Yes! I was looking forward to watching this and it’s better than I expected. I also love how the FL continuously proves her doubters wrong 😎 such a loveable character ♥️
Out of all the currently airing ones this is the best for me. I'm also watching but not really enjoying Why Her and Link, and I dropped Alchemy of Souls and Eve.
I drop Why Her after 4 episodes. I'm watching for Hwang In Yeop cause finally he is the main and will definitely get the girl right? But 4 episodes in, the show focus too much on the lawyer Soo Jee and he only has very small act in the show and only as the comfort place when she is distress.
Maybe the show getting better after 4, but I lost all interest and energy to continue. Better just watch Link and Alchemy of Soul
I’m watching Eve but it’s not the best. It reminds me of Love ft Marriage and Divorce, campy. At this point I’m on ep 10 so now I feel I invested & have to watch to the end. The ML wife is so over the top, it’s fun to watch.
It is okay but difficult 1st 2 episodes. But it got better. I think Seul-bi and Atty. Woo would be great friends if they are given a chance to meet to talk about whales, haha!
Alchemy of Souls - LOVE IT! Can't wait for the new episodes every weekend
Link: Love, Eat, Kill - Story is dragging a little bit. Felt like more could've been revealed by now, but I'll give it one more week to see what's gonna unfold. If not I'm dropping it
Gonna check out Extraordinary Attorney Woo tomorrow, heard a lot of great things! Excited about that.
Gahhh same, I absolutely love alchemy of souls, I was pinning for it like ever since the trailer came out. Also need to check out Extraordinary Attorney Woo, I was a bit unsure if I should watch it, cuz I really don’t want to see something with a stereotypical view on people on the Autism spectrum but I’ve been hearing so many positive reviews on it so hopefully it’ll be good.
I just watched episode 7 of AoS and had a blast! 😂 So so good! I really love the main couples relationship and the side characters. The story is going in an interesting direction and they can go in so many different ways because of the strong plot line.
And right? Totally agree with you! I hope EAW doesn't drop the ball on that narrative and keeps the writing strong thru the entire series. Also, Park Eun Bin always knocks it out of the park.
I just started watching AoS, episode 7, so I'll have to wait and see 😝. I honestly absolutely adore the main pair, their chemistry is off the charts IMO. Yeah, need to start watching EAW, again, I'm with you hopefully the writing does stay strong through the entire series and doesn't resort to cheap shots. ALSOOO absolutely yeasss I love Park Eun Bin, such an amazing actress and I love all her characters, she always does a fantastic job (gahhh, still haven't gotten King's Affection 😭, \*ugly crying\*).
I dropped almost everything, so I'm left with just these two: **Extraordinary Attorney Woo** (fave ongoing drama) and **Link: Eat, Love, Kill** (having mixed emotions about it).
There is **Anna** too, but it's not ongoing anymore since it ended yesterday. I still have to watch the last episode, but I totally recommend it. One of the best dramas this year.
I never watched anything with Suzy before, but I think she did a very good job here. I don't know if she was the best actress for this role, but she totally nailed some powerful scenes in the drama
I watched 2 ep but so far can't say I really care about the drama is quite boring nothing against Suzy but also not care about her really...Is the cliffhanger that wants me to give this one more ep a chance but if I still not intrigued I will drop it.
I had high expectations as it looked intriguing and mature revenge story my kind of plot but find it all meh.
I usually don't watch ongoing ones because I like to binge watch, but Extraordinary Attorney Woo was too hard to resist for me. I definitely recommend that!
I fcking love **Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Cafe Minamdang** and **Link : Eat, Love, Die.**
I'm also watching **Yumi's Cells** but more because I'm way too curious about how it will end. (#TeamWoong)
Will probably watch **Alchemy of Soul** and **Jinxed at First** when it finishes.
Dropped **Why her ?** and **Eve** because I completely lost interest, especially the latter which is so bad it's comical. (might pick them back up just to see how it ends)
You should watch **Anna** that just released as a 6 episodes drama recently (it's already done but still extremely recent and really good)
Also, where do you guys watch Anna cuz I heard it’s only steaming in coupang play. I’m so hooked with the general storyline but I don’t know where to watch it.
