log back into this site with hopes of finding that old trill again ;^) I'm not sure I'll find a show that will rivet me like before, but watching the dramas in this list are memories I still cherish :^)
I marked with a "★" that extra thing that made the drama special for me, and there's a "✎" for the ones I reviewed.
Sungkyunkwan Scandal
★ Smart and pretty people with goals.
Reply 1997
★ Great actors, well written. Humor and wistfulness in one package.
Last Cinderella
★ Gotta love those characters that don't fit into cookie-cutter drama molds. Even if their jobs are sometimes morally dubious. Lol.
I Hear Your Voice
★ A great team to fight the world's adversities as well as their own.
Que Sera, Sera
★ Gritty, intense, raw. Maybe the drama that moved me the most.
ToGetHer
★ When true love transcends bad hair.
Shut Up Flower Boy Band
★ A drama that helped me understand the transition into adulthood when I was going through it myself. Who said friendship is less complicated than romance?
Shan Shan Comes to Eat
★ Loving ML, loveable FL. Sometimes that's all you need.
Autumn's Concerto
★ The little boy! I loved how his mother and he felt like such an indestructible and loving entity.
Age of Youth 1 &2
★ Well written, well acted. Kudos to this drama for portraying such different women (especially the ones that would be typecast as evil in mainstream dramas) in a compassionate light. Just loved it.
Love in the Moonlight
★ The prettiest romance ever shot.
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
★ Forget the gangsters, the high-schoolers and the badly written gat character. Stay for the OTC. Love Bong Soon for being kinda petty.
Radio Romance
★ Desperately in love heroe? Check. I'm in. Su Ho was all intense and glowering and longing from episode 1. Geu Rim was someone I'd liked to have as a friend. Loves this drama most people found lackluster. Also worth it for the coats, lol.
