News I usually never REWATCH but... List
I sometimes revisit a few favourite scenes, but I almost NEVER rewatch an entire drama.
Not because I don’t want to — but simply because time is of the essence here, guys 😅
I started watching Asian dramas in September ’22 and quickly realised how late I was to the party. There are still sooooo many shows I want to discover, so rewatching isn’t usually part of my viewing habits.
HOWEVER, I do make a few exceptions:
To reevaluate my very 1st Korean drama (Business Proposal) ✅
To reevaluate my very 1st Taiwanese drama (Lesson in Love) ✅
To reevaluate my very 1st Chinese drama (Hidden Love) — Soon…
To reevaluate my very 1st Japanese drama (Kakafukaka / Screw-Up Adults’ Sharehouse) — Nope, once was enough! ❌
To reevaluate my very 1st Thai drama (Only Friends) — Maybe… one day
To relive the emotions of some of my favourite binged dramas (Yumi Cells 3) ✅
To rewatch a favourite show alongside a friend so we can share the experience together ✅
In short: I’m not a natural rewatcher, but under the right circumstances… I can be persuaded.

Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Like many people, this show was my very 1st ASIAN drama.
And what a cultural shock it was !

REWATCH: December '22 to reevaluate ✅ >>> New rating 8.5/10
I absolutely had to reevaluate that first watch a few months -and many Kdramas- later!
Btw, Business Proposal was -until recently- the only Korean drama I rewatched in its entirety (and re-rated). -
