The only zombie dancing to BOA's No. 1
I can’t say enough good things about My Daughter Is a Zombie. This movie made me laugh, cry, and nearly explode from the emotional roller coaster toward the end. Seriously, my heart was not ready (and my hands are tied, so you’ll have to watch it yourself to know what I mean 👀). It’s heartwarming, hilarious, and surprisingly deep, a perfect blend of hope, patience, and the reminder that family and friends are the greatest allies we have.Jo Jung Suk has officially become my go-to actor. His comedic timing, expressions, and ability to switch between funny and heartfelt moments are just unmatched. I genuinely couldn’t get enough of his antics here. And Ae-yeong the cat? Absolute cutie, a small but adorable bonus that somehow makes everything better.
This movie hits all the right notes from funny, emotional, and meaningful without being heavy. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who needs a little laughter, a few tears, and a warm hug in movie form. 🧟♀️💖
📌 Watch this if you’re craving a heartfelt comedy that balances chaos, comfort, and unconditional love with a dash of zombie fun.

Simple, Sweet, and Just the Right Amount of Crazy
I’ve really missed seeing Yoona in movies and dramas, so Pretty Crazy was such a nice treat. It’s funny, light, and gives that fluttery “crush” feeling, nothing groundbreaking, but charming in its own way.Story-wise, it follows the familiar rom-com formula. It’s not exactly predictable, but it does feel a little short on depth, like it could’ve explored more. Still, it’s touching in small moments and doesn’t try to be more than what it is which is a fun, feel-good watch.
📌 Watch this if you want a short, funny, and easy-to-enjoy rom-com sprinkled with Yoona’s charm that’ll leave you smiling, even if just a little.

A classic K-Drama from 2014
This one has always been recommended to me by a lot of friends who watch K-Dramas (plus D.O is here sooo...) but I put this on my watch list long long time ago that happened to resurface after I watched a clip of it and I am not disappointed. This a pretty good drama, and one of the classics, too.The storyline is unique than most I've seen. I actually thought the format would be like 1 mini story per episode and a 1 overall big story but it wasn't like that at all. It's mostly just us watching these different characters living in one house and their relationship with the people around them and their traumas and mental health struggles. It's pretty cozy but at the same time it sends my emotions into a roller coaster ride. One time I was laughing, next, I was crying, then I was cringing and then I literally stood up from my seat. I enjoyed it very much. Jo InSung and Gong HyoJin is great actors and actresses but I don't see much chemistry on them. They did great justice for their roles here though. For some reason, KwangSoo looks dumb and a jerk (plus cringe) here but maybe I've watched too many Running Man episodes that I can no longer unsee his foolish side in RM.
One icky thing that I cannot overlook is the depiction of mental health disorders -- Tourette's syndrome and schizophrenia don't sit well with me. I just feel like this is not the best depiction or representation of the disorders but it was 2014, and maybe mental health wasn't a trend back then. Other than that, everything is great for me. Also, loved the concept of self-love and self-appreciation and seeking help when needed.
The OST for this drama is on my playlist years before I watched it which only means I love it way way before. I probably won't re-watch this on the foreseeable future but I am glad I watched it. It's one of the classics that you should watch at least once.

4 cryptic and poetic storylines
It's a really short watch but it left too many questions in my mind that I'd probably think about for months. There were 4 completely separate storylines which is really mind-boggling. Also, I realize this type of things is not my cup of tea.I would say there might be a lot of depth on this anthology and I've read quite a few review and critic and I'm so amazed how other people perspectives varies and it definitely help me appreciate this more.
If I'd be completely honest, if I just watched it without reading reviews or critic about it, I'll be just completely lost and think wth did I just watched? So maybe if you're the type of person who thinks really deeply, you would like this.
Also, I love seeing IU portray different roles and totally nailing it. It was just over an hour so I'd recommend it (also reading reviews and critics that will help you puzzle some pieces together.)

