2024 Watchlist (dramas)
↬⪼ Chronological Order
↬⪼ Overall thoughts in a nutshell (or my rants lol (>o<)

1. Moment at Eighteen
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
The Stories of highschool kids dealing with their daily life adversities
The very first Kdrama I finished !
Despite being very very slow paced and having a very boring ML, the other characters made it worth the watch!
Being around the age of the characters, I could relate to some of their situations, which worked as a driving force for me to watch it.
★What I liked the most about this drama is - it shows multiple characters' stories instead of focusing on the main leads only.

2. Falling into Your Smile
Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes
Chaotic Group dynamics? I'm in!
My first Chinese drama! I'm not really interested in E-sports but the hilarious team kept pulling me to watch it!! The ML fell for the FL a little too quickly tho (given his character, I was expecting a slow'er' burn romance ( —_—)
One day I'll probably go and watch the parts I skipped,, 'cause who knows what I missed out, unlike now, I didn’t have FOMO back then :/

3. Twenty Five Twenty One
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
"I always think only about what I’ve lost. But you think about what you can gain. I want to be like you”
A beautiful and heartfelt portrayal of the tale of five individuals' meeting, living both the shiny and rusty moments of youth, fighting obstacles, breaking down and getting back up with renewed spirit!! Besides them, the coach was also amazing!
Now I wanna be like Ji Seungwan so bad!!!
A very Memorable watch! ˚˖?ִ໋❀

4. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
The Classic Gem ⋆.˚⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧
I devoured this drama! It's so silly and sad at the same time. It has the most iconic bondings everrr! The whole team (Goblin, Goblin's Bride, Grim Reaper, Sunny, Doekhwa) was awesome, first they made me laugh out loud, then cry a river!! I kinda have memorized it better than my text books lol!!
Oh yes, I have decided to ignore the illogical ending because you know, love is blind!! ( ꈍ◡ꈍ)
Goblin x Grim Reaper ➙ THE BEST DUO!!

5. Twinkling Watermelon
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Let your life twinkle to the fullest 'cause this is how good Youth feels!! ✨
Hands down one of the BEST dramas I've watched this year! I had very high expectations for it, and it surprisingly exceeded my expectations!
This drama is SO ARTISTIC n YOUTHFUL!! The Band and their two MUSEs were the heart of this drama! My roman empire!!
This drama gives you the feeling of eating cold watermelon on a hot summer day, smelling the sweet scent of flowers on a spring day, getting your body and soul drenched in the drizzle on a rainy day!
It also shows the significance of healthy family bonding and deals with serious issues like domestic violence, bullying, trauma, and overcoming them with the strength & warmth that can be provided by friends, families and of course- yourself!
The only thing that I didn’t like is - our main cp got together before knowing each other’s true identities!! :( It bugged me big time!
Viva la vida!˚˖?ִ໋❀

6. True Beauty
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Highschool Romcom!
I thoroughly enjoyed this drama from ep 2, (the first one was a little cringe), it contains high school cliché tropes including love triangle, mean SFL, bla bla bla..and serious problems concerning adolescents, such as bullying, PTSD, suicide, etc.
The romance became cheesy after the leads got together and some supporting characters who served the comic purpose were really cringeyyy. But minus those, everything was okay!
And the SML - Han Seojun is one of the coolest character ever! (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭
✰# I AM STRICTLY AGAINST THE "Seojun x Jukyung" ship!! Because "Suho x Jukyung" was the perfect match! And most importantly, OUR HAN SEOJUN DESERVES A BETTER GIRL! ᕙ( ᗒᗣᗕ )ᕗ

7. Extraordinary You
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
Exciting & Amusing start, then got messed up (>﹏<)
Our female lead Eun Danoh is just a minor character in a comic book with riches but a short lifespan, and unfortunately -- she has to endure all the cliché lovey-dovey acts of the main characters because her role is playing the love-bridge for them! Oh no! But Danoh is still hopeful, to live the life for herself with her really funny friends when there’s no "stage" focusing only on the main characters ! Then she meets, befriends, and falls for a mysterious boy, and questions about their existence start to arise...
That's where the story starts getting messed up and repetitive (,,>﹏<,,) I was really enjoying it untill things became a mess!

18. The Judge from Hell
Korean Drama - 2024, 14 episodes
Serve the Justice!
Justitia was Awesome!! She's bossy, sassy, savage, slightly (a lot actually) unhinged, ruthless, badass judge giving the convicts "more than a good beating" that they deserve!
But did they really have to make her lose 60% of her charm just because she fell in love?!! I'm crying... why did you change her like this!!
Besides that, as a fantasy thriller, this drama was really good! The punches and all the beating Justitita threw at those scumbags were soooooooo freaking SATISFYING!!