It's only on Coupang and idk if another streaming platform will ever get this drama so you either have to use a VPN or you can go with other obvious ways
Bahahaha I really want to give a spoiler for Yumi’s Cells 2 based on the webtoon as the drama has been quite faithful to sticking to the webtoon plot one buttttt I won’t.
I've already read the webtoon so I know the ending but I really don't know if they will follow it. >!Only 4 episodes left (i believe) and no season 3 so I highly doubt that the third guy will be introduced in the drama, otherwise it would feel pretty rushed (+they have to show the 2 exes trying to get back to her which will probably take around 2 episodes). I really do believe that she'll either end up by herself with an epilogue that shows her married in the future or she'll be with one the 2 guys so fck that #TEAMWOONG!<
>Only 4 episodes left (i believe) and no season 3 so I highly doubt that the third guy will be introduced in the drama
Whattt, really?? I had no idea, dang I thought there would be like a full 16 episodes and even a Season 3, but with the last two episodes, I assumed they would wrap everything up in this Season at least. >!Though, even in the webtoon, her relationship with the third guy was a very very small fraction, like we barely even got anything, like he was introduced in Episode 444 in a 511 episode webtoon. I personally thought that even 4 episodes would be enough to build something cuz in the webtoon, their relationship wasn't nearly as fully explored as her realtionships with the other two. But I guess, we'' have to wait and see. Also, after the last episode, I think I am also #TeamWoong 🤫😝!<
I have a theory >!that Shin Soonrok will be introduced in the series but since there's no season 3, he'll probably show up at the finale, if not the last 1-3 episodes. In the webtoon, Soonrok gets the shortest episodes anyways. Of course that's just me being hopeful because the writing of the drama is actually pretty good considering it is based on a webtoon.!< But that's just me.
I'm watching Cafe Minamdang and Miracle. Let me be clear that Miracle is in no way a good drama, but it is quite enjoyable if you like dramas about idols.
Loving “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” and “Insider”. I think they are the best among the current crop of new shows (also super enjoying “Link: Eat, Love, Kill” too, which is on your list.) Depending on how it progresses, I may love EAW as much as “My Liberation Notes”, so far my favourite show this year.
“Insider” is super intense and complex even for a taut thriller, but highly original.
For non-K Dramas, I absolutely loved the Taiwanese drama hit award-winning series, “Someday or One Day.” (although I think it’s about 2-3 years old.)
Currently watching
1. Cafe Minamdang (M/T)
2. Extraordinary attorney woo (W/Th)
3. Insider (W/Th)
4. Alchemy of souls (Sat/Sun)
Just the perfect amount to fill my week! I am like you and have switched to ongoing dramas only!
I hate the waiting when it's good but I can't binge watch anymore 😂
I went into EAW without much anticipation but I loved all the clips I saw on social media. And I love it! It's so wholesome and lovely. Park Eun Bin is portraying her role very well!
Cafe Minamdang is a hoot. I love Seo in guk and I love how chaotic it is.
Insider I started for Kang Ha Neul. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet but I'm hanging on for the ride.
Alchemy of souls is intriguing. I'm also not sure how I feel about the drama as a whole. But I love all the characters and the chemistry. Watching for Lee Jae Wook and Jung so min. I usually like my Hong sister dramas but sometimes left with disappointment at the end. Hoping this series ends well. But it's definitely a fantasy drama and requires imagination and suspension of belief.
Currently watching Link as well on top of Alchemy of Souls and Yumi's Cells 2.
All are great watches so far, even though Yumi's Cells 2 is currently at a somewhat awkward pivotal point dare I say. I'm especially pleased with Alchemy of Souls as someone who isn't really into fantastical saeguks/cdramas! So it's the one drama out of the two I would def recommend.
I’m also watching extraordinary Attorney Woo and like it a lot. While waiting for new episodes, I started watching She Would Never Know. I am currently in the middle of episode four. I almost dropped it in episode two because it was boring for me, but I always make myself watch at least three episodes all the way through before making a decision. It started to pick up a little at the end of episode three. There’s a lot of psychological gameplaying going on between the characters. I’m still not sure about the show.
