    Racket Boys got me out of my slump, hoping it can so the same for you

      I second Mani Chan. Racket Boys is an adorable underrated gem. Do give it a try 🙂

        I noticed that it’s the same writer as Prison Playbook so I’m surprised if not many people are watching. Have you watched Prison Playbook?

          but with racket boys.. its more of falling for characters and tuning in for them..

          story wise it is predictable even at episode level.. so relatively speaking, the “addictive” factor is low.. its more of comfort food than something you wait anxiously to watch

            yea…The first episode was a pleasant watch. I think I typically care more for character-driven shows since I’ve had too many bad experiences with shows being addictive but completely failing at the end. I mean both are fine but you describing it as comfort food is perfect and I think it’s the show I need to end the day.

          Yupp I have watched Prison Playbook. It’s one of my all time favs. I have been considering a rewatch too recently

            For some reason, I thought Hospital Playlist had the same writer but it was the director. What did you think about that one? The writer must be the new rising star. I started on Racket Boys today and already know I’m going to love it.

            I enjoyed Hospital Playlist s1 and am also liking s2 but nowhere near how much I’m enjoying Racket Boys. There are a few hits and few misses in HP for me, but Racket Boys is all hits for me. So glad you are loving it already🧡

      Thanks! I actually read through the MDL comments and found the answer to my question about awkward romance. Did you also find that they blended in the romance successfully?

    Mad For Each Other and Move to Heaven are both very good shorter dramas that, along with Vincenzo, helped me get out of a huge slump.

      Judging you for not recommending ITR.

        OMG

        I’m a terrible person

        In my defense, I was thinking 2021 dramas.

          Into the Ring is a marvelous gem. Highly recommend if you need something to make you smile.

            Thanks! I was going to ask what ITR was. I always use acronyms until I realize not everyone would know what I am talking about.

        haha Too cute. Started on Racket Boys but will look into that one. Have you watched Racket Boys? I just finished the first ep but I’m liking it so far.

      Move To Heaven really is a wonderful little drama.

      Only 10 eps…I may watch Move to Heaven while I watch Racket Boys. Already hooked by reading the plot. Thank you!

    So far my favorite shows of this year have been Mine, Move to Heaven, Hello Me, and Vincenzo!

    My favorite since 2019 is DEFINITELY 2020’s Into the Ring/Memorials, though! 100% recommend for a delightfully quirky, one-of-a-kind drama. Nana is just absolutely fabulous in it.

        I’m not sure if I like the genre for kdramas but I like the actor. But I’ll look into it since it seems that actor typically chooses great scripts.

      That’s 2 for Move to Heaven! I think you’ve always have good taste in dramas, at least from what I remember long ago. Vincenzo is good but now I’m starting back at ep 2 since my memory is poor. What’s weird is that my brother, who used to make fun of Korean dramas, actually enjoyed it and recommended that I watch. It’s sorta what made me want to look for more shows…

      I used to check Dramabeans all the time but none of these names are familiar. 😭 So ITR before Move to Heaven?
