"As One" is an excellent film not ground breaking in 'Buddy Movie' terms but an excellent show case for the leads - Bae Doo Na and Ha Ji Won.

"Our Little Sister" is a gentle tour de force that's well worth a watch.

"Canola" I enjoyed except the twist was a little too obvious too early and yet it still developed into a winner.

Which makes me want to try your other recommendations, thanks.

Yeah romance is usually the lure but I give most things a try. I ought to add procedural crime dramas to that list they are usually "so bad technically I just can't bear to watch them".

My other problem is where interesting shows just lose steam and I get bored and drop them. Once I'm bored it's very hard to go back to them and finish.

It's almost always worth giving anything a couple of episodes. Sometimes I just know it's not for me straight away. Horror (especially possession), preternatural Serial Killers, medical dramas, politics all of these have to be really special to pique my interest enough for me to watch them.

Your obviously a glutton for punishment Robert. One scene can make me drop a show I've been enjoying one episode from the last.

I've watched 205 drama's and dropped 182. I also have 105 On Hold which usually means eventually drop.
I used to watch all sorts of terrible TV/Movie nonsense till the bitter end until, for a number of reasons, I took 12 years off TV.
Since then I have no problem dropping any program/film/series if it isn't working for me then...BYE!
It's just TV drop it if you don't like it.

By the end of the first episode I found I disliked pretty much every character in this show apart from Hye Yeong's mum and Jojo's bestie. I don't think I'll bother with any more.

Not liking the ML is a problem there, I only have a 3 or 4 episodes to go so I might be able to cope. We'll see, I have many shows on my list that I almost finished before I couldn't take any more.

Excellent rant! 3 episodes is more than enough.

It's a bit difficult to say really as I find it very hard to finish most of her dramas - due to script and co-stars.
'Master's Sun' & 'Thank You' though the latter has plenty of cringe moments. I enjoyed 'The Greatest Love' first time round but found it more of a struggle on second watch - she really is treated terribly.
'Missing' was most enjoyable too.
'Pasta' - couldn't take the dreadful man-child ML
'Jealousy Incarnate' as above.
'When the Camelia Blooms' I almost finished but serial killers are meh! and I just didn't like the ML's character. GHJ is enough to make me give more chances to dramas but I still have my limits.
She's fun when she's on Um Tube too.

I know, right?

I'm a big fan of Gong Hyo Jin but this ended up as another one of hers that I couldn't finish. The inappropriate physical contact was too much for me in the end, it just killed the 'romance' and thus my interest. Good review, thanks.

Yay!

Down the Hill, down the valley and then down the SINK HOLE to the Land of Oh Dearie Me!
I think I'll run with @manicmuse's review.

Well that went down hill fast..

Totally agree on the don't have to be a serial killer most people with Anti-Social Personality disorders aren't of course. Human isn't defined by the condition of someone's mental health for that way lies Eugenics and we know how that turned out last century.

"They can live a normal life too, like everybody else" - nope, that's the whole point of the condition/diagnosis - they can't, even with treatment it's a really hard ask.

From the NHS UK website:-

"Evidence suggests behaviour can improve over time with therapy, even if core characteristics such as lack of empathy remain. "

Moon Chae Won is a favourite of mine, so I'm sure I'll have another go at it sooner or later. I'm not into serial killers but I'm up for a good romance.

I'm a bit confused by your review, if one of the protagonists is a psychopath surely that means they lack emotion, empathy and a conscience? So how then can they be "hurt like us(emotionally)"? and feel love and guilt. I mean they can be good at acting and manipulation but the whole point is they don't actually feel it. Am I misunderstanding your point?
(I've not watched it because 'serial killer' is not my bag)

Thanks and there was I all proud at learning a Roblox reference.

I might need some help translating this one into old fogey speak.
oof = out of office? ouch? my youngest daughter says Roblox?
SLS = ?
lmao = laughing my ass off?

Ah! Now I get it. Not a "WTF!" but a "Right On!"
