Log: 2023 [With Notes]

(Dramacool)          Total = 1 hr 47 min 
Notes:   Humor didn't seem funny & finding out who is Jackal didn't seem interesting.   It was a surprise it is the female abductor & the imposter.  Video quality so poor face recognition difficult.

(Dramacool)          Total = 2 hrs 3 min 
Notes:   Actors in Korean version more relatable. Did not care for FL in this one at all.  ML didn't seem to have depth. Music during the ending rolling credits was good.

(Dramacool)          Total = 1 hr 58 min  
Notes:  Liked love triangle element in this version.  Ugly duckling to swan transformation a bit stronger in this version.  ML cuter.  

(Dramacool)          Total = 2 hrs  
Notes:   Loved that this is a short version of " Missin Kiss, Mischievous Kiss: Tokoyo, Playful Kiss.  Loved FL's line: "this has nothing to do w/ you" while all the wall art is of him. Bed pillow + blanket had ML's sleeping image.  Dumbness of FL still irksome but the comic relief humor missing from other versions but added to this one helped a lot.

(Dramacool)          Total = 1 hr  56 min
Notes: Seen this storyline a lot. FL gets fake boyfriend & he makes her a slave. FL teaches ML how to love.  Music was really good.

(Dramacool)          Total = 2 hrs  2 min
Notes:   So well written guessing who FL would end up w/ till very end. Liked both guys for her.  Since cheering girl didn't seem right for loner boy.

(Dramacool)          Total = 2 hrs 
Notes:  Not as gory as anticipated.  1 modest sex scene. Story telling didn't make surprises surprising.  Brother sister & daughter father relationships were anticipated.   Unfolding the mystery of why he was captured/imprisoned was interesting/well done.

(Dramacool)          Total = 2 hrs  14 min
Notes:  Total hidden gem.  Loved all the characters.  Story telling gave cliche genre surprises (flashback to letter reading when ML hit, ML's reason for attitude, ML going to USA). Favorite scene - leads following their crushes to a puppy. 

Ending a bit unsatisfying - ML goes to USA/they separate for a long time & they reunite yrs later @ a concert.

(Dramacool)          Total = 1 hr  38 min 
Notes:   2 sex scenes, 1 date rape scene.  ML actor great acting.  The story telling of the rise to fame for an unknown actor didn't seem riveting.  Video quality so bad could hardly make out actors faces.

(Dramacool)          Total = 2 hrs  9 min 
Notes:   Brings up many questions.  Who did HS girl love?  Is her affection for old man disgusting or innocent?  Did old man think he had a real chance at a relationship? Did understudy really die?  FL actress 32, old man actor 46, understudy actor 41.  Old man make up didn't really show a 70 yr old man.  In end FL realized she was duped by understudy.  FL apologizes to old man & says goodbye.  Loved FL character's questions & when she says girls have sex when young because they are lonely too. 2 strong sex scenes - FL w/ each ML.

(Dramacool)          Total = 1 hr  53 min 
Notes:   FL's crying was just plain bad acting.  ML's toying w/ FL @ beginning was funny.  Video quality poor.

(Dramacool)          Total = 2 hrs  7 min 
Notes:  Disliked FL character - never smiled & felt her selfishness when she couldn't give up ML when he could've been her blood related bro. Thank goodness in the end parents said ML's dad is real so no blood relation between leads.

(Dramacool)          Total = 2 hrs  19 min 
Notes:   Super draggy/boring.  Group of friends try to save a friend member from suicide.  Current timeline can't be changed, but in a parallel timeline he is saved.

(Dramacool)          Total = 2 hrs 9 min 
Notes:   Loved the clothes. FL2 kinda creepy, especially her neck. Glad FL ended up w/her childhood friend & playboy classmate learned about love.  Playboy trapping FL w/his arm's several times super cute.

(Dramacool)          Total = 2 hrs 9 min 
Notes:   Super sad.  ML dies of cancer in the end. Love that the FL is a strong, devoted, & loving person. 

(Dramacool)          Total = 1 hr 35 min 
Notes:   Not a fan of ML actor. Liked FL actress.  Cliche - FL signs contract to be ML's slave & they fall in love.  Video quality was super bad - picture pretty fuzzy.

