This pole will be closed at 9 AM tomorrow eastern time . The two winners will go against each other based on the results I’m seeing right now.

There Could possibly be a 3rd round Poll depending on how clear or NOT clear the results are.

You can only choose one show

Please respect that there is no reason to comment suggestions here after a while its too much to read it fills inbox i never get to them lol.

As always I ask for suggestions when a show is ending.

IT IS APPRROPIATE TO LEAVE CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK AND OPINIONS

In regards to Sweethome...i asked about it last week.....forgot...yesterday i asked for feedback on this list of shows and i didn't see anyone talk about it. I made a poll and then i saw it mentioned.....So its not on any poll at this time...If i hear the season is good...It will be reacted to....

It seems it lost steam with viewers....Personally i can always watch things on my own that viewers are not to hype about...
I can only react to so much things...i understand we did 2 seasons....i get it...but goal is to react to shows that satisfiy the most amount of people....and watch whatever folks don't care about on my own lol..,.

I watch that Starwars show that everyone complained about on twitter..and i watch it in peace...lol...its good for me...

I am a simple guy

Marvelous JJ

While You Were Sleeping - for sure.

Mani✨

RockLee do you really not mind watching dramas back to back where you have the same main leads? I personally feel like it brakes the inclusion for me. lol I always need to have at least 2 buffers in between shows with the same leads.

justbrowsing

What's Wrong with Secretary Kim has the actress you love from Marry My Husband, and is an interesting office romantic comedy, with some harder hitting stories. The female lead is strong and interesting, and I think you all will really like her -- plus the chemistry between the leads is legendary!

Geewonie

While you were sleeping! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

Hello Mani, we ran a poll and went off suggestions...I don't actually know who the actors are in this list. In most cases, i wouldn't know.

Sal

Hometown Cha Cha Cha ❤️🙌🏾

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

But to answer your question, yes i do prefer brakes after 2... so i am assuming Kim Ji won is in one of these...2 back to back is reasonable...i wouldn't purposely go for 3 back to back...that being said...i only recognize like 3 names and thats Kim Ji won, Kim Sejeong, and The homie from Strangs from hell and Mr Queen's actress but not from memory lol....i have to see it to remember

Jay L

2521 let's go! idk if its bias winning over for the actors in it but I literally love so many of the characters its stupid. It's very much a coming of age show, and I love the acting, the plot, the overall story it tells. Just, I enjoyed all of it so much.

Mani✨

I was referring to Park Seojun being in one of these. Main lead from Itaewon Class and Fight My Way

A

I actually haven't watched any of these shows, but I'm going with WWWSK for Park Min Young/Marry My Husband main character. It sounds like kind of a basic rom-com, but I think she really brings something special to all her roles. Shin Min Ah (Hometown Cha Cha Cha leading lady) also has a lot of charm!

BigCity

Alright fam we have to rise up for 2521. I KNOW Lee fam will love the show ! It’s basically an anime KDRAMA

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

Ohhhhhh. Yeah I typically do not remember his name and we had a breakthrough Mr. Queen and lovely runner. So we are not watching him back to back

Snax

wyws aint ever winning with this crowd

Brooklynn Turner

I personally like WWWSK but didn’t really remember too much of the story apart from their dynamic. I really think they would love While You Were Sleeping, because of the cases and sci-go angle. Hopefully next time🥰🤞🏾🥹

Venus

havent seen any of these

Thamor

I am only interested as it seems it will win and I haven't seen the show so will be nice to watch new show with their reactions.

@MY_Peak

2521 is by faaarrr the funniest yet deep and captivating K-Drama out there…watched it like 3 times…I will ride for that series 😭😭😭

@MY_Peak

They would love it, it’s so funny and suspenseful and perfect 😭

tanasia

25 21 please 😭

KirbyLover

Let’s go!!! Hometown cha cha cha!!😭😭

Adlen

I’ll just say this everyone, let try and what a newish show… WWWSK can wait 2521 is goood come yall

Adlen

Also I feel that WWWSK is similar to Strong Girl Bong-soon

aifa

2521 still has a chokehold on me I really hope it'll make it

Norkis Massiel

I hope Hotel del Luna wins, cause as much as I love cliches like What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, I love UI’s character here and it’s an interesting plot. I’m hoping is either Hotel del Luna or Hometown cha cha cha.

wjdrnrxoxo

Secretary Kim.. its fun but cliche romcom... Rather Hotel DeLuna or 2521..

Himani Tokhi

I know everyone wants their favourite drama to be choosen but it can not happen everytime where the people votes goes maximum it will win. I also want so many shows to enjoy with you guys but what majority says everyone respect that I think eventually someday their show will definitely get picked😁 if they keep the buzz on about it. You can't make everyone happy. Secretary kim 😍 I am excited for this one....

