A compilation of past dramas watched. Ratings are out of 10.
It takes death to learn the preciousness of life and whom truly grieve for your loss. 10 boxes of tissues on standby during this drama marathon. [Rating: 10]
Not your usual girls in the house, who go through life struggles with you. [Rating: 10]
Lee Min Ki and his little room 19 meet their disruptor. [Rating: 10]
A story of how an actor earns money through sleeping throughout the entire show. Gong Yoo and his abs are awesome, but the ending? Nah. [Rating: 6]
Very hard for it to go wrong given that it's a classic, but they did it anyway by casting a horrible Hanazawa Rui and giving the female lead a mop hairstyle. [Rating: 6]
A cliche that doesn't need much brain usage. Hongki's baby face unfortunately puts himself across as a child trying very hard to pull off his dad's business suit. [Rating: 6]
Don't need any cheerleading stunts to fall in love with Lee Won Geun's smiley eyes. [Rating: 7]
Reincarnate as a chaebol or attach yourself to one if you don't want to work at all. [Rating: 7]
The way they're connected is jawdropping. [Rating: 9]
A dark knight's lonely path of solitude that blasts me from the start till the end. Badass Daddy's a teeny weeny bit of extreme though. [Rating: 7]
Any click will lead to a sweetheart and a happy ending. [Rating: 8]
If all soldiers were Song Joong Ki... [Rating: 7]
Quirky, cheesy and bitchy. The tug of love war never ends, but Eric's teary eyes are enough to blow you and your mind away. [Rating: 7]
The boyfriend who offers to kill all your eyesore. [Rating: 8.5]
The story of a flock of ugly ducklings transforming into dazzling stars of tomorrow. Smiles and tears of dreams, plus Kim Soo Hyun is a total heartthrob. [Rating: 10]
So badly filmed I'd almost tore the whole screen down. One representative of how sequels can go awfully wrong - Jinwoon's the only reason I've carried on. [Rating: 3]
Turn my expectations upside down with its strong writing and delivery skill. Bonus: cameo appearances of Chansung and nerdy Changmin haha. [Rating: 8]
Three funny gems whose priceless friendship will never end. [Rating: 6.5]
Many times you'll think the female lead would be better off with the second male lead, or Gary the taxi driver. Dedicated to those who fancy rekindled love story and Choi Jin Hyuk. [Ratings: 6.5]
Being all chummy with the celebrity neighbours next door, especially Sehun and his impeccable bromance with little brother Gwangsoo. Muddy ending though. [Ratings: 7]
Where extras are drooling hotter. [Ratings: 9]
Best friends and lovers. [Ratings: 10]
The second to run for TVN's Flower Series. Yoon Shi Yoon redresses the drag by populating the screen with his endless aegyo. Gladly accepted. [Ratings: 6.5]
Fun and whacky. The first installment of TVN's Flower Series showcasing a cute pillar block who can't get Chisoo's surname right. [Ratings: 7.5]
Watching two poodles in love. Park Ki-woong's Baby Why is the all-time favourite on the playlist loop. [Ratings: 7]
Wonder why I even continued, but the bromance between Grim Reaper and Goblin makes up for everything. And, LEE DONG WOOK. [Rating: 7]
Inspiring drama of how perseverance overrides every obstacle in a stressful hospital environment. Joowon's depiction of an autistic savant is truly impressive. [Rating: 7]
Stalkers after stalkers stalking stalkers... and they are all oblivious to being stalked by the Healers & co. Every minute and action is sizzling with Ji Chang Wook's hotness, yes I'm not kidding. [Rating: 10]
C'mon, let's just admit that this drama exists purely for the sake of Shinwoo-Minam shippers. [Rating: 4]
Jung Il Woo shows you how to be a cocky but adorable dork while with the weirdest shorts combination maintains a top notch crush on somebody else. Zappy with a priceless sense of humor to it. [Rating: 9]
Sugar coated on the outside, empty in the inside. Can't remember a single thing except for the emotional moments following granny mong's death, and Sunggyu's self destruction as an idol. [Rating: 6]
Snail-paced. Till the end I am least convinced that Hana (or the scriptwriter) is sane or whatnot, when she kisses the man she has been refusing for nineteen and three quarter episodes. [Rating: 6]
The hottest housemaid at your beck and call. Sungjoon is an absolute noona-killer when it comes to that pair of wistful eyes. [Rating: 7.5]
Master mode turned Friend mode turned Lover mode. [Rating: 9]
The most chic players in the romance game, but when they meet their perfect style, they stay more loyal than anybody else. [Rating: 8.5]
Jisung's astounding performance of playing seven characters in a row, and creating an everlasting Ahn Yo Na with her trademark Peace sign. [Rating: 8.5]
It isn't that bad really, if you discount the rushed ending that pans out to the disaster. [Rating: 4.5]
Spies over spies over spies over spies... Enough. Chansung's the only person earning points for this show. [Rating: 4.5]
Sums up my feelings when Team Sun-oh failed.
