Friendship, Romance, School, Youth
⚠️ ☢️ ⚔️ - too much violence to be truly sweet
Rewachable? - No, I enjoyed it while I was watching and really appreciate the actors, but in all honesty it's unremarkable. (sorry)
-

BL, Romance, Drama
⚠️ ☢️ ⚔️ - Why can I never remember if there's swearing? Bullying, TW - fantasy of school g*n violence
Rewatchable? - Not for me, I liked the last few minutes, but Kiyoi is far too tsundere, I know he feels misunderstood but it's not enough for me to completely forgive him.
-

Historical, Romance, Fantasy, Melodrama
Rewatchable? - Yes, I loved it. I don't often shed tears watching a drama, but this one dragged me into the story, I loved the 4th Prince so much, and a couple scenes were just so heartbreaking.
-
4. Twenty

Rewatchable? Maybe, it's very funny at points, it's a buddy comedy and I'm not as inclined to like the crude humor.
-
5. The Effect

Hoping to make it though school unnoticed, Shin is unprepared for the backlash from his new friendship, and Keng begins to unravel when his perfect façade begins to crumble. (Trigger Warning - rape)
Psychological, Drama, (NOT a Romance)
⛔ ☢️ ⚔️ - probably swearing, violence, TW - r*pe, suic1d3 attempt
Rewatchable? - If I want to torture myself, it's actually quite well done, it's just very, very hard to watch. This is not a light happy drama, bring tissue, and prepare to lift your jaw from the floor. SPOILER - If you don't want to cry buckets more stop Ep 3 (final episode) at about 67min, when Shin puts his phone away, after his friends see him off from graduation.
-

Action, Romance, School, Drama
⛔ ☮️ ⚔️ - I can never remember if there's swearing *smh* a good deal of violence, it is mob related.
Rewatchable? - Probably, it's sweet in it's own way, other than the violence that is. -

After 3 years of training in the US, she returns home to head up a new branch of 119 and recruits Jin Hyeok with the hopes of catching the killer of both their loved ones.
Thriller, Mystery, Psychological
Rewatchable? No, I loved Jang Hyuk and Kim Jae Wook, but there are too many elements that irritate me, the first half of the drama the police are written as incompetent, the FL is emotionless, the camera is shaky (if you're prone to motion sickness avoid this drama)
-
8. Mouse
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
Working at a local substation, rookie police officer Jung Ba Reum lives an uneventful life. He's dedicated and hard working, but a bit squeamish around gore, but when a string of brutal murders begin he befriends the officer in charge with the aim of being transferred to the case. It's best to ignore the science & psychology and think of this as a Sci-Fi drama
Thriller, Mystery, Psychological, Sci-Fi
Rewatchable? - Yes. There is so much going on in this drama, and so many characters watching a second time would actually be good. It's also a very good drama and worth the rewatch.
-
9. Mouse: The Predator
Korean Special - 2021, 2 episodes
Two episodes that retell episodes 1 - 15 of Mouse from the killer's perspective. They are mostly scenes that have already been seen but with a little extra that changes every thing. It's best to watch Episodes 1 - 15 of mouse, eps 22 & 23 Mouse: The Predator, and then finish eps 16 - 20
Thriller, Mystery, Drama, Sci-Fi
Rewatchable? - Yes.
-
10. Are You Ready? Hey You Girl!

Comedy, Romance, School
Rewatchable? - Yes, it's quite sweet and doesn't have too much angst, a bit but not over the top, I also like that the FL is strong and independent, not a shrinking violet.
-
11. Detective Dee e i quattro Re celesti

Historical, Mystery, Romance, Political
Rewatchable? - No, I quite enjoyed the drama and the costumes and sets were lovely but there's too much nastiness and vendettas for my liking.
-

Justice is harsh and swift in the Devil Judge's court room , where Yo Han doesn't care who you are, or what your connections are, everyone who steps into his court is equal before the law.
Mystery, Law, Crime, Drama
Rewatchable? - Not for me, I really enjoyed it but, the female antagonist speaks like a toddle for most of the drama, one of the other leading characters is so wishy-washy and can't decide what side he's on, and the level of corruption all irritate me too much.
-
14. Rinko san wa Shite Mitai
Japanese Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
(aka - Rinko-san Wants to Try) Working as a wedding planner Amaki Rinko is strong, confident and professional but when she learns that her crush Hiyama Mihoko likes his women to be experienced Rinko is resolved to loose her virginity.

Historical, Romance, Drama, Melodrama
Rewatchable? - No, the acting and cinematography were top notch, but the way the FL was written/portrayed made me far too mad. I'm sure I was supposed to empathize with her, but in the end I simply hated her.
-

BL, Comedy, Romance, School
⚠️ ☮️ ☢️ ⚔️ ♨️ - swearing, violence, a few steamy(ish) scenes

Comedy, Romance, School, Drama
Rewatchable? - Yes, It may seem like a typical contract marriage trope, but the FL isn't the typical pushover, she's more like a trusting regular woman, and the ML is a sweet, perfectionist, cutie. It's a fun easy watch.
-
20. Unforgettable Love

Comedy, Romance, Drama, Family
Rewatchable? - No. The aunt, love rival, & love rivals mom are awful, and I don't enjoy the nastiness, but besides that, the 'psychology' is abysmal, and completely distracts me from the drama. I can't believe any child psychiatrist would undermine the father's authority or think it was a good idea to have the boy bond with her just to have to loose the intensely close relationship after a year.
-

BL, Romance

BL, Romance, Drama, School
Rewatchable? - Not for me. It starts with r@pe, Mark is too drunk to even know who he's with while Vee is coherent enough to know better. . Vee is annoying with his back & forth, Mark’s too hurt to listen. It's quite toxic -

⚠️ ☮️ ☢️ ⚔️ - swearing, violence (Pete gets in a lot of fights) and it can be a bit suggestive, but nothing I'd worry about for an older teen

⛔ ☢️ ⚔️ - I don't remember if there's profanity, or actual violence, but there's a whole lot of betrayal, dishonesty, and unsportsman type conduct. It all keeps it from being sweet.
Rewatchable? - Not for me, the coach of the club team is too toxic, even if the writers try to make him out to actually be helpful, I don't buy it, that part was poorly written. I think I might be sick of storylines where the lead keeps denying his true feelings, it's been overdone already. I much prefer the side couples.
