Small review board
list wont be sorted by best to worst just time wise. Its made to keep tabs on watch history and how I felt shortly after watching drama.
-
1. Go Back Lover
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Quite average. I liked actors[focusing just on female ones]. Quite fan of
Xu Ruo Han. But this drama was too long story looked interesting at start, but scripts was bad and felt draggy. Actors was nice, but chemistry wasnt there. All three couples had quite average chemistry -
2. Dream
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Messy. Story about rich girl working in showbusiness having dreams about her future girlfriend. Story truly messy. Cat fights between actresses, romance under average chemistry and actors performance practically nonexistent.
-
3. Just You
Taiwanese Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
Pretty obvious its old drama. Its cringe romcom with big logic problems just it as was popular at these times. Still though cringe it manages deliver few funny moments. Nothing to see more than once though.
-
4. The Sweet Love Story
Chinese Drama - 2020, 27 episodes
lil spoilers here
|Weak 8,5. Its above average romcom. Cute and sweet from college environment. With quite amiable actors. And they went up for classic romcom problems like triangle. People wanting destroy relationship or breakeup in hard situation :for good of other lover. Thanks all it sadly story fells draggy by the end. Since its all just plots usually used to make drama longer. -
5. Her Fantastic Adventures
Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes
At start lookied at least little good. Classic transmigration into ancient times. Using food from modern time for quick success etc. At least she didnt introduced hamburger and fries as ultimate food as they do in other dramas of this type.
Overall its too long feels too draggy, editing makes story jump forward. Actors though got some cute interactions its not enough to catch watchers focus for 36episodes. -
6. Unlock Your Love
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Cute lesbian show two lower pairs. Acting average and story though nice idea execution wasn't very good. Still from lesbian shows better one at least for me.
-
7. The Judge from Hell
Korean Drama - 2024, 14 episodes
Strong 8,5. Its fun entertaining story, but romance part for me lacked little.
Though of giving it 9, but if I compare to for example Death's Game which got alike theme it feels short.
Story about demon coming to human word to punish criminals is entertaining for sure and one of best Park Shin Hye drama she ever did. -
8. À Mon Haeri
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Interesting theme about DID -multiple personality disorder. Which Shin Hye Sun managed to play very well[like always she is quite skillful actor] Other actors was good too.
But its where it ends. Story theme, actors is only thing good at this drama. Edit, endless jumps in time and perspective, script etc. ,makes this show quite average.
Wasted potential. -
9. Affair
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
little bellow average GL, story is shitty and angsty. Acting... right from start you could feel something wrong. They played :sibling or best friend like relationship:, but right from start they was too close. Right from start it was rather lowers than best friends even though they still had undefined relationship.
Anyway chemistry was there but its it. -
10. Walk Into Your Memory
Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes
Liked this one. Story is quite average type a lot romcoms got alike. Cold CEO with unusual problems meets unusual female which will brighten his world.
Still seems I got thing for female actress here. Her dramas got no very high ratings still I liked her in all three I seen till now.
Overall its weak 8,5 was enjoyable romcom -
11. Snowy Night Timeless Love
Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes
after long time was in mood for historical one.
Its good, but too long sometimes can get boring. Overall average drama.
Got nice chemistry, but sad ending -
12. Aishiteiru to Ittekure
Japanese Drama - 1995, 12 episodes
seen its new korean remake before about half year ago. So it was hard to not compare.
Luckily both dramas even they got alike theme and story are quite different. For example japanese version got quite few bed scenes and they tackle Old x young romance too. Meanwhile korean version was more artistic. Japanese version thank being as old as it is gives quite big throwback for old me. Who still can remember 90th.
Still average drama 8/10 -
13. Shuang Xi
Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes
Just completed it, initially planning to give it an above-average rating of 8.5. This was mainly because it deals with what I found to be unrealistic, exaggerated situations (although perhaps not—who really knows what goes on in high society?). Plus, it’s quite long, and the theme didn’t resonate with me. I didn’t enjoy The World of the Married either.
