I have only watched Beyond the Bar and Bon Appétit, Your Majesty—8 episodes and 2 episodes so far, respectively. I have a feeling Bon Appétit is going to be better than Beyond the Bar, but it has only just started, and it's too early to give a verdict. So, I voted for Beyond the Bar. I was not happy with the pacing and storytelling in episodes 7 and 8, but episodes 4 and 5 have been exceptional... just from my perspective. And my perspective does not always align with the majority of the viewers.

I also thought there was a bit of a drop for episodes 7 and 8 of BTB, but for me it felt rather like they rushed a bit through things which can happen în these shorter dramas. Still enjoyable though, and the only one I watched this period so goana vote for it

i'm more so leaning towards BAYM at the moment and also thought the same about the outcome of the dramas. although far too early to predict (not to mention that i've not started either too) but i also like leaning towards dramas with a bit more buzz because i like being able to have more people to talk to about the drama :')

also wanted to mention that the poll is multiple choice so you can pick more than one!

Oh I didn't know we could vote for more than one. Bon Appétit Your Majesty got off to a very strong start in my opinion, although I had to try really hard not to compare it to Mr Queen. I still ended up comparing a few things to Mr Queen. Yoon-a really shines through with her vibrant energy and sharp wit although I found her comedic timing not on par with Shin Hye-sun's. Lee Chae-min's portrayal of a tyrant king is so different from his previous roles. But there is a palpable chemistry between the two leads. (I don't care about the age difference.) In short, every moment in the first two episodes kept me hooked on. I hope the rest of the drama remains the same. Twelve is not the type of genre I would normally watch. I don't know if I ever will. I am not sure about Aema. I may give it a shot some time in future.

Haven’t watched any of these yet so no idea what to vote for ahah, but you are soo right.. Idk but lately the K Dramas have been so meh mostly. I legit keep rewatching Our Unwritten Soul or Melo Movie lol. Also If I remember correctly, we should have some good options in September (Hopefully they don’t disappoint and turn out to be duds lol)

You’re right, Kdramas have been a bit underwhelming this year. I’ve been watching Japanese dramas I had put on hold, and it’s definitely worth it. I really love the cinematography in Jdramas.

kdramas have been lacking which is why ive been obsessed with cdrama lately (Journey to you, The Legend of Shen Li, the double, and Blossom were good). If you need an underrated kdrama with a new storyline and captivating character i will recommend Arthdal Chronicles. I have never seen any other kdrama come close to it's creativity. I haven't seen any of the dramas on this list but i heard twelve and BAYM is good

Sakura

Have you watched Trigger? I really enjoyed it.

hannah

girl the dramas this year are not it spare a good few, c-dramas have been where its at for sure. I will say tho I've been LOVING The Winning Try on Netflix, it's a rugby/sport k-drama and I've been SAT for those 2 episodes per week loll, I only started watching it because of yohan from x1/wei but it's giving everything it needs to give, def recommend!

moyyrah

i was eyeing that drama but hadn’t heard much about it🥲

hannah

right???? It’s been flying so under the radar for some reason, maybe because the romances aren’t the main focus? I feel like that can be the case sometimes idk. but honestly it’s worth the watch, even if you don’t react to it :)

I have been watching My Lovely Journey on Viki. It stars the male lead from the Judge from Hell and the actress Gong Seung Yeon who was in Karma. So far it has been excellent, in my opinion.

Sakura

I hope you consider watching it. There are only 10 episodes. The storyline itself is not complicated but in my opinion, it does have a deep and meaningful message. 😁

Sakura

I haven't watched Journey to you and The Legend of Shen Li but I heard good reviews of them. I really enjoyed The Double and Blossom as well as Destined. Have you watched Destined?

SB

Hi! Love your reactions btw, just wanted to drop by and ask if you would want to watch One: High School Heroes in future? It's not in Netflix but it's a really good kdrama

Lauren Freeman

I love the cdrama content you are watching. I don't see too many people react to them often, but they are really doing it WAYYYYYYYYYYYY more for me this year. I have a TON of incredible suggestions but I only recommend incredible romances with happily ever afters and I don't want to dump a ton on you unless you are hoping to dig into them more. Also, once you crack the code on chinese costume dramas you are in for a TREATTTT.

Lauren Freeman

Blossom is my personal favorite of ALL TIME. GOD. I need to find a reactor who watched it lol.
