Special Category ( I made this category for shows i consider a guilty pleasure…means i really enjoyed them or an element of them, while the actual story may or may not be ground breaking…it may be something where i REALLY enjoyed the actress or I enjoy the experience of reacting to it with whoever I did…..truly a wild card scenerio

  • Judge from hell (i just loved the carnage and violence. loved the female lead in being a badass and she held her conviction basically the whole franchise while still growing as a person…dope)

Kdramas That we enjoyed very much but are not necessarily favroites and you can recommend more of the following

Alice in Boderland (Jdrama)

All Of Us Are Dead

Attorney Woo

Bloodhound

Business Proposal

Death Game (aside from finale)

Descendants of The Sun I WISH FOLKS WERE NOT SO VOCAL ABOUT THE LEADS SPLITTING UP IN REAL LIFE….Some of you guys really go down the rabbit hole and know everything about these actors and thats respectable…but its not alway needed for you to relay that information…Right off the jump on Episode 1…People were LOUD about why they cant watch the Leads because they know they split. They were loud about it even before it won the poll.  At the time you watched it, that controversy was not present…it still won the poll and you passed that negative energy and i always had it in the back of my mind watching this show.  I am not upset. But for a future reactor…you don’t gotta make sure they know they split in real life..think about it…it serves no positive value for a first time viewer.  Thats just my 2 cents…

(Cool show, not mind blown.  The Leads are great.  I think it just lacks something epic like most of the other shows i love have…It has Mature Charactors and Great Actors…and that is about it….lol. )

Eve ( i started watching with my wife and i really like it..Please dont me mean to me about me about watching it on my own…i cant react to every thing…..i never saw folks recommending it…it has one my favorite Actresses and i like Kdramas as a regular person…so i wanted to see it and i like it..but i am not fished)

Flower of evil

Hometown Cha Cha Cha – Great So far, we are not finished…its going GREAT. Love the MC and I like the FL. Very strong cast with each episode meaning something.

Love Next Door, i liked it a lot, just not top 10

My 19th life. I like it for the actress .  Story is ok

Mr Plankton was a good show…and simply not my favorite type but its superb quality and thats just that.

No Gain No Life. Good show, great cast, i liked the FL Archetype

Parasyte

Revenant

Shop For Killers

Squid Games

Study Group – Still watching it and its a fun show

Trauma Code- I really thought this was a fun show. I liked that it was short and sweet. The MC is among my favorite type of MC’s…comes of as a Jerk but is actually caring..If you think about it…lol..I tend to like the same archetypes Male or Female.. He’s surrounded by a strong cast with tons of adrenaline and fascination each episode.

Weak Hero

Whats wrong with secretary kim Show is carried by fantastic and likeable cast

When the Phone Rings – GREAT SHOW…loved ep 1-11, ep 12 was not a good ending

Worst Of Evil

W World – Dope concept, creative, The ML and Father carried it for ME and generally my crew.  The lead actress is proven to be fantastic as we seen her in Happiness and Moving.  The direction they took with her being a damsel in distress for lack of a better term didn’t pull us in. Its cute…she’s cute..but i dunno.  Generally the channel prefers Strong female characters or leads….I dont think the show has ONE strong female lead…while i guess you can say she’s strong…she went to prison and made tough decisions for the people she loved.  Show has a lot of dope twists and turns and i like how even in the show fans were wilding over the direction of the Manwa…its well thought out and worthy of a recommendation and watch experience.  Its even understandable why the FL, was a Damsel for the story they told, her personality and acting fits.  The innocent girl, who created her ideal comic boyfriend, innocent and pure and the one good thing in his life…

Special Category – Means these shows have elements that are GREATLY appreciated although they are not in our taste profile

Twinkling Watermelon – Great Writing (not something i’d watch again)

This is ACTUALLY A FANTASTIC SHOW… it just didn’t connect with me emotionally like the others…i can’t really explain why.

Goblin – ICONIC MOMENTS, good story… Felt long at times. I have no regrets because the concept of the story has stayed with me and has offered value after watching, the Grim Reaper and Sunny along with the iconic walks…were just fantastic….

Uncanny Counter – Great First Season.. GREAT….Season 2…was just Ok even though it had Grade A actors……

The Following are remarks concerning shows that didn’t enter our taste profile

Strong Woman Bong Soon – Great Male Lead , funny moments. Would Not watch again

Strangers From Hell- Interesting Concept…cool

Vincenzo – Good moments…..just longer than it needed to be a lot of times, great cast

Black Knight-Nothing worth mentioning
