OVERALL
Interesting drama that you can easily watch, one episode after another, within a week, completely addicted by the action. Watch if 1) You like strong female leads, 2) You're looking for a new cute actor to obsess about, 3) You want to watch a fictional account of North-South Korean relations. Don't watch if 1) You can't stand when the male lead is a jerk with the female lead for half of the show, 2) You have low tolerance for nice people suffering and/or dying, 3) You don't like surreal, cartoony characters.

THE STORY
Let me start by saying that I like shows that allow us to have a look at North Korea, even if that look might be completely misleading. Also, let me say that although there might be no truth in it, I like the positive, promising outlook that this show offers of the relationship between North and South Korea, something a lot nicer than the neverending relationship strain that is constantly being reflected in other shows and the media. That being said, there's more to this drama to make it quite good: a strong female lead, a maturing male lead, a very adorable second couple (almost better than the main couple), some thrilling action scenes and an interesting love story. The male lead is a jerk for about half the show, but since he redeems himself, that's okay. The bad guy is a complete nutcase that has no life or purpose other than being a bad guy, but since you're quite happy with where that leads him, that's also kind of okay. Some sad incidents happen over the course of the story that make you wonder if they were really necessary...and that's the main thing that irked me. That, and the excessive aegyo of the female lead in some scenes, but that's another story.

THE ACTING
I was very impressed by the secondary actors in this drama. Jo Jung Suk was fabulous and won a free, one-way ticket into my Top-actors list. Lee Joon Yi was also very good in her role, and especially in portraying the emotions that someone undergo in her character's situation. I also have to say, for once, there was a non-Korean actress actually acting well, Samantha Daniel. Perfect rendition of a psychopath. Although I love Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won, their performances seemed less impressive simply because their roles were not much different from others they had played, but they had great chemistry.

THE MUSIC
Taeyeon, baby! Her song, Missing you like crazy, was absolutely amazing for the show, and instantly found its way to my mp3 and my list of best drama OSTs. Instrumental tracks were also quite good, particularly one called Hang Ah's dream.

Good, moving drama. Watch if 1) You're looking for a show that will inspire you and make you think, 2) You like medical dramas. Don't watch if 1) You don't like dramas that make you cry, 2) You need the male lead to be strong and manly, like the typical Kdrama protagonist.

THE STORY
Good doctor is not the drama that will make you flutter. The main protagonist is not a heroic rebel or a pretentious chaebol, the other characters are not always likeable, the love scenes remain very PG-rated and the comedy is not omnipresent. Instead, it's a drama that will make you cry. A lot. It's not a show to watch to be entertained, but to think, to challenge your prejudices and rigid thoughts. The portrayal of an autistic individual is quite well-done, and the problems he encounters in order to live the life he wants are realistic. The love story may seem surreal and difficult to believe for some, but reflects a very honorable opinion, that unique individuals also have the right to be loved, and not strictly by similar people. The characters grow throughout the story and the ending is very satisfying. I believe the show could have done without all the drama surrounding the administration of the hospital and some aspects of the story were quite long while others, more important or interesting, were too rushed, but the main components of the story were carefully thought through, so it's alright.

THE ACTING
Many actors did an amazing job in this drama, several of which were child actors, but even if it wasn't the case, for Joo Won alone, this would still earn a 10. I cannot say that he had much chemistry with Moon Chaewon because there wasn't much 'passion' between their characters, but the couple was cute and visually compatible, and he played his role so perfectly, I think if I hadn't known him before, I would have thought that he was an autistic actor.

THE MUSIC
The songs of the OST had funny lyrics and didn't get to me, but boy were the instrumental tracks awsome, a perfect match for the mood of the show. I recommend googling them. I know I did, and still listen to them when I'm down and unmotivated.

REWATCH VALUE
Rewatched, but only to confirm that it was a nice show and that it had made me cry buckets. I might rewatch it again, but it's not on the top of my list because of its tear-gas quality.

OVERALL
One of these few dramas that successfully combine romance, suspense, comedy, drama, character development and social critique. Watch if 1) like me, you're a sucker for dramas that inspire you and make you think, 2) You've seen a few average dramas and you want something a little better. Don't watch if 1) You have a hard time with characters that bear flaws, 2) You nitpick about small plot mistakes.

