another good death game show, but as someone who's already had her fill of the genre with squid game, it's not a must watch for me. (though looking at how SG turned out, i'd much rather recommend this show instead!) chishiya is honestly kind of annoying idk his face pissed me off

a lot more fun than season 1! gets more crazy and insane than before and the ending leaves an impression and most importantly sticks the landing. i'm a chishiya fan now chishiya for the win

guessing game, the k-drama. honestly trying to figure out who big mouse is had me loose braincells every week but i'd be lying if it wasn't what kept you watching. has a cool prison setting and LJS looking fine as hell and will very much entertain one way or another, but my heart breaks for the ladies in this show because they deserved BETTER

netflix's first attempt at the k-hero genre, after disney+ already set a(n impossible to reach) standard with moving. definitely watchable, but they didn't get it right quite yet. junho charms his way through some fun action setpieces but i found the overall narrative & character work to be quite dull

a fun peek into seoul's crazy, scandalous influencer culture with a dash of murder mystery. quite engaging and worth the watch for park gyu young alone. but imo the male lead couldn't match her aura

putting this in here because of the disaster aspect! this was my first medical drama and i don't regret it. in the midst of my "i can never watch another show ever again after vincenzo" phase, it got me hooked and i binged it in a few days. this show was basically that one RDTK3 arc with the collapsed building but for 20 episodes

a bit of a bummer. generally a fun watch, keeps you interested and will have at least one actor you fancy. but the message completely missed the mark and is incredibly dangerous. maybe let's not perpetuate victim blaming concerning suicide

so much fun! crime comedies with great ensemble casts and top tier chemistry between leads are somewhat like crack to me and this was a feast. highly highly recommend if you have lots of fun with this genre and want a well-rounded & enjoyable show!

cannot wait for yisoo and kanghyun in s2 ← aged like milk :(

just a pretty solid crime thriller. as so often and as per my not so humble opinion any crime drama is inherently more awesome and cool if there's a sexy little romance thrown in but i fear the writer and me weren't on the same wavelength. i mean! scruffy neighborhood gangster childhood friend who's willing to kill and hide bodies for you in your joint pursuit to secure illegal riches... we could've had it all!

amazing thriller drama about quarantine situations we're all too familiar with (minus the murder). nice spin on the zombie genre but not for those who expect the usual k-zombie type of excitement, as it's much calmer and more focused on human relationships. saebom and yihyun are ride or die!!

i just love watching the story and all the intricacies of its mystery unfold, the romance is really only the cherry on top. and boy is it good. some people watching this now may say it's cheesy or dated or somewhat lacking, i say this is a masterpiece and a timeless classic! alexa play Eternal Love

a demon hunter, a priest and a chaebol get into a car... kinda fun actually! not super into the lore, but i love the characters here, who despite the serious story can get so goofy and silly sometimes (looking at johan)

i didn't hate it overall because i grew oddly invested in the cast, but yeah it definitely fell off. i cannot believe they really killed [redacted] !!! the writer is a coward and a loser.

this drama walked so vincenzo could run!! it might not be as iconic but honestly has everything i could ask for; sexy lawyers, gangsters, quirky humor, revenge, action, all the good stuff. i do remember the story getting a bit thin towards the end but it was overall so damn enjoyable still

*wiping the tears from my face* sorry, i cried too much, i can't see the keyboard

lifechanging fictional experience. go watch this and stick with it even if it's not what it seems at first glance - it's all the better exactly because of that. a masterpiece & an indesputable feat of emotional writing. kang full is a storyteller for the ages

love how unconventional this was - a melo romance & a whodunit-mystery all the same. the leads will have one hell of a "how i met your dad/mom" story to tell their kids one day. there are definitely some lows but the highs are HIGH and i was invested all the way til the end. yeo jin goo once again ends up in a small town full of suspicious people. if i had a nickel?

don't know what else to say about this that i haven't already said in my faves list but please watch this. if there's one 'superhero' show or one ott drama or one thriller/action drama to pick from all existing ones... pick this one. this show has 145326 baeksangs in my heart

nothing to write home about, but a really neat little crime mystery + romance drama if you need something quick and simple to get you out of a slump. also a hidden gem if you like lee jun hyuk, the guy has rizz no matter how terrible his haircut

this drama makes me sad because the pivot it made midway into its run was really something.. disappointing. starts off so full of wit and levity and then without warning adheres to typical tropes which! is fine on paper!!! but it wasn't what this show was being advertised as in the beginning, and in the long run it fails to balance out its 2.5 episode long (arduous) detour into a completely different show. like island, the characters ended up carrying the show for me

not super memorable to me personally, but i am familiar with the japanese original so i was v curious as to how they'd execute this in a binge format. actually quite good, has some great characters and hits the emotional notes!

more mellow & heartwarming than your usual procedural, which might've been the reason i couldn't sink my teeth into the plot like i usually can with these types of shows since i very much watch them for their energetic vibe, but the leads were so endearing they made tuning in every week well worth it.

i'm halfway through only but this is fantastic, the premise alone is genius. what if one day you wake up after a suicide attempt with no memories of yourself but a diary which indicates you're a meticulous serial killer? and youre just some guy but now you gotta live up to that? chefs kiss

man... not a very smart (actually very very stupid) decision to go off-path with the ending and not stick to the novel. rating it very low sadly because albeit the fantastic performances by SJK, LSM and co. it wasn't my vibe and genre and the ending just sealed the deal for me

for the most part, a worthwhile thriller with social commentary. i didn't connect with it much, but it was a decent show. in retrospect, the spectacle of it all had people forget what this was really about - capitalism that pits the lower classes against each other. i don't think it really needed that continuation.

