N.B. *Technically my I Remember You Complete Show Reaction Transcript and Final Write Up is number 6 at 3703 words, but I havenโt shared this on DB yet so Iโm not including it, and it is like my entire list of notes and commentary from the whole show watching so it sort of doesnโt count. Anyway, I may share that or just the final write up at a later date.*
Tagging @anothernicole because you wanted this with links ๐ sorry it took so long to share.
Honestly, most of these are rants. Which is kinda sad, when you think about how I only like 2/11 of these dramas, but it is a good indicator of how much I like to analyse stuff ๐
There’s a lot sitting between 1k and 2k, I don’t think EY makes this list yet, but yes I’ve written a bit on it and there’s more to come lol.
Also this is just like a list of SINGLE write ups per word count, not how much I wrote per drama over the whole run time, every post and every rant, because that’s almost impossible to count hahahaha
Okay so I’ve been wanting to watch that for FOREVER but I struggle to find it online in good quality and with good subs so I’d like LOVE to watch it and ofc subsequently review it but I have to find it first…
Was the post about Remember You also a rant? I like the leads very much but I tried the first eps long ago and dropped it, the ML felt like a Sherlock copy and PBG had not yet shown up, JN also wasn’t at her best. Many people liked it so I keep thinking about giving it another chance? For the record I think I’ve been really demanding with kdramas lately, most of these in the list I dropped after 20 minutes, and the ones I did complete, like MoA, Million Stars and HdL, also deserved rants.
Lol. Not entirely no. I actually loved IRY.
The ending wasn’t perfect and I did critique it because I thought it could’ve gone an extra step farther, but in comparison to most of these other essays it is a soft critique and I praised it too.
Perhaps it takes a bit to get into, I don’t know. I’ve watched Sherlock and I didn’t find him much like Sherlock at all; I can see the similarities but I think entirely different things were tryi6to be explored with each character and in IRY his motivations and background are quite different.
I really enjoyed it from a character perspective and found the plot writing exceptionally tight for the majority of it.
Some people didn’t like the romance, I thought it was fine.
It also had some excellent directing and clever moments.
I would highly recommend it though. And definitely give it another chance.
Lookout I would also highly recommend. It’s the only write up on this list that is more praise than rant. (There’s still ranting because the execution of the ending was poor though lol).
The rest of these shows I pretty much hate, although some more than others (e.g. Kill It is trash but I weirdly liked a lot of it, and Circle I don’t despise I just thought it was heavily flawed and couldn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to, but The Crowned Clown is my most hated drama) and goodness knows why I finished them all but I did.
Kill it was one of those dropped in 20 minutes kkkk
Clown was sageuk and I knew it would be about politics so also dropped
The most hated in this list will always be Hotel del Luna because even the title is ridiculous and I made myself go through the thing.
Oh make no mistake, Kill It isn’t GOOD at all, and the essay is pretty much all ranting about it lmao, but I enjoyed watching it pfft.
If I had to rank these like from most hated, HDLL and HMS would come second after TCC. But if you want to know more about what I think of each you have the essay links now hahaha

Can I suggest JOSEON X-FILES for a review? I’d recommend it over CIRCLE.

The best subs you can get is by WITH S2 and it’s on line at one of the not so legal site.

I will try then, this time Sherlock from BBC is not so fresh on my mind so I’ll ignore the similarities.