THE STORY
Gripping tale, made of plenty of plot twists and enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat, uncertain about where the story will take you, from beginning to end. The characters evolve throughout the drama - and not just the main protagonists, almost all of them - but the best thing is, they are all relatively 'complex', which in my own speech means that they all have flaws and/or vulnerabilities, but all end up getting some kind of positive emotion from you, if not love, at least pity or understanding. The story is also one that makes you think about the world and how you've been living, with some quite deep lines and conversations. There might be a few plot elements that don't seem very realistic, and the romances might seem a little bland, but there's been a lot worst in Kdramaland, trust me.

THE ACTING
All the cast did a pretty good job in this drama. I just can't give a 10 because I thought there wasn't much chemistry between Lee Boyoung and Lee Jongsuk, and it was a shame, it would have made it perfect.

THE MUSIC
Quite good, well chosen. My personal favorite: Every Single Day, by Echo. Rock or acoustic version, the song's cool.

REWATCH VALUE

OVERALL
Average show that's enough to pass time but not enough to make it to any top list. Watch if 1) You want a show with some action/suspense, 2) You have nothing better to watch. Don't watch if 1) You like strong/mature female leads, 2) You have low tolerance for cliched evil girls who cling onto main leads with their lives and all the bad tricks they can come up with.

THE STORY
Let me warn you, the synopsis is not at all what the show is about. Or yes, it is, until around episode 5. If the entire show had centered around that plot, it probably would have been way better. But unfortunately, the writer(s) decided not to do things that way. Instead, the show centers around the struggle of the two main characters to expose the wrongdoings of a big company. At least, in theory, that's what the show is about. In reality, the show is about the main guy getting fooled, again and again, by the bad girl of the series, and the main girl running after him until she ends up getting fooled too. They sort of work to find the truth and ruin the bad guy, but then, they spend a lot more time having no idea what to do and naively falling into traps.The ending is absolutely surreal, almost cartoony. On the good side, the beginning of the show manages to suck you in; half-way through the drama you get some pretty cute scenes between the main leads, and every now and then there's a good plot element to keep you hanging.

THE ACTING
Well, so far I'm not super convinced with Joe Cheng's acting. Sometimes, yes, a lot more times, no. Amber Guo left a better impression on me, but I wasn't feeling much chemistry between him and her, even though there might have been sparks in two-three scenes.

THE MUSIC
Kind of good. I liked the main theme, and some other tracks seemed alright. I will google the soundtrack.

REWATCH VALUE
Mmmm....I don't think so. Maybe for the few couple scenes that made the show, but I was just too frustrated while watching to think of going through it again.

OVERALL
Good drama that achieves relatively more balance than other action shows that try to merge comic, dramatic or romantic elements to their plots. Watch if 1) You want to see a Taiwanese drama that isn't predominantly a love story, 2) You're looking for something addicting. Don't watch if 1) You like flawless plots and characters, 2) You like closed, everyone-is-happy-and-in-a-couple endings.

THE STORY
First Taiwanese show I dive into that isn't dominantly a love story, and I'm quite surprised. Without being anything out of this world, the plot was relatively coherent and the action scenes, relatively well-done. The drama has enough suspense and cliffhangers to keep you watching, but still leaves room for a complicated love square, some comedy and a few dramatic scenes. The two main characters are well-developed, and at least one of the two main girls is likeable. There's also a good play with the title of the drama, Black and White, because at least one character starts out seeing everything in two colors, and ends up having to recognize that much of the world is actually grey. There's a few things that irked me while watching. Sometimes, characters randomly appear at some places to find clues and there's no explanation as to how they got there. Characters betray others or act in a certain way without any explanation. Plot elements are presented once, and then they never go back to them. The ending, without being incoherent or overly dramatic, is also a bit dissatisfying.

THE ACTING
Vic Zhou and Ivy Chen were great and had terrific chemistry. Janine Chang was good; Mark Chao, every now and then. Overall a good cast, well-fitted for their roles.

THE MUSIC
So-so. Good for the show, not a good match with my tastes though.

REWATCH VALUE
Definitely rewatchable.

OVERALL
Great drama. Watch if 1) You're looking for a historical where the love story complements the political intrigue (usually the romance is secondary and/or disconnected from the main plot), 2) You like strong female leads, 3) You're up for something truly dramatic. Don't watch if 1) You have low tolerance for deaths, 2) You can't stand when the guy's mean to the girl, 3) You don't like when things don't go the way they should (but I won't say more).