(Dramacool)          Total = 1 hr 53 min 
Notes:  Several sex scenes.  ML great muscular body but his eyes bothered me.  They say villain, but he is not.  Liked the allotment of time to each main storyline, revenge, treason, & love story.  

Ending - Seemed like lovers chose to drown together but no bodies recovered, so open to believe they live on. Horndog king's son-in-law poisoned by his wife.  Video quality bad - kept buffering.

(Netflix)          Total = 2 hrs 4 min 
Notes:  Cliche but cute. Glad FL dumped her boyfriend & ran off to find herself. The wedding brings the lovers back together at least as good friends, working towards more. Acting good-Really felt ML's desperation.

(Viki)          Total = 1 hr 58 min 
Notes:  Lots of vivid heterosexual sex scenes but has a message so not porn.  A more positive view of prostitution. 1 BL scene.  The sex scene w/ def girl, peeing woman, crying friend & old man in wheelchair jacking off disturbed me.  Predictable ending w/ call boy owner revealing she has AIDS.  So many call boy/gigolo themed movies make me curious if call boys actually exist.

Please Love Me!
(Viki)           Avg Dur:    45 min        Total = 7 hrs 30 min
Notes:   The condescending, supportive banter between leads was hilarious/enjoyable.  FL is pretty.  Orange tabby cat & Shibu Inu super cute.

(Viki)           Avg Dur:    48 min        Total = 12 hrs 48 min
Notes:   Grandpa & mom too mean, unlikable. The acting & melodrama is painful to watch.  ML has shirt off 65% of the time. 1 shower scene. 2 fun scenes - ML hot for FL while cleaning & when ML is coming home from being drugged.  FL better w/ ML2...I think ML almost cheated on her?  

Ending surprising - Grandpa shoots his daughter when trying to shoot ML. Why not in jail l? How is this not addressed properly?

(Netflix)          Total = 2 hrs 10 min 
Notes:   BL & not BL.  Kinda bromance feeling. Kept wondering if Greg Hsu is gay in real life.  Male nudity w/ beautiful Hsu's body.  His scene running down the street as gay guy then a pole dance was hilarious. Cried @ end.

Ending - cop accepted husband, visited his family, & murderer caught.

(Hulu)           Avg Dur:    1 hr 11 min        Total = 18 hrs 56 min
Notes:   {English Dubbed}   The acting was fantastic, so many good characters.  Enjoyed the married couple romance (lots of heartfelt hugs).  Missed Jerry for a while.  Lots of storylines just faded off or were not clear.  

Ending - ML becomes Big Mouse, FL dies of cancer, Mayor dies from contaminated pool water.

(Viki)          Total = 1 hr 59 min 
Notes:   So sad.  Moon Bin's 10 yr old self will never get to know if his worries could've been worked out.  All their voices very enjoyable.  Cha Eun Woo not as strong as a vocalist as I anticipated.

(Viki)          Total = 2 hrs 19 min 
Notes:  1 back side male nudity plus shirt off from tall actor. 1 sex scene w/back side nudity from ML.  Some gore - an arm & a hand. 

Happy ending - lead gave all $ to members & his dad's $ is w/ mom, & he passed exam + not gambling.

(Viki)          Total = 1 hr 54 min 
Notes:   Golden retriever stole the show.  Sad (I cried) & funny @ same time.  Lots of emotional acting skills needed for this one.  The scene w/Yoo Yeon Seok w/ kid was fantastic & felt like his character was different from all his others. Many well-known actor guest roles.

Falling High School Girl & Irresponsible Teacher  
(Netflix)           Avg Dur:  24 min        Total = 3 hrs 36 min
Notes:   Focus was on suicide.  Witty, corky, argumentative banter of lead characters was unique/enjoyable.  Acting was very good.

(Netflix)           Avg Dur:    56 min        Total = 12 hrs  8 min
Notes:   No trauma & drama. Wholesome dating show w/ 3 out of 5 couples in the end. 2 with real promise.

(Netflix)           Avg Dur:    50 min        Total = 5 hrs 
Notes:   Newness of story made season 1 better.  Season 2 had female roles. "Nina the drag queen was amazing. Music fantastic.  Season 3 not planned at this time. 

Ending - ML says to buddy "I am just getting started" so small tidbit hint for season 3.  

