Watchlist 2019

Not my cup of tea.  The acting is good, but the story is a bit too "out there" for me.  I fast forwarded through nearly everything that didn't directly involve the main leads or Lee Hong Ki's character.  I'm sure there were probably some interesting things that I missed and if you are into these type of fantasy shows, you might really like it, but for me...not so much.

I loved this drama.  It's sweet and realistic in it's view of first love.  It's not too angsty, but also not so cute that you cringe.  The cast of characters is great and the actors/actresses do a wonderful job in their roles.  It's not perfect, but it's got so much heart that you can easily overlook small flaws.  I highly HIGHLY recommend it.

This was a easy to watch and well done.  I enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this drama!  Loved the two leads together and the friends were awesome too.  Really fun show!

This show had a really interesting story line and great acting.  The characters are well written and the mystery has a lot of twists. The leads are great together.  Even so...it felt like something was a bit off.  I can't really put my finger on it, but it was like each episode was a tad too long.  All in all though, it was a good show and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a crime drama (with a bit of romance on the side).

Violent and I didn't really understand/like the ending.

Was ok as a show.  I found myself disliking one of the female lead characters, so I didn't care much about her story line.  It was impossible to skip totally though because it was a bit interwoven with the other female lead's story.  The story of the naive girl female lead who learns to be confident was much more interesting to me. 

Cute

I didn't like this one as much as I thought I would, but it was ok.

So much fun!

Loved it!

Cute show.  Love the leads together.  

This is an interesting drama that has several twists that keep the story flowing.  It's a fun story of friendship and how adults can make poor decisions even when trying to protect their children...and sometimes out of jealously as well.

I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would.

Cute Saturday morning type show.  

First let me say, that I REALLY enjoyed this drama.  I watched the whole drama in about 3 days, so that is saying something.  However, it'snot perfect.  The noble idiocy is EXTREMELY annoying and the Female lead cries buckets All.The.Time...which gets kind of annoying.  But I think that was how her character was written so that's not a jab at the actress...just an annoyance with the character.  But for real...it's a lot. One thing I did think was really cool was how one character changed from someone I really didn't like to someone I did like.  I won't say more than that though because I don't want to give away any spoilers.  All in all though a really really good drama with top notch acting throughout and I'm so glad I watched it.

Interesting take on the things going on among teenagers, but I found the ending a bit confusing.

I really wanted to like this show.  I mean, it has good acting, an interesting plot, and it's well done overall, but it just didn't click with me.  It felt too long.  You know how there can be certain scenes where if you pause for just the right length of time, it adds a good effect or tension, but if it's too long a pause, it just gets awkward.  This felt like the latter.  Stuff was drawn out just a bit too much where you didn't quite know how to feel.  And the fact that it kept skipping to a historical comic book off and on did NOT help matters.   I got very frustrated about halfway through and was just trying to get through the last few episodes.  It's a shame too, because all the actors did a great job with what they were given.  

I fast forwarded A LOT in this drama.  It just didn't keep my attention and  some of the humor wasn't in the best taste. Lots of issues with the various situations too.  

Nice story and good characters but only ok overall. Fast forwarded a bit to get through it.

Adorable and fluffy

This is a side story of A-Teen, but I wasn't a fan of the way the story unfolded.

Really cute, but not subbed.  I made it all the way through all the episodes anyway though.  :-)

Always fun to watch them chatting together.

Fun! The quizzes were interesting too.

Can't go wrong with GOT7!

I always enjoy these types of variety/reality shows.

Decent drama.  Only real drawback is the choices made by the FL about halfway though the drama. She's exceedingly frustrating at times, but the other characters are fun to watch and even she is fine most of the time.

It was nice to see the characters from the first season together, but for me, the "issue" that caused conflict was just too silly.  A big part of it revolved around choosing whether or not to go to college with your friends/boyfriend and since the colleges in question didn't even seem to be all that far apart, the whole idea that there would even be a conflict because of it seems rather far fetched...at least to me. The issues of the 2nd lead couple did seem more plausible.  Cute show overall though.

Slow, but decent.

Amazing Acting.  Great writing.  Just incredible all the way around.  I loved it so much!!!

Solid show, well written, extremely well acted.  Great lead couple and the second male lead is an awesome character too.  One of my faves of any drama.

Love these type of shows and this one is very cute.  In the first episode they are VERY awkward, but it's fun to see them grow and get more comfortable as it goes along.

