Intense, fast-paced, emotional and some really great acting from Han So Hee

The heartbreaking forbidden-love vibes of MLSHR reincarnated

Absolutely hilarious, cliche-shattering, incredibly well-written drama with a lovable FL

"Your rejection is rejected. Life isn't that complicated. Let's make it simple and just do it." Lee Dam

Cute romcom with a height difference that was adorable to watch.

Hilarious and my favourite enemies to lovers

Has a show ever been tooo much for you? How amazing was Choi Woong though?

Stunning cinematography and a SML that stole the show

"What should I call it? The feeling of inability to stop myself...what should I call it? I don't know the answer to that. So the only thing I could do is call it you." Tak Dong Kyung

"Her:    why are you here?
  Him:    because you are here"

One of those dramas that I start and keep saying I'll drop until I am surprised that I got to the end

"I refused to lose to anyone, but I don't mind losing to you." Mr Gu

Medical/Police Drama with the Nicest Leads

Let's commemorate here the most unromantic statement that ever followed a declaration of love in any drama ever - "wish a good cooperation with you" - followed by a handshake. Wow!

Mmmh...I want to say it was good...but mmmmh

Him: I just don't know what exactly 'in a relationship means.

Her: Why don't we create its meaning together?

Someone created the feminist utopia with all the problematic cliches..so what was the point?

"100 people would have 100 different dreams. All of them in the dream can experience a completely different world, playing different roles. So we are just playing different roles in this world."

A really unique storyline that I think the leads executed well; the ending was an anticlimax

"It's raining today. I love you as much as yesterday" Xu Nuo

A jumbled up plot with no proper flow but hey, Zhao Lusi
