1. Amidst a Snowstorm of Love
Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes
I picked this up for the main leads since I was curious to see them together I enjoyed their chemistry and liked how healthy their relationship was. Lots of sweet moments between them. Wu Lei's character Lin Yi Yang was a dream! The guy was completely devoted to his girl and that's just what I like to see! ❤️ The drama had some good points and some flaws, it could have been shorter maybe 20-24 eps so it did drag a little. There were many cringy moments/dialogue from the foreign actors....too many to count lol. It was a big budget production since half of it was filmed overseas so lots of great winter cinematography. I liked the music in the drama which created a warm ambience. Minimal conflict with zero interference in the couple's relationship was a big plus point. There could have been a deeper story but there was enough to keep me mostly engaged. Will pick a drama with Wang Xing Yue soon so I have to decide which one first...The Double or Story of Kunning Palace.

2. Umi no Hajimari
Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
It has been so long since I last watched a family focused J-drama and this one did not disappoint. Izutani Rana stole the show. She was adorable and her acting was incredible. She reminded me of Mana Chan when she was little. ❤️

3. When Life Gives You Tangerines
Korean Drama - 2025, 16 episodes
One of the rare times where hype met expectations. Park Bo Gum and IU were great together as well as the older cast. This was a heartwarming tender drama and yes I needed a box of tissues. ❤️

4. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
This was overall a wholesome drama. I enjoyed the pairing and my first time seeing Kim Seon Ho and Shin Min Ah. Nice cinematography with the seaside/village setting. This reminded me of C-drama Meet Yourself.

5. Perfect Marriage Revenge
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
I have been behind with my comments/mini reviews. I watched this 4 months ago and my memory is already failing xD From what I remember this was a decent watch. ML was okay, he didn't captivate me much and I felt his character lacked some depth. Glad the drama was kept to 12 episodes it definitely didn't need more than that.
