5.9/10 Stars: A grounded historical drama of self-determination that yeeted itself into space with soap opera "Idol" dramatics half way through, and was both hindered and made more complex by an unlikeable FL.

5/10 Stars: A coming of age tale for the boys, that was elevated by the girls, but couldn't decide what kind of story it was trying to be, so ultimately floundered, despite thought provoking themes.

5.4/10 Stars: A satirical Transmigration Period Rom Com (whew) that lost its way, and drank too much of its own Kool Aid to remember what it was trying to be.

5.4/10 Stars: A modern day Journey to the West with a lifeless human FL and immortal characters with (thankfully) a lot of charm. The story suffered from choppy pacing, directionless narrative, and an impressive lack of chemistry between the main couple. It was an Odyssey of a watch alright, just Odysseus's. I joke, it wasn't THAT bad.

5.6/10 Stars: My Dearest Nemesis is corny in the way burnt popcorn is: Overdone, stale, and inedible. You can find fresher, calorie filled entertainment to snack on elsewhere.

5.7/10 Stars: A Hallmark story that lacked energy, chemistry, and common sense. It wasn't awful, but I wish I would've dropped.

5.9/10 Stars: Melo Movie is Our Beloved Summer 2.0 with less interesting characters and scant chemistry, with potential that fell to the wayside in pursuit of overdone tropes.

6/10 Stars: An intense drama that is very watchable, but not very good.

6/10 Stars: An inoffensive nothing burger that should have been a movie, but relies on Jisoo's star power and cameos to make up the difference. It's a fine watch if you're bored, but there is a risk you might become even more bored.

6/10 Stars: A healing island romance in which three sisters return home to get black out drunk everyday, and find respite and romance in their hometown. Not terrible, but not good.

6/10 Stars: A Joseon drama with a modern feel that raised the bar with cinematography, costuming, and acting, but then immediately did the Limbo underneath said bar with it's overly Mary Sue main character and unrealistic plot.

5.9/10 Stars: An annoying FL, inconsistent characters, and poor pacing make Moon River a body swapping drama I'd rather swap out for something else.

6/10 Stars: A mid-tier historical fantasy filled with romance, painting, and demons.

6/10 Stars: A short, fluffy Rom Com that felt like an underdeveloped Our Beloved Summer.

6/10 Stars: Generation to Generation is an.. uh.. unexpected feast for the eyes, that really leans into the zany with crazy costumes, terrible lighting, and remarkably bad editing. Despite this, some wisps of a great story still peak through, aided by a fantastic older generation of characters, and younger characters (and actors) who still have a long way to go.

6.2/10 Stars: A robot pretending to be a human and a human pretending to to be a bodyguard fall in love in a Sci Fi romance straight outta the 2010's that takes itself a little too seriously. lol.

6.2/10 Stars: A drama made up of themes delving into marital status and societal expectations, with frustrating characters and a final arc that left me salty.

6.2/10 Stars: A genre rollercoaster that is sure to give you whiplash with a standout performance by Go Youn Jung, who gave her all to translate a convoluted plot into something with meaning. Can this love be translated? Eh, I'm not sure....It was a confuddling time.

6.3/10 Stars: A Contemporary Fantasy that tries too hard to be like a Marvel show with a sky high budget, on location shoots, and a great cast who struggled with their inconsistent characters, as they found themselves trapped in a convoluted plot like a Genie in a bottle. I would like to make a wish that this was better.

6.4/10 Stars: A Robin Hood-esque Joeson tale of body swapping and romance that suffers from severe miscasting and inconsistent story telling, but is still a mostly pleasant watch.