This was the best drama I have seen in a long time. Excellent writing, interesting twists, great characters, and not a single part I needed to fast forward through (except the credits sometimes).  It was amazing and I HIGHLY recommend it.

This movie is so bad. It's filmed in a way that often makes you dizzy, it's plot is just bad on many levels and it encourages sex way way too early.  I really have nothing positive to say about it except that their is a bagel toward the end of the film that two of the characters are eating and it's rainbow colored.  I'd never seen one of the those before.  I was more curious about how it might taste than anything else in the film...so that says something right there.

This show is great if you are looking for a short drama.  It's got good characters, a sweet story, and is easy to watch. My only complaint is that it ends rather abruptly. Other than that though...super cute.

It's taken me about a year to finish this show.  It's a relaxing show to watch when you just want to enjoy some pretty scenery and fun personalities.  Not really something to binge though.  I enjoyed both seasons. 

I bit odd, but ok.

I watched this mostly as it was released on Viki and I think that hindered my enjoyment a bit.  I think it would be a good "Binge" show, but because the episodes were very short and there was a massive wait between episodes, it was hard to stay invested like I wanted to.  I will probably watch it again later now that it's all out and subbed.  I might give it a higher score then.  We will see.

This show had a twist that totally surprised me.  Short and interesting!

I liked this show, but it was a bit frustrating that it takes a LONG time for the love story to fully take hold and the ending is very strange.  Not bad necessarily, but leaves you going, "Wait, that's it?" You sort of wish there was one more episode.  

I really enjoyed this mini drama!!!  Super cute!!!

This show is so fun.  I really enjoyed it.  I hope there are more episodes, but there haven't been any new ones in months, so I'm assuming that it will only have 2.  Always fun to watch idols cook and chat.

Sad but sweet.

Fast Forwarded A LOT, but made it through.  Main leads are cute together.

Very interesting and well acted movie.

Cute show.  Good cast.  Well acted.  Solid drama all around.  

I thought this show would be cute, but it's just pretty odd.  I fast forwarded through probably half of every episode because of the utter nonsense being spouted by so many of the female characters.  

The main cast is cute.  The story is a bit tiresome in parts so I fast forwarded quite a bit. The FL character is a bit tough to take at times as well. Not the best drama, but not the worst either.  

Several twists and turns, but it was a bit confusing at times.  I may have been too tired to grasp it all, but it was just ok for me.

Very cool show.  NOTE: MDL has this listed as 9 episodes, but there are only 5.  

Cute show.  

So good.  If it had English subs I would have given it a 10!

This show is just so cute!  If it were subbed I would give it a 10.  You can't not grin while you watch these male idols try their best to put makeup on the female celebrities.  It's a hoot!

A little slow in the first few episodes, but very good!

I really enjoyed this movie.  Sweet and somewhat sad, but still hopeful.  :-)

Super cute! I enjoyed it, but the Mom was an awful character so I fast forwarded through most of her scenes...same for the sister. 

There is so much NOT to like about this show.  The FL character is a mess.  There is seriously nothing likable about her. She treats her male BFF like he's her servant and shows no appreciation whatsoever. She has an affair with a married guy, she uses her appearance to get ahead in her job, she has a foul mouth, drinks like a fish and is just a HUGE mess. What IS to like is Lee Seung Gi.  His character, while an utter doormat is at least a loyal friend.  PLUS:  the MAIN perpetrator in the chat room scandal (I don't even want to write his name out, but at least he confessed) is one of the supporting characters.  It was all I could do not to squirm every time he was on screen...playing a photographer no less!!!  I had to ff most of his scenes...just couldn't take it.

A little confusing, but ok.

Slightly better than the prequel, but still somewhat confusing.

VERY odd premise.  There is an ick factor with the storyline of the Older brother and the Younger Sister, but nothing happens so it's not horrible...just still odd.  The Older Sister character is a horror.  She's terrible to the people around her and it's hard to "root" for her at all.  Honestly, I would have ff through every scene she was in, but I liked her love interest which is the Younger Brother (the Sisters are not related to the Brothers) so I couldn't always do so.  Just strange all the way around.  

Such a good show.  I really like how the main characters already know each other when it begins so you get to skip that "awkward getting to know you phase" of their relationship.  Though they are not together, they are very close and it's a fun relationship to watch develop.

Such a good show.  I really enjoyed it. My only complaint is the amount of time it takes the leads to get together. It's MUCH too long...so much so that I fast forwarded much of the last few episodes because I just didn't want to wait for them anymore.   Even so, it's such a good show. The main plot was interesting and I enjoyed the stories of the side characters as well.  

