I Liked It!! Super Funny & Enjoyable :)

Story: This is where Moonshine falters the most because there are plot holes and things that do not make sense. BUT if you go in knowing this, I think the show is still a nice watch. I was able to still enjoy the show but I did raise my eyebrow at parts.

As far as the romance, it's kind of a slow burn. It took me a few episodes to get into the couple because I was having a little bit of second lead syndrome but I found them cute later on!

Acting/Cast: Everyone did pretty good!! I started watching for Yoo Seung Ho because I loved him in "I am Not a Robot". It took a little bit for me to get into his character in this drama but after a few episodes I grew to like him!! All the characters may need some getting used to but I think all of them are lovable by the end.

Music: I liked it!! They added to many of the scenes, especially the romantic ones in my opinion. "Who You Are" by Ha Sung Woon is my favorite <3

Rewatch Value: I don't rewatch shows usually but I found this one entertaining so I could see myself watching it in the future!!

Moonshine is definitely a "unique" drama but if you find the comedy is to your liking and want a drama that doesn't require a lot of brain power I would check it out lol. It's not perfect by any means but you might enjoy it like I did.

Happy Watching!!

Heartbreaking but Beautiful

I was looking for dramas that have a fall vibe and obviously this one came to mind because of the name.. it's a tearjerker though so be warned (I was aware of this beforehand). Honestly this story hurt, it's the 1st show that has made me sob.. only 2 dramas before this have made me tear up/cry a little so that tells you something. On the other hand... it was beautiful and engaging, there's nothing that I didn't like about this drama to the point I would rate it lower.

-The plot is a little strange but it's clear the main leads stopped seeing each other as siblings when the truth was revealed. There's also a lot of crying involved but the story calls for it so it didn't bother me much. I think the pacing was good and made sense for the drama as well. Overall, I think it was well written and the scenery is beautiful <3
- The cast was amazing, everyone played their part so well. The acting was great :) I can thank this drama for redeeming SHK for me lol (I was a little iffy about her after watching her in DOTS but I really liked her in "Autumn Tale" :) ) This drama also solidified my love for Song Seung Heon (I adored him in "My Princess" and I loved him in here, I can't wait to watch more of his dramas!)
-The music fits the show perfectly and when you read the lyrics it makes the show that much more heartfelt... I loved it for the drama <3
- I don't think I could ever rewatch this because of the tear-jerking story... it would hurt but this drama will stay with me for a long time

It took me 2-3 days to finish this drama, that's how into it I was. I skipped a few times, not because I was bored, but because I really wanted to know what happened next lol. If you're not into/looking for a melodrama I do not recommend this. This drama is the essence of melodrama so steer clear. Other than that, I recommend this drama, just have your tissues ready! If you're a fan of Song Hye Kyo or Song Seong Heon I also recommend!

At a Distance, Spring is Green was a good drama that highlights the highs and lows of youth. It wasn't perfect but I think it conveyed the message well.

Story- I liked the story and how different each character was. I also liked the fact that despite their differences all of them were somewhat similar in the fact that they had healing to do. Yeo Joon's story even made me cry and I usually don't cry for fictional characters 😭. The best part of the show for me was the bromance and everyone finding a solution for their problems. I loved watching everyone become stronger and wiser when they were able to close certain chapters of their life. One of the things I didn't like was the development of Yeo Joon's relationship. I think it would have translated better if it was slower burn considering Yeo Joon and his girlfriend's individual situations. With that said, I thought their relationship was cute! Also, love is a part of some people's youth so I think it was a nice addition to the story :) I don't think the relationship was the main focus at all either. The main focus was really Yeo Joon and then Soo Hyun's story.

Acting/Cast- Everyone did a great job portraying their character!! I will say I'm really not a huge fan of the super frail female character and Soo Bin was kind of like that. Her back story kind of explains why though so I could understand somewhat. I also think Soo Bin and Mi Joo could have had better character development but I enjoyed all of the characters :)

Music- The music is good!! My favorite song is We Will Be Not All Together by Rothy and Han Seung Yun <3
I also love WAY by Chancellor!

Rewatch Value- I usually don't rewatch shows but if I did I would mind watching this one again because it was a good story :)

Lowkey Gave me Whiplash...

