-
1. Your Home
Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
01/01 | I actually rlly liked this tbh. Also all the characters are models (literally) like damn. Watched on 2x speed.
-
2. To Sir, With Love
Thai Drama - 2022, 17 episodes
04/01 | The mommas are on smthn fr. The sons are literal saints to be forgiving them for the shit they pulled. Thian and Yang's love and respect for each other had me grinning like an idiot. You’d think they’d learn that someone is always eavesdropping in that house but they don’t.
-
3. Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita
Japanese Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
05/01 | This was rlly good. That whole dynamic seems toxic as fuck tho lol
-
4. Soshite, Ikiru
Japanese Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
05/01 | This was so far outside my genre comfort zone but I didn’t hate it (watched on 2x speed tho). This poor woman has the worst luck.

Japanese Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
08/01 | Heartwarming, easy to watch and fun!
-
6. Till the World Ends

11/01 | Short nd sweet.
-
9. Miman Keisatsu: Midnight Runner
Japanese Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
12/01 | There was nothing about this I didn’t enjoy. They did the movie justice (this was even better imo).
-
10. The Director Who Buys Me Dinner
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
13/01 | Not bad. Didn’t have much time to get attached to any of the characters.
-
11. School Tales the Series
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

13. Mood Indigo

14. Hiru
Japanese Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
20/01 | Why was this split into two parts? Who’s to say.
-
15. Hiru Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
22/01 | I now know why it was split into two parts. I think I might actually prefer the first season but I kinda lost interest towards the end of both so it’s hard to say.
-
16. Word of Honor
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
23/01 | I initially got to abt halfway before stopping. Finally rewatched nd so glad I did. My heart. This is perfect.

24/01 | Watched on 2x speed from ep 6 bc it’s just not very entertaining now is it.
-
19. Neko
Japanese Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
28/01 | I was not expecting to cry. This made me cry. Wtf. I watched on 2x speed bc I was not expecting to like it much. Omg.
-
20. Seirei no Moribito
Japanese Drama - 2016, 4 episodes
28/01 | So glad I stumbled upon this drama I’ve been craving a historical fantasy with a badass female lead. It’s always men who get to beat ppl up when all I want is to watch a woman kick ass.
-
21. Yuri Dano Kan Dano
Japanese Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
04/02 | Bruh. Was not expecting this to be so perverted and weird. It did keep me watching tho idk what that says abt me..
-
22. I Will Knock You
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
14/02 | So. Much. Second. Hand. Embarrassment.

Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
14/02 | Was the plot he was writing really that good? Seems underwhelming.
-
27. Handsome Stewardess
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
04/03 | Got through two episodes before resigning and putting it on 2x in the background as I crocheted.
-
28. Seirei no Moribito Season 3
Japanese Drama - 2017, 9 episodes
25/03 | Gotta be my favourite season. A perfect resolution for all the characters. I’m gonna miss this (though I watched on 2x speed to get out of my drama slump).
-
29. All the Liquors
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
25/03 | I didn't even realise I finished this as there was one more “episode” on Viki. Turns out no, that was it lol
-
30. Our Dating Sim
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
31/03 | Friends to lovers with good communication? Yes please.
-
31. Kyouso no Musume
Japanese Drama - 2022, 7 episodes
03/04 | Binged it. I liked that it was short as it’s easier to watch but it could’ve been so much better if it were longer.
-
32. Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
03/04 | The scene where Yuma blew the meteor was hilarious.
-
33. Utsukushii Kare Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
04/04 | Their relationship is much less toxic but no less weird.
-
34. Light on Me
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
21/04 | I hate love triangles but this was alright.
-
35. Disarming Romance
Korean Drama - 2022, 3 episodes
28/04 | This was fine.
-
36. Jack o' Frost
Japanese Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
03/05 | Their relationship wasn’t perfect but wasn’t broke. Very endearing.
-
37. A Shoulder to Cry On
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
11/05 | Really sweet. Can’t imagine having two members in the same group acting in a bl together going over well. Fans are crazy. Good for publicity tho lmao
-
38. Oh No! Here Comes Trouble
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
17/05 | Friendship trio found family, heartfelt, tragic backstory, comedy, supernatural. Stunning babes simply stunning x
-
39. Ju-on: Noroi no Ie
Japanese Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
20/05 | Spooky. Shivered me timbers. Had to hide behind my hands at some points but overall not jumpscare galore. Kinda depressing.
-
40. Happy Merry Ending
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
26/05 | The ex throwing tantrums was hilarious.
-
41. Love Mate
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
27/05 | The complete 180 in project proposals was honestly just embarrassing.
-
42. Unintentional Love Story
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
30/05 | This is a bit of me ngl. Hugs>>> Also a side couple?? Love that.
-
43. Bokura no Shokutaku
Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
10/06 | Tane is adorable.
-
44. Star Struck
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
10/06 | Overly ambitious. Was really looking forward for a friends to lovers.. oh well. Not terrible at least.
-
45. HIStory5: Love in the Future
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
10/06 | A lot of people were harsh on it whilst it was still airing and wasn’t that bad, but the last few episodes def took it down some stars. Not the worst in the HIStory series (4 I’m looking at u). Nothing can beat trapped.
-
46. Doctor Cha
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
11/06 | The first full length k-drama I’ve managed to complete this year. Funny, sweet and sad. Very good hehe. Saw a lot of negative reviews, but I liked the ending, people just move on with their lives. Horrible people don't miraculously live miserably just because of karmic justice.
-
47. The First Responders
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
22/06 | This is right up my alley, wish it was a friendship trio rather than a love triangle though. The ending was cruel.
-
48. Love Tractor
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
02/07 | Cute, short and easy to watch.
-
49. Cool Doji Danshi
Japanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
05/07 | Wholesome and heartwarming.
-
50. Zenra Meshi
Japanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
06/07 | The number of misunderstandings and second hand embarrassment in this is astronomical.
-
51. Fahlanruk
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
29/07 | 2x speed is a blessing and I shall never take it for granted again. I knew I wasn't going to love this from the get go, but watched it bc I was procrastinating. I did binge the entire thing in one sitting though, don't know what that says about me.
-
52. My Ride
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
30/07 | When I procrastinate I watch things I do not enjoy as a punishment. Therefore I am neither happy nor productive. (2x)
-
53. Tell Me Sick
Korean Drama - 2022, 9 episodes
30/07 | This is actually pretty good for what it is. (still 2x tho lol)
-
54. Addicted
Chinese Drama - 2016, 15 episodes
31/07 | Don’t normally include rewatches but Stay With Me prompted this and I only rated it a 6 before. I was hung up on the stepbrother thing (and the obvious problematic scene(s)). Maybe it’s the nostalgia but I enjoyed this a lot. Also the way I remember it ending was completely different. I remember it ENDING with the reveal with the mother. Sad China sucks.
-
55. My School President
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
02/08 | Took me a while to finish this but overall very cute. Love the integration of music.
-
56. Shigatsu no Tokyo wa...
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
04/08 | Shenanigans.
-
57. Paint with Love
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
05/08 | A show with Yoon in it that I actually enjoy? Crazy times. Maybe it’s The Tae Effect™ where I end up liking a show I probably shouldn’t i.e. Triage. Anyway this is my favourite Singto pairing period. Lots of name dropping in this review.
-
58. Bad and Crazy
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
09/08 | Not me literally sobbing for the last 30 minutes. Don't think I've cried that much since Lee Kwang Soo left Running Man. I was gonna get away with a single tear until they started crying and it was over for me.
-
59. Ghost Doctor
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
11/08 | After reading the comments, I decided it would be in my best interest to skip the romance scenes. This was a good decision.
-
60. Psychopath Diary
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
14/08 | If “Don’t Call it Mystery“ and “Inside No. 9“ had a baby (kinda). Good, funny, lovable and hatable characters. Good time all around.
-
61. Stay with Me
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
16/08 | I don’t think they could’ve done a better job with a censored adaption. This version is so much sweeter and tender than Addicted I’m glad they cut all the toxicity. Ughghh this is so good.
-
62. Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
20/08 | I started watching this as it was airing, so it's taken me over a year to finish this lmao. I went into it without knowing it was a romance, so I got a bit bogged down by that. Though I watched the final episodes on 1.5x speed (netflix allows me no freedom that is 2x), it was entertaining. Not bad at all, I'm just dramatic lol
-
63. Never Let Me Go
