(2023 Netflix, 12 45min eps)Because the story, about social media influencers, deals with wealthy people, the costuming is gorgeous, as are the places & products they use. Netflix cinematography rises to the occasion.
It involved many characters with a lot of problems. Not enough time to develop that many characters. The 2nd FL, Lee Chung Ah, with great acting, was the only one with growth. The other actors were also good, but the story didn't give them an opportunity for growth. The main character's background didn't seem to match her current character.
Looking at the world of social influencers was interesting & disturbing. If you want to dwell on it, it brings up a lot of ethical problems. The corruption of the police by the wealthy was present here, along with a few other tropes. It did have some surprises & twists, which I enjoyed.

Frankly Speaking
(2024 - Netflix, 12 1:00 eps)The ML, a polite & proper news announcer, becomes afflicted with a disease & he now says whatever comes to mind without thinking. The FL wants his refreshing style for her variety show. For tropes, we get a love triangle, past traumas, social judgment, & 1st loves.
The premise is great & with the great cast, it starts very funny. This drama starts with a simple message about being your true self & accepting yourself & others for who they are. The writer then attempts to present these messages in a more serious manner & falls terribly flat in the last few episodes. It does get some redemption with some tremendous cuteness at the end, but the writer should have just stuck with the comedy.

CW: Possible "Reply 1988" Spoiler
Reply 1988 brought the 80s back to me - a time when I was also in high school, college & getting married - so the nostalgia hit hard. As my mom needs quite a bit of help these days, these lines hit me so hard:
"There is someone I would like to meet again. / Who? / My parents when they were young & seemed as big as mountains."

Reply 1988
(2015 - Viki, 20 avg 1:35 eps (varies))A slice-of-life story about 5 families on the same street where the kids have spent their youth together. We arrive when they are finishing high school We live through the challenges of discovering their paths in life, developing relationships, maintaining their friendships, parents aging, & more. It was interesting to learn about baduk players & some laws & ideas about which families could marry.
It was a WOW! 1 of those where these characters will live with me forever. So touching, I teared up at almost every episode, but I also laughed. Phenomenal acting, beautiful writing & what seems to be very authentic set design creates an unforgettable show. [See comment]
The time-shifts gave us enough mystery to make slice-of-life compelling - it was so well done. & the OST is also great.

Mr. Plankton
(2024 - Netflix 10 1:00 eps)On the day of her wedding to the heir of an ancient family, the bride, pregnant with the next heir, is kidnapped by a man who has just received life-changing news.
It pulls so many emotions out - I was laughing while sobbing. The 1st scene helps to prepare us for this journey of discovering what life means, how important each individual is, what love is, & what being family entails.
The details in the costuming (shoes, baseball uniform), lighting, sound FX, & OST pull you further into the story & impart so much meaning to a simple gesture or a beautifully written line - of which there are many.
The title is unusual, but surprisingly carries the weight of the most important message in the drama. Still pondering all that I learned several days after makes it one of the best of 2024.

It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020 - Netflix)Finished my 1st complete re-watch via a great watch party group.
This is a beautiful drama. The costumes, sets and visual story-telling in every scene are breathtaking. The story itself is an insightful commentary on mental health, relationships, and family, all while delivering a chilling mystery yet still having light-hearted and funny moments. I love the use of fairy-tales to allow us to understand the characters better.On my 1st watch it became one of my favorites. It does contain many kdrama tropes and uses them to take some shortcuts; I can forgive this because healing mental trauma in 16 episodes is impossible IRL. Re-watching it with others gave me new perspectives on every episode. I discovered things I had missed before and saw things through another's experience.

Too bad when a great series falls flat. I LOVE story development about supporting characters! In my opinion, #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay was amazing in that aspect. And every side story had some sort of resolution as it all wrapped up. -

Let Me Be Your Knight
(2021 - Viki, 12 1:10 eps)What starts as a predictable drama about an idol group & a woman who comes to live in the group's house by posing as a psychiatrist ends as a nice story.
The FL was in "Waikiki" in a similar milquetoast role. The ML has some upcoming dramas that I'm anxious to watch now. With the right parts, I think both the leads could be great.
Everyone has a problem they need to face & that's what really makes this a decent story. OST works well with the action & some songs are catchy. The changing relationships of the groups' members were the compelling part of the story. There is a romance that drives a lot of ML's actions & healing, & a little love triangle. Trope-filled, a tiny bit angsty, fun music, & people overcoming problems create a fun to watch drama.

Perfect Marriage Revenge
(2023 - Viki, 12 1:10 eps)What starts with some fairly common drama plot lines: a woman in need of a rescue, a chance to do it all again, a knight, & an evil family, results in a juicy makjang revenge story with quite a snap at the end to remind us to examine what we value in life. (See spoiler comment)
There were some great lines. The acting was classic revenge soap opera style - so fun. I was so glad to see the ML in this part, a *nice* chaebol! I loved that the FL was so powerful yet vulnerable - as appropriate to her backstory. Chemistry was unstoppable. Why did the ML have feelings for the FL? (See spoiler comment)
At eps 10 I wondered how they could tie up everything. People might think the last 2 eps rushed, but I think it reinforced the moral of the story.
