My 10/10 dramas
-
1. 365: Repita o Ano
Korean Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
One of the most intriguing, suspenseful, well-paced mystery / time travel dramas!
Refreshingly original plot, well-written characters, excellent performances and cleverly orchestrated plot-twists.
Highly recommended :) -
2. Avengers Social Club
Korean Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
Such a gem! One of the best dramas of 2017! Totally recommended!
Lee Yo Won and Ra Mi Ran were superb as always, and Choi Kyu Jin was such a warm presence...
I'm gonna rewatch this one, for sure! -
3. Bad Guys

-
4. Máquina de Escrever Chicago

6. Venha e Me Abrace
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
Ok Hee to Na Moo : "Even if things get tough later, you can find happiness again. Right?"
I think this phrase summarizes the message that this drama succeeded to deliver!
And everyone in the production team (writing, directing, cinematography, music), but most of all the cleverly selected cast [child actors, rookie actors and veterans] gave their best for this incredible outcome!
A definite must-watch, or re-watch! -
7. Cidade Cruel
Korean Drama - 2013, 20 episodes
-
8. Meus Caros Amigos
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
-
9. Doutor Prisoneiro
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
One of the best revenge dramas!
One of the best dramas of 2019!
One of the best trio chemistry on screen (and probably their best performance so far...)
A definite must watch for those who like mind games, intense plot twists, fast pacing, well-written characters and top-notch acting! -

15. In This Corner of the World
Japanese Drama - 2018, 9 episodes
A wonderful story about family and bonding, coming of age, war, overcoming loss and grieve, and one of the most beautiful love stories I've seen in a long while between Suzu and Shusaku.
With a magnificent music score from Joe Hisaishi, a brilliant cinematography and depiction of rural Japan during the WW2 and superb performances, this underrated, criminally unnoticed drama was so painfully touching, inspiring and bittersweet! A pure 10/10 in my list. -

One of the most affectionate, down-to-earth, wholesome slice-of-life dramas!
Exceptionally detailed in every aspect: not even one character is unnecessary, not even one line or moment of silence is in excess, not even a scene is a filler...
A real gem and a well-deserved 10/10 in my book. -

If you liked Noh Hee Kyung and Hong Jong Chan previous dramas, especially "Dear My Friends", then this Drama Special is a must see!
Such a gentle but realistic approach to some very difficult family issues...
Such a beautiful, poetic cinematography...
Such superb, emotional performances...
If you are a daughter and a mother like me, you will cry rivers, you will put yourself on their shoes and try to process their reality, you will keep thinking about this drama in your sleep, but it will be worth it. Don't miss it! -

I'd been putting off starting this drama for a long time because I knew it was heavy, deep, dark and very very sad,
so I needed to be in the right mood for it.
But, some recent posts about it and my autumn blues made me decide to watch it - and I binged it in a day.
Nothing much to say about this painfully beautiful masterpiece: story, dialogues, production, acting were perfection.
Nagayama Eita and Mitsushima Hikari were beyond superb!
