I dropped Love Next Door pretty fast because everything about it, especially the writing, felt very awkward to me, but I absolutely loved No Gain No Love (especially the secondary couple and the female lead) and Judge From Hell (another great female lead). I'm out of dramas to watch now so back to being obsessed with webtoons haha

It's a shame about "Love Next Door" because it started off well. "No Gain, No Love" really surprised me. I loved the secondary couple, too! 😄 They're just so chaotic. Watching the spin-off before diving back in to the last two episodes of "No Gain, No Love" was perfect.

I'm actually going slowly on kdramas, too. 😅 Here's to hoping some of them that I plan on watching will be good ones!

You read webtoons, too? 🙂 Same! What are you currently reading?

The spin-off was so funny! I appreciate them making an isekai spin-off. Actually, her character is what inspired me to try serialized fiction writing again haha.

I caught up to a bunch of Webtoons now! I recommend A Martial Master Wakes Up as a Concubine (the female lead is hilarious), Daily JoJo (same creator as Yumi's Cells but I actually like this one better), Villain with a Crush, and Seasons of Lovesome (the continuation of Seasons of Blossom).

I did get started on reading the first one of "How to Write a K-Drama" and I'm interested! I'll read the rest and the second chapter as well.

You read multiple webtoons, too? That's great. 😁 Nothing like webtoons to strike inspiration in writing. 😉 Thank you for the recommendations. I'll check them out. Happy reading!

I was disappointed by the final episode but the overall drama was so good! I'd rewatch it

Ohhh... I haven't watched the final episode yet. Although I've seen comments in other platforms saying the same thing about the ending. 🙈 I think Park Shin Hye was really great in this kdrama. 🙂

Yes, I'll share my thoughts on the final episode. 🙂 I was surprised (in a good way) with Park Shin Hye here. I've only ever seen her in romcoms. I'd love to see her more in roles similar to her character in "The Judge from Hell."