THE STORY
From the beginning, you know the story's not going to be a comedy, because it's meant to be a Korean Romeo and Juliet. Also, if you google the part of Korean history the drama focuses on, you know it's not going to be a fun ride. Indeed, the story is sad, depressing and frustrating. But it's just SO good. The beginning focuses on the love story while the intrigue gradually grows from background to front line, then from the turning point to the end the intrigue remains constant. The love stories are either passionate or touching (or both); the characters, coherent and well-written, are the ones leading all story elements with their decisions and personality. There's a few characters you can't help but like, and not one character that you can only hate, even though I can tell you there's at least one you'll wish dead most of the time. Everything feels real and is executed flawlessly. The ending is surprisingly satisfying, at least for me it was.

THE ACTING
Fab, fab, fab. But I was expecting it. Moon Chaewon and Park Shihoo are not part of my list of favorite actors for nothing. Their chemistry was no joke. I saw Hong Soohyun here for the first time, and she left a good impression. Song Jong Ho was great too. But seriously, I think all cast did an excellent job. The selection was very well done, because not only do they play their roles perfectly well, but their interactions seem so real.

THE MUSIC
Innovative and addicting. Innovative because in addition to very nice instrumental tracks, there's two-three songs in Italian (I think), which is very uncommon in Korean dramas, and they're dramatic enough to fit perfectly well with the show. Addicting because the soundtrack stays stuck in your head, and you end up humming it at the randomest times.

REWATCH VALUE
Rewatched. Twice. But I can't give it a 10, because the drama's so heavy that a part of me never wants to rewatch it, even if it's so good. Of course, that part of me always loses against the one that is dying to watch it again, but...

OVERALL
Good show, that would have been even better without the unnecessary drama added up in the end. Watch if 1) You're looking for a coherent love story, 2) You want to see sparks between the actors and something more than kisses, 3) You can handle uninteresting peripheral plots (by watching or skipping, up to you) for the sake of the main couple. Don't watch if 1) You can't stand cliched dramatic elements, 2) You like strong female leads (even though she's not that bad), 3) You're looking for romantic comedy more than comic romance, since there's not that much comedy in here.

THE STORY
There's sort of a pattern I've been noticing in some Taiwanese romcoms. Even if 90% of the show is light, fun and sweet, they just have to go and put some drama at the very last couple of episodes, which they don't resolve in a reasonable time to provide a good, rounded-up ending, but they drag on to the last few minutes, resulting in a rushed, often dissatisfying ending. In some cases, it's still okay, but in this one, probably because the dramas so short, I feel like the ending pretty much brought down the show. Also, there's just too many characters to hate or not care about. If you forget these two factors though, Love keeps going is quite good. The main characters are a bit more developed than the protagonists of the usual romcom, which means that they're more understandable and real. Their relationship gradually evolves from nothing to something, and they have several cute, sweet and sexy scenes together.

THE ACTING
Pretty good. Mike He had not convinced me in Sunny Happiness, but here he was great. Cindy Wang I saw for the first time in here and she's probably in my list of Taiwanese actors to follow now. They had good chemistry too. Supportive actors did a good job, even though their characters were not the most likable.

THE MUSIC
Only for Cindy Wang's song, Don't Cry (Bu ku), I give it a 7. The other songs didn't leave much of an impression on me.

REWATCH VALUE
Until episode 10, definitely rewatchable. I would just stop it before all the drama.

OVERALL
Very good drama, one of those that make you think and leave you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Watch if 1) You're looking for hot guys, 2) You want something addicting, 3) You have a strong heart. Don't watch if 1) you're looking for a love story (quasi-inexistent in here), 2) You're very easily scared.

THE STORY
I have to start by saying that my review is entirely biased by the fact that I am one of the most fearful people on the face of the Earth.That being said, objectively and subjectively speaking, this show is awesome. When the story starts, you think that it's taking one path, but soon realize that it's taking an entirely different one. Far from feeling cheated, you realize it makes perfect sense, because the drama asks one question from episode one, are monsters born or created, and its premise is to leave you to decide of the answer when the show's over by making your own interpretations of all the events and of the ending. There is no particular flaw or mistake in the plot elements of the story. All characters have their distinct personality and a dark side that slowly comes to light. Their interactions are really important, words are chosen with lots of consideration. Many philosophical questions are raised. The purpose of the drama is to make you think, more than anything else. It's deep, it's intriguing, it's terrifying, it's addicting, it's everything a show should be, but I personally had a hard time while watching it. Spent many sleepless nights.

