Be Melodramatic/Melo is My Nature (2019) - having been a fan of this type of 'slice of life' genre dramas, I was really into it. Since more likely the ages of the characters is the same as mine, it is impactful to me. It feels like an older sister of Age of Youth drama. It radiates reality in me but with the addition of quirky and funny imperfect scenes. The characters in the drama are also cute and good, makes me want to be a part of them. Some of the life experiences that was featured in the drama I did go through which felt nice. I also like how each of the characters have a spotlight of their own, seeing how they dwell on their feelings deep inside. I cried and the lines of the drama have something that made you realize as a person.

Backstreet Rookie (2020) - what made me watched the drama is because of the controversies surrounding it. I did really like it at first but quite disappointed at the same time since it is another romantic comedy genre acted by Ji Chang Wook. I did like this one better than Melting Me Softly, but originality aspect still goes to MMS. What I did like most in the drama is the family part, I did cry in those parts. The leads does not really have a chemistry for me as romance partners. The vibes that this drama gives is that of a typical romantic comedy with over the top acting. The secondary couple are hilarious and I like the part where they put inputs about the drama "The Fiery Priest, I laughed. I'm hoping for a Ji Chang Wook drama that is on melodramatic, which I think suits him better.

Avengers Social Club (2017) - what keep me running away from the drama is the title. But what keeps me closer to the drama is because of Lee Yo Won as I am a fan of her ever since Pure Love Days, and I really like her as an actress. One of the dramas that I find other people who had watch the same because it was not that hyped in my circle but truly happy seeing reviews to how much they really like the drama. I super, duper like this. Dealing with revenge with ahjumma styles, is really fun. What makes it more engaging is that they are not 20+ age characters but ahjummas already, having their own share of experiences in life, and seeing their own struggles makes me want to embrace them and root for them all the more. The three ahjummas are so different especially in their background stories but having that formed friendship nevertheless, it was fun and inspiring. I do like the character development of each of the characters and there are surely lessons learned from this drama. A lot of the issues have been tackled which may seem dark in other dramas but they tackle it in a way that you will still feel the issues but engaging fun and comedic aura that balances. Definitely worth watching.

One of the best dramas that came out in 2022. I just watch this drama this year 2023 since I waited for the drama to be completed and it came out to be a good thing since I watch it without interruption of waiting a week for the next episode. It was intense and captivating. The drama did really well in portraying the emotions, and I could clearly see it. The transition of the drama is really good to me as well, I did not find it boring. The drama just revolved around the palace and politics which is the usual in historical dramas but this one did good in script and of course the female lead really carried the show. The young actors though needs more acting workshops since the older leads did well and I can't help but compare. Overall worth my time and highly recommended especially those that like historical themed dramas.

Only Just Married (Japan) (2021) – I like the drama, and contract marriage is one of the tropes in dramas that I like so far as a watcher. Japanese dramas are short but has sense into it, I really like how the male lead and the female lead are portrayed. Its pacing is pretty much slow but good slow for me.

The female lead is my favorite character, she is cute and relatable in a way especially at the beginning of the drama. The male lead may be frustrating, but I think it is just what the story and his character is, and I get the character development of his character.

I would definitely recommend this especially to contract marriage tropes enthusiast like me.

The story at the get go is interesting to me with a hint of comedy, it was fun up until the cheating part of the drama. I just didn't like how the author justified their love story with ruining the second female lead like that, because even if that's what happened I can't justify their romance. I was so bothered by it. The past era/scenes was fine with me but I guess I was not that convinced with it. The last part of the story felt rushed and no more excitement as it goes on. The actors were great for me as watcher, the side characters are fun and also given the spotlight. I was really into the spells theme in the first part but was really bored in the long run. I would recommend this one but I won't rewatch for sure.

True Beauty (2020) - maybe because the drama was so hyped I read the webtoon before watching the drama. I enjoyed the webtoon, typical school life but then the characters eventually grown up into adults and I was hoping to see the same in the drama up until I can't seem to see the progress in the drama. I was waiting for the part characters to grow up and have the mature roles just like in the webtoon but about the mid episodes in the whole drama they are still on the young era or the school era which I cannot relate and so I stopped watching it.

It was so long before I finished watching the whole drama since I take it forgranted or I just put it on hold since my interest in the drama really shoot down, and I didn't really find the story interesting at all since it was different than the the webtoon. I did finish watching the drama, I did find it regretful since they really didn't follow the webtoon version.

I really enjoyed this drama. I was not really expecting from this drama since it was not so hype on social media but it was a good watch. Seeing Lee Young Ae again as the female lead, she did not disappoint. The whole process of finding what is happening around her is so good. The pacing and thrill, cinematography was well done. I was waiting every week for the release of this drama and stop at episode 10 because I was not yet ready to finish this as it is only 12 episodes. I like the progress of the storyline, it's really great. I would recommend this drama to those who like thriller dramas.

The first 4 episodes was a bang. I just finish the drama yesterday and my thoughts are quite out of place. The drama is packed with well known but amazing actors and actresses in the korean drama world. Seo In Guk is really good, though I can only see his face with death and their conversations. Every episode is a way to present how valuable life is. The most memorable for me is the baby episode, it was not expecting it so I enjoyed it. They put some light moments in the drama, which I like since it is really a dark drama. The ending is a cliffhanger so will see if it will live up to the first parts of the drama.

Clean with Passion for Now (2018) - if you came from heartbreaking dramas, I would think that you would feel the same way as I did in this drama. I was literally laughing out loud with this drama, and I've realize that this type of drama is what I was watching before. Though I'm not a fan of RomCom nowadays, I'm still happy I've seen this in between my other serious dramas. I felt like this drama balanced out my emotions. Seeing Yoon Kyun Sang in a RomCom, it felt amazing to me since I felt scared with his other roles he acted in other dramas. It is my first romcom drama from him that I have seen. I totally agree that Song Jae Rim was not utilized as much in this drama, I mean his role is nice but I think it fell short to what he can do or what the character has to show. I still enjoyed the drama, I would recommend this to those who like Romantic Comedy genre.

Rooftop Prince (2012) - should have been one of my fave dramas but I already know the ending so the excitement was not there anymore while watching the drama. The first part of the dramas made me laugh, I still remember funny scenes from this drama, and I had fun for sure. Historical dramas really do tend to get serious, and I must say this drama hurts. The villains in the drama are really a good pick since I felt rage to them. The story itself is well written for me, at the same time I liked the suspense parts that I keep thinking who the culprit really is but sadly they did not give a back story to the side characters to at least justify why they are in the drama. Not on my favorite list but one of the best dramas for me at that time. It's worth watching.

The Princess’ Man (2011) - one of my best/fave kdramas and one of the best historical dramas up until now. Park Shi Hoo and Moon Chae Won are also one of the actors and actress that I really look forward to as actors in the Korean drama world. This drama is really good, not just in the love story aspect but also in the political aspect and all which is the usual in historical dramas. Though forbidden love is the main theme, I liked that they give the perspective on the storyline on what really happened to them. The acting was really great not just with the main leads but the side characters as well, and in fairness, the chemistry of the main leads is great, I felt the romance. I also like the ending though it was like that, it's fine with me. Still recommended and hoping to rewatch this soon.
