6/10 Stars: A mediocre rom com with little chemistry where a fangirl lands a dream job at the company founded by her favorite Idol, only to find herself Reverse Uno-ed when her idol becomes her second biggest fan, with first place going to none other than the CEO.

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...

Dropped: Our Sticky Love isn't a sticky as it thought it was, because it in no way adhered to my good opinion. The drama is a Rom Com that tried desperately to be cheeky by being self aware and referential with sly looks directly at the camera, but drank too much of it's own K-Drama kool aid to think about how it looked on the other end.

Dropped: 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.

Dropped: 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...

Dropped: What if Youtube's Ms. Rachel and a reformed gangster fell 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...

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

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.

5.6/10 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 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 short, fluffy Rom Com that felt like an underdeveloped Our Beloved Summer.

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.

7.25/10 Stars: Not a must watch, but a fun time with a whacky premise that somehow works.

7.6/10 Stars: A truly hilarious and quintessential Rom Com that doesn't go deep, but for once, I didn't mind.

Dropped: 4.6/10 Stars: Spare yourself.

7.8/10 Stars: A Hallmark premise done right in a tight knit coastal community with a big city girl and a small town jack of all trades who slowly fall for each other.
