End-of-the-Year Review: My Most Disappointing/Least Favorite Dramas of 2024
It’s the end of the year which means that it’s time for an (annual?) End-of-the-Year review! Unfortunately, my journey with K-dramas has deteriorated over the years and it certainly hasn’t been the same (hence, why I haven’t been posting as much on this blog). But every year, there are still a few gems that are…

[What Mary Thinks] Flex X Cop & Doctor Slump
It’s been a while but I am baaaack! The status of K-dramaland has been so interesting to me the past few years and it hasn’t been the smoothest experience for me. In between having a really busy K-drama schedule where I have one new episode a day each week to not watching any dramas for…

End-of-the-Year Review: My Favorite Dramas of 2023 + Honorable Mentions
Another year means another end-of-the-year review post to cap things off. 2023 was such an interesting year for me in terms of my K-drama experience. I finally managed to keep track of all the dramas and movies that I was watching. It seemed like time traveling and dual timelines was the theme in K-dramaland. I…

[What Mary Thinks] Daily Dose of Sunshine
You ever just watch a drama or movie that seems like it arrived at the right exact time during a time in your life where you needed it the most? That was me with new Korean drama ‘Daily Dose of Sunshine.’ I’m not one to cry often watching Korean movies and dramas but this one…

[What Mary Thinks] The Matchmakers & Moon in the Day: Episodes 1-2
Two new dramas means another review of first impressions! This time, I share my thoughts on the first 2 episodes of ‘The Matchmakers’ and ‘Moon in the Day’ which both recently premiered this week. The Matchmakers: Episodes 1-2 I wanted to like this one a little bit more, but I’ll keep on holding out for…

[What Mary Thinks] Castaway Diva: Episodes 1-2
Another year means another Park Eun-bin drama which means another drama added onto my watchlist. Given that Park Eun-bin is one of my favorite actresses, she usually has one drama out a year and I have this thing where I watch that drama. It started with ‘Operation Proposal’ all the way to ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’…

[What Mary Thinks] Doona!
This one was an interesting one and I definitely didn’t think I would like it as much as I did. ‘Doona!’ follows the complicated relationship between Lee Doona (played by Suzy) and Lee Won-jun (played by Yang Se-jong) as they navigate their careers and life while attempting to keep their relationship together. The drama was…

[What Mary Thinks] Strong Girl Nam-soon: Episodes 1-2
It’s crazy to think that we’re already in October and that there’s only a few more months left until the year ends. The final quarter of the season has a strong line-up of Korean dramas including ‘Strong Girl Nam-soon’ which just recently premiered on October 7. The drama is the cousin of its 2017 predecessor…

[Discuss Away!] Moving: Episodes 12-13
Oh man, oh man, oh man. This review of this week’s episodes for ‘Moving’ comes in fresh as I just finished watching episodes 12 and 13 a few minutes ago. And wow, just wow. I have so many thoughts and so many things to say. If I could summarize my feelings for these two episodes,…

[Discuss Away!] My Dearest: Episodes 7-8
You ever just watch a drama that moves you and drives you insane? That’s literally how I feel about ‘My Dearest’ right now. I had to do a separate post for this drama instead of combining it with the other ones that I’m currently watching because I have way too many thoughts about this show…
