My K-dramas list #1 2024/2025
LOVED:
Crash Landing on You (μ¬λμ λΆμμ°©, 2019-20, 16 eps) This drama is my n1! It made me feel thigs and made me cry a lot. I enjoyed the found family aspect and the story was so different so far what I've watched. I was rooting for the couple so much and the fact they're married in real life! Chef kiss!
No gain No love (μν΄ λ³΄κΈ° μ«μ΄μ, 2024, 12 eps) Every episode was delight. I fell in love with main couple love story. Their chemistry was magnificent. Second couple had more screen time in my opinion, I was cheering for them, but my heart was stolen by Son Hae-yeong and Kim Ji-wook.I enjoyed the family aspect of it too! And it should've had at least 16 episodes, it ended so quickly. Hope they'll make more stories like this one!
Goblin (μΈμΈνκ³ μ°¬λνη₯-λκΉ¨λΉ, 2016-17, 16 eps.) Drama which made me watched other kdramas! I loved everything about it, the story, characters and the sountrack.
Doom at your service (μ΄λ λ μ°λ¦¬ μ§ νκ΄μΌλ‘ λ©Έλ§μ΄ λ€μ΄μλ€, 2021, 16 eps) The story premise was so good. I enjoyed every second of it. Only thing I didn't love that much was second couple, Na Ji-na was acting so childish.
Tomorrow (λ΄μΌ, 2022, 16 eps) every episode was masterpiece, every episode made me cry because the topics which have been shown was sad reality for so many people. The team was excellent, the chemistry between them was so nice. The camera, the script - I love every episode so much. Definitely need to check out webtoon comics.
The Judge from hell (μ§μ₯μμ μ¨ νμ¬, 2024, 14 eps) My first show with Park Shin-hye and not last. She was awesome. And the punishments which those monsters got, was satisfying!
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (κ°―λ§μ μ°¨μ°¨μ°¨, 2021, 16 eps) I really liked Shin Min-a acting in No gain no love, so of course I watched other drama with her. Enjoyed the story, the chemistry between her and Kim Son-ho, the people from the town. It was such a nice drama!
Welcome to Samdal-ri (μ°μ»΄ν¬ μΌλ¬λ¦¬, 2023-24, 16 eps) It had Hometown cha cha cha vibes. The story, sisters bond, friendship and love story in this story was everything. I loved every minute of it.
Fight for my way (μ λ§μ΄μ¨μ΄, 2017, 16 eps) This drama showed me that when it's done well Friends to lovers trope isn't bad at all.
The Sound of Magic (μλλΌμλ§λλΌ, 2022, 6 eps) This was so beautiful drama! JCHW as Magician was brillians as his cast members! The songs were weak except the first song and A curse o Asphalt, those two I can listen to over and over.
Lovely runner (μ μ¬ μ κ³ νμ΄, 2024, 16 eps) I loved every minute of it. Enjoyed good mixture of comedy and drama. Chemistry was fantastic and SunJae was loser boyfriend without dignity if it comes to his bae. In one word PERFECT.
Mr. Plankton (Mr. νλν¬ν€, 2024, 10 eps) I didn't have high expectations, but it surprised me! I'm glad that I found out at the beginning how it will end. I could prepare myself for it. The story had original story line and Woo Do-hwan stole the show for me!
Marry My Husband (λ΄ λ¨νΈκ³Ό κ²°νΌν΄μ€, 2024, 16 eps) I didn't plan to watch it, because the concept was same as Perfect Marriage Revenge. But it was so much better than PMR. It had revenge with R. I couldn't stop watching after episode 1, that addictive it was. The chemistry between couple was so good, side characters were loveable and the villains were amazing - I hated them with my whole soul, the actors did good job. And Yoo Ji-hyuk became my another favorite husband material. If you want more I can recommend Japan version as well, it has essense of OG version but it's completely different take at some stuff.
Healer (νλ¬, 2014-15, 20 eps) I loved everything about it. I binged in 2 days. Healer and Ajumma hacker - the best combination! No love triangle!
