K-Dramas (February-May 2022)
1. My Liberation Notes
About: Three siblings, exhausted by the monotony of day to day adulthood, seek to find fulfillment and freedom from their unremarkable lives
Interesting posters, lovely intro video, and beautiful sceneries that makes every scene & line that's being delivered seem poetic. These are what captivated me from the beginning. But it's not just that. My Liberation Notes is remarkable because it realistically depicts the mundane lives of adults that the actors said it feels like they are shooting for a documentary. The way they explore adults issues such as loneliness, working lives, family dynamic, and even highlight the introverts struggle is what really gets me... Every character has something that I can relate to. And that's why it's so easy to get immersed in the story.
It may be a slow paced drama, but that's its charm. Even when there are so many quiet scenes with no dialogues, I find it so refreshing to watch how much the silence speaks and how inner monologues could deliver deeper meanings to the stories. The lines make me feel that my uneasy feelings about life/the world feel validated while watching it.
My Liberation Notes is a gem with a genre that's hard to find & that makes it my fave drama of this year <3
2. Twenty Five Twenty One (2521)
About: In a time where dreams seem out of reach, a teen fencer pursues her ambitions and meets a hardworking young man who seeks to rebuilds his life.
2521 has everything you could ask for in a youth drama: heart fluttering romance, heartwarming friendship, and hopeful stories that encourage you to pursue your dreams. I knew I'd love it when it started out engaging with the introduction of young Hee Do & Yi jin who have a contrasting perspectives about the world. Yijin is a hardworking guy who starts to feel the weight of reality and feel lost, meanwhile Hee Do is a bright girl with an optimistic spirit. Her existence has brought Yijin to hold on hope and be brave enough to taste happiness that comes his way. I must stress, I love how they build connection in the pursuit of happiness together!! The friends to lovers excellency!
Asides from the two relationship, the whole friendship stories of the five are what makes it more gripping. Their characters development, how they bond with each other, and how comical & refreshing each scene of them together was. It truly brightens the atmosphere of 2022 <3
3. A Business Proposal
About: Hari, a regular employee, shows up to a blind date in disguise of her rich friend to scare him away. Things go awry when he turns out to be her CEO and makes a proposal.
1) I didn't expect the scenes to produce this much laughter and 2) I didn't expect this kdrama to be this nice & entertaining! Even though the stories is full of cliche & (even some cringe lines), they managed to get high ratings during its airing. It's no wonder though. Not only serving us with the leads' visuals, every character is interesting in their own way and both main & side romance are just as adorable. It's a light kdrama & that's amusing to watch. Definitely one of the best romcom to me!
4. Thirty Nine
About: Three best friends leaning on each other as they experience life, love, and loss on the brink of turning 40.
This drama was claimed to be heartwarming, when it turns out it is also heart wrenching at the same time. I was particularly drawn to the lessons that friends make life worth living and that love always perseveres. It's heartwarming to see the three best friends are so devoted to each other and try to be their happiest selves when they're together. The actors' chemistry is also overflowing more than I can expect. One thing I want to note about 39 is that I don't agree with some of the things in this kdrama (if you watch the drama you'll know). It's not a flawless kdrama but still, it's a decent adult friendship kdrama with impeccable acting & satisfying characters arc.
5. Shooting Stars
About: Daily lives of people in an entertainment agency and romance between a top star and a head of the stars' promotion team.
The trope is nothing new, it reminded me of kdramas like So I Married an Anti Fan with slight difference. I can't describe the trope well... and that, in fact, is what makes it appealing. The leads are friends who are also enemies who will (obviously) become lovers. Their interaction dynamic is really engaging to watch and wrapped in fun vibes. At first, I wasn't that attracted to the portrayal of the side characters though. But as I get to know them, they become more interesting & I realize that they're also important part of the story as they give us insight about the lives of people working in entertainment industry.
5. Tomorrow
About: A young man who is employed by a company of grim reapers in the underworld to save people's lives.
I was mainly fascinated by the visuals the whole time I watched this... and the plot is also compelling. A company of grim reapers? Interesting. A division of grim reapers whose job is to save people's lives? Sign me up. Also, with the team that consisted of two cool grim reapers (who behave like cats) who adopted a guy (who behaves like adorable puppy)? Amusing.
