C-drama

when i think of this one, three words come to mind. Chemistry, healthy relationship. They have an amazing relationship based on mutual understanding and communication and their kissing scenes for sure didn't disappoint.  Also, there's no unnecessary drama and the plot is very smooth. One of my top c-dramas 

no words will ever be enough to express my love for this cdrama.

okay...yes, it is a bit basic but i do love a good dynamic-older-girl/younger-guy story and the ML being extra cute did help send this one very fast to the top of my list. The acting and pacing of the story is good and it is overall a fun watch. I like the dynamic between them and how supportive they are of eo 

(need to put my thoughts in an order before i write about this one cuz i still have to let it sink in)

both smart and successful leads? a very exciting and epic side couple? great chemistry and pacing in the story? everything happing feeling natural? great acting from everyone? the kid being the most adorable, smart and well spoken ever?  the healthy relationships? this drama had me wrapped around it's little finger and got me giggling like an idiot. Filled with beautiful and also heartfelt moments. A true gem. 

both mains are professionals at billiards. And I love billiards so I was sold immediately lol. I fell in love with their relationship. The way the were equals and supported each other and pushed each other to be better had me melting like an ice-cream on the floor. It's a bit more slow paced in general but so worth it. Their chemistry is also really good

(my thoughts watching this in 2023) It's been awhile since I've seen a c drama that has had me on binge mode. I'm loving the storyline even though there's not much like a couple-ly stuff. the romance element isn't that prominent but it is there and I'm loving the fact that they are getting to know each other as people and they're so respectful of each other and each other's wishes and it was so refreshing to see a female lead that is not that overly hyper-excited girl that's like so bubbly and cute but instead we get to see this serious engineer that is very much composed and in control of her feelings and mostly driven by logic instead of emotion while seeing the ml being mostly driven by emotion rather than the logic, like that switch of the stereotypes in those characteristics is very refreshing cuz there are people like that and it's nice to see some representation in the drama world.

watching as it's airing

the plot is interesting, the chemistry is there, it's an adult romance, so some may find boring the everyday aspect of their lives, -but hey! that's adult life it's not always fun and games - but there's still a lot of well written scenes that are funny af. i'm here cackling and really enjoying the ride!! Also, it's stepping up and disputing some outdated views on gender roles that china keeps projecting in a lot of its youth romance dramas and it was one of the reasons i don't watch that many c-dramas. So, this one is one of the golden ones for now. *fingers crossed it stays this way*

*update* after finishing, it did drop a little but nothing major

maybe my fav c-drama of 2021. Funny, cute, heartwarming and exciting. It had me waiting for the next episode to come out. No one does gaming themed dramas like c-drama. Another good relationship where they are equals and support eo dreams and ambitions. 

(by now you should have caught on that i really look for the dramas that potray healthy relationships where both parties treat eo as equals)

a bit more stereotypical when it comes to gender roles and behaviors but a good watch nonetheless. Good acting, heartwarming story and *SMALL SPOILER ALERT* did make me cry a little bit at the end because of a side character

this. this is a CLASSIC. If you haven't watched it, do it. 

a softer and lighter adaptation of the Korean one (Something in the rain). The leads had good chemistry, the characters didn't have many similarities with their kor version - but i did like that they were their own people instead of copying and pasting the same personalities and traits to them. The main concept of the plot is there though. It's definitely a fun watch, while the Korean one felt more mature and serious in some aspects.

i fell in love with the friend group. i loved that the main cp actually build a strong friendship before actually dating.

i had never seen this type of drama in c-drama before and it was a breath of fresh air from all the cute and innocent ones that are constantly released. intriguing plot and great chemistry between the leads.

really good for a web-series. wish they could've had it made into a full series cuz the length didn't do it justice.

dropped - it wasn't bad but i've seen my fair share of these type of dramas, so the plot was pretty predictable and basic for me

enjoyable but not as good as the 1st season 

dropped

two words - worst adaptation

dropped

it started kinda good and with nice vibes but like after episode 10 it got draggy and boring. Their relationship got very predictable and honestly annoying with many clichés that made it insufferable. it was a pity cuz i actually really liked the main actors in other projects and they're good. - would've dropped but i just skimmed through the episodes to see what happened with the fl's brother and her best friend

dropped

i was so disappointed but this. My expectations were high because of the 1st season but - i'm sorry - it flopped BIG TIME
