My favourites & recommendations ♡

The dramas I enjoyed a lot and would rewatch/recommend to others! Some of them aren't objectively the best but I still liked them. Most are romcoms and healing dramas~ ^^ (I've marked my FAVOURITE favourites with a heart). Longer reviews for each show can be found on my "(year) viewing diary" lists.

1. Our Beloved Summer

Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

9.5

♡ FAVOURITE
One of the most perfect dramas ever.... The characters, the storyline, the way the scenes were filmed.... It was just so beautiful I'll never get over it. To me this drama is the word "yearning".
2. When the Weather Is Fine

Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

9.0

♡ FAVOURITE
At first I considered dropping this drama a few episodes in but I'm so glad I didn't. As the episodes go on you get to slowly learn more about the characters and their pasts, and the serious topics are shown very well. It's slow-paced but it didn't feel like a 16-hour watch at all. The time didn't feel like it passed.
3. Hana-Kimi

Japanese Drama - 2007, 12 episodes

10

♡ FAVOURITE
This is so stupid I love it. It has what so many drama's are missing; early 2000s emo hair, dumb humour, homoeroticism, and an almost concerning amount of crossdressing. If Hana Kimi has no fans I'm dead.

This is the first webtoon-based drama I've seen that felt EXACTLY like reading a webtoon!!! The humour was so dumb and the cuts between shots really like comic panels. It was refeshing and also Kwak Dongyeon is such a cutie in this <3 HIMBO PUPPY BOY SUPREMACY!
16. Behind Your Touch

Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

8.0

One of the few dramas I watched while it was airing (as opposed to waiting til it's completely out and binging like I usually do lol) and every week I was craving the next episode and even writing theories hahaha. I don't usually like murder mystery dramas but this was interesting and actually pretty hard to guess the killer. Of course it was funny too~
17. 20th Century Girl

Korean Movie - 2022

8.0

To be honest I feel like something was missing from this movie to make it perfect to me, but even still it was a watch that left me in emotional agony by the end and still thinking about it days after. That last line broke me.
