What I completed in 2025.
I'm notorious for dropping dramas and movies, so I thought I would document and commemorate the ones I do manage to complete in 2025 here.
-
1. Flourished Peony
Chinese Drama - 2025, 32 episodes
Loved the actors, the characters, the cinematography, the slowburn romance, the friendships, the cultural richness of the Tang dynasty, and the overarching message of the drama.
-
2. The Glory
Chinese Drama - 2025, 30 episodes
The beginning started out so strong. I loved our morally gray FL and supported her quest for revenge. I wanted to see her gain everything that was owed to her. However, the intensity and allure fizzled out toward the end, and the conclusion was just... okay.

7. Resident Playbook
Korean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
This drama took me by surprise. It started off slow and unassuming, and then gradually became one of my comfort shows of 2025. I loved the characters, the depiction of their daily lives as doctors, and the overall vibes of this drama.
-
8. The Prisoner of Beauty
Chinese Drama - 2025, 36 episodes
An absolute masterpiece. This drama was not only my favorite drama of 2025, but it became my favorite drama of all time. It has set the standard on how to write a slowburn romance and a healthy and mature relationship with *great* communication. Ever since I watched this, my expectations have been set so high that no other drama can compare in terms of chemistry and storytelling. Loved everything about this.

9. Mercy for None
Korean Drama - 2025, 7 episodes
Cool fight scenes, mediocre revenge story.

Korean Drama - 2023, 20 episodes
Phenomenal storytelling and complex characters. The start was a little slow, but well worth my time.
-
11. Reset
Chinese Drama - 2022, 15 episodes
Interesting premise, likable characters, good acting - the drama could've been condensed into fewer episodes.
-

The perfect healing journey for those in need of recovering from stress, depression, or loss.
-
13. Squid Game Season 3

No.

14. Light Shop
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Unique concept. A bit confusing at first, but once the pieces fell into place, it became a thought-provoking collection of stories about humanity and death.
-
15. In the Name of Blossom
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
Although I loved the characters, cinematography, and overarching themes of this drama, it was a disappointing sequel to its predecessor.
-

Chinese Drama - 2025, 36 episodes
Loved the first half, but fell asleep more times than I would like to admit during the second half.
-
17. Lost You Forever
Chinese Drama - 2023, 39 episodes
A rewatch. Angsty, beautiful, addicting. Just as good as I remembered.
-
18. Coroner's Diary
Chinese Drama - 2025, 38 episodes
The cases were twisted, but the love was sweet. Loved the main couple and supporting characters. The pacing was a bit slow for some of the episodes, but it was an overall positive viewing experience.
-
19. Trigger
Korean Drama - 2025, 10 episodes
Decent performances from the veteran actors, but the drama lacked depth and substance. A disappointing watch.
-
20. Lost You Forever Season 2
Chinese Drama - 2024, 23 episodes
Beautiful, tragic, and gut-wrenching. It was a flawed season two, but a memorable story nonetheless, and it will stay with me forever.
-
21. KPop Demon Hunters
Movie - 2025
The storyline was just okay, but the characters were a lot of fun, the music was addicting, and I found myself thinking about this movie more times than I could count. Beautiful animation, I loved how vibrant everything was.

-
23. Legend of the Female General
Chinese Drama - 2025, 36 episodes
Not what I expected, definitely flawed, but I enjoyed it oh so much. Great main characters, amazing chemistry, mostly positive experience of the drama. Will be rewatching my favorite scenes again and again for sure.

24. Love Untangled
Korean Movie - 2025
A cute romantic comedy and youth movie about high school romance, friendships, and self love. I adored the characters and appreciated the uplifting message so much.
