Drama Watchlist of 2025
This list comprises of dramas that I've finished in 2025 in the order that I've watched them. Dropped dramas are not included in this list.
For my new rating system, the higher the score is, the less flaws I noticed or problems that bothered me during the process of watching. Subsequently, the lower the score, the more complaints I had when watching.
Rating System:
9-10: Figurative masterpiece. I’ve acknowledged that no drama is perfect but this drama came close to that in my enjoyment level, the higher the score (9.5-10) the less flaws I could find. = Would Recommend
8-8.5. Great: It was intriguing and it’s good enough to satisfy a watch and I recommended. However, there were a couple problems in the story that I couldn’t overlook. = Would Recommend
7-7.5: Average/Good Enough: The drama had the potential of being great and I enjoyed portions + major elements of the story, but not the entire show. (This category belongs to shows that might've dragged at a certain point causing me to get bored, the storyline changed abruptly and/or was too predictable. Despite this, it did not have enough flaws that would cause me to drop). = I didn't regret watching but is a 50/50 recommendation
6-6.5: It was "okay": I didn’t fully enjoy watching it as much as I thought I would but might've had one or two elements that made me want to see how it might've redeemed itself. (This category belongs to dramas where I found myself skipping scenes, 1.5-2x speeding or rushing to finish) = Not Recommendable.
5-5.5: Not good/Not THAT bad (still kinda bad) but I don’t recommend because the story was basically non existent and I probably shut my brain off while watching. = Not Recommendable.
</=4: Anything in this bracket I should’ve quit on. It wasn’t good in any capacity but I caught don’t drop the drama disease. = Not Recommendable.

Favorite Ep(s):
My yes's:
- FML is strong, resilient and levelheaded. In her first scene, even with act of betrayal in the midst from her current husband, she’s able to see clear from the pain.
- Plot is refreshing, something i haven't seen before.
- Slow and intriguing build-up to Song Mo and Dou meeting
- Its interesting watching how the female lead uses the book of truths and strategize a peaceful ending.
- Chemistry >>>
My no's:
- Dou’s communication issues and lack of asking for help
