![Law School]()
1. Law School
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
- Honestly, I didn't really find the plot to be all that interesting but I loved, LOVED the characters. Likable characters with good chemistry are much more important than whatever is going on with the plot, at least in this case.
- Really fun to binge-watch.
- Fell in love with both Kim Beom & Ryu Hyeyoung here. Romcom when???

![Bo Ra! Deborah]()
2. Bo Ra! Deborah
Korean Drama - 2023, 14 episodes
- I found this drama to be pretty entertaining, and I actually looked forward to watching it each week.
- The two main leads CARRIED this show. Their chemistry was impeccable.
- Loved the OST.
- The humor, for the most part, was spot-on.
- Unfortunately, I couldn't score it any higher than this because I genuinely found all the other characters to be quite unlikeable and annoying. I didn't care about the other relationships at all lol.
- I also can't believe that comment about Auschwitz made it into the script :( That was unnecessary on so many levels.
-
![One Day Off]()
3. One Day Off
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
- God, this drama was so healing and relaxing to watch!
- I wish I could do something like this every weekend. Wish we had better public transportation and/or trains where I lived.
-
![Tale of the Nine-Tailed]()
4. Tale of the Nine-Tailed
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
- This drama was a lot more unhinged than I was expecting it to be lol. I don't think enough people talk about weird it is but okay.
- It was pretty slow but still entertaining. Wasn't really a big fan of the romance but they had their moments.
- The only reason why I watched this was for Lee Dongwook. I'd say it was worth it.
-
![Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938]()
5. Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
- So, so much better than the first season. It's probably better because they didn't focus on romance.
- The acting seemed a lot better, the plot was more interesting, and the writing definitely improved. I loved the chemistry between the three mountain gods. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little emotional there towards the end.
- I think the setting also helped to improve the drama. The world-building felt more interesting and concrete here.
- Lee Dongwook, the man that you are...
- Looking forward to the third season!!!
-
![The Good Bad Mother]()
6. The Good Bad Mother
Korean Drama - 2023, 14 episodes
- The main couple was so cute wtf.
- Made me cry multiple times.
- The gentler, more slice-of-life sister to Beyond Evil.
-
![Bloodhounds]()
7. Bloodhounds
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
- Loved the bromance and the two main leads. The action scenes were fun to watch.
- Aside from these things, I found the writing to be kind of meh. We were introduced to a lot of great side characters and villains but I wish they were utilized more.
-
![Lies Hidden in My Garden]()
8. Lies Hidden in My Garden
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
- The two lead actresses were great.
- Story was kind of slow but nice creepy atmosphere.
- Would watch again.
-
![Revenant]()
9. Revenant
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
- Damn, this was good.
- Kim Taeri's acting was phenomenal.
- Loved the slight romance (?) that was going on because it wasn't too over-bearing and didn't take away from the plot.
-
![D.P. Season 2]()
10. D.P. Season 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
- Was just as good as the first season, both never failed to make me cry.
-
![See You in My 19th Life]()
11. See You in My 19th Life
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
- This had a strong beginning and an interesting concept. I think it just lost its steam somewhere around the half-way point, which was when I started to lose interest in this. Took me a while to finish.
- The main couple was very cute; I wasn't a huge fan of the second couple.
- OST and cinematography were great.
-

14. Not Others
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

-
![A Business Proposal]()
21. A Business Proposal
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
- Was really cute and funny in the first half, but it started to lose its charm halfway through.
- I might be in the minority here but I did not vibe with the secondary couple at all. I liked the characters and their acting was fine but as a couple, I didn't find them very compelling.
- Overall this drama was pretty enjoyable and makes for an easy weekend binge watch, which is how I watched this.
-
![Sweet Home Season 2]()
22. Sweet Home Season 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
- Was missing some kind of aspect or spark that the first season had. Not an enjoyable watch in the slightest. I will tune in for the third season regardless, I'm too invested.
-
![Vigilante]()
23. Vigilante
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
- I had low expectations for this but I was pleasantly surprised.
- Everyone's acting was on point and I loved the story line.
- Not long enough. Great action scenes and I liked how everything was fast-paced and straight to the point but the ML could have been developed more.
-
![Designated Survivor: 60 Days]()
24. Designated Survivor: 60 Days
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

-

-
![Evilive]()
26. Evilive
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
