My Current 2024 Watchlist (so far)

Keeping track of all Asian dramas, shows and films I watched or am currently watching in one year (2024), in chronological order. Some may be temporarily ON HOLD (or even DROPPED) but that doesn't mean I won't come back to them later on.

Except for prequels or sequels, this list does NOT include specials, documentaries or film adaptations, if any, of the dramas below.

TOTAL (so far): 90 dramas, 3 movies & 1 Reality Show (my very 1st Asian Reality TV-show !).

Started & Finished in June.
I watched the 2017 American adaptation (first 5 out of all 7 seasons) first and enjoyed it. Wanted to see the original 2013 Korean version to compare.
This Kdrama is quite different from its US counterpart and, after watching both, I don't think we can really compare the 2 shows.
I appreciated the Korean version as well, especially the ML beautiful sensitivity, kindness and empathy, but quite a few aspects of this original version shocked me or made me cringe.

78. The Boyfriend

Japanese TV Show - 2024, 10 episodes

9.5

Started (while airing) & Finished in July.
This was my 1st EVER Asian Reality TV-show (I cannot stand Western Reality TV)... and I LOVED it !
This show was just wholesome. I grew so attached to these 9 wonderful individuals.
My only regret is that the show was so short (10 episodes of 40-45 minutes each).

83. Bad Buddy

Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

7.5

Started & Finished in July.
I overall enjoyed this Thaï BL-drama even though the acting was sometimes a bit uneven and some scenes/storylines were unnecessarily and badly exaggerated for dramatic effect.
The 2 main protagonists are adorable but I personally don't understand why, when they're finally and officially a couple, "Pran" continues to act affectionately shy/prude towards "Pat" while it is "Pran" who was originally (secretly) in love. Why keep being physically so distant to the one you loved all along when he finally loves you back ?
84. Godzilla Minus One

Japanese Movie - 2023

7.5

Started & Finished in July.
Am I the only one thinking the appearance of godzilla was ridiculous (that small head) and its regeneration/recovery completely laughable ? Or am I simply NOT a monster/dinosaur-type person ?
The special effects were quite impressive and all the actors were very talented. I personally was disappointed we didn't learn more about them and their backstories as godzilla being the main character (hence the title) of this movie.
