my recent go-to genre

for when you want a break from typical rom-coms that may be unrealistic and overly complicated at times

  • Un Frammento della Tua Mente

    yeah wow i like this drama so much even when it was cut short :( in most dramas it's the ml who usually takes the initiative, does most the work and is always there for the fl. not in this drama. 

    fl's love for ml was unconditional, she was patient and understanding throughout as she tries to approach him, expecting nothing in return. kinda gives norwegian wood vibes to me idk

    regret not watching this sooner because i didn't really know the cast well. every single relationship in this drama is well thought out. i think the producers did really well on the 'show not tell' aspect here

    the plot got kind of draggy at the end for me but i enjoyed how the leads progressed through the stages of their relationship and how the fl grows on the ml.

    i watched this because i loved jung hae in in 'something in the rain' and thought it wouldn't be as enjoyable but i was wrong. not many kdramas are able to tackle the more realistic aspects of long-term relationships as well as this. 

    i liked how well the leads complement one another and liked them both individually. ji ho is extremely patient and mature and despite his insecurities he is not a pushover; he has a clear idea of what he wants and tries his best to achieve it. similarly, jung in is outspoken and knows how to stand up for herself while also looking out for jiho

    not my favorite but definitely not as bad as its reviews. i enjoyed the leads' relationship, though i do feel that they don't necessarily have the best chemistry imo. overall, still a relatively enjoyable watch.

    i really really enjoyed this. the leads have incredible chemistry; you can see how much joon hee loves jin ah through every glance and every gesture. i hated jin ah's mom though.

    i have no idea why this drama is so underrated. i loved it so much. the cinematography and chemistry between the leads is everything. 

  • You Are My Glory

    16. You Are My Glory

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes

    9.5

    definitely one of 2021's best cdramas. the plot is extremely well-written and particularly the conflicts that yu tu has within himself is realistic and very much something that happens in real life. 

    it's rare that a cdrama can showcase such a healthy and mature relationship but YAMG has successfully done so. the leads are so supportive of each other's dreams and i loved that they only cared about each other, didnt gaf abt anyone else lol. there is not much more that can be said about the top notch chemistry between yang yang and dilraba. i'm so glad the drama is getting all the recognition it deserves because all i can say is wow!!
