I don't know if I like it or not. It's just average for me. I don't think I really liked the male leads character. He is so red flag for me, from the get go. I can't seem to connect with his morals or ideals, so maybe that is why the drama seems a bit odd for me as a watcher. The female lead is fine with me, but I can't really see the chemistry between her and the male lead as well as the second lead, so I don't know. The other leads in the drama, like the second couple is much entertaining for me to watch other than the main, so that is a nice catch in the drama. Revolving around different relationships in the drama is also good, but I think the intensity of the drama is not for me, to bland for my liking.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal (2010)– this drama has a powerful main cast and seeing the cast nowadays that already have good careers, it's amazing that they were formed for this drama. Since it was shown in our local TV network, it was hyped but I was not that interested to watch it. I did am happy that I watched this one as a starting Korean drama. This drama is good for newbies especially those that don’t like historical dramas (just like me before) so to take historical dramas in a ligher mood. I don’t quite remember the storyline of the drama nor the drama itself but I do know that I did not quite understood the concept of "Sungkyunkwan" (which I do understand now already). Well, anyway I don't have the energy to rewatch this.

Secret Garden (2010) - this drama is one of the dramas that got me in Korean drama scenes. I guess it’s one of the dramas that I’ve seen when I was growing up that is why this drama is special. This drama is your typical “rich guy who feel in love with a poor girl but the family is totally against it” yeah, you know the deal, but with a twist of fantasy making their souls swap is a good alternative to a you know what's gonna happen storyline. Because of this drama, I watched other Hyun Bin and Ha Jiwon dramas. This drama is really good for someone who wants to start watching Korean dramas. It’s recommendable even if it was a 2010 drama. I just don’t like the ending of the drama.

Graceful Friends (2020) - I bow down to the main cast. Their acting is on another level, the younger cast should be ashamed. Can anybody explain the ending? HAHAHAHA. I was so confused with the ending. Who was the killer? Since I'm so imaginative, I already suspected Choon Bok. Well, anyway the story revolves around the theme of friendship, maybe this just it. In fairness, I was not that stressed compared with The World of the Married, but still amazing, JTBC knows who to choose for the cast. I truly like the side stories outside the crime part, I did really like those. Touching.

Temptation of an Angel (2009) - who would watch a 2009 drama in 2020? Me! Aw, it is all because of Bae Soo Bin, eventually I start having interest in this drama is because of Graceful Friends. It's hard to watch an ongoing drama since I have to wait a week for new episodes to come out, that's why I started watching this so I could distract myself. This revenge drama is really good but way too unrealistic. So I just fooled myself and finished this in 2 days. I really am invested with the whole revenge theme and the main leads are good. I am in awe with their acting, they were so good. Lee So Hyun did good in portraying Ah Ran – she is so infuriating but at the same time I pity her, and as a viewer I’m quite conflicted I should support her or not. Base on my memory it’s my first-time seeing Jin Tae Hyun as an actor that is on the spotlight. He really portrayed Nam Joo Seung perfectly, I was really amazed with his acting, award winning. Though the drama is serious, I also did like that they tried to insert some comedic scenes with the side characters to make the drama lighter.

Witch Yoo Hee (2007) - the one that started it all. My highschool heart can’t get enough of this drama. This drama, based on my memory is probably the first drama that I watched constantly/as much as possible in tagalog dubbed version. I remember laughing and smiling while watching this, as well as butterflies. The second male lead is sooooo handsome, but I remember that I really root for the main lead here. Having fond memories of this when I was still about 14 or 15 years old, I watched it again when I was in college about 18 or 19 years old. Always have that smile on my face and the romance never faded. It’s one of the dramas that I have had a good time.

My Name is Kim Sam Soon (2005) - never thought I would still watch this drama, 5 years earlier than Secret Garden and I find the outfits so crazy and funny including the hairstyles, but it's a fun and somewhat realistic story especially the emotional parts of the drama.

Although the male lead is a chaebol, what I like is that they did not limit the flow of emotions, both with the lead characters and also the side characters. Want to applaud Sun-ah for playing Sam Soon and embracing her role that I could really see her flaws specifically in the physical aspect. I find her awkward with a slim body, though she is really originally a thin actress. She gained weight for this drama, and that is a committed actress.