with the novelty already having worn off, and characters that are less memorable, there wasn't much distracting me from the fact that it's all just buildup for s3. not terrible, but mostly a downgrade. at least we had gong yoo going bonkers insane?

it's pretty sad how much the show fell off. if you loved s1, do yourself a favor and don't watch the 2nd and 3rd part, there's not much to miss. but the mishaps are many: from character assassination, unresolved arcs, useless plotlines, nonsensical writing and an ending so bad it could've been a parody -  this one's got it all.

atmospheric psychological thriller about the horrors of the human mind and in extension, the horrors of existing among others. great negative character development + im siwan at the best of his game! this drama also nails the unsettling, deeply uncomfortable feel akin to stories such as junji ito's

sbs has a knack for making zany, gripping cider dramas, and they do it so well it always has me coming back. an intense take on vigilante justice in a world where the law fails people again and again, executed by a fantastic team of misfit characters and a male lead who i would dub the kdrama-terminator (i love you kim do ki)

my surprise of the year!!! me & sageuk don't usually get along but somehow i inhaled this drama like air, court intrigues and all. though here, the complicated web of who-is-how-involved in the palace's dark secrets and alleged curses lends itself to the drama well as it essentially functions as an investigative mystery, but in joseon. just a very riveting watch with great worldbuilding, camerawork, ost & and has one of the best ML/FL dynamics i've seen in a while. gucheon and saenggang are so insane they literally took turns sacrificing themselves for each other. HIGH ROMANCE! a rare W for netflix.

i grew up on u.s. procedurals so i admit i am a sucker for a well executed one. a little copaganda as a treat okay. but also this was worth it not just because it's a really good crime fighting drama but also because you get the teamwork with the fire dept. + the characters have a lot of charm!

i did NOT expect them to fridge [redacted] like that it's almost funny like wow the writer had some serious balls ??? he wasn't a favorite so i wasn't all that affected by it but damn. rip to [redacted] fans i guess. personally i liked the new guy a lot better! anyways another banger season and my ship is endgame so i'm happy

haven't lost my mind this much over a drama in years. enemies-to-lovers freaks where you at??? i'm not talking about some mild annoyances-to-lovers stuff no this is the REAL fucking deal. an absolute nutjob of a female lead punishing murderers eye for an eye? a detective who's on her tail & falls for her at the same time? her falling even harder for him and in turn developing the heart of a human - the greatest sin a demon could commit. all this neatly wrapped up in a biting commentary on the justice system? jesus christ. i mean lucifer. i mean stop everything you're doing and watch this now!!!

(very upset @ the ott fumble here because if this aired on netflix i know in my very heart it would've done absolute numbers internationally. but alas. i encourage piracy and kang bitna would too so you should watch this even if disney+ won't let you)

quite captivating and interesting but again not very memorable? its the gritty-netflix-drama syndrome i think.. nevertheless, still worth it for gong yoo and bae doona and the lowkey among us plot

worst drama maybe ever? nothing redeemable about it, it's not even the so-bad-it's-good kind, it's just bad. a snoozefest. so awful and bland that it's genuinely sad. be warned, don't waste your time with it. if you liked this then i am absolutely side-eyeing you lol

to me there's nothing quite like a well executed multi-genre drama! this had everything i love, great leads and supporting cast, great plot, unhinged villain and a nicely balanced genre repertoire. and of course, you just know the drama will be a banger if it's about a guy trying to get gold bars out of a building.

another very unconventional show and i was sooo pleasantly surprised by this! it didn't knock me off my chair but it was such a solid drama. i mean!!! show about man stuck in phone!!! kdrama will really take the most insane premise, make it work, make you cry, and then laugh at you in the face for ever doubting it

absolutely fantastic blockbuster/action storytelling with great cast, pacing and ~vibes~ aka the most important aspect in a genre like this. cha dal geon is the embodiment of the unstoppable force and i love him to bits. just a shame it's all incomplete :(

YES I'M STILL PRAYING FOR A S2 (CRYING)

what if we were a brutal criminal with a high body count and an eccentric morally grey lawyer and we'd team up to commit arson and pull elaborate schemes against dirty capitalists and also we're soulmates? no one's ever gonna do it like VCY, sorry to those who will try

feels funny putting this show here in the list and yet perfectly apt. murder? corruption? psychopathic villains? surely. but this is also the most unserious show ever. as a comedy in PJB's trilogy it has the leeway to get as satirical and stupid as it wants, however at the same time this show never once backs down from being just as dark a crime drama as it can get, too. it's quite hard to sort it into a box and i love it so much for this reason. and to say it should've been either way darker or lighter in tone, is to simply approach it wrong.

starts off really good but lost me a bit in the later episodes. wasn't a fan of the ml but it was worth watching for the fl and her special ability! also kim jae wook don't forget kim jae wook 

k-media is chock-full of highschool bullying & fighting narratives, but this ended up being so much more - a tragic exploration of the fragility of youth (and the fragility of my mental and emotional state). watch this if you never wanna be okay again. in shambles and crying and on the floor etc etc
