After some pesky set up in episode one, Boyfriend On Demand (Netflix) was a lot of tropey, swoony fun (think Spike Jonze’s Her via Singles Inferno). Seriously, there were moments in episodes two and three that made me straight up cackle! The cameos and scenarios are everything. If you are a kdrama fan, you will feel so seen 😊 Episode four then took me by surprise and became my favourite part of the show (and not just because of Seo Kang Jun, but also, yes, absolutely because of Seo Kang...

It is hard to describe my thoughts about My Mister. If you are in any way unsure, believe the hype and go watch this show. Yes, My Mister is deeply melancholic and heart-breaking. Yes, the loss of Lee Sun Kyun is never less than devastating. However, this beautiful slice of life drama offers so much more than endless sadness – it is warm, funny and life affirming. Written by Park Hae Young (My Liberation Notes) and directed by Kim Won Suk (Signal, When Life Gives You Tangerines) and Kim Sang...

The King’s Affection took me by surprise. I came late to this 2021 Netflix drama and (somehow) managed to avoid all spoilers. All I knew – or thought I knew – was that this show was a gender swap, historical rom com. And it is… but also so much more. For full context, I came to The King’s Affection after (finally) watching / finishing My Mister. I was looking for something lighter. The first episodes of this drama were far from fluffy, however. The show’s opening episodes set the...

This was the week I became obsessed with cdrama, Twelve Letters (Viki). This compelling and heartbreaking cdrama stars Zhou Yi Ran (When I Fly Towards You) and Wang Ying Lu (When Destiny Brings the Demon). The story follows the two leads as they struggle to live a life where the odds are firmly stacked against them (many scenes are very tough to watch – trigger warning for violence / domestic violence) leaving us to wonder and hope that a mysterious post box will, perhaps, save the day. In...

I have been eagerly awaiting The Art of Sarah (Netflix) and, while it didn’t quite live up to my expectations, I had a good time watching this show. The Art of Sarah is a mystery box thriller that features a delicious performance from Shin Hae Sun. If we ever needed reminding what a powerful actor she is (and we probably didn’t), this is it. If you are looking for a cute, zero angst rom com, Spring Fever (Prime) might be for you. It's endearing and fun and is grounded by more serious issues...

If you are looking for a cute, zero angst rom com, Spring Fever (Prime) might be the drama for you. Starring Ahn Bo Hyun and Lee Joo Bin, Spring Fever is a lot fun. It knows its audience (cue the celebration of Ahn Bo Hyun’s impressive physicality) and never takes itself too seriously. Plus, it features a great dog performance! However, Spring Fever is not just 12 episodes of fluff. It is grounded by more serious issues including stalking and domestic violence (although neither are explored...

The Art of Sarah (Netflix) is an entertaining little mystery box of a drama that features a delicious performance from Shin Hae Sun. If we ever needed reminding what a powerful actor she is (and we probably didn’t), this is it. I had been eagerly awaiting The Art of Sarah and, while it didn’t quite live up to my expectations, I had a good time watching this eight-episode show. It features an impressive cast, looks good and explores some interesting themes. However, the plot and writing...

She’s here! I have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Art of Sarah and we now have all eight episodes to watch (on Netflix). Early days, but this is a Shin Hye Sun showcase. If ever we needed reminding what a powerful actor she is (and we probably didn’t), this is it. Lee Jun Hyuk hasn’t had much to do as yet (apart from looking suspicious and handsome) but there’s plenty of time. I am all in. I am very much enjoying Unveil Jadewind (Netflix). I like the way this show is...

If I enjoy a modern cdrama as much as I adored Love Between Lines (Viki) it will have been a very good year. 10 out of 10. No notes. I loved every minute of this 28 episode show about VR murder mystery games, architecture and love. This show had something special… or, thinking about it, a lot of somethings (see my post for further thoughts!). This week, I somehow found myself watching My Fated Boy (Viki). So far, I am very much enjoying this age difference cdrama. Okay, okay, you got me, I am...

I was late to the Idol I (Netflix) party but, within minutes I was hooked and I loved this drama until the very end. I enjoyed the mystery, the examination of idol life and fan culture and I adored how the relationship between lawyer, Maeng Se Na (Choi Soo Young), and idol, Laik (Kim Jae Yeong), developed. Seriously, the chemistry between these two leads is pretty special. As I finished episode ten, I began to wonder (as I so often do) if Idol I would stick the landing. Perhaps I shouldn’t...
