Dramas I Watched: 2025

Started in 2024.

Well, I can finally say I've watched all of the Reply/Answer Me dramas. I think 1988 might be my favorite because I connected to that drama and its characters emotionally in a way I didn't the others, but while I overall like all of these dramas, none of them ever managed to cross over into 'I love/adore this drama and must add it to my favorites list' territory. What I can say is that they are extremely good, and I deeply appreciate them for their storytelling and characters. They are very much worth watching, and I wish I had watched all three when they originally came out.

This drama is a riot, lol. There were a couple episodes I didn't enjoy as much, but overall this is a lot of fun.

Started in 2024. The script is very close to the original, almost identical, and part of me did think it would have been nice for this version to do things a little differently, but this is a very solid adaptation. One thing this version did better than the original? Gave the side romance between the male lead's friend and the male lead's sister more heart and romance, which made me very happy, lol.

Fourth rewatch. I can't help myself, lol. This drama is my happy place.

First rewatch. This is such a comforting drama.

Fourth rewatch.

I'm dropping this for now. It wasn't quite what I expected, which affected my viewing experience, and that isn't fair to the drama. I'll try watching it at a later date.

First rewatch.

On-hold until it's available in my region again on Viki, lol. Started in 2023.

I've seen the anime (love it), read part way through the manga (been loving it), watched the movie version (it was alright), and now I'm watching the drama. And whoever cast this version should get a raise, because every single actor/actress is nailing it. This is a pretty over-the-top story that could easily become way too campy in live action, but it really works here. My only caveat: now that I'm close to the end of this story for the first time, I realize Jellyfish is not going to end with a happy romance, and my heart is already breaking.
