7. Suits
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

-
40. Burning
Korean Movie - 2018
May
-- Dropped
-- I tried to watch it for more than one hour but couldn't stand it anymore. I loved my Yoo Ah In and the story looked interesting but it was too draggy and I consumed all my patience only in one hour. It's a more than 2 hours movie, so, I'm sorry, dropped it inevitably.
-
41. Taste of Cat
Korean Drama - 2018, 4 episodes

-
48. Sweet & Sour
Korean Movie - 2021
June
-- Dropped!
-- I mean, I love all the actors but didn't like the story even in a bit. It was weird and disturbing. I don't want to accept an occasion like this as normal between lovers. Relationships could have a sour taste and also could come to the end in an ugly way, yes, but moral values always have to be there in that relationship even in its ending. So, I won't accept this story. No.
-
49. Dear My Name
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
June
-- I discovered while I was watching this that the main actress has passed away this year. Feeling sad. RIP dear Song Yoo, you didn't deserve to leave the world this early.

-
50. Crushes Reverse

-
51. Flat
Korean Drama - 2017, 8 episodes

Korean Drama - 2019, 3 episodes
June
-- A cute love story with growing-up struggles.
-
55. My Woofy Poofy Love
Korean Drama - 2018, 8 episodes
June
-- Flashbacks have been pretty annoying. The story had no meaning behind it. It was an empty but fun watch.
-
56. Mute
Korean Drama - 2020, 4 episodes
June
-- It actually deserves a 7/10. But if I give it 7, that great OST would be wasted. A fluffy and watchable story.
-
57. Real
Korean Movie - 2017
July
-- Dropped
-- Don't get me wrong, I like different-vibed movies. But this one felt like it was too forced by the creators to make the movie different and bold. It gives a bad aftertaste like 'Amphetamine' movie. So, this one didn't work for me.
-
58. Lovestruck in the City
Korean Drama - 2020, 17 episodes
July
-- This is too much better than I expected. I might be biased on this because JCW is in it but, still, it definitely is good and unique.
-- Loooved this one. Chincha chuahe. Loved every character in it. But in real life, JCW is still my favorite (can't help but love him badly, as usual. lol) ^^
-
59. The Happy Loner
Korean Special - 2017, 2 episodes
August
-- I had such a good time with my sister by watching this minidrama. And it was a movie-taste drama. We both liked it.

62. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
October 2020--July 2021
-- I don't want this to come to the end. that's why I keep postponing watching it. lol
-- will be one of my favorites, always and forever.
-- btw, my eyes have been looking like huge balloons thanks to episode 13. I cried all that episode long. my heart is still aching.

-
63. When You Love Yourself
Korean Drama - 2018, 6 episodes
August

-
64. Pinocchio
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
May--August
-- This drama gives me is what I was missing for a long time. Old but gold.
-- It gets better by passing episodes. Having strong "Healer" vibes and loving it!-- This was hard to keep watching because there was intense drama in it. But at the end of the day, I definitely loved it.
-- It feels like it took forever to finish this. Don't get me wrong, I never got bored while watching this, the only reason was that much pain in it.
-
65. The Naked Director Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
July
-- Dropped (watched 5 episodes of 10)
-- Don't want to watch it 'cause there was no curiosity left to keep watching it.
-- Not good as season 1. There also are many problematic scenes/issues to discuss that are not nicely handled in this season.
-
66. The Box
Korean Movie - 2021
September
-- This was very slow-paced. The story was weak, boring too. Nothing interesting. I might not like the musical drama concept but, still, it didn't give me that vibe. I am sorry Chanyeol.
-
67. White Night
Korean Movie - 2012
September
-- I can't put my mind together after this. I felt the pain in my blood. I hated it, that's why I loved it the most.
-- Won Tae Hee and Lee Yi Kyung... They make us feel their heart and soul like it was that much easy, was unbelievable. OSTs were so much on point. I loved everything about this. My heart will be aching every time I remind this movie, this story... -
68. Like in the Movies
Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
September
-- The best Pinoy drama ever. I can't compare how good this is with anything, even with ITSAY!! Wow!! I am very impressed.
-- The emotion they give, all the good messages, mood boosters, life lessons... Even at my age, it's still hard and heavy. This one will always be one of my favorite dramas, not only in BL ones, but in all dramas I have watched.-- Let's talk about OSTs too. Wow, just WOW! Each of them was great, on point, and I loved them all.
-- And, it's definitely gonna take time for me to have an easy breath after watching this. My heart is still aching hard.
-

