Top Five Next Binge
Just some dramas at the forefront of my mind that I want to pick up next.
Try to have a mix of slice of life, romance (both can be melo or not), thriller/mystery/psychological, comedy/romcom, to suit any mood.
Will also throw in shows that I've been interested in and sequels have been announced, so I wanna watch before the sequel airs.
