1. Porque Esta é a Minha Primeira Vida
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
I related to Sehee's character. If it weren't for ep 15 I might have given this a 9.5 or even a 10.

2. A Bruxa do Tribunal
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
The first half was amazing. The pilot episode was one of the best I have seen. Unfortunately the second half wasn't half as good.

3. Malabaristas
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Nam Chi Won is love. The most angst free relationship ever. Their difficulties pulled them closer together. No noble idiocy :) However I couldn't care less with the office politics, though the villain was pretty entertaining.

4. A Fada do Levantamento de Peso, Kim Bok Joo
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
The score is based purely that I never seemed too into the drama. However the script itself is actually really good.

5. Manual do Presidiário
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
From the team of the reply series who never disappoint when it comes to lovable characters and heartwarming friendships.
Looney ;(

6. Enquanto Você Dormia
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
I like Suzy in this. Lee Jong Suk also played the comedy parts well. This drama introduced me to Jung Hae In (I started this before Prison Playbook - though I completed that first).
I really liked the first half of this drama but it soon became repetitive plot wise and it was a shame that they didn't seem to use the dreams plot device to it's full potential.

7. Escritório Radiante
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
The script itself isn't bad it's just that I never related to the FL and she annoyed me. I also couldn't care less with the office politics.

8. Bem-vindos a Waikiki
Korean Drama - 2018, 20 episodes
This drama is one of the best comedies I have seen from Korean dramas.
Lee Yi Kyung is amazing and Sol is adorable.

9. Meloholic
Korean Drama - 2017, 10 episodes
The last episode was a let down as the rest of the drama was pretty good.
It's pretty basic on the multiple personality aspect but it's only 10 episodes so at least it doesn't drag.

10. Viver
Korean Drama - 2018, 18 episodes
Loved how it showed the realism of working in the police force and how they handled the cases with sensitivity. This is the first Jung Yumi drama that I have completed!
Hope to see Shin Dong Wook in a romance drama next.

11. Um Poema Por Dia
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
I have read some reviews stating that they didn't like this drama due to the lack of plot but more me that is why I like it. I like that it goes through the everyday things and love the characters. Especially the bromance between the radiologists. I also found myself laughing out loud a lot whilst watching this drama. The only thing downside of this drama is that the isn't much development on Doctor Ye compared to the other characters. Also loved Ha Suk Jin's cameo in this :)

12. Trinta, Mas Dezessete
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
Okay, so I may have fast forwarded loads of parts as it was very slow. However, it is a very motivating drama and has really good messages throughout. Especially the final message of opening new doors of happiness and not focusing on things that make you close the doors of happiness. In addition that small trivial things can bring you lots of joy.

13. O Que Houve Com a Secretária Kim?
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
Probably my favourite rom com pilot episodes. I was obsessed the first half of the drama, until it decided to focus on the overused childhood connection plot line. This could have been so good if they if only they had put more focus on Miso's personal journey of of finding what she really wants in life. Such a shame. Had some amazing side characters and the comedy was on point.

14. Seu Ajudante da Casa
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
Ha Suk Jin literally plays the same characters all the time and I end up watching most of his dramas. For some reason I just wasn't engaged even though it's slice of life. I ended up skipping through the majority of the second half of the drama, still think Bona is a bit green to be the main actress. I was far more invested in the other three friends' stories.

15. Ainda Que Eu Morra
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
The first few episodes were so good but then it went all corporate and I wasn't too happy with the end game. I love the actors though and once again Gong Myung gets the short end of the stick. When will this puppy get the girl?
