    Vagabond
    (2019 - Netflix, 16 1:10 eps)

    An amazing action drama! A martial arts-trained stuntman's orphaned nephew is killed & now he is at the center of a deadly conspiracy along with a gov. intelligence agent. Every episode is an emotional roller coaster ride as the characters develop amidst deadly threats from every direction. The acting is phenomenal. The special effects are Hollywood-level. The chemistry is palpable.

    Not your usual let's-blow-something-up so we don't have to worry about having a good story action series. A great story carries the drama, car chases, shootouts, & stuff getting blown up are just extra goodies. We also get to examine what's moral, what's right, & does the end justify the means.

    Unfortunately, Season 2 is required to finish this story. Maybe that was the original plan & the pandemic got in the way? Hoping S2 comes soon.

    Doona!
    (2023 - Netflix, 9 0:50 eps)

    So pleasantly surprised. While a few tears were shed, the drama was surprisingly uplifting. The main character goes through a lot of introspection which is difficult to show visually, but it succeeds. The scenes feel intimate & the writing is sweet yet sharp - at times her retorts betray her feelings & surprise the characters & audience alike.

    The ML expresses his feelings very well - he is involved in a love triangle, but handles it beautifully. The side characters are so interesting - I wish the drama had been longer & we had gotten even more of their stories.

    Fortunately, someone had warned me ahead of time to not skip the intros. The opening scenes contain clues to what eventually happens & are a stroke of genius & perfection. The only thing I disliked about this drama was the smoking. Wouldn't smoking damage her voice?

    While You Were Sleeping
    (2017 - Viki, 32 0:30 eps)

    The FL can see the future & meets a few other people with this gift. We see them try to make changes while realizing why their lives are intertwined. The ML is a prosecutor with extremely interesting cases - bringing up some great moral dilemmas.

    There are a lot of flash backs & flash forwards which is confusing if you aren't paying attention. I loved the investigator(Kim Won Hae), villain, & 2nd ML - all excellent. The main couple was cute but not heart-skipping.

    Our favorite ahjeossi, Kim Won Hae, won an award for this part. ML & FL won top excellence awards & best couple.

    LJS seems typecast as a cool, morally upright guy. He did it well in Pinocchio, but here, he tries to be a little silly. While it went well with Bae Suzy's character, it didn't fit him or the story well.

    The Producers
    (2015 - Viki, 12 1:25 eps + 1 special)

    Finally, a drama where I enjoyed Gong Hyo Jin's character (aside from one Aigoo scene which she can't pull off - but maybe that was purposeful?). It's a story about producers at a broadcast station who have been friends since childhood, a new rookie producer who got into the business for the wrong reason, & an idol who has suffered from bullying & isolation.

    The characters & relationships develop slowly compared to current dramas & we gradually come to know them. Excellent acting - IU was great, Kim Soo Hyun was fun to see as a puppy in love. Recognizing what's in front of you, women in the workplace, & bullying all provide food for thought.

    The special talks about show popularity, then clips - but the bloopers at the end - especially Kim Soo Hyun singing when he messes up - are worth a watch.

    The Most Ordinary Romance (Crazy Romance)
    (2019 - Viki, 1 1:55 movie)

    I watched this because I did not like the characters that Gong Hyo Jin played in the other 3 dramas I've seen her in - they all came across as very annoying - and she's supposed to be one of the queens of romcom.

    I actually liked her character in this movie. It's a story about 2 people dealing with failing relationships and falling in love while sharing their pain. Unfortunately, they both dealt with their pain by getting drunk a lot.

    Good acting, but not a great story.

    It's Okay, That's Love
    (2014 - Viki, 16 1:00 eps)

    A mental health medical drama, with a bit of comedy, romance, & mystery, but mostly about a group of psychiatrists, a famous author, & a few patients, where everyone has trauma of some kind. The episodes deal with different mental health problems as well as the healing & growth of the main characters.

    The story was well-done, the acting was great, & it had a good OST. My favorite "mom" - Kim Mi Kyung - portrayed a mom with a complex story. The ML & DO were perfect together. The character of the FL was difficult for me to sympathize with. I often found her actions unexplainable. The ending was a tiny bit rough, but satisfactory enough. It was worth the watch for me.

    I liked the overall message of acceptance.

    When the Camellia Blooms
    (2019 - Netflix, 20 1:10 eps)

    Some romance, a bit of comedy, & a serial murder mystery. 20 eps is enough time to move gracefully between the genres. Motherhood, the flaws & heartbreaking sacrifices of the moms is the central theme.

    It contains the I-can't-be-with-you-because trope. Aside from that personal peeve, the show is very well done. The sinister mystery has unexpected twists.

    FL's name means camellia, representing faithfulness & longevity, which fits. They also represent spring & this series is about the awakening of the FL.

    The cinematography was part of the story - not grand sweeping vistas, but good at conveying the scene's emotion. It also has the most beautifully coordinated neighborhood costuming I've seen.

    The last eps was not what I expected, but tied up all the story lines nicely.

    (2016 - Viki, 16 1:22 eps)

    Lived up to its high rankings on MDL & Viki. *Beautiful* cinematography, iconic scenes referenced in many other dramas, great acting, tropes, humor, the best bromance ever, great 2nd couple, coats galore, outstanding OST, past lives, supernatural beings, agony, joy, & fate.

    Most complaints are about the age difference between the leads. The actors were 37 & 25, but Kim Go Eun played a high schooler so convincingly that it felt a bit uncomfortable. She ages 10 years in the show & he doesn't, so it worked for me.

    How long do you atone for past sins - especially in a previous life? How long must you carry the guilt? Are some sins unforgivable? What would you sacrifice for love? The show brings up a lot of weighty questions. The writing is mesmerizing at times & very witty.

    Lived up to its high rankings on MDL & Viki. *Beautiful* cinematography, iconic scenes referenced in many other dramas, great acting, tropes, humor, the best bromance ever, great 2nd couple, coats galore, outstanding OST, past lives, supernatural beings, agony, joy, & fate.

    Most complaints are about the age difference between the leads. The actors were 37 & 25, but Kim Go Eun played a high schooler so convincingly that it felt a bit uncomfortable. She ages 10 years in the show & he doesn't, so it worked for me.

    How long do you atone for past sins - especially in a previous life? How long must you carry the guilt? Are some sins unforgivable? What would you sacrifice for love? The show brings up a lot of weighty questions. The writing is mesmerizing at times & very witty.
