Honestly, I loved season 2. It’s the first time Netflix has absolutely nailed it. Season 1 and season 2: pure masterclass 🙌🏻

I keep replaying Gun Woo’s knockout against that guy in the IKFC cage over and over in my head. The KO was so brutal, I actually screamed the first time I saw it.

Byeon Woo Seok is the most overrated Korean actor in history—no need to come whining if you’re not happy about it. It’s my opinion, and just my opinion 🫰🏻

IU going from the incredible Park Bo-gum to the awful acting of Byeon Woo-seok… seriously, that would drive you crazy watching it.

No joke, I can easily think of 5–6 Korean actors who could’ve taken Byeon Woo-seok’s place—and IU knows them *very* well 🤭

My list of actors:

* Lee Dong-wook
* Park Hyung-sik
* Seo Kang-joon
* Kim Seon-ho

And last but not least—the one IU knows perfectly, the biggest Korean actor: Lee Jong-suk 😌

Okay, I like “BiBi,” but I’m going to lose my mind if we hear her OST throughout all 12 episodes. Because two episodes in, and they’ve already played it like 20 times 😀

Second episode of “Perfect Crown” finished, and there’s a lot to say. First of all, what kind of budget are we talking about for this drama? We’re talking billions here, I assume. I’m even wondering if it’s not more than “Squid Game.” Everything looks so luxurious and rich, everything is perfect. Even the kid, who’s what, maybe 7–8 years old at most, has a better haircut than me 😭.

The only thing that feels somewhat basic for an average person is the “Subway” sandwich they ate… the contrast though 😭.

Anyway, we’re only two episodes in, but I can already see what kind of drama this is going to be. And that kind of drama isn’t really my favorite. I’m more into slice-of-life/romance dramas that feel grounded, rather than “bling-bling” ones. I’d take a drama like “When Life Gives Tangerines,” with life quotes that break your heart in two, over this kind of K-drama any day.

Just my opinion 🫶🏻.

I see tons of comments praising the first episode of this K-drama, but honestly—reassure me, did we watch the same thing? I’m not saying it’s bad, but it’s clearly not the best K-drama pilot, not even close. Honestly, I found it decent, nothing more. I wasn’t jumping off my couch or getting hyped at every scene.

From this first episode, I was already pretty surprised because I had misunderstood the plot—so it’s basically Joseon in the 21st century? That’s actually something new in K-drama history, so I’m curious to see how it turns out.

That said, it’s overloaded with filters—seriously, it’s too much, it almost hurts the eyes.

Otherwise, IU is stunning as always—I could fight an entire army for her.

IU DAYS 🌈🫰🏻😻

1 year after the release of the incredible and spectacular “When Life Gives You Tangerines,” the fairy IU, whose real name is Lee Ji-eun, returns today, April 10, 2026, with “Perfect Crown.”
Ladies and gentlemen, I wish you a happy “Lee Ji-eun Day” 🫰🏻🙌🏻

So, we’re 4 months into 2026 and out of 18 finished K-dramas, there are literally only 5 worth remembering:
- In Your Radiant Season (the best one for me)
- Bloodhounds Season 2
- Can This Love Be Translated
- Undercover Miss Hong
- To My Beloved Thief

Damn, that really says a lot… honestly, there’s no denying it—K-dramas have been going through a major decline for quite a while now. We’re getting way too many shows that are either bad or just average, with ratings stuck around 7.5–8.0. And to be honest, that already feels pretty generous on MDL, because whenever I watch a drama rated around 7.7, I rarely—if ever—find it good enough to personally give it an 8 or 9.

When was the last good romance-thriller K-drama? Because I feel like this kind of storyline just doesn’t work anymore with Korean audiences—we keep getting dramas that are either bad or, at best, just average.

So yeah, the drama “Siren’s Kiss” just ended after 12 episodes, and honestly, I’m wondering how I even made it to the end because I wasn’t really into it from the start. I only watched it for one reason: Wi Ha Joon. It’s better than his last drama, “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon,” but it’s still pretty forgettable. We’re definitely not on the level of “The Worst of Evil.”
Overall, it’s very predictable if you pay attention from the beginning of each episode. It’s an average drama that, in my opinion, doesn’t deserve more than a 6–7/10, so I’m giving it a 6/10.

PHS only has one haircut or what? Always the same dark middle part — I don’t think he’s changed his hairstyle in like 10 years. It’s always the same kind of look, either he keeps it fairly long like in *“Buried Hearts”* with a mullet, but still basically the same haircut every time.

Finally my guy Park Hyung Sik has a new K-drama, and it’s with Park Gyu Young, whom I love. But honestly, I barely recognized him—it’s actually crazy.

Now that it’s over, I’m not gonna lie—wouldn’t this be one of my best K-drama endings in a *very* long time? I absolutely loved the scene where he’s drawing, she comes in, he asks her to marry him, and then pulls out the ring. Honestly, I gave the drama a 9/10, but I could easily have gone with a 10/10. For me, it’s definitely one of the best K-dramas of 2026.

So IU, aka the fairy Lee Ji Eun, isn't singing the OST for this drama? Please, just hit me over the head with a shovel and bury me alive—I'm going to lose my mind.

I’m suffering so much—there’s absolutely nothing to watch right now. How are you holding up? I used to have a K-drama for every day of the week, sometimes even 2–3 on weekends, but now it’s empty on Wednesdays/Thursdays, and soon it’ll be the same for Mondays/Tuesdays after *“Siren’s Kiss.”*

I saw this on MDL and other sites confirming his appearance in Lee Jun Hyuk’s upcoming drama *“Awakening.”* They’ve been filming since March 2026, so it’s recent.

Honestly, I can’t wait for it to be over because it’s so damn boring. It’s not the actors’ fault, but the script is really awful. I keep yawning the whole time I’m watching it — it’s just way too dull. My rating won’t go above 6/10.