(Hulu)           Avg Dur:    1 hr 10 min        Total = 14 hrs 
Notes:   A more mature couple/relationship. Lead actors' faces were mostly expressionless.  Kissing was good, lots of munching. Future kiss scene played to repetitiously. Acting towards end got better, ML smiles & cutely taunts FL w/ trying to undress her. Blood moon imagery beautiful. Kinda boring glad only 12 ep.  

Ending - both lose powers when killer caught or blood moon event & fight like cats n dogs...FL kisses ML powers returned?

(Hulu)           Avg Dur:    1 hr 58 min       
Notes:   A lot of gore. Several rape scenes w/different characters.  A lot of fast paced brief images. It reminds me of the parents at parent teacher conferences who only believed/defended their kid, saying their kid is "a good kid", but classroom video always proved otherwise.

Boy's Abyss      
(Viki)           Avg Dur:  30 min        Total = 4 hrs 
Notes:   Actor's real age gap ML = 17 & FL = 27 made me uncomfortable.  All woman in the town liking 1 suicidal boy is not an interesting story.

A Little Room for Hope       
(Viki)           Avg Dur:  24 min        Total = 4 hrs 
Notes:   Super slow & extremely depressing.  At the end kindhearted kidnapper killed by mom & 2yrs later FL commits suicide. ML wore mask whole series which was kinda weird. Mom& dad actors were terrible.

(Netflix)           Total =2 hrs 5 min
Notes:   Loved Park Seo Joon's facial expressions. Cute & funny. Starts with  "story, characters & events are fictional....if story appears true it's a coincidence."  The foreign scenes felt foreign/odd.

(Hulu)           Avg Dur:    1 hr 20 min        Total = 21 hrs 20 min
Notes:   Super complicated plot.  Love storyline moderate. Leads kiss 3 times w/ good munchies. ML w/FL2 kiss w/ munchies & almost bed scene. Dragged a bit & twists were decipherable. 

• Day 1 -Poor switched w/ Rich.  
• Day 30 - Poor Switched back to Poor. 
• Year 1 - Poor switched to Rich. 
• ? - Poor switched back to poor on B-Day til midnight then switched back to Rich
• Year 10 - Misses chance & has to stay Rich.  ML2 gets to stay as poor kid, glad!  

Disliked ML's aggressive sister, a waste of screen time.  DNA transfers so history is changed to match aka photos etc.  Fans wrote that in webtoon ML2 gets FL & ML settles for FL2, only suggestions of this ending in drama.  Disliked FL2 so didn't want her to end up w/either ML.  Music was good.

Ending - gardener switches w/rich ML & is poisoned as ML.  ML disappears & resurfaces as gardener 3 yrs later.  Has memories?  

(Hulu)           Avg Dur:    1 hr 10 min        Total = 18 hrs 40 min
Notes:   Draggy & lackluster. Chemistry luke warm. 2 urgent pressed lip kisses - 2nd had 1 munch.  Mad that the guy who left girl in street wasn't put in jail.  Dog was adorable. Music not notable.  How could ML stay in that town of abhorrible people. I did love ML's jealous scenes. 

Ending - Psycho 1 killed by psycho 2, Psycho 2 in jail, ML's sis & dad bodies found, ML stays in town & restaurant successful. Emotional link stopped when FL gave ML his sis's message.

(Hulu)           Avg Dur:    1 hr 5 min        Total = 17 hrs 20 min
Notes:   FL only had 2 faces perturbed & angry. Was hoping for more emotional range, humor & sexual tension chemistry. 5 kisses between leads - 2 were super munchy (on staircase & on ladder), 1 munchy & 2 regular kisses. ML kinda made awkward steamy face. Actress playing ML's ex was like a dead fish.  Mystery was a bit odd.  Liked the end when ML flashed back to their relationship progression & tied it to the drama's title. Happy ending all around. All music/song info displayed as a subtitles. Music was really good.

(Hulu)           Avg Dur:   45 min        Total =4 hrs 30 min
Notes:   {English Dubbed}   Missing something.... Character development & story.  It made fantastic actors look bad. Hated the kiss between leads. FL not a good romantic lead.  Go Kyung Pyo as a psycho killer was interesting. Quite a few shirt off scenes w/ Jung Hae In & 1 w/ Go Kyung Pyo. GKP got a sex scene. Wahoo. JHI character is like a Venom knock off.  

