Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

-
6. Joseon Lawyer
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
✦ JUNE 25
✦ Perhaps, it should have stayed a webtoon
-
7. Sim, Sua Majestade
Chinese Drama - 2023, 20 episodes
✦ JUNE 26
✦ Its short & funny, but also pretty romantic. A mixed brothel? lmfao!! However, it does end just like any other historical CDrama
-
8. President, Would You Please Shut Up
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
✦ JULY 20
✦ It was pretty funny in the beginning! The brother ended up being SO WILD! And, the ending itself was really all over the place.
-
9. UMG
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
✦ JULY 22
✦ Its kinda giving a long-distance relationship + a drag queen as your parent & I really enjoyed it.
-
10. Chihiro
Japanese Movie - 2023
✦ JULY 23
✦ slow & simple: its unapologetically heartwarming!
-
11. Kill Bok Soon
Korean Movie - 2023
✦ JULY 23
✦ this assassin/mother is WILD!
-
12. Delivery Man
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
✦ JULY 24
✦ It was ok.. I never really like the idea of "oh, I'm dating a spirit"?!
Even if she was actually still alive. Its a bit weirdBUT I did like the finale! -
13. Copycat Killer
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
✦ JULY 24
✦ WOW! Even if I have seen this storyline before, it was really really well done! The production, score, and acting were all pretty excellent
-
14. Predestinada ao Amor
Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes
✦ JULY 26
✦ Because it's a short series, it's a bit choppy and the acting is the greatest, but the story is pretty good overall.
-
15. História de Amor dos Estudiosos das Flores
Korean Drama - 2023, 18 episodes
✦ JULY 28
✦ I really enjoyed the dynamic between all the characters in the guesthouse and I liked different the ending.
-
16. Zenryoku de, Aishite Ii Kana?
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
✦ JULY 30
✦ I like the older age-gap & the discussions between the ML and his two bffs.
-
17. Enigma
Thai Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
✦ AUGUST 10
✦ I like the story, pacing, acting & overall mystery of it all! The entire concept of an "Enigma" is really interesting as well! If only there wasn't a weird teacher-student romance element! More dramas like this, of this length & style!
-
18. Bumped Into You
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
✦ AUGUST 10
✦ I didn't think I was going to enjoy this drama as much as I did. I thought the casting and "romance" element would be very weird, but they didn't push that too much which was good. The overall mystery and story was very well done!
Just weird who the culprit ended up being. -
19. Accounting Firm
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
✦ AUGUST 11
✦ BOTH the Acting & the Story are ok.. Last 2 eps are good, and it ends on a cliffhanger meaning the work is never done!
✦ I dont like how the OST makes certain scenes feel more dramatic than they actually are, while at the same time using the same music for scenes that truly are filled with drama. It takes away from the truly interesting parts of the drama.
-
20. The Law
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
✦ AUGUST 18
✦ Another drama about corruption within the prosecution & greedy businessmen, and this one was a pretty easy to binge.
✦ Power & Money is truly the themes of this drama. As both of the villains (prosecutor & money cartel boss) had an unquenchable thirst for the money and the power. I did love the scenes with him horseback-ridding in Mongolia!
-
21. Blue Temperature
Korean Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
✦ AUGUST 18
✦ kinda cute! ..Moved from her hometown to go to boarding-school, but met up with her (will-be) bf on a visit back home. Its a cute showcase of their hometown of Cheongdo.
-
22. To Be Honest
Korean Drama - 2023, 3 episodes
✦ AUGUST 18
✦ Its cheesy for being like, "we used to flirt with each other freshman year, and now you have a jealous girlfriend, who's also my bff"
✦ Moral of the story: It is important to be honest with yourself and others, otherwise you may miss out it life.
-
23. Strong Underdog
Korean Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
✦ AUGUST 19
✦ Bulling SUCKS!....But I had to keep rooting for this underdog!
-
24. Romance by Romance
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
✦ AUGUST 19
✦ Mr. Right is your bff who lives next door!
-
25. One Shot Scandal
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 3
✦ "Anyway!" Every single episode is light and funny, with just a sprinkle depth that pulls you in! I loved this drama way more than I thought I would, like now its one of my favs!
✦ The only thing I dont like is the typical theme that its always the moms fault when the kid does something wrong! But, where are the dads, GONE thats where!
-
26. Mukeo Bar
Korean Drama - 2023, 5 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 3
✦ yup! Just a group of normal adults in their mid-30s running a restaurant. Oh! and each ep surrounds a rice-cooker.
-
27. Shachiku OL Chie Maru Nikki
Japanese Drama - 2023, 15 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 4
✦ I liked the colors & overall aesthetic, but the story has been done a lot!
-
28. The Legend of Yan Shan and Bai Hua
Chinese Drama - 2023, 26 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 10
✦ It definitely has its flaws, but there could have been something here! I really enjoyed it, but I also did skip a lot and found certain scenes to be very drawn out.
