Completed in 2024

I went into this hoping for a cute time travel romance that would make me miss the 2000s, and also to see Byeon Woo Seok in a lead role, and I got both of those things.

Very fun, good action! I waited a while to watch this just for Kim Seon Ho, who was excellent, but also loved to see Kim Kang Woo in a villain role.

As someone who can see a movie with this title and still want to watch it, I loved this completely. Also Kim Gun Woo! This was a crazy thing to see him in after The Glory, but he was good here.

Kim Hye Joon is great in this. This came together nicely for me as a person who isn't that into thrillers. Supporting characters were great even if I tend to like them all a bit more...alive, at the end, but season two! I'm up for it.

I love how much the people who make this seem to still like making it even after all of this time.

This was just cute. Also Shigeyuki Totsugi .... I will not say more.

I liked this a lot, and also I cried a lot at the end. I am a sucker for "what if one of them was a ghost" even though, to date, only one of those has ended in a way that didn't upset me. This isn't that one.

I always appreciate these little sequel specials that are just what the people want. No notes.

Required watching as someone cursed to watch every OffGun production, but definitely one of the more positive experiences of that curse this year. 

Cute. A bit slow even when taking into account that it's the style, but I enjoyed this. 

Very rough watch, but worth it.

Another requirement of the curse, but still a pretty good viewing experience. I binged this like crazy. Highlights for me were main leads being a couple that would be a nightmare to know in real life which is what OffGun are great at, and Mike who carried me like that one set of footprints/two set of footprints poem through the 2gether series.

Good sequel, was just a little tired of the side couple in the middle but they eventually mellowed out enough for me.

This was like seeing a loved one's baby pictures; it made me so happy to watch.

Finding out this was from the woman who apparently was the only one standing between me and HIStory seasons 4 and 5 existing made this make so much sense. This was so good even down to the side characters and villains, and I would do anything for a sequel.

I can't believe I'm saying this about a Chinese drama but I needed this to be like, just a couple more episodes longer, just to get a few more characters fleshed out. But other than that, perfect leads, side character couples that I never wanted to fast forward through, and the cutest little child actor in the entire world.

Takeshi Kaneshiro .....  I will say no more. Okay, I will say, it's crazy how good this show was at making me care about bowling.

I am a sucker for "what if one of them was a robot".  This is such a good "what if one of them was a robot".

The vast majority of this cast was just "People Cleo Likes to See in Dramas" for the most part. The story was fine, but Park So Dam menacing some loser in a leading role where I didn't have to worry about her dying? So excellent. 

A drama created in a lab for me to watch at my age. It's got Choi Kang Hee, it's got time travel, it's got a noona romance, Kim Young Kwang is increasingly becoming a favorite of mine... Very solid watch if you're into any of those.

I watched this for my youngest brother so I could tell him if the Overwatch voice actor was any good in his BL and like... He is good with Pond; I would definitely prefer to watch them in something else. This could just be that I am finally sick of watching everyone pretend to be in class. It was also absolutely crazy to see Neo here after watching Only Friends.

Finally watched this after being an ELF since Super Clap era. It's very silly, but that's just Super Junior.

I just want Takahashi Issei to be in a jdrama with a normal romance. That's clearly not his usual project, but I don't care. This is all I have in the mean time though, and the time travel wasn't tragic so I liked it.

Another solid "mom visits and discovers the partner" story.

If you get annoyed by BL comedy, you will probably hate this. I am like right on the cusp, but these leads were the only two people I liked in Cutie Pie, so I was just so happy that someone decided to make them a spin off of some (presumably) better series so that I don't have to watch "how can I get arranged married to a guy that clearly loves me?" and "is it possible to have a music career and get married if you're super rich?" I have not seen Bed Friend so I didn't have any idea about anybody else, those guys seemed alright I suppose.

This was...fine. I'm like 70% sure I read this back when I read way more manga. If so, it was fine then, and this was also fine. I think if you told me the basic plot, I could have predicted it down to how the scenes would be framed, but that's not always a bad thing.

Also just fine. I feel like I've seen this story (mom visits to discover her child has a partner) about five or six times now so there's not much new with each telling, but it's pretty hard to mess up.

Things I said out loud while watching this: "HE'S NOT ALLOWED TO SLEEP ON THE BED?"; "Wow they couldn't even get Earth back like on a video call, huh."; "Wow, they couldn't even just use the same random girl they found at the end of the series for Bone, huh." It was fine but I definitely had to remember that I did have a lot of fun watching the original series while watching this.

I watched this entirely because I saw that the only guy I liked from HIStory 4 was in it. I liked his song from that OST, and I liked him here too. I'm so glad he got to play in a show where the police only needed to be called for a traffic accident This was an okay watch, no real surprises, but there was a moment that was kind of a flashback, kind of a dream that was so heart breaking that I remember the whole show pretty fondly for building up to it.

The moment where I realized that my OffGun curse was actually a curse. I'm sorry but these two were born to bicker and fight in their shows. One of them needs to be a loud lunatic, and the other one needs to be a more subtle, quieter kind of lunatic. These two are still really good together though. This is definitely a show to watch if you like watching people cook (which I do) and also Neo was in the cast.

The  reveal of the main plot made me so angry that it tanked this show for me. This show SHOULD have been a slam dunk, it's like the only Choi Kang Hee drama I've ever seen where there are multiple kisses, by the same writer as Coffee Prince.  Leads are great together, second couple is cute enough, there is a third couple that I also liked... but the ML's family, minus the sister, is absolutely terrible. Just the worst, worst people, and at least FL cuts them off entirely but just knowing they'll worm their way back in through the ML and his sister left me so bitter at the end.