THE ACTING
Very good acting. At the time, I think many of the actors were not quite known, but now they've played in many dramas (Kim Woo Bin, Sung Joon, Kim Young Kwang...). What's great about this drama is given how complex the characters are, how everyone seems so innocent at first and then slowly reveal a dark side, and given the story and the range of emotions that they go through, the roles demand some skills, and none of the actors failed to deliver.

THE MUSIC
Great music for the show. Many songs are in English and they fit right in. Being a fan of classical music, I knew Vivaldi's Nisi Dominus before White Christmas. Haven't been able to listen to it after this drama though. The show converted it into one of the freakiest tunes.

REWATCH VALUE
It's so good, that unless you're fearful; you'll watch it more than once. And even if you are, you might end up watching it again, like me, to show its awesomeness to someone else. But after a while, it might lose charm, since a lot of it rests on the element of surprise, that you won't have anymore.

Great drama that is absolutely not excellent, but no one cares. Watch if 1) You're looking for a first Korean Drama (was my first, and it's the best way to start), 2) You're looking for something hilarious, 3) You're looking for a good love story, 4) You like fairy-tale endings. Think twice if 1) You don't like fantasy elements, 2) You have low tolerance for screaming (one character only screams), 3) You don't like stories with many loopholes. I would still recommend it though.

THE STORY
Another switching-body plot? Another rich guy-poor girl story? Yeah, it's maybe not that interesting when you look at it this way. Plus, when you actually watch the show, you see that it is far from being the most coherent one out there. Lots of loopholes. But I didn't care, and I'm guessing, by how famous it got, that many didn't. The quality of the drama is not in the innovativeness or the coherence of the plot, but the absolute genius of the script. The comedy in this show is real Fun, with a capital F, each character is characterized by their own tag lines. The laughs are counterbalanced with some justified tears, and the tag lines are counterbalanced with a few pretty deep (sometimes too deep for my simple understanding) ones. The story is full of ups and downs, switching body, then back, then switch again; hate you, then not so much, then again, then like you; but what matters is that everything is so addicting that you can't possibly stop watching. The romantic scenes get really sweet and cute, the sad parts make you cry, the ending is magic. What is not to like about this drama? Sometimes imperfection is more than good enough, and that's exactly the case with Secret Garden.

THE ACTING
Fabulous acting from most actors, except Philip Lee, the action school director. The main actors are absolutely stunning. For the switching-body plot, actors bear all the responsibility; if they're not good enough it fails to work for the audience. But Hyunbin and Ha Jiwon were awesome. They had each other's roles down to the mannerisms and facial expressions. The chemistry was also pretty good between them. Yoon Sang Hyun as Oscar was pure gold, and other supportive actors did not fall short in acting.

THE MUSIC
Well, you had the odd song that just wasn't doing it for me (eg. You are my everything, Scar), but most of the rest was awsome. Half the OST ended up in my mp3, and I still listen to it every now and then. That woman, by Baek Jiyoung is probably in my list of favorite drama songs, and many instrumental tracks are quite good, including Secret Garden, My Darling Lime and Mystery Garden.

REWATCH VALUE
Rewatched. A gazillion times.

OVERALL
Excellent drama that you should watch ASAP. What's great about it is the blend of the historical and romcom genres. There's action, there's history, there's fantasy, there's comedy, there's romance; a little of everything for everyone, so no need to hesitate, just dive in. Maybe think about it if you don't like love stories. But it doesn't hurt to watch one once in a while, and this one's worth it.

THE STORY
In three words: cute, interesting and fun. Although the premise is not very original, the story is flawless and incorporates enough innovation to make you forget it. For one thing, although it's a time-travel plot, forget the hundreds of clichéd jokes and plot elements typically recycled in these types of stories. In here, the guy who time travels is so smart, he can infer and deduce how to do things, and faces all situations with complete calmness. Forget the happy-go-lucky girl with little backbone and neurons. Here, the girl is good-humoured, but she's also playful (best part of her, I think) and perseverant. Their interactions are absolutely addicting, but what's great about the drama is also the interactions between them and other characters, and the back and forth between present day and past. All conflicts and complications are coherent and understandable, and the humor is good. Nothing to complain about, except that the show was too short.