Strong Woman Do Bong-soon (νμ μ¬μ λλ΄μ, 2017, 16 eps) I started it because of Park Bo-yeong, but finished it because of Park Hyung-sik - his character Ahn Min-hyuk stole my heart. Overall I enjoyed it a lot. I binged it how intrigued I was. It had comedy, crime invesitgation what I should wish for more. The acting of main characters were flawless!
Suspicious partner (μμν ννΈλ, 2017, 20 eps) Combination comedy and suspense was so good. It had good balance. It wasn't the best drama, but I loved it either way. I fell in love with its characters.
Revenant (μ κ·, 2023, 12 eps) I'm not fan of horror, but I got influenced by some edits. It was pretty addictive and scary. The cast did such a good job. And Kim Tae-ri was excellent. Her performance was flawless. Can't wait to watch other shows and movies with her in it.
Gangnam B-Side (κ°λ¨ λΉ-μ¬μ΄λ, 2024, 8 eps) I watched it because of JCW, I was hesitant at first, because I was afraid it would be too much for me, because of the topic, but it wasn't that brutal I was expected it'd be. The pacing of the story was good, the acting was perfect. I enjoyed the friendship theme. Bibi was so good, it's my first drama with her but definitely not last. Chemistry between her and JCW was pretty natural. The ending was satisfying, everything clicked together.
The Worst Evil (μ΅μ μ μ , 2023, 12 eps) Let me tell ya, it was perfection. I don't even mind I was anxious every episode, because everything on this drama was just perfect. Acting, story, script, soundtrack.. The ending had to be like that, because the whole time it was coming to that point. I can't even watch fan edits, because they made me emotional, that big impacted this drama has over me.
A Business Proposal (μ¬λ΄ λ§μ , 2022, 12 eps) My first kdrama ever. I enjoyed about it how feel good this drama was. After watching some Turkish dramas where unnecesary drama was made, it was fresh air for me. I loved the friendship so much! And the family dynamic was nice, too.
Daily Dose of Sunshine (μ μ λ³λμλ μμΉ¨μ΄ μμ, 2023, 12 eps) Park Bo-yeong was amazing. The story is one of those which everyone should watch once in their lifetime. The story is opening topics about mental illnesses and how big stigma it still is around people. Honestly, only thing I didn't like was the romance there, because it wasn't that necessary for the story itself.
If You Wish Upon Me (λΉμ μ μμμ λ§νλ©΄, 2022, 16 eps) I went into this show blindly. I mainly picked it because of JCW. I didn't know anything about the story.After first episode I knew I will love it and also that every episode will be pretty emotional journey. I enjoyed the plot so much. I like that it's story about people who has their struggles, but they gather to help grant wishes of dying patients. It was so touching.What I love the most about this show is the journey of main character Yoon Kyeo Re. From not trusting anyone, because everyone in his life let him down, to embracing his true self and his new found family! I'm sucker for found family trope and this show served it so amazingly.I loved how the story is wrapped exactly how it begins. The circle of new beginning are repeating.What I didn't like was how was handled the fixation of Ha Joon Kyung on Yoon Kyeo Re. It wasn't satisfying at all.Overall very well done show which made you cry, but the acting and story is so good, so it's totally fine. I just wish the show to be longer, because I didn't want to say goodbye to the characters! They grew on me so much.
Melting me softly (λ λ Ήμ¬μ£Όμ€, 2019, 16 eps.) I had a really good time. When I'm thinking about it now, it wasn't the most perfect thing I've seen, it had its faults and loopholes, but you know what I don't care, because I was enjoying every minute when I was watching it. The comedy, soundtrack and the acting! JCW just know how made you cry or fell in love. Plus his looks with glasses were death to me, he's just that good looking in anything he wears, I guess. Also Won Ji ah was pretty good too, love her portrayal of Ko Mi ra who was a really awesome character.
Happiness (ν΄νΌλμ€, 2021, 12 eps) I just say that everyone who was praising this show was right. It was so good! I loved (even though it irritated me, but in reality it would happended) how it showed how would people reacted in some pandemic moment. How people becomes selfish and dangerous. The main couple had stunning chemistry, so natural! And must say I enjoyed strong FL.
