✨dramas i watched in 2023 and my ratings for them✨

May contain spoilers and spoiler alert: It was a very very good kdrama year.

1. Business Proposal, SBS  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ idc y’all this broke my kdrama slump. SO GOOD even though I’m not usually into cheesy romcom. Great start to the year. Even tho this drama is from last yr.

2. Jung_E (do kmovies count? i’m making them count), Netflix  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good scifi! A lesson in ethics but the production focused on sentiments rather than action...if you’re into that. (Train to Busan’s director!) I did like it but at some times I wasn’t immersed- but I think for movies I should be completely immersed!! anyways. 

3. Somebody, Netflix  ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 that was some fucked up psychological thriller shit. Excellent ending. Everything v good except that was some fucked UP shit. And I’m judging y’all if y’all simping over male mc -_-....................

4. The Good Detective 2, SBS. ⭐⭐ Bro I gave up on this drama because it was so boring. Season 1 was so much better. This one kinda dragged. I think I stopped watching at ep 10. Two stars for effort (and for oh ji hyuk <3)

5. The Glory part 2, Netflix ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  fuck the ending tho it shoulda ended where she jumped off the building. It just got worse and worse (i think i gave up when i saw jae-jun’s ending). Absolutely loved the high while watching this, hated that they split it up into two parts bc i lost some of the hype at the beginning of season 2. Such good acting oooof

6. Crash course in romance, tvN ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  Suuuccchhh a good romance high from watching this. The ending fell flat for me...like it was bland. Also. Huijae deserved better. Comedy is weightlifting fairy vibes (bc same writer). And jung kyung ho!!!!!

7. Taxi Driver Season 2, SBS  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ i aint even lying wit you this season was better than the first. nuff said. Forever heart eyes for kim dok gi. 100% would not be mad if SBS decided to renew for third season. I mean...Voice is thriving.

8. Queenmaker, Netflix  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ it’s giving....Miss Sloane (2016) (american movie....watch it hahaha). I was just riding the high until the end, honestly. We all need someone that believes in us this much. What i believe to be the slogan of this show: a win is a win.

9. Divorce Attorney Shin, JTBC  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you know I love my lawyer shit 💖 love this one. It’s wholesome. It’s cozy. It feels like...the law version of hospital playlist. WATCH.

10. Dr. Cha, JTBC ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ every episode made me more and more angry. good shit. Good angry though I’m not even lying.

11. The Good Bad Mother, JTBC ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  If you’re looking to feel things...this is for you. Anger, sadness, happiness, fluff, my favourite domestic couple....yeah I got all the feels. Revenge plot was a bit rushed so I wasn’t feeling it near the end.

12. Dr. Romantic 3, SBS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ooooouuu this was almost a five star but that one arc with nurse euntak and areum kinda ruined the flow for me. loveeed jang do hwa’s arc even though it took a while.

13. Agency, JTBC ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EXCELLENT. Love my corporate dramas. TF team support all the way 😍 (ALSO giving Miss Sloane (2016)) Dunno why I dropped a star, it just didn’t FEEL like a five star to me. ngl this would have been a five if I hadn’t watched queenmaker first. Very similar (probably why I like both of them).

14. Numbers, MBC ⭐️⭐️⭐️ If i’m not mistaken, this is my first accounting drama (WHICH IS WHY I HAD REALLY HIGH HOPES FOR IT)? Love the characters, plot has potential, but it’s so hard to watch with the bad direction sorry man. I just feel like some parts could have been more smooth, or less cringey. It’s giving....2016 KBS dramas that are 70 episodes long. I did learn some cool things about accounting though. Spoiler but: i didnt feel satisfied by the revenge plot. 

15. The Revenant, SBS   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 So I hate ghosts and ghost stories. This didn’t feel cringey to me? Like I almost believed in ghosts natural? But also it has Kim Tae Ri, Oh Jung Se, and Kim Won Hae as leads sooo am I surprised? I SHOULDNT BE BUT I AM. This got me scared to go to sleep but worth it! I’m still so confused on some holes in the plot but I won’t dwell on them too much. So maybe this was a five star in disguise??

16. Not Others, ENA  ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 It was cute haha. Soo Young can’t beat Tell Me What You Saw (imo) that one’s goat.

