Wow I can't believe that the day has finally come where I am planning to check out all the new releases!!
Drama slump cured finally?

So American shows will start the winter break and Korean channels are debuting very strong dramas, great timing :D

They're all cable dramas. Sigh. Here's hoping that they get subbed or get picked up by Netflix or something.

I never get Noona and much younger man pairing (I dropped What's Up Fox. I'm sorry Chun Jung Myung. I love you, but I can't..), BUT... I have irrational fondness for Song Hye-gyo. So I probably will check it just to watch her then drop it after a half episode.
I feel most excited with Alhambra. I'm not a fan of the actors but I always enjoy the writer's works. I hope Alhambra will live up to my expectation.

I must be one of the few persons but seeing these actors names doesn't automatically mean starting the drama for me.
For now, the synopsis doesn't draw me in, I'll certainely wait for the reviews before watching any of them. .. Or maybe I'll start Memories of the Alhambra? 🤔 The plot seems fresh and original.

Noona romances are my favorite. I'll definitely check out Boyfriend though I'm not convinced I'll be sticking to it. haha

I am excited for this week! I have been in a drama slump for months now...I am going to watch Encounter and MOTA. Encounter looks very pretty and I looove Noona romances and MOTA sounds really original and it is by the writer of Queen in Hyun’s man my favourite drama so..I am feeling optimistic..fingers crossed

I will definitely watch Alhambra, and will give Boyfriend a fair crack for no other reason than PBG's hair from the trailers.

Crossing my fingers that Memories of Alhambra will meet (and hooefully exceed) my wild expectation. Please be a satisfying drama from start to finish.

Well I’m definitely looking forward to all of these. This year of dramas has been a disappointing one I hope at least the year can go off in a bang with the upcoming shows

Definitelly Clean with Passion for Now, I'm already dying from watching their fun press con event ! 😄

I have already picked two other dramas for my weekly plate, so I might skip Boyfriend and Alhambra (as they didn't really give me feelings since the beginning, what's the point of watching a drama if they couldn't make me feel something, anything..)

I would watch all of these...*checks schedule* ugh, still no time. Tell me which one ends up being good, guys! I had forgotten MOA had such a compelling writing/directing team, and it’s probably edged out the other two as a live watch if I can fit it into my life.

I am only for Boyfriend (although that with cleaning looks like also good one!😅)

clean with passion should have followed House helper or House helper should have aired with this one.
Even without considering the high profile actors listed, Memories of Alhambra seems to be those rare good melos that grace drama land once in a while. I could be totally wrong as I have only read the synopsis and seen the stills but there is a sober feeling.
If dramas are good I may turn in actors are not really an attraction.

I'll try Memories of Alhambra since it will be on Netflix. I like the writer, but I always end up frustrated by her dramas so I'm a bit cautious going in.

Not interested in the other two and it doesn't look like they will be subbed legally in the U.S. anyway.

Netflix US picked up MoA, so am definitely watching it.
Others, not interested.

I have to catch up on dramas am watching now. My backlog is too long.

wow high expectations all around for all the dramas premiering this week!

I'm really surprised Viki US doesn't have licensed yet for Boyfriend. That should be a given. Is it too expensive? OR did Netflix bought it but will not air it on same day?

I'll watch Memories of Alhambra, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I would like this to be a legit thriller, where characters end up dying. But since Park Shin Ye is there, then we know it will be romanticized. It's going to have a happy ending.

Also, the writer's previous drama was a mess at the end. So, I'm also being cautious.

Fantasy-Sci Fi is not my normal cup of tea but I am looking forward to Memories of the Alhambra (I love to read the best Sci Fi- but most Sci-Fi for TV is abysmal). I wonder if it will do justice to the wonderful classical guitar piece that it is named after: Francisco Tarrega's "Recuerdos de la Alhambra". The creators of this show set themselves a very high bar to meet when they give it that name. The trailers for this show have certainly been intriguing. And it has two great leads so I am hopeful.

I'm excited I can watch a few of these dramas, but Clean with a Passion is restricted in the US. Which I find aggravating. Now where I watch this stuff legally and without spam pop ups!

Feeling the slump. Not looking forward to Mondays anymore. None of these pique my interest. Rather wait for great reviews before I attempt them. What I really need to do is tackle old dramas instead.

I will definitely be checking out all of these! I love Park Bo Gum (he’s so adorable I can’t) and Yoon Kyung Sang is also just the sweetest. The premise of MoA is interesting so I wanna check it out. I hope this cycle is better than the last! I didn’t finish anything.