Ending - Ended on cliffhanger - connect is captured by psycho killer.  Season 2?

(Netflix)           Avg Dur:   1 hr 10 min        Total =14 hrs 
Notes:   It started off in 9 rating & slipped to 6. Loved the little girl actress in beginning. Characters & actors were flat except FL. Unique interesting story that wasn't executed well. Loved the main leads together. 1 kiss w/ major munching that gave me the feels & a couple pecks. Couple 2 had 1 forced looking pressed lip kiss. Too many repetitious flash backs. Cinematography lovely (copied buckwheat field from goblin but bridge/water glowing embers scenes notable). Music was really good.

Burning Down the House         
(Netflix)           Avg Dur:  50 min        Total = 6 hrs 40 min
Notes:   {English Dubbed}   Pleasantly surprised, not a revenge like Glory.  Love story a strong storyline too.  Liked FL actress.  Dad character was a piece of trash.  3 fire starter suspects kept me guessing.  Liked twist/surprise of older son the recluse.

(Viki)          Total = 1 hr 38 min 
Notes:   Sci -Fi cinematics & acting from newbie boy band P1H (P1Harmony) very good. Story using past present future interesting but a bit confusing in execution.  Support roles more like cameo appearances (Jung Hae in). Needs sequel to complete story, ends on cliffhanger. All members assembled....now what.  This was band's debut.

(Tubi)          Total = 1 hr 59 min 
Notes:   Pedophilia movie.  No explicit scenes, thank god. Felt like it was trying to bring awareness to the issue of parents negligent/ scaring behavior.  

(Tubi)          Total = 1 hr 23 min 
Notes:   Difficult to tell many of the actors apart. Multiple love stories gone bad. Gay man outed at his wedding, brother tossed in jail for 2 ys for incest w/sister, obsessed lover kills girlfriend & them himself to keep rival away, gay painter acquitted. Not clear on dance teacher & the couger student. Lots of full male nudity &  strong visual sex scenes.

(Tubi)          Total = 1 hr 58 min 
Notes:  Story was good/interesting but I didn't like the actors even with their good acting. 

(AsianCrush)          Total = 1 hr 46 min 
Notes:  FL plays a blind woman.  Movie kinda weird and wasn't into ML actor.

(AsianCrush)          Total = 1 hr 4 min 
Notes:   2 competing subtitles made reading this video almost impossible.  1 sex scene w/bed sheets to cover. 2 men learning how to be in a committed relationship.

 Ending - older ML sees younger ML make up w/ girlfriend realizes his issue & he dashes off to his ex.

(Viki)         Avg Dur:  1 hr 22 min       Total = 21 hrs 47 min
Notes:   Attempted to watch many times. Age gap was bothersome but I got over it. Over-hyped.  Unique interesting story but execution was off. Kim Min Jae & Lee Dong Wok both played same past king (confusing). Lots of crying & over crying. Bromance was enjoyable. ML3 character a waste. Main leads some chemistry. FL very likable. A memorable kiss on rooftop.  1 of 2 munching kisses. Several okay pressed lips kisses & pecks. Couple 2 (2nd leads) very enjoyable. 1 okay pressed lip kiss.  OST amazing & fantastic cinematography. 

Ending - Reaper finishes his job & when his lover dies they unite in heaven plus get reincarnated together. FL sacrifices herself for bus of kindergartens but is reincarnated & meets up w/ Goblin 30 years later.

(Amazon Prime)         Avg Dur: 40 min       Total = 17 hrs 20 min
Notes:   Chemistry & romance w/leads seemed nonexistent. No kissing.  ML actor - w/some fun scenes (outfit w/bow scene) & some cringey scenes (him in a dress). Annoying acting by FL & her family + ML's bro. Subtitles were poor, had a hard time understanding. 

Ending made no sense - FL is in future, wakes up to find whole journey w/ML was fake/a test, but happens to run into real ML @ science test center.

(AsianCrush)          Total = 1 hr 52 min 
Notes:   I am the loser for watching this.  Basically no audio & no story.

Ghost Sweepers          
(Amazon Prime)          Total = 2 hrs 
Notes:  Loved Lee Je Hoon's tattooed look.  Liked the idea, but the story wasn't well executed. All the different shamans was a neat character idea.  The little boy actor caught my attention.

