from latest watched to oldest watched. as you may be able to tell, i do not watch dramas often; i only began in 2020. this is because my attention span abhors me. i do have a lengthy plan-to-watch list and a friend who actively persuades me (in fact, a good chunk of these are her recommendations), so i will hopefully be able to get my game on in the near future. i only list the ones i have finished every episode of—assume for every season, unless stated otherwise. the ratings may seem cruel, but my system is just quite lenient on its own: anything around 7 is a solid 'good', an 8 is a 'great', and a 9 or above is a piece of art.

    • date finished: 210308
  • notes: if i had the time in my life, i would watch this over and over again and try to strip every scene raw. there is so much here, so much to be taken apart and dissected.
• convenience store fling (2021)
  • 7.5/10
    • date finished: 210227
  • notes: corny ass... but it was cute. i can't pretend that i didn't only watch this because of my k-pop boys, but i stuck through for a reason! (the reason being that i was more in love with jooah than any of the four of them.) realistically, donghyun deserved her; he was nothing but sweet. i get it, subin was hot, and that is precisely why he should've been reserved for me instead.

• love revolution (2020)
  • 8/10
    • date finished: 201230
  • notes: yes, i had the hapless misfortune of letting my k-drama virginity being taken by love revolution, all for the sake of jihoon and younghoon and dayoung and chaerin. i have also let it brainwash me into unironically being fond of it. it's so fucking idiotic in the most endearing way possible. in my original words: this show is stupid. i KNOW, and i ENJOY it.
