Growing Season (2020) - I just discovered a clip in facebook about this drama and I got curious. I watched this drama on youtube and it's pretty short so I finished rather early that what is usual. I am quite surprised that it talks about mature concepts compare to what playlist global offers before. There are parts that I understand especially with the three main characters story that is shown. I like the flow and all, and of course the three female leads.

Though I find them awkward in acting, most of them are fairly new to my eyes, I think they are not as much well known as I haven't seen them much on the korean drama scene/world. Still I tolerated the awkward acting, it's fine in the long run.

I would recommend this as a past time drama with a mature concept.

XX (2020) - this drama is so satisfying to watch. One of the dramas that at first it's not appealing nor engaging for me as a watcher, but as it goes it really has a nice story to tell.

I like that the story revolves around friendship which is the main appeal of the drama. There is romance into it but I think the friendship between the female leads carried the whole drama. The drama talks about friendship that was strained which I like a lot since it's not much seen on korean dramas.

I love the female leads. The actresses really did great in their respective roles as well. They are both beautiful, hilarious, really great.

It's short but satisfying to watch. I would recommend it for sure.

Love Alarm Season 2 (2021) - I'm not a fan of season 1, and I remember myself bashing the first season so eventually I don't have much expectations with watching this season.

I think this season is lacking? in a way that they finished it too fast, but the first episodes are slow-paced.

I like melodrama genre in korean dramas, but this one shows how that type of drama works but it was not fully developed since it is suppose to be a romance drama basing on the first season. The vibe with season 2 is totally different with season 1 that it came out to me as not a continuation but rather a really different drama. I was rooting for Hye-Yeong all the way, even in season 1 but no justification for me as watcher in the love story part between him and Jojo, I was frustrated. Maybe I should have read the original story.

Hello, Me! (2021) - if this drama was released before, like 2014-2016 era, I think it would have been a big hit.

I think the watchers nowadays have different types in looking for korean dramas, and this drama seems like it was left behind. There are plot holes, but also lessons to be learned from the 17 year old Hani and the 37 year old Hani.

I was not sold out with the romance part/love story part. The fun parts is funny and the friendship and family part is well played, I cried but on the romance I just didn't feel anything. Overall I did finish the drama, I just felt down that it was not a big hit.

Scripting Your Destiny (2021) - Love. Love is the gift from deities for those who are brave (ep1).

This is one is quite an intriguing drama for me. I find it nice but since it's only a webdrama and it's short, it offers something different comparing to other web dramas. I think it is a bit mature and I like that it is short. I have my confusing moments alongside the drama but at the same time I understand that it has the genre fantasy which is sometimes all that is happening in the drama is unexplainable.

I also know some or most of the characters as I have seen them in other dramas, this time around they are the main leads so quite new to my eyes.

I’m happy I get to encounter this web drama. Good watch.

At A Distance, Spring is Green (2021) - I guess pain became my friend. I coped with it for too long. So leaving it behind felt like I was parting myself from the past. - Joon.

Since I haven't read the webtoon, I didn't have anything to compare. Having seen In Hyuk here and in My Roommate is a Gumiho both watching them at the same time, I was really amazed with his acting skills. He is good. His characters in both dramas is so different and he manages to pull it off.

Park Ji Hoon having his own main lead role, it was kind of awkward for me to watch him acting but I did see his improvement. I really like the story of this drama, more of like slice of life genre and also I like that the friendship is emphasized between
two different personalities. I just think that the role of Min Ah as So Bin was not really emphasize and it's regretful.

100% Era (2021) - I love the kids part in the drama, they are sooooooooo cute.

Then the teenager era came and my interest just drop. My interest in the drama was lost, I don't know what keeps me going, I think just for the sake of finishing it since it's a pretty short drama.

The ending is quite blurr for me since I can't understand the lesson that it wants to impart - is it on the mother's relationship or in their romantic relationship.

