6. Mystery to Iunakare
Japanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
The series will make you think about each case and how you portray yourself to the world: you will question what evil truly is and is not. I had an absolute blast trying to figure this out. As I had not read the Manga, I was pleasantly surprised. Totono is such an interesting character to me. Throughout the series, we get hints of his backstory, hinting that he could have gone down a different path like many criminals in the cases he assists the officers with. That may be why he has such an innate ability to show compassion and empathy to individuals around him. Corky in his way, yet strangely disconnected and sad. Still, he was able to tug at my heartstrings. I got so emotional in one episode that I started crying. This series is more than just the main character: I found each character Totono interacts with equally fascinating. I'm excited to hear there will be a season 2 and look forward to it.
"You usually would have researched this much, too. You lost your composure, I suppose." OOOH MIC DROP !!! -

27. Shinjuku Junai Monogatari
Japanese Movie - 1987
This film deserves more recognition on this site. It's hilariously cheesy. It is just the right mix of action and comedy. All the death scenes in this film had me in stitches. The bad guys are ridiculous enough in their poor choreography to keep you entertained. A couple of times, I caught myself asking why would you do that, LOL. If you grew up watching classic 80s films, this one should be right up your alley. It gave me such Nostalgia, and I didn't grow up watching it. This is a film for the rewatch list. Just one guy taking down some cops and a bunch of mobsters.

Something about this seemed a little off, but I can't determine what that would be. That being said, the actors did an okay job betraying their characters. Melody Lane was an excellent OST.

59. Hidden Marriage
Chinese Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
I don't care if this was supposed to be an hour-long advertisement. I enjoyed the acting. This could have been at least 30- 45-minute episodes. The chemistry between the ML and FL has so much potential. Also, I don't know who the little boy is, but he is delightful to watch on screen.

68. Mystery to Iunakare Tokubetsu Hen
Japanese Special - 2023, 1 episode
Although I love the series, I had to rate this one low. The first half of this was a recap of the first case in the series. And I found the second half less intriguing; I was disappointed, to say the least.

69. The Outlaws 2
Korean Movie - 2022
The action was intense in this one, but the plot was lacking compared to the first film. I like how the cops had to take down two rival gangs. This one just had a fugitive chasing after his money and committing mass murders. There were some subtle, funny moments, but you can only notice them if your focus is 100% there. The one thing I enjoyed the most about this film was the team of cops. They are all excellent at their job. The great communication with each other makes taking down the criminals seem effortless. Even when they have a hard time, they always bounce back quickly. I recommend this film to anybody who likes action and seeing Ma Dong Seok throw people around. LOL

71. BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen
Japanese Special - 2023, 3 episodes
I know this is an adaptation of the manga that I still need to read, so I may be wrong, but the story could have used a couple more episodes to flush out the underlying conflict between the two MLs. The abrupt personality change to reach the conflict at the end of the series threw me off. It didn't quite fit Hajime's personality in the first two episodes. However, I would still recommend this one. This drama did get me to laugh a couple of times, and both male leads are adorable. Akafuji is best boy!

73. Blue Boys
Korean Drama - 2024, 4 episodes
This drama should have been at least 10, 30-minute- or 45-minute episodes. The characters are likable. The chemistry between the male leaves is evident, and even the female side character I found to be interesting; unfortunately, because each episode is so short and limited, I don't feel a connection with the plot. Everything seems off-balance and rushed. The conflict seemed to come out of nowhere. When I was getting into what was happening in an episode, it was over, and I found myself thinking, "Well, that happened, I guess. The kiss scenes are great, tho. I want to give this drama a higher rating for that sole reason. LOL, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great,

85. My Man Is Cupid
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
A part of me wishes they would have gotten rid of the two cupids and kept Dong Chil as the protector for Sang Hyuk. Dong Pal literally serves no purpose to the plot. As annoying as Dong Koo was, he at least got a storyline with An Do Ra. He learned to have confidence in himself. It's a shame that they didn't use Seo Jae Hee in a better way. If he had sacrificed himself for the ML and FL, wouldn't it not make for a better storyline? His character would have grown from his past mistakes, and then maybe he could have even become a cupid himself, making others happy in love instead of taking it away. Don't even get me started on the female lead. Her personality was so dull. Sang Hyuk deserved a better love interest. I'm not satisfied with this happy ending. I'm making my ending', shipping him with my best boy, labrador Dong Chil! Yeah, that's right. I said it, man. He and his best friend spend the rest of their days together.

I dropped the series the first time I watched it but decided to give it another chance. Alan and Jeff are the only reason I stuck around to complete the series; they would have made a better main couple. THEY DESERVE A MOVIE TOGETHER TT__TT

96. Marmalade Boy
Japanese Movie - 2018
The story was utterly rushed. It felt like the male and female lead had no time to establish an emotional connection to form a believable relationship. This movie made it seem like they were rushing into a relationship because of the toxic environments at home. In the manga, the relationship was formed out of a period of building trust with each other. The actors that played Meiko and Namura had more chemistry, and that's saying something.
