201. Blueming

Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes

8.5

Started & Finished around mid-March '26.
202. Head over Heels

Korean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes

Started in March '26. DROPPED after completing the first 4 episodes.

It simply bored me. The acting was great and there were a few good scenes here and there but unfortunately nothing was really gripping me the rest of the time.
203. Stranger Season 2

Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

Started in March '26. Currently watching. Sloooooowly. Not rated yet.

Why watch the sequel when the first season didn't really satisfy me ?
Well, firstly I enjoyed the 2 main actors' interactions, but honestly because I use this second season as a sleeping pill the nights when I can’t fall asleep ?
204. The Village Barber

Korean TV Show - 2026, 10 episodes

9.5

Started end March & Finished in May '26.

Such a sweet and delightful show ! This is exactly what was sadly missing from "Rented in Finland".
205. To My Beloved Thief

Korean Drama - 2026, 16 episodes

209. Yumi's Cells

Korean Drama - 2021, 14 episodes

8.5

Started in May & Finished beginning of June '26.

I was eagerly waiting for the 3rd and final season to be completely over so I could finally start and binge watch this series from the beginning.
I'm glad I watched this show. I liked it but I was also so nervous and stressed while watching. I had to stop multiple times during some episodes. I'm quite surprised this series had such a trigger effect on me. Tbh I'm still processing and trying to figure out why I was so reactive during this watch...
Maybe season 2 will be less "triggering" for me ;-)
210. Step for You

Korean Movie - 2018

7.5

Started & Finished in May '26.

Cute short BL Film. Sweet little watch. Good acting. Cinematography could have been better.
211. Two Lights: Relumino

Korean Special - 2017, 1 episode

8.5

Started & Finished in May '26.

Lovely Special. Talented cast. Moving.
212. Yumi's Cells Season 2

Korean Drama - 2022, 14 episodes

9.0

Started & Finished in June '26.

This 2nd season was less "triggering" than the first season and thus I enjoyed it a lot more.
213. Yumi's Cells Season 3

Korean Drama - 2026, 8 episodes

9.5

Started & Finished in June '26.

Oh my... I tried to go slow but I binge-watched that one so fast ! I LOVED that 3rd season so much.
My only complaint: this 3rd installment was WAY TOO SHORT !
The first two seasons had 14 episodes each and this last one was merely 8 episodes long. This final season could have easily benefited from (at least) 2 more episodes as the last episodes felt a bit rushed compared to the beginning.
214. The Tale of Lady Ok

Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

Started in June '26. Currently watching. Not rated yet.