However, in the end, I rated it 9/10. I absolutely loved the role played by Jenny Zhang. Her character was complex and nuanced: starting as a “villain,” turning into an “enemy of my enemy,” then evolving into a “comrade in arms,” and finally becoming a “lifelong friend.” She went through significant hardships and changes but remained true to herself and sincere—not just with herself but also with the people around her.

14. A Tale of Love and Loyalty
Chinese Drama - 2024, 20 episodes
Type of plot I really hate. Very angsty one with sad end. But acting was very nice. Possessive MLs was good and FL though playing lady in mistress she still had inner strength to fight
-
15. Love Endures
Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes
Quality story, but for some reason I didnt really liked characters and jumps past X present
-
16. Ni De Huang Yan Ye Dong Ting
Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes
Loved all three main female actors. But male actors wasnt really worth it and story was too long with ending being kinda - :lets mess thing up to make watchers confused and fear what happens next:.
-
17. Zhui Xu
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
Great drama. Its entertaining. In fist half got a lot nice romantic scenes I just loved it. Well sadly second half of drama went into country wars, secret agents etc etc. Not like it wasnt good just not type of drama I prefer.
ending was okay but its more or less cliffhanger for second season which may never come. -
18. Apple
Thai Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
Cute and dumb GL at same time. A lot intimate scenes. Story could be better start was cringey later on it was okay, but things ideas they had at start of drama was totally unused in latter parts
-
19. Jon Kwa Ja Dai Ruk Gun
Thai Drama - 2024, 20 episodes
interesting premise, but cringe as hell. Main pair likeability fluctuates. Secondary pairs aint any good too.
----------------
Still premise of story really interesting. ML short summer romance with FL and falls in love. FL disappears just to show up as his future mother to be. -
20. Love Game in Eastern Fantasy
Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes
weak 8,5 for example Tiger and Rose was better. This drama got slow start. Middle of drama was nice but ending got weak again
only plus for this drama are actors
Esther is back in her pipsqueak voice roles. Not like I dont like her like that.
Zhu Xu Dan got finally some better drama to do too[I loved her in cute programmer. Though only drama I like with her.]. Sadly her role here wasnt exceptional more to average. -
21. My Little Princess
Chinese Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
dumb cringey, but okay for quick fun.
2016 romcom but by story style it seems more like 2010 romcom -
22. Di Jiu Jie Ke
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
seems like quality drama I liked acting and few scenes but wasnt okay with strory.
By story I dont mean teacher X student relationship which didnt fear go for sexuality nor for mental problems and love relationship where both sides heals each other.
---------
what I didnt like on this story was more about surrounding of main pair from school, parents, other students etc.
---------
Worth trying watch -
23. The Rise of Ning
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
strong 8. I really liked actors and their playing. But story felt very draggy and uninteresting for watching. Romance though nice and got some chemistry. There wasnt spark which would keep me wanting see more of it.
-
24. Lost and Found
Chinese Drama - 2024, 23 episodes
average .. classic story I would expect more from chinese vertical drama. But minidramas like these tend to have it too.
-
25. Chicago Typewriter
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
was kinda like Goblin just with average romance and worse bromance -
26. Fragile
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
average maybe bellow average.
School drama about kids overthinking and their relationship problems. Quite weird edit and abrupt ending, which I partly expected, but still just ended with :what the hell: in my head. -
27. Mr. Plankton
Korean Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
damn good roadtrip drama. With nice actors and quite sad story
-
28. Entre nouilles et démons
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
good shounen drama. Have all it should have. Maybe just lack romance storyline. But in shounen its quite often that way. They did hinted on it in first episode too while his talking with friend about their manga
-
29. Entre nouilles et démons 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
big fall in quality. Still no romance storyline and if there wasnt sucesfull season 1 this drama would have much worse rating. Average.
-
30. The Bride of Habaek
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
few nice scenes. Chemistry was nice too. But story not so much/ Secondary couples was worthless and no show.
-
31. Dong Lan Xue
Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes
quite nicemini story of :two villains: working together againts another villain and loving each other
-
32. Sunbae, Don't Put On That Lipstick
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Upper 8,5 it was quite enjoyable. I liked most characters, actors and pairings. At other hand it felt too long.
They could exempt some plots.