Patrick Rukundo

Hometown cha cha, really deserves more love

Ash Jamil

Me with healer still🧍🏻‍♀️ LOL

Sallie Andrea

I wish people picked 25/21 and hotel de Luna 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

jake

I think what's wrong with Secretary Kim is similar to a business proposal

Geewonie

everything else, except WWWSK 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻 it's too cliche

joseph lanzas

I just wanted to make a suggestion, I think you guys haven't reacted to Chinese dramas, and last year "Hidden Love" and "When I Fly Toward You" were very good, so I hope you can watch any of them, both are on Netflix.

dreamiezen

I see more comments about how they want any other drama except WWWSK to win but less from the ones who voted for it 😭 they're hiding

JEBY 4 LYFE

It's similar to every cliche rom com kdrama the hype for this show is all about the main actors

Ken Molinaro

After seeing What's Wrong with Secretary Kim the first time, I binged everything I could find with Park Min-young. She's great.

koma

Im not mad at wwwsk but I ain't happy with it either. Are they going to like it ? Probably, and I say that because I know how much our boys love toxicity lmaoo. But is it going to be among their faves ? Nah. Business proposal was heavily inspired by this drama. So its funny like that. But I'm serious when i say that I think they will not enjoy Descendant of the sun as much. Im pretty anxious for this month picks ... Lets get through this together 😂 and I advice some people to go back and watch the things they pick. It might not be as entertaining as you thought it was when you watched it couple of years ago. I did it. DOTS was a disappointment . Cannot wait for the day we are done with all these popular but mid dramas , so that legendary works like WWYS get a chance.

strange& sleepless

So now the show that won the last poll by far is on par with 5. place? interesting... xD

strange& sleepless

They're cute but I don't think they're reaction worthy. They're very slow and don't have much of a plot. And the relationship in hidden love is a little questionable in my opinion, I was uncomfortable for like half the drama.

Emanuel

Facts. People don't want to admit it but the nostalgia effect is real and affects most people. Me included - grew up watching smallville for example and rewatched it a couple times. But after a certain point, when i tried to rewatch i couldn't anymore coz i was getting too frustrated at certain things like Clark being self righteous a lot of times ('you should listen to me as i know what's best even tho i'll blatantly lie to your face constantly'. lol tryna have his cake and eat it too). It still has a special place in my heart because the upsides and the nostalgia make up for the flaws. You can have nostalgia but be aware of it so you reduce it's effect on objectivity.

Snax

im assuming youre talking about 2521? it's slow as shit. it's slice of life, sure, but the boring parts of it. and the ending falls flat, and i'm not even talking about the romance.

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

Hello, i wont disclose how far i am. But i do like DOTS. We all do. Its 60 minute episode lengths. Minimal dramatic pausing where nothing happens. (Which is my single greatest issue in dramas). The 2 male leads are Handsome, about business, funny and captivating. Both lead actresses are funny, pretty, and fiesty. They are dealing with Millitary, UN and Foreign policy affairs. Its my favorite subject if you watch Slime the anime. I have nothing but compliments so far. Kim Jiwon is also one of my favorite actresses personally Oh and I’m only answering this because people are trying to figure out what I like or don’t like. I will admit I will always prefer a modern drama over an older drama. The lighting is just visually better to look at. Our subscribers want to watch shows for nostalgia and I’ve already experimented enough that the view count is generally better by satisfying what people want to watch. If people are not into the new shows I can watch that on my own. Unfortunately I do not know people do not watch new shows

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

Ohhhh people often do not want reactions for things they have not seen so they keep picking old shows because they have seen those and people want to keep reliving those moments 🤷🏽‍♂️. Either way I’m here to provide an entertainment service. But I do try to understand viewers psychology and I convey it to anyone who is interested

Infinite Ree

@Lee - As always, thanks for the explanation, but I'm also happy that I guessed right for this one. I thought you guys would enjoy DOTS for all the reasons you stated. I was wrong about Twinkling Watermelon and Lovely Runner, so I feel slightly vindicated 🥲

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

No problem @infinite Ree. I love Lovely Runner. Its the first time in a romance where the Male lead is the selling point. (Doesnt mean i wanna go watch more of him). But he absolutely sold his role and was fun to vicariously live through. I think Twinkling Watermelon is fantasticly written but i do not connect with the characters and the drama much. So its a great show. That i would forget about out personally. Lol. However it remains a pillar for good writing. So i dont regret the experience but wouldn’t advise any of my friends to watch it. As i would lovely runner. Which really is only my wife and Sandy’s sister lol. My friends dont watch kdrama

koma

Then I am immensely relieved ! Im often so anxious because kdramas can become a bore to watch if the story Is not something that seems captivating enough. the episodes are usually so long that it has to be something, the person watching , would actually enjoy ( you ) And I was afraid you would not be entertained and that it would make the reactions not fun for you . For me it wasn't for the second watch when I put myself in yall shoes.. I could not even finish it because of it .That's were the anxiety came from. Im happy im wrong 😂😂 since I dont watch anime , I really did not know that military, foreign policy affairs and UN was your favorites topics. Id be happy the see your critics of this then. You usually bring up interesting views, so ill wait and see if I like it better. If not, ill just skip this one and wait for the next poll patiently 😅.

