Gyeongseong Keuricheo (2023)
Curiosity inducing,emotional but imperfect!!
I won't say that the series is perfect. The story has a good set up and the actors are all good. It did make me curious and I was emotional at times, empathyzing with the plight of war victims. Iam looking forward to the next season very much. However the making has I think, many flaws such as lack of detail in some characters especially like that of Wi Ha Jun's, protecting the leads with plot armours many times so that we end up thinking that's absurd, no way that's possible or that it could have been shot differently. Expected acting wise,more from both the lead actors in the first episode but I think their acting got better as the story progressed. A show that has been hyped for so long will be obviously critiqued in detail. It's interesting -both the premise and the characters but making could have been way way better.
Finished the part2 and I seriously think they could have made this an awesome show if they had invested more into the writing. Well it turned out to be an average experience for me. Do watch and find out.

Absolute Delight
The Matchmakers is one among the recent dramas released in the last quarter of 2023 that I have watched without skipping a single scene. Even if Iam fan of the actors, I don't continue if the plot or the script is not good. Here it started off as a light romcom and slowly began exploring the weight of the emotions of the characters. I loved it by all means. The performances by leads are commendable as they have managed very well to showcase both the goofiness in the older episodes and the restraint later on. I would like to appreciate Choi Yi Hyun for the growth she has showcased and Rowoon too for the improvement 🖤. No character is a filler character here and that is another highlight. Giving space to everyone no matter what their screentime is a great quality . It's indeed an absolute delight for me and the frames are mesmerizing, the natural colors around them are so beautiful and it's comforting to look at it. I would recommend it to anyone.
