Also, I’m desperately trying to get through my 2022 watchlist before the end of the year! Does anyone have recommendations??? I might try Adamas next, and I’m also considering Bad and Crazy.

    I tested Adamas and stopped it and I could have dropped Bad and Crazy but WHJ was cute and funny.

      Hahaha, so not a glowing review for either? Okay, it might be a subjective thing – I think I’ll still give them a try.

        Adamas is ok if you take it as it comes with no expectations. The acting is great, but the story and the directing takes itself too seriously and can get tedious if you get too invested. Just watch it casually and enjoy Ji Sung’s hotness times2.

        Bad & Crazy on the other hand, doesn’t take itself seriously at all. I enjoyed it as light fun action.

    I liked Adamas. Well acted and directed. Bad and Crazy was okay but was more style than story.

      Ooooh, interesting – style over story doesn’t sound like it’s necessarily a bad thing. Ah, then again, it’s a crime drama, right? Some plot is needed 😂

        Ha yes the style over story part wasn’t necessarily bad 😂. I think my main issue was it was pretty obvious who the main villain was early on. Still I’d say it’s worth a try.

    I enjoyed Adamas a lot!

    I haven’t watched many 2022 shows yet, but my recommendations would be:

    Ghost Doctor
    Through the Darkness
    Grid
    Gaus Electronics (just try and completely ignore the first episode)

      Interesting! Grid wasn’t on my radar at all, but it looks quite cool! I was considering Ghost Doctor too. I gave Gaus Electronics one episode and hated it, so your comment might explain why the people who watched it all the way through liked it so much 😂

        That first episode should be completely wiped from history 😂 it was incredibly offputting.
        If you have watched it once then you know who is who and you can continue from episode 2. I can’t recommend people to just skip ep1 because honestly it is crucial in setting up the characters and their relationships.

          If it’s any help/encouragement @frabby, I actually couldn’t finish the first ep, gave up, and started again from ep 2…and I’ve been enjoying it since! Although I find I can’t binge it. It’s the kind of humour where I need breaks.😅

        Yeah, the episode 1 was way too violent and not so funny. But the rest is better!