Each episode has different themes to tell, but it has a central story. Though dealing with serious issue like suicides, it is also combined with humour but stlll, those who feel vulnerable must be careful with the triggers. It's a supernatural drama with unique vibes and it's reflective with advices to give.
6. The Sound of Magic
About: a magician living in an abandoned theme park who helps a disenchanted teenager enduring her harsh reality.
I didn't expect it to be a musical drama?? although the title seems pretty obvious. But I like to be surprised & impressed though. As the first musical kdrama I've ever seen, the first few minutes is already intriguing. The characters have interesting stories, especially the mysterious magician. Tbh it felt kinda off to see the casts in their roles at first (the after effects of seeing them in their previous works) but their good actings as great actors help me got adapted to see their roles immediately. The whole musical performances always filled with magical & pleasant looking cinematography & I like that a lot.
7. The Killers' Shopping List
About: An odd murder case near the supermarket that leads the supermarket workers (Dae Sung and his mother) with Dae Sung's girlfriend to figure out the case together.
Watched it for the casts, and the plot seems new and interesting too. It is filled with misteries but seasoned with humours. I have watched two eps and it's not bad, but I am still waiting to be more enthralled though...

While I am not sure why The Killer's Shopping List gave my Psychopaths Diary vibes from the synopsis and the promo material but it did. Or maybe it was just a wishful thinking on my part due to the fact that I genuinely adored that show and it's odd characters, well layered mystery, crazy antics and just the mix of humor and traditional crime show stuff.
But where Psychopaths Diary was more dark, bleak comedy this one seems to lean more into the quirky side of things. Which I don't mind at all.
I am not that into who-done-it or a murder mystery in general or I don't seek it out is more like it, but I occasionally do get sucked into it from time to time. But a comedy-murder mystery sort of sounds like something I could very well get behind.
Kwangsoo is very good at comedy, but he isn't always given the material that truly make him shine even if he is always likeable and will steal the scene that he is in. Lot of dramas just want him to exaggerate or overdue the doofus character that he has from variety shows, but this character isn't that, because Kwangsoo can do dramatic stuff as well... and dramatic comedy really well. He just sort of get's stuck with the same stuff, especially if he is not in the lead (like some of his movie roles).
Like the drama it's quirky enough to be fun and entertaining but it knows when to draw back and give you more somber or serious moments without all of those elements one-upping one another.
His character is quirky, but quite ordinary and relatable at the same time. And I feel like that can be said about most of the characters we have met so far. They all have their silly little quirks, shown on their title cards when they first show up (normally I sort of frown at those because it's quite show but don't tell but this show makes it work/makes it their own) and yet these feels like characters that you sort of just know.
The show never drags it's feet or just gives us a one solid episode of just setup and infodumps to prepare you for the drama ahead. They do manage to introduce you to the main story, the people in it and the sort of main conflicts in a way that just flows very well together. It really takes you on a ride, nothing feels just for fluff or anything and the actual who-done-it and the clues that are being brought before us are compelling. And the friendly neighborhood shopping mart setting is a very clever and new setup for a who-done-it.
I feel like the story, or the writers, know what it's doing and it gives me confidence within the story. And the cliffhangers are good and makes you want to continue on and know more of the story. The first two episodes felt like a breeze to me. I held my attention the whole time, it was fun, it was exciting and made me actually chuckle outload at times. It truly was what I was hoping it would be when I started it, despite not 100% delivering on Psychopaths Diary vibes.
I can see myself being as entertained by The Killer's Shopping List as I was that show. If it has the story and the humor to sustain itself throughout all of it’s episodes. I hope it does.

Title: #TheKillersShoppingList
Main Cast: #KimSeolHyun #LeeKwangSoo #JinHeeKyung #ParkJiBin
Episodes: 8
Though this was only 8 episodes long it seemed like a full fledge drama. It was a pretty fun show with an amazing cast. Lee Kwang Soo's character (Dae Song) cracked me up as well as Seolhyun's character (Do A Hee). A Hee is pretty cool, she's a super tough police officer that is also super sweet and is very protective of her man. Dae Song is a super nosy grocery store worker that will do anything to figure out who the killer in the story is. This is basically about a series of murders in the neighborhood and the main characters hilarious journey in trying to solve who is committing the murders. Being short doesn't affect the drama at all and in all actuality makes it totally worth bingeing. The characters are so good and quirky you just have to see what I mean. Definitely recommended! P.S. Seolhyun 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
