1. When the Camella blooms (2019)
Star: 5/5
This show started with a mistery. Somebody with the germanium bracelet died. It will leave you intrigued of who that person be.
The show starred Gyong Hyo-jin as Dong-baeki. She is a single mom who owns a bar in Ongsan. She is often the talk of the town because of her status.
Kang Ha Neul played as Hwang Yong-shik, a police officer who is the love interest of Dong-baeki.
It's my first time to watch a show with Kang Ha-Neul. I can say that I became a fan. He's amazing. I like how he acts here. According to my research, he won Top Excellence Award here. His facial expressions and the way he acts is so good.
The story line also is good. It's a mix of romantic comedy and thriller. There was some touching parts in the few episodes before ending. It also have some good twists in the story that will make you get hook in watching it.
I will definitely recommend this one. This is one of my favorite Kdrama. I've watched this 3x in just a month. 😉
2. Misaeng: Incomplete Life (2014)
Star: 2/5
This tv show is about office life. The main character, Jang Geu-rae, played by Yim Siwan, was hired as an intern in One International. He was not a graduate of any university so he was the least capable of all the interns. But surprisingly, he passed the final presentation and was hired as a temporary worker. The series focused on his life at the office.
To be honest, I found it boring. It has 20 episodes, and I only enjoyed the last 3 episodes to be good. The reason why I watched this is because I missed Kang Ha Neul. He was here as an intern then a newbie in the office.
But the last 2 episodes made me crave for more of Geu-rae's story. The story ended well though.
One of the newbie that was there Ahn, Young-yi, played by Kang Sora, was also in the Korean movie "Sunny". It was one of my favorite K movie ever. I just didn't recognized her here.
Also, Geu-rae's supervisor, Kim Dong-shik, was played by Kim, Daemyung of the Hospital Playlist. He was the OB Gyne doctor there. His character in Misaeng and in Hospital Playlist are very different and I can say that he is very flexible in his role.
Generally, I just can't relate because I'm not working in a corporate world. But there are parts of the story where I laugh with them and cried with them. If you like stories about the corporate world, then give this a try.

Star: 3/5
This is the first Tv show that I watched with Lee Minho. He is very famous in the Philippines so I thought I'll give him a try.
The story line is fine with me. I'm not a very fan of it. I think it's because I can't relate to it. I'm not part of the 1% rich people 😜 or wasnt even involved on that kind of dilemma. It's very light hearted though and has a cute love story. It has some struggles but it was resolved well at the end.
This show is also star-studed. It was led by Lee Min ho, Park Shin hye and Kim Woonin. Also, Kang Ha Neul is there as a supporting actor.
4. Tunnel (2017)
Star: 4/5
This is a thriller korean drama. This is about a detective (Park Gwang Ho played by Choi Jin Hyuk) who is taking a lead in a serial homicide case. When he passed through the tunnel while chasing the criminal, he will travel through time. The first time he time traveled, he was brought to the future and met another detective who is somehow connected to his past.
Well, to be honest, I like the concept and the story. Every episode is very thrilling. I just don't like the idea of looking at the dead bodies on some episodes.
Also, I think they were able to reconcile the end of the story to the whole story itself. Although, I have some questions in mind. One question in my mind is why he is time traveling through the tunnel when he is chasing the suspect? It was
not explained in the show.
Also, I would love to see a changed future when he was able to change the past.
Overall, I like the story and will definitely recommend this if you love thriller shows.
5. Tomorrow with you (2017)
Star: 4/5
This Kdrama was suggested by my sister. I was able to watch this one before it was pulled out from Netflix.
It was about Yoo So-joon (Lee Je hoon) and how he can travel and see the future. He rides on the subway, and he can go to the future and with whatever changes he made on his life, it also changes his future.
He marries Song Marin (Shin Mina) to changed his future. But their life is actually intertwined because of some subway accidents that happened few years back.
Well, I can say that the story is cute. I even asked my husband to watch this with me and even likes it. I like the twist of the story as well. It's not so stressful to watch 😁
Which of these shows have you watched already? Did you like them as well?