17. Shadow Detective, Disney+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Okay ngl it took me a while to get into it because it was so boring. I thought it would be more fast paced bc it’s only eight episodes. It got SUPER interesting at episode 6 and i loved 6, 7, 8. 8 was kinda anti climatic. I tried season 2 but I got so bored soo....we jus gonna leave it at the season 1 ending. (but if anyone else has watched this pls spoil it for me and tell me what happens hahhahha)

18. Celebrity, Netflix  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was highkey so satisfying (and a great binge watch). Jun Kyung best boi <3

19. A Time Called You, Netflix  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 BIIIITCH THAT WAS GOOD (I cried maybe a bit) (and maybe I only watched it bc my bb ahn hyo seop). A story about destinies and fate. And time travel. Thoroughly enjoyed the group dynamic and all the characters had a purpose. Warning: hella time skips. 0.5 taken off because they did koo yeon jun’s og love line dirty. But the rest? A+. I would watch again. And for this one: I actually liked the ending. I didn’t watch the original Taiwanese drama (Someday or One Day) but this one was definitely giving Your Name by Makoto Shinkai.

20. My Lovely Liar, tvN   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ y’all that was cute!!! It got really slow in the middle. I watched it as it came out but I think if I was bingeing I’d skip chunks haha. The murder plot was kinda boring after a bit. The plot twist was kinda...not necessary. Couple pairing tho???? A+. I want more.

21. The Killing Vote, SBS   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5  I always seem to have problems with the ending right? This one was good. I was already satisfied..it didn’t feel rushed. Story was insane, everything was SO good. MUST BINGE WATCH. The energy definitely flows throughout the drama and ......it gives squid game. Only a bit. Good pacing too! 

22. Doctor Lawyer, MBC  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SLOW. BURN. But damn was it good. Drama made me so mad like fuh this world is so corrupt. Props to main character for doing that bc that could never be me.

23. Twinkling Watermelon, tvN  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Everyone that needs a comfort youth fantasy drama gotta watch this. I cried a lot, I got angry, I lived with these characters. MUST WATCH. The only thing I have against this is the ending and epilogue. Ruined the vibes going for me. I wanted more insight to the characters at the end! It wasn’t enough!!!

24. Perfect Marriage Revenge, MBN  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FOUR WORDS: KDRAMAS ARE SO BACK.

25. The Worst of Evil, Disney+   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 A good slow burn, in my opinion.

26. Strong Girl Nam Soon, JTBC  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ LOVE!

27. Daily Dose of Sunshine, Netflix  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent excellent drama about mental health disorders and gave me very thoughtful insight into treatment and patient care. Especially loved the character arc of Jung Da-Eun and Min Deul-Re.

please recommend me dramas! what are we watching this year?

dramas i’d rewatch: crash course in romance, queenmaker, agency, twinkling watermelon, daily dose of sunshine

my yearly reviews starting from 2021: 2021 | 2022

Kim Yong Ji in SOMEBODY (2022) dir. Jung Ji Woo requested by anonymous

[leaving-fragments]

i did like the sexuality aspect in somebody, they had female characters actually exploring, enjoying and having power over their sexuality, they had lesbian characters, they had a disabled woman and an autistic woman have sexuality and be in control of it, that part of it was really nice to see but- the whole show lead nowhere.

none of the characters are explained (it's kind of attempted to show some childhood experiences that are supposedly the reason for their being the way they are but it's so disconnected and vague it doesn't help), half the time there seems to be no reason for the plot or it's completely illogical that characters act the way they do, and at no point is it clear what a character is thinking or where they stand. it's almost like they tried to make the characters so edgy and mysterious that they ended up being completely unintelligible even to the viewer

[thistherethat]

the final look that wilhelm gave the camera after being set free from his crown was the only happiest, non-anxious, look he's ever given throughout the entire series

[luminarai]

The virgin Mikio:

Got kicked out of the cool kids club. Couldn’t befriend a horse. Literally fought and killed his wife’s old mother then turned to her and said “I love you🥺”. Died from one blade to the gut. Left wife when she was being jumped by multiple people because she beat him in one ☝️ sparring session. Panics when wife shows an inch of manliness and pins him.

The Chad Taigen:

Went from poor kid to prized sword student. Overcame bullying prejudice. Protected enemy just so he could kill the enemy himself. Let enemy heal to have a fair fight. Got tortured for days on end and simply had the immunity of a cockroach. Childhood enemy disguised beats him in multiple battles and he eventually admits their skills are better than him. Got ‘really happy’ when who he thought was a man pinned him.

Ngl, this made me scream cackle when I read it, 10/10 nonnie, I love you

But for real, the villain decay of Taigen is hilarious, it’s so good because during the first part of season one my samurai scale from ‘actually the worst’ to ‘my beloved can do no wrong’ looked like this

and then they introduced Mikio and the bottom of the scale immediately dropped out to this

Season 1 Viktor woke up and calls out to Jayce then realizes that he's dying.

in Season 2 the first person he sees after waking up is also Jayce, only this time he has another chance at life.

