It’s almost time for the new year to begin, and I think that, like the whole of 2019, December in particular went by pretty quickly. I didn’t get a chance to do a writeup for the dramas I watched in 2019, but I would still like to write them down in my fan wall, if only for myself.
They are down in the reply:)
I feel kind of sad that this year I didn’t have the time to do DB year end review since in 2017 I did one as a letter to my future drama watching self and in 2018 I did one on how I became empathetic for the first time while drama watching and cried along many of them. It would’ve been nice to have another one to keep a streak, but with the busyness of the holidays and being sick, I didn’t have the time to organize my thoughts on the dramas I watched. Looking back now, I watched a lot of pretty good dramas! I think I did a pretty good job at choosing which ones to live watch, since that is mostly what I did for the Korean dramas I did watch. My taste also changed a little: either I learned to put up with some ridiculousness and my patience has grown or I have always enjoyed said ridiculousness and wanted to keep that side of me hidden even from myself, lol. Whatever is the case, 2019 was a pretty good drama watching year for me:)
This is the list of dramas that I finished this year:
*Love-Love* (Dramas I enjoyed the most):
-Just Dance
-Sky Castle ♪We All Lie-Ha Jin♪
-A Moment at Eighteen ♪Moments-Christopher♪
-Be Melodramatic ♪Your Shampoo Scent in the Flowers-Jang Beom-jun♪
-ExtraOrdinary You ♪My Beauty-VERIVERY♪
-Father Is Strange (My first weekender and the only past drama I watched)
*Love-Like* (The littlest of oomph was needed for me to love-love these dramas):
-Top Star Yoo Baek
-Touch Your Heart ♪Make It Count-Chen♪
-The Light In Your Eyes
-That Psychometric Guy ♪Take-Jus2♪
-Her Private Life ♪Maybe-Lee Hae-ri♪
-The Secret Life of My Secretary
*Like-Like* (I might’ve liked them more, but…):
-Memories of Alhambra ♪Memories of Alhambra-Guitar music♪
-The Crowned Clown
-Vagabond
*Like…Not Really* (Just wished they could’ve been different):
-Let Me Hear Your Song
-Melting Me Softly (aka The One I dropped)
I also did something I never do: I rewatched my faves!
-Just Between Lovers
-Thirty, But Seventeen
-I’m Not A Robot
-Oh Hae-young Again
-Because This Is My First Life
I didn’t really watch a lot of older Korean dramas because I mostly filled in that space with C-drama rom-coms.
In order of enjoyment they are:
-When We Were Young
-Detective L
-Put Your Head On My Shoulder
-Go Go Squid
-Le Coup De Foudre
-A Little Thing Called First Love
-The World Owes Me A First Love
-Accidentally In Love
-Suddenly This Summer
-Lion Pride (Taiwanese drama)
It looks like I watched a lot, which I did, haha, but I also filled my days with Korean variety shows because I love to laugh and I needed to laugh a lot this year!
My daily staples:
-Sundays were for Running Man
-Mondays were for Master in the House (Used to be 1 Night,2 Days which is back and I’m watching it excitedly!)
-Tuesdays were for Ask Us Anything (aka Knowing Brothers)
-Saturdays were for Home Alone (aka I Live Alone)
On free days I watched these seasonal shows which I really enjoyed as well: Coffee Friends, The Great Escape 2, Village Survival: The Eight, Love Me Actually, Kang’s Kitchen 2, Little Forest, Busted Season 2, New Journey to the West 7.
