-
3. Our Secret Diary
Japanese Movie - 2023
status: completed
- was compelled to watch it through a tiktok

-
4. 3 Nen A Gumi: Ima kara Mina-san wa, Hitojichi Desu
Japanese Drama - 2019, 10 episodes

-
5. Taxi Driver
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
status: completed

- was a good show, personally not a favorite but definitely a solid one
-
6. Queen of Tears
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
status: completed
- imo deserved the hype
- the ml's character pissed a lot of people off but i think it shows the complexity of two people in a relationship and things from their pov
-
7. The Atypical Family
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
status: completed
- had a really compelling start to the show but story felt a bit weak towards the end
- pushed through to the end purely for the side romance between the kids
-
8. The Princess Royal
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
status: completed
- story was definitely weak towards the end and the writing with the 2nd ml was very confusing
- overall i enjoyed my time watching it hence the high rating + i rlly like zlh and zjm, their acting, as well as their chemistry
- on rewatch though the fact that zlh was dubbed threw me off
-
9. The Princess Royal Special
Chinese Special - 2024, 1 episode
status: completed
- was not a good special imo, didn't serve domestic bliss and some of the actions felt contradictory to their characters
-
10. Someday or One Day
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 13 episodes
status: completed
- if you've watched 'a time called you', you have to watch this to see that the problem wasn't the storyline
- story, music, and acting a 10/10
-
11. Love Is Sweet
Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes
status: completed
- watched it for bl and lyx
- story was average but the ml fl relationship towards the end enticed me to finish it

-

- *personally* thought the ml was a bit obsessive at times but still good nonetheless -
14. Love Next Door
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

15. Hierarchy
