What a lovely journey indeed. It felt like watching poetry, sipping a beverage in front of a magnificent view. Somehow I did not expect how much I would love this drama, it was deeper than I thought it would be. All the individual stories were beautifully told and touching in their own way. As a huge fan of Kim Jae Yeong I hope we'll get season two soon, and more screentime with him, including his backstory and how he fell for FL. I really want to see their romance blossom. Very much recommended to everyone who loves traveling, beautiful scenery and slice-of-life dramas. 9/10 from me for enjoyment.

It's a total cheesy romcom, 100% happy ending for sure. No worries.

You should watch 'It's okay, it's love'. It's an old drama (2014), but my favorite to date. It's so good. Do Kyung Soo has a supporting main role in that (don't want to spoil too much), and his acting is fantastic there. Give it a shot!

I tried watching my roommate is a gumiho three times and dropped it three times due to lack of chemistry. I'm not saying it's her fault she overacts, maybe she was made to do so by the director, but it's not my cup of tea. I have seen her in serious non-romantic roles, these were good, which is why I am saying I just don't like her in romance dramas where she usually plays the same kind of annoying character. So, if you love her, good for you, but let me have my opinion without being insulting.

Contrary to many others, I actually really love this drama. It's my third time watching it. It's very soothing and sort of gives me energy at the same time? Perhaps because I can very much relate to FL. I quit my job because I couldn't take working 80 hour weeks anymore, I was so exhausted and felt like I lived solely for my job. But then Covid hit and it was impossible for me to get a new job for a while. So I felt like I was hovering in the air somewhat, spiraling into something like depression, only not really, because I was still functioning? It's hard to explain. What helped me through this period was craft, art and DIY'ing things around my small space. So yeah, this drama really hits home. Now if only I had had a Seo Min Suk around to help and fall in love with haha This drama was what made me fall for Kim Jae Yeong, way before he got his big break. So I come back to this whenever I need some perspective and just positive vibes :) Unfortunately the subs available are really bad, often incorrectly translated and the grammar's wrong. Someone started subbing it on youtube with good subs, it but stopped after episode 4. Well, luckily I understand enough korean to make sense of it, but it does take away from enjoyment. still 8.5/10 from me.

The matchmakers was good as far as I remember, not a favorite of mine, and I don't think I finished it, actually, but watched until almost the end and I liked it.

I wasn't sure what I'd expect, I am at episode 4 and it feels like I watched an entire drama already. It's really fast paced, a lot of things happening and several time-skips. So far I am loving it, but it's definitely on the darker side as there's a lot of injustice and almost every episode ends with the death of one or several people. Just something to be aware of. There are sweet moments as well, but the drama definitely overshadows it. Not a romcom. I am curious to see how everything unfolds and I hope it won't be too heartbreaking along the way.

I'm just bitter we didn't get a single kiss, peck or even long hug from the main couple. Especially after they were really dating I'd expect some kind of show of affection...

Initially she doesn't actually like anyone because she considers them fictional characters. So they're basically friendzoned and she's just generally nice to everyone. That changes as she adapts to the thought of staying inside the novel though.

LOL agreed omg, SML is such a sweetheart. Han Se as well, actually. I did love ML as well, though, so for once I was okay even with Second Lead Syndrome.

Surprisingly entertaining and with deep messages. Yes, this show definitely has flaws, the production value isn't as high as with other shows and especially the editing (cut and sound) feels a bit disjointed. It's a High School romcom full of clichés and the acting mediocre. It's perfect for a light watch, though, and I loved some of the messages in this. Definitely a good coming-of-age series, if you enjoy a bit of cheese and won't take everything too seriously (like, what was the Jebi's room-make-over scene? lol Ridiculous but ok...). And I wish they'd have shown the other characters in the end as well. I don't think i'll watch it again, but a 7/10 for entertainment overlooking the many flaws as it's a low-budget production.

It actually doesn't really happen. ML is really smart and adapts to situations quickly, so he picks up on how to dress by himself very quickly. It's really a breath of fresh air this drama. (albeit being old lol)

"Moon Lovers" definitely if you like a bit of heartbreak, "Mr Queen" is fantastic but more on the comedy side, "Arthdal Chronicles" is fantasy but also big on the feelings, "Splash Splash Love" is a great one-shot (more like a movie), "Moon Embracing the Sun" is old, but has beautiful cinematography and great acting, it caused quite a stir back when it aired. "Queen for seven days" is tragic, but certainly a great drama. Personally I also quite enjoyed "Secret Royal Inspector" and "Missing Crown Prince" is also good, even though some things annoyed me. There are a lot of historical dramas that are supposedly good but were too cheesy for me (f.e. Love in the moonlight, 100 Days my Prince)...

I wouldn't say unnecessary, it just becomes very emotional. I personally liked episode 15 and 16, but you'll have to be prepared for a bit of heartbreak. Still one of my favorite dramas to date.

What do you want from a historical drama? I can give you some recs if you like, I watched a ton... I saw in your list you mostly watch new dramas (2016 or newer), while the vibe might be different in older productions, there's some really good ones. My favorite oldie is 'Queen And I', it's a time travel drama, but has quite a few historical parts, and BIG FEELS. The beginning may seem a bit difficult to get through, but it's really worth it imo!

Your comment's pretty rude, even if you don't care for an actor's appearance, you don't have to throw around such insults. Personally I think ML is extremely handsome, he already caught my eye in Suspicious Partner. FL is beautiful, too, her aura in Run On is on another level. So year, to each their own, I just wish people wouldn't be this mean.

I did like the songs in OSN, but every song loses its charm if it's repeated over and over and over, often several times within one episode. I think both dramas would've made exceptionally beautiful movies or short dramas. Not enough meat for full dramas in my opinion. But I hope you'll keep enjoying them :)

Yeah thanks, I'm at that part now and they just started dating, but I've decided to take a break from it for now.

Yah, it was exactly the same for One Spring Night. Same director, writer and music composer. Endless slow-mo scenes, repetition of songs over and over and literally no plot. I usually love slow slice-of-life realistic romance dramas, but I couldn't with these two. Dropped both.

I really liked Kim Jae Won in Hotel King, the role was perfect for him. It wasn't a very difficult character to portray though, so I cannot say much about his acting. I am not sure I'll be watching this, though, both Something in the Rain and Spring Night were a snooze fest for me personally and it's the same writer...