THE ACTING
First lead role for Yoo In Na and she did great, even though it wasn't clear just how much was acting and how much was her being herself. Ji Hyun Woo joined my A-list. I'll be watching out for him now. He's good. Also, their chemistry was very palpable, and that's not just me saying it. There was a big scandal after that drama too. The actor made a public love confession and the actress soon followed. Guess that's why it just felt so real.

THE MUSIC
Good stuff, and always right at the right time. I just can't give it a 10, because I didn't like any of it enough to put it in my mp3. But it was good stuff. I especially liked the gayageum instrumental tracks.

REWATCH VALUE
Top of the list. Whenever I'm bored, I rewatch it. Short, good and fun, nothing better.

Excellent drama. Watch it, no ifs. Maybe think twice if 1) You don't like historical dramas, 2) You're looking for something with a detailed, developed love story, 3) You're looking for comedy, 4) You only watch shows with fairy-tale endings. But then still watch it. It will shatter all your prejudices, trust me.

THE STORY
Amazing. Just amazing. This is officially the bittersweet tale of victory over enemies and succession to the throne. A tale that explains just why one person should become king of the nation (being of royal blood is not a good enough reason), and what is the price to pay for it. But it's really so much more. It's the story of two women ahead of their time, the story of two different political perspectives where at times you see right and wrong and at times you don't, the story of personal growth, the story of having to choose between your love and your nation...The script is fabulous, with numerous conversations that make you think about politics, justice and morality, back then and today. The characters are for the most part complex, with flaws, qualities, mannerisms, and the plot is driven by their personalities, character evolution and individual decisions, not by the writer's wish, which means that while there's things you don't like about the story, there's nothing you can't understand, given the characters' way of thinking and doing things. It makes the story coherent and real.

THE ACTING
Perfect. Nothing else to say. Everyone was absolutely perfect in their role, but if I have to choose, I pick three in particular. First, to date, one of my favorite drama characters has been Mishil, Queen Seon Duk's mentor and enemy, and as a consequence, one of my favorite drama actresses has been Go Hyun Jung, who brought her to life with incredible talent. I also must mention Bidam, probably one of the most innovative characters in Kdramaland, both dark and scary and innocent and pure, and the superb rendition of the actor who played him, Kim Nam Gil. Lastly, I was greatly impressed by the young Queen, played by Nam Ji Hyun. Very moving performance, especially in two-three scenes.

THE MUSIC
Great music in this show, that really does a good job accentuating the emotions of each scene. I've downloaded many of the tracks. In terms of the instrumental OST, Mishil's theme is awesome (great Halloween tune), but the main theme and Crystal Glasses are also cool. In terms of songs, IU's Wind Flower is my favorite, but another amazing track, Come, people of god, will give you goose bumps.

OVERALL
Bipolar drama, which could have been great, but ended up average. Watch if 1) You're looking for a historical drama with something different (this one happens mostly in China, so the entire décor and environment is different), 2) You like strong female leads, 3) You're satisfied as long as a drama has intrigue from beginning to end. Don't watch if 1) You can't stand when characters or plot elements make no sense, 2) You're vulnerable to the 2nd-lead syndrome, 3) You like fairy-tale endings.

THE STORY
The drama can be divided into two, very distinct, very opposite parts. The first one, roughly 3/4 of the show, is quite good and well written. There's a steady evolution in characters and relationship, and an omnipresent intrigue (at times more prominent than others but always there). Towards the middle of the show an element emerges that begins to make the drama lose credibility, but everything else is great, so it's okay. Then comes the last fourth of the drama, and all hell breaks loose. The plot takes a 180-degree turn, faults and loopholes appear, characters regress or lose coherence, relationships become too ambiguous, unnecessary deaths pile up...in short, you have a very disappointing, overly dramatic show that seems completely disconnected to the rest of the drama except for the enduring intrigue. Expect a rushed and dissatisfying ending.

