Love Next Door had all the ingredients of a perfect rom-com drama — popular and talented lead actors, friends-to-lovers trope, two sets of OTP, a slice-of-life vibe, the writer of Hometown Cha Cha Cha. Alas, the drama fails to give us a delicious dish. It does have some delightful moments but the show hooks us only in parts. Continue reading →

A procedural kdrama is not my most favorite category but I do watch them at times and even enjoy such series sometimes. The Auditors belongs to such bracket. It delves into the world of corporate auditing. It is led by a strong cast and is a fun, fast-paced entertainer. Continue reading →

It clicks all the right buttons of a rom-com and reminds us of the classic 2000s Korean dramas that made us fall in love with them. The greatest love stories are the ones that make you root for the protagonists to come together, despite their destinies. And Lovely Runner is one of those. Continue reading →

Marry My Husband is a truly entertaining show. There is never a dull moment — but it also becomes tiring towards the tail end because of it. Although — kudos for juxtaposing over-the-top scenarios with quiet, introspective moments. Continue reading →
