2. Triad Princess
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
- [08.12.19 ]
Aaaw the trailer looks fun and cute and I'm totally head over hills with Jasper rn ✿♥‿♥✿ - finished [29.12.19] There has been put not even a small amount of work into the script to make it interesting. Like it’s a story for absolute new drama watcher and even then it’s probably too predictable. And the romance, the characters „relationships“ are sooo unnatural since they don’t give them time to know each other but the next scene they suddenly best friends or can’t live with each other? Dude, you spoke just 10 sentences with her. Why putting money into something like this?
I just love Jasper that’s why I sat through this (while playing on my ps vita)

3. The Longest Day in Chang'an
Chinese Drama - 2019, 48 episodes
finished: [27.12.19]
This drama was as good as I expected. Eventhough the start was kinda boring, I didnt like the wolven squad arc but the productioon is awesome and I started liking our hero pretty fast. The background of the 8th Division was heartbreaking and so were all the the character deaths when they werent the main cast it still was sad. I actually ‚like‘ the emperor, well he is a jerk but he wasnt a real tyrant as I suspected. The ending was pretty well fitting and I wonder what the socond season is supposed to be about. I guess a whole new story will start were our team is forced to get back together and solve another mystery^^ I also feel like the next story will involve the imperor and the court more. I will definetly watch :)

4. Class of Lies
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
finished 1.12.19
I liked how they wrapped the drama up except the ending for the villain. Such a lazy and wrong thing to do, killing off the villain and putting the message out that a murderer deserves to be murdered for justice. Like now, do I need praise this guy who killed Beom Jin? No! Bc it’s just another killer running free. -
5. The Tale of Nokdu
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
Starting this drama I was rather expecting a light rom-com with a little drama in last few episodes or so , like Flower Crew Joseon.... but it got very melo dramatic real quick. I didnt like th female lead very much at first towards the end though I found her fine. The plot was ok, I dunno for me it was a little exagerrated as well as the bad guy, made me roll my eyes a few times. But it has a satisfying end . We got to see the marriage of main couple and even a little bit story after the marriage. I like that.
Oh and I didnt feel pity for the king not a last bit even at his end. And the thing with the mix up of royal offsprings... this wasnt even necessarry, like what, would he know that there was another baby, he would rather kill this other boy... hes just a crazy trash of a person. He derseves to be overthrone at the end.
PS: i liked the big amount of skinship/kisses between the couple, eventhough the characters felt like from a modern time.
PPS: the OST is really good! -
6. Extraordinary You
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
I'm kinda angry. Besides giving the two lead characters a happy end, we saw every supporting character from Secret reaccuring and liing happily except for Do Hwa and Ju Da?! Wtf? they couldnt even give them at least 4 seconds of the ending? Just showing that theyre at least in this new story too! -_- Personally I imagine that Do Hwa and Ju Da are probably the lead haracters in this new manhwa. I just will keep thinking so.

7. Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Overall I enjoyed it quite much. Was an easy to watch drama with pretty costumes <3 and cute love story. The ending was as always in kdramas unnecessary melodramatic in the last episode with a 1 year time skip to Happy End
-
8. Parasite
Korean Movie - 2019
Deserves all the praise. It’s artistic, serious and society critical but still entertaining. I don’t know why I I finished this thriller movie with a slight relieve on my heart and not a stuffy feeling and thriller ending tend to left me with. I didn’t expect this kind of end. I feel sorry for both families.I liked all of them. There is not one bad guy in this movie eventhough there are 2 killers imo
-
9. My True Friend
Chinese Drama - 2019, 48 episodes
Easy watch, of course there are some boring second couple filler scenes but it isnt actually as much as usual in chinese drama.
I was surprised that its actually not a romance focused drama with a buiseness setting but its just a slice of life drama filled with stories about different people and not only centered on the three leads. That said, its a very slow burning romance based on long term friendship, wich I did like :) Oh and also I was suprised that it does not have unnecessary drama, even when there are sad moments, people get ill or in an accident, it always turned out well.Later thoughts: I only hated Zhu Yi Longs Character and his mother but I liked Angela and Deng Luns characters and if I’d meet them then I’m sure they gonna help me with my family problems :D Bc they aren’t real estate agents but life coaches under cover and their payment is gratitude XD I see how unrealistic this drama is but it was still entertaining for me and at time’s heartwarming ^^
I remember my first experience with Angela, it was with “General and I” I coulntd continue bc I found everything ridiculous, the plot and the acting. After that I swore to myself to never touch anything Angela starres in, but to my annoyance it was announced that she’d be acting beside Deng Lun AND Zhu Yi Long in a new drama -_- I love the two actors and I was a little mad that she’d ruin their scenes. I was unsure for quite some time if I should watch this drama but at the end I gave in. I can’t say I was surprised of her performance, it did not improve. BUT I do think that bc her character in this drama was very simple, modern girl, there weren’t many scary/horrible expressions of her this time XD so thank god she did not ruin it for me. It was bearable XD

10. Angel's Last Mission: Love
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
This was a cute drama. i liked the female lead and ofc male lead as well. I liked it that he was an innocent puppy. Yeah the fantasy... the fantasy was cringe.
-
11. The Nokdu Flower
Korean Drama - 2019, 48 episodes
This was a good political drama without any boring parts. Some characters Inloved some I just laughed. The drama was Not perfect but still interesting.
i didnt really like the general tho. He was kinda just there and everyone worthshippped him and made him to be a genious but rarely saw him making a plan or fighting.

