me too. I guess we'd better make requests.

the hater has created bots to upvote the bad reviews. That explains the numbers.

Today every month sees the amount of new kdramas that used to be produced in a year. It's clear that you have to be able to pick and discard. Personally I can see in 5 or 10 minutes whether a kdrama is for me or not.

Disney kdramas are hardly kdramas at all, totally agree.

It's MDL that's crappy. People always say they're in a drama slump and that there's nothing to watch. And then watch garbage like Serenpidity's Embrace as if there was nothing else in the kdramaworld to watch. Just a minuscule amount of effort will land me a great new or old drama, easily, always. (I've finished 600). If in a slump there are always shorter dramas and KBS drama specials which are very worthwhile, the scripts have been picked through competition. I can watch also great c-dramas (To The Wonder or Three-Body for example) but I could never ever watch western dramas again.

A very good psychological thriller so far. I'm hoping that there won't be too many twists and turns. Some but not too many. Too many wears me out.

2024 has been a fantastic year for kdramas. Several 10/10 dramas: Like Flowers in the Sand. Represents all the qualities which make people fall in love with kdramas. Begins Youth. Very beautiful and very sad. After crying buckets you soul is truly cleansed. Bittersweet Hell. Queen of Tears. Lovely Runner. It says everything about the writer of this post that there's a gif of f**** Taylor Swift. OMFG.

A peacefully paced sci fi drama about acceptance of death. There's not too much explaining, it's rather an invitation for the viewer to reflect on the themes. I really liked the openness. Although the events are shocking, the narration is not dramatic. We get to observe the designed afterworld program along with the ML. Great acting by Shin Ha Kyun and Han Ji Min (my fave role of hers so far along with Our Blues; she really isn't made for comedy but for bigger challenges like this). The cinematography is awesome. Highly recommended 8.5/10.

A very promising start

I'd recommend Salon de Nabi for romance(s) that give butterflies. or King in Love

lukewarm romance, below mediocre drama. don't really understand why this was even made. Not a single sparkle of originality. 7/10

This is a really written drama. It's also sympathetic and not boring for a minute despite the lenght. The found family trope never fails. It's satisfactory that the bad guys get their punishment and even more satisfactory that there's forgiveness and character growth in the end. All the characters are multidimensional, we get to know and like them despite their flaws and weaknesses.

I agree, she's sleepwalking through this role. I liked both her and Song Kang in Love Alarm though. The thing here in MDL is that's obviously not okay to criticize FLs without the gender warfare warriors shooting arrows at you.

the parents were always together in My Unfamiliar Family. I think My Unfamiliar Family is a way better family drama, serious and realistic but warm-hearted.

This could easily have been 16 episodes (I never thought I'd say this bc most 16 ep dramas have lots of filler moments). Jo Aram did very well. Jung Moon Sung was good in the villain role, he portrayed none of the usual boring villain antics.

I also dropped Numbers in ep 3 because it was very dry. This is much better.
