This Drama-Year has kind of been MEH for me. Not much really clicks with me 🙁
We’re already half-way through and I’ve only watched 3 dramas: Boyfriend/ Encounter, Touch Your Heart, and Her Private Life. Which I actually all loved (but which were also kinda ruined by last-minute tropes).
I started Confession, but dropped it halfway through bc it was boring.

Right now I’m on a short 1 week drama-hiatus, because of finals (😭😭😭), but…
My current watch-list includes Angel’s Last Mission, which I’m not caught up on last week’s ep. yet (I liked it, but I might drop it depending on how it progresses), checked out Asadal Chronicles (which I’m sure I won’t finish, sorry SJK).
Of the newly-released dramas, Search WWW is the one that seems up my alley, but I have yet to check it out.

Last year, I watched a lot of melos (and thrillers), and there were many which were good. In that vein, I’d love to watch this year’s The Light in Your Eyes, but I simply haven’t been in the mood.
I guess this year I’m leaning more into Romance & Rom-Coms… partly because there hasn’t (IMO) been a really good Mystery/ Thriller around.

I really hope that the second half of this year brings amazing shows.

    I loved SKY Castle, but so far that’s the only 2019 drama to make it to my favorites list. And we’re halfway through already! How sad. 🙁 But I’m currently watching My Fellow Citizens and loving it so far!! I really hope the second half has some gems waiting for us.

      Forgot SKY Castle happened this year!
      I did watch it but never finished it, bc I was busy at that time. Thanks for reminding me, I shall get to it soon!

    Maybe comedies like My Fellow Citizens, Special Labor Inspector Jo and The Fiery Priest will please you?

    When you will be in the mood for melo, try watching Beautiful World. It’s a great show about school bullying, presumed suicide, the reactions and the investigation around it.

      I thought the comedies would do it for me as well, but nah. I don’t even why.
      And Beautiful World omg, I don’t think I have the heart for that. Kudos to those who were strong enough to watch it. Even the teasers made me queasy.

        Beautiful World was really good. The first episode was rough, but the mystery keeps you guessing for awhile. You’ll be comforted by the main family as the drama goes along.

        Beautiful World can be hard at first (it’s totally my type of drama so not for me) but the journey with characters is satisfying. You really need to be in the mood to watch it 🙂

        You can try webdramas? On youtube there are a lot subbed on Playlist Global, dingo story and more. They’re good compact romance stories that don’t require lots of time investment.

    At this rate you may get demoted to Drama Princess 🙂

    But please try My Fellow Citizens.

      HA! Okay that was a good one. 😂😂😂
      I have to admit part of the reason I haven’t checked out My Fellow Citizens is because Kim Min-jung is in it, and I’ve just never been able to stomach her acting.
      A lot of people have recommended this drama though, but i don’t see how I could get around her… 🙂

    You should at least try My Strange Hero and My Fellow Citizens.

    I think it’s been a great drama year but then I watched Children of Nobody, Sky Castle and The Light In Your Eyes. All were fantastic but not fun and not easy to watch. The other two are just so sweet and fun.