Emanuel

Lol, my guy Lex got gaslighted into darkness by Clark, Lionel & Jonathan Kent! Glad you like DOTS. I liked it too, just didn't love it and wouldn't put it in rewatchable for me personally. Just wanted to point out that nostalgia tends to skew ratings. Still gonna rewatch it with you guys, see if it gives me a fresh take. You guys have done that for a couple of other shows for me coz im the only one in my friend circle who watches kdramas so got no one to goddamn vibe with!😭

koma

the acting of Kim tae-ri saved the drama. The fact that this 40 Yr old woman looks and acts like a feisty teenager is what stole the hearts of most .. And of course the side characters love story. But you are right. The ending is flat out 😒😒 and I hate that I know the end at the beginning. Funny thing is, I still get some kind of hope about them 🤣🤣🤣 I hated it soo much that I will never recommend this drama to no one 😅 but rest assured that this drama will win one day. And its okay because for that actress only , the drama deserves to be watched.

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

@emmanuel. Appreciate the clarification. And yea. Oddly Lex was a victim ha. It was basically a self fulfilling prophecy. They expected him to be bad, he was raised by a villain and thus he became truly what people expected. Which was reinforced when his actual bad tendencies showed its face. People would be like “see we know your evil!” Lol. I know i always like Villains but he is the best written character in that show and among the best Actors of the main cast only rivaled by Lionel and i gotta Say Johnathan Kent.

martina1712

agreed. I cannot believe some of the shows and the number of votes that they get. its like, have we watched the same drama??

Sal

I really wish Her Private Life would be on a poll some day ☺️

Cocalita

Yeah, I love C dramas too but the episodes are usually at a minimum 24 episodes and that's a short amount of episodes for a Chinese drama. Any modern dramas with more than 24 eps are usually not that good. The historical and fantasy dramas are where they flourish. They are often super well acted. The cinematography and writing are usually on point. But the older ones can get up to 50+ eps and the newer ones have a 40 ep limit usually (can get past this by making it a 2 parter with a year in between).

Aka yuki

The poll results are getting weirder. Where did healer go and why isn't while you were sleeping winning? Guys i hope it is not nostalgia making you chose DOTS and WWWSK. They are good shows but they dind't age well in my opinion.

Joey Silpedes

Hometown Cha Cha Cha is my #1 choice

strange& sleepless

I'm talking about Hometown cha cha cha winning the last poll and now being on par with 2521 which was on 5th place in the last poll. I think 2521 is a wonderful show, didn't think it was ever boring. It's a slice of life but it's a well written emotional roller coaster through and through. The characters don't feel flat, they have some depth to them and they're really well acted. I could totally see our trio getting invested in them. I know a lot of people don't like the ending, but I think the show as whole is good enough to make up for it. And i personally didn't mind the ending, it was realistic.

Andre

Rounding off the big three with Park Min Young (Secretary Kim) only makes sense. With Kim Ji Won, Shin Hae-Sun and Park Min Young YBRL is getting K-drama royalty back to back to back

Asia Anderson

Top choices Secretary Kim and Hotel Del Luna! I haven't seen the others.

A

The ones I've seen tend to be 40 <30 minute episodes, which is equivalent to 20 <60 minute episodes. But I'm not immersed enough in cdramas to be able to recommend any.

raguoc00

I’m glad you are enjoying DOTS. I can’t pull up another military based drama quite like this one, at least that I’ve seen. It doesn’t make my top 10 but it is an enjoyable classic and good to have in the library for the shows that shaped modern kdrama.

Jay L

I cannot agree more...but we're in last place LOL, let's make it next time!

Imane

Replay 1988 please

Sophia

I love WWWSK it was the first drama I watched after watching meteor garden which was the first foreign show I’ve ever seen so I love to see that it’s getting attention.

Sahra Cali

Dear watchers can we please vote for Beyond evil next time Love story is boring we need some suspicious drama or revenge drama

Andre

We talking Smallville? Smallville low key the father of all modern superhero shows, it's a classic too me although it had its flaws. Lionel was my goat in the show with his classy evil approach lol, always talking about I wish you didn't see that or do that - because now I have to be a villain lol

Sal

I didn't even finish WWWSK 🙈. Imma start recommending HPL on every one now...hopefully there is enough of us

🍀

They watch 2 kdramas at a time right? Is it possible to have 1 romcom and 1 thriller? 🥺🥺🥺🥺

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

It’s possible. It’s up to you guys as a community that’s why I polled the shows And with what you guys want the most. Whatever you guys choose is what we will cover