12. Great Men Academy
Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
oooooooooooooooooooooh. I'm so happy for them TT Eventhough I'm a little sad about Rose, but I feel like she'll live her few last years happy now. This dramas plot is so nice, so much friendship and life lessons and such cute romance. I just wish, the direcing would be better and the actors more experienced in acting. Luckily JJ and James the 'superior' ship XD were decent in acting, just the other boys were not... But this drama is still very worth it, a feel good drama.

13. Romance Is a Bonus Book
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
I really wish this one would be a mere office/wokl life drama and would give all the characters the same amount of imortance and screen time, because the 'main story' or the two lead roles were the most boring ones in this drama. Not only this but the romance itself was sooo cringey. VERY CRINGY. Even if its was ma boy Lee Jung Suk I couldn't stand those scene. Maybe I'd like the romance more if the lead had at least a little bit of chemistry. There was none! I can't judge the actress by this one role but oh boy I ddin't like seeing her and this frustratinf charachter. Everytime the female lead got in a situation it the actress looked like she is trying hard to convey some emotion also hime them at the same time to appear innocent? and clueless? And I guess this should make her cute? No, just ew. When will koreans start portraiying older women with kidas and a divorce more mature? And not try and make them look and act like a school girl.
Oher than that I enjoyed the other couple and side stroes and really really would like to see them more played out.
Oh and omg the female lead wardrobe was HORRIBLE! At time disgusting even, espc when he gave her this pretty rosegold flower earring and she wore it with a neon yellow wind breaker... made me mad. -
14. Kingdom
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
It's decent I guess.. Everything is actually pretty predictable (esp the queen faking her pregnancy *rolls eyes*). Would be better without zombies imo. It's hard enough for the prince to survive the Cho's and now even this. Zombies are really not my cup of tea. The writer wanted to do something Korean TV is not allowing aka gore then just go with the war or torture scenes haha I only like the political plot.

15. The Crowned Clown
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
A very suprising drama. I usually don't like sageuk, but this one wasn't so draggy and boring as most of them. Every episode was interessting, well, except the last 2, they suddently transfomed into typical kdrama with the popular timeskip ending.
Bbest points of this were the directing, music and Yeo Jin Goo's acting (esp when he acted two opposite characters, sadly they got rid of one of them too early). But the villians and female lead where veeery shallow as well as the relationships between the supporting characters.
But well overall it didn't feel like a waste of time, I really did enjoy most this drama (till episode 12) -
16. HIStory2: Crossing the Line
Taiwanese Special - 2018, 8 episodes
Cute scenes, good plot and the acting isn't horrible ( chemistry exists :D) side couple story is actually serious but was unnecessary and too fast resolved.
-
17. Cat's Bar
Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
This was as expected a very cute web drama with a very warm atmosphere. It has some plot holes probably due to the time restriction but it still succeeded in making me care for the characters and build an interesting love story with a hint of a complicated past life background story.
The quality is also surprisingly good and the OST as well as ALL of the cast are beautiful.
Spoiler:
:O that ending! I hope it means there’s gonna be a third season. Omg I want to know what happens to the love triangle! I feel like Hana and the cat are actually meant to be from veery long ago and then eventually end up together? Please!