(Amazon Prime)          Total = 2 hrs 12 min
Notes:   Deaf & blind fall in love.  The stutterer never had a chance but enjoyed his character.  Great acting but story just didn't melt my icy heart.

(Amazon Prime)          Total = 2 hrs 48 min
Notes:   FL pretty & talented.  ML talented.  Chemistry really good w/ 1 several munchies passionate kiss. 

Ending - Leads promise to meet up but both die @ same time in separate locations. ML commits suicide before murdered by his own men & FL sickness takes her.

(Amazon Prime)         Avg Dur: 10 min       Total = 4 hrs 
Notes:   FL cute. Chemistry so so between main couple & 2nd couple. 3 pressed lips kisses.  Happy ending.

From Miyamoto to You
(AsianCrush)          Total = 2 hr 9 min
Notes:   ALOT of yelling/screaming as dialogue.  The underdog winning his revenge against the rugby rapist. 

Ending wife carried off in ambulance in labor. What happens to her + baby?

(Netflix)         Avg Dur: 45 min       Total = 9 hrs 
Notes:   {English Dubbed}   The mystery sucked me in...really good writing. I kept asking myself "didn't I just see that girl" but surprise she is the evil blogger & lives in squalor. Mom scenes terrible acting & unlikable. Romance element not strong. 

Ending - Jun Ho, a cleaner picks up ipad & shows interest in FL's online account. Season 2 ?

My Happy Divorced Life
(AsianCrush)          Avg Dur:  25 min        Total = 2 hr 30 min
Notes:   Actors age gap (FL = 34 / ML = 24) & Characters (FL 35 / ML 22) Kinda cringey because he acts like a kid & her his mom. Individually I liked the characters & actors tho. ML tries to do it w/FL while ML2 in room...yuck. Did not like ML2 for her either.  Ex-husband is a real tool. FL should have turned into rocker chic just like in intro sequence. CAT CAFE YEAH!

(Viki)         Avg Dur: 45 min       Total = 18 hrs 
Notes:   Chemistry of main lead couple not as good as "Wait My Youth." Leads lots of mediocre fake kissing.  Couple 2: Dr + model - 2 kisses plus Dr had shirt off & Couple 3: Psychologist & ML's Asst - 2 kisses & best kissers.  FL had multiple personalities which actress did fairly well at.  Wished for more humor between leads w/ personalities, but secret revealed too soon.  Tidd bits of humor. Could've been shorter. Repeating English sung song was really good. 

Ending - FL gets scar removal surgery, couple 2 go to England, couple 3 marry.

(Viki)         Avg Dur: 45 min       Total = 18 hrs 
Notes:   Chemistry w/leads really good. 2 quick pressed lip kisses near & at end. 2 other couples super likable.  FL's biker roommate2 + FL's younger bro & ML's childhood archery buddy + FL's roommate1. Good humor.  art shots of a beautiful tree. Many cute animals.

(Viki)         Avg Dur: 30 min       Total = 5 hrs 
Notes:   Mega slow, mtn out of mohill storyline. Females were all pretty.  FL great smile. No real skinship. Governmental arranged marriages is an interesting topic, but felt like it was turned into a dry how to video.

(Viki)         Total = 2 hr 3 min
Notes:   It was hard to understand. ML wasn't attractive or endearing. Clans & group n/ explained well. 

Ending - A fake was real (but I thought that was the one the Japanese had which wasn't supposed to go to them?)

(Viki)         Total = 1 hr 31 min
Notes:  Story was really weak. Multiple brief rapid fire images of sex scenes in beginning only. 

Ending - FL dies?

(Amazon Prime)         Total = 2 hr 22 min
Notes:   {English Dubbed}   Story idea interesting, CGI delightful, good actors, but something is just off, not sure why. Bombed in Korea.  Sequel to come out in 2024?

(Amazon Prime)         Total = 2 hr 1 min
Notes:   Kim Go Eun had great martial arts presence. Story all over the place. Key facts: FL & ML betray M3, FL raises her own daughter as M3's kid, kid grows up to kill the 2 betrayers (her parents)...not sure why?  Scenery was breath taking (wheat fields, sun flowers, mountain range, etc)

(Amazon Prime)         Total = 1 hr 40 min
Notes:   Jang hyuk phenomenal acting. Fighting scenes feel realistic. He does go completely blind in end. 

