On Windy Mi Poong Sep 28, 2023
It's basically daily airing soap opera trash disguised as a weekend family drama. I have lower standards for weekend family makjangs, but this was more on the level of the daily airing shows. It had a very strong start with so much potential. In the beginning, ML and FL first meet as kids and eventually become friends as a North Korean and South Korean. This concept and childhood arc was so unique. The drama also touches on the difficulties defectors face in South Korea, such as discrimination and being targets for scammers. On the downside, the villains were ridiculously shameless, too shameless in my opinion. The moms were also too much. It used its fair share of trashy makjang tropes. I will give them credit for avoiding cancer and dementia (though there's a bit of amnesia). They also had some diagnoses that were rare for makjangs, which was refreshing. This drama was an emotional roller coaster, but not in a good way. It made my blood boil, increased my blood pressure, and possibly induced a lot of stress.
On Forever Love Sep 16, 2023
Title Forever Love
This is one of those guilty pleasure low budget minidramas. It's pretty makjang, but it serves its purpose as entertainment, especially with the romance. FL is very weak in the beginning and it can get frustrating, but you have to remember that she's new to the whole being blind thing so you have to be patient. As for the ML, it's an odd case of oppa actually CAN act. Poor Dai Gao Zheng is dangled like a piece of meat in this drama. This is the most amount of shirtless scenes I've seen him in yet. Here's hoping he'll land himself a main role in a more "serious" drama with big budget production. Until then, I'm sure fans will continue to enjoy seeing him and his abs as eye candy in these minidramas.
On W Series: The Way You Shine Sep 13, 2023
A very average plot that seemed to have come straight out of daily airing korean soap, except the main two leads can really kiss. :P There may be one or two non cliche things, which I will not mention (check for triggers). The ending felt very unfinished.
On Sweet and Cold Sep 13, 2023
ML is adorable, sweet, and smooth as butter. FL is more cool than she is cold. Together they had great chemistry. The dessert on the poster accurately describes them well. The rest of the drama is your typical business drama plot with side couples no one cares about. You could skip over those. However, I appreciated some of the awareness campaigns that FL's company had. Conclusion: The main romance was worth the watch, skip the rest.

hahahaha right? hahaha meanwhile chinese title is "Allure with a kiss"
That makes much more sense and a bit on the nose considering the plot. xD

this show is actually so good and im glad it isnt just mainly romance but ITS SO DAMN CONFUSING?? i saw a girl…
Lol something tells me tiktok aint gonna cut it. It's complicated to wrap your head around even if you watch the series. Don't worry, things clear up a lot by the end.

im so confused all the tiktoks…. Is this a bl?
No, it's not, but there's a gay character, who probably gets like 10 minutes of screentime.

I just finished one called Miraculous Brothers which you might like better. I liked this onebut the other was…
I'll put it on my list! There's a lot of good mystery/thrillers I need to catch up on.

The first half was pretty boring, but there's a major twist in the 2nd half so things got a bit more interesting…
Good luck! You might have to speed watch. The plot does get a bit crazy ridiculous. If you really want me to spoil it for you, I will.

No, there are multiple murderers. Reporter hates the mom.

Yes, but there's more to it than that because it also covers the reporter's actions. Also, the drama doesn't really focus on the romance. Two guys like the FL, but that's about it. Since you were right about one of the twists, make sure to mark your previous comment as a spoiler!

The original show was also 13 episodes long so I'm sure the koreans would've wrapped the story up in 12 too.
Ok cool. Thanks. For some reason I thought MDL had this listed as 8 episodes.
On A Time Called You Sep 8, 2023
Only asking cuz of the episode count, but does this have a complete ending? Or did they split it into two parts?

Does it get better? Dropped it after 3-4 episodes
The first half was pretty boring, but there's a major twist in the 2nd half so things got a bit more interesting then. There were a few really good scenes in the second half as well as the story takes a turn. That being said, I think the writing was a bit messy overall.

Title Longing for You Spoiler
One of the few rare dramas where the second half is better than the first. I liked the conclusion, but there were times during this drama where I had to shut my brain off due to ridiculous scenarios...which kind of defeats the purpose of watching a mystery/thriller. Anyways, I loved the scenic shots of the ocean. Also, that major twist blindsided me.

Title 3 Papas
A fun lighthearted and heartwarming drama about three goofballs and a cute baby. It's got some great messages too.
On Trick or Love Aug 28, 2023
Family drama makjang with a bit of gender bender twist. I enjoyed the comedy. Unfortunately, the plot slows down significantly in the 2nd half, but that's kind of expected for this type of genre.

Title Numbers
If a kdrama becomes Squid Game hype theres a possibility for a second season. You know that this won't get a second…
In that case, the ending is frustratingly realistic. But for kdrama world, its hard to believe they'd end it like that. You never know, sometimes it depends on the network.