18. High Heel
Korean Movie - 2014
Yeah this was unnecessary brutal and weird and bc I watched it with Luna it was also funny. Oh and we hated the ending so much.
-
19. The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion
Korean Movie - 2018
Finally got to watch it, as expected, it was interesting. Loved the fight scene between the boy and the witch, I really wished they'd kinda like each other, but I guess not? (woulve given a 10 then :D )
I look forward for part 2 -
20. Guardian
Chinese Drama - 2018, 40 episodes
Horrible production with a story that demands a big budget to be watchable ( you just need a big budget to pull off fantasy) but oh boi male leads chemistry! No one can deny
-
21. The Story of Ming Lan
Chinese Drama - 2018, 78 episodes
I can't exatly describe what it is that was actually so enjoyable and exciting in this. Its really just a familiy and cute love story. The atmosphere is rather calm there is very much dialogue and very little action. I loved wtheir verbal disputed and the leads clever mind but from one point on they chew on the same problem for too long. going in circles, felt more like they wanted to prolong the problem with the stepmother more rather than that the characters just werent able to solve it. They just didnt want to?
-
22. Green Door
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
I really loved the first half of it since it gave us a story full of plot wholes that I could fill with my theories and look forward to the background story of it all. But the climax wasn't very interesting Yes I was surprised about male lead actually being in therapy and Ma Ri being his daghter but it was missing more background story and logic for me. It got resolved too quick as well, maybe they shouldve made 10 episodes.
I did get into each clients story and felt sad at times for them, thanks to the good actors, but then again it wasnt too emotional since I felt like the characters themselfs were too shallow and not well introduced/ didn't grow on me.
Best performance was the woman who had DID or a ghost of the gangster. The worst was the male lead. really this guy looked like he needs to puke all the time and I didn't believe anything he said to his girlfriend, it felt very uncencier well as if they're strangers and he needs to say it (which is true since he only plays the role) and this is very bad.
Well the quality overall is good. -
23. The Journey
Chinese Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
This drama is surely low budget but the story and characters captured my heart. I also love female lead an the actress, I like the other characters but Ma K's acting is really bad, still, Ya Long is a nice character that grew on me.
Don't understand why there is a 'season 2' since the 12th episode is not a season finale or anything, it transitions to the 13th episode perfectly. Just an unnecessary split.
(Like these 30 min kdrama episodes -_-) -
24. The Journey 2
Chinese Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
Fucking frustrating, I hate Sha Ka. One of my most hated villians. Yes, he IS a villian a sick piece of shit no matter how 'nice' and 'caring' the drama wantedto present him.
-
25. Hello Dear Ancestors
Chinese Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
I hate this end, I hate it so so so so so much! One of the most aggrivating ending I've seen, and I've seen MANY! The end is as bad as the good the beginning was. Its like black and white.
But I dont regret watching and finishing this drama since it was so entertaining and I got attached to the characters. The first third of the drama hold a high rewatch value to me <3 -
26. Search: WWW
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
This wasnt a drama I intended to watch at all. But seeing the pretty cover on the Viki start page and being in a drama slump anyway made me click on the first episode. The music and the atmosphere captured me immadietly. I also got a suttle feministic vibe off the first episode and it was nice. I watch it mostly for the main female characters and their journey through their careers and love life and for the cinematography. But I must confess, most of the romance scenes with Jang Ki Young made me cringe (his smile looked kinda silly, I think jut really dont like his smiling face > <) and I wished for them to be over.
This drama isnt that heavy but also isnt that bubble/romantic. A perfect balance of slice of life/office genre that is easy to get through.
Oh and the fashion at times weird, but still elegent and pretty! -
27. Go Go Squid!
Chinese Drama - 2019, 41 episodes
This was a simple at times ridiculiosly bad drama I could watch without needing to pay a lot of attention. I wasnt attached to the characters since they felt mostly like a drabble and fully written characters and I found only a little chemistry between the leads bc the drama made them look like in a inapproprite relationship where mostly female lead acted like 9 yo not a 19 yo and made the male lead feel like a weirdo. The very lazy showcasing and explaining of the industry made the scenes about it hella boring. The acting of the male lead wasnt to my satisfaction.
why. was. it. a. hit. drama?! -
28. Before We Get Married
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 13 episodes
Going from being absolutely not interested in this Drama to a Little curious until totally head over the hills with it.
I saw many People watching it on the Feeds and Talking and coulndt care less but with time I felt like i needed to at least check out a few episodes. The first Episode made me wary of it. I thought to myself "shit, ist that Kind of Drama where the rich male lead jerk is cornering the female lead and high key harassing her" I wasnt excited to see such a Thing but I still gave the second and third Episode a try and my opinion changed. The characters changed and the Story became more of slice of life of Office Workers. I felt something for WeiWei and wanted to see how her love life is going to Progress. At Episode 3 I didnt care much for the male leads but later on I saw that Zhe Huan isnt that toxic man in the female leads life but her savior.
I really like the character developement, the chemistry and the friendship in this Drama.
And I'm enormously happy with this perfect ending. (and the directing was suttle and nice) -
29. Abyss
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Finished: 27.12.19
Not a planned watch. I habe my prejudices about this and avoided it but good that my friend got me into watching it because I ended up enjoying this. Im especially great for this drama to let me discover Ah. Hyo Sub. The plot was ok, the thriller aspects were actually not bad done and made me a little scared but the villians werent impressive and the fantasy as most of the time in kdrama, cringy. The romance was cute.

30. Secrets in the Hot Spring
Taiwanese Movie - 2018
Finished: 31.12.2019
This was alright. At times funny and very silly. I like silly horror. It similar to Shudder Me but the latter is still better.
I bet the geckos are his reincarnated parents.
So was „Little Princess“ a girl? Lol
