Short reviews
-
1. When the Phone Rings
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
- Yeon Seok's duality between a loyal sweet puppy and an intimidating sexy devil was the whole show. I wouldn't have finished it without him. Introverted shy actors are always a force to be reckoned with.
- Recommended for pure entertainment and Yeon Seok's fans.
- Plotline: leave your brain tucked under the sheets.
-
2. Don't Come Home
Thai Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
- Recommend for fans of mystery thriller with jump scares.
-
3. 1122 Ii Fuufu
Japanese Drama - 2024, 7 episodes
- Serious, emotionally heavy with realistic characters and gripping plot.
-
4. Recipe for Farewell
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
- Another brilliant performance by Han Seok Kyu!
- It's a comforting watch, despite the sad story.
-
5. Yaiteru Futari: Kosai 0-Nichi Kekkon kara Koi wo Hajimeyo
Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
- It's a feel-good drama with food, light-romance, and adorable characters.
- Too cheesy at times, so watch with caution haha
-
6. Riko High!!
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
- Two people meet at the worst possible situation and eventually help each other grow. A mix between comedy and serious relationship problems. Plus, the fact that the leads are a couple in real life, created a sizzling chemistry.
-
7. Love in the Edge of Divorce
Chinese Drama - 2025, 31 episodes
- Apparently, you can fix endless problems in the final episode and have a happy ending. Since the whole plot didn't make sense, why is it strange for ML's mother to turn into a lamb in a second and consent to the marriage that she was against since ep1? Why should the ML give up on the FL, after she repeatedly lied to him (+never apologized, cause it's always his fault, not hers..) rejected him and asked for divorce? Best to ignore her childish acts as usual and continue to spoil her to no end.
- Nevertheless (ehem ehem, I love using this word now, if you know, you know), I enjoyed this so much, despite the bad writing. This is like a trashy romance novel that you can't put down.

8. Pachinko
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
- I've read the novel first, but that didn't stop my tears from falling.
- Beautiful adaptation 11/10 ☆
-
9. The Story of Pearl Girl
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
- Great start, but turned into a disaster after the leads broke up.
-
10. The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
Bingeable and fun, but nothing memorable about it.
-
11. Let Wind Goes By
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Impressive performance by all main characters, but the plot didn't match their brilliance. Still recommended for its many intense and emotional moments.

12. Love Scout
Korean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
Suffered the kdrama curse of promising too much but delivering very little. I feel cheated in this romance.
-
13. The First Frost
Chinese Drama - 2025, 32 episodes
Got all the right elements for a bingeable show. Wasn't perfect but very enjoyable.

14. When Life Gives You Tangerines

“To us, Dad was the sea.”
I hate this drama. I really do. -
15. Karma
Korean Drama - 2025, 6 episodes
First episode isn’t that gripping but once you finish the 2nd one, you won’t be able to stop. Binged it with my sister yesterday and we had a blast.
-
16. The Childe
Korean Movie - 2023
Don’t miss the last scene before the final credits.
The best thing about slumps is watching something random or a genre I wouldn’t usually watch. Yes, I will not enjoy everything but a few will be surprisingly entertaining.
My only complaint about this movie is that the villains weren’t as charismatic as I hoped. But that didn’t ruin the story because the two leads ate their role. I’m relieved that there is no unnecessary explicit content, but you’ll need to cleanse your ears after all the cursing <_<
Recommended for action lovers who look for goodness in their leads and appreciate quirky characters who run in style. -
17. Connection
Korean Drama - 2024, 14 episodes
Predictable and full of dumb/unlikable character. It was a perfectly slow paced drama to nap and wake up without missing anything.
It has a certain familiar charm to it but nothing groundbreaking since it’s a 2024 drama. I kept waiting for a plot twist that never happened. And how the ML managed to hide his addiction from everyone for a long time was hilarious. That part was amusing.