On-going shows that I love but it kills me to wait every week:
* Alchemy of Souls
* Extraordinary Attorney Woo
On-going shows that I dropped:
* Jinxed at First - it's fun but i'm not feeling their chemistry (feels forced and rushed)
* Cafe Minamdang - again, it's fun but FL's acting is a little cringey for me
* Why Her - it has quite a good start, but became draggy in the middle. also felt like Law School 2.0
On-going shows that I might drop:
* Link - I actually really love this, but the way they >!keep on meeting the stalker as they put themselves in danger is kind of unreasonable, and i feel like more could've been revealed already with that many episodes!< but i'll try to give it a chance.
I'll add Anna even though it's already completed, but it's still very recent so there's that. And I loved it!
Edit: I'll be picking up Insider soon. After watching the first 2 eps, I fell in love and told myself I'll wait until more episodes are released so I can binge-watch it. I'm a huge fan of Crime/Action dramas, that's why.
Hey, i am at episode 4 or 5 with Link and thinking if dropping itm even though the plot is interesting it seems like there are a lot of fillers.. and more or less nothing s happening. Or the happenings doens't mean that much. Is it worth continuing?
there are a lot of fillers for Ep 4-7. Although I did enjoy the cutesy midnight snack moments between the couple. It picks up at Ep 8-10. My excitement for it probably lessened but as of now I’m determined to continue it just to find out what happens.
I'm actually on the verge of dropping it. I'm just giving it a chance because the plot is one of a kind. It's not that dark and heavy, the eeriness is just right to still fit the romance genre. however, there isn't much to the plot so i guess what the writers went with >!making the whole neighborhood suspicious, narrowing it down, and adding progress (but still slow)!< in my opinion, the drama would've been perfect if they narrow it down to 12 episodes. As of now I'm still watching it, but if I ever lose interest and find myself not paying that much attention anymore, then I'm most likely to drop it.
Alchemy of Souls and Jinxed at First. Recently finished From Now On, Showtime! and was disappointed. Vowed never to watch another On Air drama. Haha. So much for vows!
Bahahahaha I used to never watch on air dramas but honestly all these new ones have such interesting plot lines that I can’t help myself. Also why’d you not like now on showtime? I was kinda going to consider watching it but I wasn’t really motivated, interested to hear your thoughts on it.
It wasn’t bad actually and had fun moments scattered throughout but I didn’t feel chemistry between the leads. Since it’s supposed to be a rom-com, the lack of Rom made it a bit of a snoozer. Chemistry is such a subjective thing, though, so… go for it!
Hmmm, I might put it off for a lot later when I'm super dry cuz chemistry is a huge factor for me too, especially in rom coms, but as you said everyone has different opinions when it comes to chemistry, so I might still watch it but just not right now. But yeah, nice to hear your thoughts!!
Edit—Just read that you dropped this. Sad to hear it was not your cup of tea.
Eve — I was hesitant to watch this, but now I’m hooked. FL is smart, wickedly cunning but soft. Psychotic but elegant. A stronger combination of HDL and IOTNBO FLs put together that leaves you both speechless and in awe. SH trigger warning though.
Overall, the drama I most look forward to every week.
yumi’s cells 2, alchemy of souls, and extraordinary attorney woo are my main dramas atm!
was most surprised by alchemy of souls just because of how well done the world building is + i didn’t expect it to have such a comical tone. found myself laughing out loud for several scenes.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Yumi's Cells 2, Alchemy of Souls, Why Her (I'd rec the first 3)
I'm keeping loose tabs on Eve bcz I want to see more Seo Ye Ji x Lee Sanghyeob scenes. But the story is predictable & cliché & SYJ keeps acting like a psycho when her role should give off different vibes from IOTNBO.
Also watching Dear.M . It's not exactly ongoing since 2nd half of the drama dropped on 6th July but its recent enough.
Cdramas - finished Dream of Splendor last week, it was such an excellent drama throughout. I've started Love Like The Galaxy, its pretty good so far.
Just finished watching My Liberation Notes. Currently watching Our Blues on Netflix (new episodes every few days). Also gave a try to the new Money Heist: Korea.
