-
5. To Be Honest
Korean Drama - 2023, 3 episodes

-- This was not that bad I didn't get why the ratings were so low. Anyways, I think this short show was a nice friendship vs first love story. Liked it.
-
6. Daily Dose of Sunshine
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
February -- March
-- This drama's genre is pretty familiar to me but, I am still loving it. All the leads and also support characters are the best. Loved the story and also how they delivered it. A must-watch.
-
7. Man Suang
Thai Movie - 2023
March
-- The acting was great, but the story was messed up. It was so hard to track the storyline and who was who. Otherwise, my eyes had been blessed with Apo and been so happy. lol.
-
8. Love Connection
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
March
-- Bland. I don't even know why I didn't drop this.
-

Korean TV Show - 2021, 4 episodes

-
10. Love to Hate You
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
March
-- I binged this almost in one sit and it was worth it for sure. I liked the characters and how their relationships developed.
-
11. Hokuto
Japanese Drama - 2017, 5 episodes
January -- April
-- This one is dark and bold as hell but loving it whatever.
-- The darkness and the despair of Hokuto give me chills. I wish no person in the world had to have psychological damage.
-- I totally agree with this comment: "Absolutely unsparing in its examination of child abuse and its effects, this drama is not for the faint of heart. It is uncomfortable and will leave you shaken. It will also provoke you to consider different perspectives of what you may have considered a slam dunk issue. Heart-wrenching in its simple narration, I was moved to tears in the end.
Nakayama Yuma was outstanding. The writing was outstanding."
-- A must-watch drama!! -
12. Young Actors' Retreat
Korean TV Show - 2022, 8 episodes
March -- April
-- I wish this would never end. I wish there were many more seasons. I loved it a lot!!

-
15. Once Upon a Small Town
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

-
16. Artist-Made Collection Show by BTS
Korean TV Show - 2022, 14 episodes
April

-
17. Mad for Each Other
Korean Drama - 2021, 13 episodes
April
-- I liked both leads and their characters also how the story developed. Mental health-related issues and characters are not easy to put together for a drama script, also a bit risky, but this one was definitely worth watching.
-
18. Kiss Scene in Yeonnamdong
Korean Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
September 23 -- May 24
-- I actually like this one. Thinking of it, web dramas seem to have short screen time but in total, they're not that short. Being in a slump of web dramas plays with my mind so I keep watching them. lol.
-- I liked it in total. The acting and the story were good even though it was predictable. Worth watching.
-
19. The Devil Wears Jung Nam Season 2
Korean TV Show - 2021, 12 episodes

-
20. If You Wish Upon Me
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
March -- May
-- Aah ma baby JCW, why do you keep choosing the wrong shows? I mean this one is not that bad but not on your level either.
-- So, I was not totally into it but I still liked the story especially the chemistry between JCW and CSY. It was a good and memorable drama in total. -
21. The Spirealm
Chinese Drama - 2024, 78 episodes
April -- May (dropped, 3/78)
-- I don't think I would watch the whole thing because of its horror theme, but I will give it a try.

22. Our Beloved Summer
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
April -- May
-- The first episode was great, I loved everything about it. The second was not the best as the first episode but I also liked it a lot. I can't wait to watch the rest. This one will be one of my favorites of this year no doubt.
-- My heart is all in pieces. This drama breaks my heart then puts it together right after to break it again. It is a masterpiece, I don't want it to end.

Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
May -- June (dropped, 2/12)
-- The first episode was kind of disappointing, hope it turns out better.

-
27. Only Friends
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
May -- June
-- I was expecting The Warp Effect-like script and acting from this one but was disappointed. Too much drama with a weak storyline...
-
28. Pegasus Market
Korean Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
June (Dropped, 2/12)
-- I like it, I guess. Let's see if I manage to finish it.
-- It did not work for me sadly. This type of comedy aka black comedy is not to my liking.
-
29. Troll Factory
Korean Movie - 2024
June
-- This movie shows the dark side of our "tecno" generation. I definitely loved it!
-
30. Somebody
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
June
-- Too dark, too intense. This one feels like not a Korean drama but a European Netflix series.
-- I still liked this drama even though people did not. It was crazy but unique. Congrats to the actors for their passion and belief in putting this drama on screen because it definitely requires braveness.
-
31. Memorist
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
June (dropped, 2/16)
--I don't know if I am again in a dropping phase but this one's story is not my liking. They tried too hard to complicate the story, but rather than that it felt simple and also cliche.
-
32. Work Later, Drink Now Season 2
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
July
-- I am on the third episode but not enjoying it as much as the first season. Considering how my feelings changed in the first season's second half, I will watch the rest and judge later. lol.
-- Final decision: There were many gaps in the story, but I still liked it. What I liked the most was the friendship dynamics. I am happy to watch this season too.
-
33. Doctor Slump
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
July -- September
-- July: This drama is like an ordinary cliche Kdrama but with a slightly different plot. Since I am a med staff too, I liked the plot also the psychological aspect of how hard our job is.
-- August: I am close to the final episode and forcing myself to reach it. That cliche and predictable plot makes it harder. It didn't get any better in the second half and the only reason I want to finish it is PSH and PHS.
-
34. KAIst
Korean TV Show - 2021, 7 episodes
July -- September
-- Not the best. But since I have been into Kai lately, I will watch it.
-
35. Infinity
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

-
36. Bad-Memory Eraser
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
August -- September (dropped, 2/16)
-- The first episode was mediocre but still funny. I enjoyed it. It is a promising romcom even with its predictable storyline. Considering my love for Jjoong, I will push myself to finish it (hopefully). lol.
-- I listened to people on this platform and didn't watch the rest. The first two episodes were good enough, I don't want to hate seeing Jaejoong with a bad drama again anymore.
-
37. We're Not Trash
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
September
-- Even with this short story, the message is given completely. I liked this mini-drama a lot.
-
38. Wonderland
Korean Movie - 2024
November
-- I rated this movie as 7.5 only because of the actors. The idea was great but the execution was pretty weak, sadly.
-
39. My Strawberry Film
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
November

-
40. Love in the Big City
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
November
-- Why am I loving this too much? It is not good for my heart.
-- This is a masterpiece! It's a real slice-of-life drama with too realistic characters. It hurt a lot. My heart is in pieces.
-
41. Nevertheless,
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
April -- December
-- It's a drama that is not going to be easily watched for sure. I have deep and controversial feelings about this drama. I wonder what I will think about it if I finish it. Let's see!
-- I know it took pretty long to finish it, but I really enjoyed it.
-- I would have hated the characters if I had watched this drama in my 20s. But let's be honest, both male and female leads are real-life characters. There are many people like them around. Their relationship is not healthy, but unfortunately, it reflects real life. So, in my opinion, this drama is for adults past or in their 30s. You get to see and accept some things after your twenties... -
42. Love Next Door
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
October -- December
-- There is nothing "wow" about this drama, but I still like it. I only want to mention that I can't help but keep thinking how it would be if the ML were JCW rather than JHI. I believe JCW is more suitable for a character like Seunghyo in many ways. My queen, JSM, is shining as always.
-- I think this drama should have ended in episode 12 or 13. It was too long for the script. And each episode was one and a half hours long; like, why?? I wish it were a short drama, around 8-10 episodes. Honestly, I didn't watch the last three episodes, and I don't think I missed something. Sorry, not sorry.

43. Drama Special Season 15: The History of Us
Korean Special - 2024, 1 episode

44. Vigilante
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
December
-- I swallowed this in two days. OMG, it has been a long time since I have watched a drama like this. It stressed me as hell, but I loved it a lot.
