Because This Life is Our First: This one is an anomaly for me. It's rare to have a drama that managed to make me introspective, thinking about what have I done with my life and what will I do with my future, and yet never really hit me in the heart. I understand what the characters had to go through, but I couldn't immediately feel it. Maybe that's why I'm not that disappointed with the ending. After all, I can always remember the rest of those 14 eps fondly and be happy with it.

Two Cops: I know I'm heavily biased because this drama has Jo Jung-seok. But I really enjoyed the premiere. It's fun, fast-paced, full of likable characters, and has good action scenes. For now, the promise of epic bromance between our conman and hot-headed detective is enough to keep me excited for the next eps.

Smart Prison Living: It's still early days, and we haven't met all the key characters yet, but I'm very optimistic for this one.

My current favourite shows have all ended: Witch's court, Because this life is our first and Mad Dog. Currently experiencing withdrawals because of Mad Dog i need something to fill my empty heart

I will always smile when I think of Because its Our First life. It has so much great stuff to recommend it. I also just started Doubtful Victory and I found the Papa Johns ppl harder to get past then any shortcomings in the plot, but within a really short time I was hooked and was surprised at how fast the first 2 episodes felt.

I'm on a pause from all K-Dramas right now. Can't seem to get into the right mood for any, so I'm catching random episode reviews here and there. The second half of 2017 has been a real drama slump T_T

Because This Life is Our First - I hated that they gave all three couples happy ending. For capturing real life very well, it was hard for me to accept that everyone were a couple and live happily ever after at the end. Still, it is one of the best drama in 2017. A-

2D1N - just to pass some time (and since I've been missing them), I'm watching old episodes of season 3, the ones with Kim Joo Hyuk. It's still difficult to understand sometimes why he is not here anymore.

Tribes and Empires: The Storm of Prophecy - long title be damned. The first two episodes are epic in scale. I love it. There is some editing, I find annoying, but overall the first two episodes are something action afficianados look for in this type of drama.

Now that Because This Life Is Our First and Mad Dog have ended, I'm left with:

1. Two cops- Jo Jung-seok and Kim Sun-ho. Need I say more?

2. Doubtful Victory- I'm really enjoying this one. It's got its share of plot holes but I'm willing to overlook it. Wasn't really impressed with the backstory but I hope there's more to it than what we've been given so far.

3. Smart Prison Living- Just saw the first episode today. When I saw Jung Kyung-ho...I knew I found my next guy (after Woo Do Hwan) to swoon over. Lol!
In terms of pacing it's very slow but I like how that allowed us a glimpse of each character and the type of people they are. So far it's funny without being too overboard.

4. Bad Guys- Watching for the first time. Damn...how many times did Park Hae Jin het stabbed? How is he still alive??
I like the mystery surrounding him but overall the show hasn't grabbed my interest enough to binge watch it in one spot. So I'm taking my time with this..

Because this life is our first : It was a great drama. The last two episodes would be better but I was really excepting the Monday/Tuesday to watch it. The casting was great and the story peaceful and lovely.

20 Century.. : I'm not sure about the story, but all the characters were nice and I love their relationship.

Mad Dog : It was a great drama. The writer found a good balance between the villain and the good guys, it made the story very interesting and we wanted to see what will happen in the next episode. The relationship between the characters were nice too, I loved their friendship and how Kim Min Joon blended in this family. BUT I hate to be teased during all a drama about a love story and not see the be materialized >_<

Nothing to Lose : I watch it for the actors more than for the story. I think there are some weird stuff. But it seems the past story is interesting and I already love the chemistry between PEB and YWJ.

Mysterious Il-seung: I like it. It was funny and I like how they presented the story in the past. I'm curious about it.

Black: This drama is a big mess for me but I'm curious about the end.

I watched Two Cops and enjoyed it so far, mainly because of Jo Jung-seok's magic, and "Dimples" Kim Sun-ho as a bonus. I love both of their characters and even though they're polar opposites, judging by their acting capabilities, I'm hoping that we'll get a partnership and bromance that rival Earnest Bot and his King.

I also started Wise Prison Life and found it delightful, if a bit too long (1 hour and 30 minutes per episode!). The characters are grounded, endearing and well acted, ala the previous Reply instalments, but this drama is certainly a lot darker. While Reply 19xx is very heart-warming and despite the occasional moments of danger for the characters, you know that they won't really go there, and it ends up being a twist. But in the prison, there are actual bad people and you genuinely fear for the lives of the main characters.

On a different note, all crappy idol-actors need to be sent to Shin Won-ho PD for some boot camp training session. He managed to get a decent performance out from Krystal. I was surprised that I didn't find her annoying at all. Hyeri definitely benefited from his direction as well, since it was obvious how different Deok-sun (Reply 1988) and Ji-an (Two Cops) come across.

