Cute
March 31, 2024This jdrama BL is cute and fluffy to say the least. For a 3 episode drama, I did feel a bit underwhelmed with the plot but thats okay cause they really put all the possible things they needed to deliver.
The casts are pretty good as well in terms of delivering the acting needed. Definitely a cute ride to watch and easy to take in. Moreover, it can be finished in just one sitting.

A slow paced show from friends to lovers
Mar. 1, 2024Perfect Propose is a smooth sailing Jdrama BL to start your year off!
It has a simple plot yet the way it is told is just so good that you will want to know more.
The 6 episodes makes it sweet and concise and honestly, it is just a perfect spring show to watch.
It tackes your cliché childhood friends to lovers, so for those who love this troupe. This is definitely a show that you must see !

Home cooked meal
Jan. 29, 2023Our Dining Table is a very cute and fluffy Japanese BL. The story is simple but the way the story unfolds is so pleasing. There are obviously some critiques that I personally found with this show.
To start off, I think they could have chilled down and tone down the amount of flashbacks. I understand that flashbacks are essential in delivering the plot and moving the storyline. However, I feel like some of the flashbacks itself are repetitive. It could have been less, it bothered me a bit so I had to fast forward those scenes.
However, in terms of everything else, I am at ease and amaze with the series. I think that the leads are very green flag coded couple, they know how to handle things. There are times where they might be slow with each other, but I love how they really emphasize on promoting positivity with each other. Definitely a breather given how toxicity is romanticized in many dramas. I am glad with how the writer took the wholesome approach. It definitely made me love the series more.
Also, the kid really puts flavour in the series. He is so cute and amazing. I love how his character added more dynamic to the couple. The family vibe was oozing. It was done so well. When I first saw the poster of this show, without reading the synopsis, I really thought he was the son.
Please, give this show lots of love that it deserves.

The epitome of there is a light at the end of a long dark tunnel
Dec. 3, 2023Another Kdrama I have to say my good bye too.
Castaway diva has been my go to kdrama that I look forward to every saturday and sunday. I must say that I have never been disappointed by this drama. It is so good. I wish that it was a bit longer maybe like 13 or 14 episodes so that they could have had expanded certain plot points. But I guess 12 episodes will suffice.
The music of the show is chef's kiss. I love how well-produced the OSTs are. I wanna listen to them again and again.
I am just so happy at how things have concluded. That happy-ever after typa ending was just something all the characters needed amongst all the challenges and trauma they had to face.

It's okay
Sep 26, 2023Lovely Liar was an on going show that I kept up with since it's pilot episode. However, as the story progresses, I slowly fell out of interest for it. That is why I only finished it now.
The chemistry is amazing between Minhyun and SooHyun, as much I love their chemistry. I felt really bummed with the plot. I do not know how to explain. But the plot was appealing at first, then it slowly became doo doo water later on.
I mean the drama is pretty decent in my opinion. FInishing it definitely felt like a chore

Youth, my love
August 11, 2023When I Fly Towards You has hit all the spots in my heart. The way it has green flag male lead and female lead. That is just amazing in itself and this is a youth drama that we are talking about.
First and foremost, the development of our leads love story is just majestic in the way it was written. It was like slow and steady, but not too slow or too fast. The little glimpse that they take on each other is just so cute. And did I mention how green flag both our leads are?!!! LIKE WHERE DO THESE EXIST? CAUSE CLEARLY NOT IN FKING AREA.
I am so happy to be able to watch this drama because it gives me the feels. The way our leads have such a healthy communication with each other. The way they treat each other with respect and love. No stupid misunderstanding troupe. Everything is solved whenever a misunderstanding is about to develop. No stupid and unnecessary break up. Like whoa, Chinese dramas did so well this time of the year.
Hidden Love, Exclusive Fairytale, and When I Fly Towards You, these are the holy trinity of the Chinese Youth Dramas of this year!

