DRAMAS in 2023

Start Date: 12-01-23 → Finish Date: 12-22-23 

WHAT A CUTE AND ADORABLE DRAMA!!!!!! this was a sweet youth drama with sweet and very endearing characters... the progress of the main couple was nice to watch and there were no unnecessary break-up post high school!!

Start Date: 12-17-23 → Finish Date: 12-20-23 

i went in knowing very little about this besides the fact it's adapted from a classic manga. so i was able to enjoy the quick ride!

Start Date: 12-14-23 → Finish Date: 12-14-23 

what a ride!! while the first 2 rebirth were a big meh the rest got much more interesting! and i'm side-eyeing them wanting us to believe that kim kanghoon & yoo insoo are the same age............... either cast them in KKH age or YIS age, with the way they went it was like watching an adult bullying and abusing a kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the 3rd ep was my fav followed by the 4th one.

I mainly picked this up for Hyeonsoo, and it was an interesting watch about bystanders! wish it was a bit longer where they fleshed our mains more in depth.

this drama had ton of potential, a story about a coda child going back in time to his parents teenage days before they even got together.  and him witnessing the hardships his parents got through... but so much time was wasted in silly unnecessary things, the love triangle went on forever, cheongah didn't get the screentime that she deserved, the bandmates got more than her which is a crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it should've been all about yichan x cheongah coming together!! loved every minute we spent with cheongah, she was a ray of sunshine and deserved all good things!!!

Start Date: 10-16-23 → Finish Date: 11-14-23 

i think i would've enjoyed this more if i was in the right mood when i watched it! it had an interesting plot and a good cast.

Start Date: 11-03-23 → Finish Date: 11-09-23 

unexpectedly became a fav of mine!!! i was very skeptical of it before starting it but i ended up loving it! such a heartwarming healing drama.. it can be triggering for some viewers as it discuss some mental illness. park boyoung in a slice of life drama is a dream come true!!! she was such a delight to watch her journey as she overcome her depression and going through it all! and yeonwoo had an adorkable role and very supporting person!!! and the visual metaphors to the patients illness was truly something, an impressive cgi work!!

Start Date: 10-30-23 → Finish Date: 11-06-23 

a good quick crime, thriller drama! good cast which got me interest. the characters became dumb at some point in the 2nd half, but regained their brains very asap. i was content with the ending. it would've been more interesting have they explored jaehyo more and gave him stronger motivation behind his crime.

Start Date: 10-28-23 → Finish Date: 11-04-23 

Knowing the mind behind the original manga this was adapted from, i knew there would be many twists and turns left and right!! it could be fun if one in the mood for it. and it feels a low budget drama!

Start Date: 09-16-23 → Finish Date: 10-23-23 

the disappointment i felt while watching this in unimaginable and this has nothing to do with the recasting of half the main but more to do with the sloppy writing........... i liked the first few eps and though it'll get better only for it to crash.......... so many inconsistencies, wasted some characters potential all for the sake of having the invincible hero and get him to the point they want him to achieved!!!!!!!!!!!! things that were written that doesn't make sense considering the first season............ and the biggest hurdle being the  8 TIME-JUMP!!!! with that jump some characters had a major characters development that happened off screen while the rest just weren't developed or much like were an afterthought and they didn't know what or how to write them anymore............... and didn't like tanya that much this season i found her to be cold, extra cold and extremely grounded with only one thing on her mind the whole season......

Start Date: 08-10-23 → Finish Date: 09-20-23 

this might be my favorite drama of the year so far, i enjoyed watching those episodes and never felt the time passing while watching them!! esp the older cast stories they were very very compelling!!!!!!!!!!! i'm thankful that this was written by the same webtoon writer who knew his stories and characters quiet well!!!!!!!!!! just a smooth ride from start to finish!!!

Start Date: 07-31-23 → Finish Date: 09-19-23 

i wasn't crazy about this drama, the idea of a person being able to hear lies was fun, but our lead girly hated liars yet she lied a lot???!!?? and how in her whole life never thought that all liars are bad?? and honestly wished we had a different male lead actor with a stronger presence than HMH........... SJH was a delight for me as always!!

Start Date: 08-12-23 → Finish Date: 09-16-23 

a drama about women in workplace. while not groundbreaking i think it was compelling enough to watch all those ladies going through their life and what they had to sacrifice to be able to work! the last episode was bad though and i hated it!!

Start Date: 07-30-23 → Finish Date: 09-03-23 

the letdown this season has been.... it was so repetitive, i got tired seeing the counters getting their asses kicked one episode after another... i liked the side stories with both hana's first love they were cute and brought a new side of hana which we don't always get to see... and it was nice to see her have someone from her past and not from the counter circle... she deserves some normalcy in her life!!!, and maeok story with her first saved person.. i love her caring side he became like an adapted son to her.... the rest was just mehhhh.. and lets be clear ma jiseok is the love life of somun, he was the only thing he thought about for most of the season........

Start Date: 08-27-23 → Finish Date: 09-02-23 

you give me two of my fav actors in the same drama as leads I'll absolutely be in... but but but.... the writing was weak and that was tragic... the lead carried this on their shoulders... i adored them and what we could've had with them had this not be a murder mystery... i ate all of their flashbacks as they were cute and adorable, and their touching moments post him becoming a ghost... ?? sigh....

