“It hurt. A lot. Someone else was seeing the smile you used to make only at me. And someone else was holding the hand that only I used to hold. And someone else was in the place I was supposed to be at. It hurt. But it hurt millions of times more seeing you cry alone. You woke up alone, watched Seo Woo alone, and ate alone in an empty house without me. And you cried alone. That hurt so much that I didn’t even get jealous of the other person. It broke my heart, but I felt so relieved. You felt enough pain, and you endured enough. I only wanted one thing back then. I wanted you to put me behind you and go on with your life. So don’t blame yourself. You really love Min Jung. I know you do. Even if no one in the world can tell, I know it.”
Okay so I just got inspired by a video by the youtuber Dramamaster and their most recent video and wouldn’t it be cool if there was an MBTI like personality typing system for Kdrama watchers? What drama watcher personality type do you have? I’m an OFBJ

Mr. Sunshine - powerful messages about women empowerment, identity, and patriotism. A story about a woman’s unwavering belief in protecting her country, and three men and a lady who are united by a common goal to protect her and help accomplish her goal.
“Gun. Glory. Sad ending.”
Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Prison Playbook - personal stories of redemption, silent suffering, bullying, drug addiction, and hope. The drama shows life within the prison walls and it displays that not all people are inherently bad, but their current position in life threatens them to make certain decisions.
“I wanted to give up hundreds of times every day… but how could I give up?”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi Bye Mama - a story about learning to let go. When faced with difficult decisions, there is no easy answer, no easy way. Slow plot but that’s exactly what makes this drama unlike the others. The agonizing wait of what is to come builds up as the main character makes her final decision.
“Perhaps the most beautiful thing we can feel in life is telling someone that we love them and thanking someone whom we’re thankful for. I realized it’s a great joy to give and that you end up feeling sorry if you always receive.”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reply 1988 - part of the reply series, but this one emphasizes on the familial relationships between the characters which is an important aspect of this story. The ending will either satisfy you or disappoint you but you know what they say, can’t please everyone. PS this is how I fell in love with ryu junyeol ❤️
“Time will always flow. Everything will pass by. That might be why youth is beautiful. It shines, blindingly bright, for just an instant. But you can never go back to it.”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo - a story about the power struggle within the palace walls. The plotting and betrayals will lead to dire consequences. Once you have lost something, there is no going back in time, once you have lost someone, you can never bring them back. There is no second chance.
“A place that’s hard to enter and even harder to leave. You end up dying if you trust anyone. You’ll live if you remain alert and wary of those closest to you. It’s a place like that.”
Just finished my 6th K-Drama (1-Reply 1977, 2-Hi Bye Mama!, 3-Kingdom Season 1, 4-The Hospital Playlist, 5-Prison Playbook, 6-Kingdom Season 2). My classmate recommended my to watch this series. I’m done with episode 2 now. So far, these two episodes hits different to me. The first one hits different because I have an ex, we broke up a year ago. Watching this made me question again my view on love lol. I cried on the last part where all of her friends moved in with her. In the second episode, they presented new male leads. There’s this song in the last part that made me cry … I barely understand the lyrics but I wish I have someone with me, it does not have to be romantically. But I keep on long for constant friends, though I have them.
