The Story of Park's Marriage Contract
(2023 - Viki, 12 1:10 eps)

What started fabulously fizzled in the end. A romance with absolutely gorgeous hanbok designs & embroidery, where a Joseon seamstress travels to the present to repeat fate. The acting was great, the costumes were hit & miss - noticeable because of the emphasis on fashion.

The leads had good chemistry, although I had a tiny bit of 2nd lead syndrome. 2nd couple was funny & cute. The villains were the problem. Their stories were convoluted & their character changes didn't make sense. The floral & butterfly symbolism was beautiful. The female friendship was nice.

Glad to have seen it once just for the sewing & embroidery!

Kiss Goblin
(2020 Viki, 12 12 min eps)

What an unusual format! In looking for somehting light to counteract the last episodes of another drama, I came across this. The ML was the 3rd ML in "My Roommate is a Gumiho," & I liked him there.

It is a story about a goblin trying to become human. Intersting because I am also watching "the" Goblin with a watch party. It's fun to see how supernatural magic works in different worlds. In this show, the Goblin has to kiss 10 different people to acquire human emotions. Seeing how the Goblin handles each new emotion is fun, heartwarming, & surprising.

The actors are good & attractive, & the story is nicely done. Even in this extremely short format, they conveyed the "feels." It is so cute & completely bingeable. Nothing ground-breaking, but this will be a comfort show I can return to.