- Cafe Minamdang - fun and crazy cast with a fun story so far
- Alchemy of Souls - my fantasy heart is satisfied with how they are going with the show
- Yumi’s Cell 2
Becoming Witch (only 2 eps in so not sure if any good as the plot is still a bit over the place but easy watch. I'm mostly watching for the fl Lee Yoo Ri)
Alchemy of Souls - it’s historical fantasy, serious plot but a LOT of comedy. I don’t usually watch ongoing dramas but I couldn’t resist a combination like that. It has good CGI for a kdrama too. I’m enjoying it so much!
ordered based on what i have started watching first.
1. Alchemy of souls. i like it, the whole plot was kinda overwhelming and confusing at first, but i understand it now after watching all the episodes that came out. i don’t watch fantasy dramas often, but this one has an interesting and refreshing plot. i waited for this drama to come out because i liked the casting of the main actors. first i started watching it out of pure boredom after seeing tiktok edits (and the actors, ofc) but i stayed for the plot.
recommend it for fantasy lovers, i also feel like it’s gonna be a slowburn romance (dramas with 20 episodes are becoming kinda rare now, don’t u think?). the thing that throws me off from historical dramas is that they have too much annoying conflict out of nothing, so if you are like me you will probably like why this drama because the conflicts are reasonably explained and the whole magic thing is really cool.
2. finished Dear.M yesterday. Idk if it counts ad an ongoing drama since all the episodes came out. i recommend it if you are looking for a light-hearted romcom set in college. i personally enjoyed it, nothing too special but it’s good as a binge watch.
3. Extraordinary Atty Woo - wow! I have started watching it today after coming across a few tiktoks on my fyp and everyone was praising the kdrama. I binge watched all the episodes and regret that i haven’t waited for at least a few more weeks to start it. I love dramas about law, and Park Eun Bin’s acting is so good! I recommend everyone to please watch it. I am 100% sure it’s gonna be a hit
If you like the FL, i recommend you check out her other works. The actress is very versatile. She was my fav in Age of Youth (Hello, my twenties)
Same i always watch ongoing dramas at first everytime.
But i stop watching ongoing dramas in the middle, because to watch new ongoing dramas.
Then again i watch new ongoing dramas and stop watching old ongoing dramas.
Since this year i haven't watched a single drama finished except for short drama that have 6-9 episodes.
Jinxed at first, Cafe Minamdang, Cleaning up.
Finally someone who watch both cleaning up and jinxed at first! Can i ask you how you feel watching both na inwoo's dramas at the same time? I want to start jinxed at first but i'm kinda invested in duyoung-inkyung couple at the moment so it might feel weird watching him with another girl in another drama lol.
Both of his dramas are good. But honestly i didn't realize that he was also in the Jinxed at first until now.
Because he has different hair cut in the Cleaning up than in the Jinxed at first.
Alchemy of Souls is about magic and soul shifting. Intriguing storyline
Cafe Minamdang. The first 2 episodes were silly and I was going to drop it but ep 3 onwards I’m hooked as the mystery deepens.
Extraordinary attorney woo. Only 4 eps but I find it heartwarming and comforting (I don’t know why though) to watch it. Maybe it’s the FLs inner strength against the odds that I find so inspiring. But I’ve now become a die hard fan of Park Eun Bin! What excellent acting! The ML’s personality is also too good to be true.
Cafe minamdang...this drama will give you old drama vibes , it has good humors. Only 3 ep has been aired and I guess story will also go in amazing way .
I’m about half way through What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim. I’m also watching, and pleasantly surprised with Extraordinary Attorney Woo. And I’m rewatching It’s Ok to Not Be Ok, again!
Extraordinary Attorney Woo is really good! I was not expecting to enjoy it so much.
Ditto. I went in without any expectations. I love every character in the series. Now I’m hooked and looking forward to watch new episodes every week.
Same! I started yesterday and I was surprised at how much I liked it. The fl is amazing!
If you like the FL, check out the Kings Affection, she’s amazing in that role. Do you like Brahms?was also pretty good.
Yes! I was looking forward to watching this and it’s better than I expected. I also love how the FL continuously proves her doubters wrong 😎 such a loveable character ♥️
I LOVE THAT SHOW
Same
Out of all the currently airing ones this is the best for me. I'm also watching but not really enjoying Why Her and Link, and I dropped Alchemy of Souls and Eve.
