My Ratings:

The shows I share here will only be the ones I like and recommend watching.  I don’t believe in bashing shows because what I don’t like you might love.

I have four rating:

Good – Kept My Interest

Great – I enjoyed it

Loved it – Had me in my feelings

The Best – Made it To My Top Kdrama List

Great – I enjoyed it.

I’m still on my Zo In-sung show binge. In this series he’s the ML who pretends to be a blind woman’s brother.  His plan is to con her out of money, but fate has different plans for him.

The FL is Song Hye-kyo.  She’s a blind woman who has an issue with being blind and wants to die. I liked how they showed her life as a blind woman who has servants to look after her. She and the ML began to build a friendship and it helped them deal with the pain they were feeling inside.

Kiss Points – 7 – Good kisses

(Points: 1 – Surprise Fish Eyes  3 – Sweet Peck  5 – Makes you smile  10 – Makes

Made Me Cry – A couple of times.

Writing Lessons – I couldn’t understand why the FL wanted to die when she seemed to be living her best life. I think the writers didn’t do a good job with explaining why she thought her life was so horrible especially when she reunited with her brother. She still wanted to die.

I learned you don’t want your viewers/readers confused. Try to answer all the questions the viewer might have when it comes to storytelling. 

See You in My 19th Life

Ban Ji-eum, who can remember all her past lives, sets out to reconnect with a lost love from her 18th life, which was cut tragically short.

Review – Great – I enjoyed it.

Ahn Bo-hyun ML in this drama is on my list of new hunks I watch. In this series he loses his first love in a car crash and it traumatizes him. Shin Hye-sun the FL is one of my top favorite actresses.  She plays a woman who can remember her past lives. I like their chemistry and was hoping their relationship survived them figuring out the issues they had in their lives.

Kiss Points – 7 – Good kisses

(Points: 1 – Surprise Fish Eyes  3 – Sweet Peck  5 – Makes you smile  10 – Makes

Made Me Cry – A couple of times.

Writing Lessons – From a writing point of view.  I loved the past lives backstory inside the series.  Each episode gave a little backstory on her past lives and how it helped build who she was. I also like the way they showed the different relationships inside the series especially when they aren’t great ones. The FL had a relationship with her niece and sister but bad ones with her brother and father. The ML had a good relationship with his secretary but not with his father.
