Vigilante has blown my mind. It has ticked every one of my boxes thus far. I do not exaggerate when I say that every single second of the four episodes I've seen had me HOOKED. Every second.
Yes, I do mean that unironically 👀
I'm not coherent rn, nor will I ever be about this I think, but if you enjoyed Taxi Driver and are waiting for season 3, like me, you can NOT miss this show. It's been adapted from a web toon (not sure how well) and while it is on the darker side (more so than Taxi Driver, because the consequences for the bad guys are significantly worse), it has a beautiful lightness to it that (refreshingly!) doesn't trivialise the deeper themes but in fact charges the whole show with emotion and nuance. The friendships and the mentoring are not too on the nose but instead perfectly balance the protagonist's lonelier and darker side.
So very gratifying to watch a kdrama that delivers like this after a long time. The action. The acting. The music. The drama. The writing. The pace. The plot. They did not pull any punches, good lord.
I have to say that the ending of the fourth episode delivered a full course meal. I could NOT be more satisfied. Which is why I'm here! Ranting about it to you! Go watch it if you're looking for some quality escapism 🙌

Perfect Marriage Revenge (2023) Episode 5
At first i thought this drama wasn't going to be good but i was wrong it's one of the most amazing drama i have seen this year.
I love the cast and the leading actors are really talented.
I'm loving the way their relationship is developping even if, it all started with a marriage contract.
I can't wait for them to get married and to see how all of this is going to turn out.
The story line is so great. Waiting for ep 6 tomorrow.
THE END FOR TODAY!

First Impressions: Cheer Up
Wondering what the new #CheerUp #kdrama is all about? Wonder no more, because Drama Geek and The Maknae have you covered.
Once upon a time, there was a completely adorable little kdrama about high school students overcoming their differences to become a winning cheerleading team. It starred the likes of Jung Eun Ji and Chae Soo Bin and Lee Won Keun, and captured the hearts of viewers everywhere.
Cheer Up is NOT a remake of that kdrama – it’s set in the college arena, there are mysteries galore, and the cheerleading…

No official poster out yet. Will update
Episodes: Unknown

How could I not know that Lee Jae Wook was appearing in a new drama?! I need to watch this ASAP. Unfortunately, the exact release date is not out yet and we don't even have a poster (I'm writing this on the 29th of January, in case it changes), so deep inside I feel it may not come out this month.