The sad part in the ending is that the guy was nowhere to be seen.

Nevertheless (2021) - I have read the webtoon version of this drama way before I finished the drama and I could say is that the drama sucks. I mean they should have followed the flow with the manhwa if it is an adaptation. I just felt frustrated with it.

It's a realistic drama for sure but it's too toxic, and I hated the leads so much. If they did follow the webtoon I would have like the drama better and it may have save the drama in its totality.

The actors were just okayish for me as watcher. I'm of course in love with the second male lead again, pretty normal for a korean drama watcher like me.

Squid Game (2021) - lucky to watch it beforehand, where I was not seeing spoilers on the social media.

This is usually my type of dramas and I could really compare it to 365: Repeat The Year which is also a korean drama but at the same time it has it's own originality.

The scenes where pretty harsh for me as watcher, I was not ready and it came as a shock. It comes off as like a japanese drama or movie storyline that is why I would say it has that different feeling into it compared to what I usually encounter in korean dramas.

Actors in the drama are veteran, all are great. One of the best line up korean dramas have done in a while.

Dae Jang Geum/Jewel in the Palace (2003) - this is by far the earliest released drama that I watched on my list. Released date of this was last 2003, so that would be 20 years from now. Wow. This drama for me has all the elements of a historical drama that I would likely want to watch.

Focuses on the cooking aspect, but at the same time gives highlight to the medicinal aspect of food which is really great to see in a korean drama.

I also like the decision of Jang Geum in the end. One of the dramas that I felt happy to see who the lead end up with. Classic drama, worth the 54 episodes of my time. Recommended drama still.

Café Midnight 2 (2021) - I just continued watching this season from the previous season since I find the first season confusing but this season didn't really answered my confusion from the first season. I just thought that they would reveal the answers from questions unanswered in the previous season but nah.

Of course, I find the acting aspect of the actors and actress in the drama awkward but this time around I understood how the story revolved and I like this much better than the first season.

Work Later, Drink Now (2021) - it may not be as appealing as the first parts of the drama but as it goes on I really like how they portrayed the friendship of the three female lead characters. It’s comedic but also emotional in the aspect that throughout the drama a lot has happened but the pacing and the how the story unfolded is not dragging at all. The male leads may not have the spotlight but it's fine with me since the three female leads carried the drama. A second season is much appreciated and waiting for it soon.

The One and Only (2021) - – I kept seeing cut videos of this drama on tiktok especially Joy’s part, so I got a little curious. After seeing the drama, I cried a lot while watching the drama. I think the reason why I stop watching the drama near the end parts is because I got tired of crying. One thing that I would complain in the drama is the murder case part, it's so chaotic. The romance, slice of life and melodrama part of the series is really good for me. Since the story revolves around life and death, I felt overwhelmed with the lines the characters are saying. This drama is for those who wants to cry.

You Raise Me Up (2021) - This drama was not really popular and not mainstreamed and I understand that. The genre being in focus on the mature audiences related to sex, it came off as not watchable to all audiences and also those who are wary with this type of genre in Korean dramas. Still I am happy with how the drama turned out but it's not really something new.

For me, this drama is one of those dramas that I could watch to just have a finished drama and to let the time pass. The actors did well, and the leads are not new in my eyes as I have seen their other works.

Nothing to Lose/ Judge vs Judge (2017) - I like the drama to what it can offer but I think it's not as extravagant as to other legal dramas. This time around the judges stance is what is seen and the main highlight which is new for me as a korean drama watcher since most korean dramas focuses on either lawyers or prosecutors and are usually the main leads. The story is engaging for me, slow pacing with thrill. There is some sort of wanting to see what's gonna happen and what are the revelations. I am quite surprise with the plot twist, it's painful but I can understand. I also didn't feel the second male lead syndrome which is unusual since I always have that when watching korean dramas. I fully support the main leads in this drama. I would recommend this to those who like legal dramas.
