God’s Quiz Season 1 (2010) - I’m glad I ran into this drama. I feel like I am watching an educational show but in a fun way. This drama is really good, I like that they introduced rare diseases with analytical thinking, and I like that is centers about crime and mystery as well. This drama made me feel like I'm the smartest after watching an episode. I came to watch the seasons after this one because the first season was really well portrayed. Almost all the characters especially the ones inside the lab are really engaging. I like the last episode of this drama, especially about the lines regarding human ethics and about life as well as death.

This drama is one of my favorite Korean dramas. It is just amazingly pure. The story line is a bit frustrating, but I like how the story goes. This drama also made me like the main lead Korean actress Han Hyo Joo, and she is now my favorite Korean actress. She did well in this drama. I remember how I struggled just to see this drama and I think it was all worth it. All my friends who have watched this drama also like it and so it made me think that this drama is really one of the best.

The male lead Lee Seung Gi in the drama is pretty decent, I think he just started acting since he is not that good in portraying sad scenes just yet.

Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu/ The Full-Time Wife Escapist (Japan) (2016) - I have encountered this drama because of the discussions regarding Because This is My First Life. I came to watch this because others said this is the original drama or basis of the my favorite korean drama BTIMFL, and they do have quite the same plot but different story all around. I really felt the romance in this drama, and this drama made me understand what 'kawaii' really means. This drama is very fun in a Japanese way. Japanese dramas have a different style with Korean dramas and you could really see how culture works in this drama. What I do like also in this drama is that they face social issues in between: Divorce, single parenting, singleness at the age of 40, how females are seen at work compared with the male counterpart, sexuality and also marriage. There is a lot to learn, but in a fun and subtle way. Cute drama. Tuesday is hug day.

Run On (2020) - is just wow. It's been so long since I feel the romance vibes in my life but as I was watching this, I really feel so much love. I really am in love with this drama. This drama is one of the best dramas that 2020 has offered and since it ended in 2021, it is my first 2021 drama. This drama is really refreshing for me, especially that most actors playing the characters are not really the typical actors that I see in a korean drama.

I’m not a fan of Shin Se Kyung, but I always see her in other dramas that are quite popular, and honestly I don't really find her roles appealing. This time around though, I really like her role and how she portrayed the character. I cannot explain it but I really like her

The dramas lines are also astounding, great writing. Deep lines that somehow made me think and learn just by watching it. At first I find the lines a bit weird for my taste but then I have adapted how it should be interpreted.

The drama has a lot of side characters, and the first part of the series is quite uninteresting but as it goes, yeah, I was totally into it. Siwan as the male lead actor is the best choice, he is gorgeous and embodied the character really well. Siwan’s character is so cute, which is so far to the usual chaebol seen on other korean dramas.
My favorite line would be: ‘can you not teach me? How to break up? I felt the emotions in this line so much and I can't find to words to express how much this impacted me as a watcher. There is a tinge of reality in the drama and I don't find the romance over the top though the genre of the drama is romance.

She Would Never Know (2021) - I love both male and female lead in this drama that I think I expected too much from it.

I read the webtoon and I guess I was really not into the webtoon that is why I was not convinced with watching the drama. The first episodes of the drama is engaging for me as a watcher but as it goes the spark of the drama was lost. Maybe because I think the chemistry of the main leads is not there but they did really good in both their roles. I don't have anything against the actors and actress because they did well. The storyline is just not really my type.

Nara’s Marvelous Days (2021) - I think it is cute as to what it offers. It was easy to watch since it was short.


I don't know if what is the lesson of the story in the drama but I think it deals with ‘second hand items’ and it’s importance. For me though, the message was not conveyed properly and rather it focuses so much on the love story or romance part of the drama.

The main male lead is cute. The female lead I find her a bit of the normal type of female lead, which is fine with me, I like it.


Overall it's an okay drama but it is forgettable.

Be My Boyfriend (2021) - this drama is really short so it's a good watch if you just want to have a past time.

It's quite childish, and not my type of drama since it was the timeline of high school. I hate school dramas especially if it's romance themed, it's quite unbelievable to me as a watcher. I'm not a fan.

I also am not familiar with the cast. They are I think newbie actors and actresses. As to the acting aspect, since they are relatively new, it's on the so-so side. They can act but needs more practice to be better.

This school drama maybe good to a younger audience. I just didn't like this drama.

The Red Sleeve (2021) - one of the best dramas I watched this year. Maybe this year is the year of historical dramas because I really enjoyed this drama. Though at first I felt weirded out with the effects and I think it was fast paced in the first episodes but as it goes, it becomes better. I like that the chilhood parts was not drag out too much.

What I really like the most is that it talks about Deok-Im the female lead rather than the king which with other dramas, it's always the king who is the center of the story especially historical dramas. I really like Deok-Im as a character and the friendship between the court ladies is really really well portrayed.

I also like that the storyline really does connect with how history is stated but then also has given a chance to the watchers to have their own interpretation of the ending. I really cried a lot watching this drama. Recommended.

Shooting Stars (2022) - one of the kdramas of 2022 that is so famous in social media that’s why I watched it ongoing. It’s romcom and its fun. I think it got overhyped because of the cast and the never-ending cameos. I didn't really fall in love with the drama, it's fun but I'm not so hyped up by it, and the love story is really not my type. I think that the role of Taesung as the top star in the drama is not really well conveyed? I don’t know I think something is missing that I can't point out exactly. The revelations within the drama is what I like but I think after the revelations, I lost my interest towards the drama. I am happy with the couples that end up together in the drama but I think I'm too old for the this type of drama.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022) - I like this one as I was waiting for it every week. The drama is also engaging that the main lead is projected as a really nice ‘perfect’ kind of guy. The story development is good for me, and as it nears the end of every one or two episodes there are lessons that the drama wants to impart to me as a viewer. I love that the drama doesn’t really have a “villain” (*except with Attorney Jang – whom I’m just really pissed off). I love the ending as to what I was expecting and it’s nice that it’s not stressful because usually if there is a second season there is to be something “to look forward to” ending. Still the drama has more to show which I think has not been seen yet, revelations and all and there are also deleted scenes which they may incorporate in the next season. Looking forward to season 2.

My Happy Divorced Life (Japan) (2023) – my first 2023 japanese drama. It’s a pretty fast pacing drama that only Japan can do. I really like this style of them. This drama is really short but is fully packed with scenes that made me think about the circumstances of divorce, dating with a younger man, and at the workplace at that. It seems really fast but when I got the hang of it, is good considering that it does not have to be too much. The drama focuses on the main leads, the female protagonist to be exact which I really like. There are not too many side characters as well which is a plus, and the other characters have their significant time to shine as well. Good watch but seems fast if you’re not used to watching these types of dramas like me.

Alchemy of Souls 2: Light & Shadow (2022) – I was so behind watching this drama because I was not really attracted to it. After watching the first 2 episodes, I stopped and just pick the remaining episodes if I remember it, usually 1 episode only as much as possible. I can’t seem to continue watching it, I don’t know why, maybe because season 1 is so good. I believe the season 2 is necessary for the questions to be answered but that I was hoping that they should have added the episodes in the first season. I think I just finish this one to have a completed drama and to settle some remaining questions to be answered.
