First! Hehe.
Well, I have similar number 1 pick with you. It’s time for Eulachacha Waikiki season 2 and (though I’m a bit, just too too bit, disappointed that I won’t be seeing my Son Seung Won and Kim Jung Hyun again) I am still too excited to see different casts who also have big potentials. 🙂

Woohoo! Yep, it had to be Eulachacha Waikiki 2. No contest. I know the feeling though. I’m disappointed that we couldn’t get the whole cast back since they were all so great together. But I get my fav Lee Yi Kyung back, plus we get to meet a new group that will be primed for all kinds of fun, new adventures. So mostly, I’m excited 🙂

Other than Waikiki, i’m not quite sure yet about the March premieres. Hmm, I’m going to try Doctor Prisoner and maybe Confession or Kill It.

Oooh, going for the thrillers, huh? Aside from Waikiki, I’ll probably go for He is Psychometric. And then I’ll keep an eye on the rest to see if they capture my interest 🙂

Looks like you caught a break! I’ve definitely been there where I’m actually relieved when hardly any of the new crop interests me because I already have so much on my list. From the new premieres, my only must is Waikiki, and then I will most likely watch He is Psychometric. I’ll be keeping an eye on the others though before I decide for sure if I will check them out 🙂

I’ve been rather underwhelmed with 2019 kdrama offerings so far. Still, I’ll probably try out ‘He’s Psychometric’ and ‘Confession’. Possibly ‘Kill It’ as well. We’ll see how it goes. ☺

Thankfully, so far 2019 has given me a pretty good selection. He is Psychometric is one I will be trying out too, as well as Waikiki. I may go for some of the others if they catch my eye later 🙂

Doctor Prisoner looks interesting – and mostly because it will star Nam Goong Min. Who’s the lead actress – Nara as in Jang Nara?

He’s the main reason I would be interested in it 🙂 The lead actress is Hello Venus’ Nara.

In turn He is Psychometric and Big Issue. The others looks like the remake of the last two years dramas. I’m waiting for something interesting. but the truth is that the dramas in recent times all copy each other. I think I should continue to develop my patience ……. Je, je, je.

Those two both look promising 🙂 It’s true, most dramas are fairly similar to each other. It’s hard to do something really new. But usually something will eventually come along. And who said dramas can’t teach you something…they even help you learn patience, lol 😉
