Drama's I've Rewatched

Watched four times, and it charms me every time. Seo in Gook is aces as Min Suk, and Lee Ha Na's Soo Young is incredibly relatable to me.

Watched four times. My favorite romance/rom-com drama and possibly in my top 5 favorite dramas of all time. The romance hits all of my sweet spots, and the leads are infinitely likable and relatable.

Watched four times. Very satisfying update on the lives of all of our beloved characters. I don't dislike a single thing about this special.

I believe I've watched this 3 times, but I've lost track. One of my favorite female leads.

Watched three times. Cotton candy fluff that packs an emotional wallop. Also, Kim Young Kwang is the cutest human personification of a puppy I've ever seen. (Well, maybe after Seo In Guk, lol.)

Watched twice. This is another re-watch where I love the drama even more after re-watching. Even the amnesia illness stuff worked for me this time. This is a great romance.

Watched twice. I'm still in love with this story and couple.

Watched twice. Surprisingly held up considering its age and era. Definitely has an infuriating love triangle and a somewhat drippy (sappy) finale, but still delightfully cute and (mostly) well-written characters and conflict.

Watched twice. Appreciate this drama so much more after a second viewing. Didn't get what it was doing the first time.

Watched twice. The scene where the Korean royal family watches the Berlin wall come down. Gets me every time.

Watched twice. This was a second chance drama for me. It's a lot better than I originally thought. Like, A LOT.

Watched twice. I really liked this one the first time I watched it, but I actually appreciate it a lot more now at this stage in my life. (currently in my thirties)

Watched twice. It's flawed, but the story and characters are full of charm and heart.

Watched twice. This is as good as I remember, only all of the seeing the future/seeing the past stuff made way more sense to me this time around, lol. The romance is great, although I wouldn't put it on my favorites list. I loooooove the themes this drama explores though around insecurity/self-confidence, and OOF, do I find this female lead relatable.

Watched twice. Every bit as charming and fun as the first time. But the random gangster sub-plot still serves no purpose. They should have cut those bits out. 

Watched twice. This is a sweet and charming and innocent romance to rival all the worlds innocent romances.

Watched twice. The way they made this drama work should not have been possible, but they won me over. (But your mileage may really vary, lol.)

Watched twice. The way the writers played with their timeline to create a layered and emotionally resonant romance was astounding. The secondary couple was frustrating, but the main couple are absolutely wonderful and make the entire drama worth it. 

Watched twice. It's kind of meh to me now that I've rewatched it. The main couple's romance is problematic in some respects, and in a better written drama, the female lead would end up with the second male lead instead. But it has its charm. Enjoyable fluff where you can turn your brain off and just have a good time.

Watched twice. I'm so impressed with the quality of the writing for this drama. I love the story, the female lead, the male lead (despite Cha Eun Woo's acting ability), the exploration of beauty standards, the exploration of female interpersonal relationships. I love basically everything.

Watched twice. Still love this drama, still insanely impressed with how well-done the pacing is.

Watched twice. This was an unexpectedly good rewatch. It will probably never be a favorite, but I enjoyed rewatching it from start to finish.

Watched Twice. This drama is so fun! It's excellently plotted and paced, has great comedy, and is surprisingly heartfelt with its themes. 10 out of 10.

Watched twice. This drama is just so dang fun! Perfect for something light and swoony to take your mind off of real life.

Watched twice. This is a comforting drama. Definitely fits the 'healing' label I see all over dramadom these days.

Watched twice. The first time I watched it, I didn't think the leads had any chemistry, and I dropped before the final ep, but I have to disagree with past me now, because I found the leads to be really fun together this time. It's definitely of its time, but it's still a pretty consistently humorous drama with a cute romance.

Watched twice. While I still wish the age gap weren't so large, I can't help but really love this couple.

Watched twice. I'm so glad this drama and the second season hold up. I honestly appreciate the series more now with a second viewing.

And I'm still heartbroken there will never be a third season.

Watched twice.

Watched twice. It was fun enough to turn my brain off during a rewatch and just enjoy the story for what it is, but I won't be watching this a third time. The storyline is just so...annoying and stupid, lol.

(I will be attempting a rewatch of the second season though. Something's wrong with me, lol.)

Watched twice. The romance is still frustrating in its lack of development, but rewatching it has given me a new view of the story.

Watched twice. I still really, really, really love this atypical female lead.

I finally made it all the way through this drama after 3 previous attempts. And I'm happy to say that I generally enjoyed it this time around. It's flawed and definitely of its time, but there are some fun things about this drama despite the flaws.

Watched twice. I hate this special, and I wish it either didn't exist, or they had done a second season instead where everything was fleshed out and we could retcon grandma making Kahoko solely responsible for the happiness of all of humanity.

Watched twice.

Failed rewatch. I will likely try to rewatch it again, but I just couldn't do it right now.

Attempted a rewatch and had to dropped near the end.

This drama is solid up until around the last 5 or 6 eps. It's downright hilarious most of its run. Unfortunately, the story has a heaping dose of final quarter angst, and I couldn't make myself finish.

Attempted a rewatch and dropped before the last episode.

I tried to finish for the sake of the female lead (I can't overstate how much I love her and relate to her struggles), but the romance was juvenile and painful to sit through. Won't be watching this again.

The story slowly devolves into (almost) everyone making choices that make no sense in relation to their character goals/motivations.

FUTURE SELF: Do not attempt to rewatch this again, YOU IDIOT!

Failed rewatch. I don't know why I felt compelled to watch this again. Sometimes you just make bad decisions, lol.
