Shows I watched: December 2023

Status: completed

Comments: this was pretty good. there were some things that were below the standard when i think of the quality of production based on the leads. the ending sucked.

Status: currently watching

Comments: as expected of the leads, they chose a good story to star in. the acting is good, the story lines of each character is good. the conflict of the leads are realistic. 

Status: currently watching

Comments: well, the side characters are getting annoying, there are some cringy scenes here and there. i am at the point of almost giving up

Status: completed

Comments: it finished well within my expectations. 

Status: currently watching

Comments: better than what i expected. the visual chemistry is good. they thought about the visuals in the drama well and executed perfectly. the tango scene and the sea scene and the balcony scene so wonderful. 

Status: currently watching

Comments: well technically I have finished the drama. but this was a good watch. i struggled that people believed that yeon woo was from the past that easily, and that the conflict and the antagonist could have been better. the acting and the chemistry carried the show. has a satisfying ending for a timeslip drama.

Comments: the direction and focus of the drama was different from what i have expected. i thought the female lead's singing career is going to take center stage and be the focus but overall a good drama.

Comments: nice slow burn. the chemistry is amazing.

Status: dropped

Comments: i really wanted to love it but it got too cheesy for me. i am in the mood for a more simple and normal romance. i just couldn't buy a doctor but also a successful voice actor set up.

Status: completed

Comments: it was okay, i understand the criticisms it got.  there were parts that they did really well, and there were parts that were really bad.  and the pacing could have been better.

Status: completed

Comments: it was okay. eh

Status: dropped

Comments: it was good and refreshing, but not my type of drama, i may pick it back up once it finishes airing.

Status: dropped (re-watch)

Comments: i really enjoyed this drama and i decided to re watch it for nostalgia. but i forgot that there was a weird romance between the mom and the ex fiancé and stopped before then.

Status: dropped

Comments: it started out good, but them the focus of the plot was every where, they tried to use hypnosis to track down or see the face of the serial killer, which i think has nothing to do with the main plot line, and i just got lost.

Comments: just love lou si

Status: currently watching

Comments: i love watching lee young ae. she was a very mysterious charm about her. i am glad she is back to acting in the past couple of years.  i thought it was going to be a full on makjang, but there are aspects that make this drama distinct.

Status: currently watching

Comments: didn't know what to expect, timeslip or sci-fi, the plot is slow and vague in the beginning, but it picks up in the later episodes. the chemistry between the leads is amazing. the male lead in the suit, such an eye candy, his acting is stable to. the female lead, her acting is shaky at times and would need to project her voice. but overall a good drama.

Status: completed

Comments: it is very different from the shows i'm watching. it has a weird airing schedule, and this is still part one. 

Status: completed (re-watch)

Comments: was looking for a cute japanese drama to watch and this came to mind. and coincidentally this was is set during christmas. cute, short simple drama. 

Status: currently watching

Comments: has style and mood. the chemistry is unexpectedly good. the acting is stable. depends on how they will add a chinese flare / culture to the drama.

Status: currently watching

Comments: another drama with a weird airing schedule. have not seen enough episodes to judge.

Status: completed

Comments: i dropped this drama when it first aired, with the chinese remake, i had to check the korean original. it was very detailed, more than a romance drama. 

Status: dropped

Comments: it seemed like this was filmed years ago, the story and the production quality is very outdated. i feel bad for actors that are in this project, they are doing pretty well and they have this added in their filmography now.