-
71. I Told Sunset about You
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
September
-- I watched it again, almost a year later, and realized everything was fresh in my mind like I have just watched it yesterday. My heart is aching, a lot. Since I was up till morning, my eyes are aching too, not like only because sleeplessness, crying also made my eyes two huge balloons.
-- So, now, I am ready for IPYTM. I probably will be a huge mess after these two!! (dunno why I am doing this to myself. neverthless, )
-
72. Shopaholic Louis
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
August -- September
-- Thoughts after two episodes: I will keep watching this because the two leads are both doing a good job. Other than that, nothing impressed me much.
-- This got better by passing episodes, which makes me happy because I really wanted to watch this for a long time.
-- Thoughts after the 11th episode: WTH with that same but different plot twist? Ugh, it was going well, why did you do that? I am pissed.
-- Okay, that was not an actual plot twist. lol. But I didn't like the rest of the story. I felt all too forced.
-
73. SHINee Inc.
Korean TV Show - 2021, 1 episode
October
-- Dropped.
-- I love each of my boyz, the reason for dropping is its production team.
-
74. BTS in the Soop
Korean TV Show - 2020, 8 episodes
October
-- Why watching these boys makes me feel relieved and my heart happy, dunno. I am very pleased to have this feeling again. I didn't realize how much I've missed them!
-- This helps to heal my soul. Seeing them healing their soul too, is just amazing. Even though they used to live together, love each other, and they're like brothers for life, I feel their struggle to keep things in order, in the meaning of their relationship not only daily life.
-
75. When You Love Yourself Season 2
Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes

-
77. The Great Doctor
Korean Drama - 2012, 24 episodes
August -- October
-- First ep: Looks promising. Please, surprise me in a good way. Chebal.
-- Second episode: I think I cannot tolerate watching old dramas if it was not one of the best ever. This one too. That "yes, I am old, my story is cliche, and the acting is not impressive neither the cinematography" message doesn't help at all. lol.
-- Dropped (one and a half eps watched).
-
78. SF8: Blink
Korean Special - 2020, 1 episode
November
-- Not impressed. Moreover I felt bored for minutes. Disappointed.
-
79. Re-Feel

