Dramas 2024
Honestly the number of dramas I watched in 2024 feels like such a disappointment :( There were definitely some good ones but for a lot of the year I felt like there was a large hole in my watch schedule that I would fill with a drama that I would drop half way through.
One surprising thing is how many korean dramas I watched this year though (this number would be higher if I hadn't dropped a bunch 9+ hours in). Somehow I watched half the number of chinese and japanese dramas but then I went from .5 full dramas to 8-10 depending on how you count it?? So thankful that there were finally romcoms that weren't about murder and cheating I swear (lovely runner and when the phone rings being the exceptions to no murder oops).
Honestly I'm not sure that there's any drama this year that I would say is my favorite (compared to last year where there were so many I loved). I guess if I had to pick it would be Hidamari ga kikoeru. I got the college drama that I prayed to the drama gods for but it got so frustrating sometimes. After that would be Family By Choice which was good but felt rushed (due to going from 46 episodes to 16). If When the Phone Rings finishes strong I think it will pass it.
Chae Jonghyup was really good in both Eye Love You and Serendipity's Embrace but both dramas dragged for me at the end so the final impression wasn't that great :(
The January drama line up and March Japanese movie lineup look promising so hopefully 2025 will be off to a good start :)
Counts:
Chinese dramas: 7 Korean dramas: 10 Japanese dramas: 7 ( +6 movies) Thai dramas (first ever :o): 2