Melo movie (λ©λ‘ 무λΉ, 2025, 10 eps) Park Bo Young was my urge to watch it, because I just love her and so far what I've seen with her in it was so good! And this one wasn't exception. I was having fun for the start, just beware it's not only romcom (I thought it is) and then it tore me out without notice. Enjoyed every story line what was there. Don't get people who was unsatisfied with second couple ending, because it was beautifully realistic! Also, I'm glad I finally saw Choi Woo Shik in action, because after this show I want to watch other stuff with him! Loved his chaotic, goofy nature.
Extraordinary you (μ΄μ©λ€ λ°κ²¬ν ν루, 2019, 32eps) Really interesting concept, with good acting. Kim Hye Yoon is my new favorite actress, she's so good. Premise of being in the comics story and being only extra character and trying to overcoming was pretty nice. Loved the friendship between Eun Dan O and Lee Do Hwa, they were so funny! Chemistry between KHY and Rowoon was chemistriyng. Only thing I didn't like and it's not drama relating, but the fact that many peple was sipping over Baek Gyeong okay totally understand some reasoning, but defending his "good" behavior which was nonexistent most of the times and shipping him with Dan O, which wouldn't be problem for me if he would get some redemption, but he treated her so badly even after regaining his conscious. He doesn't care about her feelings and fact he literally try to hide under words,it's how it should be because of writer. Thank god he realized his doing in the end, but that wasn't enough for me to liked him and try justify his actions, because it wasn't possible, big walking red flag.
Destined with you (μ΄ μ°μ λ λΆκ°νλ ₯, 2023, 16 eps) THIS. I started it because of Rowoon and ended up loving it for the main couple! Jo Bo Ah and Rowoon have so insane chemistry. Honestly it wasn't perfect drama. But I laughed so many times and just Jang Shin Yu being sick love puppy all the time! He just can do dork in love and serious lawyer at the same time, he's that talented. And there were moments when acting of Rowoon and Jo Bo Ah made me cried at moments too! Fantastic! And this show had hot moment, which is one of my favorite!
Little women (μμ μμ¨λ€, 2022, 12 eps) This was so good. So thrilling, made me want to watch another and another episode. Why the chemistry is always so magnificent in non romantic genre, it's a crime. The acting was phenomenal. Only thing I didn't enjoy most of the time is behavior of the youngest sister.
Alchemy of Souls (ννΌ,2022, 2 parts, total 30 eps) Now I understand why was everywhere the hype. Itβs pretty deserved. The camera, cgi effects and OST - one word MAGNIFICENT. Jang Uk is definitely the character who wouldnβt sacrifice his love, the pretty opposite, he would sacrifice everything else for them! Iβm sucked for this trope, so I ate it up. Honestly, I don't understand two teams about second part. I enjoyed both. I was hearing negative thoughts about it even before I started the show, so I was scared. But it was alright for me. It makes sense. If you havenβt watched it, go for it!
The haunted palace (κ·κΆ,2025, 16eps) Fantasy romcom with horror elements. I didnβt expect to love it so much. In the first episode, I completely fell in love with Kim Young Kwangβs portrailer of Gang Cheol. He brought charm to the character! Yook Sung Jae was my main reason to watch it except for the pretty intriguing story. Iβve seen him before only in Goblin. I must say I loved everything about this drama. It has good chemistry. Good bromance. The mystery didndβt get boring and the reveal was pretty good. The romance wasnβt the main plot, but I ate it up to the last scrub. I can only recommend this drama, if you love fantasy/romcom/horror vibes.
Genie, Make a Wish (λ€ μ΄λ£¨μ΄μ§μ§λΒ ,2025,12eps) I enjoyed it a lot. It wasn't perfect, but it was entertaining and their chemistry was really beautiful. Loved that Fl was someone who is not able to feel feelings like everyone else. Understand the controversy, but I am taking those types of stories as fiction as there are, so for me it wasn't let down.
A good day to be a dog (μ€λλ μ¬λμ€λ½κ°, 2023-24, 14eps) I had a really good time, a lot of fun! My review here.
