Watched in 2021 (kinda in order but not really the movies)
It looks like a whole lot that I've watched in 2021 but it's mostly movies that I watched a lot back then.
For the dramas, The Guest I watched somewhere around Janurary-March, Word of Honor in summer 2021, Squid Game August-November I binged in a day, Ancient Love Poetry on Thanksgiving break week, Arsenal Military Academy I put on hold for some months than finished watching for Ancient Love Poetry, Kieta Hatsukoi Watched while it was airing. 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii and Be Melodramatic I'm not sure when exactly, maybe summer.
A lot of the movies I mostly watched in summer and after.

1. Musafirul
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
Janurary-March
I remember I was trying outa lot of kdramas but I kept dropping them. A lot of the dramas I was tryinna to watch were romances. It got really annoying to me because I wanted to just like a drama and finish one. I was hesitant to watch this one cuz it looked like it would be way to horror-like to me but damnnn it was G O O D. literally amazing, spectacular. The crime, horror, characters, friendship, and bromance it was all just REALLY good

2. A Tale of the Wanderers
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
summer, when I moved to new house. tbh the plot I didn't totally love and was confusing (it was interesting enough) but I loved the bromance
My review I wrote at the time:
i just finished word of Honor a few days ago and man. obviously untamed will always be number 1 in my eyes but it was a lot better than I taught it'd be. i finished it in 3-4 days and mannn wtf how can a cdrama BL adaptation be so good?? i miss it so much I miss where I dont have to see a FL whos annoying all the time (ok there was an FL but that was a side plot and ngl i liked that hetero romance it was cute with Wei Ning) lol not Wen Ning smh
lemme tell u it was more uncensored than untamed and it felt more romance. they called each other soulmate soo many times and the ML was the flirty one which i missed he reminds me of wei ying except if he was the ML personality wise. and MC liked drinking like wei ying. the costumes were wayy better and of higher budget tbh i kept looking at their cloths half the time thinkin damn they look so elegant in it (i liked ML's cloths better cuz with the fan he loks like a rich aristocrat) and u wouldnt think that the ML is the villian seeing his first impressions just looks way too soff and gentle, playful man lol -
3. Word of Honor - Epilogue
Chinese Special - 2021, 1 episode
-
4. 30Sai made Doteida to Mahotsukai ni Narerurashi
Japanese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Summer? maybe
I enjoyed this BL; it was prob the best BL I watched in awhile except for World of Honor. It's lighthearted, funny, and has great rewatch value. I watched the anime in 2024 and it was so good. I tried out an ep of the thai version, it's not bad but I got bored so I dropped it.
-
5. Valentine & Hexagon
Japanese Special - 2020, 1 episode
Summar? maybe
-
6. Be Melodramatic
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Summer? maybe
I love this, it's romantic comedy (I think) with real-life lessons thrown in. I really liked the main couple as well as Jeon Yeo Been (third sister) enemies to lovers romance lol.

21. Mulan
Chinese Movie - 2009
-
22. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Chinese Movie - 2000
-
23. Left Ear
Chinese Movie - 2015
I skimmed through this movie cuz I got bored, I don't remember when I watched it tho. Summer or August-October I feel like. That's when I watched all those movies
-
24. Arsenal Military Academy
Chinese Drama - 2019, 48 episodes
I watched like 39 eps then put on hold cuz I got bored from the plot but because it's the ML in Ancient Love poetry, I forced myself to watch the rest (or in parts) and finished it. So that I can be done with this drama and start ALP.
I still gave this an 8 star because the acting was well done and I liked the romance and friendships. This gave me strong Mulan vibes. The FL and ML are one of my fav actors now so after I watched this I def was on the lookout for their upcoming dramas
-
25. Ancient Love Poetry
Chinese Drama - 2021, 49 episodes
Thanksgiving day week, so November.
The thing is that the first 38 eps are a 10/10 for me but the rest... it was just so bad and rushed to me so I gave it a 3.5 stars off. The happy ending was also rushed and told in literally 2-3 minutes and I started to care for the alternative versions of themselves and their romance instead of the god ones. Actually, I was in love with the god romance at first but then once we switched over to the alternative version of romance, we saw their romance bloom for far longer than the god one. I feel like rewatching that romance someday and stop at ep 38/39
-
26. Jocul Calamarului
Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes
Watched in September or October.
Didn't think it was an extraordinary plot, still had fun watching it tho. I already was familiar with this type of plot back in 2020 when bing played Danganropa. Nothing can compare for me. Also in August 2021 I played Zero Escape which had a similar feel

Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
