2. Secret Crush on You - I feel like Toh is immature and crushing really hard on Neua, who he perceives as an unreachable goal. But I don't like the stalker label which has very negative connotations. Toh would never hurt Neua and it's we'll known that he takes photos of him, since one of them is poster size for the athletic department. Toh is a bit (maybe more than a bit) of a hoarder with anything related to his crush, but I remember doing this in high school: saving newspaper clippings when he made it to the state championships (my crush played soccer, not basketball), taking photos at his games and at the school play, trying to figure out his schedule, etc. Toh is definitely cringey in his over-the-top crush, but a lovable cringey. And I think Neua recognizes this and tries to tell Toh he wants to be treated normally.

3. Itaewon Class - Soo Ah, I wish I remembered enough of the plot to explain how misunderstood she is. All I know is that I'll defend her till the end of time. While she was not always in the right, she's the only character who stayed true to herself from start to finish and GOT THE JOB DONE. People who call her selfish, honestly misunderstand her character.

4. Gen Z - Xu Meng I, along with 99% of the audience live watching when episodes were dropping, absolutely hated and despised Xu Meng at first. She came off as clingy and having hallmark traits of a GTB (green tea b****). Yes, we know she had a traumatic experience and miscarriage but all we saw at first was how she used that experience to associate with a mental illness and stick herself to the ML (it didn’t help that this plot line dragged way too long). Unfortunately, after her suicide do we find out the truth about how she turned out this way - being the victim of PUA which led her to trust the wrong guy and end up in that situation. Although she “liked” the ML, he clearly did not feel the same and only regarded her as a patient (and to a degree, a sister). I am in no way condoning her actions, but after watching that it did make me think back to sometimes, we are a little too quick to judge supposed ”villains” (especially female ones).

5. Love in Time- most of the people only remember ML is cute, handsome, rich & super kind to our FL. But mostly all of us forgot how he manipulate everything to make the FL fall into his hand. It's like the thing that if we like became cute, but if we don't like become creepy happen. Because all the (+) character our ML have he became cute in our eyes, but if we get rid every (+) thing and only remember the ML is the one manipulate everything to make the FL fall into his hand then it became creepy....

5. Love 020 the ML might seem perfect but he is so possessive of the FL. Possessive to the point of telling her she only needs him. He is Mr Perfect that his friends think he is is godlike or something like that, no one is that perfect. The FL on the other hand seems to have lost her intelligence and ML just thinks it's cute.

6.Extraordinary You- (SML=Baek Kyung) not to be the bad boy apologist but his character quite literally had no agency . Once he gained self-awareness as a character in this book world he was still limited to what the author wrote often . He really did not have that much room to change or grow enough to show people different outside the script but we saw enough to know he wanted to at least be different.

7. King The Land -ml is such a stalker, does he even work, isn't he running a multi billion dollar business? He even gets upset with the Arab prince and follows them everywhere. If i were a board member, he'd be removed from his position. He also gives preferential treatment to fl friends. He wants to be near fl all the time. He even brings work to her place of work. When fl finally starts her dream of running her own BandB, he goes and sees her everyday and even wants to work for her.

Since we’re nearing the end of the 24hr (and I also noticed a little bit of a double count above for #5), I’ll finish off this list:

9. A Familiar Stranger - Prince Ning he was seen as a ruthless tyrant but all he wanted was to have the one he loves (who was his original girl’s face) love him back, when she now has the personality of the FL. I didn’t think he should have died like that at the end.

10. Love is Sweet - Du Lei similarly, although he is technically the antagonist (and I definitely don’t see him as the one who would breakup OTP) but he didn’t deserve to be treated the way he did. FL somewhat led him on a bit (although she was too dense to realize it until it was too late). I wish he didn’t go down the road he did (and it was strange that his adopted sister fell for him..that was somewhat of an unnecessary plot line) and I wish he had a happier ending other than that bowl of noodles.

next person can pick the topic!

10 dramas/movies where the leads have a significant height difference. The top of the head of the shorter one should not reach above the shoulder of the taller one.
