Watched 2023

01/03/23 - 07/03/23

Frustrating and overall mediocre. Watched because of the role reversal and matriarchy stuff and needless to say both were underwhelming. ML was interesting though (and his smile) along with his courtesan buddies.

A simple fluffy watch. Not really giving a whole lot of anything and FL was kinda really irritating with how childish she was. Secondary couple were nice though

Cute and surprisingly well done miniseries. Interesting premise and plot twists and a very shippable couple <3 Funny and fluffy

Not quite what I was expecting. Had some interesting elements with the fantasy and the dynamics (family dynamics among others) but ultimately fell rather flat. SML was peak comedy and the lead couple were cute with the girlboss x malewife thing going on.

Cohesive, refreshing and lovely. It has the simplicity of a microdrama but it's consistent and surprisingly daring. Solid plot and overall quality with refreshing and unconventional characters (antihero/villain leads :O) and a lovely and spicy dynamic <3

Not a whole lot to write home about. The leads had a somewhat cute dynamic and the plot was okay for a microdrama but that's about it.

Simple and cute but definitely not good. ML was an absolutely adorable puppy and the dynamic between the leads was interesting and daring. More daring than most but  the budget was that of spare change and a dream xD

Surprisingly atypical. Unlike a lot of dramas out there. Academy setting with a solid mystery plot, good characters and an interesting setting. I liked the strong FL and the subtle supernatural elements. It felt very quirky but still serious

A quirky and unusual funny movie. Something about it was just charming. Overall the production and story was good enough but that's about it

One of those simple romcoms that you crave when life gets rough. I didn't watch S1 or S2 so I guess I'm lacking a bit of context but I still enjoyed it enough for what it was. Nothing standout, especially not in the RR department but overall good enough (I especially liked SML <3)

Fantastic beginning but took a hit at around the mid point and didn't quite recover. Overall it was a very solid watch but the comparison between the first half and the second is very stark. The OST was very good, the cat-and-mouse chase between husband and wife, and the fact that the leads are parents were all very good. Also very solid thriller with actual thrilling moments

An excellent drama! I was blown away by how good it was. The cinematography, OST, acting, characters, writing, wow! Definitely not for the faint of heart with how graphic and heavy it was but well worth the watch. It definitely tanked a bit in the end with an unsatisfying ending but that aside, very solid! Especially loved the characters' dynamics (and Yak <3)

One of those hidden gem minidramas. A lovely watch with an unusual and highly shippable couple (along with a cute supporting couple). Solid story, execution and quality!

Some fun and amusement but overall a mediocre watch. FL was interesting as was SML. The story was confusing and simple

I forgor like most of this, I remember it being strange but overall an okay watch

Cool and interesting in theory but ultimately lacking in execution. The story and melodrama dragged for entirely too long while the interesting developments were ignored or went nowhere :/

What an unusual and interesting drama!! Wow!!! That cinematography was stunning!!! Everything from the acting, characters, cinematography, filming... all of it was phenomenal! The story was very solid too but the final plot twist was a bit... ehhhhh

07/08/23 - 27/11/23

Story went sooooo downhill. Most of the story is ML and FL sitting around sick and dying and melancholic. ML turning into a red flag is also epic cringe. The villains were quite interesting in this part though. OST is still a stunner 

Recommend: ▲▲△△△ | ❌ Only worth a watch if you watched PT.1 and even then maybe not

10/12/23 - 12/12/23

Refreshing!! Role reversal done well. The production quality is terribly low but it's just so fun. Also ML's actor is something else, wow! Could've been better here and there but I really enjoyed it and will be rewatching

Such a treat!! Beautifully shot, interesting stories (lots of them) with a supernatural themes (but not really), compelling and well written characters with fun and interesting dynamics. Overall it was super well made! Looking forward to season 2!

I stumbled upon this in YT and ended up watching it. There's really not a whole lot to comment. The story is super shallow and vague, just a bunch of things happening. It could've been cool though

Not what I was expecting and overall very meh. It does have a very distinct vibe which I appreciate, kinda intentionally campy and I appreciate that.

A surprisingly cute watch. I watched it only 'cause of 'tea' in the title but ended up being pleasantly surprised xD Story was a bit confusing but the lead couple were very cute and it was just a fluffy watch

Really nothing worth watching for. It could've been good but it seems unsure of what it wanted to be and the overall potato quality made it honestly unwatchable T-T
