Drama reviews with link & summary

This might have been cute when it was released, but I'm so over stone-face ML who only likes FL bc the plot says so. The plot got really repetitive after the first half. They were so cute in the last episode though, why couldn't they give us more of that?

Slow-paced with medium payoff and a dissatisfying ending, this drama  finallymade me appreciate Lee Dong Wok as an actor.. Sadly, I lacked the patience as many things were just too obvious and I really hated the storytelling.

A nice BL that shines especially in giving characters a proper background story and character growth in a short amount of screentime. No skinship. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/423442

Visually stunning, no brain needed (in fact, it is advised to leave it turned off or don't bring it in the first place, cliché but make it fantasy. So overrated.

Started off well, got even better, then suddenly turned into the exact thing it wanted to criticise. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/443292

Talk about leaving potential untouched, this series was great at it. With an idea that had me hooked, characterisations and storytelling were poor, the acting just good enough to convey the romance but not the deeper layers of the plot I came for.

Yet again another drama where I realize I don't care for pretty and nice if there's no substance to beautify to begin with. FL was great here and it had its exciting moments (as well as few plotholes) but that's about it. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/496162

The intriguing mystery and great magic turned out quite underwhelming. The whole movie lacked consistency and a clear concept in execution. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/504892

A visually stunning mystery case with not much mystery and a lot of family drama made this a short but satisfying watch. I liked many of the characters, despite the lack of insight. Don't skip the intro.

Review:  https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/436220

Heartwrenching until the end with an intriguing plot, loads of mysteries and characters you don't dare root for. OST is very good, too. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/500096

Liked the characters and their dynamics and wasn't able to guess the culprit from the start. Nice attention to detail. Rest was mid.

It wasn't bad, but didn't catch me. Not a cute romance story, which was something different at least. I've had my fair share of red flags already though. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/431890

A hot mess. If red is your favourite colour, go for it. The plot had holes on end but somehow still ended up being very detail-oriented in other regards. The OST was well-chosen.

https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/428114

A tropey mess that decided to leave its potential untouched for a deep dive into fanservice.

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/450208

One of my first C-dramas. Wouldn't rewatch, as the romance sucked, but the e-sports part was so thrilling and the teams and their dynamics were outstanding. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/418416

I already loved Go Ahead, but this fixed some of the issues I had with the original. A lot of healthy decisions that one day hopefully won't seem too utopic for us. This was a really good remake. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/427902

I'm very ambivalent about this one. Great concept but lacked execution for me. It was just so inconsistent in almost every aspect.

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/423430

Cliché ridden, ableist, messy plot with too many unfinished plot lines and a ton of convenient coincidences. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/515386 

Short and watchable. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/426508

I never knew looking at food and landscapes for two hours could feel so relaxing and comforting. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/452506

It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought.
The plot elements actually were coherent and didn't have holes in themselves, almost every episode had something funny to it and the chemistry certainly was there.

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/471714

I liked the issues it touched and the messages it tried to convey. The pace was very slow, hence I commited the crime of watching it sped up. 

https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/reviews/423454

Stellar pacing and a great focus on the main plot. Cute kids, good music and a likeable ML provide a steady and solid yet very predictable watching experience.

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/510952

One of the best short stories I watched so far and the only one I wish was a proper series. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/430104

I disliked all characters. The plot was barely existent. Facial expressions were barely existent. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/484604

You're hot then you're cold, you're yes then you're no...what a ride. One I didn't enjoy, sadly. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/427460

From On Hold

 A nice grown-up story about relationships, work life and books. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/424412

Sit back, ignore the plot and enjoy. This treats disabilities considerably well (not even near perfect, though), the chemistry was there, the relationship developed in a steady pace. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/422768

Heartwarming sibling relationship, easy to watch with a very likeable ML.

This was such a vibe ✨ Wen Yifan's experiences resonated a lot with me. The drama had so many issues, but the atmosphere was great and I still like listening to the OST. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/455588

Not even Stephen Zhang could save the car crash that was this show. It was a vertical drama dressed as a full-length one.

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/478610

Initial setting was promising, execution was disappointing (even for a vertical drama)

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/503436

No expectations, just watched it weekly as a brain-off romance with a satisfying resolution (to me at least). 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/448546

You want to hear me rant, you ask me about this drama. Faulty application of statistics, wrong depiction of scientific deduction, a whole lot of unhealthy relationships. Very slow-paced with repetition. 

(rantfree) Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/439288

An emotional and fun ride that couldn't use its full potential for the sake of predictability.

They took the typical western crime series-formula and gave it a nice twist. Good acting, nice developing friendship, several different cases and a nicely wrapped-up finale. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/445678

It was cute, but a bit too long and got sooo trope-y towards the end. Also, of course the kid was only acting as  a bait and wingman and it barely had any depth to it. The couples were cute, but had nothing more than friendship chemistry. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/416938

A short high school teenage drama with a nice message but bad acting. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/449352

A standard action-watch, pretty cruel, but gripping. A bit too violent and trope-y for my taste.

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/434192

I don't even see potential for improvement. It was full of fillers, onedimensional characters and lacking plot. It had its moment, but that couldn't make up for the time I wasted watching the rest. You can't make a balloon if you just blow hard enough, you have to fill it with actual gas rather than thin air. 

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/484472

Grown men playing high school boys just doesn't work for me, and here it really didn't fit the plot.

Review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/Invisible_Soul/review/427602

A rather average RomCom about cooking lacking food, romance and comedy.