It took me 2 tries to watch this show because I'm not a fan of thriller and I got scared the 1st time lol. A part of me wishes I just stuck through it the 1st time because I probably would have liked it more earlier on in my Kdrama journey (a year ago vs now)...

Story- The plot was dragged out for too long (didn't reveal the villain orgin story until like ep 37, main couple is involved with major drama trope for a while, etc.). The show got uninteresting during the 2nd half, especially at the 30 ep mark till the end. There was random situations that happened that didn't really add to the story and overall just a lot of filler. I think it should have been a 32 ep drama instead. I still enjoyed the essence of the drama but I wish it didn't go in a constant circle.
-I low-key had mental whiplash with this drama... 1 moment everything was going decent and then something happens and sometimes in weird spots (like their first night together). Overall, the timing was weird sometimes lol
-The main couple was also cute but a lot of their appeal disappeared halfway through with all of the tropes surrounding their relationship. Noh Ji Wook was a really appealing boyfriend though :)

Acting/Cast- I really enjoyed this cast for the most part! This is my 2nd JCW drama and I really liked him in this. I didn't enjoy NJH's character much... she just didn't bring much personality wise to me. I almost think NJH acting itself was a part of the problem but this is the 1st drama I've watched her in so I won't judge her completely on this role. Everyone else was good and made the story a bit more enjoyable, especially in the later parts!

Music- The OST is good!! A lot of cute and endearing songs :) My favorite is "How Do I Say It" by O.When <3

Rewatch Value- I don't rewatch shows but if I did I wouldn't sit through "Suspicious Partner" again. Maybe I would watch some funny or sweet moment clips

Overall this isn't a bad show, just not my favorite. It got draggy for me. I think this makes a great beginner drama though! If you're a fan of any of the actors I do suggest you try it out!

Happy Watching :)

Confusing but Not Bad

"Must you Go?" caught my attention earlier this year because of the poster and synopsis and I didn't enjoy it as much I wanted to but it wasn' t the worst drama either.

Story- The plot was kind of confusing to me and that's why I rated it a 7.5. I get the male lead's situation for the most part but I didn't really understand why he was the only one stuck in his situation. I know the "2nd female lead" said it was for punishment but it didn't resonate with me much. I also expected the female lead to get some type of epiphany about her past life but that didn't really happen. The 2nd lead characters were also pretty pointless, they served no purpose to the story other than one common trait between them. All in all, it was ok :/ it was a different concept but maybe a few more episodes would have done the story justice.

Acting/Cast- Contrary to some of the comments, I thought the acting was pretty good! The female leads acting fit the character, she did an amazing job! (I specifically saw people calling her a bad actress so I'm pointing her out lol). I think Chani's acting was a little awkward (sn: Why was he wearing the hanbok for so long??) but I think that had to do with the story/character writing. The chemistry between the 2 was nonexistent, especially on her part. It was like a blink of an eye and she was in love but once again I think that's a fault of the writing.

Music- It was cool, some people were very annoyed that one of the songs was played multiple times though so beware haha

Rewatch- I wouldn't rewatch this show because it's not a favorite and nothing really stood out about it

Overall, if you're looking for a short drama and maybe you like any of the actors/actresses you should try this drama out. In my opinion though, there are better similar dramas out there like Splash Splash Love (Historical and different eras, a bit of reincarnation too) or Legend of the Blue Sea (a bit historical and reincarnation drama too) (LotBS is 16 eps though).

Cute, Funny, and Easy Watch <3

If you're looking for a short and sweet drama to watch this one is definitely for you! The romance was cute and the story was funny!

Story- It was simple yet effective! We get to watch the FL gain more confidence in herself as she introduces the future to the Joseon people. There was also plenty of moments that will make you laugh and swoon for the main couple :)

Acting/Cast- Everyone did wonderful!