(MDL commenter Hermine Voltaire) This was the Joseon version of the film series, Taken.
“Be very careful of whom you mess with”

“I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.”

First Love
(Amazon Prime)         Total = 1 hr 43 min
Notes:   FL actress's face gives me the creeps. Young ML did a good job, really felt his emotions.  3 somewhat visual sex scenes w him & 1 w/ his buddy + heavy lady. 

Ending - FL hit by car, adult ML is taking care of her & young ML visits. Couldn't decipher their thoughts by their facial expressions.

(Amazon Prime)         Total = 1 hr 54 min
Notes:  Trailer tricked me into thinking rom com...it was not. Slow & serious. ML's acting was amazingly good.  

Ambiguous ending - Not sure if happy ending was real or what brain damaged boxer imagined. I cried.

(Amazon Prime)         Total = 1 hr 42 min
Notes:   Rape scenes only implied w/ some amp up visuals.  The age of the students & the involvement in such an adult industry was disconcerting.  I actually wasn't surprised by who master was, I was surprised that a 13 yr old could bully/manipulate in a horrid way & the girl lied/she was bad. Master crying to show remorse was a relief.

Secret Confessions
(Amazon Prime)         Total = 1 hr 57 min
Notes:   ML taxi driver has sex w/ 3 different FLs. 2 scenes foreplay heavy & 3rd a bit more action. 

Ending - no one committed suicide. ML w/ 1 of the women who is preg w/ 2nd baby.

(Amazon Prime)         Total = 1 hr 18 min
Notes:   Can Men & Woman be friends? Well this didn't answer it. FL pays for ML's friendship - taboo in Japanese culture, but doesn't translate well here in USA.  Didn't understand any of the emotions. Why did FL try to kiss roomate? Did FL like ML, FL2 or both? 

Ending -leads kissed.

(AsianCrush)         Total = 28 min
Notes:  Unsure if 404 not found meant the music FL posted for ML on internet had been deleted before he realized the note in the music case.

(Viki)         Avg Dur: 35 min       Total = 18 hrs 40 min
Notes:   Exciting start that fizzled out. Chemistry between all luke warm. Kiss 1 - ML a couple small munches on stiff FL lips, kiss 2 - elevator & totally laughable/odd, Kiss 3 -ending, odd multi kisses. Good humor bits in beginning/middle. Music really good.

(Viki)         Avg Dur: 1 hr 2 min       Total = 16 hrs 32 min
Notes:   Loved all actors/characters. Like Meteor Garden but many scenes cut out & changed. ML's mom actress too young. ML2 looked great w/FL too & was a real contender. ML4 I liked better too. Less steaminess w/ leads. 2 okay kisses - 2 munches. Lots of PP. Music was good.

(Amazon Prime)         Avg Dur: 1 hr 10 min        Total = 14 hrs
Notes:   Town scenes looked like cheap movie set.  Disliked the zombie scenes.  Loved all the main actors & characters. 2 good kiss scenes w/a couple munches from ML2 & mermaid.  Seemed like several dramas put together (Hotel del Luna, Chicago typewriter, Rampant, Mr Sunshine & Alchemy of Souls).  

Ending - all live & ML + asst return to 2023. Parallel Universe or timeline changes? 4th Mtn god still loose. Season 3 in discussions.

(Viki)         Avg Dur: 1 hr        Total = 8 hrs
Notes:   Gore & fighting. A few funny comments to giggle at. 2 young MLs hot, especially w/shirts off. Lots of characters, but most killed off ep 6.  Not dying to see a 2nd season but if made I'd watch it.

(Viki)         Total = 17 hr 20 min
Notes:   Liked FL a lot. Liked crazy stalker FL2 even when I felt like I shouldn't because she had no boundaries.  Liked ML even though I am not a fan of him.  Lots of good humor throughout. 1 good kiss @ photo shoot & 1 really good couple of munches kiss. Something w/ chemistry or story seemed off, can't put a finger on it. Got harder to imagine ML as HS student as story progressed. Age gap was cringy, maybe why writers kept ML2 in coma?  Music was good.