Very light romantic comedy that will send butterflies to your stomach
I haven't watched Goblin yet but when I see Lee DongWook and Yoo InNa together they look like they have a good chemistry on screen so I decided to give this a try. I wasn't disappointed because aside from those occassional bursts of laughter from me, they really did send me sparks and romance between them. The story overall feels neutral, although there are some 'law' stories going on, it doesn't really delve into that category that much. It mostly kept the romantic comedy vibe. It's not bad yet it's not that impressive.I'm just glad that they made the character less annoying than usual k-dramas. Most of the k-dramas I've watched is a grumpy leading man who fell in love and became a nice guy but in this one they created a male lead who's stern but knows how to apologize when needed and acknowledges his own actions then eventually became a sweet guy (at least in his own little ways). Then we have a female lead who's an actress who's not dumb. Terrible at acting (not referring to InNa because she's great, I'm just describing her character) but is really doing her best in whatever she does which actually impressed me. Their secret office romance is so cute that it just gives off a smile on my face as I'm watching it. The side romances from the supporting characters is also cute and funny.
Maybe the best thing I could take from this series is the OST. Good Night by Jeong Sewoon and What if Love by Wendy is definitely staying on my playlist. I've been listening to these songs for days on repeat and I just can't get enough.
This is one of the classics I think. Not super hype but something really worth the watch.

Bite-sized, one day KDrama
The main reason that I watched this is because it's just 8-episodes and I feel like I need to watch full KDrama in a day and this fits perfectly into that category. To be honest, at first I am hesitant because I'm not into fashion thingy. I thought they'd be too technical that eventually I won't be able to relate but boy, I was wrong. Whether you have an interest in fashion or you're just a curious K-Drama lover, this series is still enjoyable.While I'm not an expert, I feel like the artistry used in this is somehow realistic yet I feel like it's not exactly too detailed (and I'm guessing it's a lot much more different in real life) The friendship among these 4 people is also just amazing (another friendship that I wish I had) the romance part though is not so much entertaining for me. I don't feel any sparks within the main lead love line. (I honestly loved SeonHo with her new boyfriend more although they had limited screentime. His dedication to SeonHo is unmatched really. Then here we have main leads who don't know what they're doing. Even the love triangle trope is a meh.)
Overall, I'm glad I stuck around for this one until the end. Their stories are definitely fun to watch and seeing them giving their all to their profession is just inspiring. If you're looking for a series that is just light-hearted yet you don't have much time, I recommend this.

All you need to know about Japan's 'sex culture' (?)
This was a funny documentary and I love how SiKyung and DongYup actually compliments each other in hosting. The comedian and singer balance kind of makes sense here. The way they react to things are also legit so it makes it more realistic.It was fun knowing this kind of different culture where a taboo thing on the rest of the world is just a normal thing in Japan. The sex toys, the whole AV industry, it was all mind-blowing.
Tbh, the real win for me is how this documentary made me laugh a lot. Unlike most documentaries that are too serious, this one is on the lighter side of things.
If you're not too sensitive about adult things, I think this is a fun watch. If you're a conservative type though, you might wanna skip this one or you might end up having your virgin eyes/mind devirginized. Hehe~

Who doesn't want a little revenge?
This was a unique take about revenge where the main lead devote his whole life for this grand revenge after his life has been ruined. It's just weird as well that the old guy keeps ruining this young man's life just because he didn't kneel down before him. For me, their reasoning and motivations are shallow but somehow they were able to make a decent story out of it.Male lead and female lead doesn't have that much of a chemistry but the female lead really looks cute specially when she's pursuing the male lead. I just can't get over the fact that almost every character in this series is motivated or fired up by something ridiculous. One revenge, another one power, another one is love. But somehow they made it work.
I had high expectations for this series that's maybe why I am disappointed as to how the story unfolds. Anyway, I still recommend this series because you'll learn a lot about life. Like how pursuing something whole-heartedly can take you places. I still had fun watching it.
P.S: Will edit this in the future if time allows.