THE ACTING
The story is one thing, but the acting is a completely different matter. Superb acting from the entire cast, at least from where I'm standing. The one that particularly impressed me was Ji Chang Wook, probably because his challenging role gave more opportunity to see his skills.

THE MUSIC
Good fit with the show and usually appropriate with each scene's mood, but I personally didn't like it. Lots of screaming. Watch out for Ji Chang Wook's song though. It's cute.

Good drama, but unpolished. Watch if 1) You feel like taking a long ride, 2) You want to watch a family show (as in, a story that follows a family, not just two individuals), 3) You're looking for many cute couple scenes and a few more mature ones, 4) You want a good-looking cast, 5) You're patient. Dont watch if 1) You can't stand screaming (there's lots, and lots, especially at the beginning), 2) You can't stand dragged plots, 4) You're not up for romantic comedy, but comic romance (there's a difference in focus, you see).

THE STORY
Very simple and cliche premise, dragged on for 80 episodes or so. The leads are sloooooowwww; it takes age before any development in their relationship. There's also a few characters (three to be exact) who's stories left me quite indifferent. That being said, there's too much fun in this show to give it up, and when I mean fun, I mean real fun, not over-the-top humor that we sometimes find in dramas. To the fun, add some good characters and an amusing secondary love story (even if the romance is a bit surreal). You get a pretty nice show. So what if you sometimes end up skipping some parts? By the end, you're still very satisfied with the story. Believe me.

THE ACTING
I'm no expert, but acting in this drama was good. I don't know about Chris Wang, the main guy, but I became quite a fan of the main actress (Annie Chen) after the show. Don't care if she's not the best actress, that girl has charisma and a killer smile (so envious). The little boy was pretty good, I was quite surprised.

THE MUSIC
Fine soundtrack, fitted for the show. There was comical instrumental for the comic scenes and emotional songs for the more serious ones. Not to mention that I liked almost all of these songs and particularly the one from Della Ding, Can't be alone (Yi ge ren, bu ke neng). I still listen to it today.

Entertaining drama. Watch if 1) You want a light romcom, 2) You like it when the guy is mean to the girl about half of the show, 3) You want to watch one of the most popular shows in Taiwan (was for a long time the drama with the most views while airing). Don't watch if 1) You're vulnerable to the 2nd-lead syndrome, 2) You like strong female leads, 3) You're picky when it comes to humor.

THE STORY
From the beginning, the story is flawed. It's flawed because of the first encounter between the main leads and the incident that will provoke their ensuing romance. It's definitely, completely and undeniably surreal, making the show lose credibility. However, if you stick to the drama regardless of that flaw and refuse to give up, you'll find yourself entertained. The main leads are not as likeable as other protagonists are, and you might not understand just what attracts them to one another. There's a few loopholes here and there and at times the humor is a bit over the top. But if you're looking for some laughs and a few moving scenes, this drama does the trick.

THE ACTING
I wasn't amazed by acting in this show, but it wasn't bad. Some supporting actors were quite good (Mei Xiu Lin in the role of the mother and Baron Chen as Dylan, for example).

THE MUSIC
I don't care about the rest of the OST, there's My Happiness by Jin Xiu Duets, one of my favorite drama songs to date, so I'll just say the music is awsome.

Average drama. Watch it if 1) You're looking for a hot guy, 2) You're looking for another drama with the girl from Fated to love you, 3) You just want a love story, doesn't matter if it's top quality or not, 4) You're desperate for something decent. Do not watch if 1) You're vulnerable to the 2nd-lead syndrome, 2) You have anything better you could watch instead.

THE STORY
It could have been so much more! That's what I was thinking...all the time. The romance could have been more, the drama could have been more. I feel like everything has been done halfway in this drama, which results in a very average show. That being said, there were a few surprisingly cool moments that'd almost make you forget it (the problem is in the "almost").

THE ACTING
It was alright. I personally wasn't feeling much chemistry between the main leads. Joe Chen, well she's here playing her usual drama persona, even though sometimes she spices it up. Blue Lan is at times not very convincing, but boy is the guy hot. Roy Chiu...he's mine.

THE MUSIC
What music? I guess it's better not to remember what the music was then to remember it sounded terrible, but it left no impression on me.

REWATCH VALUE
Maybe, one of these days when I'll have nothing new to watch, I'd have rewatched all the good shows one too many times, and all the not-as-good shows too. Just not in my priority list.