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
21/08 | I liked that when they killed someone they stayed dead lol
-
64. Be My Favorite
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
22/08 | Kawi is so annoying but I like his arc lmao
-
65. Hit Bite Love
Thai Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
24/08 | I cannot, in good conscience, rate this higher. I also cannot rate it lower bc it’s absolutely unhinged and I kinda love it. They really committed to a pseudo murder mystery and I wish they leaned into that more tbh. Objectively, this is not a good show. Subjectively, hell yeah.
-
66. Moonlight Chicken
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
25/08 | The story progression in this felt so natural. Nothing extraordinary happened, no insane coincidences or plot lines. Very grounded and real.
-
67. GAP
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
25/08 | 2x speed couldn’t make me watch this fully. I had it on in the background nearing the end.
-
68. Cupid's Last Wish
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
28/08 | I didn’t watch this before because it’s a body swap, but the reviews were right. This isn’t a deception pretending to be the other person body swap. Not my favourite, but not bad at all.
-
69. Low Frequency
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
28/08 | Does this make much sense? No. No it does not.
-
70. Sing My Crush
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
28/08 | This is cute. Also some good ass songs.
-
71. A Boss and a Babe
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
29/08 | Cher is quite the character. Not bad.
-
72. Our Skyy
Thai Drama - 2018, 5 episodes
29/08 | What a throwback. I don’t even know all of these couples. PeteKao is an absolute slay, as always.
-
73. Our Skyy 2
Thai Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
31/08 | This gets a high rating for CERTAIN couples. Also, I fucking love a crossover.
-
74. 609 Bedtime Story
Thai Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
02/09 | Alternate Dew really got the short end of the stick. A lot of the comments I saw were people complaining about this series. The pacing is kinda scuffed but it was intriguing and kept me engaged.
-
75. Stay by My Side
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
02/09 | This is cute as hell not gonna lie.
-
76. Laws of Attraction
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
03/09 | I don’t know the exact definition of camp but I wanna call this camp. Do I love it more because of the cast? Yes. Will I accept judgement? No.
-
77. Stay Still
Hong Kong Drama - 2023, 5 episodes
05/09 | The cinematography and coloration in this is beautiful.
-
78. The Promise
Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
07/09 | Childhood friends is always a hit for me. Honestly I wish there were more scenes with the child actors for a coming of age feel. The main two didn’t feel exaggerated or like caricatures. I wish they had a proper conversation abt their relationship tho, it felt sudden.
-
79. Jun & Jun
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
08/09 | Cute little drama w/ childhood friends :)
-
80. Love Class Season 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
09/09 | I really confused myself when I started watching this but then I figured out who everyone was. It wasn’t difficult I’m just stupid lol
-
81. Missing: The Other Side Season 2
Korean Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
13/09 | Finally got around to season 2. This was very good, I enjoyed most of the characters and very much appreciate no romance. ”Adopting“ a daughter isn’t really my type of storyline (I hate joy) but it wasn’t too bad.
-
82. Why R U?
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
14/09 | I prefer this to the original.
-
83. One Piece
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
14/09 | Y’know what, I’m not sure why this is on this website but this shit is GOOD.
-
84. Tie the Not
Filipino Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
16/09 | Like this wasn’t good buuut.. mamma put her all into that screaming match and I loved every second of it. 2x occasionally.
-
85. Revenant
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
19/09 | This is everything I wanted and more.
-
86. Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
20/09 | Maybe it’s because I watched this week by week (and the repetitive tropes), but this felt dragged on. Then again I did keep coming back to it. I don’t have the same burning hatred a lot of others seem to have lol
-
87. Hidden Agenda
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
25/09 | Kinda bland tbh. However, I must say this did give me some butterflies. In terms of plot though… bland.
-
88. Bon Appetit
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
29/09 | THIS HAS K FROM THE DEVIL JUDGE!!!! I WAS SO SAD WHEN HE DIED!!! NOW I GET TO SEE HIM MACKIN ON A DUDE!!
-
89. See You After Quarantine?
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
03/09 | Not bad.
-
90. Sherlock: The Untold Stories
Japanese Drama - 2019, 11 episodes
10/10 | The world knows I'm a Sherlock simp since day 1, so obviously I like a Japanese adaption. A lot of the perpetrators in this are women which is... interesting.
-
91. La Pluie
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
12/10 | I’m usually not a fan of shy main characters but it didn’t feel one sided at all. He wasn’t passive and expressed his reciprocation. They progressed naturally from mutual attraction and didn’t feel rushed. Tbh I don’t get the big whoop about your parents getting divorced but hey ho.
-
92. Hello Stranger
Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
13/10 | Pretty sweet. Something about Filipino bls always makes me cringe. I think it’s bc they speak english and I’m not supposed to understand them that’s not how this works lol
-
93. Taikan Yoho
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
13/10 | The visuals are insane I have to say.
-
94. Love in Translation
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
13/10 | It’s good in 2x speed lol. Tis cute but my time is limited on this mortal plane and I wish to utilise it efficiently (for dramas ofc).
-
95. Dinosaur Love
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
17/10 | And suddenly it’s 2019 again. (2x)
-
96. Make a Wish
Thai Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
17/10 | This is good, I wish he was genuinely just reborn as human (in the past) with his memories as an angel stored away instead of stealing someone else’s body again. Also the editing choices are… definitely choices.
-
97. Ikinokotta 6-nin ni Yoru to
Japanese Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
19/10 | Silly zombie found family nonsense.
-
98. Stuck on You
Filipino Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
20/10 | I usually dislike characters like Reb. This was not an exception. (2x)
-
99. Polyethylene Terephthalate
Japanese Drama - 2023, 3 episodes
20/10 |This is just a bittersweet movie they decided to split into 3 parts. (2x)
-
100. Gen Y
Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
31/10 | This got the Love by Chance 2 treatment (not a good thing). Only wanted to watch this for the original cast Ming/Kit. I mean there’s 3 seasons of 2Moons what’s the fixation with using these characters? They’re not all that special… 2x obviously.
