School 2017
(2017 Viki, 16 1hr eps)

I watched because of the leads - loved him in "Mr. Queen" & her in "Business Proposal." (Seol In Ah from BP was also here). They came through for me!

It’s a high school enemies-to-lovers romance. There are a couple of swoon-worthy encounters, but nothing intense. The story is about corruption within a school & how it affects the students.

There's a cute 2nd couple. The wonderful side characters get their own little stories. These stories add up to seeing how various wealthy & poor parents support their children, whether with money, removing obstacles, self-sacrifice, or cheering them on. The contrast among the side stories is interesting & was touching enough to make me tear up a few times.

The ending was pretty well done & I am generally satisfied with the outcome.

Mr. Queen (2020 - Viki, 20 1hr 15min episodes)

I really didn't know what to expect going into this drama. It turned out to be one of the funniest, sweetest, vicious, and intriguing dramas yet for me. It is hilarious, but I also cried! Shin Hye-sun is so good as a male chef from current times in the Joseon period - I don’t know how she did it, but it was totally believable. I did not like the King at first, but his character really grew on me. The chemistry between the leads is also great. It is such an original story I couldn't begin to guess how everything would resolve. The supporting characters were so good.

One of my favorites of all time! It has great music and beautiful costumes and scenery along with such an interesting story and superb acting.