October
-- Playlist is always the best. I liked this one too, a lot!
-
80. Society Obsessed with Love
Korean Drama - 2018, 5 episodes
October
-- It felt like this drama only made for giving that message as seen in its title. lol. Good for a quick and light watch.
-
81. SF8: Joan's Galaxy
Korean Special - 2020, 1 episode
October
-- This was one of the most strong web movies ever. It made me feel like I was living in their galaxy with them. The feeling was mesmerizing and unique.
-
82. Somehow 18
Korean Drama - 2017, 10 episodes
October
-- I am tired of crying. This was such an emotional rollercoaster. I loved every second of it.
-- When Na Bi attempted to take her life and Minho told her not to do it, I couldn't help but think about Jonghyun. Moreover, this drama aired in August 2017, just before he passed away in December. I wish Minho had a chance to say "하지마!" to Jonghyun before he took his own life too. My heart is broken. T-T -
83. Two Lights: Relumino
Korean Special - 2017, 1 episode
October
-- This was a short good movie and was definitely worth watching!
-- P.S: PHS, seeing your face only for 30 min made me realize how much I missed you. Hoping to see you soon.
-
84. All-Boys High
Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
October
-- Kyowa! Kyobda! This was way too cute. lol. I loved it!!
-
85. Noise
Korean Drama - 2019, 7 episodes
October
-- Someone, please tell me this was not made by Koreans? I am shocked how low quality this drama was also amateur. Yeoreobun, please do not watch this, it's not worth watching.
-
86. Precise Shot
Chinese Drama - 2020, 20 episodes
October
-- Despite all the plot holes, I loved this! Both leads were adorable. Ahhh why this had to be this short!! I am pissed at the Chinese film industry, again. ^⌒^
-
87. Bad Genius
Thai Movie - 2017
November
-- I am happy to see the Thai industry also is doing such good jobs as this movie.
-- This one was definitely worth watching. Was intense, logical and the acting was one of the tops in all Thai ones I've watched so far.
-
88. S.C.I
Chinese Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
October
-- So, it looks better in quality from all in the C-dramas I've watched so far. The acting is exaggerated, as usually seen in C-dramas. I'll give it a try, I like the concept and also the chemistry between the leads.
(edit after dropping: hahahaha, after the 2nd episode, I don't think there was any difference if it was not worse than others. (lol to me. Poor me, for hoping to have a good one.)-- Not my cup of tea 'cause I don't want to see bloody ketchup all over the ground and many strangers with dubbed voices and the poorest acting skills!!!
-- Dropped (2 eps watched)
-
89. Freshman
Korean Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
October
-- I watched this only for Hwang In Yeop tbh. I would have dropped it at the very first episodes if he was not in. Didn't like it, also didn't hate it.
-
90. I Promised You the Moon
Thai Drama - 2021, 5 episodes
September--October
-- Thoughts after the first episode: It is easily felt that the screenwriter is different from ITSAY. Of course, the chemistry and the originality of the story, etc. are still the best, but, there is a "but", unfortunately.
-- Update after the second ep: Okay, I was not that much right by saying there was a "but" there. There was, but not that huge. Only minute cliche parts and mistakes. That's all.
-- I am in love, again. My heart is aching too much. These series, both ITSAY and IPYTM, are a slice of my life. I am in love (and also hate because it hurts a lot) with everything about both. I am in pain. It's too hard to handle, still, and will be forever like that I guess....
-
91. 300 Year-Old Class of 2020
Korean Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
October
-- The plot felt like it was written by a teenager. haha. I was writing similar stories when I was a teenager. lol.
-- I didn't like both FL and ML, didn't drop it only because for two cute boys--side characters. Ahh, I loved the way Lee Se Jin says "noona"!! He is such a cutie pie! So, it was not a worth-watch for me.
-
92. Alice in Borderland
Japanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
May--November
-- Whoa! This is gonna blow my mind if I binge-watch it. I loooveee this!
-- It will take forever to finish it because of its intensity. I am only able to watch a half episode one at a time. ugh!
-- Update, Nov 25: I binge-watched the rest. It's sad how there have been many plot holes. It was great at the beginning, slowly got bad through the end. Still loved it. Definitely worth watching!
-
93. Dokgo Rewind
Korean Drama - 2018, 20 episodes
November
--Dropped (watched half of all).
-- I am disappointed. I watched half of it but got no patience to finish it. They literally wasted the cast. There have been many story gaps, also nonsense violence, and other silly things making it unwatchable. I had to drop it because it made me feel sick of anger and bored me like hell. And, Sehun, why you were like an iced stuffed bear and had no emotion at all? You're handsome and attractive but got not much as an actor. I am sorry. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that how all the actors were too old to be high school students. lol. All were looking like at their 30s (which is already it is. lol) I rated it with its cast especially Ahn Bo Hyun and Cho Byeong Kyu.
-
94. Exactly What’s Going On?
Korean Drama - 2015, 10 episodes
November
-- Dropped (1 of 3 episodes watched)
-- This was somehow felt not good than those plot-weak Web dramas that's why I couldn't finish it. High expectations might be the real reason, dunno. Both Jaehyo and Eun Hyung were too cute to handle tho (but still couldn't help me not to drop it).
-
95. Romance, Talking
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
November
-- Watchable. Nothing impressive.
-
96. The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window
Japanese Movie - 2021
November
-- There were many plot holes in the story. I was going to drop it in the half but managed to finish it. I don't think I would recommend watching it because it felt empty at the end. Not enjoyed much.
-
97. To Each His Own
Japanese Movie - 2017
November
-- I wrote a full review for this one. Here: https://kisskh.at/profile/processus/reviews/175271
-- Such a masterpiece. I loved every second of it.
-
98. Wedding
Korean Movie - 2017
November

-
99. Dear Ex
Taiwanese Movie - 2018
November
-- My expectations were higher. But still a good movie, for sure. Actors did a great job, especially Roy and Joseph.
-
100. Work Later, Drink Now
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
November
-- I almost binged this. I am happy I decided to watch this. It made my heart feel less havier and happier. I loved the sismance and friendship. Except that much drinking. I know drinking was the concept of this drama but it still felt not good seeing people drink too much. Alcohol is a killer, there should have been a strong message about it. If the script and also the first 2-3 episodes were better (they have been exaggerated and weirdly different from the rest), it would be at least a 9.5 for me.
