1. When the Stars Gossip
Korean Drama - 2025, 16 episodes
( ͠❛ ͜ʖ͠❛ ) Wasn't anything special!
I didn't know what I expected but the first episode had me bored.
I do like the concept it's a similar setting to you are my glory but probably
with better acting. I just didn't like any of the main characters, which
stopped me from progressing any further. I dropped it quite quickly
because the acting nor plot captured me. -
2. When the Phone Rings
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
(•﹏•;) I had high expectations for this.
I left it for a bit but after seeing raving reviews on social media
I gave it a try. I didn't make it far though as although the plot
was quite exciting I just found myself skipping through the episodes.
For such a edging plotline the suspense was quite...mundane.
I dropped it and then a couple weeks later everyone started review
bombing it so I think I dodged a bullet. -
3. Nevertheless,
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
REWATCHED
(ง︡'-'︠)ง This show is a masterpiece with one short coming.
Literally everything about this show is immaculate. Out of all
the shows I've ever watched the quality of filming and soundtrack
is beyond what I expected.
At this point, I've watched it at least 6 times and it doesn't bore me.
The story is the only let down but we can blame the manhwa for that!
I really like the characters and how great it is at displaying different tropes
without shoving them in your face.
I actually based my English speaking exam on the unrealistic expectations
we receive from media using Nevertheless, as the example.
It's incredibly unrealistic but that's what I like about it.
Jae-eon, in all of his toxicity, is a breath of fresh air from the endless
amount of CEOs in the pool. Nabi and Jae-eon just made sense
and I will forever believe that. Nabi had plenty of admirers but
none of them felt right.
I also love the art university setting , which they captured perfectly. -
4. Tempted
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
REWATCHED - DROPPED
૮ ⚆ﻌ⚆ა I was looking for another playboy ml...and well tempted was
the only one that came up.
I forgot how...bad it was? The characters, plot, and soundtrack are all
just unlikable. I got incredibly bored...skipped through the episodes I watched. -
5. Wakatte Ite mo: The Shapes of Love
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
(୨୧•͈ᴗ•͈) I haven't felt...giddy as this...in a long time
HES SO? GORGEOUS? I...THE TENSION...MY HANDS ARE IN FRONT
OF MY FACE, AS I PEEK THROUGH THE GAPS.
Although its an adaptation of both the webtoon and K-drama, I really like
how it makes itself its own show. The budget does seem much lower but I'm in
love with their art directive. It's incredibly minimalistic but has a clear style.
The tension is clearly displayed, which mad me cringe and writhe in literal pain.
This was exactly what I was searching for. It felt much more mature and simplistic
than it's counterparts, which were a nice touch.
It's a show that I believe could have been an email. Plot wise it feels rushed but
the dialogue drags out all the scenes far beyond what I think was necessary.
I think with this style of filming and editing it would have been a very nice film
adaptation.
