Upcoming 2024 Dramas and Movies I'm Excited For
Will be adding more as I find interesting titles. Suggestions of upcoming Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Thai, Japanese dramas and movies are welcome!
Also adding some titles from Dec '23 that continue into 2024 or will be available fully by 2024.
-
1. The Invisible Guest
Chinese Movie - 2023
Dec 8
* I liked that it's not an exact replica of the original. The essence is the same but with changes to how the situation arises with the same conclusion. Enjoyable movie.
-
2. Find Yourself
Thai Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Dec 18
Positives: less episodes than original. Less time apart between main couple. Brother is less of a hypocrite. Negatives: 2ML is more annoying as is the 2FL. Chemistry between MC is less evident and not as enjoyable. ML is more immature than the original.

6. My Happy Ending
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Dec 30
* Good story and suspense. Was hoping for a redemption arc. End was unnecessarily drawn out.
-
7. Shining for One Thing: The Movie
Chinese Movie - 2023
Dec 30
* As a standalone movie, it is all right. I enjoyed it more after recapping the drama. Especially the bonus scene.
-
8. Marry My Husband
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
Jan 1
* slower build up compared to Perfect Marriage Revenge although ep 9 and 10 were the best as the revenge finally started. Slowed again and then picked up in the last 3 episodes. Conclusion was satisfying just felt like everything was way too complicated.
-
9. Love Song for Illusion
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
Jan 2nd
*Interesting first 2 episodes. ML is supposed to have DID but they created a fantasy element where others can be pulled into the world created by the personalities which was a bit much. End was all right. If only it was executed a bit better and stuck to a historical fiction.

22. Flex X Cop
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
Jan 26th
* FL is annoying but hopefully that will be sorted soon. ML is great. Looking forward to him doing well as well as being humbled beyond the first 2 episodes. Good series with different cases in each episode. Slightly predictable towards the end but makes for a fun watch and not very heavy.
-
23. Badland Hunters
Korean Movie - 2024
Jan 26
-
24. Doctor Slump
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
Jan 27
* Might be the first slice of life series that I will be enjoying right off the bat. I like the humour and the realism. Good chemistry between the leads in first 2 episodes. Loving the friendship between the leads. Good topic - depression and PTSD. Plus I love the element of suspense so far. Strong series in the 6 episodes. Green flag ML and a wonderful ending. Every episode was worth the watch.

Jan 30 - PTW
-
26. Queen of Divorce
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Jan 31st

-
28. A Killer Paradox
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Feb 9
* Good series, good pacing, but male lead POV disappears mid series with focus on other characters. Unnecessary female nudity in ep 1. Could have been better overall but good for a first watch.

* I enjoyed watching for the most part. ML was an unreal exaggerated character. FL's character was more realistic despite being unlikeable. A cliched ending which was disappointing. Good acting by the cast. OST was nice too.

52. City Hunter

Slightly off-putting in the beginning due to the perverted nature of the main character. Action scenes are enjoyable. Story isn't bad. Mainly scored it for the many fight scenes and fast pace.
