Discovery of Romance- A Review

*This review is NOT spoiler free* Whew! What a journey- this drama has plenty of ups and plenty of downs. I came out of watching it with a smile on my face, while also thinking that the smile would have been possible with just 10 episodes as well. I won't waste any time so let's…

Criminal Minds (K Drama)- A Review

I don't think I am alone in saying, I was very excited to hear that South Korea was going to remake Criminal Minds. I am a HUGE fan of the American series, having watched all 11 seasons featuring *most* of the main cast. What can I say? The psychological analysis of criminals, and the reverse-engineering…

Witch’s Court (K Drama)- A Review

I'll be completely honest, the only reason I was interested in this drama was because it sounded like a breezy romcom set in a prosecutor's office. Massive binge session later, I realize that I could not have been more wrong. Witch's Court, at its core, is primarily a courtroom/prosecutor procedural drama, with brief interjections of…

Tunnel (K Drama)- A Review

When I first read a synopsis of Tunnel, I was not interested. I have come across several dramas that involve some combination of time travelling, mysteries and detectives with dark backgrounds, and they usually fall off the rocker quite early on in the game. Plots get messy, characters do unbelievable things and the loopholes are…

In Time with You (Taiwanese Drama) – A Review

*This review is NOT spoiler free* Amongst all the different foreign language dramas that I watch on the daily, I have seen the least number of Taiwanese dramas. Although they have great storylines and fantastic actors, in my opinion, they drag out a bit too much towards the end and with most having episodes that…

Divorce Lawyer in Love (K Drama) – A Review

A surprising find, this drama took me weeks to finish. I started watching it, got through 4 episodes, and moved on to other more interesting dramas, promising to myself that I will return to this one, someday. Thankfully, that day finally arrived and I ended up watching the other 14 episodes in one massive binge-watching…

Oh! My Lady (K Drama) – A Review

*this review is NOT spoiler free* My what a sweet drama. Another noona romance, albeit one that is a little strange or feels slightly unnatural. But, here we are. The male lead is the very attractive SuJu member Choi Siwon, as Sung Min-Woo, a popular super star actor who is the national heartthrob. He is…

Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy- A Review

*this review is NOT spoiler free* This 2005 drama does not seem to have aged a bit. In contrast to other mid-2000s Kdramas (complete with numerous plot holes and dramatic twists), the plot still feels believable, makes sense and puts a smile on your face. As I finished my third rewatch of the entire series,…

Strong female leads in Asian dramas? Why are they important?

If there is a pattern in all of my drama reviews, it is my strong affinity to dramas with strong female leads. In fact, since this blog is pretty new, I have only written reviews about shows I have watched recently and LOVED. And the strong female lead is pretty much tangent to that. You…

Date: Koi to wa Donna Mono Kashira (Dating: What’s It Like To Be In Love?)- A Review

*this review is NOT spoiler free* Oh man! What a great slew of Japanese dramas I have been encountering lately. Damn. Japan has been doing some seriously great dramas. This one is another AAHHMAZING drama that has a strong female lead, and super likable characters. And the cast, OMG. I seriously don't think they could…
