#tvn crash course in romance

[kojandra]

romance isn’t always kissing and hugging, it’s often “saw this and wanted to share with you,” “don’t worry we will find her,” “I heard you and I am reconsidering my opinion of this person”, and “I want to see you even though I’m busy” y’all know that right?

[dramadaisies]

honestly I’m so sick of the “oops-I-unknowingly-studied-the-test-questions-in-advance-do-I-keep-quiet-or-do-I-tell-the-truth-and-potentially-ruin-my-future” trope

like, if you get these materials out of nowhere and had literally no idea what they were, getting an automatic zero and potentially jeopardising your university admissions is so so unfair

for both sunjae and haeyi, there was genuinely no way out of that situation, so why should they be penalised for telling the truth???

it also irks me that sunjae’s mentally ill brother was being INVESTIGATED FOR MURDER and he was still expected to perform as well as the other students

I don’t know if it’s just in dramas or if it’s the same way in real life but whyyy are there no procedures for properly dealing with this sort of thing?!

in most places in the world, there’s special consideration standardised across all schools for these kind of circumstances

[survivalistghost]

my fatal flaw is that i watch edits of the couple and ruin their moments for me before watching the series

📰 🍜💖   Crash Course in Romance 💖 🍜 📰 

Fanart of this amazing show 🥺💖 One of my favorites kdramas from this year so far ⛺ 🤦‍♀️💞 

[somedayillbepeterpan]

Indulge me if you will, but here are the things I'm thankful for about Crash Course in Romance/Ilta Scandal.

There are a lot reviews for this show about what could have worked and what they didn't get right. I will get to that since I'm only human but before all that, CCIR/Ilta Scandal team, thank you so much.

-Thank you for giving Jung Kyungho the lead that he has said is the closest to his heart which even his gf, Choi Sooyoung, have said. For giving him a character that showcased his range and his undeniable charm. He's been under the radar for far too long. Which I actually didn't realise because he steals the scene for whenever he is on in all the shows I've seen of him so far. He actually first caught my eye from that random cameo he has from the 1st episode of Crash Landing on You (is the title fate or just a Netflix marketing ploy?)

-Thank you for introducing me to Jeon Do Yeon. I'm not korean but I read that a lot of the actors/actresses in SoKor chose Jeon Do Yeon as their acting influence. She is a fire that won't be extinguished. She put a credibility and strength in Nam Haengseon's character that I cannot imagine anyone else playing her. But, she was also so good in her art that I could clearly see Nam Haengseon brought to life by how the writer/director intended it. I am definitely going to watch anything that she's on right now.

-Thank you for showcasing a love story between people who were middle-aged and are in a moment in their lives where they didn't think that they deserved any change. Who were used to how equally mundane and chaotic their lives were. I loved that while the title cards represented the whole theme of the episode, it was pretty much focused on the development of Chiyeol and Haengseon's relationship. It was playful and thematic but also had actually really good meanings behind them. Someday, I'll get to writing an analysis on the title cards.

-Thank you for also not highlighting Chiyeol's wealth as something to save Haengseon. Too many kdramas give this "hero" status to the wealthy characters. I love that Haengseon was who she was from beginning to the end. Fiercely simply beautiful. She didn't need saving but there were moments that she was stopped at sacrificing too much. She was the "hero" in the story. A three dimensional hero.

CCIR/Ilta Scandal has many flaws and I will get to it too but I love it so much that I know that even though I'm frustrated, I'm willing to overlook them (I can't get over my frustration over the no-mention of the dream kiss).

🪻2023 My Kdrama Watchlist Award🪻

Last year I was so lazy and end up not doing the award show but I mention my best drama though..this year I'm a bit diligent coz not many drama I watch so it's easy to post😅

Before I begin I would like to make honourable mention:

Best Drama in January 2022: Our beloved Summer

Should have included in 2022 drama award but I forgot to include😅

So let's start with January- June :

Best Drama 2023

Crash Course in Romance (TVN)

This is the only drama that I watch during January till June..😅

No drama ever replaced them😅 the plot and chemistry was good..the ending as usual cliche but I love it.

Next, June till December 2023:

Best Drama 2023

Moving ( Disney+)

This is the best drama ever.its based on webtoon.

A superhero family kinda like drama..new fresh genre. Plus there's melo in it😍

Recommended to watch..seem like there will be season 2 maybe based on the cliffhanger on the ending.

Best Healing Drama 2023

See u in My 19th Life (TVN)

Quite healing as I still tears up remembering how shin hye sun said seo ha name.

It's also webtoon based. The incarnation story and how she remember every life really touched me.

Again TVN likes to ending in cliche way.

Best Mother and Daughter/ Police Drama 2023

Not Others ( ENA,Gennie TV,TVING)

At first I attracted coz there park sung Hoon and sooyoung..but the drama really attracted me to watch till finish.

The romance was moderate due to this drama focus on mother & daughter relationship plus police stuff.

The chemistry is good👍

And that's it..lastly best couple drama belong to

All of them😍😍😍😍

Happy New Year Everyone

P/s my demon and the story of park marriage contract will be include in 2024 as the drama has not finished..

Thank you for reading.

Kdrama Review~

Crash Course in Romance (2023)

Genre: Romance, Comedy, Mystery, Thriller

My Rating: 8/10

The Good:

Main Leads

The chemistry was thanks to Jung Kyung Ho and Jeon Do Yeon! They're perfect for the role, especially Do Yeon with her smirk 😏. Their bickering was so entertaining. The side couples are cute too!

Hilarious

So many scenes to laugh out loud 🤣.

Touching

I love the friendships and family. They were all so touching and wholesome 🥺.

Satisfying Ending

Happy ending for the main characters ❤️.

Thre Bad:

Mystery/Murder Plot

It was unnecessary, draggy and poorly written. There was no proper closure.

Overall, the good parts overshadowed the bad. It was a sweet and funny drama.

[kojandra]

✨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