Most awaited Season 2
I love that they created a new season that has a completely different plot line so even if you haven't watched the first season, you'll still be able to watch it. Some premises changed and the series is still connected on the first season somehow. The stories are just as rich and heartfelt as the first season but is not as structured as before. I love that the main casts remained the same although the villagers were completely replaced.The chemistry is still there and I love the new addition to the family which is Bora. Watch out what her role is to the family. Overall, I highly recommend this drama if you're a fan of crime, mystery, and fantasy drama.

Intriguingly mystic and the plot is so heartfelt
I love the unique plot of finding missing persons and delving into their individual stories. I love how the main plot combines perfectly with the subplots. It started a bit weird for me but it all made sense after a couple of episodes. I started to be really invested on it.I was thrilled to see casts that are usually an antagonist becoming good protagonists. It was so refreshing to see them in new roles. The chemistry between the cast is also so good that I feel like they really know what they do as a team and how they find these people. The bond among the villagers as well is like a tight-knit community. It's so lovely to watch them.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching this series. I am actually on the 2nd season and it's still amazing. If you're into those supernatural and crime genres, definitely watch this.

Are you ready to meet the Players?
At first, the story is so confusing because you can't see the bigger picture yet however as you watch further you'll come to realize it's such a good watch. I honestly enjoyed the bigger picture rather than the individual stories per episode.I also loved how the characters had a chemistry among them. The unique relationship of the Players and Prosecutor Jang is also something that I admire in this drama.
I recommend this drama specially for those who loves anti-corruption series where the good guys try to fight off the bad guys/politicians. This is a must watch really. I'm glad I took the time to watch this series. I really love it's ending as well.

A beautiful wrap up of the games
I love how this series ended the way it did. Season 2 had much more meaning than the first one. Here, we've got to see more about the other characters and not just the main ones. Their reason for living, what life they had before the games, it's all revealed in here.The longer I watch the series, the better I like it. The chemistry of the characters is also worth-praising. Instead of the brutal deaths, I love how the characters gained depth during this second season. It was very well worth it.
Although I enjoyed the first season a little less, I still recommend watching from the start to see the journey they've been through from the beginning. It's really fun to see them grow and struggle together between life and death.

The game will commence in 3... 2... 1...
The story itself is interesting. I can't help but find myself wanting to see the next episode to see what happens next. I rarely watch Japanese drama but I'm glad that whenever I watch one I am satisfied with the story overall. It's obvious that there's a second season and I'll definitely watch it to see what will happen to the characters.This series very well reminded me of Squid Game where you lose means you die. And I honestly don't like graphic deaths and blood so I usually skip those part but if you like bloody scenes, this one's definitely for you.
Overall, I enjoyed watching this series and I think you will too. There were pretty good twists here and there that will keep you on the edge of your seats so look forward to it.

Typical hospital drama with a supernatural twist
I was excited to watch this drama because the idea of a doctor being possessed by another doctor that is in coma is pretty interesting however I got disappointed at some several points like how late SeungTak became a good doctor himself. He relied too much on the ghost doctor which is a bit off for me. Very little to no touching scenes which I usually look for in hospital dramas where life and death exists. It's a pretty decent story, not just my cup of tea.The actors were pretty good themselves although I feel like Rain overpowers Kim Bum most of the time so I don't feel much bromance between them. Dong Il of course as a veteran actor pulled it off perfectly. One of my favorite Ahjussis in KDrama world.
Overall, I enjoyed the journey of watching this series. It felt a little short in getting me emotionally involved but still it made me laugh a couple of times. Still a recommended watch.

More than just a romance
I really love how the plot was written. It is predictable, simple, sometimes boring but I love how the writer tried to use relatable emotions to make the story a great piece of art. I love how this series captured adulting life, the traumas, relationship with parents, friends and lover, the decisions we make everyday that makes us mature a little each day. I love the portrayal of that through this series.Of course, who wouldn't love the casts? Their chemistry are top-notch. DaMi and WooShik look great together on-cam. I feel butterflies in my stomach whenever they are on a lovey-dovey mode. Matched up with the superb OST songs. It was all perfect.
I really recommend this series if you're someone who's just looking for a light-hearted story with minor tear-jerking scenes. You'll definitely fall in love with this series.
