“the more i see the world, the more am i dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.”

“this is the usual effect of such coincidences. the mind struggles to establish a connection — a sequence of cause and effect — and, being unable to do so, suffers a species of temporary paralysis.”

dali and the cocky prince / gamjatang

kdrama series

man, where to start?

first, i adored the part where it revolves around art. i love art so much! dali is such a fresh character for me and the complete contrast of moo hak was so addicting. i literally breezed through the first few episodes! second, i like the conflict. although i feel it was a bit messily portrayed, it’s not something that really bothered me. third, the one thing that i don’t like is the fact that i felt like it was so short. i need another episode or two! or three!

a solid 100/10! so amazingly done and quite a lot of lessons learned from this drama all while being immensely entertained in more ways than one. i am going to miss this drama and will sure be one of the dramas that i can see myself rewatching!

inside the real narcos

docu series

i can’t believe it took me this long to get this off my watch list. i got so hooked that i never took my eyes off the screen. i’ve always been so interested in things like this but the fact that this series is REAL made it even more exciting and scary for me. it’s different from the excitement and nervousness that i get when watching fictional series inspired by reality.

it really put things into perspective for me. it’s a great watch. direct to the point—a great plus for me. i don’t like it when docu-series circle around nonsensical things that don’t relate to the topic. this is not like one of those. it’s real, interesting, and specific. can’t wait to watch more like this!

move to heaven

kdrama series

who’s cutting onions? this is easily one of my favorite dramas this year. i can’t believe i didn’t watch this sooner. it’s crazy how great the actors were in this. i have no words. this is the first time i wrote 2 entries for one drama and i haven’t even finished it yet! and frankly, i don’t want it to. it’s too good. if you haven’t watched this, why? you’re missing out on a masterpiece!

move to heaven

kdrama series

i’m halfway through this series and i can already tell that i won’t be disappointed and i will be satisfied until the end.

it’s just such a heartwarming drama that is literally worth watching. the actors are phenomenal especially the main lead. people need to watch series like this and realize and reflect upon themselves, honestly. it’s crazy how those people with mental illnesses are more humane than most people.

i love the pace and how the character development is realistic. it’s not forced nor is it crazily sudden. the plot is something i’ve never encountered before. it’s a complete 100/10!

lawless lawyer

kdrama series

i mean, come on. why didn’t i watch this before? the two main leads have been part of my favorite dramas last year (it’s okay to not be okay & flower of evil). another revenge plot but with the help of the law? count me in!

was not disappointed with this drama. the action scenes were spicy and the reason why i thought i was going to love it was because of the main character’s car in the first episode. i was immediately drawn! chevrolet camaro? dude.

the acting was superb and the love the entire plot as well as the twists in the story. was fully satisfied with this drama.

my name

kdrama series

i’m just speechless. i have been anticipating this drama and it’s been a week since i’ve seen it in one sitting.

first, i am a sucker for revenge plots. second, i adored how the series portrayed the characters in the series as well as the actors who played their roles. i just have so much nice words to say about them. third, the cinematography is insane! i love the color palettes and i just can’t stop thinking about that awesome transition in the first episode (from the outline of the door to the picture frame? genius!) fourth, i love the dynamic relationships between the characters and their individual selves. fifth, the plot twist was something i did not expect at all which made the series even better. i thought it was going to be the traditional revenge plot because it mainly focused on that but then fast forward to the last couple episodes and i was lost yet enthralled.

the actors’ acting did not disappoint. han so hee really is out there flaming up the film industry! her dedication to her role and her versatility left me in awe. beautiful and talented? man. definitely something worth watching. like the director said, once you start watching you can’t stop.

also, idc but choi mu-jin? YES. lol. definitely a must watch. this deserves to be talked about. currently no. 2 trending in my country and i say deserve to that!

unforgettable love

cdrama series

this drama is so cute. it’s the perfect drama to watch after binging intense thrillers / mysteries. i don’t mind the pace and i adore the little kid so much! when i get so irritated by the main characters, the kid makes me continue watching because of his cuteness. the plot was interesting too!

doom at your service

kdrama series

i’ve become so slow in watching movies or dramas recently. a drama with 16 episodes? it’d take me about 2 weeks? but man, i finished this drama in 3 days!

i liked the plot and the chemistry between the two main and second lead characters were insane! towards the end of the drama, i couldn’t help but get carried away by the intense emotions. this drama made me see doom in a different perspective.

i want more of mr. cha though. this was a 10/10.

racket boys

kdrama series

this drama brought me so much entertainment and comfort. it made me laugh so hard & cry so hard. it’s amazing how they were able to portray so much personalities and create a community who treat each other like family with different backgrounds as well as experiences.

i love how it focuses on being fearless in more ways than one. i also want to note how this is the first time in a while that i saw a familial relationship that’s so sweet and with less aggressive yelling in a series. there’s so much i want to say about how i love this drama but i can’t seem to find the proper words. this is a solid 11/10. worth it & was completely satisfied. i want another season!

pandora

korean movie

was truly invested in this 2-hour film. it’s properly done and the acting was as great as the emotional ride this thrusted me into. the middle towards the end of the film was truly heartbreaking as much as it was satisfying. movies in this genre truly sparks a joy in me that i can’t explain especially when it’s as good as this.

squid game

kdrama series

the reason why i watched this was because it looked similar to alice in borderland which i thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. so glad i was able to feel the same way with this one as well. even though they are similar in some aspects, they have a lot of differences as well.

the aesthetics were insanely great and the execution and acting were even better. lots of lessons can be learned from the series and i like how it didn’t just focus on the injustices or problems of the main character. really satisfied with how they made this drama and i sincerely hope for a second season. i guess i agree when people say it’s worth the hype.

my roommate is a gumiho

kdrama series

the reason why i watched this drama was because the title was so interesting and so far, gumiho dramas have never disappointed me. as expected, i greatly enjoyed this drama. hye-ri’s acting was something i was very pleased and surprised about. her facial expressions were spot on and her voice is just absolute music to my ears.

i adored the chemistry not just between the lead characters but with their relationship with the supporting ones as well. the funny parts of the drama was just so perfect for my sense of humor. my favorite character would have to be hye-sun, though! this drama was a breath of fresh air!

put your head on my shoulder

cdrama series

it’s been years since i last seen this one and it’s such a cute series. i decided to rewatch it as i needed a break from the thrillers. this series is definitely something that brought me comfort these days. i needed something chill, cute, fun, and at the same time, not bore me to death.

i’ll always rave about their height difference, i swear.

law school

kdrama series

this series drove me crazy! the cinematography was great and i just adore the theme song so much. one of the greatest ones they put out this year, honestly. it’s one of those dramas that you will surely miss. the plot was interesting and it wasn’t dragging at all—in fact, i found it very hanging but satisfying. definitely one of the ones where i would demand another season. there’s so much potential and so much i want them to focus on.

this drama made me miss school as well as the teachers who really made an impact in my life. with everything going on, it would be really helpful to have a mentor by my side.

this drama also made me realize that kim bum will always be my first and he will forever be my celebrity crush. no one smiles like him, i swear.

bring it on, ghost

kdrama series

took a break from watching intense thrillers so i decided to watch this drama from 2016.

why didn’t i watch this before? it’s so good. i genuinely find the plot interesting that i finished it so fast. i love the chemistry not just between the two main leads but with the supporting characters as well.
