1. Semantic Error
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Everything was just perfect. The relationship development, character writing, aesthetics, plot, acting... I am so obsessed with this pair ❤️

2. Cherry Blossoms after Winter
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
A really beautiful and well-made series. It might start off to be a typical "damsel-in-distress" plot with stereotypical seme and uke, but it developed to be something so different and special <3
I really love how equal the relationship is. I love how Hae Bom has his own character strength and how Tae Seong has his clingy moments too. The relationship is just sooooooo cute and lovely and heartwarming and addicting and everyone need to watch this show!!!! The interaction is so natural and cute and it just feels like a real relationship!

3. Light on Me
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
A very well-made innocent high school series.
The characters and relationship are not perfect, just like how high school students are. It is a series about exploring self, feelings, friendships and relationships. The best thing is how all characters are properly written! From our main lead Tae Kyung to the side character So Hee, all of them are properly characters with their own motives, not just used for plot points. Can we talk about what a great friend Namgoong is!!

4. Choco Milk Shake
Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
Underrated series! The plot turned me off a lot at the start (animals to humans is really not for everyone), but it is surprisingly well done. I came in expecting a comedic plot but left with many many tears. It is just so unexpectedly well written that it manages to touch me with such a ridiculous premise (in my opinion!).
The actors are amazing (especially Milk!!!!!!!), the relationship is short but intriguing.

5. A Shoulder to Cry On
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
It might be because this is the first KBL I watched, but this show always have a special place in my heart.
I admit that there's many flaws to this series but I like it. I like the little tensions between them, I love the relationship development. I do feel the ending is slightly rushed and wished they have more time to learn about each other, but the series is short and I'll forgive it.
It's just a cute enemies to lovers series.

6. Unintentional Love Story

7. Blueming
Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
I like the chemistry between the leads and I like the story.
My only complain was that the conflict feels abrupt, rushed through and improperly resolved. I wished they have a slightly longer resolution or just cut out the part completely.

8. A Breeze of Love
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Good amount of fluff, angst and tension between the leads. A short and sweet watch.

9. Mr. Heart
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Short, sweet, simple and cute.

10. Nobleman Ryu's Wedding
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
A good balance between romance and comedy. If you watch it with an open heart and not as a serious historical drama, this can be quite good. It's not realistic but the tone was set to be comedic anyways, so it's an easy watch :)

11. Roommates of Poongduck 304
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
It's a easy and simple watch, but very forgettable.

12. Our Dating Sim
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
I like the plot and I appreciate what they are trying to do, but I don't fully enjoy this show. I think I just cannot fully accept that they are adults but still acting like students.
They were close friends as students, but many years have passed since then and I wished there's more story on the reconnection. I acknowledge there's some link back to the past which is good.
Many people loved it show and it has an overwhelming positive review so I guess it's just my personal problem. I'll put this on my rewatch list and try again, maybe I'll enjoy it the next time.

13. Jun & Jun
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Saying the plot is bad is an understatement. The relationship development was VERY LACKING, you cannot tell me that they are close friends as kids and the love continue on as adult without them getting to know each other AT ALL! Anyways Lee Jun's character was so infantilised that you can basically see him like a child, so I guess it's fine?
The side characters are seriously unnecessary, I was rooting more for the manager than Choi Jun LOL.
The only good thing they did is the hot intimacy scenes. Watch for the intimacy scenes if you can ignore the horrible plot and awful characters and non-existent relationship development.

14. You Make Me Dance
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
It's okay, it's an easy watch but nothing memorable.
-
15. Wish You: Your Melody From My Heart (Movie)
Korean Movie - 2021
It's just okay. It's more music focused than it is romance focused. Lacks relationship development and I don't see the chemistry between the leads.

16. Kissable Lips
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
The plot is fine, didn't mind the ending, acting needs improvement, lack relationship development. Plot is rushed and lacking.

17. The Tasty Florida
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
I don't remember the story, I just remember it's not good.
