I was dreading watching the final four episodes because it was made to sound so devastating but it turned out to be quite romantically tragic. Although not the height of cinema; I really liked this series and the story they told. It has a kind of (unpolished) charm about it that I hope to see from more series in the future.
It’s funny that the series with the lowest budgets and that are unpolished have all the heart and commitment to character whereas the series with the best productions do not. If only we could combine the two, we might have consistently stellar dramas again.
In the end I am happy I watched this because it introduced me to the actress who plays Mudmee. I’ll be looking out for her future projects. I’d like to see what she does with a lead role.
Agreed I like the toxic/messy portrayal of korn and tonkla's relationship....we mainly like it because it is portrayed…
I think they will romanticise that relationship later on as it’s clear Tonkla still and will always love Korn but I’m ok with that because it’s a portrayal that already has so much nuance. It’s bound to get messier but as long as they keep the quality of writing, it should be a good watch.
So far, I’d say this is how you do toxic/messy relationships. Really enjoying the intricate storytelling. This is what I wanted Absolute Zero and Only Friends to be.
I absolutely love articles like this. Great topic and an entertaining read. Typically I don’t watch dramas rated lower than a 7 unless they are super short or the description grabs me. I find that the dramas rated between 7.0 and 7.9 deserve a chance as usually the reason they are rated so low is arbitrary or something that is not a deal breaker for me.
What the Duck S2 is the only one I’ve seen on your list and I concur with your review. It was truly terrible. 😅
I might check out Princess Princess D (as I’ve seen Cool Boys Only High and liked it), Boys and Bro and Me.
I liked the structure of this a lot and that they didn’t try to fit it into the typical 40 episode length. Once the story was finished, they finished. Now, if only we can combine this type of structured storytelling with strong performances and engaging plot.

This one was fun. People are really creative. I’ve noticed a few amazing profiles myself. And as always, the humour on their pages are on point.
