Dramas Completed: 2025

Two words to describe this endearing drama: Adorably Awkward ❤️

Couldn't wait to watch this....made it a high priority as soon as it was fully subbed. Kinda felt like an asadora with the narrator. It had an anime/manga feel to it (I know it's based from a manga) so I guess it tried to match as close to it. 

The games were so intense! I liked the Korean cast overall but couldn't stand the VIP characters....they were so cringe and hard to watch xD Squid Games will stay iconic for years to come. 

The drama itself was decent enough....I wasn't as emotionally invested the way I thought I would be and it didn't quite meet my expectations but there was enough going on to keep me watching. A few side characters were a bit annoying....didn't connect with them. Lee Do Hyun's acting has not captured me so far not in this drama or when he was in The Glory...so it makes me less motivated to see his other works going forward. 

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. 

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. ❤️

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. ❤️

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. 

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.
