Set in the 1980's, this Korean drama was a breath of fresh air for me watching 2023 Korean Dramas launched at the same time. It was not so hyped up but I'm glad I saw this on some list in tiktok and got intrigued. This drama did take a long time for me to find subs since it is not that popular with the others, but I would it was worth the wait. The first episodes were really hilarious and fun. Male lead Si Wan delivered so well. My favorite character would be the female lead Sun Bin playing Black Widow, she is great. I think this drama really shows how the male lead grow into a man. I was a bit hoping for the antagonist to have a change of heart and attitude because of the backstory they have presented and I think it was a waste of potential but still I like the drama and how it turned out. The ending was a bit disappointing since I think it was rushed but I would say it is still a good end.

Bad Guys (2014) - I watched this like 1 episode per day because it so intense, my heart can’t seem to take it all but I remembered I watched the last 4 episodes in a day. I was so into the drama and I fell in love with every character. I was crying a lot in this drama, which is hilarious since it is an action drama. The actors are not even shedding tears and they just have to deliver their lines but i was crying like crazy over it. I am laughing at myself right now because I may look like an idiot at that time but this drama is just so worth it. I like the plot twist, since I can’t really tell who the culprit is (since I am not that smart in this matter). I like the ending too and hoping to see Season 2 soon.

Backstreet Rookie (2020) - what made me watched the drama is because of the controversies surrounding it. I did really like it at first but quite disappointed at the same time since it is another romantic comedy genre acted by Ji Chang Wook. I did like this one better than Melting Me Softly, but originality aspect still goes to MMS. What I did like most in the drama is the family part, I did cry in those parts. The leads does not really have a chemistry for me as romance partners. The vibes that this drama gives is that of a typical romantic comedy with over the top acting. The secondary couple are hilarious and I like the part where they put inputs about the drama "The Fiery Priest, I laughed. I'm hoping for a Ji Chang Wook drama that is on melodramatic, which I think suits him better.

Lee Jong Suk really knows how to pick roles. I watched this after The Crowned Clown and honestly I'm so glad I did. From heavy historical emotional drama to chill plus realizations about life drama, it balanced out my emotions. The first episodes of the drama were quite different somehow not that enticing in my point of view but as it goes on it keeps getting better. The one that got me hooked more with the drama is the appearance of the second male lead, I got really Second Male Lead Syndrome vibes with the drama. I also like how they make the story progressive in a gradual and neat way. Most of the characters are also endearing and nice to look at, each having their own unique roles.

It's not as bad as what others seem to project based on my preferences

I stayed away from the drama because of the first cover photo but I did start watching the drama about 4 or 6 episodes already out. The story is pretty good in my opinion. It has the fantasy genre but I liked it more than I thought I would because I already had quite low expectations to the drama in the first place. I really felt the emotions, and the love between the leads.

The actors and actresses in the drama are great. I love them all, my favorite would be Pyo Ye Jin as Young Hwa the female lead. She is really great and she delivered her role so well. Kim Young Dae on the other hand, is quite familiar or I guess he always chose the same roles but it's fine with me.

I did understand the ending, so I liked it but I was hoping for something different but I'm fine with it. I did cry in the last episode. My journey watching this drama ongoing is great.

One of the best korean dramas release this year 2023. The whole historical romance story of the main leads are really well portrayed. It's a really a heart aching drama. I cried a lot watching this one. I liked that I watch this one ongoing, because my emotions can't take it if I watch this in one go.

Aside from the love story, I really liked the side characters in the drama. Even with all the flaws shown by the characters, I can't help but accept them as what they are. I really am so convinced with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, they are also one of the characters that made an impact for me as a watcher.

Though the drama is political in it's aspect, which is usual in a historical drama, I like that it shows the perspective of the common people, though the monarchy is seen, it's not really the main plot of the story which is really a plus for me as a watcher.

The lines/script of the drama is well written, I am in awe. I would not rewatch this for sure since I don't want to cry again.

This drama is a cute drama for me overall. At first it has the romantic comedy genre, but with the hint of suspense thriller into it. I like thriller dramas and I like romantic comedy as well but I think this drama is a decent one. I am not into it as much as I would want, maybe because I watched this one ongoing with other big dramas like Moving that the impact of this drama seems lesser.

The actors in the drama are also familiar faces. I have seen them in other dramas, and they are good here, not the best acting but I like it. It's a fine drama with somehow a cliche ending. I would still recommend this one.

My Roommate is a Gumiho (2021) - Fox: “He couldn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t fall in love with her.” I really like this part of the drama related to the quotes and all regarding how a person can fall in love with someone. I felt the romance right there. I think that part of the drama is mesmerizing.

I like the overall drama but I can't seem to feel the chemistry between the main leads, I don't know why. I like the other couple much more because for me they are much fun to watch. I did read the webtoon and in fairness they followed the story just that there was a wrong character. tsk.

Café Midnight (2020) - I don't really know most of the cast in the drama, and in that sense I don't think they are really good in acting. I think they just started acting because I find them awkward on the screen.


The drama is confusing, I didn't fully understand what it is all about, but as it goes episode by episode, I understand it but it takes time.

It's not something that I would recommend to anybody. Since it is just a short drama, I think it was not delivered successfully to the audience. It's just an okay drama for, not really amazing nor need to be talked about with friends.

100 Days My Prince (2018) - this korean drama is one of historical dramas that I wasn’t so attached with. Maybe because it’s a light drama, and romance is the main part of the story. It was unusual for me to watch a korean historical drama that is romantic comedy since most historical dramas I have watched are either comedic at first but eventually led to melodrama which I like. Both main leads did a really great job in their respective roles, but I’m not a fan D.O being a prince nor a king. Maybe because of his height? I don’t know, basically this drama is fun to watch especially if it's for binge watching since there is not so much struggle with the whole storyline.

Be Melodramatic/Melo is My Nature (2019) - having been a fan of this type of 'slice of life' genre dramas, I was really into it. Since more likely the ages of the characters is the same as mine, it is impactful to me. It feels like an older sister of Age of Youth drama. It radiates reality in me but with the addition of quirky and funny imperfect scenes. The characters in the drama are also cute and good, makes me want to be a part of them. Some of the life experiences that was featured in the drama I did go through which felt nice. I also like how each of the characters have a spotlight of their own, seeing how they dwell on their feelings deep inside. I cried and the lines of the drama have something that made you realize as a person.