Now I understand the BT21 characters connection to BTS.  Before I saw this I was clueless.

This is a cute show. The main issue is the side female characters.  They are so frustratingly one dimensional. Most of them are either ditsy, mean, boy crazy,  or some combination thereof.  Also there is a  cliff hanger in the last episode so it's a good thing there is a season two or I'd be really upset with the ending.

This show picks up right where season 1 left off.  It's a fun show and uses the same characters as the first season so it feels familiar. There are some rather annoying scenes in both seasons where classmates gossip, but that can be overlooked or FF through. Thankfully it does not end on a cliff hanger so that's a blessing.  But it does feel like a rather abrupt ending. I know there is a 3rd season, so I suppose the story finishes there.  

So cute!  I really enjoyed this show!

This one was cute and contrary to the photo promo, it's very sweet rather than sexy.  I thought it was a fun one to watch.

So cute!  Just so cute!!!

My favorite version of this story...the actors/actresses do a really good job.  The villain is beyond awful and is played well, but she's hard to watch because she's so mean.  I enjoyed the show, but it's really hard to not see the female lead character as a bit strange since she's falling in love with a robot. On the other hand, you really do feel for the robot who want's to be real. 

Such a fun show!

Enjoyed the main character's storyline.  I fast forwarded through most of the side plots.  They were not boring, but I just was more interested in the main story.  

Such a cute show.  Silly that Netflix cut it into two seasons though since it is really just one drama.  My favorite pairing in this drama is the actor and heiress friends that are staying with the Male Lead.  They are just adorable together.

The second half of the the drama and it was great.  I really enjoyed this drama in it's entirety. Great characters, found family, sweet people, believable issues (well...sort of), and a happy ending.

Super cute, fun and fluffy.

I really really liked this drama.  There was a bit of angst toward the end that I could have done without, but there's a happy ending so that's ok...though the last scene seems a little odd to me.  Not bad, as it offered a way to review the story, but still...a bit odd to me.

Silly but fun

The first season of the series, but I watched it 2nd.  The members are SO SO Young.  It's neat  to see them before their debut though.

I liked this season too, but there were a few games that felt like they were unnecessary.  

My favorite season thus far.  This group just worked together so well.  

Another fun series.  Following the idol's journey through the reality shows are one of my favorite types of shows.

Super Junior's Leeteuk and Shindong were in this series!!!

Loved the recipes!!!

Another good season. This time the focus was one NCT 127 of 2016

Seriously odd

I new the outcome and it was still brutal to watch at times.  

Such a fun show!!!! 

What on Earth did I watch?  This show is just messed up on so many levels.

I was pretty unfamiliar with this group until I watched this show. Can now say I'm a fan!

Such a good movie.  I liked it better than the drama version (Love O2O).  

This show was a bit of a roller coaster with three main leads, but it was great fun to watch.  Couple things that stood out as odd:  NO teachers in the school...and no class work either.
The students are supposed to be 15 (it's mentioned in the first episode), but there is not one scene in the show where they look or act even remotely 15.  It if had said 18, it might have worked, but at 15...NO.  The only character that acted like a real 15 year old was one of the adults in the show.  So, if you think of it as a college drama rather than a 1st year of High School one (which is the actual setting), you'll probably like it better and it will make more sense.  Overall though, a good show that totally sucked me in.

Every Actor and Actress does an amazing job in this show, but that being said...there are so many issues with this drama.  From the way it portrays people with weight issues (as if they are problems to be dealt with), to the way it discusses suicide (and even homicide) to the selfishness of the Female Lead (both versions), it's just not an easy watch. I did watch it though hoping to see that they would change the way they viewed the heavy Female Lead and that does happen to a certain extent, but, with the exception of the Male Lead, some of the cast still seem to view her "real" self as an illness or found it utterly shocking that the Male Lead would love her and that was disheartening.  So, I give them credit for making an effort, but there was still a long way to go with this drama.

Such a sweet and fun show.  The characters are great fun and there isn't and not an "evil"villain anywhere. Just slice of life drama with super adorable leads.  

A nice way to finish off the drama, but it doesn't really add anything to it.  Gives a few extra scenes, but I had hoped there would be more about the birth of the son or something.  Even so, adorable like the rest of the drama.

Just super cute!

Great cast. The 5 leads are great together.  Decent show.  WAY too long.  

Good Cast, Good characters, but overall not my favorite drama.  I think I found it a bit too long.

Love Love Love Love this show!!!

Super short and very cute.
