Iljimae (2008) - Lee Jun Ki, Park Shi Hoo and HAN HYO JOO - ok the cast itself speakes volume already of what is to come.

My time and effort in watching this drama was not wasted. I didn't like historical dramas before and for sure I just watch this one because of the cast. But I did started opening my heart for historical dramas because of this one as well. The story is well written considering that it's not really romance-centric but more on the Melo plus thriller/action genre which I also like. Iljimae may be a 2008 drama, but one of the best historical dramas that is still worth watching even up this time.

Spring Waltz (2006) - I love you so~~~ Love is a beautiful one~~~ hahahahaha. If you find singing to this song again, yeah right it is this drama.

Among all the season series (Winter Sonata, Summer Scent and Autumn in My Heart), this is the only drama that I finished watching so I don't really know about the other dramas in this series. It's a slow paced drama with a lot of throwbacks. I also find the drama frustrating at times, since they could have finished this earlier I think they are vital moments for a touching story that was formed. I cried alongside this drama because most of the scenes are sad.

The OST is great especially the piano pieces - it adds an aura of melo in the drama.

Marrying a Millionaire (2005) - this is one of the dramas that I waited watching every night on my local television network ABS-CBN which usually airs at 10:00PM and a student that is supposedly asleep at that hour. I actually do sneak up at night just to watch it on TV. Honestly I missed a lot of episodes of this on TV, because I was asleep and there are scenes that are cut. I watched this one in Korean with english subtitles and I was really satisfied to see the entirety of the drama. I did still enjoy the drama, thanks to the main leads. Marrying a millionaire is one of the dramas that I truly find myself smiling because I can remember my childhood.

It's just a five minute episode that talks about the main leads life before and somehow after the Ending Again Webseries. For me, it's a cute really short watch. I did finish this one real quick, and I'm quite satisfied with how they laid the story as well as the commercial in between which is I think the main purpose of this clip.

I find still the leads awkward especially the male leads. Acting skills wise is lacking. I didn't find the female lead awkward in this one and I believe she carried the whole episode/clip. I like that is just a quick look of the previous eight years with the ex. It's not to overly dramatic but it shows how the span of time in their relationship together.

Ending Again (2020) - I saw a clip of this on facebook, and I got curious since I find it cute.

Since it is just a Webdrama, I finished rather quickly on this. The leads are both good looking, I just find the female lead awkward, maybe because of her beauty. I find the acting as well awkward which for me is understandable.

The plot itself is good for me but I think it was not given justice by the characters. They appear too one dimensional.

What I like is the OSTs and the drawings that is seen in the drama. I just hope that they elaborated or had given the characters a deeper character, or maybe the time didn't allow it.

Start Up (2020) - may not be the best out there but I enjoyed it.

I get to see Suzy having a mature role already, I think I got to see her improvement in acting. At first I see a lot of my friends supporting Han Ji Pyeong and also there are people around me who encouraged me to watch this drama. So I did watch the drama and my support goes to Do San more up until the 13th episode. I think the writer wants to give the second male lead vibe to Da San which I felt as a watcher. One reason also why I supported Do San's character more is Nam Joo Hyuk's transformation as an actor. This time around I found that it's not his usual roles in other dramas. Well eventually I stop doting on Do San because I find the 3 years questionable, I asked myself why did the female lead didn't fall in love with Han Ji Pyeong instead? Sure? But then again, it is what it is. I like the introduction of the drama and I enjoyed it up until the end, though a lot were disappointed with how it turned out.

Kiss Goblin (2020) - I like this drama, short but sweet.

On the acting side of the drama though, I am not a fan. Most of the characters in the drama are leads since it's just short so it focuses more on them and something is lacking as I am watching them. I think the emotions portrayed isn't as good as what I would expect. Since it is just a webdrama I don't think I should have too much expectations, and also the actors are newbies as well. I find the chemistry of the leads good, I felt the romance. I also like the fact that they emphasized the good looks of the goblin, that I also find him handsome as a watcher.

It's an easy watch since it's short and it's a good drama to watch when you just to pass the time.

