5. Soratobu Kouhoushitsu
Japanese Drama - 2013, 11 episodes
Didn't capture my attention very much. There was a lot of focus and time given to the supporting characters stories but they weren't very interesting. Ayano Go's acting and character didn't particularly stand out. The story was decent overall as it attempts to show characters moving on from failed dreams and striving on to make new ones.

6. My Rosy Life

My (spoiler-free) thoughts....

7. Jumong
Korean Drama - 2006, 81 episodes
Not a single boring moment. It had me invested throughout the 81 episodes ♥ Memorable cast whom I loved watching and good story telling were the strong points. I can see why this is considered such a classic.
Will start Jewel in the Palace soon. Have a feeling I will like this one too (hopefully...)

8. Strangers from Hell
Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
Started off quite interesting and intriguing but it didn't sustain my interest from episode 7 to the end. LDW acting was okay considering I tend to avoid the dramas he has been in.

9. Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo
Japanese Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Weak and underwhelming. Watchable if you're a fan of Sato Takeru but don't expect too much in terms of story and character depth.

15. Flower of Evil
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Ticked the boxes for being interesting and intriguing. Good acting in general from the main cast and little Eun Ha is so sweet. Haven't rated it as high as others here. Although I liked the lead couple I didn't feel any particular attachment to them. Towards the end the direction changed to something more formulaic. Despite some minor things I can easily recommend this crime/thriller melo. (A certain product placement kept catching my attention xD)

18. Si bien chez soi