"Wait, that guy is how old now? And he's playing this role opposite the kid from Racket Boys?" but no this was good! I am still trying to find a historical drama (with no fantasy/time travel elements) that works for me and this is probably the closest so far.

So fun! The last episode had me in stitches.

I liked this but it's also been easily a decade plus since I've seen even a bit of Bleach. Everything did feel familiar though, very true to how I remember those characters.

This was fine as set up for the sequel.

Izuka Kenta is always up to some stuff, and that's no different here. I gave it a chance because he was in it, and then just kind of couldn't look away (there were some moments where I would have liked to).

I was in no way surprised to see Park Sung Woong here; the guy seems to do this in all of his roles, not that I'm complaining. He's good at it, and this movie was fine.

I watched this because I wanted to see the leads for the Ossan's Love remake and I still don't really know how I feel about them. It was great to see Drake in not 2gether, and it was not great to see Khaotung so soon after Only Friends. I still really like Earth, and I have no thoughts about Mix. It was refreshing for nobody to be in school though, and the setting was really beautiful.

Ohm was great, but I didn't really care too much about anything going on here. This was probably another victim of me being tired of everyone pretending to be in school, and then also there was one side character that really got on my nerves.

Another show that I think I read the manga for but don't remember. Anyway there are no surprises here. If you like this sort of thing or don't mind it, this hits all the notes you would normally expect.

This was funny, a usual rom com. Also love to see Kim Kang Woo as a good guy.

I love time travel stories but I go into them knowing there's like a 10% chance I'll end up getting invested in a tragic time loop story and this is one of those. I liked this but I would have liked .5 more if the ending was not absolutely crushing.

First Thai GL that I could finish! It was good enough to watch but it just felt a bit empty? This feels not like one of those classics that everyone watches but like, one of those older shows you watch your fave pairing in from back before they were an institution.

Another product of the OffGun curse, definitely the worst of it for this year.  I thought there would be way more room for these two to be entertaining with this premise, but nope, edges completely sanded down again, even worse than Cooking Crush. Obligatory these two still being good together comment aside, the side character love triangle made me so angry, and it ended up being a total waste of time. Always good to see View though.

This was cute and more than a bit fun, not much else to it.

I like seeing Super Junior members in dramas, but I didn't like these leads at all. I was pretty fine with them breaking up and staying that way. The side characters all had stories I was interested in though.

I needed this show to be not worse, but maybe trashier is the word? Dangerous was in the title, but that promise was only really fulfilled for about an episode or two before the show decided it was tired of that. Oh and again, always good to see View.

Cute, but missing just a bit for me. It was good for a bite size version of a story I like though, and I liked the leads a lot.

The only characters I liked by the end of this, in order, were Boston, Nick, Top, and Sand. Sand would be first since he's the only genuinely nice guy in the whole show, but he is ranked last because he doesn't break up with the worst guy in the world, Ray. Ray is, I believe, the devil in human form. Mew is like half evil, and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he's just terrible because he's the most influenced by Ray.  It may seem contradictory to love Boston and Nick considering most of Nick's problems are Boston, but I love Boston for being Boston, and Nick for being the only guy in this entire series who was able to break up with his terrible, terrible boyfriend.

Anyway let's go season 2!

I wanted to like this way more than I did, even though I'm not normally into the premise. I definitely finished this hoping to see other projects from the leads and others who worked on this; there was just something about it.

This felt a bit long, but there were definitely some creepy parts I really enjoyed.

This was such a slog. I don't think I care for Kim Tae Hee which I know is a me problem. I powered through for Lee Kyu Hyung and the Oh My Ghost cameos, but without that this would have been dropped. I am a sucker for "what if one of them was a ghost" stories, but this both dragged and sped through so much that I couldn't fully get into it.

Park So Dam as a cool professional delivery driver is a joy to watch, but I think if I wasn't sold on just that, I would have dropped this.

Much like Dangerous Romance, I needed this to be worse. Ohm (the lead! why are there two Ohms who are playing a Min and a Men???) was good, always nice to see Title and Papang, but I just kept watching this waiting for it to be like how I thought it would be when I read the premise. It never got there.

Another "well, I have to see Johnny Huang somewhere" watch.

This was such a freaking Lucy with the football of a season. Cop Guy and 456 made me so mad because they had so much time to think about what happened last time and what they would do going forward, but it was just complete and utter amateur hour decisions from them at every turn. Why wouldn't Cop Guy just tell 456 what his brother looked like after 456 said he wouldn't kill him? Why would 456 immediately trust some total rando he just met during the game who had the same number as the guy who betrayed him last time? Why did Cop Guy never wonder why the old boat captain who found him 1) couldn't find the place where he found him before and 2) was extremely willing to spend a bunch of time and money ferrying him all over creation for nothing in return? Them getting totally bamboozled in the first season was fine because that was their first time, but this was their second rodeo!

Anyway  I liked Kang Ha Neul, T.O.P. had me in absolute stitches throughout, and also Gong Yoo getting to play a crazy villain was good while it lasted. I am not looking forward to Season 2: Part 2, but I have to see how this ends.

The SML syndrome was extremely bad here. This was like a reverse Miss Granny and I absolutely wanted Miss Granny to end up with the cute music industry guy who really liked her. And that's crazy because I usually always want the FL to end up with Choi Jin Hyuk if he's around. But unfortunately his character was always spending time with the younger FL, who decided to play this role like a cardboard cutout of herself, and even he could not save this boring relationship. The show didn't seem that interested in saving it either.
