About me:

Memories of the Alhambra was my first k-drama. By now I've watched more than 700 k-dramas. Edit: 2025 was the year when k-dramas started to go seriously downhill. Best k-dramas were the noir crime dramas.

In 2024, I found some absolutely amazing C-dramas which have now turned me into watching mainly C-dramas. These are: To The Wonder, Meet Yourself, Escape From the Trilateral Slopes. 

2025: The Embers!!!! I've never been this invested in a drama and I've seen a few!!

My ratings:

• 9-9.5 fantastic, gem, but not perfect
• 8.5 really good and a recommendation to watch
• 8  enjoyable, but only for one-time watching
• 7-7.5 still worthwhile, but I was less engaged
• 4-6 dramas that I struggled to finish or dropped.

Go Jun (in Save Me, one of the very best k-dramas) 

I love watching Behind the scenes and Making of clips. Ok Taecyeon fighting ghost in Bring It On Ghost

I really like: KBS drama specials. They're like small indie films, often. With k-drama qualities but more free and experimental than box office hit movies.  

Bye!

Epilogue:  I mainly do not to like k-pop at all. But I like ATEEZ (and the World EPs to be precise) ! I also like BewhY.
