-
39. Hear Your Heart
Chinese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Watched as currently airing. Finished April 5.
➤ The premise of the plot is interesting. FL has a superpower skill to be able to hear other's thoughts because she can see with one blue eye, which is considered a curse but she uses contact lenses to cover it. She then met ML who turns out has a past history together in an ancient curse. For the unique plot, I gave an extra 0.5 points.
➤ The leading actor is unattractive

➤ Ending: HE
OST: N/A
-
40. Guess Who I Am
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Watched as currently airing. Finished April 4.
➤ Pure romcom, not much of a thriller. The supernatural toned down to it's just a novel the FL wrote. A satire to many tropes writers usually put in a novel/drama, including illogical ones.
➤ Great chemistry between ML and FL.
➤ The second and third couples seem fillers. Why because they're in the opposite teams they also have to be paired with each other?
➤ Ending: HE both in the novel and IRL (ML is the new editor sent to help FL)
OST: Full album (fan audio)
-
41. Burning Flames

Watched as currently airing. Finished April 3.
➤ Reverse trope of xianxia (the heavenly realm is the villains, the demonic realm is the good ones(
➤ Epic fights and battles.
➤ Great visuals. The CGI is bad in the beginning but gets better. Good variety of costumes and makeup.
➤ Ending: the usual HE subjective to the viewer's interpretation. ML goes back to his old hut after looking for FL season to season. He sees a snowman they usually built and the hut door opens. He smiles. I docked 0.5 points for that.
OST: Full album (fan audio)
-
42. Part for Ever
Chinese Drama - 2024, 28 episodes
Watched as currently subbing. Finished April 2
➤ Classic trope: aggressive ML vs doormat FL

-
45. Five Kings of Thieves
Chinese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Watched as currently subbing. Finished March 29.
➤ The plot is thick, but it seems like the solution in the end is rushed, leaving some plotholes. But overall is enjoyable.
➤ ML and FL have great chemistry, their romance is cute, tho not a romance genre.
➤ HE. ML wins over the last villain. FL's fiancee dies. Leaving ML and FL.
OST: ???
-
46. Living no Matsunaga-san
Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Watched as currently subbing. Finished March 27
➤ The plot is predictable and boring. They included the 'love triangle' with an ex-coming back trope, instead of delving more into the lives of other sharehouse members whose roles are more like fillers than supporting characters.
➤ Funny FL but she doesn't match with ML who acts old more like her father/guardian.
➤ My favorite fansubber
OST: ???
-
47. Blondie in an Ancient Time
Thai Drama - 2024, 22 episodes
Watched as currently airing. Finished March 17
➤ The setting is interesting, during Rama V's reign, during which historically he abolished slavery.
➤ Funny FL
➤ The romance is a super slow burn and barely there because ML likes SFL first. Although ML and FL have a good chemistry they're more like friends than lovers.
➤ Ending: FL stays in the past, and gets married to ML. SFL marries SML, who suddenly becomes a good person after his mom dies and his dad goes to jail.
OST:
"You" by Nika Anika
"What?" by Venita
-
48. Doctor Slump
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
Watched as currently airing. Finished March 17

➤ Friendship with lovers with great chemistry
➤ Funny ML
OST: Full album

49. Chicken Nugget
Korean Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
-
50. I Hear Your Voice
Korean Drama - 2013, 18 episodes
Binge-watched. Finished March 14.
➤ Aged like a ripe wine despite it's a 2013 drama.
➤ Thrilling
➤ A different noona romance (no parents or colleagues/friends objections)
➤ Swoon-worthy ML
➤ Funny FL but much prudish
➤ Three-dimensional villain
➤ Great character growth on several characters (ML, FL, SFL, villain). SML although his character is like a saint, somehow seems 2 dimensional (no character growth)
➤ Nice side stories (ML's dad, FL and her mom's backstory, SFL's dad, villain's backstory, ML's friends)
➤ Life messages (also anti-death penalty social message)
➤ Being an 11-year-old drama, the visuals (video quality, costume, makeup, cinematography, etc) are not bothersome. It helps that they wear casual or business clothes (that usually go out of style). Only SFL's costumes and makeup seem outdated because she is stylish with the time period.
➤ HE: The villain surrenders and gets a life sentence, ML and FL are much in love, and ML becomes a police officer.
OST: Full album (playlist)
My favorite OST: Jung Yup "Why Did You Come Now" MV

-
53. Don't Disturb Me Farming
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Watched as currently airing. Finished March 10
➤ The countryside setting is beautiful
➤ Some odd arrangements: a leather couch in the open door, cute city dresses while farming?
➤ The misunderstanding leading to break up made me downgrade this drama because of a cute romance in farmland ruined by the usual stupid tropes.
Ending: HE

61. Bell Ringing
Chinese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Binge-watched, finished March 6
Review https://mydramalist.com/profile/ChouNa/reviews/348149
➤ To pass the NRTA review, they made this modern fantasy drama a folktale.
➤ ML and FL have a beautiful chemistry. ML is full of emotion. FL is cute.
➤ SML and SFL are a cute couple
➤ The cinematography and the set are top-notch. It's like vacationing on a paradise island full of flowers.
➤ Ending: bittersweet. Bitter, cos they only have 7 days to live, and then they die (even though not shown in the drama). Sweet, because at least they grow old together. They got married in its simplest way (the couple's rings, the red costume). Before, he was immortal, waiting to see her to be reincarnated 500 years later. In the end, he becomes mortal as her, so they die together. Nobody lost or mourned the other person. As a bonus, SML and SFL end up together and SML becomes the head of the island.
OST: ???
-
62. Parasites
Chinese Drama - 2024, 17 episodes
Watched as currently airing. Finished March 4
➤ The start is thrilling and intriguing but turns out to be confusing. I didn't like that the leading actress Zhu Jia Qian whom I watched for, only showed up in half of the drama since she was changed to the second leading actress. Practically her character is dead.
➤ The ending is OE for S2. Perhaps because the research is actually successful but ML hid it for his personal gain? Why need S2? Both guys are already in jail (one is really in jail the second one is written he's going to jail to pass NRTA review). FL is dead and SFL is crazy (DID). Unless the third girl finds out that she can revive SFL in the tube or FL is actually not dead.
➤ Too bad it's not longer length cos everything is such a rush. But probably if the length is mainstream length, the drama won't pass censorship because of the human genome project, human trafficking, and DID.
OST: N/A

