"The charm of youth is never about getting what you want but about every unexpected tomorrow and every person you meet by chance" - When I fly towards you (2023)
“Nothing lasts forever. Everything is momentary. They all flow away. And that’s not always a bad thing.” - Twenty-five Twenty-one (2022)
Youth dramas always leave a deep impression specially when you are in your mid 20s and even early 30s. I think we tend to enjoy and feel nostalgic about things we probably never enjoyed in our youth. But we surely have been through that phase right? Some are already matured , some are too casual , some extremely emotional and some too carefree. It all wraps around the fact that youth is the best time of your life when you unapologetically learn and experience the best moments in life. Starting from 2521 to When I fly towards you and now Twinkling watermelon - the best part about youth dramas is that they flow they teach you touch you and then just create magic!! 🪄

Okay, so I JUST finished Season 3 of Leverage- but I have to rewatch Season 3 (my mom wants to watch the season with me- I got way too excited and I couldn't wait to watch it.) Anyway, I'm rewatching Season 1 episode 1- (just because.)
Anyway- after watching them grow with each other- going back and hearing them not wanting to work together is hilarious.
Like when the bomb went off; who went out first? Parker, Hardison, and Eliot.
When Hardison tripped? Eliot pulled him up.
In the hospital? They kept Eliot in the same room as Nate. They had Hardison and Parker share a same room.
When they went and collected Sophie; All their expressions were accurate and haven't changed.
It was suppose to be a one and done. Walk away. Clean their hands of each other.
But their bad guys and sometimes bad guys are sometimes the only good guys.
They can't walk away.

Fav 2022 K-Dramas/Movies
1. My Liberation Notes
About: Three siblings, exhausted by the monotony of day to day adulthood, seek to find fulfillment and freedom from their unremarkable lives
Honestly, no one did it like My Liberation Notes. The way they captured the mundane lives of adults, the longing for happiness, freedom, and the loneliness of it all. The way they depicted all that through raw lines, monologues, and even silence that gave even deeper meanings. To say I love this show is an understatement 🥺
2. Extraordinary Attorney Woo
About: Woo Young Woo, a woman on the spectrum that tackles challenges as a newbie at a top law firm
This show is popular for a reason. It has everything you could ask for in a kdrama: feel good vibes, heartwarming stories, heart-fluttering love, found family, and interesting characters (with brilliant acting). Although we couldn't expect Woo Young Woo to be representative for all people with autism (since autism is considered as a spectrum), but I love the way her portrayal in this show was educative while also really fun to watch 🤍
3. Twenty Five Twenty One
About: In a time where dreams seem out of reach, a teen fencer pursues her ambitions and meets a hardworking young man who seeks to rebuilds his life.
Couldn't express how much it's comforting to watch the two main characters build connection in the pursuit of happiness. The fact that these two people share different perspectives in life (one was hopeful & optimistic, while the other one was realistic) was its charm. Not to mention the growing bond of the friendship between them and their friends. Together, they make every scene seemed refreshing and entertaining to watch. It was truly an uplifting youth show that brightened last year's atmosphere ✨
4. Alchemy of Souls
About: A powerful sorceress in a blind woman's body encounters a man from a prestigious family, who wants her help to change his destiny.
Love, love the world building of this one! Also, the gripping love stories that took "I'll love every version of you" seriously 🥺. It was captivating how observant every characters in this show were & the way they unfold the stories. Even the action scenes portrayed like an art. Therefore, even though it has many episodes with long duration, I wasn't bored at all.
5. Little Women
About: Three sisters become embroiled in a major incident and face off against the wealthiest family in the nation
The fact that two of my fave actresses (Nam jihyun & Kim goeun) casted in one kdrama was such a dream!! It's a women centric kdrama i could say, from the way the main characters, writer, & director are all women <3. I love that it has such morally grey characters and a story that's full of intriguing misteries. It kept me on the edge of my seat.
6. 20th Century Girl
About: A teen girl has her eyes set on a boy for her lovesick best friend. However, things become complicated when she falls in love and is forced to choose between love and friendship
A heartening youth stories that every fan of 2521 should watch! Again, the plot seemed cliche but it still managed to enthralled you with sweet & fun interactions between the main characters, their growing romance, and what comes for them in the future. It was a rollercoaster of emotion but I really enjoyed it to end <3
7. Business Proposal
About: Hari, a regular employee, shows up to a blind date in disguise of her rich friend to scare him away. Things go awry when he turns out to be her CEO and makes a proposal.
Normally, a kdrama with a cliche plot and some cringe lines wasn't my piece of cake. But Business Proposal is something else I guess. It managed to make even the cliche plot entertaining to watch, still. I didn't expect that I'd laugh this much while watching this show, but I did. Their actings were so fun to watch and it's such a light kdrama that i enjoyed to watch.
Addition: Fav K-Drama (Not Released in 2022) that I've Watched Last Year
Prison Playbook
About: a legendary Korean baseball player whose life change after he chases a man who harasses his sister and finds himself spending a year in prison.
This is such a gem for a slice of life genre! From the director of Hospital Playlist & Reply series, you could expect some heartwarming feels coming from every characters' background stories. Despite the serious & harsh life we could thought of from prison life, this kdrama have many comical scenes, a series of roommates bickering, & such a moving found family. I wish the director would make more of these 🥺🤍
K-Drama Recommendations: 8/?