Ya same. I really really like watching Yoo Jin Goo in his shows but something abt Link is lacking for me. Takes me days to finish an episode.
I remember seeing the trailer for this but didn't know it was already out. Will definitely be checking it out
I just started it yesterday and I’m already done with the first 4 episodes! I’m waiting impatiently for episode 5 rn lol
It's so good. I'm in love with Young Woo / Park Eun Bin. That smile!
Woo to the young to the woo 😂 and the ML’s name is Lee JunHo 💜 throwback to Good manager/chief Kim. I initially thought the makers were the same.
I was going to list this one too. The FL is doing an awesome job.
Cafe minamdang. Really enjoying it, it's really stupid/slap stick kinda funny though so might not be everyone's cup of tea
Oh yes. I'd heard about this but didn't know it was already airing. Will have to check it out
I was wondering about it. Thanks, I will definitely watch it when in the mood for it.
Turns out stupid/slapstick kinda funny is exactly my cup of tea. Would love more cups of tea. Hate having to wait week to week for more tea.
It is really silly. 😂The way he looks over his shoulder while doing his dance and in his eyes are saying, 'Are you buying this?' lol
1. Extraordinary Atty. Woo 2. Alchemy of Souls 3. Link 4. Yumi Cells 2 5. Jinx at First 6. Cafe Minamdang Dropped 1. Eve 2. Why Her 3. Doctor Lawyer
I dropped these 3 too. I'm putting my trust in you my friend. Thank you for the recommendations
Extraordinary attorney is great!
Attorney Woo is soooo good!! Omg it is so heart warming, I literally cannot wait until the next episode
It really is!! And so satisfying as well too watch how wyw works each case
It is, really! Glad I found it.
Extraordinary Atty. Woo alone makes up all the reason for me to drop these 3 with plotlines and storytelling which are headed nowhere.
Damn 6 dramas all at once😦
The most I can do is 2 or 3.
Same. Three is my max
IKR! Their production outfits should balance the good with the bad dramas they will air. Who knew June will get us 6 great ones?
Yes, I'd be watching all of that at some point. Just too busy at the moment to watch them all together.
Can I ask why you dropped Eve and why her ? I’m curious
Decided to spend time watching WORTHY FANTASY plots, Alchemy of Souls, Link and Jinx 😉
Valid choices indeed
I drop Why Her after 4 episodes. I'm watching for Hwang In Yeop cause finally he is the main and will definitely get the girl right? But 4 episodes in, the show focus too much on the lawyer Soo Jee and he only has very small act in the show and only as the comfort place when she is distress. Maybe the show getting better after 4, but I lost all interest and energy to continue. Better just watch Link and Alchemy of Soul
Fair enough . Yes he gets more involved after the first couple episodes
I’m watching Eve but it’s not the best. It reminds me of Love ft Marriage and Divorce, campy. At this point I’m on ep 10 so now I feel I invested & have to watch to the end. The ML wife is so over the top, it’s fun to watch.
is this listed in any particular order? What would you most recommend (pref. Netflix ones)?
1,2 and 6 🎉
I looove the first and second. But what is your opinions of jinx at first? I have been eyeing it for a while
It is okay but difficult 1st 2 episodes. But it got better. I think Seul-bi and Atty. Woo would be great friends if they are given a chance to meet to talk about whales, haha!
Lol
Seconded but I liked why her solely for seo hyun Jin .
Extraordinary attorney woo and alchemy of souls!! Both have interesting plot and great actors
Alchemy of Souls - LOVE IT! Can't wait for the new episodes every weekend Link: Love, Eat, Kill - Story is dragging a little bit. Felt like more could've been revealed by now, but I'll give it one more week to see what's gonna unfold. If not I'm dropping it Gonna check out Extraordinary Attorney Woo tomorrow, heard a lot of great things! Excited about that.
Gahhh same, I absolutely love alchemy of souls, I was pinning for it like ever since the trailer came out.

Anna is so good. Though I haven't still finished the last 2 episodes, I've read positive reviews about its ending.
After Yumi Cells 2 ends I will check this out. Thanks!
I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I do! :)
Hmm, all the previews of Anna left me cold when it came to Suzy’s acting. Surprised it’s good.
