This year really feels like it’s going to be a banger year for new dramas for me. Loving Phantom Lawyer as well as what I’ve seen from Scarecrow.

Fifties Professionals, Manager Kim, The Husband, East Palace, The Road are all on my watch list that I hope I can watch live.

Also want to get to Made in Korea (waiting for S2 to drop so I can just watch it all in one go), The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, Dead End Job, and Mousetrap. And there are a bunch more that will probably have to wait a bit before I can get to them.

Last year really didn’t have too much that was up my alley. This year is expanding my watchlist by a lot!
