3. A Killer Paradox
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
○ 2024/03/12 (March 12th, 2024)
Started off strong, but it got worse and worse. Ending was super shitty and if I'm being honest here, very forgettable characters. Sure, the acting was nice, but everything else was so bad.

4. Chaser Game W: Power Harassment Joshi wa Watashi no Moto Kano
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
○ 2024/03/14 (March 14th, 2024)
First GL that I finished! Both Yuuka and Yurika were such great actresses, and their chemistry was apparent too. If I had to nitpick one thing, it would be the weird ending. I hope there's a season 2 so that it can clarify the loose ends.But OMG! This show is so worth a watch.

6. One Piece
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
○ 2024/03/17 (March 17th, 2024)
Obviously the anime is superior, but this is a nice introduction to those who are unfamiliar with the original medium. The actors all encapsulated their characters well and I'm very excited and simultaneously worried about future seasons. Seriously, how will they ever catch up to the anime lol?

9. Pyramid Game
Korean Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
○ 2024/03/21 (March 21st, 2024)
I could go on and on about this amazing drama. Fantastic characters and relationship dynamics, well-written plot with little to no plot holes, heroes you love & villains you love to hate. This is the FIRST ever drama that I've rated 10/10. It's literal perfection. Sung Soo Ji is without a doubt, one of the best main characters of all-time and I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL DEFENDING THIS OPINION. This drama shows how even without a star-studded/well-known cast, it will still be amazing if all the actors pull their weight.

10. The Great Escape Season 2
Korean TV Show - 2019, 13 episodes
○ 2024/03/24 (March 24th, 2024) **REWATCH**
After rewatching... it lowkey is worse than I remember. The personas the main cast have gets on my nerves nowadays and it isn't as enjoyable. The production is still fantastic, but everything else is a huge letdown.

11. It's Okay to Not Be Okay
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
○ 2024/03/26 (March 26th, 2024)
The first three episodes were quite time-consuming in my opinion, but later on it gets much better... until episodes 13-15. That's when the "plot twist" begins and oh boy, the writing downgrades so, so much. Adding more details would be spoilers, so let's just I enjoyed the scenes where the found family trope was prominent more. Overall, it's still a great drama and I understand why this would be in someone's top 10 list.

12. She Makes My Heart Flutter
Korean Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
○ 2024/03/27 (March 27th, 2024)
This was such a comforting drama, with just endless love poured into this project. It is unabashedly queer, which was the part I appreciated most. It showcases what it's like to be sapphic in South Korea without any explicit homophobia. I'm not saying that every LGBTQ+ media should be happy-go-lucky, but with many cases of the "bury your gays" trope and token gay characters, this drama felt like a breath of fresh air.

13. You're So Precious to Me
Korean Movie - 2021
○ 2024/03/28 (March 28th, 2024)
An objectively good movie, but it didn't grab my attention in any way, so I was left feeling bored by the second act.
-
14. Nightmare Teacher
Korean Drama - 2016, 12 episodes
○ 2024/03/29 (March 29th, 2024)
A mediocre drama brought down by its awful ending. The main male lead was plain annoying and the main character was just... there. The different side characters and their stories did not interest me in any way.
-
15. Business Proposal
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
○ 2024/03/30 (March 30th, 2024)
I was really enjoying the first half of the drama since while the plot did seem cliche, the execution was new and fresh. The "parodies" of certain romantic gestures and characters were hilarious. However, the second half turned into just another romcom, with unnecessary melodramatic scenes, plummeting my overall love for the show. It's still a step above most romcoms, but yeah, the ending was not it.
-
16. The Great Escape Season 3
Korean TV Show - 2020, 13 episodes
○ 2024/03/31 (March 31st, 2024) **REWATCH**
Same as last season. When I rewatched it, some scenes were less enjoyable unfortunately.
-
17. All of Us Are Dead
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
○ 2024/03/31 (March 31st, 2024)
All of Us Are Dead was a thrilling, suspenseful, and a heart-racing watch. This drama manages to make me care for so many characters in such a short time. These rookie actors acted their hearts out, with my particular favourite performance being Yoon Chan Young.
-
18. Train to Busan
Korean Movie - 2016
○ 2024/04/01 (April 1st, 2024)
I remember watching this when I was young and absolutely crying my eyes out in the ending. Many years have passed, yet my reaction is still the same.
-
19. Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
○ 2024/04/03 (April 3rd, 2024)
EAW brings the spotlight to an autistic rookie attorney. Using her brain and wits, Woo Young Woo wins cases all the while making long-standing relationships with her fellow co-workers. It's pretty good! Some cases were extremely boring, so that diminished my rating by a lot, but I stayed for the amazing romantic relationship between Jun Ho and Young Woo. Those two were absolute couple goals and total green flags.
-
20. BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen
Japanese Special - 2023, 3 episodes
○ 2024/04/04 (April 4th, 2024)
Cute, short, and sweet. Both male leads tend to overact a lot, but honestly, I think it's just because I'm unfamiliar with the way Japanese actors act lol
-
21. The Story of Park's Marriage Contract
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
○ 2024/04/05 (April 5th, 2024)
The leads have sizzling chemistry, the supporting characters are so fun, and get this: I actually LOVED the historical scenes. Jesus christ I did not expect this drama to be so good.
-
22. Miss Sherlock
Japanese Drama - 2018, 8 episodes
○ 2024/04/13 (April 13th, 2024)
Cases were boring and predictable. The characters of Sherlock and Watson annoyed me. The last case was stupid. Overall eh.
-
23. D.P.
Korean Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
○ 2024/04/13 (April 13th, 2024)
Do I think that this is a masterpiece like what everybody else is saying? Nope. But I do think it's a good show that showcases the extent of what bullying can do to you; the emotional toil and struggle is real. Good acting from pretty much everyone too, so that's a plus.

Korean TV Show - 2024, 8 episodes

25. Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead
Japanese Movie - 2023
○ 2024/04/20 (April 20th, 2024)
The dialogue and acting was cringy at times, but the overall theme was a nice lesson. It's just too long for its own good.
-
26. The Glory
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
○ 2024/04/21 (April 21st, 2024)
A revenge plot that's genuinely just about revenge. It's thrilling, it's dark, it's The Glory.
-
27. Bokura no Shokutaku
Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
○ 2024/04/21 (April 21st, 2024)
Iijima Hiroki is truly an extraordinary actor, like he does the wistful eyes so well. Yutaka was a very one-off character (yes, you can be that kind of character archetype even with a sad past) and so were Minoru & Tane, but the latter had wonderful personalities that I couldn't help but love them.

29. The Glory Part 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
○ 2024/04/29 (April 29th, 2024)
Same as part 1, but I was a little less invested.

31. Night Has Come
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
○ 2024/05/03 (May 3rd, 2024)
