2024: Completed

Death’s Game offers a high-octane action-packed story with an incredible cast.  I enjoyed this.  Though the cameos were sometimes very brief, it was expected with this type of premise.  While most of the story relies on action to move the plot, the last note tries to tug at the heartstrings.  It feels a bit uneven in tone, but overall well done!

I can’t get enough of this creepy-as-hell opening theme!!  

Gyeongseong Creature is a monster story that explores the depravity and desperation of human beings.  I appreciated the re-imagined historical backdrop and the sympathy for the monster take.  Entertaining enough to watch, but I found it kind of predictable.  I personally had issues with the romance line since it wasn’t timed very well.  Yet overall, I did like how this drama wrapped.  

I loved Han Soo Hee’s acting with the creature.  
It’s funny to me that her chemistry with this gruesome creature was better than it was with Park Seo Joon.  Haha!! (6 Jan)

I enjoyed the added elements in season three.  It did add extra intrigue. All the Lee Gwan Hee drama this season made for peak television!!  God, he's sooo indecisive!  Choi Hye Seon and Lee Jin Seok were my favorites this season. (9 Jan)

I really wanted more for our Cho Sam Dal and Cho Yong Pil!  Ji Chang Wook had the sweetest heart eyes as our male lead. I really enjoyed the backstory of the Mi Jas and watching their friendship and their families. Even so, this drama felt quite rushed towards the end and had significant pacing issues.  I wasn't so pleased with how they wrapped up a number of the plotlines, and the finale ... I don't quite know what it added to the plot.  I needed more cute between our lead couple ... This could have been an OTP ... but ... (21 Jan)

The lead couple is soooo precious!

This is an excellent fluff show.  I really liked the light tone and the recurring themes of sea otters and the children’s picture book.  Yuri and Tae Oh are absolutely darling ~ 

It is great to see Chae Jong Hyeop in a Japanese production.  He is such a cutie pie!! (5 May)

The lead couple was adorable, but this drama is extremely light on plot.  I feel like the premise from the start was intriguing enough, but don’t invest and try to rationalize the multiple timelines, it won’t matter in the end.  While I feel the overall message that our memories across lifetimes accumulate in our souls, it makes for such messy writing … This is a multiple-timeline drama where none of the timelines matter … 

The drama goes all in on this inconsequential murderous taxi driver plot, which makes little to no sense … It’s particularly shameful how much airtime they dedicate to it to just deal away with it in the most unsatisfactory way at the beginning of the finale.  

Though this drama has a promising start and an adorable lead couple, this drama had too much filler for my liking.  (28 May)
