22. Extraordinary You

I personally do think that this show fell off half way. The plot is very unique but ended up being very stereotypical hence why I never finished it. But I think alot of people will enjoy this drama and it does divert from a few kdrama tropes.
Also I deffo reccomend you reading the manhwa instead.

39. Love Alarm

Honestly this show was a little messy don’t even get me started on season 2. But the actual love alarm app is like a black mirror version of tinder so I think it does deserveto be here low-key.
