♫ - See The Light - Lim Hyunsik
♫ - May I Love You - Jae Yeon
♫ - Say My Name - Yoo Yeon Seok

Vibes:

✓ Yoo Yeon Seok
✓ Yoo Yeon Seok's hands
✓ Baek Sa Eon as a character
✓ "Hee Joo isn't supplemental pages. She's a brand new language."
✓ oh, THIS MAN CAN KISS
✓ the second lead couple, i wanted more of them

Not Vibes:

✗ why did he even like her? idk
✗ the villain reveal wasn't surprising
✗ the twin reveal was surprising, but it just didn't hit
✗ what was the point of the step sister coming back
✗ i didn't like how all of sudden the mom cared about her daughter stfu
✗ wtf was that last episode

Memorable episodes: ep. 1 (01:04:31),  ep. 2 (01:03:42), ep. 4 (01:04:03), ep. 7 (01:05:03)

Final thoughts: I was really vibing with this in the beginning. It was interesting, had pretty leads, great chemistry, good OST, but towards the end it began to fall apart. Which is sad. Honestly, up until that last episode, it was probably an 8.5 but it ended....well.
Just watch the timestamps I left above lol

Genre: Romance, Comedy, Slice of Life

♫ - N/A

Vibes:

✓ GREAT kissing scenes and LOTS of them
✓ Miles Wei
✓ big fan of the managers story line
✓ the couple was mature and communicated most of the time

Not Vibes:

✗ the story felt like it dragged on for too long, this would have been better as like 24 ep
✗ the FL's wardrobe
✗ the bestie and her bf's story, what was the point
✗ this feels marketed as contract relationship but doesn't really feel like contract relationship

Memorable episodes: ep. 7 (36:55), ep. 9 (05:39)(41:38), ep. 15 (40:30), ep. 17 (20:13)

Final thoughts: It was a cute little romcom with forced proximity and very good kiss scenes. I would recommend if you're looking for an easy light hearted watch.

Completed: 01/06/25

Thoughts: honestly, the only part that felt necessary and was cute af was seeing the second lead couples life as a family with a child

Binge Watch/ On Air Watch: On Air

Genre: BL, Romance

♫ - Savior - One N' Only
♫ - Vase - cocolashika

Vibes:

✓ chemistry >>>>>
✓ both boys on the surface seem unapproachable, but underneath have very likeable personalities
✓ popsicles
✓ character development
✓ cinematography
✓ the opening credits are bomb, that OST >>>
✓ themes of water; water bottle, rain, river, sea

Not Vibes:

✗ i would have liked to see how Hirukawa overcame the trauma he experienced as a teen
✗ i also would have liked to see more of Minase's relationship with his own father fleshed out more
✗actually, the entire family situations could have been more fleshed out

Final thoughts: ep. 4, ep. 6

Completed: 01/11/25

Watched on: Netflix

Genre: Romance, melodrama

♫ - N/A

Final thoughts: It was cute, but it was a story we've seen plenty of times about two teens in love but torn apart and knocked down by life, to find each other again. If you're in the mood for that, then it's a decent pick.

Vibes:

✓ i LOVED the main leads
✓ great chemistry
✓ great banter
✓ great tension
✓ great visuals
✓ pretty cinematography
✓ Elvis Han HELLOOOO HOTTIE

Not Vibes:

✗ everything else was boring and mediocre

Memorable episodes: ep. 4 (54:12), ep. 6 (58:03), ep. 8  (04:25, 18:15), ep. 9 (44:37, 55:06), ep. 10 (18:20, 34:57, 46:10-end of ep),  ep. 11 (52:04 - end of ep), ep. 12 (whole montage for the first 01:06, 09:05), ep. 13 (47:25), ep. 14 (00:50, 42:31)

Final thoughts: Look, if you wanna skip and fast forward through all the other bullshit.. I think that just watching to two main leads when they're in the same space together is SO worth it. But like 2x speed everything else. Good luck.

