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

Strong Girl Bong Soon was the role that shot both Park Hyung Sik and Park Bo Young into superstardom, and is the 2nd most popular drama of all time on MDL. The premise was a fun twist on a superhero tale that thankfully stays grounded and contained, adding fun to an already enjoyable romance. The cancelled Kim Ji Soo makes an appearance as the 2ML and I honestly forgot he was in this lol. I really liked certain aspects of the drama...

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...

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...

True Beauty is the 10th most popular drama on MDL and has a reputation for second lead syndrome...

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!)

2.7/5 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.

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 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 it might make you more bored.

3/5 Stars: A short, fluffy Rom Com that felt like an underdeveloped Our Beloved Summer.

3.1/5 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.

3.6/5 Stars: Not a must watch, but a fun time with a whacky premise that somehow works.

3.8/5 Stars: A truly hilarious and quintessential Rom Com, but doesn't go deep.

Title: Dynamite Kiss (2025) Platform: Netflix MDL & IMBD Rating: 7.8 & 7.4 Genre: Rom Com Episode Count: 14 Parental Guidance Rating: TV-14: Minor violence, minor swearing, makeouts, self harm (slit wrist), alleged cheating, and themes of suicide. On the spicier end for a rom com.

3.9/5 Stars

4.25/5 Stars Fight For My Way is chaotic gumbo of romance, friendship, and sports, with a splash of a coming of adulthood tale, where four friends strive to find and follow their dreams, while struggling with societal expectations.