-
29. Trick or Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 10
✦ LOVED! This is definitely one of my new favs! The complexities of love and family are addressed in a fun and light manner with a bit of depth, really well in this drama. I kept being drawn the characters would end up and I liked the soundtrack.
-
30. Yugure ni, Te wo Tsunagu
Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 13
✦ A fated encounter leads to fulfillment in career and love. Great aesthitics & OST in this drama! I'm so glad I watched it, as it didnt have most of the troubling themes I usually find in doramas.
-
31. Kiyo in Kyoto
Japanese Drama - 2023, 9 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 13
✦ Production is beautiful and the story is simple (perhaps a little too simple) So its a very comfortable, but slightly uninteresting watch
-
32. Love Battle
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 14
✦ Overall, I was right about this drama! Its uses comedy to shield its lame attempt at addressing gender roles and sexism. ALL the characters completely contradict one another, and that fact alone really pissed me off while I watched! There are some funny moments that did help redeem this drama in certain ways.
-
33. W: A Cidade Das Mulheres Que Nunca Morrem
Korean Drama - 2023, 11 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 14
✦ Nothing like this will ever trump 'Scandal', but there is definitely a lot of drama here. The acting was really what cause this show to suffer. I did like seeing the political elements, but it did not make up for the poor acting all around.
-
34. Informa
Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 15
✦ I definitely remained curious through this entire drama, as to what payback the Informa is looking for! It does feel like this is an interesting take on a Yakuza story, based on a book. If there is another I most likely will watch it.
-
35. Brush Up Life
Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 16
✦ The kind of show that I surprisingly feel in love with, for all of its nonchalant charm. Themes of life, good deeds, and living life to the fullest!
-
36. One Piece
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 17
✦ REALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!
-
37. Fit Check: Confessions of an Ukay Queen
Filipino Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 20
✦ Overall, I liked it! There was some melodramatic moments in the story, but the concept was good, quick and had a satisfying end.
-
38. Walang KaParis
Filipino Movie - 2023
✦ SEPTEMBER 20
✦ Inspired by a True Story! This may be a case where they were fated, but not destined.
-
39. 12.31.23.59
Hong Kong Movie - 2023
✦ SEPTEMBER 21
✦ Interesting idea of starting a whole New Hong Kong, with its current residents. The love triangle was a bit heartbreaking.
-
40. The Day I Realized I’m in Love
Japanese Movie - 2023
✦ SEPTEMBER 21
✦ Appealing cinematography, and a storyline with a relatable, simple, and fitting ending.
-
41. The Internship
Thai Movie - 2023
✦ SEPTEMBER 21
✦ Not great at all, but not completely terrible either. I liked the story's concept, but it just wasnt well done.
-
42. Nice to Never Meet You
Thai Movie - 2023
✦ SEPTEMBER 21
✦ Inspired by the song "L.U.S.H." by New Hope Club. About not regretting relationships even when it ends with a break-up.
-
43. Faith
Korean Movie - 2023
✦ SEPTEMBER 21
✦ Really excellent fxs here! Using the complex idea of "faith" and personal values, this short horror film displays the lengths people will go to, in order to get what they want.
-
44. The Days
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 22
✦ What a story! The dramatic moments are far apart, but dark and intense. By the finale there is more of a documentary than a drama feel with all the information provided, but I liked hearing about all the events that transpired and the US involvement.
-
45. Xian Wei Jing Xia De Da Ming
Chinese Drama - 2023, 14 episodes
✦ SEPTEMBER 23
✦ I like a lot about this drama. The story is pretty good – its historical and clever without any romance with the ML. Loved the cinematography – especially eps 1, 8, & 12. As always ML was great, with a bit of an open-ending as to where he may be headed next.
• "A single man can see the view of ten thousand chariots. I am overturning a hundred-year-old case in a day. Although I will die, I shall become worthy to stand amongst the heroes." -
46. Hip
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
✦ OCTOBER 25
✦ Probably my favorite drama of 2023! I loved the mystery and suspense, our superheroine was amazing the whole time, and the lack of romance surprisingly kept me interested.
-
47. Once Upon a Crime
Japanese Movie - 2023
✦ OCTOBER 26
✦ BEAUTIFUL COSTUMES! Cindy becomes the bad guy in this tale, but the prince has to end up with someone and guess its this random character they decided to introduce.. Remi? Theres was too much explanation trying to prove that the culprit was her and that her motives made sense. Now, would I watch a sequel? Absolutely. I like that Little Red is a detective here; it really works for her character.
-
48. Pending Train: 8:23, Ashita Kimi to
Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
✦ NOVEMBER 20
✦ Full of tension & ending on an inspiring note! This was a great change of pace for me and I found myself loving the show more and more after every episode. I was always curious as to what was going to happen next, up until the very end.
