2024 Goal
- In addition to what's left of my WSIWN? 2 that everyone helped me with and my never ending race with Netflix whenever it plans to pull something from the catalogue, my goal for 2024 is 10 dramas and 20 movies. I have no idea how many total that is lol but I'm determined to get it done!
This is where I'll be keeping track of the 10 dramas and 20 movies outside the remainder of the poll and my race with Netflix. Now I have a better way of organizing my PTW list now so that's going to help my ADHD brain A LOT.
I think this is how I'm going to attack my PTW going forward. Let's see how well this works!
12/20 movies complete
7/10 dramas complete
-
1. Comprando Orelhas
Chinese Special - 2020, 1 episode
Movie 1
Is watching a short film cheating? Maybe. Maybe not. It's my list lol.
-
2. Adorkable Shimei x Shijie
Chinese Movie - 2021
Movie 2
OK yes I partly watched because it's another short but also I haven't watched nearly enough LGBTQ+ content and I can feel my queer soul withering away from the deprivation. Also, cute GL. Need I say more?
The reason it's a 9 and not a 10 is because it felt like watching a music video and not a short - story would've been just fine without it (or only just a little).

3. Kingdom: Ashin of the North
Korean Special - 2021, 1 episode
Movie 3
Excuse you I didn't give you permission to play with my feelings like that. Semi-related I think I said 'Fuuuuuuck' or 'God damn!' out loud at least seven times. I definitely wish I had seen this sooner as most of the hype from Kingdom has worn off after all this time.

4. Tomie Unlimited
Japanese Movie - 2011
Movie 4
Is it possible to create a perfect Tomie adaptation? Unlikely. But the actress did a pretty good job nailing her facial expressions. And while predictable I did enjoy the "twist" ending.

5. Dynasty Warriors
Chinese Movie - 2021
Movie 5
That was so absurdly boring.
-
6. The Eight Hundred
Chinese Movie - 2020
Movie 6
Well made but total propaganda film.
-
7. Novoland Floating Heart
Chinese Movie - 2022
Movie 7
My first foray into Novoland!
-
8. Conto de Fadas do Outono
Chinese Movie - 2019
Movie 8
So this was supposed to tug at my heart strings, right? Make me feel things? Honestly I was kinda bored.
-
9. The Fierce Wife Final Episode
Taiwanese Movie - 2012
Movie 9
Am I the only one who was satisfied with the show's original ending? This felt like a fanfic.
-
10. The Immortal Sword Storm
Chinese Movie - 2022
Movie 10
In such a saturated genre this doesn't come close to standing out. And it seems like it couldn't decide if it wanted to be a comedy or not?
-
11. You Were Once My LIght
Chinese Movie - 2021
Movie 11
In this house we support women's rights and women's wrongs.
-
12. Kill BokSoon
Korean Movie - 2023
Movie 12
Beautiful from start to finish.

14. Fique Ligado!!
Japanese Drama - 2019, 5 episodes
Drama 1
This had way more story than I was ready for lol.
-
15. A Noite Chegou
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Drama 2
I see why the ending was so controversial, but it combined so many elements of other movies and shows I enjoyed in a very interesting way. Maybe not the most novel show but a damn fun ride.
-
16. Palácio Yanxi: As Aventuras da Princesa
Chinese Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
Drama 3
I haven't even seen the original Yanxi Palace and I could see how badly this show had been "Netflixified".
-
17. Irish Uppercut
Korean Drama - 2017, 8 episodes
Drama 4
No forced heteromance? Say it ain't so!

-
20. De A a F
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Drama 7
I don't even know why I rated this so high. I enjoyed it A LOT and the music was awesome, but it's not without flaws. Still, it's just so damn cute that a lower rating feels wrong lol.
