My 10/10's

Inseparable Bros: Beautiful film that I will probably watch over and over again for 2021. When the movie came out in 2019, I really wanted to watch it because of the other Running Man members praising and teasing Kwang Soo about how good it was. Finally found good subs so my 2021 started off pretty good. 

A Tale of Thousand Stars: Was waiting for this series for a year and it was sooo good! I will probably re-watch the series again since I was on the edge of my seat every Friday waiting for the new episode. But now its over!!  ?

Lovely Writer: I loved it. The plot was new, the conflict was fresh, the conclusion was a bit rushed but worked. It was a nice change from other BL's so it really kept me anticipating the next episode. 

Move to Heaven: This drama really sent me on an emotional rollercoaster. It was a beautiful plot that kinda resembles My Annoying Brother and Keys to the Heart (both I hold dearly in my heart)
