![Idol I]()
1. Idol I
Korean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
This was a solid drama! It had me interested the entire way through (12 episodes were definitely the right amount) and I wasn't sure who the killer was until almost the very end. Everything was really well done and I'm happy that kdramas seem to be picking up again.

![Can This Love Be Translated?]()
2. Can This Love Be Translated?
Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
This isn't a bad drama, but it's not for me. I think that's because I never connected with the leads (this might be due to the actors, who are good, but not people I tend to vibe with) and the writing started to bother me halfway through. The (willful) miscommunication was starting to grate, which I do understand was kind of the point. I just didn't like it.
