    *** I Order You (2015) ***
    (Viki 16 0:20 eps)

    [!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

    An unemployed woman picks up food for her brother from a gourmet lunch box place, meeting 3 workers & falls instantly in love with the cold-hearted jerk (with multiple traumas that aren't even hinted at until later).

    The first several episodes are tropey, stupid, & cutesy, although the FL cannot really pull cute off & is annoying, while the ML is stiff. Then we get to the episodes where the writer decided maybe it should be a melodrama with trauma. At this point, the FL's acting significantly improves, but the addition of the all-too-serious music had me laughing instead of sobbing. It was so ridiculous.

    The side characters could have been interesting, but they were only pulled out for a few seconds here & there to advance the storyline slightly.

    Only recommend if you're on a quest or you want to hate-watch something.

    Because This Is My First Life
    (2017 - Netflix, 16 1:10 eps)

    Unique storytelling made this a standout. It's a slice-of-life drama concerning love & marriage that was presented in a quiet but fresh way. The narrative & dialogue surprises you frequently when its simplicity becomes profound. The casting & acting was excellent.

    3 adult relationships develop through the show. We see 3 women in different job situations being affected by the patriarchy. But we also get to see men oppose it. It is rare to see a woman being allowed to be smart, cute, sexy, strong, & determined - especially all in 1 character.

    Unfortunately, there is 1 thing that ruined the flow toward the end. Overlooking that it was a good drama with some great messages.

    I Picked Up a Star on the Road
    (2018 - Viki, 10 1:03 eps)

    Thanks to a recommendation here, I picked this one up. Total binge! The story is ridiculous & you have to be willing to go along with the craziness & the unconscionable behavior. But if you like dark humor, it's worth it. The 1st few eps are full of it. The humor changes to physical & silly in the middle & we are rewarded with a bit more dark humor at the end.

    Accidental murders & kidnappings, love triangles, & Sung Hoon was, as usual, cast as the aloof, rich, full-of-himself character that he plays pretty well, but this time, he doesn't have much power & it's funny. The 2nd ML was great! I can't believe he hasn't yet gotten another main role.

    Nothing terribly outstanding, but a fun, easy watch, & a taste of dark humor, which I don't often find in kDramas.
