August 2020 Releases
August 2020 dramas on my Watchlist.

1. A Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower
Chinese Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
"A Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower" is quite a good thriller. At first, I did not know what to expect. A comment warned future viewers that this is not action but more like a melo-thriller. And I agree. Though that makes the drama so much better. While still a procedural drama, it focuses on the suspects. Each episode focuses on a suspect (sometimes, two eps for one suspect). It allows the characters to tell their story. The police officers/detectives have to figure out whether they are being told a lie or the truth or something inbetween. Their stories help the viewer and the detectives to understand the victim. And while some characters seem to be genuine or at least good-hearted people, some seem like they are pure evil. This relatively short drama got me invested and immersed. I was a bit sad when it ended tbh. So, I certainly recommend this to everyone who loves thriller and doesn't need action to enjoy darkness. Deffo recommended. It was exciting until the end. Well-deserved 8.5/10!

Viki. A relatively short drama. Seems interesting.

3. Goedam
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
An alright drama. Could have been done better, tbh. Due to the short length, I'd say that you should go for it if you're interested, just don't expect too much.

4. Miss S
Chinese Drama - 2020, 34 episodes
SBS (Australia). Currently on-hold. It was alright so far. Deffo not a masterpiece but a good filler drama. I will certainly continue this when I feel like it or have nothing better to watch.

5. Missing: The Other Side
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
It's a good drama and I like the concept. The drama had a few weaknesses but it is still quite good. If you like investigation dramas with a bit of fantasy, this is perfect for you. The leads are all quite likeable as well. I had some trust issues with Ha Joon, but I will let you figure out, who is bad and who is not. Enjoy the journey!

6. Stranger Season 2
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Netflix. Let's finish season one first.
-
7. Twenty-Twenty
Korean Drama - 2020, 20 episodes
It's a fairly short drama but I'd say that you are not missing out on much if you don't watch it. I hoped for better but was left with a mediocre drama.
Watched: pre-March 2022.