Starts with hexcore and ends with hexcore. These parallels keeps killing me.

[retrieveire]

the whole idea of enid being unable to wolf out without wednesday is insane to me. in a good way. like wednesday is her moon and it’s so evil

[acertifiedwitch]

Crystal: This is my boyfriend Charles and that is Charles’ boyfriend Edwin.

Random Ghost Cameo: Oh! Wait, sorry, what’s the situation?

Crystal: What do you mean?

RGC: How does this work?

Crystal: Charles is gay, but he’s straight for me, but he’s gay for Edwin and Edwin is really gay for Charles. And Edwin and I hate each other.

Charles: It’s not that complicated

Edwin: No.

[boardboxes]

“It’s okay. You’re safe. We’re home.”

[xiuminsmygrandpa]

Rewatching episode 8 and there’s so many amazing scenes but my fave moment has to be when Crystal says she could get used to Edwin being nicer to her and he goes “not a chance in hell” knowing full well he escaped hell not once but TWICE. They really match each others bitch and I love that for them.

[ultr4vjolence]

@givemea-dam-break missed them to the point of creation !!! i just caught up w ch39 and felt a lil more clinically insane over them than usual <3

omg y'all can u believe the writers loved heart's fury sm they made it canon in the live action ????? crazy ik!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yoko and Wednesday would be so sibling core???

Yoko groaned and leaned on Divina's, pouting as Divina sympathetically patted her head.

Wednesday stared at her in disgust. "What is wrong with you today, Tanaka?"

Yoko pulled Divina into her lap, cuddling up to her and putting her head on her girlfriends shoulder. "The school's out of blood and we're not allowed to hunt so we have to wait for more blood from the blood bank."

Wednesday tilted her head slightly, biting her cheek in consideration. "...Huh..."

Yoko stared at her in confusion and slight fear. "What's huh??? What does that mean??? What are you planning???"

"Nothing. Pay attention to your girlfriend."

Divina giggled and crawled out of Yoko's lap, leaving her pouting as she tried to get her teddy bear back, distracted.

Wednesday was planning.

Later

The intercom crackled on. "Um, there has been an anonymous donation of blood... For every type. So thank you our, um, anonymous donor." The principal's voice faded out as the message was done, Yoko quickly standing up and running to the infirmary after a full day without blood.

She missed the proud look in Wednesdays eyes.

Enid and Bianca didn't.

"... girl what did you do??" Bianca stared at her. Divina stopped her staring at her girlfriend to glance over at them, activating her gossip senses and crossing her legs as she tuned into their conversation.

"Nothing, Barclay. I simply made a donation." Wednesday glanced at her newly painted nails (courtesy of Enid) and picked at her cuticles, getting the fresh dirt from last night out.

Enid gently held her hand, hesitating to see if she was comfortable with it before scooting closer to her. "Willa, where exactly did you get all the blood?"

Wednesday paused, considering the least concerning answer. "... Some generous people offered to donate their blood."

Bianca snorted. "Donated? More like stood too close to you so you decided they were volunteers to bleed out."

Wednesday shook her hand in a so-so gesture.

Divina followed Bianca's lead and snorted.

Yoko reappeared, happily sipping a blood bag.

"Nothing."

"The morals of cannibalism." Bianca and Wednesday spoke at the same time. The rest of their turned to Wednesday.

"What the fuck Wednesday?"

"Addams. What was that."

"Willa when was the last time you spoke to your therapist?" Yoko, Bianca and Enid spoke respectively while Divina broke down laughing.

Wednesday put her head down on the table and grumbled "God forbid I make a joke..." Yoko raised an eyebrow but shrugged, going back to finishing her blood bag. She wiped the blood off of her face and grinned.

"Wednesdayyyyy, did you donate blood for me?" Yoko teased randomly.

"...what?" Wednesday lifted her head up, staring at her.

"One of the blood types was your blood. Was that not-? Did you not-? Did you not get blood drawn and donate it to the school?" Yoko stammered to explain, watching as their heads slowly turned to Wednesday.

"Babe. Did you donate your own blood? I thought you just donated others blood! Are you ok, are you hurt, are you..." Enid trailed off and pouted at her as Yoko stared in confusion.

"What's happening?" Divina sighed and patted Yoko's hand.

"Wednesday donated all of the blood, not just her own."

"Oh. Oh? OH! I... Should've expected that, to be honest."

Wednesday rolled her eyes as a laugh track played in the background and the screen faded to black.
