Call It Love (2023)
I'm loving the dimensions of each of the characters...
Sometimes I crave for something overwrought and dreary and this series has been doing it for me. It requires deep character analysis as you aren't watching it for the plot but for the character development that's why it isn't for everyone if you like dramas that have defining stance just skip it .
I'm really loving the chemistry between the main leads, it's developing well not too fast paced and not to cringy. I love as this drama brings out the ordinary details in life and teases out each of the characters motives , and thought process, it's like I'm developing with the characters, seeing their struggles and making decisions with them. But it's also far from perfect there are some fill ins that the writer probably stuffed in a place or two maybe as the drama begins to unfold it would all come to place. So,if you aren't into slice of life dramas or character driven dramas don't watch this it isn't for you, don't go watching it and giving it a bad rating just skip it and save yourself the stress.
Love to Hate You (2023)
Not the Enemies to lovers trope I expected...
I saw this series because of the hype around it,and it didn't meet my expectations. I think people just liked it because the female lead was like a "femme -fatale" and that too felt forced. This is one of the worst kdramas I've viewed, I love the "enemies to lovers" trope but the execution in this particular one is poor.
In the case of humour I would give it 4/10 and that's only because of their facial expressions, some things they did and thought it funny isn't funny at all. It was basically as if the producer and writer just wanted to produce a bland , cliche romcom just for viewing it didn't look like work was put into it compared to other Kdramas. Kdramas are known for their solid script, thorough research and acting and I've been quite obsessed with them lately but this one is a "No".

If someone recommends this to you,the person has taste
I had gone on a break from kdramas because I felt most of them were to fast-paced, cheesy and unnecessarily cringy!
I'm glad this was the first kdrama I came back to after my long hiatus from kdramas.
The screenplay (OMG) was what captivated me,plus the directing and cinematography.
I'm a huge critic and once I see from the first episodes that the drama fails to captivate me through it's screenplay and directing,my opinion of the drama goes downhill immediately.
I was not disappointed,it deserves the hype.
Then second is the cast, especially the two main leads, when the main leads are attractive not to be vain or whatever but let's be honest it draws more views, the director took note of that.
Everything was unique! From the atypical and not your-usual-female lead to the unorthodox methods the psychiatric director took to help his patients find healing. It was very refreshing.
A few people felt that the murder mystery spoilt the show a little, but I beg to differ! With or without it this series would have still been bomb! It wasn't an unnecessary addition to the plot from what I saw and it didn't take the focus and theme of the drama away which is "mental health".
Of course there were some plot holes, nothing is perfect but overall the series was good! The quotes were amazing.
Anyone who gives this a low rating, just doesn't have taste (I'm sorry,I know we all have opinions) but that's the truth.
I also advise to not watch if the theme is not your type...this show requires deep analysis and understanding of each character.
If you are used to fast paced and cheesy shows like the "business proposal" (which was okay by the way) this show isn't for you, so don't give it a low rating without you understanding the arch and development of the series.
