Murder, Mystery, and a Dash of Romance – The Coroner's Diary Review

If The Imperial Coroner and The Coroner's Diary were siblings, I'd say the elder sibling (Imperial Coroner) is sharper in intrigue and mystery 🔍, while the younger (Coroner's Diary) is sweeter with more heart-eyes and romantic fluff 💕.
I loved The Coroner's Diary! The cast did a great job—solid performances all around. The ML had charm, brains, and just enough puppy energy to make us root for him 🐶. The FL was smart, steady, and not the type to faint at the sight of blood—finally, someone who knows what a coroner is supposed to be! 🙌
That said... The Imperial Coroner still holds the crown when it comes to mystery, plot twists, and pacing 👑. It had a slightly tighter grip on the crime-solving, while The Coroner's Diary sometimes got distracted by its own romantic tension (not complaining, just saying 😏). If you came for the forensics and stayed for the feels, this one delivers both, just with more uwu moments.
Both dramas are worth watching, depending on what you want more of—mystery or mush. Personally, I watched one after the other and had a great time bingeing. Would I watch it again? Probably when I forget who the killer was 🤭.

Final verdict: Fun, romantic, a little less gritty than its predecessor but still full of charm.🧪🕵️‍♀️💗
