Train to Busan: 5/15/2025

I went into this movie already knowing the ending because it was something I had seen all over TikTok, this however did not make it hurt any less. The way people were selfless when it came to sacrificing themselves as well as the harsh reality of how selfish people can be when it comes to serving made everything hurt all the more. There is no way I can ever watch this movie without crying simply because of the ending. Now to the actual story, the fact that it could have been avoided if the person didn’t sneak in the train is crazy, it really shows how one thing can change everything. It also realistic how the military was not able to fully stop in the area they said they did, but instead another as we see in the end. There is so much to talk about but I don’t wanna spoil it nor do I wan cry while writing. It is simply a much watch movie.

Live On: 8/9/2025 ~ 8/10/2025

It was a really good show and I like how it was realistic. It made sense why the FL was embarrassed about being bullied, and while her actions were annoying there was a reason behind them. What I also like is how when the ML did doubt her for a second but immediately came to his senses and realized he was wrong. He was also probably one of her biggest supporters, since she had many that she made in this new friend group. Lastly the romance aspect was adorable, it was sweet and it fit the way the two characters acted. There was no unnecessary tension but instead a calm vibe which fit them. Though I would have liked a kissing scene it made sense why one never took place. I also like the side couples who were in the story. One of them was a couple which had already formed before the story. Through them we saw some relationships problems and while they did break up they eventually got back together. However when they got back tighter they didn’t simply just get back together but instead they grew as people and actually learned from the reason they broke up. The second couple we saw one they never actually formed but it was still cute to see. The guy was in love with the girl but also understood her boundaries and how she didn’t want to be in a relationship. This didn’t stop him from liking her because he believed that while he liked her that didn’t mean she owed him anything.

Twinkling Watermelon: 7/17/2025 ~ 7/18/2025

I finished this in the matter of two days because of how good it was. There were many moments where I was just pure laughing and smiling because of the relationships that take place. But there were also just as many moments where I was sobbing my eyes out because of things that happen. The two main couples were just perfect in every aspect of the word. They fit each other so well that it was like they were destined for each other. The main thing that makes this my favorite drama of all time was the ending, how it was not what you would expect. It was still a happy one but not in the way people would think which really got me to thinking on how we think as people, many would assume the father being able to hear would make them happy but that isn’t true. The Mother being able to have a happy home life and the father being able to realize he has a support system is what allowed them a better future, and I say better because they were still incredibly happy with there old one. It was something so sweet and really made me change the way I view things.

Squid Game: 12/30/2024 ~ 12/31/2024

The whole concept of this show is something that is unique, but it also deals with many heavy topics. We see many characters who are struggling financially and are heavy debt which leads them to join the games. We also shockingly see that these aren’t regular games but instead kids games where if you lose you die. Through the show we see many things happens such as friendships being formed, as well as alliances. We even see how some people try to cheat but this game has a weird way of fairness even though it is twisted in itself. As can be expected we see many people die, many of who we grow to love this being through loosing a game, betrayal, or even sacrifice. We also see how these conditions slowly break about the people and change them into someone they can’t recognize. In the end we have a tragic ending as we learn only one can survive and this makes everything seem pointless to MC especially when he leaves. We also learn that someone we thought was his friend inside the games wasn’t but instead the mastermind behind everything. This leads to the season to end with the MC wanting to get revenge. He however is not the only character we follow as we also follow a police officer who is looking for his brother. He learns about the games through the MC and decides to sneak in and see if his brother died in these games. Through him we see another side of the games that the players don’t. We find out that these games are done to entertain the rich who become bored of regular entertainment. Also we learn the truth about what happened to his brother and the police officer also experiences his own betrayal.

Well-Intended Love: 12/8/2023 ~ 12/22/2023

It’s been a while since I’ve watched this show so I can’t fully remember what it was about I remember that I really liked the romance aspect of till the whole plot twist thingy. It was a little awkward at times but overall it was quiet and while it was a contact relationship I still liked the chemistry. However what kinds made it loses points was the whole fact that the ML lied to the FL so while their relationship was cute their whole relationship was built on a lie which is something I could never forgive. No matter what the reason may be and I think the writers also kinda knew that because the second season is a parallel universe but instead it seems with an acting aspect. I have yet to watch but I hope I enjoy it more and it doesn’t have as big of a betrayal as this drama did.

What's Wrong with Secretary Kim: 4/1/2023 ~ 4/4/2023

I usually can finish a drama in about two days but I was pretty busy during this time so it took me a little longer but I still finished it quickly. The story itself was really cute and I really enjoyed watching it, the only thing I didn’t like and though I know it’s a big plot point is the whole lost childhood friend thing. This is simply because of the way it was done, while it made sense it sorta felt like it as tryna have the same effect as others dramas without being to similar. Mainly what I’m saying is that it could have been done another way. Either way I still really enjoyed this show especially when the Ml got jealous because that was simply hilarious to watch,

Unforgettable Love: 6/23/2025 ~ 6/28/2025

I have not only watched the show but also read the story because of how much I love it. It is truly and adorable story in every aspect of it. The ML truly cares for his son even though he may not know how to show it is very clear and it also really sweet the see how it learns to care for the FL as well as time passes. It asl adorable to see how much the sone cares for the FL and truly admires her and see her as his safe space. He is also the best wings man to every exist in the way he try’s setting them up. The side couples are also amazing, the first one being the FL and ML best friends ending up together which was so cute to watch happen and I simply love when that happens, it was also cute how the FL ran the relationships. The second couple was the two secondarily leads which is something I usually don’t like but it worked in this show.