63. Mae Krua Kon Mai
Thai Drama - 2021, 26 episodes

➤ ML and FL's characters will grow on you.
➤ Park Ji Hoon acts as opposite personality, and pretenses as the other personality.
➤ HE: ML and FL get married. His alter ego evaporates. The main villain and his mother are dead. The shaman continues his journey. The former queen is released with her lover while her father is in jail.

65. Different Princess
Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes
Binged watching. Finished February 23, 2024
➤ Intriguing mystery plot
➤ Funny FL, anti-hero ML
➤ Cute side couples
➤ Ending: OE. FL dies and goes back to real life. She finished her novel which will be adapted into a movie. The PD in the drama is the real PD of the drama, lol. The CEO of the production company is none other than ML. In the novel, ML takes the throne and never remarried. SML is no longer the Crown Prince and lives humbly and peacefully with SFL. TFL dies defending her mother (the Queen) and TML grieves over her death.
OST: Full album

66. My Love in the Countryside
Thai Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Watched as currently subbing. Finished Feb 22
Final review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/ChouNa/reviews/348127
➤ The romance is steadfast from the beginning till the end
➤ The FL is a saint. Funny, pretty, and humble. And she doesn't change with her aspiration although she falls for ML.
➤ The ML although he's handsome and kind, he's a 2-dimensional character imo
➤ The second couple is more intriguing and challenging. The SML is a shady character, and three-dimensional. I wish their romance had more screentime.
➤ The third couple is a filler imo. I don't understand why she gets redeemed, so bitchy and lies about her pregnancy.
➤ ML's mom is despicable. Can't believe she too gets redeemed.
OST: Main Theme "Love Floods in the Field", an upbeat duo by August Vachiravit and Pearwah Nichaphat (who played brother and sister in the drama).

67. Marry My Husband

81. Wonderhatch: Soratobu Ryu no Shima
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Watched as currently subbing. Finished January 24.
➤ The mix between anime and live-action is kinda weird and reduces the enjoyment of the drama. They should've used a lot of CGI for the magical scenes instead of anime, if they want to make it a live-action.
➤ Guphin the blue baby dragon in 3D is so cute.
➤ Ending: Open. Thaim and Akhta went back to the manga world. But the ending scene suggesting S2.
OST: N/A

89. A Good Day to Be a Dog
Korean Drama - 2023, 14 episodes
Watched as currently airing. Finished January 10
➤ Cute fluffy romance in the beginning (until ML and FL get together), darker in the middle (with the villain), boring/annoying towards the end (with the SML and his lover's past story), and a finale filler (Ep 14).
➤ Great chemistry with 2 shy teachers
➤ Cute dogs (tho the CGI scenes of Cacao are obvious)
➤ Cha Eun Woo singing "Like A Child" at the wedding
➤ Catchy opening song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgAY_aU8r3U A
➤ Although HE a disappointing ending, about how the screenwriter treats the villain who tormented FL's family for generations and ML. There is no punishment or apology, the villain lives happily in the end.

92. Death's Game Part 2
Korean Drama - 2024, 4 episodes
January 5.
➤ Part 2 gives the meaning of Part 1, how suicide affects people around you. The beloved ones left behind (Mom and girlfriend); even strangers as seen in the 10th life (the homeless who saw the tribute for the detective, how strangers are affected by the detective's death) and the 11th Life (the office worker who killed himself jaywalking in Ep 1). The office worker affected Choi Yi Jae's life because he didn't get his dream job, and also Park Tae Woo's life as he started to find pleasure in killing people.
➤ Because Part 2 gives meaning of Part 1, I bumped up the rating of Part 1.
➤ The mission of this drama is suicide prevention.
➤ Great acting, makeup (Mom's from young to old), cinematography, CGI (Death's lair and other action scenes).
OST:
"It's a Lie" by Sondia
"Even If There is No Miracle" by Seo In Guk => my favorite

93. I Know I Love You
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

➤ A LOT of annoying characters (SML, FL's parents, SML's parents, The girl who likes SML, male friend)
➤ The ending is so-so
➤ Great OST (English with jazz vibe from Brownie Band)
OST: full album

94. Derailment
Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes
Watched as currently airing. Finished January 2.
The making video.
➤ The plot is complicated and confusing, and the time travel/parallel world is intriguing. It was fun to make theories and read others' theories in the comment section.
➤ The hairdressing and makeup arcs are boring, purely for building up FL's character to pass NRTA censorship (betterment of Chinese citizens).
➤ Strong FL despite hard circumstances. Superb acting of Liu Hao Cun despite it's her first debut in dramas.
➤ ML is a meanie in the beginning that turns watchers off. It's explained about his bad background later but if that flashback is introduced earlier, watchers would have more sympathy for him.
➤ The scene in which FL jumps into the water is deleted (after the school reunion and before ML and FL make a written agreement). But it's very crucial with the turnaround of their relationship from hate to cordial (NRTA censorship against time traveling by suicide)
➤ OSTs are to die for
OST
My favorite: Ending theme "Only One" by Rainie Yang"For U" by Baby J (Du Zhi Wen)
