1. Heróis de Plantão
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
A bingeable, very entertaining medical drama with Ju Ji Hoon in one of his best roles so far, excellent team work and camaraderie among the leads, and an engaging, refreshingly unique plot.
The story balanced beautifully between comedy and drama, medical cases, hospital politics and character growth, while the team's bantering, bickering and support was a pleasure to watch.
Yoon Gyung Ho stole some spotlights with his quirky persona, his comic and dramatic moments, as well as his exemplary character development.
Time well-spent.

2. EVILLIVE
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Dark, violent and intense, this was an engaging cat and mouse story between a gangster and a lawyer.
With an unusual toxic bromance, some beautifully orchestrated mind-games and superb performances from Shin Ha Kyun and Kim Young Kwang, whose dynamics and interactions were always the spotlight, this drama is an entertaining addition to the noir genre.

Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Started with a bang, ended with a fizzle... and with lots of fireworks from Yoo Yeon Seok?in between.

4. Doutor Campeão
Korean Drama - 2010, 16 episodes
For a drama that's already 15 years old, this was a decent, enjoyable watch.
Of course all the usual clichés and repetitiveness were there, but done in an angst-free and cringe-free way.
Jung Gyu Woon and Uhm Tae Woong' characters and performances were definitely the highlight, though I wouldn't say so for both the FLs (who weren't the sharpest knives in the drawer), and seeing the young selves of some familiar faces (especially Kang So Ra and Go Jun) felt so nostalgic.

5. Kinshicho Paradise: Shibuya kara Ippon
Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
A peculiar slice-of-life story, with some healing elements, a few social commentaries, some unanswered questions and an unordinary but pure Japanese story-telling and editing style.
