I watched many more dramas this year than I did the previous years. Maybe it’s because I didn’t find the music fandom too appealing so I turned to the drama fandom. Whatever the reason, I also ended up recapping two dramas and let me tell ya, it was like writing two 5000+ word papers every single week for two/three months, and the papers were due on consecutive days, always.

WHAT THE HELL.

The dramas I managed to finish in their entirety: Boys Over Flowers, You’re Beautiful, Brilliant Legacy, Triple, and an oldie, The Devil/Mawang.

The dramas that I tried to watch, but had to drop out of sheer boredom/ludicrousness: Japanese: Code Blue and Maou (remake of Mawang). Korean: Swallow the Sun, Hot-Blooded Salesman, and Partner.

The dramas I’m in the process of watching: Will it Snow for Christmas? and Black & White.

I have reached a boiling point with Minam. I can’t tolerate her any longer. Why does this ALWAYS happen with K-dramas?! When will I find the best, sickest, bravest, most-badass, invincible female lead ever and will they be able to stay consistent even in the face of love?! Minam ain’t it, that’s for sure.

As for Jeremy, all I have for him is a big question mark.

Well, you win some, you lose some.