S1: [Rating: 9.5] - Blew me off
S2: [Rating: 6] - And let me down
Reset till you're alive [Rating: 9.5]
The day when psychologists have to depend on fortune tellers to cure their psychological problems. [Rating: 7]
So cranky. A light hearted love comedy with one of the best sound effects around. [Rating: 8]
I'll be your ghost radar, and you'll be my bomb shelter - the wittiest way of explaining skinship thus far. On a sidenote, So Ji Sub's signature get-lost gesture is so addictive and simply unforgettable. [Rating: 9]
A sadly underrated show that has shown promising cast and plot. Yoon Shiyoon's dorkiness conquers my heart. [Rating: 8]
Be gone, black magic! Kim Sae Ron and Yoon Shi Yoon make a great pairing, too bad the plot sucks so badly halfway. [Rating: 6.5]
Hard to digest at first, but it just gets better. And ahhh, first loves. [Rating: 8.5]
Great singing, terrible plot. [Rating: 5]
Forbidden love in the palace amid badly executed political dispute. Thankfully we still have Park Bo Gum as the heart-throbbing Majesty. [Rating: 6.5]
Lee Hyun Woo's out to kill with his various hairstyle charm. [Rating: 7]
Losing his real soulmate. [Rating: 8.5]
Song Kang The Guardian Demon. Yes. [Rating: 8.5]
You're my friend, lover, and family. Aww. [Rating: 8.5]
It's perfectly fine to fill your cheeks and slice out a jawline, but be truthful about it so that you can earn a Do Kyung Seok as a bonus! [Rating: 8.5]
Hoping that the sea waves can wash the wishy washy girl away. [Rating: 7]
Pure bizarre. I seriously have no recollection of the story line, except that it is gumiho-related. [Rating: 3]
It's meant to be dark and healing at the same time, but I find myself being irritated most of the time. Joongki's acting is commendable - It's the noble idiocy that screws things up. [Rating: 7]
The only person on Earth that is egoistic enough to make you fall in love with. Full marks on the romance played out between Jo Jung Suk and Park Bo Young. [Rating: 10]
Oh my So Ji Sub. [Rating: 8.5]
Anything is okay if it's Jung Hae In. [Rating: 8]
Blood are sold in disguise of tomato juices packets. [Rating: 7]
Strong head start, but loses its steam halfway through the show. The world where prosecutors do not sleep at all. [Rating: 4.5]
There's a bimbo you can't stand, but there's a Park Si-hoo next door who keeps you going. [Rating: 6]
The undying hierarchy and Joker. [Rating: 9]
Amazing plot and execution. A time-travelling Joseon scholar with looks, brains, brawn, excellent kissing skills, and a family sword that fetches unlimited supply of cash. Who'd say no? [Rating: 10]
Family card so well played you'll be howling in laughters and spilling sad tears simultaneously. [Rating: 10]
One pitches the heart and the other cuddles you to sleep. Apart from the heart splitting choices of romance, the inseparable friendship dives real deep into your heart and warm you up from within. [Rating: 9]
Simple writing, empowering emotions. Lifetime friendship and romance often comes from the goofy cliques formed during school days. [Rating: 10]
When love transcends time and all fates are intertwined, nothing beats having three little ducklings by the side to brave the love storm together. [Rating: 8]
Lee Jun-ki outshining with his impressive vampire acting skills even in the most heavily flawed storyline. Special mentions to Lee Su Hyuk who surprisingly can keep up with his vibes. [Rating: 6]
The fallout shall be eased by the best ramen selca in the world. [Rating: 8.5]
