2013 Releases

I really liked it. The ending though... it makes sense but damn. I feel played. Deffo recommend it though :). Go watch it if you like action and dramas playing during the Sino-Japanese War. It is different to other dramas playing during that period.

A good undercover drama. Really enjoyed it; however, the ending was a circus. Not what I expected. While the drama was serious before, I laughed through the end and then cried. Literally a circus. Go watch it but maybe ignore the end. It is still good though. That's why I gave it 8.5/10 stars.

Watched: pre-March 2022.

Netflix. Careful: Long drama.

Netflix. Fantasy filler drama.

Viki. Filler drama.

Viki. Strong female lead? Historical? Political role for a female lead in a historical drama? Revenge? Yes!

I rate this a 7.5/10 due to small issues throughout this drama. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this drama and how it was produced (even the second half that many criticised). I actually do not understand all the criticism on the drama's page. Therefore, I recommend this drama if you like medical dramas with some hospital politics. The actors were great as well! I like the main and secondary couple and how different issues were approached. Despite a medium rating, you should deffo watch it if you like the genre. Ignore the negative comments and form your own opinion! I truly like this drama!

Watched it a long time ago (writing this in Feb 2024; watched it in 2013). I remember that I found it a bit weird, it was one of the first kdramas, I think the 2nd, that I have ever watched. So different from the American crime shows. Anyways, I can still recommend it. Maybe I will rewatch it at some point. If you like fantasy, this is a classic, that should deffo be watched.

Suuuuper toxic! Red flag ML and naive, weak FL, infuriating SML. Still, I love it. I usually hate purely toxic dramas, but this is my first Kdrama ever. I love it and watched it several times. You should watch it if you like a toxic ML and very melodramatic dramas.

I quite liked the first season but I found this one kind of lacking. There was so much potential but I was quite bored during the first half. I even debated whether I should drop this season. Well, I sticked with it and it became better but still nowhere near the first season. The last two eps were the best part of this season and almost made me rate the drama higher but then it fell flat. They also hinted at a third season, which to this day has not been produced. There were some plotholes and inconsistencies, which eventually led to the rating of 7/10. The end is not quite satisfying either but rating the drama any lower would have been a bit insulting. Still recommendable to watch if you have watched the first season.

Watched: March 2025.

A classic. It has been a while since I have watched it. Rich ML, poor FL and the typical rich SFL. In my opinion, it is not the best out there but still decent.

Viki. Filler drama.

Available online. Seems like my cup of tea :).
