COMPLETED:-
*My Dearest* – What I like the most about this show is that Gil-Chae and Jang-Hyun hardly ever do what you expect them to do. I never expected Gil-Chae to agree to Jang-Hyuk’s plan as she knew too many people depended on her. However, I could believe that her love for him made her reckless enough to be swayed for some time, but not enough to abandon her people. Look forward to the second half of this unpredictable love story.
*The Uncanny Counter Season 2* – Coasted through on the goodwill of Season 1. Wasn’t a bad watch but the drop in quality was very noticeable. 6.5 out of 10 Stars
*Love Class Season 2* – So much better than Season 1! Tells the stories of 3 couples in just 10 episodes of 25 minutes each, and does justice to all of them. 8.5 out of 10 Stars
*Jun & Jun* – Had a lot of flaws in terms of story and pacing but it was still the show among all my on-air shows that I looked forward to the most every week. That’s coz it gave me what most romances this year couldn’t – heart flutters! The chemistry between the MLs was smoldering. Hope to see these actors again soon in new shows, especially Ki HyunWoo who is magic on the screen! 8.5 out of 10 Stars
WATCHING:-
*My Lovely Liar* (14/16) – I don’t get the obsession Korean romance writers have with murders and serial killers. Why do we need to have one of these in almost every romcom? Though I have to say that was one hell of a plot twist at the end of Ep 14. Didn’t see that coming! And now so many things that happened earlier in the show suddenly make sense.
*My Lovely Boxer* (7/12) – Keeps getting better with every episode. Tae-Young and Kwon-Sook’s slow burn romance is sweet, and all the women characters are very well written. Things went darker than I expected in Ep 7 but I don’t mind it here. My only complaint is that Kwon-Sook’s abusive father is being portrayed in a sympathetic light. Letting abusive characters get a redemption arc just coz they are family doesn’t sit right with me.
*WhyRU Korea* (6/8) – Cute and funny. Much better written than the original Thai show. However, the shoestring budget shows in every frame.
*(Thailand) Naughty Babe* (2/8) – As ridiculous as its predecessor Cutie Pie, but that’s its charm. The first 2 episodes were actually better than Cutie Pie in terms of pacing and humor. Hope the romance is better too.
*(Thailand) Dangerous Romance* (4/12) – Watching it for the leading man Perth, and while he doesn’t disappoint, the show has been a little underwhelming till now.
*(Thailand) I Feel You Linger In The Air* (4/12) – This tender and sweet love story between two men from different eras has my heart. The makers have a vision and they have clearly spent big money to make it come alive. 1920s Thailand is gorgeously filmed, and the acting is one of the best I have seen in a Thai show. I hope it maintains this quality until the end.
