Review Why Her?
You do know this is a review site, don't you?
vulpinekl Oct 22, 2022
Well, I've managed to watch 30 out of the 178 all the way through and a couple of those I only managed because I was still new to SE Asian Drama. I got through a couple more by skipping most of the story arcs I didn't like. I think I've probably tried over 90% of them.
So, on the whole I'm pretty on board. I'd pretty much agree with all the top 15 apart from Goblin which I rewatch regularly (all except the last episode - once was enough).
On From Now On, Showtime! Oct 19, 2022
Bit too puerile for me I'm afraid, I struggled through the first episode and gave the second a good go and flicked through another. There are some good actors on show and the premise sounded interesting but just not my bag, every time it started to pull me in silliness ensued.
Good fun if the humour is your thing.

I was drawn in by a couple of Goblin and suchlike comparisons which are truly unjustified.

An excellent review which I thoroughly agree with.
Modern C drama - Provide uncomplicated poorly thought-out hook to bring couple together, forget hook - rely on 'cute' interactions of Celeb leads with occasional tropes thrown in. Rinse. Repeat

Title Happiness
Got to halfway before the stupid things for the sake of keeping the plot going just got too much. It was an OK zombie thing but as ever zombies work better in films better than in series.

It takes time to change culture even once you accept it needs changing - The UK is still trying to sort out it's problem with male suicide and we've known about it for a while now.

I find with long dramas a judicious use of FF is your friend. PHN doesn't usually play leads which is probably why she's fun to watch.

I can't remember which now so let's stick with both. Park Ha Na is an actress that always catches my attention unfortunately many of her dramas just aren't my thing.

Title Mr. Bad
Ok, enough is enough for me. I have decided to drop this drama now. I have nothing against the cast, I adore the…
Good review echoing pretty much why I dropped it. How on earth did she get so many certificates for bravery when she pretty much becomes helpless in every situation after episode one?

Title Mr. Bad
On ep. 11 sorry but story is getting ridiculously, such a letdown 😳 OK perhaps I’m too “old”for this…
Made it further than I did - I did like the brief homage to Goblin in the alley way and the mother was refreshing - rest of it not so much.
On My Absolute Boyfriend Oct 3, 2022
I was doing the ironing at the weekend and couldn't find anything nice and light to watch whilst doing so. Then this popped up on one of the lists and I'm watching it and still laughing and getting the feels from it. I think I've watched it once a year since it aired it ain't perfect but it's great.
On Babyfaced Beauty Sep 27, 2022
I stuck it out for a while but they were all so unlikeable and I got to the point where I didn't care if she was found if it only stopped all those 'this time?' moments. I'll put it on hold and try it again some day.

I started it because of this comment and I am glad I did. So, Thanks.
I tried rewatching it and the slog in the middle was really hard to go through a second time. Still plenty of fun with a judicious use of FF
Replying to Honey2lemon Sep 22, 2022
i think it's the male dominated society that they live in. I put off watching c-dramas for this exact reason
LTCFL was sort of OK but the 'you must conform to the accepted beauty standards' bit was hard to crunch. She wasn't beautiful and successful till she had lost the glasses, curls, tan etc.
On The One and Only Sep 22, 2022
Kooky for the sake of kookiness only really works for short periods without something solid to frame it. This does not have that framework which is a waste of a couple of good actors.
