Done & Dusted: Dramas Completed in 2026

A quiet, patient love story built on emotional honesty, clear communication, and two leads who heal and grow together without drama. 

My Shine on Me Review.

I had my doubts at first : the story didn’t quite match the strength of the acting and cinematography. But that ending changed everything. Now, I’m fully on board for Part Two of Made in Korea.

This drama redefines motherhood as something earned through showing up, staying present, and choosing a child again and again, even when the world makes it difficult.

I loved how imperfect they all were.

Yonder is a thought-provoking but unsettling mini-series set in 2032. It explores a service that creates a digital afterlife from only your happy memories, allowing reunions with the departed.

While it's a compelling look at grief, the concept made me uncomfortable. The idea of a perfect, static world of memories feels more like torment than peace. Its strength is in questioning this: are fragile, real memories more precious than perfect, artificial ones?

Visually stunning and well-paced, it’s a quick, philosophically heavy binge that stays with you.

My Yonder Review

Strong performances, beautiful cinematography, and an interesting concept, slightly held back by uneven emotional execution.

My Can This Love Be Translated Review.

The acting felt off at first, and it took me quite a while to adjust to the awkwardness and the extremely snail-paced romance. Once I got past that, the drama became enjoyable, though I found the second couple far more interesting than the main one. The story itself was decent, but the OST was hands down my favorite part of the drama. Overall, it’s a cute portrayal of two very introverted adults slowly falling in love after an arranged marriage.

Built on trust and emotional connection, this drama works best when it focuses on its characters and the quiet bond between the leads. The contrast between fame and personal pain is handled with care, and I appreciated the mature way conflicts were resolved. Unfortunately, the mystery side is much weaker...key plot turns feel convenient, and the investigation lacks depth, which makes the final stretch underwhelming. A decent, gentle watch, but not very memorable, especially for a mystery-thriller.

Uneven execution, meaningful stories and a lead whose growth made it worth sticking with.

The Irony that I loved

A masterpiece! I enjoyed every bit of it. Super relatable and heart warming at the same time. It was nice seeing normal struggles being acted out and unspoken feelings being expressed in such a detailed manner.

It was a satisfying tit for tat, but SLOW! The twists were hit or miss, as some strategies were easy to predict, and some I didn't see coming ; but when they did, it totally blew me away!

I honestly watched this for the amazing chemistry the leads had in their previous drama The Rise of Ning but the rest of the theme like political and family drama was predictable. The acting was great though!

My Teach You a Lesson Review

Such a fun show highly recommend!

For the most part of the drama was predictable with the various separate cases that add up to take down the main villains. The ending however thrilling it was I also found it frustrating for it felt like our leads are back to square one. It's nice and realistic to see they're stuck in a loop I guess since they were fighting against a human trafficking syndicate but I can't help but feel annoyed about the time invested in watching this.

The ML Yearned, FL Hesitated while I...Yawned

It's not perfect, but it managed to create awareness (the reserve fund thing actually happens in real life too, lol) and stay funny. Loved the comedy, the craziness, the found family trope, and on top of that, they all had great chemistry!!

Am I the only one who wanted an entire spin-off for the Weapon & Poison specialists?!

It was cute but had major editing issues.
