We Watch Challenge 2024

This is slightly harder for me as I've long given hope that I will enjoy romance but I will give it a shot.

It made my laugh our loud. It is the typical rich ML and poor FL with a contract marriage and hidden identity. It was definitely worth the watch with interesting characters. I loved the second couple as well.

It is a hit or miss with this one. Personally I'm more neutral and sometimes seems the romance isn't their and there is no little sexual connection. But we all loved the sassy best friend.

It was excellent acting with you really hating some, feel sorry for others. It was a classic case of love triangles, marriage convenience. It did get a little dark

This for me was informative about relationships for different age pairs so someone im sure will be relatable and take some life lessons from it. It is quite mature though 

Would love for recommendations to be from my plan to watch only as it is almost as long as my competed so need to shrink it a little.

Hello, autumn iris! I was confused on what should I recommend you, so I added some of my fav and some from your plan to watch

-Click on the title to reach the page (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Better Days

I wasn't sure what to recommend you so I decided the one from your PTW but I need to warn you that it's a tearjeaker.

• Better Days: My top favourite movie. ✓    
• My Annoying Brother: Since it was available on your PTW. 
• I Told Sunset about You: Since it was available on your PTW. 
• Two Lights: Relumino: Since it was available on your PTW.

I am open to all recommends. Prefer BL or any type of movies. Dramas are okay but not more than 10 episodes.

Don't worry, just recommend me. I am sure that one of your recommend is in my PTW so absolutely don't go there („• ֊ •„)੭

I accept autumn iris's recommendation of  Till We Meet Again

I accept ElBee’s recommendation to watch "Be Melodramatic." Honestly, I don’t think I’d have given it a shot without the nudge.

Hi, Anne613!

I had to think a while to recall some romances that have happy endings without too much sadness making them bittersweet. Here are a few I can recommend based on what you’ve enjoyed so far:

Twinkling Watermelon is a rare case where I think a show is well worth the hype (and man there is a lot of hype for it)-some initial hype was because of the young actors, but the story is what made it sustain the high praise. It has an interesting combination of music and deaf characters as main focal points, but the character dynamics are fun, tender, sweet, and sometimes overly familiar/real in a way that is quite authentic to teenhood of the main era we see them in. I think you’ll enjoy it. It is high energy and was either the first or last thing I watched in a given day when it aired (first because I couldn’t wait, last because I wanted it to be what I fell asleep after seeing!) The bromance is even stronger (and gave me fun secondhand embarrassment that made me turn red while laughing) than the romance, but the romance is really endearing the whole way through.

Thirty But Seventeen is a story where first love leads to trauma but returns to bring healing… the romance is a slower burn here as the FL has been in a coma for 13 years and goes back to the house she lived in before (so cohabitation is part of it, too) where the one living in it is a traumatized man who thought she was gone from this world after he told her what bus stop to get off at and blamed himself for her particular death on that bus. That should be enough description to let you know if it is your kind of story. Bromance is pretty cute in it, too.

After reading your message, I am going to offer these two that fit your descriptions (didn’t want to just use your PTW): 

Be Melodramatic 

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

Bits of charming quirkiness, character-driven, emotional, romance... they fit the bill and are very unique in their own lasting ways. Hopefully one of them works! 

Ready for recs! Anything up to ~20 hours works, my only firm exception/non-option dubbing (so no historical cdramas). Please ignore my PTW and just tap the score button on my lengthy completed list (and country if you are only recommending from one or two places) to sort by rating see what I rated very high and very low and obviously check if I’m already watching it (not all eps get updated as regularly so even if it says 0 seen, I’ve started it, just been distracted from updating things not on air). Weird=wonderful for me so long as the writing and acting can pull me in! I could use something a little (or very) bizarre and funny or you can always entice me with a thriller!

I accept jenn’s recommendation for Kill Bok Soon!

Thoughts/rating: This was a fun ride! Jeon Do Yeon has yet to disappoint me! It was on my watchlist from the time she was cast (and my notes said “bonus Lee Jae Wook cameo” which made choosing it easy-and what a sweet cameo-except wait, who’s that girl calling ahjussi?! lol).  It feels really hard to rate, but I gave it an 8.5-I would’ve liked it as a miniseries more just to get more story development for the daughter in particular, and more cases would’ve been welcome, especially a flashback, perhaps, to her very early start beyond the first encounter… I could definitely enjoy another 10 hours of it! I wish it hadn’t rushed quite so much (in terms of the story not having enough time to development-the fast action with the slow downs and them reading each other was fantastic!), but that is pretty common for films. Thanks for getting it off my PTW list! :)

Hi jenn!

I recommend you to watch Under the Skin! It's one of my faves and the chemi between the leads is really good. I didn't see it on your list but just in case I missed it you can let me know and I'll pick something else!

If not that then a light one would be My Sweet Mobster. :)
