1. Come and Hug Me
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
Oh, I hated this drama. I barely remember anything, just that I really really disliked this one. During that time I refused to drop dramas I did not like, well, if I had watched it now, I probably would have dropped it. Deffo not a fan. I like the actors though.

2. Goodbye to Goodbye
Korean Drama - 2018, 40 episodes
Okay, I finished this. On one hand, this drama was better than I thought it would be. On the other, there are some scenes that disappointed me and caused a lower rating than it could have achieved. "Goodbye to Goodbye" is not a romance drama per se, it is a family drama with a focus on the female role in society and family, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The characters all improve their characters and gain an understanding of what it means to be part of a family and how women are oftentimes stigmatised and forced into specific roles. That being said, I believe men are also often forced into specific roles that can actually harm the person. In the beginning, I was ready to fight almost every character but I tried to acknowledge the fact that people think and act differently. Not all actions are excusable; however, just like real life, they exist and you can't just remove family. The characters started growing and understanding each other and themselves. That development, no matter how infuriating and/or disappointing, was something I really appreciated about the drama. I do have my opinions and in an instance in ep 34/35, I voiced them in the comment section. Which brings me to one of the more disappointing bits. I understand that the issues included in the drama are those that can cause great fear, or even terror; however, I was hoping to see some more maturity and growth. Instead, the characters and plot became eerily similar to the beginning. The ending was quite nice, nonetheless, though, I wish they would have added 1 or 2 more eps to properly ease the drama out. Finally, my favourite character was Jong Won as he seemed to be the healthiest of them all. He voiced what we were all thinking. I rate the drama a 7/10.

3. Lawless Lawyer
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
I loved this drama! Action and law (and a lawless lawyer), the perfect match! The actors did a fantastic job! Pure magic while I was watching this drama. The soundtrack is also amazing! This drama introduced me to some brilliant actors. That was my first drama with Lee Joon Gi and Seo Yae Ji. The story is amazing well. I love some good law, action, conspiracy, and revenge drama. So I deffo recommend this masterpiece. 9.5/10!!

4. Rich Man
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
Not really a memorable drama. I'd say this is a drama to watch when you have nothing else on your watchlist. Or as a filler drama.