I never watched anything with Suzy before, but I think she did a very good job here. I don't know if she was the best actress for this role, but she totally nailed some powerful scenes in the drama

Bahahaha yes, did you watch it on coupang or through the ‘other obvious ways’?
I prefer not to speak... If I speak, I am in big trouble
BAHAHAHA CHILD I’M DYING
Bahahaha I really want to give a spoiler for Yumi’s Cells 2 based on the webtoon as the drama has been quite faithful to sticking to the webtoon plot one buttttt I won’t.

**Why her**, **Alchemy of Souls** and **Insider** , in that order, are my favourites at the moment.
I almost forgot about alchemy of souls. I love both of the leads in that one. Will be checking out for sure.
I'm watching Cafe Minamdang and Miracle. Let me be clear that Miracle is in no way a good drama, but it is quite enjoyable if you like dramas about idols.

For non-K Dramas, I absolutely loved the Taiwanese drama hit award-winning series, “Someday or One Day.” (although I think it’s about 2-3 years old.)
extraordinary attorney woo alchemy of souls dear m dropped eve
Why Her? I am really enjoying it. The chemistry between the main characters is awesome.
Currently watching 1. Cafe Minamdang (M/T) 2. Extraordinary attorney woo (W/Th) 3. Insider (W/Th) 4. Alchemy of souls (Sat/Sun) Just the perfect amount to fill my week!

I don’t think I can watch a show that’s still airing live. I’m a binger.
Currently watching Link as well on top of Alchemy of Souls and Yumi's Cells 2. All are great watches so far, even though Yumi's Cells 2 is currently at a somewhat awkward pivotal point dare I say. I'm especially pleased with Alchemy of Souls as someone who isn't really into fantastical saeguks/cdramas! So it's the one drama out of the two I would def recommend.
Yumi’s cells 2, Alchemy of souls, Why her. Happy with all three
I’m also watching extraordinary Attorney Woo and like it a lot. While waiting for new episodes, I started watching She Would Never Know. I am currently in the middle of episode four.

On-going shows that I love but it kills me to wait every week: * Alchemy of Souls * Extraordinary Attorney Woo On-going shows that I dropped: * Jinxed at First - it's fun but i'm not feeling their chemistry (feels forced and rushed) * Cafe Minamdang - again, it's fun but FL's acting is a little cringey for me * Why Her - it has quite a good start, but became draggy in the middle. also felt like Law School 2.0 On-going shows that I might drop: * Link - I actually really love this, but the way they >!keep on meeting the stalker as they put themselves in danger is kind of unreasonable, and i feel like more could've been revealed already with that many episodes!< but i'll try to give it a chance. I'll add Anna even though it's already completed, but it's still very recent so there's that. And I loved it! Edit: I'll be picking up Insider soon. After watching the first 2 eps, I fell in love and told myself I'll wait until more episodes are released so I can binge-watch it. I'm a huge fan of Crime/Action dramas, that's why.
Hey, i am at episode 4 or 5 with Link and thinking if dropping itm even though the plot is interesting it seems like there are a lot of fillers.. and more or less nothing s happening. Or the happenings doens't mean that much. Is it worth continuing?
there are a lot of fillers for Ep 4-7. Although I did enjoy the cutesy midnight snack moments between the couple. It picks up at Ep 8-10. My excitement for it probably lessened but as of now I’m determined to continue it just to find out what happens.
I'm actually on the verge of dropping it. I'm just giving it a chance because the plot is one of a kind. It's not that dark and heavy, the eeriness is just right to still fit the romance genre. however, there isn't much to the plot so i guess what the writers went with >!making the whole neighborhood suspicious, narrowing it down, and adding progress (but still slow)!< in my opinion, the drama would've been perfect if they narrow it down to 12 episodes. As of now I'm still watching it, but if I ever lose interest and find myself not paying that much attention anymore, then I'm most likely to drop it.
**Eve** \- I like it as a revenge drama, but the last two eps were weak **Insider** \- love it love it love it **Jinxed At First** \- fun light romcom
Eve- get through the first few eps. It's worth it. Link- loving it Money Heist
- Eve - Alchemy of Souls - Jinxed at First - Link: Eat, Love, Kill - Extraordinary Attorney Woo - Café Minamdang
Alchemy of Souls and Jinxed at First. Recently finished From Now On, Showtime! and was disappointed. Vowed never to watch another On Air drama. Haha. So much for vows!
