DNA Lover: After they introduced a priest as a character and kept talking about pregnancy being something between a husband and a wife, it just struck me as more conservative than I'd like. Dropping this for now.
The Frog: Very stylish and atmospheric. I guess, you really have to appreciate the vibe of this show. Otherwise, you'll think they could've told the same story in five or six episodes. My main disappointment: I wish Lee Jung-eun's character could've been brilliant when it mattered. Throughout the show, she was characterized as a person with a keen investigative sense but I never really saw that brilliance properly realized on-screen.
Love Next Door: Cute first episode. I'm not a friends-to-lovers fan but I dig the antagonistic vibe between the leads. So far, I also like the ML more than the FL lead -- which rarely happens. Just loved his introductory scene with the funeral director!
No Gain, No Love: Fake dating is one of my favorite tropes and I cannot wait to see how this show does it. I liked everything about the first two episodes: A calculating, cold FL, a goody-two-shoes ML who likes to bicker with our FL, the foster family relationship between FL and her two sisters (one of them the 2FL, who is a romance web novel writer), and the 2ML, a chaebol heir, who is in an odd office war with his male secretary.
Only Murders in the Building S4: Dropped the last season because I couldn't stand it. However, the new season started on a super funny note and I finally remember what I loved about this show in the first place.
Sidenote: I'm so sad that Renegade Nell (see icon) was canceled. The news has been out for a while but when I looked it up a couple of weeks ago, the producers still sounded excited about a second season. It had so much potential! And even if it hadn't developed into a sapphic direction (see icon, but there's also another lady who could excite Katie McGrath!Morgana lovers), I still would have cheered for the potential F/M couple simply because I adored the actors and their chemistry. Hell, if there hadn't been any romantic storyline, I would have been fine with it for the strong family relationship between the three sisters. All in all, it is a huge waste. I'm sure this show would have found its audience if properly advertised.
On my to-watch list: Represent, Kaos, Cinderella's Curse (2024 horror movie)
I'm really excited about Cinderella's Curse because the trailer makes it look like a perfectly trashy B movie. There's another 2024 Cinderella horror movie, Cinderella's Revenge, which I will check out later.
