Romanticizing a literal stalker is a hard pass for me. Flat performances and a plot full of holes.

Loved the clerk's shock when he actually agreed to buy the diamond shoes lol

This is easily one of the better short dramas out there. The acting is way less cringe and the storyline isn't a copy of every other one made.

Yeoreum and Bada, childhood friends of 20 years. A dizzying, cheeky little love story about two people walking the line between friends and lovers. Watching it gives you butterflies for no reason and also makes you spiral about how, if you date and break up, you can't even go back to being friends. The kiss on the swing was great, both leads are gorgeous, so I had fun. Recommend it to anyone who loves that delicate friends-to-lovers gray zone.

Solid plotting since it's based on a novel, but a little bland — the male lead's abs, though? Nice 💀

The ending left a weird aftertaste, though.

Easily one of my all-time top 10 short dramas.

Handsome Jin Ju-hyung is in this~ Pale skin, and boy does he deliver a good kiss. It's got all the stuff you see constantly in Chinese short dramas — grandma's hospital bills, contract marriage, the swapped fiancé, meeting as boss-and-secretary and falling in love~ Seen it all before, but I watched for Jin Ju-hyung~ Total time-warp of a drama~ so much fun ^^

A steamy night with your dad's best friend? The title alone had me like... And he's 20 years older, so, uh, really? Our lead Hae-na gets burned by her boyfriend's betrayal, falls for an older man she meets by chance, then bam, turns out he's her father's best friend and the drama kicks off. The older-man/younger-woman angle plus the forbidden family taboo builds some tension, but honestly it didn't quite deliver on what I was hoping for. A bit of a letdown.

The title alone makes you go "okay, but what exactly do they only do on this island?"~ And yeah, I got my answer. Blew through the whole thing the second it dropped. A young shaman, an evil spirit, and souls, subject matter you just won't find in Chinese short dramas, which makes it even more fun.

Kim Han-young in a BL?? Wild. Honestly the acting was SO cringe I nearly bailed, but I toughed it out. There's a twist they saved up but it wasn't as fun as I hoped, kinda a letdown. Still — Kim Han-young doing BL? More shocking than I expected!!!

Title's "Sexy Marriage"~ already sold from the name alone. Comes in hot with a bold setup from episode one, and the leads have that bickering will-they-won't-they chemistry. A breezy grown-up comedy you can just kick back with. Lead reminds me of Chinese actress Cho Mo-an. Candy Kiss the kiss scenes in eps 27, 29, 35, 50, and 51 are worth it.

Cohabiting vs. marriage, two clashing worldviews. Two people carrying totally different wounds. I only pressed play because it was short, but the immersion and the quality are no joke. Best recent Korean short drama I've seen~ recommend, recommend!!!

A short drama like THIS exists?? Once the guy realizes he's a character inside a novel it gets SO good. This stars Zhang Ji-jun and Wang Ge-ge and I loved it the first time, so running into it again is even more of a treat. This one's hilarious and a blast.

I'd love to meet the director. Not to shake their hand, though.

Let's just not import stuff like this to Korea... it's not that the story's bad, it just feels kind of off-putting?

The comedy of her getting ALL her sneaky little schemes and money-grubbing daydreams exposed is KILLING me lol 😂 It's 98 episodes but I binged the whole thing at 1x speed with zero fast-forwarding. Chemistry + episodes + acting, this rom-com nailed everything!
