My Lovely Boxer and King the Land were my favorites of 2023.

 

Heartbeat would've made my favorites list if not for the ending. 

 

My Lovely Boxer is added in my watchlist Chingu! 

 

Heartbeat well, I think it could be one of the most disappointing dramas for me in 2023. That ending, nah, I mean how can you call a drama rom-com with that sort of ending. That drama had a lot of potential and they wasted it all

You know what, I watched the first episodes of this drama. But like @agenth chingu I got stuck on a small detail that annoyed me.

If she was 15 years on that island, how could her teeth look so perfect after all that time? Without tooth brushes, tooth paste, dentists, deep cleaning, etc.?

 

 

Interestingly Noona, this time @agenth Chingu didn't really pay much attention to the small details and loved the drama 

 

But yeah, I mean I had to throw away the logic and thoughts and everything related to her stay in the island for 15 years. Overall, I liked the drama, but surely that 15 years stay didn't make sense based on the points you have already mentioned.

@agenth chingu is always full of surprises.... We never know what she will get annoyed with when she's watching a drama.

The Perfect Marriage Revenge was a good drama. Good kickass revenge. Better than Glory 2. I still would watch another instalment of Glory. It started on such a promising note. It was disappointing the way it ended.

It's the worst when shows do that. Switching genres midway always feels like such an FU from the writers and whoever else okays it. Everything about Heartbeat's promotion was that it was supposed to be silly and romantic and by the end... it wasn't any of those things. 

 

 

 

what was it then? thriller?

inquiring minds want to know!

The Glory and The K2 are the only two dramas where the script should have been changed. 

 

i totally agree!

 

the actual pairings made no sense, or had way less chemistry...

Most definitely My Lovely Boxer!!!  Not part of the poll.. but Why???

 

But anyway..one of.. if not the best drama of 2023. If you haven't seen it... what are you watching then?

 

Lee Sang Yeob and  Kon So Hye  - not familiar with her and first time watching her.. but  def. one to watch good acting! LSY .shows us good actors are always not not hallyu stars

 

I have added "My Lovely Boxer" in my watchlist. When this drama started, I was already too much into drama slump that I wasn't really interested to check out a drama which I am unsure of. 

 

But yes, Lee Sang Yeob is a very good and underrated actor. But its really good to see him getting lead roles now, and I hope he will get the recognition he deserves so that we get to see him more good dramas

How about we have polls for:

1) best dramas 2000-2012

3) best dramas 2013-2024

 

Then the winners of both polls go up against each other in a third poll?

 

Sounds interesting to me!

She might get annoyed on the smallest of things in a drama, and then ignores the biggest of the things in another one

You didn't finish it yet? 

 

Well, I mean yes, the Master's son was a lot better, and seemed to have improved a bit I guess.

It surely started off very well, and had somehow a fresh concept of plot for vampires and everything. But then like you said, somehow the writers decided to change stuff, and things went the way they shouldn't have. I mean I dropped it, but still was very disappointed by that ending

Plus @agenth chingu changes her mind so quickly I can't even finish pronouncing "oppa".

 

In one drama she will hate on an actor and complain about him non-stop. Fast forward one year later and she will love him in another drama and make him her oppa.

 

 

We do love our EO chingu

Chingus, last chance to vote....! Pali before the poll closes!
