#TheFirstJasmine #CDrama Masterclass in story telling 👏🏽. Outstanding performances from Bai Lu and Cheng Lei. Ye Li was such a badass character, even with her traumatic experience and tragic circumstances of Li 🏔️ 😭🥹. I was so devastated on her behalf. The ending was so emotional 🥲

#ABonaFideKiller #KDrama Gong Hyo Jin slayed in this drama. Never a dull moment, in this suspense based drama. Jung Joon Won was equally brilliant with the adorable girl Yul. Loved all the side characters especially Kingfisher’s squad 🥹. Massive respect to Hyo Jin’s stuntwoman 🫡

#TheApartmentJob #KDrama Ji Sung is back, charming as ever with equally charming crew ❤️🥺. Love the fake family that eventually became a real family. The cutie pie little boy was so adorable. Definitely one of the best drama I’ve seen. Missing them already 😞

#ProBono #KDrama Thrilling legal drama with social issues that highlighted how the powerless are treated. Loved the casts especially Jung Kyung Ho, he never disappoints. Every episode was great even though some were triggering. I had to take a deep breath lol.

To my #KDrama/#CDrama folks who read my posts and likes them, I’m going to take a break from watching dramas starting next month. I feel like I’ve neglected other language shows I wanted to watch. Even if I watch dramas, it might take a long gap to post. To my fellow fans, happy watching 🥰

My #KDrama ? & topic Are any kdrama fans skipping the drama Our Sticky Love because of recent controversy of actress Ha Young’s Pro 🇯🇵 family?. As someone who is not Korean, 🇰🇷 might come a long way since 🇯🇵 rule, but the pain of colonization will be always be there like an 🐘 in the room ⬇️

#UnderTheSkin #CDrama I was in the mood for a investigative procedural drama and this caught my 👁️. What I love about this drama is snippets of art lessons and how the Shen Yi got his redemption. If you are a fan of short episode dramas this might be up your alley 😊

#CanThisLoveBeTranslated #KDrama I loved the wackiness of this romcom and how both Cha Mu Hee and Do Ra Mi bewildered Ho Jin 😂😂😂. The second couple were good too. The 🇯🇵 guy cracked me up 😂. Sometimes I feel like mental health issues are taken lightly in dramas which I wish it would change.

#MeetYourself #CDrama This drama healed me in ways I can’t describe 🥺. Such a soul fulfilling, down to 🌍 drama 👏🏽. Returning to your roots is not always a bad thing. Fulfilling life doesn’t mean luxury 🏠 and 🚗. Hopefully viewers learned something from this show like I did 😊

#TheLegendOfKitchenSoldier #KDrama I’ve never seen such a hilarious, over the top, dramatic military show based in culinary 😂. I loved every single moment of this drama. Park Ji Hoon started off from depressed grieving young man to confident and happy person 🥺. Kanglim Post, you are missed 😩

#ThePriceOfConfession #KDrama Both lead actresses Kim Go Eun and Jeon Do Yeon delivered a strong performances in this gripping thriller. I’m 🤯 at Kim Go Eun. Is there anything she can’t do?. A tragic tale of justice undelivered leading to suffering.

#Serendipity #CDrama What I liked about this drama was wholesome female friendship, women empowerment and SML not turning petty and vengeful after he was rejected. Although I did feel sad for him because he was a good man. Last two episodes was underwhelming with two unnecessary deaths 🙄.

#RebornRookie #KDrama Am I the only one who noticed the glaring misogyny and sexism in this drama?. The Chairman was 🗑️. I don’t blame Jae Gyeong for turning evil. She had to be bad for the sake of the plot but her bro gets a redemption arch?. Give me a break. Argh 😠

#TheEastPalace #KDrama Phenomenal drama with phenomenal cast. Every episode was so thrilling and the casts, with their acting chops were incredible 😍. Filled with twist and turns. Special mention to the cute and creepy ggeomeoksali 😂. I want a 2nd season with that creature lol.

