I remember watching this, it had some really good aspects… but it felt like the show was dragging on in different ways, which got me to drop it

what episode are you on? I checked my MDL list and saw that I rated it a 7.5. That tells me that there is something better for you to be watching

Anyone who watched Welcome to Samdalri can please tell me if the fl get to take revenge on assistant girl? And is fl gonna cry a lot even after first 3/4 episodes? It's just too much crying

u/duh_leah Melodramatic Unnie Nov 20 '25

There's no revenge until the very last episodes. And yes there's gonna be more crying.

u/MelodyMist7 Nov 20 '25

So I’m watching Dynamite Kiss, and while I wait for episodes each week, I’m watching Crazy Love. And I swear the office space of both SFLs (Baek Soo Young in Crazy Love and Yoo Ha Yeong in Dynamite Kiss) in these dramas is the exact same?

Currently watching My Liberation Notes. After Hometown Cha Cha Cha, it took me 2 months to hop on to another. I feel like every new k-drama I watch has something that breaks me

I feel like its been two years since I’ve had this many good kdramas at the same time.

Weds - Spirit Fingers (Viki) Weds/Thurs - Dynamite Kiss (Netflix) Thurs - Dear X (Viki) Thurs - Moon Rivers (Viki) - my least favorite but it’s okay and enough to kill time

In the meantime, I also watched Genie Make a Wish to kill time and am in the middle of Bon Apetit.

Man I really remember when there was a dry spell of kdramas and only like a few good ones per year here and there. Now I feel grateful but also worried that I’ll get addicted.

My favorite ones right now are Spirit Fingers for the humor, Dynamite Kiss for a rom com, and Dear X just bc it’s thought provoking and the acting is so good

I’m currently watching Uncontrollably Fond and I’m hoping it will tear at my soul. Then, to deepen the hole in my heart even further, I’m going to watch Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, which will probably leave an aching wound on my soul forever. I wonder if I could push it even further?

Watch Possessed, it's heart wrenching.

u/MinuteLocksmith9689 Nov 20 '25

Way back love, for quick wound

I NEED to watch something really really good. Got any recommendations?

u/Odd-Manufacturer2386 Nov 20 '25

Help! I'm on episode 11 of Dinner Mate and I'm getting so irritated with the frustrating ex's. This show has 32 episodes, please tell me they don't drag this out for another dozen episodes and it's worth my while.

I dropped this drama because of the exes...

Currently watching Jinxed At First, Dear X, Monthly Home Magazine. Amazing FL's in all of these. Dear X is the only one that I think has high potential to be a favorite at this point.

Jinxed at First had a cute start but I feel like the story is lacking context for some of what's going on mid-series. Hoping they finish well.

I would completely drop Monthly Home Magazine if it weren't for Jung So-Min. Annoying characters, unbelievable romance between the leads, and now a typical and unnecessary mid-series breakup. I only keep watching to see Jung So-Min.

Dear X is a wild ride and I'm enjoying it. Quite a different character for Kim Yoo-Jung.

I am watching Dynamite Kiss & Moon River, and while I wait for it, what should I watch? It should have comedy listed in the genres.

I just finished The Red Sleeve. 🥺 Has that Scarlet Ryeo vibe for sure. I definitely enjoyed it. I’m on to Legends of the Blue Sea. In 10 episodes and it’s healed my Red Sleeve heartbreak.
