May is such a busy month for me and on top of that I got into reading and audiobooks, so I really had no time to watch dramas.😔But hopefully I can remedy that all in June! 😅
I only finished two new dramas and I rewatched one drama in May:
-From Me To You (Jdrama) ⭐️
-The Love You Give Me (Cdrama)⭐️ -Business Proposal ❤️
From Me To You:
I don’t really see many Jdramas, maybe because I don’t hear a lot about them. I think I might’ve heard someone talk about this one, but to be honest, the only reason I picked it up was because I wanted to watch something while I ate and since Viki doesn’t work on my kindle, I scrolled Netflix and this was recommended to me. I liked it, the friendships were great, but it doesn’t really stand out to me. Even now as I try to recall it, I just get the feeling that I was satisfied with the ending, and I guess that is good enough for me since I’ve decided to erase everything else.
The Love You Give Me:
I really like Cdramas because I can go through them very quickly and I don’t feel bad skipping around, I’m just there for the fluff. I don’t think this one had a lot of fluff, but it did have a cute family story of being parents to an adorable child! I think I enjoyed watching it because it wasn’t bad, it just isn’t one I want to rewatch. I liked how everything wrapped up, and I was also satisfied by the ending!
Business Proposal:
I remembered loving and waiting impatiently for new episodes to drop when I live-watched this that when I was in the mood to rewatch a short drama with no stakes (since I already knew what was going to happen) I thought of this drama. I guess I totally forgot everything about it or I was just in the mood for it because what was supposed to be a background show while I was catching up on chores over the weekend, turned into me carrying my laptop around for three days attached to my hip. Not sure if I just wanted to avoid everything going on in my life or it was really good even on a second watch, but I hadn’t binged like that in a while, lol. The archaeopteryx joke does not get old though!! 😂
I watched From Me To You recently (the live action version) and I really liked it – I agree though that nothing stood out particularly and it wasn’t a story that lingered in my head for ages or anything but it was a really sweet watch and something soothing to watch over lunch or on a break!
If you’re looking for some others (because yes I agree, we don’t hear much about them compared to K & C dramas), I also enjoyed ‘Hold My Hand at Twilight’, it’s a romcom but with quite a bit of angst and pining, but it’s also very sweet. I’ve also heard First Love Hatsukoi and the on-air Ousama ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi are quite good (the latter is more in the feel good trashy romcom though I think) – I’ve got both on my watchlist!
Yes to all your recs! I wouldn’t say Ousama is trashy, it’s quite sweet. It just feels very j-drama in the sense that it throws you in the deep end of the pool with no warning.
Ooo, thanks for the recs, @lapislazulii! I’m hitting a wall when pushing play to a new drama so I rather go for the ones that are already finished and approved by Beanies!
