Hi. Im a Romance drama addict.  Loves simplicity.  Appreciates complexity. 

Wife of my own hero and mummy to lil E and lil S.

# Drama Requirements:

  1. Plot and pacing that keeps you entertained and hooked;
  2. ML and FL that has good chemistry;
  3. No jarring edits (that makes it hard to follow) or crappy dubbing.

Bonus: 

  • Character development.. watching them grow and learn and be a better version of themselves 
  • Moving and/or memorable scenes.. that stayed with you long after you finish. 
  • Good messages .. something that reminds you not to take things and life for granted

 Bingeing on mostly C dramas n Kdramas.

List of all time favorites


Move To Heaven (Kr) - 10/10
 Life - Medical Condition - Family - Society.

Literally moved to tears. Indie styled. Range of 'clients' and their stories. Understated and on-point acting. Love ML and his father's story..it was really moving. It's a drama that gave you a lot and was in many ways cathartic. I need more of this kind of quality drama where they are real stories to tell, things you are reminded of, things that are new and makes you learn. SO GOOD.  Even rewatching, still make me cry my eyes out.
The Imperial Coroner (Cn) - 10/10

Murder - Mystery - Historical -Strategy - Political.

Here's a writer that wrote it like a genuinely good mystery book. All the puzzle pieces carefully setup and seamlessly weaved through different cases that all came together. This was so well paced and kept you hook even if you aren't fond of palace politics (me lol). A ML who is intelligent without being arrogant and who admires a woman's intelligence too. FL was cute, smart and helpful. That in historical timeline is damned rare.
When I Fly Towards You (Cn) - 10/10

 Youth - School - Romance - First Love - Friendship-novel adaptation

Rewatched nearly a dozen times. Where drama is even better than the novel. The FL lead ZaiZai is like the greenest flag, like the fresh NZ grassland. Finally a girl with high EQ, has her personal strengths, courageous and pursues her love in the freshest, sweetest and most direct manner. ML is receptive and interested but so adorkably introverted. He needs his sunshine to help his sunflower bloom too. The friendships and side characters shine! The directing is amazing too!
Remembrance of Things Past (Cn) -9.5/10

 
Life - Society - Depression - Friendship - Family - Love

The drama that hurts when I watch but healed me in the end. A very real story of pressures of young people in the big city. Very moving performance by the entire cast. Highlights of family love, of friendship, of romance, of courage. 12 episodes with a clear concise message and ultimately ends on a very hopeful note. Very rare in C-dramaland! One I would remember for a long time and am glad to have watched. If you do watch, keep in mind the first 2 episodes might be a hard watch but it gets better later.

Premise

Our FL lost her legs, lost hope in living but a chance call-encounter on a radioshow gave her a beacon of hope to live optimistically. That beacon extinguish when news of her idol died. Heartbroken and an unexplained phenomena, she time-travels to the past back into highschool days and was given a finite number of chances to change their fates. In the process she learns what her clueless 19yr old did not know.

The plot has been riveting from the start and that dual POV was refreshing and gave us plot twists we didn't see coming.
The actors & their characters

Kim Hye Yoon is remarkable as Im Sol. The poignancy in her deliveries, comedic timings and all. She shines in every moment, made us empathize and love Sol. Charming and cute, I wanna carry her in my pocket.

Byeon Woo Seok  is the dark horse. His Ryu Seon Jae was that giant bear, sweet, and awkward. He trips over in his affection for Sol but tried his hardest to hide it. He brings the swoony intensity.

Together they have the most earnest pull. 8 episodes in I'm all KO from their chemistry.