As for Because This Life is Our First's finale, I thought the last conflict in the final stretch felt a bit unnatural and was like "Okay... Do you two really have to go through this?" but it wasn't enough to ruin the drama as it has built a solid goodwill from the earlier episodes. Overall it was still an enjoyable watch.

After several trips away from home recently I seem to be always trying to catch up with current dramas. I started watching The Package for the scenery but found it a lot more interesting than I expected so I stayed with it to the end.
I eagerly caught up with eps 13 and 14 of Because This Life is our First and then dealt with the fallout from watching eps 15 and 16. At least the last two episodes gave us a chance to experience Lee Min-ki's acting range.
I know it wasn't perfect but I've really enjoyed watching Mad Dog. Thank you writer-nim for keeping our family alive to fight another day. That "Hyung"!
From one Mad Dog to another and I've also been catching up with Black. Four episodes to go and I'm still gripped. Crazy Dog had better survive, Show!
Rather than the new shows I've finally started Lookout and Age of Youth. Phew. :)

** Dramas :
Two cops e1-4 : how nice it is to see Jo Jung Seok again 😙 , we got serious and funny version : oh yay 😀 ! Side note : seeing the conman in coma it made me think of Big : don't let another actor lying on a bed : e3-4 it seems like it won't be the case phew 😥

I WISH Nothing to Lose wouldn't have gotten so serious and convoluted in family secrets and more satirical. Park Eun-bi jumping from behind the courtroom desk to get to the disgusting rapist was amazing but heck now it's expecting to be taken seriously. And a good parody on courtroom dramas is what we need after so many uber-dramatic ones.

Because This Is My First Life - done. Love it, hits all the sore spots in me and made me think of marriage in a different way.
Witch's Court - stuck in ep 14 and still not making any progress. Heard it has happy ending, so that's good.
Kim Sun Ho is in Two Cops? He's the one in Strongest Deliveryman isn't he? If that's the case, I'm so gonna have to tune in to the drama. Kinda backing away from it because of Hyeri. I don't want to experience another 'Entertainer' hopefully.

BTLIOF - Still some left from the last episode. I really don't know how I will replace this.
Wise Prison Life - Just finished episode 1, thank a lot Netflix :P Anyway, will wait for Tuesday when episodes 3-4 release to watch episode 2. I really like what I'm seeing for now.
Doubtful Victory - I love this drama. It was a real draw since the beginning, and the leads help a lot.

It's okay, it's love - Just watched episodes 1-4 in 24 hours, but the ending of episode 4 makes me want to run away in a rom-com for a month or 10..

Winner over Flowers - You want to gain like from general public? Just put your idols on a variety. I loved the boys, and of course Na PD's touch made everything great.
Family Outing - Every episode I feel like I'm with them in their outings :) SK did an extremely wrong thing in mistreating Daesung. You'll never find another one like him you dumbheads!! While I enoy him in fancams and japanese shows :D
Knowing Brother episode 103 - I watch KB only with interesting guests lately, but those 2 were so much fun. And finally HeeChul is back to being himself instead of the quiet behaved one when Suju was doing their comeback.
Will be back in 2-3 weeks for the SechsKies episode :) :)

Looking forward to :
Jugglers - Please let this be a good rom-com. And no corruption or whatever floats dramaland lately.
I am not a robot - I'm giving this 4 episodes.

Will probably start later :
Revolutionary Love- It's been 2 months of it saved on my phone.
Untouchable - Goddamn you Jin Goo. I really want to watch a drama of yours.

This week I completed:
Buam-dong Revenge Club: top notch actors, good story, innovative and I enjoy it thoroughly.
Mad Dog: since I've invested too much in haminjoon shipping, I expected more from the finale...
And I just started The Story of A Man. I hope it will be good.

Doubtful Victory : Had a good start. It's not something unsual, but it's nicely done so far. For some reasons I found Yun Kyun-sang's character in this drama and Rebel have some similarities or maybe that's just me lol. This is kind of show that you can depend on the whole team to carry the weight of the drama together.

Two Cops : ackk, I just realized I haven't watched epi 3&4 yet. First two epi was just OK, got some backstory but not invested yet. Maybe after more interactions between Jo Jung-seok's character with Kim Sun-ho's, it would be more interesting. Hyeri is just the same like in Entertainer, even when her scene with Im Se-mi (2nd female lead), ISM has more colourful expressions than her.