Start Date: 08-20-23 → Finish Date: 08-25-23 

**RE-WATCH** the insanity continue only for the story to stop where it should begin??.. but at least it'll be coming back even though there will be changes to the cast and a time jump but i'm ready for whatever may come and put my trust in those writers!! anyway saya i'm on your side and curious to see how the two will meet their reaction and everything about the twins!!!! and tanya as the high priestess who is loved by her people, and the demise of tagon...

Start Date: 08-13-23 → Finish Date: 05-19-23 

**RE-WATCH** this part was CRAZY!! SAYA you insane psycho who wrecked so much havoc to achieve his goals!!!!!!!!!! i love that psycho and will stan him even if he mass murder everyone ????.. and on the other hand eunseom broke my heart with how they broke him, but it's good that he was able to pick himself again despite all that he went through!!

Start Date: 08-06-23 → Finish Date: 08-12-23 

**RE-WATCH**.. i rewatched this one to prepare myself for the upcoming season, i thought i remembered lots of it turns out i was mistaken ?... the first part was filled with hard to watch scenes, the slavery, the start of building this world was slow with lots of informations to digest... eunseom and saya little interactions we got were cute, tagon needs to die already he's such a hypocrite.............. eunsom doing his best and still losing break my heart............and the ending with the revealing of saya was just as excited as i remember it...

Start Date: 06-19-23 → Finish Date: 08-05-23 

i though i would like this much more but sadly i didn't, it started somehow cute yet it was so generic i just watch it to let time pass..... sometimes i feel i'm over this genre all together and the problom lies within me ??.........

Start Date: 07-17-23 → Finish Date: 07-30-23 

this drama ATE!! such an intriguing plot and it got my attention from the first few minutes.. and it was good actually it got better with each new episode!!! the writing is very solid and kim taeri is insane here, the switch between sanyoung and the evil spirit ???............ a favorite for sure!!

Start Date: 05-30-23 → Finish Date: 07-19-23 

it could've been much more fun but it fell flat somewhere... i didn't care much about any of the characters and it was just an okay drama with good actors in it......

Start Date: 06-19-23 → Finish Date: 07-11-23 

an almost perfect short drama. very gripping and compelling... watching those women liberating  themselves from the cycle of abuse they're under were so satisfying to watch!! and the cinematgoraphy in this one was so beautiful, every shot was an art for sure!!!

Start Date: 04-26-23 → Finish Date: 06-08-23 

I loved loved loved watching this one... it was good fun and heartwarming watch... though i don't agree with the mother method but i couldn't hate her... one need a box of tissue while watching, because when it hits it hits right??????... and the acting from all were top-notch..... a favorite for sure!!

Start Date: 05-12-23 → Finish Date: 05-13-23 

despite this being flawed but i was able to enjoy the ride for the most part, the lead was compelling and i cared for them.. the acting was great as expected....... the bad guy and esom though were a waste of time.. also it needed to be edited better with the starting point being the first rebellion and how/why it failed then into the 2nd try...

Start Date: 05-01-23 → Finish Date: 05-02-23 

i thought the first half bad turned out it was a masterpiece comparing to it 2nd half.................. this was one of the worst this year dramas!!!! and the ending was just dumb dumb DUMB!

Start Date: 04-28-23 → Finish Date: 04-30-23 

the premise of this was promising, that could be a fun ride with these kids... but NOPE the kids were obnoxious, annoying and lack the charisma and that killed this before it started...............

Start Date: 02-16-23 → Finish Date: 03-24-23 

started out funny and entertaining with our lead being a fish out of out water and how he adjusted to the real world all that was nicely done... yet it failed in the 2nd half of the drama, the villain was cartoon-y to and dull even the twist was a big MEH!!!.... a shame what this has turned to..................

Start Date: 02-25-23 → Finish Date: 03-11-23 

SUCH A WASTE OF SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND CAST!! this left a lot to be desired........ though eunwoo was sexy at the priest here... his character could've easily be the lead ....

Start Date: 02-28-23 → Finish Date: 03-02-23 

short jdrama that had cute moments here and there... the lead became a loser at some point and it's a good of thing that he was aware of it........

Start Date: 01-19-23 → Finish Date: 02-23-23 

where do i start? this was a drama that went downhill quickly... i just couldn't care about neither leads.. and the open ending?? just a waste of time...

Start Date: 01-12-23 → Finish Date: 02-10-23

this season was as good as fun as the first season mainly because the 2fl&2ml sucked so much... the cinematography of this was nice though...

Start Date: 02-01-23 → Finish Date: 02-06-23

MEH! only if the most of the eps followed the first episode style, that episode was quite unique and interesting weird setup and plot...

Start Date: 01-10-23 → Finish Date: 02-01-23

the BEST drama of '23 so far!! so intriguing and compelling.. waiting for the renewal news! and please more keisuke & diago less of diago's wife and daughter as they only attracts weirdness and the creeps...

Start Date: 01-11-23 → Finish Date: 01-30-23

very heartwarming family drama, and that's what was i in for, the FAMILY! the romance was the weakest part for me.. He Zi Qiu deserves the world!!!

Start Date: 12-31-22 → Finish Date: 01-14-23

i was expecting more action, creepy, thriller and cult-related stuff, yet they only scratched the surface with the first part... hoping in the next part we will have more backgrounds and plots about the mains.. fleshing them more..

Start Date: 12-10-22 → Finish Date: 01-13-23

fun, entertaining stories about these 3 besties as they go on in their life, though s1 still rules and had a better ending and pace!

Start Date: 12-02-22 → Finish Date: 01-06-23

a slow heartache farewell! the acting was top-notch as expected from both seokkyu and seohyung.
