1. ¿Qué le ocurre a la secretaria Kim?
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
just a lot of roundabout. classic drama with "misunderstandings" to draw out the plot

Chinese Drama - 2019, 36 episodes
skipskipskip, but has cute beans in a fluffy school romance
-

fun format (mockumentary), and silly characters/moments (also Minho as a side character made my viewing experience so much better)

a long melodrama. the best parts were mostly between the main leads

Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
a light-hearted, but oddly suspenseful, youth drama
-
6. Dear Mayang Street

this would've been way better as a 24ep drama. a lot of filler, but still an overall nice plot
-