Ending - was a shit show.  1 yr elapses from FL's confession of love for HS student. ML1 & ML2 didn't switch bodies. Why???  

(Viki)         Total = 1 hr 42 min
Notes:  Story was super slow/boring especially for a thriller.

(Viki)         Total = 1 hr 20 min
Notes:  A total mess, I liked it. Story almost not comprehensible due to editing out connections to scenes. ML was good w/ his steamy pursuit of FL. ML bit FL on shoulder..odd. Time period chosen interesting.

(YouTube_WeTv)         Total = 28 min

Notes:  Technically episode 28. Why are leads talking to parents on wedding night? Can't the parents loosen their grip for at least 1 day/night. Was the two-timing jerk coach in audience? Who invited him?  Loved: the dancing @ end, the way ML sobered up instantly & tackled his bride..ADORABLE.

(Viki)         Avg Dur:   45 min       Total = 20 hrs 15 min
Notes:   Loved ML.  His sexual tension stare & sad face were magic.  FL- didn't deserve ML, overconfident, naive, childish. All other acting/characters were relatable but script was bad. Characters show up & weirdly drop out.  ML/FL - 1 very good in bubbles kiss, 1 good kiss on study bus, 2 okay kisses no munching, 1 weird lips on upper lip & about 8 pecks.  Disliked overbearing parents. Loved all the art shots of the trees. Happy ending.

(Viki)         Avg Dur:   1 hr 8 min       Total = 18 hrs 8 min
Notes:   Couldn't decide which ML to root for. ML rude but learned to love, ML2 made her waver w/ his kindness but turned stalkerish.  Both super good looking. ML/FL had 2 pretty good kiss scenes w/munching. 2 more couples created from FL's 2 BFs w/ their own stories.  Music was really good.

(Viki)         Avg Dur:   1 hr 15 min       Total = 23 hrs 45 min
Notes:   FL irritating - rosy colored glasses, doesn't think about repercussions, naive, emotional 5 yr old personality. "Mommy"? Memorized by ML's masculine hands. Heart fluttered when framer bro threw FL over shoulder & then she looked up @ him w/ puppy dog eyes. Wasn't rooting for leads to end up together, ML2 a better choice.  Weird that farmer bro n/ in most middle episodes & then randomly shows up for last couple episodes. Great kiss scene end of episode 11. Music pretty enjoyable. 

Ending - mom in jail, villain died by car hitting him, ML proposes marriage to FL.

(Viki)         Avg Dur:  40 min       Total = 20 hrs
Notes:   Remake of earlier Korean version & not as good. FL acting as robot was bad.  Items in background/props interesting:  mushroom tree, white back hugging sculpture, mini robot, greenhouse, & stuffed monkey. A couple pressed lips kiss scenes. Actor who played ML's friend w/evil dad looked like Lee Min Ho sometimes.

Daughter of Lupin
(Asian Crush)        Avg Dur:  54 min        Total = 9 hrs 54 min
Notes:   Robin hood, Romeo & Juliet, & Cat Woman rolled into one drama w/ a Japanese flair. Add a police drama & a musical & you get a corky unique enjoyable watch. Loved dancing guys voice ...if it was his + his younger self.

(Viki)        Avg Dur:  15 min        Total = 3 hrs 
Notes:  The witch chanting was actually scary to me. 

Ending - curse lifted & a yr passes. Leads reunite as she didn't become 40 yr old woman.

(Netflix)         Total = 2 hr 17 min
Notes:   Not a fan of FL, too skinny for role however she did a pretty good job. FL's daughter was gay.  No story/plot - hardly made sense...why did sis hate FL? Thought sister was girlfriend, incest?

(Viki)        Avg Dur:  35 min        Total = 21 hrs 
Notes:   LC no chemistry. 2nd couple a bit more interesting. Too many repetitious scenes - coughing up blood, fireflies, trips to cherry blossom valley, etc. 3 lifetimes & 1 reincarnation stories not different enough. ML's acting suffered from poor script, but his white hair & few shirts off scenes enjoyable. 6 or so pressed lips scenes from LC. Music- really good. 

Ending - Immortal fate killed, bird & Pavillion Lord together, leads' soul trapped together in net disc.