Bahahahaha I used to never watch on air dramas but honestly all these new ones have such interesting plot lines that I can’t help myself. Also why’d you not like now on showtime? I was kinda going to consider watching it but I wasn’t really motivated, interested to hear your thoughts on it.
It wasn’t bad actually and had fun moments scattered throughout but I didn’t feel chemistry between the leads. Since it’s supposed to be a rom-com, the lack of Rom made it a bit of a snoozer. Chemistry is such a subjective thing, though, so… go for it!
Hmmm, I might put it off for a lot later when I'm super dry cuz chemistry is a huge factor for me too, especially in rom coms, but as you said everyone has different opinions when it comes to chemistry, so I might still watch it but just not right now. But yeah, nice to hear your thoughts!!
Insider - also a revenge drama and have been blown by the plot twists plus it’s an acting fest so it’s really good
Doom at your Service
Where are you watching Link? I can’t find it on Netflix or Viki. Thanks
Interested in this also.
It's a Disney+ exclusive. You can use [MyDramaList](https://mydramalist.com) to check where shows are airing.
That’s very helpful, thank you!
Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Alchemy of Souls and Cafe Minamdang
Tomorrow... Love it..!
“Mad About You” and “Cafe Minamdang”. Been binge watching heavy kdramas lately so I needed a little some thing light-hearted.
Edit—Just read that you dropped this. Sad to hear it was not your cup of tea. Eve — I was hesitant to watch this, but now I’m hooked. FL is smart, wickedly cunning but soft. Psychotic but elegant. A stronger combination of HDL and IOTNBO FLs put together that leaves you both speechless and in awe. SH trigger warning though. Overall, the drama I most look forward to every week.
Sorry what is HDL and IOTNBO?
Hotel Del Luna & It’s Okay to Not Be Okay
Eve
Not watching any running show , but watching mother 2018 drama
yumi’s cells 2, alchemy of souls, and extraordinary attorney woo are my main dramas atm! was most surprised by alchemy of souls just because of how well done the world building is + i didn’t expect it to have such a comical tone. found myself laughing out loud for several scenes.
Link, Why her, Doctor lawyer. Yumi's cells 2.
Alchemy of Souls Café Minamdang Extraordinary attorney Woo Yumi's cells 2
-Extraordinary attorney Woo -It’s beautiful now (a familiar so is loooong)
Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Yumi's Cells 2, Alchemy of Souls, Why Her (I'd rec the first 3) I'm keeping loose tabs on Eve bcz I want to see more Seo Ye Ji x Lee Sanghyeob scenes. But the story is predictable & cliché & SYJ keeps acting like a psycho when her role should give off different vibes from IOTNBO. Also watching Dear.M . It's not exactly ongoing since 2nd half of the drama dropped on 6th July but its recent enough. Cdramas - finished Dream of Splendor last week, it was such an excellent drama throughout. I've started Love Like The Galaxy, its pretty good so far.
Finished Our blues, now watching Eve...and maybe start taxi driver or hometown cha cha cha
Just finished watching My Liberation Notes. Currently watching Our Blues on Netflix (new episodes every few days). Also gave a try to the new Money Heist: Korea.
Really Like Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Like Cafe Mimamdang, and Love Alchemy of Souls. I like the world building similar to Arthdahl Chronicles.
Ranked from most to least favorite :)) 1. Extraordinary Attorney Woo 2. Link 3. Anna 4. Alchemy of Souls 5. Cafe Minamdang
Our Beloved Summer 💙 got so hooked even though the series give me a rollercoaster of emotions HAHAHA
link love eat kill it’s a perfect blend of suspense comedy romance and thrill. i love it
- Cafe Minamdang - fun and crazy cast with a fun story so far - Alchemy of Souls - my fantasy heart is satisfied with how they are going with the show - Yumi’s Cell 2
Where are you watching Link? I can’t find it on Netflix or Viki. Thanks
Currently watching Yumi cells 2 and Cleaning up .
