Yumieui Sepodeul (2021)
Quite Boring and looks like a rip off of Pixar's "Inside Out"
Fell asleep three times in three different days and times while watching only episode 1.
I like Go Eun (loved her in Goblin), and I know the lead actor from "Her Private Life". The cast was not a problem. But the plot was so draggy and unnecessarily loooong!
Ugh... I dropped it.
Sseul-sseul-ha-go cha-ran-ha-sin-do-ggae-bi (2016)
Just like the Goblin, this drama will never get old!
If you are thinking of watching this, get ready for a greatly written, well acted, brilliant drama with the best OSTs and beautiful cinematography!
This was filmed in 2016 but, I only saw this in 2021 but, did not feel the time difference! This drama is quite ageless.
The only cons I saw was the ending for Goblin, and the age gap between the Goblin and the bride actors. Eventhough they had somewhat of a chemistry (the cute kind), it wasn't enough to over power the age gap so sometimes their intimate moments felt inappropriate or awkward. But, I swear their acting made up for it!
The ending of the drama for the Goblin contradicts his purpose for immortal life so I felt like the writers didn't think about it well.
But, yes. Those are the only cons. Everything else were superb! I loved the second leads as well. They had the most gripping love story. And when you watch the drama you will start to care for all the characters. Even the side ghosts!
So, get your tissues and popcorn ready. And witness this masterpiece. Because, this is a must watch!
Sex Education (2019)
Give us more Ruby and Otis!
Okay, till Season 3 happened, I was all about Maeve and Otis, and was so bummed how they ended Season 2. Even was mad at Isaac for being such a douche.
But, Season 3 gave us Ruby and Otis, who were not at all toxic, had better dynamic, best chemistry ever, and such a fun plot!
Honestly Ruby carried the show and I was bored when they decreased her screan time after the break up.
I like Maeve, as a strong female lead. But, at this point, I do not like her with Otis. She was constantly trying to find faults with Otis when she so easily forgave Isaac for basically manipulating her. And only got back with Otis when Isaac called the quits.
Nope. That's not how you choose Otis. He deserves better.
I'm happy she gets to go to States. And hopefully she stays in America and never comes back!
I know the way it ended for Ruby and Otis it doesn't seem like they can be back together. But, writers, do your magic and cook something up! Give us Season 4! And make Ruby and Otis last!
Thank you!
Algoissjiman: Nevertheless, I Still... (2021)
Gives a dangerous message to viewers
The worst ending ever! Avoid this drama if you love non-toxic relationships and mind peace.
This was a webtoon adaptation. However, unlike the webtoon, the drama goes with a typical kdrama ending and romanticizes the very toxic playboy lead and his manipulative behavior.
What a disappointment.

Human Healing Drama
This is my very first K-Drama that I have watched after Full House (that aired at least a decade ago). So, I was able to watch this with a fresh mind, with no expectations. I didn't know who the leads were, having not watched any K-Drama/ movie before therefore, I guess I can write an unbiased review as I am impartial to any of "fandoms".
I initially watched this because there was nothing else to watch in Netflix. This kept on getting suggested to me and I gave in. What I didn't know was that it would turn out to be one of the BEST dramas I've ever watched!
Where to begin?
The cast: The whole cast (not just the leads) are quite talented. I believe that each and every cast member helped to breath life to their characters. It was as if I was looking into lives of real people with real emotions who have had their own live problems and are trying to overcome them by leaning on each other.
The lead characters were exceptional. Especially the actor who played the character of the brother with autism. I have a cousin sister with autism and I was amazed at how accurate his portrayal was. For many episodes I actually believed it was a real person with autism not just an actor doing a great job!
Moving on to the main couple, Ko Moon Young, the female lead with anti personal disorder (I believe she was misdiagnosed), is one of a kind character. At first she is rude, obnoxious, and borderline obsessive. It is quite easy to dislike such a character. But, the actress pulled this difficult task with elegance, style and grace that you can't help but fall in love with her even before the male lead would. She has the best character arc in the show going on to become the most lovable and warm character at the end.
I found the male lead to be quite normal when compared to the other two, however, he is not always likeable. He has his faults, he is not a knight in shining armor, he too makes mistakes and sometimes does not even correct them just like a typical human being would do. It was a realistic portrayal of a man being pressured to take care of his brother with autism all his life, sacrificing all his needs. We see the story from his perspective.
The Story/ Writing: I should say the writer and the team has paid attention to every small detail of the story. The way things connect just marveled me. The dialogues are not cheesy or unrealistic. It's quite thoughtful and meaningful and though provoking. There are many relatable quotes that you can take away from this show.
Also, there are few books that were written by the scriptwriter her self! These books, if you get your hands on them, are great as well. Each book contains a children's story that is acting as a cry for help from Ko Moong Young. You will see each story's significance when you watch this drama.
Directing: I believe the director and the production team has paid attention to every small angle, lighting, view and even every breath by actors! It is quite exceptional how magical some scenes were!
Soundtrack: It is hauntingly beautiful and funny when it needs to be. I loved every OST
Overall Verdict: Highly recommended.
