See You at Work Tomorrow! (ep6) is turning out to be a really interesting slice-of-life romance. I love how they handled their conflicting emotions, motivations, and miscommunications about their feelings. Their actions were natural and understandable which led to some of the most beautifully direct yet understated love confessions. The secondary noona romance is equally refreshing. I like the notion that the best revenge is to become happier than your ex. I want to see her achieve it.
The First Jasmine (finished) This was a well-told revenge/healing drama that plays out like a poetic chess match. I love the chemistry between Cheng Lei and Bai Lu. However, the focus is on the individuals journeys more than on romance. Though what romance we get is touching and wonderful.
Dong Yi (ep24) I’m here for the Seolock Holmes and Cheonsu team up! Dong Yi defies death yet again. I like seeing her out in the world using her skills and making friends. The new secret scholar is looking like a promising ally. And absence makes the heart grow fonder for Dong Yi and our King.
Lovely Runner (rewatch; ep12) It’s now been 2 years since it aired. I had been waiting to rewatch. I still love this as much as the first time! Sol is a feisty bulldozer of sunshine. Sunjae is the best loser in love, without being a total pushover. I’m still 100% invested in their relationship. The hilarious supporting cast is the best, especially Taesung and Inhyuk. RIP Sunny. 🤣 This is absolutely retaining its spot as a top drama.
