January 2020 Releases

I liked the second season even more than I liked the first one. Both are brilliant and I love them but the second is near-perfection, in my opinion. The lead couple was just amazing. I fell in love with both of them. And the politics in the background were fun too. I am absolutely recommending this drama (especially this season).

Viki. Seems alright. I like the actors.

Available online. Seems nice.

This one had been on my list for quite a while and could never quite pick it up. Then comes my travel home for Christmas and I just started the drama. And binged it through. There were scenes that I did not quite like but overall I quite enjoyed it. I did not like the second female lead (classmate/first crush) at all. I don't like her character. While many in the comments on the drama's page did not like the first female lead, I quite liked her. Yeah, her personality was quite exhausting at times but I liked her for her honesty and for her ability to apologise. She is cool. I can deffo recommend watching this drama.

Ouff, this drama... It is certainly cute; however, the beginning was incredibly cringy for me. It felt like a fight against me feeling embarrassed for the female lead. But eventually, I got over it (I still felt uncomfortable watching some scenes). The FL starts as someone who is incredibly obsessed with ML (in real life this would creep everyone out). The obsession leads to her working in the same field as ML and eventually doing everything she can to be with him. I am very proud of choosing what I believe in and it took me a second to realise that FL is doing the same. Our visions are just vastly different. I respect her for sticking up for herself as she doesn't let ML just walk over her. Nevertheless, I couldn't quite feel the chemistry between them.

What I also criticise is how quickly ML developed feelings. I didn't understand when his dislike of her developed into warmth.
Also, I understand everyone at the workplace who was annoyed at FL. She made so many mistakes and some just excused it with how cute she is and how she is fighting for ML. However, I would want someone reliable next to me. Nevertheless, she is still in training and people should teach her. And she eventually started to value her job and her position and fought for it. I respect that.

Available online. Seems quite intriguing.
