Start Date: March 28 Completed: March 29
This series was exceptional and certainly lives up to the hype surrounding MDL. From the opening episode, it drew me in, keeping my heart racing and my attention fixed on the screen. The fight sequences were thrilling and intense, while the dynamics between the three main characters were expertly developed.
Yeon Si Eun is a multifaceted character, balancing intellect with a blend of recklessness and caution. He showcases impressive combat skills and strategic acumen, revealing a ruthless side at times, yet he also embodies compassion, serving as the group's emotional core. An Su Ho embodies raw power, but his impulsive tendencies often complicate matters as the plot progresses.
My favorite character is O Beom Seok, who stands out as the most complex and flawed of the trio. His character journey was difficult to witness but ultimately rewarding due to its richness. Haunted by a tough upbringing, his deep insecurities, fueled by fear and isolation, led him to make a significant mistake he couldn't face, resulting in a series of irreversible errors. I wished for him to break down and share his pain with those who truly cared, but he struggled to confront his issues and seek help. I found him to be a character I could genuinely relate to. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and eagerly await season two. -

This delightful ensemble of quirky characters has completely captured my heart. They have a unique charm that pulls at my emotions in the most delightful way. Just when I’m hit with a wave of melancholy, something utterly side-splitting occurs, causing me to burst into laughter! This drama can be wonderfully unpredictable at times! These little snippets are what truly help me connect with each character. While they might seem like a group of hopeless misfits, their genuine selves gradually come to light, revealing their unique personalities. Each character is special in their own way, and together, they create one big, joyful family that I can’t help but cherish! Honestly, I treasure this drama immensely!

9. Doku Koi: Doku mo Sugireba Koi to Naru
Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Start Date: February 14, Completed: February 14
Shiba has quickly climbed to the top of my favorite male leads in BL! At first, he may seem a bit headstrong, awkward, and somewhat distant, but believe me, underneath that tough exterior is a heart as soft as a marshmallow. His unique quirks are simply too charming to ignore! He’s a devoted lover hiding behind a polished appearance. While he might start off a little shy, once he opens up to the one he cares for, he pours out a stream of heartfelt confessions that are both electrifying and unforgettable. He has his imperfections, but his brilliance shines through, driven by a steadfast determination to chase his dreams and safeguard his love. The way he combines strength with tenderness creates a fascinating contrast that makes him completely irresistible! -

The editing in this show was exceptional. I was particularly moved by the final scene where all the contestants expressed what being a chef truly meant to them. This season was filled with an incredible amount of passion. It was clear that each contestant held deep respect for the food they created. It was a joy to watch, and I eagerly anticipate the next season. Edward Lee was my favorite chef.

I entered this story with little to no expectations, but I was genuinely moved by the profound and heartfelt friendship that blossomed between a young boy and an older man. Their connection was depicted with such beauty that it struck a chord within me. The time they shared together had me laughing uncontrollably , perfectly illustrating the intricacies of human connection. The climax was especially impactful; that nearly shattered me for moment. Yet, I was ultimately rewarded with a touching resolution that tied their journey together in a deeply satisfying manner.

26. Once Again
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Start Date: February 22 Completed: February 23
This drama isn't necessarily bad, but it has numerous plot holes. The choices made by Ji Hoon and Jae Woo to prevent certain events I found lacked common sense , it was quite frustrating, as it rendered their efforts pointless. The issues could have been easily resolved if they had collaborated and devised a sensible plan, as all the necessary elements were available. In the second half, I struggled to engage with the romantic plot. Ji Hoon developing feelings for the older version of Jae Woo feels off, considering Jae Woo is still a child in his timeline. The romance aspect seems poorly thought out. The final scene was confusing; I did cry, but it was more about the emotional weight of human suffering than the plot itself. I feel like I missed important details regarding Ji Hoon’s fate. Is he lost forever, or trapped in a time loop, experiencing the same tragic events? The writers failed to clarify what was truly happening in the end. -

28. Weak Hero Class 2
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
Start Date: April 25 Complete: April 25
This season was okay, but it didn't meet my expectations. The story felt scattered and rushed, making it hard to stay interested. Si Eun seemed to have lost the charm and personality he had in the first season. What happened to his sharp thinking and fighting skills. His once powerful presence has all but vanished. He feels like a secondary character. The story has shifted focus to Baku and Na Baek Jin. And somehow it was never really explained properly why there was so much animosity between them. They were once friends, but they had a falling out, ok ? Why should I the viewer care? Throughout the series, the villain's motives and choices often confused me. The pacing of the plot was inconsistent, rushing through important scenes without enough context while dragging on parts that didn't need it.
The friend group didn't have the appeal I expected. I struggled to see how these four could form such a strong bond so quickly and show loyalty to people they barely knew. Seo Jun Tae is the most interesting character for me ; he is what O Beom Seok should have been for Si Eun. Speaking of O Beom Seok, despite his flaws, he was my favorite character, and I was glad to see him briefly with Su Ho. I was also let down by the lack of other schools, which were supposed to be important but were completely left out of the big finale. And that last scene—what happened to Na Baek Jin? I think the series would have ended better if it had concluded after the first season, especially if the post-credits scene had been cut. This would have given a more meaningful farewell for the characters and allowed the audience to reflect on their journey.

34. Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger
Japanese Drama - 2024, 48 episodes
Start Date: Sep 1, 2024 Completed: April 9th , 2025
This was my first encounter with the sentai franchise, and I have to say, I found it somewhat challenging to stay interested. I'm not sure if this is common in sentai series, but the team formed so quickly that I had difficulty connecting with the characters. The character development seemed lacking. Sakito felt somewhat detached from the others often fighting alone. Among the Rangers, I especially liked Bun Black and Bun Orange. When I think of the perfect guardian of innocence, Jyo immediately comes to mind; his first transformation was truly remarkable. Ryu Saito really invested himself in that moment, and it gave me chills. I also found Genba's storyline as a lone ranger enjoyable; he seemed to need a big hug or perhaps an even larger lollipop. Satoru Soma's smile is incredibly charming.
While I liked the racing theme, I was let down by the absence of actual racing scenes. Many episodes felt like filler and strayed from the main storyline, which was frustrating due to the inconsistent pacing. The tone changed abruptly in several episodes, causing some confusion. I also noticed that some plots were reused, with Toilet Grumer even getting a second episode that could have been better spent on advancing the story or deepening our understanding of the rangers.
Interestingly, my favorite characters were not the main team but the Sanseater trio—Itasha, Yaiyai, and Decotrade. Their delightful humor and antics brought a wonderful element to the series. Even Madrex had a memorable exit. One of the highlights for me was the return of a legendary character, which sparked my interest in watching Ressha Sentai ToQger. I loved how the Boonboom Changers were used during the transformation sequences. However, I can't help but wonder why the writers didn’t explore Bun Red 119 more; that design was absolutely stunning! Overall, this could've been a worse series, but definitely not great -

37. xxxHOLiC
Japanese Movie - 2022
Completed: March 17
The film certainly dazzled with its visuals and costume design, but the storyline felt rushed. Trying to fit several volumes of the manga into a single movie led to a confusing narrative. I was also disappointed by Shibasaki Ko's performance as Yuko; her role was pivotal, yet it didn’t resonate with me. It came across as flat and devoid of emotion, which was a letdown. While I appreciated the film's artistic style, it had a theatrical vibe that gave it a somewhat low-budget feel at times, even with its quirky elements. The overly sexualized movements, club music, and exaggerated laughter in the final scene had me laughing uncontrollably; hilarious.

39. Maid's Revenge
Chinese Drama - 2022, 30 episodes
Start Date: January 11 Completed: January 11
The only reason I didn't ditch this drama is that Fang Yu Ze is just too ridiculously good-looking; it's almost criminal how attractive he is. On the flip side, Dong Ting Yao is your standard female lead who can't seem to use her brain properly. She constantly makes poor choices, and honestly, it's infuriating.
I can't wrap my head around how she talks about seeking revenge while blindly trusting people who are clearly up to no good. Dong Ting Yao has this irritating habit of jumping to conclusions without bothering to gather and think through the evidence first. This not only clouds her judgment but also lands her in precarious situations that could have been easily avoided.
Then there's our dashing and overly protective Governor, who risks his life over and over to save her. Despite all his efforts and the dangers he faces for her, she still doubts him and won't give him her trust. It's just ridiculous—seriously, can she not see how committed he is? If she doesn't want him, I’ll happily take him off her hands!

42. Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! (Uncut Ver.)
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Start Date: March 31 Completed: April 2
This series was such a disappointment. The first two episodes had me hooked with a promising concept, but then it all went downhill. The pacing was painfully slow, bogged down by endless dialogue and hardly any action, which was infuriating. The villains felt like they were evil for no reason at all. And the side characters? Constantly betraying each other—why would you ally with someone you can't trust when your life is at stake? The romance barely made an appearance until the second half, and when it did, it felt completely out of place. One kiss, a steamy moment, and suddenly they’re discussing marriage and adoption—seriously? Jack's character was a total wreck, devoid of any real substance, while Yin did his best with a weak script. The only bright spot was Toiting , Granny and Joke; War brought genuine emotion, even if his impulsiveness caused chaos. His actions stemmed from love and care, making him the glue that held the plot together. The final showdown? A chaotic mess that left me scratching my head about what the writers were even trying to say. Overall, I’m thoroughly disappointed and won’t be coming back for more. It was just too boring. I really hope the male leads get a chance in a better project; they deserve to shine, but this was not it.

44. The Prince of Tennis
Japanese Movie - 2006
Completed: February 18
This movie misses the core elements that made the original series so engaging. It lacks the camaraderie, passion, and genuine love for tennis that truly resonates with fans. The characters seem flat and disconnected, and the plot feels rushed and shallow. Trying to fit 68 episodes of the original anime into just two hours leads to a fragmented story that doesn't capture the audience's interest. While Ryoma was the main character in the original, this version oddly shifts the spotlight to Tezuka, leaving the rest of the characters feeling dull and uninspired.

If I were the writer, I’d be mortified to release such a half-hearted excuse for a story. Sure, they’re meant to be short, but this is just riddled with plot holes—there’s hardly any story to grab onto. How can we expect viewers to connect with the characters when each episode is just a fragmented mess of what could have been? It’s infuriating, leaving the audience questioning why they even bothered to watch. There are some decent miniseries out there, but this is not one of them.