Sugar and sweets
Aug. 4, 2023Another CDRAMA I have finished this week, Exclusive Fairytale hits the sweet spots for me.
It definitely is a simple plot show. But the way the story progressed was pretty smooth in my opinion. I did have some troubles with the sub plots of the secondary characters. I must say that they are definitely skippable as it was giving me anything. Especially in the latter half of the series.
As for the main characters and their families, I genuinely loved them all. It is just so cute and having been childhood friends to lovers, is just that one plot troupe that I eat up so much like enemies to lovers.
The epilogue is so adorable like the way we had the child's pov was just uniquely amazing.
I must say that Chinese dramas have been eating up the others for this half of the year. Like I had to pause all my other shows for Exclusive Fairytale and Hidden Love.

Round 2
Edit: April 19, 2023Rewatching Dr. Romantic Kim 2 again just after hearing the release of season 3 makes me so happy.
Anyhow, this show is still my favourite medical drama of all time!!!
May 4, 2020
I LOVE DOCTOR ROMANTIC KIM 2, I love the slow burn development of Eun Jae and Woo Jin. It literally took them 16 episodes to be official again. As much, I love them I also love Nurse Park and Dr Yun. These two are such a good second lead couple. Dr. Yun has such a sweet sunshine character and Nurse Park, I want to know more about his past since I didn’t watch season 1. So this makes me want to watch season 1 now. As for Master Kim, I hope that he finds his love and Dr. Bae too. Moreover, I really love this series. I wish Dr. Shim had more screen time since her character development is great.
FURTHERMORE, I FEEL LIKE THERE WILL A SEASON 3 SINCE THERES THE ODD BALL PROJECT THAT MASTER KIM IS PLANNING. I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT HELLO!!! PLEASE GIVE US A SEASON 3. I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO WATCH IT. GIVR IT TO US PLEASE!!!
Also, CAN PEOPLE STOP COMPARING SEASON 1 TO SEASON 2. THEY BOTH ARE GREAT AND THAT THEY SHOULD NOT COMPARED SINCE THEY HAVE THEIR OW STORYLINE WITH GREAT CHARACTERS!
Lastly, I LOVE THIS SERIES, one of my favourite kdrama for this year!!

Still such an S-Tier show
April 10, 202318 again is such a timeless show, I originally watched it when it was first released on Netflix and it jumped right into my favourite comfort dramas. Rewatching 18 again definitely solidify its position in my ever-growing lists of Kdramas. After feeling burn-out from school and the uninteresting shows that I was forcing myself into watching. Rewatching this show was definitely such a smart move on my behalf. To think that I was reminiscing my first year uni self when I watching this show during the peak of pandemic and its lockdown for the very first time. This show brought me joy, and made experience all those emotions time and time again. Made me cry to realize all the hardship that the parents have to go through for the sake of raising their children. It helped gain a better understanding of my own self and with how I perceived my own parents.
18 again serves a life-long educational story. I love how the writers were able to deliver and mesh comedy, romance, slice-of-life, and insight of what people go through. I wasn't even going to write this review. But I realized, my 2020 self and 2019 self, didn't know that mydramalist existed yet. SO I guess, it is time to rewatch all those kdramas that I love again and write them a review that they all deserved.
Back to 18 again, YES PLEASE WATCH THIS. All of the casts executed their roles quite well and give 18 again the love and fame that it deserves!
Until my next rewatching session again.
Love ❤️

So damn good
April 6, 2023Koi Desu is that JDRAMA. It is so under appreciated, it is actually insane. I would love to thank the tiktok edits that came up on my fyp that recommended this drama.
This drama is so good, not perfect, but so fucking good.
Also I just wanna say that Morio is the biggest green flag and such a sweet wholesome boy. Like I need him in my life, in terms of the JDRAMA WORLD leads, he is up there on the greenest flag ever along with IDA from Kieta Hatsukoi.
I do want to talk about the 2 major turn off that this drama has that made me pull my hair out of my scalp:
MAJOR SPOILERS
First of all, that break up was unnecessary and it was so off guarded. No proper explanation and the last episode did not give proper justice. It was so rushed and clearly not well put together. I was not even fumed by the breakup. I AM MAD cause of how the writers just gave that messy ending. The first 3/4 of the last episode is wack. Like I watched it without skipping and I wish I skipped some scenes. Like wha is with the push and pull and the hiding of Morio....
Aside from that minor issues I have, I love this series.
Definitely rewatching this again when I can.
Until then,
Bah BYEEEEE