#LoveBetweenFairyAndDevil #CDrama Astounding!. Superb!. Unforgettable!. What a 🎢 ride of an amazing story and even more the main leads, Esther Yu and Dylan Wang. Color me shocked when I saw Zhang Linghe as a SML 😂. I’m going to suffer from withdrawal symptoms like I never had before 😩.

#MyRoyalNemesis #KDrama Heo Nam jun and Lim Ji Yeon were so cute in this drama. I loved their hate love scenes 😂. But I had to skip two episodes because I wasn’t interested in the convergence of both FL’s lives. I also loved the chaotic relationship between Min Seok and Ji Yeon 😂.

#TheWonderfools #KDrama I 😂 so much watching this wacky drama. My fav character is Kang Ro Bin. He is such a sweetheart and genuine person. Park Eun Bin as usual nailed her role. Everyone did well.

#Cashero #KDrama Sorry to say this is the only Lee Jun Ho’s drama that I didn’t like. The drama suffered under messy writing with a lot of plot that was unexplained. Like how there was a family that wreaks havoc and they don’t suffer by consequences!. How did the ML bought an apartment in the end?

#PhantomLawyer #KDrama I didn’t want this drama to end 😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹. Every episode was touching especially the last one 💔. I’ve seen several Yoon Seok dramas and I’ve never seen him acting goofy like this one 😂. What a blessing to have a wholesome family supporting each other as families should be 👏🏽

#MoonlitReunion #CDrama Only watched two episodes and I’ve decided to drop it for now. The story didn’t grab me. Maybe I’ll revisit in the future. Plus, the 2 minute ad on Disney is driving me 🥜. I’ve always thought fantasy was one of my favorite genre but this ain’t it, which is sad.

#AshesToCrown #CDrama A typical rebirth trope with a bunch of losers vying for the throne through 🪝 and crook. An average show with stunning production. Nice to see little Bao Er playing the 🤴 again lol. At least it was a happy ending.

#TheScarecrow #KDrama This was such a hard watch 😣. It was so triggering, brutal and heartbreaking 💔. The amount of corruption and incompetence by the 👮‍♀️ left me feeling murderous because this happens in real life. I absolutely loathed the prosecutor and the killer 😡. Last episode was 🥺

It’s time for another #CDrama(& maybe #KDrama) rant too: I’ve been noticing that bunch of dramas starts out strong but fizzles in the end leading me to question did I even like watching them in the first place. It’s more prevalent in cdramas. Like a splendid match, prisoner of beauty to name a few

#ASplendidMatch #CDrama Well done 👏🏽. I loved the intense chemistry between Ci Sha and Ren Min. I’ve seen them in RoN. The last 4 episodes bizarrely derailed with unnecessary deaths as usual. And the plot with the crazy nephew was bonkers. Hats off to little Peesha, the king. He was awesome 🤩

#SpringFever #KDrama Aaah, I’m squealing 😍, what a cute fluffy romance 😊. I’m left with a wide grin on my face after the last episode. The drama ended well with everyone’s issues resolved and moving on healthily and happily. Didn’t really care for the other teacher’s romance 🤷🏽‍♀️.

My #CDrama rant: I am absolutely flabbergasted at why some writers/directors are so obsessed with sad/horrible endings. It’s like they want the viewers to be miserable. That’s why I always google if a drama has a happy ending. If not, I won’t even bother. Like bish I live in the 🇺🇸, everyday is a ⬇️

#PositivelyYours #KDrama Sure this drama was totally a pro natalist propaganda but I loved the leads Choi Jin Hyuk and Oh Yeon Seo. Viewers were whining non stop about how old the main leads were but I think the casting was perfect. The random screaming of the sis in law was weird lol.

Gowrie- child free by choice @bookworm2169.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

I’m currently watching #PositivelyYours and it’s obvious that it’s a pro natalist propaganda 💩. In a capitalist patriarchal society, having a baby when the mother is not emotionally equipped for motherhood and giving up her dream is romanticized because…abortion is vilified and the birth rate is ⬇️

My #KDrama/#CDrama rant: I’m so f**king tired of Viki viewer’s constant misogyny and sexism when it comes to female leads. These losers always comment on female actresses age, how ugly they look and how much of a bad actresses they are. This is why I don’t turn on the comment section.

