I’ve literally not seen a Kdrama or any movie in almost a month, you all won’t believe it lmao. I took a break from watching movies in general because I’m tired, not tired per se but I felt I needed a break.
Hopefully, I’ll be back soon because so many good series are in the works and I need to be prepared to watch them but before that, let me recommend a few to watch.
Omitting Alchemy of Souls because I doubt if there’s any Nigerian that hasn’t seen it but if you’ve not, you should! It’s a good one. S2 will be out in December.
LITTLE WOMEN
This is literally one of the best Kdrama released this year. The suspense, the sisterhood, the family drama, the secrets, the investigation, the humor. It literally has everything a suspense-thriller-filled Kdrama should have. At first, when I saw the trailer, I assumed it would be one of those fun, exciting storylines of the bond of three sisters until I watched the first two episodes lol. It screams drama and suspense. I knew it was something I’ll have to watch after they’re done airing because right now? I have enough drama in my life and do not need a tv one. You should watch it though, it is really good. One thing about KIM GO-EUN dramas? She doesn’t disappoint. Add it to your list if you’re like me that prefer to wait until they’re done releasing all episodes. Available on Netflix
Narco Saints
This series is based on a true story. I enjoyed watching this and although it was slow at the beginning, I was patient enough to watch till the 3rd episode when the drama finally began. It’s a 6 episode drama and all episodes have been released on Netflix. Basically, the whole plot feels like a Mexican/drug cartel kinda movie. Dealings with drugs, wrongly imprisoned, CIA involvement, undercover work, and all that. I actually learned a bit of history from the series lmao. It’s a good watch. Rating it an 8/10 because everything was on point. The action, drug dealings, betrayers, and hustle for money lol. One thing about me? I’ll watch any drama that has PARK HAE SOO (the man from the squid game drama) in it. Available on Netflix
BIG MOUTH
If you’ve not seen big mouth then what the hell are you doing? Lmao… Or you’re like me that saw the first four episodes and took a step back because of the DRAMA in it. Big Mouth just ended and it was the talk on “socio-medium” lol. Everyone was raving about it and that made me enjoy the spoilers more than the movie itself. Big mouth was Lee Jong-Suk's comeback drama after his return from the military and one thing he knows how to do is pick a good script. Like he always delivers! It’s an action-packed drama that’s also filled with intellect and suspense. “WHO IS BIG MOUSE? The famous con man in the country. No one has seen him but for some reason, an incompetent lawyer gets dragged into a murder case and lands in prison, now he has been framed as the big mouse. How will he get himself out?” Trust me, this is a good one. I enjoyed watching it from all the spoilers and theories I got from TikTok and Twitter lmao. Rating it a 7/10. Available on Dramacool
MY LIBERATION NOTES
This is my drama! I loved it from the first episode. Although most people didn’t like it because it was slow and sad, I did because I could relate to the characters so much. In a world where extroverts live their life in a happy way like they have no worries even though life is depressing, introverts accept that life is depressing and live that way. No faking smile, no struggle to be socially acceptable. Just living life like the sad, depressed humans they are lol. I cried so many times while watching it because most of the time, it’s okay to just feel those feelings and not want to associate with anything or anyone. I enjoyed the romance so much, their chemistry was so good. A countryside girl asking a rich dangerous man to fall in love with her, oh the boldness! Available on Netflix
LINK: EAT, LOVE, DIE
Watch this if you enjoy watching dramas about serial killers. It has a little bit of supernatural plot in it and the romance is kinda giving and also not-giving. Basically, “his sister was kidnapped when they were younger and it’s been 18+ years yet no one has found the killer or her body. The whole community looks suspicious. Now he is back in the city and is determined to find who is responsible for his sister’s disappearance and where her body was buried.” The plot alone gives you an idea of what the drama is going to be about. Oh, he can also feel every emotion the sister is feeling, he couldn’t feel it again after she was kidnapped and he knew she was gone until years later… There are lots of loopholes in the drama but it’s still good. You get to see how evil humans are, especially adults to kids. Also, the romance in the drama was not needed. Available on Dramacool
Cafe Minamdang
It’s basically an investigative drama with a touch of romance and deep comedy. The comedy kept me hooked on the drama. It’s like your everyday “who killed who” kinda storyline but it’s funny. “A detective disguises himself as a fake shaman while he gains money from the shaman business and investigates the murder of his best friend.” P.s… the female lead is really really annoying so watch out. Available on Netflix
Few heartwarming dramas you can watch if you need something warm, calm, and drama-free.
From now, Showtime

And then for the extras you mentioned, I’m currently watching from now, showtime. It’s okay so far. For the rest, I haven’t watched them but I’ll try to. Tbh, I’m lacking behind on kdramas. 15 yr old me would be so disappointed 😭😂😂
