What. Could. Have Been. Dream to You promised a tale as old as trope, featuring the classic high school sweethearts torn apart without rhyme or reason reuniting in adulthood. And I guess it was that, just done badly...

Title: Our Sticky Love (2026) Platform: Netflix MDL & IMBD Rating: 8.2 & 7.5 Genre: Contemporary Rom Com/ Crime Episode Count: 12 Last Episode Watched: 8 Parental Guidance Rating: MA: Violence (torture), language, smoking, references intimacy For More Info: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36955608/parentalguide/ Starring: Jang Hae In (Love Next Door) Ha Young (Trauma Code: Heroes on Call) Heo Sung Tae (Crash) Jeon Bae Soo (Fearless Blood) Lee hae Won (Perfect Crown) Cast From Le

The plot of Undercover High School is so unserious. It's meant to be a pure action comedy, wasn't ever actually that funny...

Summer Strike follows introverts falling in love, with the similar vibes of daily life and burn out found in We Are All Trying Here and My Liberation Notes (but less heavy). The drama is very quiet and VERY slow paced...

So I'm torn... because the first chunk of episodes were so funny, but the plot lost it's flavor the longer it went on. ..

Title: Death's Game (2023) Platform: Prime Video MDL & IMBD Rating: 8.8 & 8.4 Genre: Contemporary Fantasy/ Thriller Episode Count: 8 total (4 in Part 1, 4 in Part 2) Last Episode Watched: 3 Parental Guidance Rating: TV-16: (Graphic) violence, substance abuse, smoking, suicide, Language. I dunno, I would call this MA, but maybe only the first few eps are intense? For More Info: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26225038/parentalguide/ Starring: Seo In Guk (Doom at Your Service) Par

No, the title is not a typo; the drama is in fact called "W". The premise was fun and felt very 2010's CW with a Female Lead who transmigrates into the comic book her father created, only to end up falling in love with its fictional protagonist...

King the Land is a fluffy, no stakes rom com about the "king" (aka Chaebol) of a hotel who falls in love with a capable employee. It gave hallmark and 2010's rom com energy, but I still wanted more from it...

Strong Girl Nam Soon is quite the deviation from Strong Girl Bong Soon (Also Known as: Strong Woman Bong Soon). The drama is a spin off that was looking to capitalize on the popularity of the originator with a bigger budget, shiny cast, and Marvel aspirations. Alas. ..

My Liberation Notes is an incredibly slow and thoughtful drama, packed to the brim with amazing dialogue that explores the mundane and downright depressing of everyday life in a way that doesn't sugar coat things, but treats it to its best angle. The drama is written by the same screenwriter as We Are All Trying Here and My Mister, so the vibes are indeed depressing, and much second hand embarrassment will be thrust on your eyeballs. ...

Okay, so these actors are only 2 years apart, but why does she look so much younger!!!! Lee Hye Ri has been gifted eternal youth and it just threw me off. I think it was made worse by the fact that Shin Woo Yeo (ML) is a professor at her University, and serves up "Edward Cullen" energy by being 1000 years old...

Youtube's Ms. Rachel and a reformed gangster fall in love.

I really liked the first few episodes and thought the leads had great chemistry. Unfortunately, the FL was too immature for her age for me to take her seriously and after the "mystery" is revealed the story drags. The secondary romance was also kind of weird...

Title: Romance in the House (2024) Platform: TVING, Netflix MDL & IMBD Rating: 7.6 & 6.8 Genre: Contemporary Rom Com Episode Count: 12 Last Episode Watched: 3 Parental Guidance Rating: TV-14: Substances, Language Starring: Ji Jin Hee (Move to Heaven) Kim Jee Soo (365: Repeat the Year) Son Na Eun (Agent Kim Reactivated) Choi Min Ho (Somehow 18) Yoon San Ha (My Girlfriend is the Man!)

A contemporary fantasy with Nine Tailed Aspirations with a likable couple, but the acting wasn't there for me. ..

Why I dropped: This one is on me. I didn't pay attention to the MA rating and was caught off guard by all the swearing. I'm a wimp when it comes to that sort of thing, but I know people really like this one, so if that's not a concern, I say go for it!

2.8/5 Stars: My Dearest Nemesis was corny in the way burnt popcorn is: Overdone, stale, and inedible. You can find fresher, calorie filled entertainment to snack on elsewhere.

2.8/5 Stars: A Hallmark story that lacked energy, chemistry, and common sense. It wasn't awful, but I wish I would've dropped,

2.9/5 Stars: Melo Movie is Our Beloved Summer 2.0 with less interesting characters and chemistry, but more potential that fell to the wayside in pursuit of overdone tropes.

3/5 Stars: An intense drama that is very watchable, but not very good.
