#FlexXCop2 #KDrama Ahn Bo Hyung is such a delight to watch. The rest of cast did well too. Not familiar with the female lead but I want to see her more. Quite surprised Yoo Seung Ho played villain in this. Some plots didn’t make sense but still watchable.

#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 😞

Agreed. I was so invested in the cases. It wasn’t always rooted in reality but in kdramas anything is possible lol.

Ugh I actually avoid that particular ML’s dramas. If I’m not mistaken there was a scandal involving him right?.

#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 🥰

in a world where social media has taken over and people around the 🌎 has become ignorant or apathetic to history, fascism & colonization. Frankly it’s mind boggling and scary. History is not boring. Its sole purpose is to make sure we never repeat the same mistake twice 🙏🏽

some might say the actress should not be cancelled or be responsible for the ancestors wrong doings. But this is more than wrong doings. Colonization and war crimes simply doesn't disappear just because the ancestors who were war criminals or collaborators died. History exists for a reason ⬇️

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 🙄.

And weirdly the mother of the FL and the FL herself doesn’t bear any grievance or resentment against the chairman 🤦🏽‍♀️. The mother character was useless. She was a complete doormat who doesn’t even fight for her daughter against being sent off.

From my point of view it’s bad. Forgive me for spoiling one scene, but it disturbed me greatly. The 🗑️ chairman sent the youngest daughter which was the FL abroad at the age of 8 forcefully!!!. And she was miserable all because he was powerless against his eldest daughter.

#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 🥺

I don’t expect perfect ending in dramas. The least they can do is give a better closure in the end. The most baffling thing is humanizing villains by sending a message that they behave they do because they were hurt and abused in the past. No one buys that shit. And it’s very harmful.

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 I hated the parents character 😡. They threw their daughter under the 🚌 when they should have stood by her no matter what. And the thing that made me want to throw something was the daughter ended up apologizing to the mother 🤬. Another rant incoming lol.

#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 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Oh my god, I actually stopped watching the double when I found out several characters were going to get killed off. Not worth it to me. Sigh, we will not catch a break, ever.

Gowrie- child free by choice @bookworm2169.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
You hit the nail on the head. I hate it when they make a character so lovable and you are rooting for them only for a character to die. Until this day I will not forgive Prisoner of beauty for killing off that guard 🤬. It was so unnecessary. Ok my blood pressure is rising again lol

bad ending here, filled with doom and gloom. I don’t need to invest in drama that has sad and bad endings. Don’t even get me started on the open ending dramas, like why the 🐠 would they spend all that time and 💵 making a drama to end up making the viewers decide the ending lol, crazy shit

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.

in South Korea. At least in this drama most likely there will be a happy ending even though I haven’t finished watching the drama. I hope the younger generation are wise to fall for this bullshit propaganda.

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 ⬇️

I feel disgusted knowing I’m watching dramas with these problematic freaks who are so miserable in their lives. Not saying viewers should wax poetics about female artist but at least the comment section should be used for mature and respectful discussion rather than spewing hatred & garbage!

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.
