What am I doing with my life...
-
1. Jinpai Kefu Dong Dong En
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
Status: completed
Comments: very cute drama. the female lead needs better clothes. hope to see the male lead be in different dramas and characters. -
2. Faithful
Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
Status: completed
Comments: story that that told in a very digestible and easy to follow fashion. i was definitely attached to all the characters at the end. filled my craving to see janice wu in the drama. -
3. Thief
Korean Drama - 2023, 9 episodes
Status: completed
Comments: watched it because of kim nam gil. hate that it has a season 2, I don't think the romance is necessary. i think that they have to develop the female characters better, especially seohyun, fan of her since snsd days but still haven't found a break in her acting career. its not easy to mess up her visuals but they did. -
4. Separate Lives at Hyosim's
Korean Drama - 2023, 51 episodes
Status: currently watching
Comments: just a typical weekend makjang drama. but the chemistry between the leads is budding up. but most characters are so annoying. -
5. He Walks From the Fire
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
Status: dropped
Comments: really did not want to, but the slow burn was too slow, I was up to the 20s in episode but struggled to continue to watch. but the advertisement of how great the firefighters are (not saying that they are not), compared to fireworks of my heart, they are not that overdramatic. -
6. Sparkling Watermelon
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Status: currently watching
Comments: one of my favorite dramas as of the moment. it is very funny. love both of the couples but my heart goes to yi chan and cheong ah. love love love -
7. Ao Haru Ride Season 1
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Status: dropped
Comments: i was so excited, since i watched the anime, but the sub rate and i completely forgot about this drama -
8. Yesterday
Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes
Status: completed
Comments: found it a compelling adulting story, with hints of nostalgia and portrayed the tendencies of the youth really well (even if i'm not form that era). -
9. Chi Zi Zhi Xin
Chinese Drama - 2023, 38 episodes
Status: dropped
Comments: i wish i could watch it, but the subs sucked when i checked it out. i could get the gist of what is going on, but i needed proper subs to fully immerse myself. -
10. Tiger Crane
Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes
Status: completed
Comments: it was a confusing watch with so many complicated explanations for everything. i know it is an ensemble drama for the young actors, but typically would have a "main character" that moves the story, but was confused because hu zi has the main character that the drama revolves around, but i felt they were pushing zhang ling he' character instead. and man, no more fake death or death then immediate resurrections, it won't make me cry! and i feel like everything had a complicated backstory but very premature. -
11. Per amore e per destino
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Status: completed
Comments: i really wanted to love it. but unfortunately the interesting elements of the show (the spell book) weren't utilized that much in the later episodes. the jo bo ah's character made some stupid decisions, the side characters (especially the office co workers) were so mean and unnecessary to the plot. there were just so many unfinished and undeveloped ideas. the only enjoyable thing was the chemistry between the leads. -
12. A Good Day to Be a Dog
Korean Drama - 2023, 14 episodes
Status: currently watching
Comments: it's cute, it's okay. hate the orangey yellow filter/aesthetic they have. -
13. Day of Kidnapping
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Status: completed
Comments: i really enjoyed the drama, expect the last confrontational scene and the police work, but the chemistry between the two leads are top tier. the ending was confusing. -
14. My Dearest Part 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 11 episodes
Status: currently watching
Comments: much, much, much, more depressing and tragic than part 1. but love it. the acting is a 100. -
15. Ripe Town
Chinese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Status: completed
Comments: really short mystery, crime, thriller. good acting, good pace, love the theme and the story they wanted to tell. it can get confusing when you won't pay attention. -
16. Wo Shi Xiao Di Zhu
Chinese Drama - 2023, 26 episodes
Status: completed
Comments: very cute, typical historical romcom with domestic family problems. found the female lead very cute even without the thick make up, and joseph zheng is slowly becoming my number one chinese leading actors. -
17. Wo De Zhu Li Liushi Sui
Chinese Drama - 2023, 37 episodes
Status: dropped
Comments: as much as i love the leads, the story did not engage me that much and the chemistry was barely there for me. -

Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes
Status: currently watching
Comments: still forming my opinions, i want to like it, but i just don't feel the story is flowing as naturally. -
22. Cunning Single Lady
Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
Status: re watched (completed)
Comments: this drama just popped up un my head and decided to re watch it. i really enjoyed it and there is a sense of maturity the drama has even though the main leads are so petty towards each other. and the decision to get back together made sense despite all they went though. -
23. Diva of the Deserted Island
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Status: currently watching
Comments: it had a very dark start. i was very worried that it was going to have a very ridiculous reason on how the female lead ended up in the island alone and survive for 15 years, but it's really not bad. park eun bin, lets go!!! -
24. Perfect Marriage Revenge
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Status: currently watching
Comments: it has a cheap production quality and you can smell it by how hard they try to make it look expensive. and most people here are from love: marriage and divorce, and you guys know how much i love that drama. do d and c players in the industry star in it expect the veteran actors and the acting is really shaky. but for what it's work its entertaining. -
25. Sending Me to You
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Status: currently watching
Comments: cute and funny, looking forward to how its going to unfold. -
26. My Secret Roommate
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
