Chaos Clown Cave Chill Challenge 2024
ROUND 5: currently doing!!!
My dramas from this challenge! ROUND 1, 2, 3 and 4: COMPLETE!
-
1. Descendants of the Sun
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
1st favourite: from TianD
16/16 COMPLETE!
Started 8/1/24 and eh, the main couple are getting on my nerves a lot. However, post episode 6, where the main issue I had with them virtually disappears, this gets very enjoyable. Mainly the action bits and the second couple tbh!
Finished 14/2/24 and here are my final thoughts in a post!
My comparison of this to Strangers Again 5 episodes in of both!
-
2. Can I Be Someone Else
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
1st least favourite: from TianD
12/12 COMPLETE!
Started 12/1/24 and it's interesting. FL and ML are getting on my nerves, and I have severe second lead syndrome. Also, the clown music in the closing is perfect for the C5 challenge!
Finished 13/2/24 and here are my final thoughts in a post!
My comparison of this to Descendants of the Sun 5 episodes in of both!

3. Shuang Xi
Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes
2nd favourite: from roylyn
36/36 COMPLETE!
Started 18/2/24, and I think I'll find this easier to watch than CLOY, which I'm surprised by considering I'm in exams for the next 2 weeks (+ the Monday after!). I've just binged 3 episodes on 19/2/24 and I'm glad I did my heavy revision earlier! I love this!

4. Crash Landing on You
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
2nd least favourite: from roylyn
16/16 COMPLETE!
Started 18/2/24 and I like FL for how determined she is. As long as she balances out the stupidity with other merits, I'll like her lots!

5. Jitenshaya-san no Takahashi-kun
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
-
6. Lovely Writer
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
3rd least favourite: from Thyella
12/12 COMPLETE!
It was good, until I got less interested and more disappointed. Some plotlines could have been cut completely to avoid the feeling of certain relationships and events seemingly developing off screen.
-
7. Prison Playbook
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
4th favourite: from VirgieVirgie
16/16 COMPLETE!
The episodes are 1h 30 too TwT I hope for the best since I watched Alliance which was quite a bit longer!
This is beautiful and I'm liking it so far! I've not been disappointed! Although I do see a ghost ship after a certain back hug but let's just ignore that since I also like the couple which will almost certainly be canon by the end!
-
8. Coffee & Vanilla
Japanese Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
4th least favourite: from VirgieVirgie
10/10 COMPLETE!
It's already awful. How does one make such a short show so dodgy??? Apparently it gets worse, so I doubt I'll use anything less than 4x speed!
I used 6x speed by the end, but wow. It could have been good, but eh. Once you ignore the dodgy people and actions (which is most of the plot/show) they could almost be a cute lead couple!
-
9. Last Twilight
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Round 4 Hold pick!
12/12 COMPLETE!
See, I had this rated at a 9 when I held/dropped it. I tried pick it back up but dropped again a few mins into ep 9. Let's hope this is third time lucky!I have issues which mean I can't rate it a 9 or 10.
End of ep 2 notes about the squeaky music which means I won't rate music 10.
-
10. A Journey to Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
5th favourite: from Amarina!
26/40 WATCHING
I'm in love!
Midpoint review - rated it 10/10 for the first 20 episodes I'd seen!
-
11. Five
Japanese Drama - 2017, 8 episodes
5th least favourite: from Amarina! - how poetic, considering the name!
8/8 COMPLETE!
It's chaotic, but I can see why it's a least favourite despite the funny moments.
Ended up a 6 mainly bc of School Heaven, the closing cover song/MV they had at the end of each episode. The friends also grew on me!
-
12. You Are My Glory
Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes
Round 5 Hold Pick!
0/32
I was enjoying it, but I never got back to it - since I was given a choice of hold dramas, I chose the longest looking one since I'll be on this round for a while.
