Dramas / Movies Completed in 2025

COMPLETED  ♥  Jan 23

Enjoyed it a lot. I really loved the new set of characters and their relationships. The games were fun and Gihun's transition between S1 to S2 felt natural. I especially love Inho's inclusion which spiced up the story compared to S1. Overall, very fun season and can't wait for the finale.

Underrated. Slightly torture prawn, but the classism message was very intriguing. The violence was a bit gratuitous at times, yet reflected well on the viewer's penchant for "excitement" which I love. A little meta. I wish we could've seen more of their outside lives, but maybe that's the point. Everything about this was great, just not something I could recommend to everyone.

Surprisingly a gem. Loved the worldbuilding and how far they leaned into it. The escape plot was as interesting as the game show. A little cringey yes, but super lovable characters. The main couple had me squealing at times. Def a fun romcom/drama I would recommend checking out (if you can handle some cringe acting).

Super lovely drama! I adore the characters and relationships. The cases were somewhat boring to me. Main couple is what kept me staying, despite not even watching for the couple. There are definitely some things I would have changed and didn't want to happen. But overall, it was a pleasant watch.

It took me about 2 years, but I finally finished part 2 and I'm glad I did! It took a couple eps to get into. Once I did, I was hooked. I love how the story felt so unpredictable. The revenge was satisfyingly sweet. Didn't love the forced romance. I almost think it would've been stronger without it. Still, I'm happy for Dongeun. Overall, def worth a watch.

A heartwarming survival-rescue tale. Admittedly, the story is dragged out. I don't think it needed to be 6 hour-long episodes. The story was intense though and the acting was phenomenal. Their emotions felt REAL. All the worry, frustrations, hope fading away. I thought it was brilliant.

Accidentally watched before S1 lol. Was somewhat interesting, but the fights felt incredibly repetitive and the plot wholly exaggerated. I didn't particularly care for any characters nor the friendships. I just kept seeing punches every time I turned toward the screen. A little too unrealistic for my tastes. Was hoping to see Si Eun use his "wits" to fight, not just be good at fighting. Overall, fine watch, slightly disappointing.
