14. Business Proposal
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
I avoided this drama for the past 2 years thinking it was just another office romance kinda drama..
binged on netflix with my brother
7.5-8.0 rating..my brother gives it 8 and I'm not sure. I thought it was entertaining but it does leave me with a little cringey feeling..but it is a fluffy romance drama without seriousness
-
15. Who Are You: School 2015
Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes
binged over the weekend on netflix (8th - 10th June)
it's not really heavy on romance in fact it could do fine without it, but I do like the second male lead more, the main male lead is kinda basic
started after business proposal but almost finished first
not sure what to rate it but maybe 8 or 7.5 (0.5 off because she didn't end up with tae kwang..) but i didn't get bored (or have time to) and I wanted to watch all the way through

18. Love Me Not
Korean Movie - 2006

I don't know what to rate it..

started watching randomly on netflix on like the 12th March 2024 (put it on hold during episode 2, wasn't really paying attention..)
picked it up again on netflix in july and finished on the 9th July 2024so either lee gak time travelled to her in the end again, or tae yong remembered everything. either way you can imagine whatever you like.
not sure what to rate it yet..
-
22. Marriage Contract
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
started after chocolate. binged it in about 3 days <3
the couple have amazing chemistry despite the age gap <3
this drama does leave me with a kinda cringy feeling, but it's probably because I'm not really a touchy feely person..but it's still really good and they made me happy watching them.
it does just kinda end..hopefully they lived a long life together though
-
23. Warm and Cozy
Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes
could've been only 12-14 episodes. it does have small town romance vibes <3
my rating is between 7.5 and 8
-
24. Silent Love
Japanese Movie - 2024
it wasn't bad. his love for her was clear and it was nice seeing how he treated her. there's more violence then appreciated or expected..it's not very memorable, but it's good enough.
-
25. Go Back Couple
Korean Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
some thoughts while watching this lol:
from ep 5 I watched while I studied to get through it..
Not a huge fan of jang na ra in this so far...started while stuck on ep 13 of fated to love you kdrama
sml doesn't like cats so he's a minus..he fed it afterI kinda ship the ml and ballet girl..I also prefer the ballet girl's character over the female lead..
at this point the ml and ballet girl should get together..
not really into the female lead's character..na moo from come and hug me is the second male lead
by episode 12 I was starting to get into it more but then it ended..
-
26. Bride of the Century
Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
parts of the drama were better than others. my rating is between 7.5 and 8.5..
I don't really like ghost plots and sometimes I even forgot she exists and then was reminded she does...
the female lead (doo rim) wasn't always the most likeable..the male lead had his bad moments but he was probably the best character
they have a kid at the end
-
27. Mask
Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes
I've started various dramas since finishing bride of the century, but haven't finished any one them. this drama is similar in a way to BOTC.
I decided to give it a go despite the mixed reviews.
that stalker brother in law is like a second male lead from 2000s dramas iykwim.. -_-
ML is in goong
first kiss is in end of ep 7
can't find ep 18 full in good quality so I watched that on viki and found 3 parts in good quality on youtube
I kinda liked the loan shark with his yellow shoes. he also acts in king's daughter su baek hyang and he way kinda funny in that too.
watch history:
started randomly on viki: 17th September 2024
continued watching from ep 1 on viki: 24th September 2024from ep 3 I watched on comp, but files off myasiantv are kinda out of sync
finished it: 28th September 2024
upon conclusion it sometimes did feel like the characters we kinda dumb, but I actually binged my way through it all. I don't think it's a terrible drama. would I rewatch? probably not since suk hoon shows up too much for his own good. also in the end it felt like they really took inspiration for his character from the second male lead in save the last dance for me. their backstory is almost identical, but this guy was more controlling, manipulation station.
the main couple have a happy ending and a daughter named min sook <3

30. The King in Love
Korean Drama - 2017, 40 episodes
(before king in love I was watching while you were sleeping till episode 27, but I didn't watch for a week or two and didn't feel like finishing it anymore..)
WATCH HISTORY:
probably started the beginning of at some point on viki but it's a period idol drama (somtime end of 2023)
I know the ending. she ends up with sml
started again from episode 1 on viki: 13th November 2024 (finished in 5 days)
20 eps on viki!since I went in knowing she ends up with san I paid closer attention to them both.
I didn't really care for won and he annoyed me some of the time especially in the last eps and he's a simp and kinda immature but he is a prince i guess... in the last episodes he got better
rin and san = ❤️
probably finished on: 19th november 2024
RANDOM THOUGHTS:
possible male leads for san:
wang rin
song in (just kidding lol)
wang won isn't on the list lol unless they both died...for me won was the sml (pech gehabt ?)