Money Flower : Intriguing story and characters. My only issue is I don't really relate how quickly Na Mo-hyun fell in love and agreed to marry Boo-cheon. Seems like she is getting married this week. Also, I'm not sure if Mal-ran already knew the real identity of Pil-joo or Pil-joo managed to fake his DNA. Can't wait to find out. I can understand why Lee Da-hae and Han Chae-ah turned down the female lead role in this drama, and even Park Se-young took some time before confirming. Maybe the character isn't very interesting. I do love Mo-hyun so far because she is just someone we can easily love and root for and I wish for her happiness the most in this drama, but let's hope her character isn't just some clueless and meaningless character. I'm not sure if I want her to go darker or not, but even if she wants to take revenge later, let's hope it isn't just a stupid revenge.

Meloholics : Will catch up epi 7&8 this weekend and next week will be the finale. Sometimes going into any show with no expectation made me enjoy it more.

Nothing To Lose : I'm not dropping you show, maybe not yet
(hopefully not) but you can wait. I'm planning to take time to watch each new episode.

Wise Prison Life : I can wait at least until next week before start on this drama or until I'm sure I don't have to wait for days for eng sub. I'm forever grateful for volunteer subbers.

Untoucheable : Will definitely watch this.

Anyway, waiting patiently for Jugglers next week!

Because This Life is Our First: I am satisfied with the ending of this drama, I really am. However, I just find myself wishing that I were reading a book instead of watching a TV show. I just wanted to feel more for Jiho's case. I feel that if we were reading a book instead, it would have been easier to understand Jiho's actions. Or that we had a couple more episodes in which we could be given a proper explanation -- more books, metaphors, wise words from Mom, etc. -- as to why Jiho did what she did. It felt rash and irrational. I was actually waiting for Sooji or Horang to remind us that Jiho just likes to do crazy things, because that is the only way I could bridge the gap between Jiho on Ep 14 and Jiho on Episode 16. XD I love Se Hee's character so much, and Lee Minki was perfect playing the role. Can we have more of SoMinki please? I am already missing Monday. T__T

Only watching Black now, which I am enjoying very much, btw. Never in a million years I would have thought that I would ship Go Ara and Song Seung Hun...but now I just want to see their characters on a date.
For the rest, I'm a bit on a drama slump. Hopefully the robot drama of Seo Kang Joon will be watchable, because I have a soft spot for him after CITT and look forward to see him in a drama again. Also, I will check the Hong Sisters drama, having LSK in it reminds me of "My girlfriend is a Gumiho" and I would really love to get something with a similar vibe...fingers crossed.

Wow.. The list is getting shorter..

I've only checked out BTLIOF and Buamdong Revenge Club out of 9 dramas premiere in the last month batch. And I decided that Buamdong was more interesting than BTLIOF, so I finished watching Buamdong first. Now that the show has ended and I knew how the last episode ended, I have no interest to continue watching it..

Maybe it's because I had watched the japanese version "We Got Married as a Job" first (and it was wonderful), so BTLIOF premise felt just like 'another drama'..

Our First Life - I loved it from Ep 1 - 16 with some frustrating, mildly disappointing few minutes. Made me love all female characters, dialogues, monologues and the cinematography.

Mad Dog - what a ride it has been..I may complain a lot about some things about this show but I did enjoy.Luckily or not Woo DoHwan and his sizzling chemistry with Ryu Hwayoung saw me through those critical "will I still watch this?" episodes. Oh and I nominate Joo Hyunki as Best 2017 Villain

Witch's Court - thanks to Jung Ryeo won and Yoon Hyun min this drama didn't end up in my "Dropped" dramas list.

Prison Playbook - loved Ep 2 more than Ep 1 but it's really interesting.
my Netflix subscription got useful for Kdramas again but man their subs are so annoying, who switches character names?

Currently enjoying Mysterious Il Seung / Doubtful Victory, a lot 😄 I'm just happy that I've got to watch my fav actor in an enjoyable and exciting show

Preparing to start watching Wise Prison Life (not expecting anything from anyone in the casts, so please surprise me !)

Waiting for I'm not a Robot for lovely Chae Soo Bin and meloman Yoo Seung Ho ☺

Anyone missing sageuk dramas in dramaland right now? there havent been any since Seven Day Queen

This week finished:
- Witch's Court
- Mad Dog

Still watching:
- Temperature of Love
- While You Were Sleeping

I got into watching Kdramas this year and the ones I've watched were really good..
Currently, I'm watching My Love From the Star, School 2017 and Doubtful Victory and I really like these shows so far.. 😊😊

BTLIOF What I liked about this show was that it was different, introspective and very funny at times. The finale wasn't so much of a disappointment maybe because I never loved it the way beanies did. Still, the last episodes left me confused and cold. Nonetheless, it was still a very enjoyable show and offered some interesting perspectives of life, family and relationships.

Witch Court I stopped watching this a few eps ago because too many things bothered and bored me. So I thought I'd just jumped to the last two eps because I don't think I'd miss very much in between. I didn't go very far because when the patrons of Kingdom took the HIV test, I rolled my eyes further than Ma Yi Deum and hit stop.