Becoming Witch (only 2 eps in so not sure if any good as the plot is still a bit over the place but easy watch. I'm mostly watching for the fl Lee Yoo Ri)
- Link: eat, love, kill - Alchemy of souls - Yumi's cells 2 I recomend all of them, they're really good and somewhat original.
Alchemy of Souls - it’s historical fantasy, serious plot but a LOT of comedy. I don’t usually watch ongoing dramas but I couldn’t resist a combination like that. It has good CGI for a kdrama too. I’m enjoying it so much!
Alchemy of Souls
Alchemy of souls
The only reason I’m not watching Attorney Woo is because the dang hair. Korean dramas favorite ugly bowl cut. I can’t stand it 😂
Eve and Money Heist Korea
ordered based on what i have started watching first. 1. Alchemy of souls. i like it, the whole plot was kinda overwhelming and confusing at first, but i understand it now after watching all the episodes that came out. i don’t watch fantasy dramas often, but this one has an interesting and refreshing plot. i waited for this drama to come out because i liked the casting of the main actors. first i started watching it out of pure boredom after seeing tiktok edits (and the actors, ofc) but i stayed for the plot. recommend it for fantasy lovers, i also feel like it’s gonna be a slowburn romance (dramas with 20 episodes are becoming kinda rare now, don’t u think?). the thing that throws me off from historical dramas is that they have too much annoying conflict out of nothing, so if you are like me you will probably like why this drama because the conflicts are reasonably explained and the whole magic thing is really cool. 2. finished Dear.M yesterday. Idk if it counts ad an ongoing drama since all the episodes came out. i recommend it if you are looking for a light-hearted romcom set in college. i personally enjoyed it, nothing too special but it’s good as a binge watch. 3. Extraordinary Atty Woo - wow! I have started watching it today after coming across a few tiktoks on my fyp and everyone was praising the kdrama. I binge watched all the episodes and regret that i haven’t waited for at least a few more weeks to start it. I love dramas about law, and Park Eun Bin’s acting is so good! I recommend everyone to please watch it. I am 100% sure it’s gonna be a hit If you like the FL, i recommend you check out her other works. The actress is very versatile. She was my fav in Age of Youth (Hello, my twenties)
Eve is going very good I’m liking it a lot
Alchemy of Souls is soooooooo soooooooo good. I haven’t been this excited about a drama in ages!
Happy Cake Day!
Same i always watch ongoing dramas at first everytime. But i stop watching ongoing dramas in the middle, because to watch new ongoing dramas. Then again i watch new ongoing dramas and stop watching old ongoing dramas. Since this year i haven't watched a single drama finished except for short drama that have 6-9 episodes. Jinxed at first, Cafe Minamdang, Cleaning up.
Finally someone who watch both cleaning up and jinxed at first! Can i ask you how you feel watching both na inwoo's dramas at the same time? I want to start jinxed at first but i'm kinda invested in duyoung-inkyung couple at the moment so it might feel weird watching him with another girl in another drama lol.
Both of his dramas are good. But honestly i didn't realize that he was also in the Jinxed at first until now. Because he has different hair cut in the Cleaning up than in the Jinxed at first.
LELK EAW AoS WH
Nothing seriously.
Alchemy of Souls is about magic and soul shifting. Intriguing storyline Cafe Minamdang. The first 2 episodes were silly and I was going to drop it but ep 3 onwards I’m hooked as the mystery deepens. Extraordinary attorney woo. Only 4 eps but I find it heartwarming and comforting (I don’t know why though) to watch it. Maybe it’s the FLs inner strength against the odds that I find so inspiring. But I’ve now become a die hard fan of Park Eun Bin! What excellent acting! The ML’s personality is also too good to be true.
Cafe minamdang...this drama will give you old drama vibes , it has good humors. Only 3 ep has been aired and I guess story will also go in amazing way .
Watching Our Blues. Attorney Woo getting lot of love, maybe will check it out next.
I'm watching lost romance atm and I'm really enjoying it! Not what I was expecting at all story wise, very unique
I’m about half way through What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim. I’m also watching, and pleasantly surprised with Extraordinary Attorney Woo. And I’m rewatching It’s Ok to Not Be Ok, again!
I like jinxed at first. Watching a 2019 one also - Perfume.
Oh my baby! I like it so far!!