Moon River (μ΄κ°μλ λ¬μ΄ νλ₯Έλ€, 2025, 14eps) I must thank that person who thought pairing Kang Tae Oh and Kim Se Jeong is good idea. Because their chemistry was so freaking good. Hope to see them in another project together. The premise is a crown prince and a merchant who switched the bodies, it's in joseon era. Based on the trailer I thought it's gonna be mainly comedy driven, but don't let them to be fooled. It's so much more and the tissues is needed item, too . The story got me from very start and didn't let me go until I finished it, I was also satisfied how the story was concluded, which is something, because most of the new kdramas of 2025 started so promising, but I didn't feel it in the last part. Or the finale wasn't that good. Here it was pretty good! If you want something from Joseon era with body switch twist, full of palace intrigues. Please watch it!
Enjoyed:
The Manipulated (μ‘°κ°λμ,2025, 12eps) It has JCW, of course I'll pick it up. I've seen the movie which came out like 2016. I enjoyed it and it left some marks in me, so I pretty knew what to expect about the show, which is the same story but with OG script. So I pretty knew the main points. I must say, I was at awe from Ji Chang Wook's acting, but again he's just good at playing those emotional moments so well. I was pretty sure it's gonna be my favorite show, but the last episodes were kinda let down to me. Especially the last one, which was so rushed and some stuff was left without answers, which made me not happy. But if you want something darker, revenge motivated story, with pretty action moments I can recommend it!
Head over Heals (견μ°μ μ λ ,2025, 12eps) It was engaging from very start which isn't usual. Characters were lovely, but be ready for some tissues even though it's romcomy thingy.
Trigger (νΈλ¦¬κ±°,2025, 10eps) Watched because of Kim Young Kwang and he didn't dissapointed me. I was having good time. It wasn't something original, those type of stories aren't unique, but I enjoyed the themes. I was slightly let down because it started very strongly but then it went downhill little bit. Overall pretty enjoyable thriller/action piece.
The First Night with the Duke (μ£Όμ 첫λ λ°€μ κ°μ Έλ²λ Έλ€, 2025, 12eps) First episode wasnβt anythign special but I got interested after episode 2 and got even invested. It didn't take itself seriously because the genre was exactly it. You just went with the flow. The chemistry was so good. It was light, but half way through it got a little darker. SPOILERΒ The ending wasnβt that good for me. Especially no one except the main villain got punished and OG FL got kinda amnesia (off screen) and probably did get together with a guy he was in love with her, the killed man is I guess fotgotten and almost killed Fl. Overall I enjoyed it, it served the purpore. Pure fun!Β
My Lovely Liar (μμ©μμ΄ κ±°μ§λ§,2023,16eps) Really interesting premise, loved there wasn't any miscommunication. Loved their relationship and the plot twist I didn't see it coming.
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty (νκ΅°μ μ °ν,2025,12eps) I love good travelling in time story and it was nice, but the romance in this was really unnecessary, because it was like suddenly there were in love. Loved the comedy the cooking and the acting!
Our Unwritten Seoul (λ―Έμ§μ μμΈ, 2025, 12eps) Park Bo Young of these genres, drama with serious topic. So many moments in this story hit so hard, becauca it was relatable sf.PBY showed she is a wonderful actress and can play 2 different personas in 1 drama! If you want a slice of life story, give this drama a chance!
Oh My Ghost Clients (λ Έλ¬΄μ¬ λ Έλ¬΄μ§,2025,10eps) Based on trailer I was thinking itβs gonna be a comedy and in some way there were some comedic relieves, butΒ I cried almost every episode because the cases was about people killed in their work - because of faults in their workplace, so main trio is investigating and getting justice for those poor souls who left too early. Seol In Ah is in this and it was the main reason to try it. Itβs pretty underrated, gives this show some love!
Dear Hongrang (νκΈ: κΈμ μΌν€λ€, 2025, 11eps) First of all who came up with 11 episodes? It's odd number and in the end that one episode would be perfectly fine, it felt a little rushed in the end. I must say I was sceptical the trailer didn't interested me, but Bo Ah was there....First episode nothing special I was thinking about quitting, but I'm glad I stayed, after second episode it got better. I can't say it was masterpiece or something close to it. But the soundtrack and fight scenes were so good. The love story was too weird for too long, who watched it, they know what I'm referring to. Anyway chemistry was nice. The story was decent, got me hooked until the end. Mine a little longer opinion with spoilers is in there
Love your enemy (μ¬λμ μΈλ무λ€λ¦¬μμ, 2024, 12 eps) I enjoyed it a lot, but one particular redemption part - I didn't agree with it, I don't think, that person deserve to be forgiven. As romcom I enjoyed it a lot. Loved the comedy. The chemistry was there, and totally agree with people about the younger versions steal the show! I guess, they had more angst, I don't know. Redemption person is written here why I don't think they deserve that.