Binge Watch/ On Air Watch: Binge

Genre: Romance, melodrama

♫ - Savior - Hong Isaac
♫ - Savior - Kyuri

Vibes:

✓ slow burn
✓ yearning
✓ contract marriage
✓ sad characters finding solace in one another
✓ the characters healed before we were given a chance meeting at possibly being together again
✓ good chemistry between leads
✓ the whole vibe of the show, the house, the lake, really good settings

Not Vibes:

✗ something felt missing
✗ could have went without the stalker plotline

Memorable episodes: N/A

Final thoughts: Overall, I really enjoyed this one. I binged it in a day. I think it's a good, lazy Sunday kind of drama. It's a slow-paced drama though, so if you don't like things more mundane, about the human condition, then maybe skip. Slow burns, contract marriage and yearning are the kind of things I eat tf up, so this ws right up my alley. If you also enjoy those things, I think you'll like this one. Plus, it's only 8 episodes.

Genre: Action, medical, slide of life, drama, comedy

♫ -

Vibes:

✓ fast paced
✓ lots of character growth
✓ heartwarming stories
✓ engaging
✓ had me laughing and crying

Not Vibes:

✗ sometimes it felt over exaggerative
✗ felt like it ended when it was just really beginning, like this was a prequel 

Memorable episodes: N/A

Final thoughts: This was a good watch, I also binged all of this roughly in a day (the same day as The Trunk). It's fast paced, funny, and heartwarming. It engages you due to the severity and need to be fast and on your toes during these cases. They work in a trauma center after all. The main lead was very likeable and was stubborn and stood on business. And had the knowledge and experience to back it up and form long lasting relationships while teaching his hoobaes. Definitely recommend if you're in need of a quick, fast paced, good story. Hopefully, there is another season of this one. I felt like it ended too soon.

♫ - Test Me - Paul Blanco
♫ - Always be with you - Paul Kim
♫ - More and More - MRCH
♫ - Run to You - hiko

Vibes:

✓ Yu Eun Ho as a man/character/idea/person, all of it
✓ when Eun Ho, who is typically reserved and collected, gets flustered and panics or gets jealous
✓ Eun Ho has nice hands
✓ I like that they didn't make Ji Yun this super cold, harsh character, but rather a guarded woman who genuinely cares about her clients well being despite her cold way of doing things

Completed: 03/23/25

Watched on: Prime

Genre: 

♫ - Sunrise - Primary, ickyvichie & Puggi

Vibes:

✓ fast paced
✓ the ends of episodes left you wanting to know what happened next
✓ stupid people surprisingly were smart in life-or-death situations
✓ i really liked the concept of if you're drunk af, the zombies want nothing to do with you + how being drunk stops the turning process, it was a unique take i had never seen before

Not Vibes:

✗ that the only hot guy...yk
✗ mediocre acting, especially Jisoo ?
✗ so much over the top screaming
✗ the cringe comedy in the beginning (it got better over time tho)

✗ nonconsensual, drunk kissing

Memorable moments: N/A

♫ - Shine A Light - LUCY

Vibes:

✓ the second couple  ♡ 
✓ the vibes were nice and aesthetic

Not Vibes:

✗ the male lead felt so immature even for being younger than her, i thought i was watching twinkling watermelon for a second in the beginning
✗ that god awful halmeoni

Memorable moments: N/A

Watched on: Viki

Genre: 

♫ -

Vibes:

✓ the show picked up in the middle
✓ both leads are good actors, just given a not-so-great script
✓ cinematography was really pretty

Not Vibes:

✗ rough start, mediocre ending
✗ i'm unsure what the point was; was she really a witch or not?
✗ the random switch of focus and out of nowhere connection to his bestie being like her
✗ i didn't really feel the chemistry, which is strange because there was chemistry in the promotions for the show

Memorable moments: N/A

Final thoughts: This has a slow start, a good middle and a mediocre ending. The actors did the best they could with what they were given. But it sure looked pretty.