Music- It's great, the music fit the scenes well :)

Rewatch Value- I don't typically rewatch shows but if I did Splash Splash Love would be a high contender since it's short and cute <3

Overall, this drama is a must watch, especially since it's so short! Happy watching :)

Ok this drama was low-key messy and dragged but I enjoyed watching it?? It's a regular princess story but it's kind of charming and swoon worthy (especially on the ML's part haha)

Story- It was good but I think it could have been stronger if Lee Seol had officially took on her princess roles earlier. If she had, the romance could have been more center stage and not rushed at the end. Overall, I liked it but I wish there was more attention on the romance than some of the plots in the story as they were dragged on for longer than necessary. The ending of the last episode also has me confused.

Cast/Characters- I loved Park Hae Young!! He was charming and his confessions/interactions with Lee Seol were soo sweet. He was my favorite character for sure <3 Lee Seol was super frail and let everyone walk over her for the majority of the show. I wish she had better character development because she needed a backbone. I don't hate her but she's not my favorite either. Oh Joon and Lee Dan are some of the most pitiful characters I've watched; they were just so evil and bitter lol. Finally, the professor was great and he lightened the show up :)
The actors themselves were great!! I will say that Kim Tae Hee lost/blank/sad stares were all the same and became awkward after a while (Her facial expressions seemed limited).

Music- Nothing special or memorable to me. Some of the music that played during some scenes didn't fit either which was weird.

Rewatch Value- I don't really rewatch shows but if I did this one kept my interest so maybe I wouldn't mind watching it again. I would skip some scenes though haha

Overall, My Princess was entertaining and I think it's worth watching if you want an older drama! Definitely watch if you love Song Seung Heon too :)

Good Drama :)

Story (My key points):
- I am not a fan of the first half of this drama. I thought it was pretty slow and it was missing something to keep my attention during the first 8 or so episodes. There were parts I did like though, just not the majority.
- However, the second half did keep my attention for the most part. I loved a lot of the character's interactions! Their struggles with their morals and decisions were great to watch and everyone learned from each other throughout the show.
-The court cases were ok, I was a little disappointed with one of them as I wanted to see the end result but overall they helped to develop the characters :)
- I don't feel strongly about the romantic relationship. I actually shipped the leads with different people for a while because the relationship seemed one-sided. The noona romance ended up being cute but they could have ended up in a sibling/platonic relationship and I wouldn't be bothered. Something wasn't 100% clicking for me so I'm neutral when it comes to the romance.

Acting/Cast- I grew to like almost all the characters in this show (The villain is the main exception haha) The acting was good and funny when needed! Certain moments were kind of awkward but I think they fit the essence of the show. In conclusion, the cast/acting was good :)

Music- The music fit the show well! My favorite song is Why Did You Come Now by Jung Yup <3

Rewatch Value- I typically don't rewatch shows but if I did I probably wouldn't rewatch this one but it's a good drama! Maybe if someone else was watching it for the 1st time I would watch with them but I'm unlikely to on my own.

Even though the 1st half of the show wasn't my favorite, I liked the 2nd half (it was interesting and there was great character development). If you're a fan of any of the actors/actresses I think this drama is worth the watch! Happy watching :)

Good Classic Kdrama

I watched My Girl at the recommendation of my friend and I did enjoy it overall.

Story- The plot was good but unfortunately at maybe episode 10, it really started to go downhill with repetition and tons of missed opportunities for the leads to come clean and fix the issue. Yoo Rin spent too much time crying and attempting to stay away from Gong Chan for my liking (I know it was meant to enhance the drama but after the first few times it got a little annoying to watch 😭). I would have liked to see the leads be more affectionate though and be together for longer. There was also no need for 16 episodes, it was long enough for us to see second male lead become somewhat of a bad guy for a little and honestly was just unnecessary; the last maybe 3-4 episodes just showed a lot of repetitive back and forth between the leads. Despite what I didn't like though, I think the basis of the story is pretty interesting and it's also an older drama so even though I'm mentioning these things it didn't majorly take away from the shows. Shows change over time and this show probably fit into the type of shows being produced at that time/ well loved when it came out

Acting/Cast- The cast was good. I think some of it was a bit over the top and kind of awkward to watch but for the most part it was supposed to be like that so the cast was good 👍

Music- I liked the music, it was the same 2-3 songs playing but I think they fit the show and was nice to listen to :)

Rewatch- I probably wouldn't rewatch this show because the episodes are 60-70 mins each and the last few episodes weren't my cup of tea but the show was interesting and funny!