#ToMyBelovedThief #KDrama What a beautiful drama 😍. Granted I am not happy with the way the writers made the FL seemed clumsy and careless while masquerading as a thief. They wrapped up the ending very maturely and neat. So glad the SFL was not a jealous, unhinged lady(so tired of that trope 🙄)

#LightToTheNight #CDrama A bittersweet, grim investigative tale that ends in tragic circumstances 😢🥺. I saw the twist coming 😩. A well written procedural story, maybe with some plot holes. Still a deserving watch.

#TyphoonFamily #KDrama I loved the second couple more imo. The plot went around & around, like the good guys will catch a break, then the bad guys will get the upper hand, rinse & repeat. Still a good watch.

#MaidenHolmes #CDrama Lol I didn’t know this was Zhang Linghe’s debut drama 😂. He looks so different in this. A very cutesy friendship drama with romance and intrigue.

#UndercoverMissHong #KDrama We need more female centric, non romance kdramas that centers on female friendships because this is one the most heartwarming dramas I’ve ever watched. All the female characters including little Bom rocked. Chef’s kiss.

#PursuitOfJade #CDrama Hands down the best cdrama of 2026!. Love the show so much, Tian Xiwei and Zhang Linghe truly lived their characters 😍. Loved their chemistry and Xiwei’s character is written beautifully. The end where the dead people of Lin A waved at Changyu broke me 😢.

#PursuitOfJade #CDrama I haven’t finished watching PoJ yet but I’m so frustrated with the female lead 🙄. She went through all the troubles to find her sister and she ended going to battle which could potentially kill her?. Pulling my hair here 😫

#IdolI #KDrama I loved this drama and both the leads. Give me a murder mystery and romance and I’m seated. Watching the parasocial weirdo’s behaviors towards their idol was so disturbing because it happens in real life.

#ADreamWithinADream #CDrama I was so frustrated with the FL in this drama omg. My 🩸 pressure was rising whenever she acted so presumptuous. Nevertheless, I managed to finish this drama. Slightly above average. Lots of funny moments.

#DynamiteKiss #KDrama So this drama was a typical romcom with cliches that you would fine in any other romcoms. Having said that, what worked in this drama was the natural performances from both the leads, Jang Ki Yong and Ahn Eun Jin. Loved the end credits where the casts danced together.

#SirensKiss #KDrama Park Min Young and Wi Ha Joon sizzled in their chemistry with each other. Their scenes were just 🔥. Even though it was predictable, I was curious enough to see how they wrap up the story. It didn’t disappoint.

#ADreamWithinADream #CDrama I rarely comment on a drama until I finish all the episodes but I have to with this one. Omg I really can’t with Li Yi Tong dying over and over again 😂😂😂. And her trying to foolproof everything and still ends up dying 😂. Looking forward to more shenanigans from her lol

#LoveGameInEasternFantasy #CDrama I loved this drama lots. Whoever dubbed the voice for the FL, you did a fantastic job. I laughed at the antics of the FL. Loved the costumes, production design and most importantly the ending, though I wish there was 10 minutes more devoted to the main couple

#MoonRiver #KDrama Kang Tae Oh and Kim Se Jeong lit this drama on fire with their natural chemistry and goofy ass scenes 😂😂😂. KSJ is an underrated actress and KTO is so talented. Thank you for giving us viewers a happy ending and no unnecessary character death. One of the best romcom fantasy.

This whole plot twist is rubbish writing. Looks like the core storyline was wound up too soon so they threw in any old dramatic nonsense to fill the last episodes. As a writer, I'm not only deeply disappointed, I'm pissed. I don't object to setbacks, I expected a Wutuo war, but this absurd.

#LegendOfTheFemaleGeneral #CDrama This was an excellent drama but the last 3 episodes were complete rubbish. It was so unnecessary and it seems like the director ran out of ideas and decided to kill off one of the character. So dumb. I couldn’t even be happy about the ending smh 😡.
