On While You Were Sleeping Jul 18, 2025
Just finished this last night, it was okay... not particularly memorable though. I think this is the first Bae Suzy drama that I thought she did a decent job at acting. I did find myself alternating between interest and boredom but stuck it out to see how it played out. Average at best, certainly not a rewatch for me. Personally, it didn't live up to the hype / high rating.
On Nine Puzzles Jun 27, 2025
Title Nine Puzzles
Just finished this, it certainly improved towards the end. I enjoyed the writing, direction and the cast. Honestly, I really like Kim Da Mi as an actor but thought she was miscast in this one.
On When the Weather Is Fine Jun 9, 2025
Certainly a slice of life drama, not to the level or greatness of MLN but still an engaging watch. Started off well, very slow in the middle [very slow] and picked up nicely at the end. Acting was fine although Im Se-mi stood out for me as being a cut above everyone else.
On The Potato Lab May 29, 2025
Called it quits after 2 episodes, it just wasn't doing anything for me and I wasn't interested in the leads. Give it a try, you might like it but it wasn't for me.
On Resident Playbook May 28, 2025
I had high hopes for this as I really enjoyed Hospital Playlist. Unfortunately, what I liked most about Hospital Playlist was sorely missing here... comradery. The residents just didn't gel [imo]. The writing was mediocre, the episodes were too long for the story, and the FL/ML lacked chemistry. It wasn't all bad but I did find myself nodding off during almost every episode. The cameos were fun though. Not the worst thing I've seen this year but I have no intention of rewatching it.
On The King's Affection May 9, 2025
This was on the more positive side of average. Story and acting were fine and the OST added to the mood. It could have been tighter which is probably why some folks are calling this boring. ML really needed to step up his swordsmanship but he healed super fast so it was okay. Lost count of how many army personnel were terrible archers and fighters. Also if you're trying to take down someone, you don't have to fight him in order... if you are in a group of 10 against 1 [and it's a matter of life and death], you don't have to wait for your turn. All-in will get the job done, this series could have utilized this fact. Park Eun-bin was good as usual.
On Wonderland Apr 30, 2025
Title Wonderland
Enjoyed this movie. While different from Yonder, it gave me the same vibe. If you could change how you exist or are presented in the afterlife, would you? or should you? Acting was fine... this was honestly the first time I enjoyed Bae Suzy's acting. Also, anything with Jung Yu Mi is an immediate watch list addition, she's great. Story was fine and it kept me entertained.
On Way Back Love Apr 29, 2025
I wasn't expecting much but this was an extraordinarily good drama. The storyline was intriguing and the acting was stellar. Kim Min Ha was absolutely fantastic... I can't say enough about her character portrayal. She was good in Light Shop, she was excellent here. Looking forward to seeing more of her in the future. A well timed series [all killer, no filler] + a suitable and satisfying ending. A great watch.
On The Beauty Inside Apr 25, 2025
Not going to lie, this one just didn't do it for me. It had potential to be great with excellent actors and storyline but it faltered... badly. I've seen LMK is several series and this is not his best performance. However, I can't figure out if it's him or the direction, so I'll blame both. Missed opportunities exploring the relationship dynamics during each change was a shame, it could have been so much fun. I think Wendy is an awesome singer but having to hear that song almost on repeat was tiring.
On Hyena Apr 16, 2025
Title Hyena
This was just okay. When it was good, it was great but it was pretty uneven with a lot of filler. They could have done so much more with the side [and main] characters. Honestly, the acting of the mains was hit and miss for me, and I think both the FL/ML are excellent actors... but something was off here.
On When Life Gives You Tangerines Apr 8, 2025
This was entertaining. Enjoyed the non-linear storyline and the acting was quite good. I didn't connect with all of the characters or situations but overall it was an above average watch. Was it the best thing I've seen... no, but that's just me. Time well spent and enjoyed.
On Healer Mar 31, 2025
Title Healer
This series was on my to watch list for quite a while. Glad I finally go around to it, it was an entertaining series. However, it would have benefited from a tighter ending... lots of loose ends still around. Perhaps they were leaning towards a second season but that seems unlikely now. Interesting to see the young version of Park Min Young and I think this is my favourite performance of hers. Worth the time... although the implicit ending was a disappointment.
On The Trunk Mar 20, 2025
Title The Trunk
Honestly, I liked almost everything about this. I found the story intriguing, the acting well done and the direction artistic. I can see how people could have a completely different opinion as this is not regular fare. It's non-linear [timelines] story telling with some pretty damaged characters... which kept me interested. I too wished this were a longer series and I would have loved to see more of the Jeong Won / Seo Yeon story prior to the contract marriages.
On Dr. Romantic Season 3 Mar 16, 2025
Spent the last month watching Dr. Romantic 1, 2 and 3... excellent series. I enjoyed the first one the most, perhaps due to the characters and friction/suspense. Solid acting, writing was very good as was the direction. I had no idea what it was about before watching so the English title of "Dr. Romantic" made me preconceive the storyline [incorrectly]. Great watch, please give it a try.
On Our Chocolate Moments Mar 9, 2025
This was like a warm hug. Short, sweet story with friendly characters and a positive vibe. Honestly, I came here for So Juyeon but stayed for the ensemble. Sharing is caring... especially with chocolate and friends.
