Bromance

After thoroughly enjoying Refresh Man, I decided to try another Taiwanese drama. The selection on Netflix is actually really good now, which is why I'm annoyed that only the cheapest or oldest Korean drama (and almost no Japanese drama) make the cut. Bromance was what I decided on - mostly for the title, but also because I can't ever resist a cross-dressing romance. I wasn't disappointed.

Top 6 Horribly Heartbreaking Second Leads

I thought it was about time I wrote this list - I'll update if I ever think of more, because frankly pitiful second leads is a subject I like to bury deep in the back of my head and never dwell on, so I've probably forgotten a few.

Zenkai Girl: First Impressions

First Impressions are honestly at the back of my mind. I prefer full reviews, but sometimes you reach the end of a drama having forgotten everything you felt right at the beginning, and I guess first impressions are useful in that sense. Despite Zenkai Girl being your typical romantic comedy starring actors I like, I wasn't interested in watching it up until now. Having watched the first two episodes, in short I can say that I wish I'd started this sooner.

Drinking Solo

I took the first weekend of my holidays as an excuse to binge Drinking Solo, a show I didn't watch when it was first airing because it didn't seem to match my taste. Boy, was I wrong. Drinking Solo, a spin-off of the Let's Eat series, is a fantastic drama. It's perfect if you want something low-key, realistic slice-of-life show.

Top 9 Friends-to-Lovers Romance Drama

Everybody loves love. If you don't, you're a grinch. It's been a long time since I last did a genre list, so here's a list of some of the most supportive romantic relationships the drama world has ever seen.

Three Colours of Fantasy

Three Colours of Fantasy is the title of a series of mini-drama aired on MBC and Naver. Written, produced, and directed by different teams; they are all completely unrelated to each other. So what connects them? They're all fantasy-romance. of course!

Rich Man Poor Woman

For those who think that a work-place drama is the most boring kind, this is for you. Rich Man Poor Woman isn't quite as faithful to the tropes as it sounds - it's a story of a bizarre man who has trouble remembering names and faces, as well as a woman with ridiculously particular memory, so particular that she becomes useful to him. But that's just a snippet of these two, and a snippet of this drama as a whole.

Expectations VS Reality: Introverted Boss

I'm breaking this review down into simple paragraphs, because I want to demonstrate how this show so ruthlessly destroyed all my expectations. I'm going to be honest, I can't even bring myself to finish Introverted Boss. The fact that this show had the potential to be so much greater than it is haunts me, frankly.

Can You Hear My Heart

A 'makjang' drama is a strange thing. Often long and slow-paced, a makjang needs something to keep interesting. That's obviously where birth secrets, revenge plots and ridiculously complicated relationships come in. But sometimes you'll find a makjang drama with a soft centre, fully-fleshed characters who you love because they love each other, and that's what will keep you hooked. Today I'm reviewing Can You Hear My Heart.

Pinocchio

With While You Were Sleeping on the horizon, I'm looking back over everything the writer Park Hye-ryun has under her name. So here's a review of Pinocchio. Fun fact, I would never have found my favourite drama of all time I Hear Your Voice if I hadn't seen a few episodes of Pinocchio and wondered what else Lee Jong-suk is in! Not fun? Okay.