Love scout (μΈμ¬νλ μ¬μ΄, 2025, 12 eps) This was such beautiful mature romance story I've seen for a such a long time! Yoo Eun Ho is the greenest ML! I'm glad the story doesn't have unnecessarily drama, which sometimes happens and I hate it. It had moments I didn't love, but it wasn't something major, just my problems. If you want something when the roles are switched - F CEO and M assistant. Grumpy x Sunshine type of story with mature communication - THIS IS IT!
The Lab potato (2025,κ°μμ°κ΅¬μ, 12 eps) Must say I was intrigued from episode 1. It has Brewing love vibes, but it was slightly better, I mean I was hooked from very beginning. If you want something goofy, with supportive collegues and BFF who is into smut, with pretty hot ML. Both have their flaws, but chemistry is nice. Go for it!
Brewing love (μ·¨νλ λ‘맨μ€, 2024, 12 eps) I'm glad I didn't stop watching after first episode, because I didn't like that episode a lot, but it got better! I enjoyed the world of making beer and fact that ML was sensitive character, who can feel how someone is feeling, very new what I've seen so far. I also love about the drama the meaningful conversations and no love triangle, and just good time without frustration of miscommunication.
Undercover High School (μΈλ컀λ²νμ΄μ€μΏ¨, 2025, 12 eps) Loved the mix of genre such as comedy, action etc. Enjoyed the dynamic between main protagonists, loved smartness of FL.
Queen Woo (μ°μ¨μν, 2024, 8 eps) My first historical kdrama. I was shocked how many explicit scenes there were. But I enjoyed the strong female protagonist! The cast was so good, the costumes were stunning. Definitely not disappointed, only thing I was sad about was that JCW's character dies at the beginning. I loved their love story they really loved each other so much.
Shooting Stars (λ³λ₯λ³, 2022, 16 eps) I got crush on Kim Young-dae after watching No gan no love. Unfortunately I didn't love this drama, but I had a really good time. I enjoy the story setting, it shows how messed up is the entertainment industry in South Korea. The comedy was so good. I wasn't satisfied with how some plots were handled in the end. Overall it was fun drama!
Extraordinary Attorney Woo (μ΄μν λ³νΈμ¬ μ°μμ°, 2022, 16 eps (S1)) I enjoyed every case. Joon-ho is such a green forest!
Backstreet Rookie (νΈμμ μλ³μ΄, 2020, 16 eps) First episode wasn't good, the problematic elements shocked me, but I give it a try, because of JCW and after second episode I was hooked. Enjoyed the comedy and serious topics which was added. I wasn't fan the romance though, it took them a long time than ML and his gf broke up, which I was frustrating with the gf behavior, I was sorry for her at the beginning, but I got mad at her soon after that. She was such a toxic victim acting person. The whole relationship was mostly about her and fact she was feeling embarrassed when she was with him!? And after break up, which she broke up with him and in bad way...she started chased him again! I was done with her acting. And another person annoyed me that much, which wasn't even punished is younger sister of FL. LIke what a brat. The chemistry was there, but I didn't feel the love. I hope they'd be in another drama together!
Love next door (μλ§ μΉκ΅¬ μλ€, 2024, 16 eps) I enjoyed chemistry between charcters and also trope friends into lovers, which was executed so nicely. Enjoyed important messages in it, BUT a few last episodes was dragging to me. I guess, I lost interest in the end. But I was so rooting for second couple, so I needed to finish it. This gonna be my first kdrama where I prefer second couple more.
LovestrunkΒ in the city (λμλ¨λ μ μ¬λλ², 2020-21, 17 eps) It had very interesting concept. And was suprised that episodes were short like 30 mins. What I loved the most about this show was friendship of Lee Eun-oh, Suh Rin-i and Kang Geon. Give me supportive friends and I will love it! Next thing is spoilers so what I didn't get was 2 months fling which he did like they knew each other for longer period time. Understand, that it can happended, but he was such a loser boyfriend. I was embarrassed for him for many times. But I loved how caring he was...The ending wasn't satisfying at all. It felt like there gonna be season 2, but I doubt it.
