Watched in 2024
Once again tracking all of the Asian dramas and films that I watch during the year, so here’s my 2024 list. :)
Order is chronological based on when I finished watching them.
-
1. A Good Day to Be a Dog
Korean Drama - 2023, 14 episodes
Absolutely LOVED this drama! It was soooo sweet, and the actors were all so wonderful!!! It was definitely a silly story at times, and I loved that it leaned into that to make some parts of the story more lighthearted! I also just adored the leads--Eunwoo continues to be one of my faves as always and he was splendid in this!!! Highly recommend!

2. My Demon
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Ahhhhh absolutely LOVEEEEED this drama! The acting was amazing, the story was compelling, and the chemistry between all of the characters was phenomenal! I was hooked as soon as I started and the ending was so wonderful...I'm sad it's over, but had such a lovely time with this drama! I think it'll be one I watch again in the future! Highly recommend!

3. Cupido amore mio
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Omg this was such a tender and lovely drama! It had an interesting mystery element going on, too, and I was hooked! The chemistry between the leads was amazing and I loved them so, so much!!!!

4. Happy New Year
Korean Movie - 2021
Such a sweet and heartwarming story with so many wonderful actors! Had a lovely time watching this one--I do wish that some of the transitions were a bit smoother because it felt like it jumped around a bit and it was a bit confusing figuring out how people connected, but overall, it was very sweet and I really enjoyed it. :) Would definitely watch again!

5. Broker
Korean Movie - 2022
The acting in this film was phenomenal, the cinematography was extremely eye-catching and the story was interesting--I think the only thing that kept me from loving it was that the story was a bit confusing at times and very, very open-ended. I did like where it ended up overall though and I enjoyed how the story wrapped up.

6. Vuoi sposare mio marito?
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
Wow...this was a dramatic rollercoaster and I LOVED that! The acting was amazing and I loved the leads and the side characters so much! The villainous characters were awful...and the actors did a great job making you really dislike their characters. I hadn't read the webtoon so this story was totally new to me and I really, really enjoyed it! I did wish that we got a bit more happy, romance-y parts for the main couple and the side couples...and could've done with a bit less of the villains, but overall, it was an excellent drama and I really loved it! Park Min Young and Na In Woo were especially wonderful...but I really did love the side characters, too! :D

7. So I Married an Anti-Fan
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Loooooved this drama! The story was interesting and the acting was superb! My one complaint was that the ending was a bit rushed with a few open-endings, but in general, I absolutely adored it! It was so much fun! :D
-
8. The Swindlers
Korean Movie - 2017
I watched this one for Hyun Bin and the premise was interesting--I have to admit that it wasn't super memorable though. I forgot to write down my thoughts and can't even remember it. :P I do remember the acting was good though!
-
9. Romance is a Bonus Book
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
This is one of my fave dramas, and I decided to give it a rewatch and it was just as wonderful as it was the last time I watched it! :) It was one of the first dramas I watched, so it was also so fun to go back and see a bunch of actors that I've now seen in a bunch of other dramas. :P
-
10. La Regina delle Lacrime
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
OMG...this entire drama was a wild, wild ride! The acting was AMAZING and the story was so dramatic. I have to admit that I was expecting it to be more funny that pure melodrama, so it was often a bit darker than I expected, but I still absolutely loved every minute of it! The ending though....omg I cried my eyes out. :P This drama constantly had me tearing up--so many feels!
-
11. Lovely Runner
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
WOW...I loved this so, so much! It got better after every single episode and I just couldn't stop watching! I loved the leads and all of the side characters so much--the romance was phenomenal and the story was fantastic! Highly recommend this one! It was emotional, hilarious, and mesmerizing! Definitely a new top fave!
-
12. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
This Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha rewatch was a lot earlier and more stretched out than usual for me--I still absolutely loved it, but I have to admit that I prefer my yearly rewatch in the fall closer to the holidays for some reason. :P
-
13. Illegittimo
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
I really don't know what to say about this one. I was a bit unsure of it right from the start because the plot wasn't something that grabbed me right away, but I love Lee Jae Wook, so I wanted to watch it for him at the very least. Unfortunately, the plot just continued to get more and more convoluted and this drama felt somehow slow and rushed all at the same time. There were a few characters I quite liked (Lee Jae Wook as Han Tae Oh being the main one, but I also really liked Choi Hee Jin as Kang Hee Joo and Heo Nam Jun as Ha Myung Jin). Overall, I have to admit that this drama was pretty meh and I wouldn't really recommend it. I did find that the last half really picked up in pacing and I was curious to see how everything would unfold though, so it at least had that going for it.

14. Alchemy of Souls
Korean Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
Decided to rewatch one of my favorites Alchemy of Souls right from the beginning and it was such a good choice! I absolutely love this drama! The story, the acting, the aesthetics...everything is so well done! I missed these characters and it was so wonderful to see them again!
-
15. Alchemy of Souls: Part 2
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Ah part 2....just as wonderful as it was the first time!!!! Love, love, love this drama so much! I would honestly love some sort of continuation just to see where these characters all are after this finished because I loved them so much!!!
