3. Romance is a Bonus Book
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
my second ever k-drama. this one is so close to my heart for so many reasons: books (and basically my dream job as an editor), adorable romance, lee jong-suk (his character was so cool and just the ultimate bf you might wish for) and last but not least: it got me through my exam season! it brought me so much joy and hope just when i needed it.

15. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
this is a difficult one. romance 10/10, like one of the absolute cutest pairings ever. ahn min-hyuk is the sweetest bf to have ever existed. but the plot was a little messed up tbh and around ep. 10 it just got too repetitive. most of the moments that were supposed to be funny were rather cringry.
but the romance is to die for, seriously<3

18. The Witch's Diner
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
a very cozy and comforting short drama with an excellent cast and an important message. i had a lot of fun watching this every friday as it was airing!
-
19. Crash Landing on You
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
the most emotional drama ever. like ever. but kinda dissapointing, ngl. the romance was excellent, yes, but most of the side characters (esp. se-ri's family and the north korean women) were incredibly annyoing. and soon it got super repetitive. on the other hand episodes 10-14 were incredible. i adored the friendship so much.
anyway, i cared for the secondary couple even more than for the primary one. so. the ending was upsetting.