When the phone rings (μ§κΈ κ±°μ μ νλ, 2024-25, 12 eps) It had very good start. I love the chemistry ad the acting. But the finale ruined it for me. Honestly, I don't mind the war-zone plot, I was annoyed with Hee joo decision to get kidnapped in that zone to find her husband. Like girl you could've been killed. What were you thinking?
Cinderella at 2 am (μλ²½ 2μμ μ λ°λ λΌ, 2024, 10 eps) beginning started so high and it went down half way through the show, which was a shame. This is my second noona show (found out there's a name for older woman, younger man show recently) Moon Sang-min was such a cutie in the show. Most people prefer second couple and I don't blame them, but I love main couple, they were such cute idiots and I was there for it. But if I should choose only 1 drama with noona theme...No gain No love did it better in whole picture (characters, story itself).
Wedding Impossible (μ¨λ© μνμλΈ, 2024, 12 eps) I had the same problem as with Cinderella at 2 am, it had a really good beginning but in the halfway it got a little dragged. Especially didn't enjoy what they did Dohan's story, I picked this show up especially with the premise FL helps her friend and becomes his fake bride because he's gay. This theme wasn't handled very well. I started it because of Moon Sang-min and stayed because of him, because his character Lee Ji-han was overdramatic and I was there for it! I was also in awe with FL Na Ah Jung - I love about her that she doesn't give a damn and tells you what she thinks!
Liked:
Dynamite Kiss (ν€μ€λ κ΄ν ν΄μ!, 2025, 14eps) Okay, this one started so promising, I was hooked by its first 2 episodes, after that it changed for quite some time tone of the drama. And it went downhill with the story in the second half. The finale is mess. BUT the characters were likeable, especially our main couple Jang Ki Yong and Ahn Eun Jin had very pretty magical chemistry. And their characters Ko Da Rim and Kong Ji Hyeok were amazing, but the script of the story! Argh, I guess, you need to experience it yourself to understand.
To the moon (λ¬κΉμ§ κ°μ,2025,12eps) I picked this one because of Kim Young Dae, who had very little screen time unfortunately. Enjoyed the friendship and comment about working in corporate, but I had to make myself finish it, didn't love it that much I thought I would.
Confidence Queen (컨νΌλμ€ λ§¨ KR,2025,12eps) First of all, the cast was wonderful, love the trio so much! Their acting was phenomenal, but I got bored half way don't know what exactly why, but I know I finished it only because of the characters. The main plot took forever to appear. Loved their little schemes! Haven't seen the original so I can't compared.
Tempest (λΆκ·Ήμ±Β ,2025,9eps) I was there only for their chemistry.
Nine puzzles (λμΈ νΌμ¦, 2025, 11eps) Enjoyed autistic MC, unexpected friendship and mystery, but the end was not well done, especially with the holes in the story. Villain was interesting, but you guessed them pretty quickly before a big reveal. Honestly, Iβm writing my thoughst like a month late and I forgot most of it, so I guess it tells you how good it was. It wasnβt the greatest story which you would remember many years after, but definitely brings an interesting duo with pretty nice chemistry. Kim Da Mi is a fabulous actress who I should put on my radar and watch other stuff with her.Β
Pump up healthy love (24μκ° ν¬μ€ν΄λ½, 2025, 12 eps) I canβt say itβs overrated new show because it has a lot of flaws, but it kinda got me interesting,Itβs pretty unhinged show with very crazy characters. I just enjoyed the ride, but the end wasnβt satisfying. The comedy was mostly fun, but the fat shaming wasn't that intense as in Oh my Venus, which I decided DNF only after episode 1, which was probably a mistake, I donβt know. A lot of folks were saying it has vibes as that show. What I really enjoyed was picking on some heavy topics, but of course itβs mostly a comedy show, so it wasnβt talked about on a deep level. Jung Eun-Ji was a new actress to me and I really liked her comedy so much.Β I will definitely try something else with her. SPOILERΒ What I didnβt like was, they put romance there, it wouldn't be a problem if it wasnβt put there like 2 last episodes. I enjoyed their beautiful planotic relationship which worked for them because they were on so many levels.
