Definitely an upgrade from Season 1
This the second season of Busted and it was really a great upgrade from the first season. The story is still connected from the first season but it's independent on it's own. There's a new plot line to watch for. The episodes are really upgraded from the previous season and it can still wrack your mind because when you're about to make your guess and be confident about it you will never be too sure until it revealed what's true.Changes on the cast didn't affect much in terms of the excitement. The new characters were as good as the previous cast that left. The guests are still high end like the previous season and keeps you from wanting more. The comedy is still there but the mystery will keep you on your toes as the plot twists are unpredictable.
I'm already waiting for the third season. Full season from Season 1 is highly recommended.

Not Every Game Needs a Loud Ending — And That’s Okay
Squid Game 3 might not hit with the same explosive impact as its first season, but it lands exactly where it needs to. While some viewers expected more twists or a grander finale, I personally found the ending just right — bittersweet, tragic, and reflective. It stays honest to the story’s core: a man who refused to lose himself in a system designed to break people.The emotional weight might feel lighter this time around — maybe because by now we know the rules, or maybe the writing didn’t push quite as far — but the quiet symbolism stuck with me. Watching the main character stay true to his principles, even when he couldn't change the system, was deeply moving. It felt like the ultimate act of resistance. I couldn't help but see the game master as a mirror — someone who once stood for something, but let the system twist him into something else.
That said, I still feel Squid Game told its strongest story in Season 1. It had the rawness, the shock, and the emotional pull that didn’t need a follow-up. Seasons 2 and 3 had their moments, but nothing quite matched that original impact. Still, I respect how it closed—with conviction, not convenience.

Heartwarming movie amidst a natural disaster
'Ashfall' is a movie that portrays a disaster caused by Mt. PaekTu's eruption which greatly affects both South and North Korea. It's pretty similar with those tsunami or earthquake movies wherein of course there's a disaster and there will be someone who will save the day. The plot is pretty much the same to others. What stands out here is the set of cast and the small details inserted on the plot.First of all, the casts were incredible in their roles. I actually enjoyed seeing a bromance in the movie and it made some scenes lighter than compared to the issue they're actually facing. I also love that Lee JoonPyeong and Choi InChang's character had deeper emotional involvement about the eruption. A little downside on some scenes that are hard to believe like how they try to steal from North Korea and on how the hell they were able to enter a mine despite the eruptions.
Overall, I liked this movie because there are also side stories that were involved and not just all about the eruption. This will keep you on the edge of your seats and will surely make you cry in the end.

The Great Film
I’ve been eyeing The Great Flood since the trailer dropped, and thankfully, it did not disappoint. The cast delivered solid performances and the plot felt fresh and intriguing. It can be a bit confusing at first, like you’re missing a piece of the puzzle, but once it clicks, everything suddenly makes sense and that realization is so satisfying.What I really appreciated is how every detail actually matters. This is the kind of movie that rewards paying attention because you can clearly see how everything fits together in the end. Add to that the outstanding CGI and strong sci-fi execution, and you get a K-film that truly delivers. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy stories that make your brain work a little before giving you that “ahhh, okay” moment.

Garden and plot that never bloomed...
Lies Hidden in My Garden had all the elements I usually love: mystery, tension, psychological thrill but somehow, I just didn't love this. It’s short yet felt like such a slow burn that never really caught fire.I got excited once, thinking things would finally pick up but nope. It ended up more like watching grass grow in that garden. Aesthetically and tonally, it’s intriguing, but narratively, it’s a letdown.
If you’re looking for a psychological thriller that keeps your heart racing this one might not be it.

When Law Meets Heart
Good Partner was unexpectedly refreshing. It’s been a while since I watched a law drama, and I really loved how this one wasn’t too heavy. It’s heartwarming yet realistic, showing different sides of divorce: some bitter, some empowering, and others just complicated. It reminded me that divorce, like life, isn’t black and white. It’s very much a grey area.Seeing Jang NaRa and Nam JiHyun again was such a treat, both total queens and complete badasses in their own way. I also appreciate that romance wasn’t the focus here, it’s more like a small sprinkle that adds flavor without overpowering the main story. There’s even a hint of light makjang energy that made things even more entertaining.
Overall, Good Partner surprised me in the best way. Despite touching on crime and legal themes, it still felt comforting and human. It also pushed me to explore more genres outside my comfort zone because who knew legal dramas could be this warm and full of heart? 💼✨

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.

When the Second Lead Finally Got the Girl (in Another Universe)
She Was Pretty is another one of those nostalgic comfort dramas that somehow feels both familiar and brand new at the same time. Watching it again was like reuniting with an old friend with same laughs, same warmth, but with fresh eyes.The second lead syndrome here? Absolutely real. Although in Kill Me, Heal Me, I really rooted so hard for Hwang Jung Eum and Park Seo Joon to end up together and this drama feels like a parallel world where my wish came true.
The story itself is your classic rom-com setup, a bit predictable, sure, but undeniably fun and feel-good. Choi Siwon completely stole the scenes for me. His chaotic, prankster energy added so much humor that I couldn’t stop laughing.
It may not be groundbreaking, but it’s light, refreshing, and comforting, the kind of drama you reach for when you just want something that makes you smile without thinking too hard.
📌 Watch this if you’re craving a straightforward, heartwarming rom-com with familiar faces, contagious laughter, and a happy “what if” ending for your second-lead heart.

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.
