2023 Completed Dramas

January
Picked up for Hani, stayed because it was an overall enjoyable drama. I really loved the friendship between Hee Jae and Min Na.

January
Beautiful, quiet, three episode drama. I loved the dual perspectives.

January
Island is what I wanted Jirisan to be.

January
Ok, listen. I had this on in the background while putting together a puzzle so did I really watch this? No. I don’t know Japanese but dammit I have a drama goal this year and it’s counting.

*12 For 12 Challenge Pick: 2015
Dual purpose watch as I wanted to pick up an Lee Da Hee drama for our deep dive on her, but also use this in the 12 for 12 challenge. Solid drama. If you aren't into thrillers but want a cop drama with standard kdrama tropes, this is a good pick.

February
I had so much fun with this weird little drama. It's like they took an episode of The X-Files and an episode of Criminal Minds and made this. Psst...me and Natalia also dedicated a full podcast episode on it: https://bit.ly/41l7tOf

This made my heart happy.

February
Solid mystery/suspense drama. I thought the twists and journey was executed well and liked all the characters. So much angst. Love it.

February
It continued to be perfect.

February
This drama was a wild ride. Of course I loved it.

February
Super sweet and endearing. Low stakes - besides being hungry after every episode.

February
Dori was in the cast  ?‍♀️

February
What the fuck did I just watch, lol

March
Loved the couples, loved the found family, loved the dog. Sigh.

March
I don’t know what I watched. But it was weirdly…ok?

March
This had such potential and that one storyline with the old patient just ruined it. I still liked the majority of it, but man. What a shame.

March
This was a fine drama. It was nice to throw up an episode of here and there. There were some sweet moments with the residents.

March
If the dazzling guy came up to me and gave me a skull bracelet I’d fall for him too.

I only stayed for the murder plot.

Gwang Nam could have had it all. He deserved two options and they were RIGHT THERE. Cowards.

March
Quiet little drama. Easy to watch, beautiful cinematography.

April
Too short :(

April
Rewatch! Still counts though, lol

Second rewatch in November also counts

April
Picked up because of Shirasu Jin and Honda Kyoya, but Suzuki Airi was the best. I loved what she did with the character and hit every one of my favorite jdrama tropes.

April
The leads were so effortlessly good with each other that it made it a solid watch.

April
I really enjoyed this drama. I thought the pacing was good, and the end wrapped up well.
