I think I have watched an episode of this before but forgot about it until I just bumped into it and realized I have read some few chapters of this in manga and read the first episode back then. I think it does not have a proper english subtitiles before that is why I have not watched the next episodes.

The story itself is not new to me since I have an idea of it before having read the manga. This drama really shows how Japan made their dramas, and showing their culture especially when it comes to dating and romance. This drama if you are not prepared is really weird at first because of how they presented it but I like how they portrayed the story overall. It's pretty fast paced.

The main leads chemistry is top notch. The male lead is the greenest green flag and the female lead's character development is really good as well. I really like the female lead, I think she is so beautiful.

I also like the friendship aspect that is seen in the drama. I cried.

Spring Waltz (2006) - I love you so~~~ Love is a beautiful one~~~ hahahahaha. If you find singing to this song again, yeah right it is this drama.

Among all the season series (Winter Sonata, Summer Scent and Autumn in My Heart), this is the only drama that I finished watching so I don't really know about the other dramas in this series. It's a slow paced drama with a lot of throwbacks. I also find the drama frustrating at times, since they could have finished this earlier I think they are vital moments for a touching story that was formed. I cried alongside this drama because most of the scenes are sad.

The OST is great especially the piano pieces - it adds an aura of melo in the drama.

This drama is a cute drama for me overall. At first it has the romantic comedy genre, but with the hint of suspense thriller into it. I like thriller dramas and I like romantic comedy as well but I think this drama is a decent one. I am not into it as much as I would want, maybe because I watched this one ongoing with other big dramas like Moving that the impact of this drama seems lesser.

The actors in the drama are also familiar faces. I have seen them in other dramas, and they are good here, not the best acting but I like it. It's a fine drama with somehow a cliche ending. I would still recommend this one.

My Roommate is a Gumiho (2021) - Fox: “He couldn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t fall in love with her.” I really like this part of the drama related to the quotes and all regarding how a person can fall in love with someone. I felt the romance right there. I think that part of the drama is mesmerizing.

I like the overall drama but I can't seem to feel the chemistry between the main leads, I don't know why. I like the other couple much more because for me they are much fun to watch. I did read the webtoon and in fairness they followed the story just that there was a wrong character. tsk.

Café Midnight (2020) - I don't really know most of the cast in the drama, and in that sense I don't think they are really good in acting. I think they just started acting because I find them awkward on the screen.


The drama is confusing, I didn't fully understand what it is all about, but as it goes episode by episode, I understand it but it takes time.

It's not something that I would recommend to anybody. Since it is just a short drama, I think it was not delivered successfully to the audience. It's just an okay drama for, not really amazing nor need to be talked about with friends.

100 Days My Prince (2018) - this korean drama is one of historical dramas that I wasn’t so attached with. Maybe because it’s a light drama, and romance is the main part of the story. It was unusual for me to watch a korean historical drama that is romantic comedy since most historical dramas I have watched are either comedic at first but eventually led to melodrama which I like. Both main leads did a really great job in their respective roles, but I’m not a fan D.O being a prince nor a king. Maybe because of his height? I don’t know, basically this drama is fun to watch especially if it's for binge watching since there is not so much struggle with the whole storyline.

Backstreet Rookie (2020) - what made me watched the drama is because of the controversies surrounding it. I did really like it at first but quite disappointed at the same time since it is another romantic comedy genre acted by Ji Chang Wook. I did like this one better than Melting Me Softly, but originality aspect still goes to MMS. What I did like most in the drama is the family part, I did cry in those parts. The leads does not really have a chemistry for me as romance partners. The vibes that this drama gives is that of a typical romantic comedy with over the top acting. The secondary couple are hilarious and I like the part where they put inputs about the drama "The Fiery Priest, I laughed. I'm hoping for a Ji Chang Wook drama that is on melodramatic, which I think suits him better.

Avengers Social Club (2017) - what keep me running away from the drama is the title. But what keeps me closer to the drama is because of Lee Yo Won as I am a fan of her ever since Pure Love Days, and I really like her as an actress. One of the dramas that I find other people who had watch the same because it was not that hyped in my circle but truly happy seeing reviews to how much they really like the drama. I super, duper like this. Dealing with revenge with ahjumma styles, is really fun. What makes it more engaging is that they are not 20+ age characters but ahjummas already, having their own share of experiences in life, and seeing their own struggles makes me want to embrace them and root for them all the more. The three ahjummas are so different especially in their background stories but having that formed friendship nevertheless, it was fun and inspiring. I do like the character development of each of the characters and there are surely lessons learned from this drama. A lot of the issues have been tackled which may seem dark in other dramas but they tackle it in a way that you will still feel the issues but engaging fun and comedic aura that balances. Definitely worth watching.

One of the best dramas that came out in 2022. I just watch this drama this year 2023 since I waited for the drama to be completed and it came out to be a good thing since I watch it without interruption of waiting a week for the next episode. It was intense and captivating. The drama did really well in portraying the emotions, and I could clearly see it. The transition of the drama is really good to me as well, I did not find it boring. The drama just revolved around the palace and politics which is the usual in historical dramas but this one did good in script and of course the female lead really carried the show. The young actors though needs more acting workshops since the older leads did well and I can't help but compare. Overall worth my time and highly recommended especially those that like historical themed dramas.

The story at the get go is interesting to me with a hint of comedy, it was fun up until the cheating part of the drama. I just didn't like how the author justified their love story with ruining the second female lead like that, because even if that's what happened I can't justify their romance. I was so bothered by it. The past era/scenes was fine with me but I guess I was not that convinced with it. The last part of the story felt rushed and no more excitement as it goes on. The actors were great for me as watcher, the side characters are fun and also given the spotlight. I was really into the spells theme in the first part but was really bored in the long run. I would recommend this one but I won't rewatch for sure.

True Beauty (2020) - maybe because the drama was so hyped I read the webtoon before watching the drama. I enjoyed the webtoon, typical school life but then the characters eventually grown up into adults and I was hoping to see the same in the drama up until I can't seem to see the progress in the drama. I was waiting for the part characters to grow up and have the mature roles just like in the webtoon but about the mid episodes in the whole drama they are still on the young era or the school era which I cannot relate and so I stopped watching it.

It was so long before I finished watching the whole drama since I take it forgranted or I just put it on hold since my interest in the drama really shoot down, and I didn't really find the story interesting at all since it was different than the the webtoon. I did finish watching the drama, I did find it regretful since they really didn't follow the webtoon version.
