The Catch Up Project (or 'Suggested Dramas' I Should Watch)
Dramas that I've watched that have been highly suggested via multiple sources (ie friends, the internet. here, etc), since I began watching dramas in 2018.
(This is still very much a work in progress).
-
101. The Producers
Korean Drama - 2015, 12 episodes
Verdict: Eh
IU's Cindy was the most interesting part of this drama. I found Kim Soo Hyun's character really hard to like.
-
102. The World That They Live In
Korean Drama - 2008, 16 episodes
If the point of this drama was to show that working on a drama set sucks, then I guess its hit itself on the nail. If it's to be a mature slice of life drama it's failed. Lethal combination of pride and anger management issues. In every episode I've watched so far someone is throwing something, yelling at something, or hitting someone, and then sometimes they act like it was just common place. So it was really hard to get in to this, since almost every character can be extremely unlikeable most of the time, especially Soo Kyung, played by Choi Daniel, I could not stand that guy, and I wonder why he never got fired at all. This just dragged on and it took me forever to slug through it.

103. Thumping Spike
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
I think I might have enjoyed this more if I wasn't thinking about how problematic their relationship would be in real life. I know they very clearly emphasized that he wasn't a minor and mentioned how age gaps aren't bad, but he was still a high school student and her a teacher of sorts at the school. other than the ML was kind of annoying most of the time, and I don't know why the management team was making the coaching a bigger deal then it had to be. And I'm not sure what was up with Lee Tae Hwan's acting here but it was just off or something.

104. Tunnel
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Verdit: Eh
I thought the acting in this one was great, but it was also pretty damn predictable.
-
105. Two Cops
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
Verdict: Forgettable
The definite highlight of the drama is the bromance, along with the side characters, the 'Avengers' aka the conman crew. The storyline was okay, along with the romance (but I kind of wish I could have seen more the second couple). I kind of feel like I have nothing else to say about this, lol.
-
106. Ugly Alert
Korean Drama - 2013, 133 episodes
-
107. W
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Verdict: Nope
There was no logic to this, and at a certain point I just gave up trying to understand what was going on. Also the 'romance' made zero sense, and Han Hyo Joo's acting just wasn't it.
-
108. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Verdict: Favorite
I don't know how many times I've rewatched some of my favorite scenes from this drama, and It still hasn't gotten old. Also, do you like Messi?
-
109. While You Were Sleeping
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
Verdict: Eh/Forgettable
-
110. Who Are You
Korean Drama - 2013, 16 episodes
Verdict: Forgettable
-
111. Witch's Court
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
I guess I dropped this? For as serious as the subject matter, it was just not interesting to me. Also I really can't stand the female lead. She got a bit better later on, but I also didn't really like the acting here either.
-
112. Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge
Japanese Drama - 2010, 10 episodes
Verdict: Eh/Forgettable
This is kind of mix blend of different genres's with a little bit of absurdness on the side that doesn't always make sense (probably works better as a anime). I don't know I'd say it was more for children, but some of the stupid matter does lend to that. At least the lesson was about being yourself even when others try to challenge you, and the FL was definitely herself, lol.
-
113. You're Beautiful
Korean Drama - 2009, 16 episodes
Verdit: Nope.
Truthfully I don't remember most of this, but I remember thinking it was silly and dumb. And there was a pig-rabbit?!