The originator for sit-up confession, coffee foam kisses, and glittering handsewn jacket. Lovely chemistry between Ha Ji-won and Hyunbin. [Rating: 8.5]
Shooting honey stars in all directions. So sweet and satisfying aww. [Rating: 9.5]
If you think life is lacking of sugar, watch this and get diabetes happily. [Rating: 8.5]
The best out of the flower series, a gem out of the dramaland. Gushing hot bromance that cleanses your eyeballs and complete the high school summer in a perfect note. [Rating: 10]
Too hilarious. Too good. [Rating: 9.5]
Public display of affection in the office is perfectly legitimised here. [Rating: 8]
F4 of the Joseon dynasty, with an exceptional flowerly (b)romance blooming between Song Joongki and Yoo Ah-in. Politics dim things down a little though, unfortunately. [Rating: 8]
One hopes for nothing but a twist to the original fairytale, and when magic works for the little mermaid and her prince charming, what else needs to be said? A pity the drama was cut short. [Rating: 8]
Of all the hotties residing in the countryside and bonding over a piece of land. [Rating: 7.5]
Strangely a nice makjang, though all revenges dip to zero in the end, like err. [Rating: 7.5]
For Jo In Sung, to Jo In Sung, the man who hails the tears of all females. [Rating: 7]
Snippets of underground love amidst painfully overdosed political scenes. [Rating: 7]
Pretty predictable. [Rating: 7]
One of the rare moments child actors actually overshadow the adults, where we have a moping king flying into rage every second. Even worse, justifying every killing/amnesia with Shaman powers. [Rating: 7]
I'm just going to be honest and admit that I watch this because of Gong Hyo Jin and Kim Soo Hyun. No regrets if you're a big fan of the duo, they're so cute together. [Rating: 7]
Most amazingly paired couple that swings the entire momentum for the show. Kim Bum is the ultimate puppy I'd want to keep in my pocket. [Rating: 9]
Don't ask why I even bothered, it's a mystery to me too. Catch Dramabeans' awesome sarcasm recaps, that rips my stomach in laughters. [Rating: 0.5]
Proven, remakes ain't an easy task. At least this drama shed some light on sensational chocolate abs and newcomers like Lee Hyun Woo and Kang Ha Neul. [Rating: 4]
Boys with looks who don't care about looks. [Rating: 8]
Catching criminals knows no boundaries. Let's time leap with Choi Jin Hyuk. [Rating: 8]
Be careful of what you create, because it could turn all real. [Rating: 7]
Bokjoonhyung. My world. Enuff' said. [Rating: 10]
The eruption of teenage love, youthfulness, and fist-grabbings. Grab mine, would you? [Rating: 10]
She's not going down alone. [Rating: 8.5]
A Professor-Do-Hairstyle that is hard to forget. Needless to say, a classic that we would like to freeze time for. [Rating: 9.5]
Probably one of the best works coming from Jang Geun Seok, Jung Yonghwa and Lee Hongki. The trio is good, but Jeremy's teary bus confession leaves the deepest impression per se. [Rating: 9]
Okay, this is good actually. But just too heartbreaking to continue. I might continue it someday if I'm ready to bawl my eyes out. [Stopped at Episode 20+/30]
An exact replica of Meteor Garden. Lee Min Ho should act his age and consider scraping high-school characters out of his scripts. [Stopped at Episode 15/20]
So messy it angers me with every scene and dialogue. [Stopped at Episode 10/16]
It's a hit, there's Park Si-hoo, what else can go wrong? Spoilers that it ended tragically. [Stopped at Episode 16/24]
A couple of misfits, leading to a serious lack of chemistry. [Stopped at Episode 13/18]