Even If you Don't Do It
(Viki)        Avg Dur:  54 min        Total = 9 hrs 54 min 
Notes:   Super slow w/ no pay off. ML pissed me off the whole time. Selfish, cheating egotist. ML expected FL to give up kids, cook, clean & be sexless w/out her knowing. After divorce FL goes back to him. Might be realistic? ML2 used by his wife, but she tries to do right thing.

My Hot Sexless Lover
(Viki)        Avg Dur:  30 min        Total = 4 hrs 30 min 
Notes:   FL's face adorable/pretty.  ML as hot is up for debate.  The supporting male friend was more pleasing to the eye too me.

(Viki)         Avg Dur:  45 min       Total = 21 hrs
Notes:   FL's name starts w/Jill. Liked the couple pairing. Romance felt contrived many times. Kisses about 6 were lips on lips, last one had 1 munch. Felt like leads became more connected towards end. Baby voices & fake turtle a bit annoying. ML2 never had a chance. Holes in story lines. Blood? Why is he only touchable? 

Ending - After 2 ys FL returns to ML in a flower field as her planet's ambassador. 

(Netflix)         Avg Dur:  1 hr 10 min       Total = 23 hrs 20 min
Notes:  Ha Neul looks adorable when crying. Wished it had less episodes & crying. A few subpar kissing scenes but liked the 2 actors together. 

Ending - father arrested for murders but son (FL's handyman) finally is caught by FL. Leads marry, Ex boyfriend saves his marriage & FL's son becomes baseball star.

(Viki)         Avg Dur:  1 hr 10 min       Total = 18 hrs 40 min
Notes:   Woo Do Hwan acting is really good.  All other actors were like wallpaper. Didn't feel the romance. 2 pressed lip kiss scenes - 1 at end had small hint of munching. Love triangle barely luke warm. 2nd love couple really odd.  Yowzer Abs... 3 or soo ML shirts off scenes. Giggled a lot at his mangled hat scenes.  A few beautiful scenery shots: fav - wooden house at base of cliff edge).  Music good at times.

(Tubi)         Total = 1 hr 47 min
Notes:   Complex 2 timeline plots.  2 main leads, 1938 characters reincarnated in 2015.  Communication via ML changes past & present.  

Ending - 1938 ML, FL & villain die so 2015 ML detective now a teacher, 2015 FL & chief's wife & 49 fire students alive. Chief killed 2015 FL in alternate timeline but he was on hill so not sure how he drove a car to hit her?

(Tubi)         Total = 1 hr 50 min
Notes:  3 sisters in different generations. JR High FL = learns she is lesbian.  Freelance writer= has a well put together ready to marry guy or rocker loser ex-boyfriend.  Rich play director= dealing w/menopause & younger infatuated guy play member.

(Tubi)         Total = 2 hr 3 min
Notes:  Ugly cried....  American songs were super good.

(Tubi)         Total = 1 hr 48 min
Notes:  Close to a silent film. Based on true story of movie's Director's sister/friends. A couple of really beautiful Thailand landscape scenery scenes. The ending was a total surprise. The amount of blood coming out of neck seemed a bit farfetched.

(Tubi)         Total = 1 hr 46 min
Notes:   Wasn't a fan of the leads pairing. My biggest issue is the real & emotional age gap. (ML actor 49 - FL actor 31 = 18 yr difference).  Loved the dog.

(Asian Crush)         Total = 1 hr 40 min
Notes:  A bit too weird for me. Not sure if bugs in brain were real or something made up to describe mental illness. Acting & kiss in the lake was fantastic skill work.

(Asian Crush)         Total = 1 hr 53 min
Notes:   Could have been cute but actors kinda unlikable, especially ML.  2 different shamans picking the same name is uncanny.  FL chooses love over a name.

(Asian Crush)         Total = 2 hr 18 min
Notes:   Book & movie very different in plot & ending.  "You protect the world & I will protect you." 

Ending is after the credits. FL is a teacher. She walks a bullied student home & ML is following a few feet behind.

(Asian Crush)         Total = 1 hr 25 min
Notes:   It didn't have a message or point of view.  I have no clue what I watched.  A couple of vivid hetero sex scenes FL w/husband & male prostitute. Homo scenes just kissing & shower nudity. Kinda creepy w/puppet & stalker neighbor.
