A Thousand Days Promise (2011) - okay, this drama hurts to much, and I cried a lot. I have seen the trailer for this one in ABS-CBN (*our local television network) with tagalog dubbed and I was curious and got interested. It's not just tears that fall down on my cheeks, but also my snot and all, gross but I was so hurt. It's too heartbreaking, its a sad drama. This drama is really melodrama at it’s highest and the cast simply shows that this drama is one of a kind. The lines in the drama are really well written and executed that I felt it. Would not rewatch for sure, I don't want to hurt myself again.

Protect The Boss (2011) - Choi Kang-hee and Ji Sung are both good in their craft, which I really adore as a viewer. This drama is categorized as romantic comedy, and it did makes use of the comedic style evidently which for me as watcher makes me question myself if I should believe it or not. Eventually both main leads and even the other parties involve in the love line are good. There are a lot of funny moments in the drama and the bromance part is really well executed. Though this drama has that typical Korean topic rich man falls in love with a poor girl, I like the fact that they did insist so much on the riches and gets serious in the the end (*just like what happened in Secret Garden). Though most likely I found myself laughing throughout this drama, there is that particular feeling of something missing that I cannot pinpoint and that is why I feel unsatisfied with it.

Blood (2015) - it really has potential, the concept of the drama being a vampire aspect as a disease is really cool and great. It was really a different take on having a vampire drama, which is quite the theme at that time. I was impressed at the first parts of the dramas, with all of it's effects and the aesthetic. Mystery wise there are questions along the way that got me curious until it just stop being interesting in the next episodes. It got dragging and the main reason of the drama seems lost. I did not really like how the drama progressed and the ending sucks.

Black (2017) - having seen the trailer on our local television network ABS-CBN before, with tagalog dubbed , I was quite curious why they get the drama, which usually they chose love stories/romance genre as the main genre. The trailer did not really have a big impact to me, but people around me keep recommending this one to me. I am not a fan of both leads especially Ara so there is no main reason for me to watch the drama. Since the theme of the drama is dark, and I like the genre that is not romance I did like it eventually. At first, I was not really into the special effects, I find it awkard and unbelievable but as it progress it gets better especially with the storyline and the actors/actresses did really well, I was hooked. I think the ending is satisfying, the questions were answered but I was still confused.

Birth of a Beauty (2014) - it really is romantic comedy that is somehow childish for me as a watcher. I find it so because of the leads characters. I like it for what it offers, having revenge as a plot line but not so complicated compared to makjang dramas. The first part of the story is really infuriating, and I think at that era of Korean drama or movies, it was about body image or plastic surgery. Female lead is familiar to me, as I have seen her in other dramas before. The main male lead also did great in acting and I think he always have the same role. But I don't think I was into the drama as much as others, it's one of the dramas that I had fun.

Miss Ripley (2011) - one of the dramas that was aired on our local television network ABS-CBN, and I was intrigued of this because of the trailer. Truthfully this type of genre is quite not the typical at that time for me since I was still a beginner in watching Korean dramas. It’s quite exciting to watch since I was so anxious that the main lead would be discovered with her lies, but I don't really support the decision of the main lead. I give credit to Lee Da Hae for portraying the role perfectly. Not quite convinced with Yoochun as the other main lead, maybe because his character was not given a back story, no character development for him. The other leading man Seung Woo is the more convincing one for me especially towards the romance part of the drama. Hye Yung-kee also didn’t really stood out for me as the other female lead, as I can't see a back story for her, maybe I was not convinced since there is no character development. Overall, the drama itself is really good thanks to Dahae’s acting skills and main plot which is adapted to a true story.

Big (2012) - I found this drama confusing, maybe because of the ending. The drama plot is interesting and got me excited to see something, but I don't what it is. The one thing I like about this drama is Gong Yoo's acting. Gong Yoo is really a good actor as is shown here in the drama, he really conveyed his manly side as well as his cute side. He carried his role so well. I know that there is a lot of complaints with the ending and I am one of them. I know most of the cast but I was still disappointed. I think this is not because of the acting or the actors but to the story and writing of this and also the pacing is not for me. I would not recommend.

Best Chicken (2019) - this drama just screams amateur, which is nice if you are an open minded watcher. Almost all the characters in this drama are new faces I have yet to discover except for the chef as I have seen him in other dramas, particularly in Fluttering Warning. First part of the drama I felt hungry since it is all about cooking. The main dish is chicken, and it looks so tasty on screen. This is a light drama to watch and there is no complicated conflicts in between, maybe at the end parts but I still like it since it's not too heavy. The ending was a bit questionable, but I guess they stick with the reality.

Pretty Man/ Bel-ami (2013) - I don't know why people didn't like this one because I find this drama really good. For me, it's one of IU's recommended dramas, though I don't like her character here. It was hard for me to move to the next episodes after watching the first episode because it does not really appealed to me, first turn off was the character of IU. Eventually, I did find the sense or the purpose of the drama and like watching it along the way. I did accept the characters in the drama and there are mind blogging parts in the drama that I was not ready, which are good points for me as a watcher.

Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life (2019) - it's been a long time since I watch a 100-episode Korean drama, and I struggled finishing this drama. The reason why I watched this drama is because I have a copy somehow and also Yoon Park is here, with the same role as a chef on Age of Youth. I super love him in Age of Youth that is why I was really looking forward to this drama but expectations vs reality hit me and I really struggled finishing this drama. I was affected and got hurt with what happened with the characters especially at the first parts of the drama, I cried a lot but still continue watching this. What I did is about 1 to 3 episodes per day depending on my mood. True to its number of episodes, they did the pacing slowly, alongside the revelations and the love story.
