The 1k+ episode ones are the long running super hit dramas. Most dramas underperform though and end at ~200-300 eps lol
F4? BoF? Lol I do remember there being an Indian teen drama remake of that.

Yes lmao the male lead would be married to the FL but some dumb reason the writer would make the ML marry someone else as well. Usually the best friend or sister of the FL and that makes up a major plot point. I could name you like SO many Indian drama that has done this just recently. One of the worst aspect of this is the ML is generally a cheating scumbag and SO unlikeable.

Twinkling Watermelon (I adored this drama so much), the Good Bad Mother... and I can't remember lol I overestimated the number of dramas I loved this year LOL There was SO many dramas I was looking forward to this year but they just were so incredibly disappointing to say the least like Uncanny Counter S2 (dropped), Dr Romantic S3 (forced myself to finish it), Strong Woman Kang Nam Soon (dropped), A Time Called You (inferior to the original Taiwanese version) etc.
I was watching Not Others as well, I finished the ep 1 and put it on hold till it ends and then I started hearing only bad things about it.
King the Land was... absolutely Bollywood-esque lmao it was so cringe, their chemistry was great but so wasted. Even Junho couldn't save it.
I've seen Hospital Playlist, it's defo overhyped. It's a fun show but this one horribly forced romance storyline ruined the show for me esp because it made zero sense.
Itaewon Class...I'm sorry but I'm just not a PSJ fan.I haven't liked a single drama with him lol I blame his misogynistic ass.

Oh I cannot do that at all. Even 1 hr long dramas is too much for me unless I'm incredibly interested in the drama lol and sometimes it takes me 1-2 days to finish 1 ep T_T
Penthouse... so tragic :/

As much as I love this show it really wasted the younger cast tbh ESP Kim Dohoon. I wish it got a few more eps and they spent that time developing them esp Kanghoon's character because he literally got nothing the whole drama.

Where? He hasn't been cast in anything new.

Indian dramas are not like Thai dramas at all. Thai dramas are more serious. Indian dramas on the other hand is like over the top, badly written, badly directed, badly edited mess. They're like telenovelas, if you've seen the LatAm/Filipino Telenovelas then you'd know how Indian dramas are like.

Also Indian dramas LOVE to recycle storylines, tropes and trends, so many Indian dramas are so similar to each other. Currently the Indian drama trend rn is love triangle (often bigamy, even tho it's illegal lmao) between a man and 2 sisters and the 2 sisters fight over the man like their life depend on it even though the man's usually toxic and a walking red flag.

Moving was really good. Top 3 of the year imo (altho this is not saying a lot because 2023 was a bad year for Kdrama imo I liked less than 5-6 dramas this yr LOL). The only problem I had with it was they put the younger characters in the backburner from mid-way onward and put the whole focus on the adults. This esp harmed Kim Do Hoon's character who was the least developed of the 3. But otherwise it was a thriller/sci-fi drama done well.

I'd honestly watch it if not for its length lol Every ep is the length of a full movie. I'm not a binge watcher so I'd die lol

The Penthouse should've ended at S1 but the producers tried to milk it and by the end it lost a chunk of its viewers as well.

Incredible chemistry between the two.

This drama tests my patience.

Soonjung (the adoptive mother) is such a shitty person tbh she should've told them both the truth from the get go. She should've told Chaewoon about her birth mother as soon as she was mature enough to understand and she should've told Jung Won by seeking her out. IDC I don't like her. She's soo selfish for keeping the mother and daughter apart for her own selfishness. Did she think Chaewoon would abandon her as soon as she found out about her birth mother??? Like how fking low do you think of your own daughter even??? Chaewoon has proven her loyalty to her so many times already but this lady still didn't tell her about Jungwon like omg I'm so pissed off.

She reminds me of Jennie.

They look hot but the villain is so creepy and nasty I don't wanna ship him with anyone except death or prison. Instead I'll ship her with the ML. The FL can stay single until she mentally ages and starts acting like an actual adult instead of a toddler.

Philippines.

I'm rewatching this because I need SugaMone in my life again. We need more dramas with a couple like them. One of the healthiest depiction of romance ever tbh

Have seen the first one? That didn't have a good writing either, but this makes the first one look like a masterpiece.

The show is a trainwreck, that's what happened. Writing is absolutely horrendous and the characterisation of the FL is so bad that it completely ruins her chemistry with anyone. Both the ML and the villain has palpable chemistry with the FL's mother more than her due to this.

Oh dropping it for real now. It keeps getting worse. Like writing is absolutely non-existent atp I mean even the OG one didn't have the best writing but it was actually really fun to watch despite that.But this one is just a complete mess. The FL has such terrible characterisation, a full grown adult acting as if she's 12 yo is NOT cute. They keep wasting screen-time on filler BS like that grandmother-barista storyline (yes that's filler BS because it's so outrageously unrelated to the main story). And oh lord the villain is boring. Outside of his looks he literally has nothing going on for him in this drama,he has the same predatory expression the whole time he appears on screen. At least the villain in the first one actually showed range of emotions. In this one he just stares at everyone like he wants to violate them.

I know rating it 1.5/10 is harsh but I am especially pissed at this show for ruining something with so much potential.

It got heavier after around ep ~13-14 but was a romcom till then.

Okay bye. I'mma sob now because what'll I watch next week onward. There's no other light romcom airing T__T

Yes I understand it'll get dirty initially in these type of drama. But I'm hoping the writer subverts expectations and tropes and wraps up that antagonism sooner rather than later and lets the two brother come to an understanding. I liked how the writers of Chocolate handled this, they let the two brothers fight it out initially but come to an understanding and shifted the focus of their resentment toward the elders in the family. I want that to happen here as well. They need to get over their ingrained competitiveness and toxicity and turn on family because that's one hell of a toxic family with a cycle of abuse that goes back to the Grandparents.

Your POV makes no sense. You watch an Adult rated drama and then complain over adult topics being exposed. If you don't feel comfortable with it then don't watch A/18+ rated dramas.

True. In SK itself though she's considered legendary.