Mercy for none (κ΄μ₯, 2025, 7eps) Korean John Wick, itβs not about a dog, but about his little brother. Honestly the action and fights and blood, I enjoyed this aspect of it a lot, but I got bored half way through, which is weird because it's a very short drama.
My roommate is a Gumiho (2021, κ° λ¨μ΄μ§λ λκ±°, 16 eps) Well, I was loving it and then I wasn't. After episode 10, it didn't work. I'd prefer if it was 12-episode drama, because story got dragged too much, it took me quite some time to finish it. Loved FL, she was cool. The chemistry was also nice, but I didn't feel the romantic bond, especially how they addressed one another, very formal, that didn't help. Comedy was nice, story too, but the finale wasn't great. Also didn't like second ML.
Descendants of the sun (2016, νμμ νμ, 16 eps) First episodes were nice, but I got crisis in half way through. Both FLs were annoying sometimes. Enjoyed the chemistry though.
Empress Ki (κΈ°ν©ν, 2013-14, 51 eps) The beginning was nice, but I was dying half way through. I was watching it because of JCW, but his character was so annoying and childish and I know that if that character was played by different actor I would loath him so much. The biggest red flag ever. I loved the main heroine though, she was clever and strong. Like yeah she was good at everything but I don't mind, I just loved her and she deserved so much more... The romance was I don't know... the chemistry was there but I didn't feel it like itΒ¨s some epic love. Tal Tal was side character which stole my heart, his tactic mind and fact he started having respect towards Ki through time, they were besties for me. Even though I wasn't that big fan of the show like most of the people, the characters have grown on me and the finale destroyed me big time. The soundtrack was so nice!
Perfect Marriage Revenge (μλ²½ν κ²°νΌμ μ μ , 2023, 12 eps.) It had so much potential, but it didn't live up to it. I enjoyed ML, he was another green forest. But I was expecting a little more satisfying revenge from FL. Nervertheless it was solid drama, I like it.
Link: Eat, Love, Die (λ§ν¬: λ¨Ήκ³ μ¬λνλΌ, μ£½μ΄κ², 2022, 16 eps) Interesting plot, but that slow pacing of the story was killing me. I'd prefer 12 eps, because it'd be enough. I enjoyed the main characters, plus FL's mom and grandma who were stealer of the show how hillarious they were. The characters were main reason I finished it.
The K2 (λ μΌμ΄ν¬, 2016, 16 eps) Ji Chang-wook has become my favorite actor. I love how he can play anything. And the action is so good when he's there. I was excited after a few episodes in, the action, political schemes. But in the end only Ji Chang wook and Song Jun-a were saving this show. Her villain character Choi Yoo-jin was magnificent and interesting persona. Thanks to them I wanted to finish it and I did!
My sweet mobster (λμμ£Όλ μ¬μ, 2024, 16 eps) I enjoyed the idea of the show. Loved the guys and their boss. But it was dragging a bit in the end. It took me a while to finish it because of it.
Family Matters (κ°μ‘±κ³ν, 2024, 6 eps) It was good to see Bae Doona again after so long. The story was interesting. Hope they are planning second season, because it definitely deserves it.
The Trunk (νΈλ ν¬, 2024, 8 eps) The plot was very confusing at first, it took me 2 episode to understand it. Pacing was very slow and if there wouldn't be main couple I'd just give up, but I enjoy them. Their chemistry was natural and fact, they healed each other at some point!
Family by choice (쑰립μ κ°μ‘±, 2024, 16 eps) I must say I was pleasantly suprised how well they did the remake of Go ahead. The essense of that show was there, but it made it more its own show.
Face Me (νμ΄μ€ λ―Έ, 2024, 12 eps) Beginning was promising, but it flopped in half way. I can't blame cast too much, because main issue was script, they couldn't do better job because of it. I was missing development of characters and the fact the killer was obvious from very beginning wasn't cool, I love being surprised.
S-line (μμ€λΌμΈ,2025, 6eps) Interesting premise, but the execution and especially the last episodes were the biggest WHAT THE HELL?! Lee Soo Hyuk didn't saved the show.
