    This was a fun way to learn about 3 new predebut SMRookies.  I enjoyed it a lot and look forward to their debut!

  • The Last Man Standing

    4. The Last Man Standing

    Korean Movie - 2023

    9.5

    I enjoyed this so much.  I knew most of what was talked about in the docuseries, but I still learned things I didn't know.  SuJu is my favorite group and will continue to hold that top spot.  

  • 3B no Koibito

    5. 3B no Koibito

    Cute drama.  I really enjoyed it.  It was the first time in a long time when I wasn't fully sure who the FL would end up with until the last couple episodes.  The story was fun and the actors/actresses did a good job in their roles.  

  • In the Soop: Friendcation

    6. In the Soop: Friendcation

    Korean TV Show - 2022, 4 episodes

    This was actually a REWATCH for me, but apparently I hadn't marked that I had seen it yet.  At any rate it's super fun to watch the WOOGA Squad hanging out and just being friends.  Everyone wants a friend group like that. 

  • Tripmate: Who Are You?

    7. Tripmate: Who Are You?

    Korean TV Show - 2022, 6 episodes

    This was good, but even though they tried to show who the visiting celebrities were, since I was totally unfamiliar with them all, it was a bit more challenging to connect with them.  But at the same time, it didn't seem like the Korean Celebrities knew them either so in that way, it sort of felt like we were all in the same boat and learning together which was fun.

  • Rental A Girlfriend

    8. Rental A Girlfriend

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 10 episodes

    Cute show.  I enjoyed it. 

  • A Batalha dos 100

    9. A Batalha dos 100

    Korean TV Show - 2023, 9 episodes

    9.0

    I didn't know what to expect with this series, but I really liked it.  It was neat to see the competitions that showed of various types of strength and did a good job keeping the events fair for everyone.

  • Intensivão de Amor

    10. Intensivão de Amor

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    8.5

    Overall I really liked this drama.  It has some angsty spots, but I liked the plot and the characters overall.  Was a little on the fence with the brother's relationship because it felt a bit like the girl was taking advantage of him at the beginning, but I liked that it showed him in a relationship. Really enjoyed the lead's relationship and how they grew on each other.

  • A Cozinha do Jinny

    11. A Cozinha do Jinny

    Korean TV Show - 2023, 11 episodes

    9.0

    Fun variety show.  Bit slow in some parts, but fun to watch overall.  Seeing the cast interacting with each other is always a hoot.

  • Passarela de Sonhos

    12. Passarela de Sonhos

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    8.0

    Loved the main leads and the two friends of the leads. The cast is just amazing and they all do a great job.  Many of the parental figures I could have done without even though it did try to make them grow as the show went on...The brother was a pretty annoying character always, but at the end, he got a bit better too.  I was not a fan of the way it ended.  It wasn't awful, but it also wasn't satisfying to me.  It felt unfinished and I was frustrated with it.  My friend and I watched this drama together and we were both going, "Is it ending here???"  So, yeah.  Not an awful or rage inducing ending, but not particularly good either.

  • Mestre no Pedaço 2

    13. Mestre no Pedaço 2

    Korean TV Show - 2023, 16 episodes

    9.0

    I'm so sad this series is over.  It has been one of my favorite variety shows for years.  This season lacked a bit without Lee Seung Gi, but it was still good and it had some really interesting episodes.  I wish it could have gone on longer.  I will miss it.

  • Amor Oculto

    14. Amor Oculto

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes

    9.5

    Very Fun show.  I enjoyed it.  The cast does a great job.  

  • Road to Kingdom

    Korean TV Show - 2020, 8 episodes

    I could only watch this through clips on youtube, but I think I saw most of it.  I'd love to see it in it's entirety.  Great performances and fun groups.

  • Esposa em Tempo Integral

    16. Esposa em Tempo Integral

    Japanese Drama - 2016, 11 episodes

    I had apparently watched this before but I'd forgotten. It's a cute show and I enjoyed watching it again. 

  • Esposa em Tempo Integral: Episódio Especial de Ano Novo

    17. Esposa em Tempo Integral: Episódio Especial de Ano Novo

    Japanese Special - 2021, 1 episode

    8.5

    I'm glad they gave more to the story, but I wish there had been about 10 minutes more.  The ending is a bit lackluster because you don't really get to see much of what had been waited for in the course of the drama. Interesting way to incorporate COVID into the plot though.

  • Ishiko e Haneo: Você Está Me Processando?

    18. Ishiko e Haneo: Você Está Me Processando?

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 10 episodes

    9.5

    I really liked this show.  The cases are interesting and the characters are great to watch.  The relationships build in a way that seems totally natural and you find yourself hoping for more episodes.

  • Sorriso Real

    19. Sorriso Real

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    9.5

    Watched this with a friend and we enjoyed it a lot.  There are some parts that we were annoyed with, but overall, it's a really well done drama.  Junho and Yoona are absolutely awesome together.

  • Casamento Comigo? Sério?

    20. Casamento Comigo? Sério?