The Heavenly Idol: 7/27/2025 ~ 7/31/2025

This show started off with a lot of potential even though it had a weird concept. However as time kept passing it just kept getting more rushed and certain points were often forgotten or simply never brought up again. Also the ending while it was cute it was the most rushed ending ever. They deserved at least another episode but instead it was like 10 mins to wrap up the story after that whole arc. Overall this had a lot of potential and had an amazing cast, but the execution of it was not the best. Though the only saving grace was the actual romance which while it was awkward was also something that was very cute and had me giggling. I really wish it was given more episodes to actually explore their connection and not just focus on the whole fantasy plot.

So I Married an Anti-Fan: 7/9/2025

I wanted something quick to watch so I put this on and I loved it, while the beginning is a lil hard to watch it is so worth. It was so cute and had me smiling so much at the end, also I loved the chemistry between the two leads. It doesn’t feel like the drama type of chemistry where it unrealistic but instead feels real and like it could actually happen even with how unrealistic the actual plot of this story is. Also I liked the fact that they didn’t try to change her to much but instead just let her gradually grow and that made them all the more perfect for each other.

So I Married an Anti-Fan: 7/9/2025 ~ 7/11/2025

I had really high hoped for this show considering that I really like the movie version of it. It was good at the beginning and I was really into but after a while it felt like it was dragging and not getting anywhere. There also the instance of the ML first love who I felt he never really got over after he was constantly defending her even when the FL was right there. It made it seem like he kinda settled for the FL and was into but not head over heels for her. There also the instance of the villain who was not only the first love but his ex best friend who boy got forgiven in the end because they got hurt, which while I guess made sense it made all the drama that took place pointless. The only reason I rated it so high was because I like the banter between the ML and FL when none of the drama was taking place.

Ski into Love: 6/5/2025 ~ 6/13/2035

I really enjoyed this show despite seeing that some people didn’t. Though I can understand why because there were many scenes that somehow didn’t feel complete like there was supposed to be another scene before it or one after it. Though I did later see that the drama was cut down into less episodes which makes sense one why it didn’t feel quite complete. Besides all of that the story itself was really cute especially the romance between the ML and the FL was really cute. The chemistry was really present between the two. I also liked how the FL wasn’t all naive though she did act like a child. My biggest critique was their break up because it felt really unnecessary and it caused more harm than it helped. Also there were two side couples one that lasted and one that didn't. The couple that lasted was really cute and I enjoyed watching them together, I also found the scenes when they were revealed to be together hilarious. The second couple while I liked them it made sense for they not to and up together even though I was sorta hoping they would makeup.

Spring of Youth: 7/31/2025 ~ 8/1/2025

I really enjoyed watching this show, so much so that I finished it in two days. It was a cute storyline and I love how much the ML was in love with the FL. The only downside is the whole mom storyline cause while I get what they were tryna do it was a little weird with the little flashes between him and the mom. Especially considering they happened when they were together. I do like however in the end she does say she no longer sees her mom but instead only sees him which makes it a lil better but it’s still a lil weird. Also I really wish we got more of a resolution between the FL and the 2ML, since it felt kinda opened ended. Overall all though it was a really good show, and I like how the villains actually made sense and weren’t just like random things for the plot.

My Sweet Mobster: 7/5/2025 ~ 7/8/2025

The idea for the show was there but I think the English title doesn’t really fit it especially considering the ML isn’t a mobster but instead a reformed one. Even so in the show he actually gets hurt when the FL refers to him as one. Besides that point it actually really sweet to see the romance between the ML and the FL. It was something that really made no sense at first but the chemistry was very there and made it feel natural. Though I think the inclusion of lost childhood friends was dumb and not really necessary, though it fit the story it kinda felt like an unnecessary plot point. Though there was that I also really like the secondary couple, since their relationship was one that started with one night. Even though it was actually sorta clear that the 2ml was already into the 2fl even before the knowledge of her being pregnant. It was sweet to see that and how he truly cared for her and would support her no matter her decision. The last thing that I think really redeemed this drama was the family aspect of the story, how the ML truly cared for each of his people and would do anything to defend them and take care of them.

Love O2O: 5/8/2025 ~ 5/13/2025

I really hate high hopes for this show because it looked really interesting and it started off really good. The characters were all like able and the romance actually progressed really quickly. This genuinely surprised me considering how many episodes there were, I expected it to be more of a slow burn. However the reason why I rated it so low is because of the kiss scenes that two place between the two leads. There chemistry was there but when the kiss scenes happened the FL just sorta stood there like a dead fish. She didn’t move nor did she kiss back. When this happened the first time I assumed it was there first kiss but then it just kept happening. This made their romance not as believable and sorta took me out of the story.

Business Proposal: 3/10/24 ~ 3/12/24

This is one of the first Kdramas that I watched and it is one of my favorites. This is because while there are allot of secondhand embarrassment scenes there are also a lot of cute scenes which make you forget about that. First of the ML and FL just fit so well together, like they are literally made for each other. The whole they meet it hilarious and their interactions make it even better, though when the truth is revealed the development of romance had already begun. So while the ML was in denial it was obvious that he was head over heels for already. The next best things was seeing when they actually got together and watching how their relationships developed into something so pure, that I can only dream to every experience. That’s not the only good part as there is also the second couple which watching happen was so cute. Sometimes when there are two couples it feels like there a two separate dreams being forced together but it didn’t feel that way. Instead it felt like there were two story’s taking place within the kdrama, both coexisting with each other and often meshing together.
