Boys Over Flowers
(2009 Viki, 25 1:05 eps)

The popularity of "Boys Over Flowers" helped ignite the K-Wave & it became a cultural phenomenon. Looking back at it, even with all the tropes, the terrible portrayal of women, lack of character development, plot holes, & noble idiots, I *loved* it. I binged the last part of the series.

A spunky, poor girl ends up involved with 4 rich & handsome guys. Due to this, her life becomes awful. It has some great characters to hate & love. The biggest problems with the story is that you don't find out the reasons the boys act the way they do until well into the series.

In the end, some side characters just disappear & there was too much forgiveness for the villainous characters. Yet, I will most likely rewatch this at some point because it was so fun!

Kiss Goblin
(2020 Viki, 12 12 min eps)

What an unusual format! In looking for somehting light to counteract the last episodes of another drama, I came across this. The ML was the 3rd ML in "My Roommate is a Gumiho," & I liked him there.

It is a story about a goblin trying to become human. Intersting because I am also watching "the" Goblin with a watch party. It's fun to see how supernatural magic works in different worlds. In this show, the Goblin has to kiss 10 different people to acquire human emotions. Seeing how the Goblin handles each new emotion is fun, heartwarming, & surprising.

The actors are good & attractive, & the story is nicely done. Even in this extremely short format, they conveyed the "feels." It is so cute & completely bingeable. Nothing ground-breaking, but this will be a comfort show I can return to.