The Uncanny Counter (2020) - as to how the plot says it, I really did not understand what it is all about. I did download the drama since someone asked me to and almost 2 weeks I stopped watching korean dramas, so this is the first korean drama I watched after two weeks and I was so fascinated and happy that I watched this one already completed.

It really has the vibes of OCN dramas, its brutal. I usually like OCN dramas because they don't play safe in the action scenes. This time around though, with a ‘fantasy’ genre it was bit off putting to me since I am not a fan of that certain genre, but surprisingly I liked this drama. I started to understand the story as I was watching it. I did feel the twitch/simple diversion in the mid part of the drama, but it's okay with me.

The drama is really, for me comic-like, that all I could think is that it's really adapted from a manhwa. It has that typical plotline that evolved to something new and refreshing. I liked how the characters portrayed their roles as well as giving emphasis unto family and friendship relationship rather than on the romance side. Overall I did enjoy this drama and I would likely watch the second season.

Please Don’t Date Him (2020) - I don’t have a major reason why I did watch this drama but I’m happy that I did watch this one. It is a light drama but had a great impact for me.

I find the main characters cute and lovely. The three girls have a good chemistry, I like all the characters (*like all of them even the annoying ones). This drama is really nice for a 10 run episode. I had butterflies, I felt the chemistry and the romance in the drama and I got a smile on my face watching this. No unnecessary drama but I like that there are some ‘problems’ that are addressed. At first, it feels like there is no major development going on but as it goes I did see the worth of the drama.

Cute, fun and nice drama to watch and can be finished real quick since it just have 10 episodes.

Zombie Detective (2020) - if you don't have anything to do and you want to have some fun, you can watch this drama.

I really did have fun watching this drama but one thing that I was disappointed is that it has the cliche vibe of a drama coming out of KBS. Since it was quite on the safe side I don't know how to fully accept the drama. I find the drama unbelievable and it's really doesn't make sense but since it is a comedy drama it turned out okay. While watching I have this feeling of asking myself if I would take the characters seriously or not.

I did finish the drama and of course I did know who was the killer, so good luck to those who would watch it.

A Time Called You korean drama storyline is quite new to me but the concept is not new at all, it's just not that explored that much. I just find the story confusing and rather than understanding it more, I think I just let it be.

I know most of the actors in the drama, and I find them okay acting as their roles, is just that I am not so in awe with their acting in this drama, maybe because in the first I am not a fan with the story.

The music is fine, it does give the viewers the sense of what the characters are acting.

Would not rewatch this for sure. Maybe I will just watch the original drama.

Cheat On Me If You Can (2020) – I think it’s really good but too complicated for me to fully digest since the revelations are put at the ending episodes, like the end-end. I was quite overwhelmed.

The ending is really very questionable for me, but it's quite okay for an open ending. I think I got confused with the ending since the pacing seems a lot faster compared to the first part of the drama. The first parts is really detailed and was shown bit by bit and I had my expectations with the ending. I was really confused with who the killer is, I don't have any pinpoint person as well.

An okay drama overall.

Growing Season (2020) - I just discovered a clip in facebook about this drama and I got curious. I watched this drama on youtube and it's pretty short so I finished rather early that what is usual. I am quite surprised that it talks about mature concepts compare to what playlist global offers before. There are parts that I understand especially with the three main characters story that is shown. I like the flow and all, and of course the three female leads.

Though I find them awkward in acting, most of them are fairly new to my eyes, I think they are not as much well known as I haven't seen them much on the korean drama scene/world. Still I tolerated the awkward acting, it's fine in the long run.

I would recommend this as a past time drama with a mature concept.

XX (2020) - this drama is so satisfying to watch. One of the dramas that at first it's not appealing nor engaging for me as a watcher, but as it goes it really has a nice story to tell.

I like that the story revolves around friendship which is the main appeal of the drama. There is romance into it but I think the friendship between the female leads carried the whole drama. The drama talks about friendship that was strained which I like a lot since it's not much seen on korean dramas.

I love the female leads. The actresses really did great in their respective roles as well. They are both beautiful, hilarious, really great.

It's short but satisfying to watch. I would recommend it for sure.
