Law School (2021) - The law is imperfect justice. But when you teach law, the law must be perfect. And when you study law, it must be synonymous with justice. Because unjust law is the most cruel violence. - Yang Jong Hoon.

The drama itself isn't something amazing but it worked out and stood out among the dramas I have watched. First time to see a drama in a law school setting, with students and all. Though the drama doesn't really revolve around the school but I like it they also showcased the pressure and hardwork of the students studying law.

Yang Jong Hoon is my favorite character. He was a fit actor for the role and I think the last time I watched him being in a strict role is from the korean drama A New Leaf, and to think that he was not totally serious throught out that drama. This drama though, he is consistent with his being strict and I really look forward to seeing him among others.

The one character that I am not so attached with is Joon Hwi, I find him awkward with the role. I don't see him as that character.

Both Sols' in the drama are new characters for me. I am not familiar with them both that is why I find them interesting as well more than the others. There are questions that have not been answered and was not seen in the drama but I felt pretty satisfied with the ending.

So I Married An Anti-Fan (2021) - I felt sad since it did not follow the flow in the webtoon though there are parts that are followed but not all.

I felt awkward with the "villain" female lead but the three main leads are great, I really like their acting.

What I didn't like in the drama is the storyline. It got dragging in the last episodes. It's also quite childlish in my eyes, maybe because I watched too many dramas already that it felt that it is not for me anymore. It's good for those who are still beginning to watch korean dramas or to a younger audience maybe.

Mine (2021) - the cast in the drama is star studded, my eyes could not believe it.

I really the first parts of the drama but I think it got drag down in the long run. I love the characters, especially that it's female dominated with taboo topics that is also given importance in the drama. It's great.

For me though there is something lacking that I could not pinpoint what. I think I was just not convinced especially at the end. And to N, please don't accept a chaebol role next time, I love your role in Tunnel but not as a third generation chaebol. It does not suit him at all. I'm sorry. I didn't really felt the romance nor chemistry within the 3rd gen chaebol love story, but I understand since it's not really a romance drama.

Doom At Your Service (2021) - I want to be alive…so I can..So I can die with you – Doom (Episode 10).
The breakdown scene is really emotional but it's so painful at the same time that I could feel how different it is, and it's really a fanstasy genre drama.

The other couple in the drama brings more likely the thrill romantic part. I love that it focuses more on the love between co-workers, friends and of course the family and the topic of dying and such. It's not new but I like how they incorporate it. My heart really ached watching it and I cried as well.

More likely it became dragging at the last episodes, and I got confused with everything since it's not clear or I just didn't understand it because it's fantasy, I don't know but yeah I like this drama.

Love (featuring Marriage and Divorce) (2021) - my first ever kdrama that is release in 2021 that I finished watching. I regretted watching it. I was frustrated with the drama. I gave it a chance since it was popular topic and it did pretty well in ratings in korea and also Sung Hoon is in the drama with a very good role at that. - age appropriate for him and also he is a lawyer here!

I was really engage in the first part of the drama and I find it exciting but then the flashbacks happened. My heart ached so much with the confrontations, and I was crying alongside the characters and that was it. The flashbacks ended and I just known a season 2 would then happen, I was not aware at all. I was really motivated since it was nearing the 16th episode and I thought everything would be revealed but boy I was so wrong. Okay I will wait for the second season.

Love (featuring Marriage and Divorce) 2 (2021) - this drama's pacing is not really it, it's too slow. Worst is that the ending is a cliffhanger. What a joke. I thought it would end by this season but nah they really did want a season 3.

I really don't like the ghost part, it's totally not necessary at all in the drama, why did it have to be there? it's nonsense. Still, the drama have some good parts like the breakdown of Ga Bin.

I was not really prepared with the ending. I would still watch the season 3 since I don't like myself to keep hanging with an ending like that.

Shadow Beauty (2021) - I really liked the manhwa version and I think I appreciate the drama more since I already know how the story goes. Though there were good changes especially in the ending parts, I don’t mind it since I am fine with the changes, pretty acceptable. I think the actors and actresses did well but not really masters in acting. Since it is just a web drama, there were scenes that feels like there are skip and are lacking but I still love that the main points shown in the manhwa and the lessons learned from it is highlighted in the drama. I’m waiting to see a full production drama from this manhwa because it really deserves so much love and attention.

The King’s Affection (2021) - this drama is really good for me especially at the beginning part, the scenes where they are still children. It was so heartbreaking. Since I know Lee Hwi's character in the korean drama grand prince, I could really compare both dramas and their respective storylines which was base on the history. Since I really like Grand Prince, there is a bit of disappointment for me in this drama. King’s affection may not be the best but I do have some favorite parts in the dramas - the revelation parts. Since it is a KBS drama, they always play it safe and I could really see how the ending would go. I also felt bad with Lee Hyun – the second male lead that deserves much more, like HE DESERVE TO BE THE LOVE LINE, but yeah I'm not the writer nor director so I don't have a say.

Idol: The Coup (2021) - I just keep seeing this in on my for you page in tiktok and so I decided to try watching the first episodes. It’s hard, for me it's tiring to watch since it is a painful drama. Every episode the main lead is having a hard time or is struggling. I like that they also give spotlight to every member of the group and their individual struggle as well. What I don’t like is that there are few actors and actress that is not really good in acting, comparing to other leads in the drama that is really good in the acting aspect, that is why it looks like the drama in unbalanced.

Chimera (2021) - I just recently knew that it was suppose to air in 2019 but got delayed. What I like about this drama is the authentic OCN drama vibes it gives. Thriller + Crime genres are usually my type and it ticks the boxes of what I like in a drama. Actors especially the males are really well known actors and I could definitely say that they nailed their roles. The female leads on the other hand are new faces for me as a watcher, and I found them cool. The veteran cast though already seasoned actors, some are quite underwhelming in terms of acting for me as a watcher still I applaud them. The theme and story focusing on the monster Chimera and the fire element is really new to me as a watcher that I feel like I am learning alongside the characters. Overall, for me there is something lacking in the story or the timing in the pacing because the base and execution is really good.

Happiness (2021) - another zombie type drama. I like it but I think I was not as excited for this as with other zombie type dramas. Both leads are great and I am in awe with their acting, coming from a fan of Han Hyo Joo. As for the other actors in the drama, very good as well, I really felt hatred towards the "villains" in the drama. It’s a good watch but I have some disappointments with some of the characters. Some characters in the drama have not been given the justice to be a significant persona that is why I felt dismayed with their roles. The ending is fine with me. In between recommended and not.