Putting this on my S-tier kdrama BL
March 30, 2023U heard it folks, this drama just boosted its way into my higher level of Kdrama BLs.
Our Dating Sim, ate, devoured, served, and slayed for 2023.
I love the cast and our two lovely leads, Mr. Ed and Mr. Ian
I will be going by their English name for the purpose of this review.
Ed ate, he is the standard. I want him, I need him. He needs to be in life.
Ian, he slayed, I love their communication with each other. NO STUPIDS MISCOMMUNICATION in the present moment. I will be excusing what happened 7 years ago...ahahahha
This is such an informal review but I am so sad this show ended. I am still not ready to let this one go.
See yalls back when I rewatch!
PLEASE WATCH IT, gives so much dopamine and serotonin.

Fluffy and cute
March 29, 2023A shoulder to cry on is definitely a great improvement from the last few failed kbls that has been released.
Before watching the endings, I have been seeing comments about it. To be honest, I prepared myself for the worst but the ending was pretty decent in my opinion. I feel like people tend to equate Thai BLs with Korean BLs, but they aren't the same thing...
Anyhow, A Shoulder To Cry On does have some plot issues that could have been better though I must say, given the lack of budget and such. This drama is pretty substantial in the terms of how they were able to deliver the dialogue, scenery, and etc.
I found the romance to be cute which is still good. It's not steamy like other people have commented but I do want to remind people that you are watching a tv series that is rom-com type and not an erotica.
Still a solid show imo and I will definitely be back on rewatching it!

Cliché troupe with murder mystery ROMCOM
Mar. 13, 2023WHOA.
Another KDRAMA I have finished this year, Crash Course In Romance is such a cute and sweet Kdrama to watch. The plot is very normative but the casts that play their roles are just too good at their delivery. To be honest, the only weak point that this show had or my very huge critique were that:
First of all, the murder mystery troupe just did not give any flavour or a sense of interest for me. I think it was very stale and bleak in terms of the writing process and just the overall progression. I feel like instead of doing this route, they could have focused more on the youngsters. Since they really made the show more interesting than the murder sub plot.
Second, I feel like that the problematic Moms weren't given proper character development. It was too fast and that there wasn’t really any sense of logic behind it. I definitely have huge irk with the last 4 episodes of the series. Like, especially with the biological Mom being added last minute. WTF was that - my literal reaction.
Aside from these two major things. Nothing else really bothered me. The couples were lovely both in the older generation and the younger generation. I really wish the youngsters had more screen time than the annoying murder arc!!
That's all.

Rom-Com to start your 2023
Feb 14, 2023Waw, a show I binged during Valentine’s Day. It was good, sweet, and concise. Love to Hate You is definitely a show I will rewatch to replenish my dopamine. It's just to cute, fluffy, and also really hot. I guess since the casts are aged up more, I love the dynamics that they have. Especially between our leads, I feel like they are very healthy in terms of their relationships. Sure there are some misunderstandings here and there. But it is not to great extent where it makes me despise the show.
Overall, I like how the 10 episode format. Because of this there are stupid plot being thrown in the middle to make up for the running time.
I'll miss the cast so much and thank you binge studios for bringing this show into light. LOVED BINGING IT!!

cute fluffy rom-com to end the year 2022
Dec. 24, 2022Gaus Electronics is a cute heartwarming fluffy rom-com to end the year. I feel like the Kdramas released lately for the past year or so has been very heavy and dark. So it is nice to have some rom-com to replenish and have like a break from these angsty melodramas.
Overall, Gaus Electronics follows the cliché troupe but I eat it up. Though I must say, I was more interested with the second lead couple plot more. I think it was just personal preference, I feel like the main lead just didn’t give me that suspense or interest to keep myself hook-up with their plot.
