    I think this month’s premiers are not as strong as the previous months.
    Hmmm.. My pick would be, I think, Do Do Sol Sol.
    Will keep my eyes on Record of Youth, and Lie After Lie too.
    Private Life sounds fun also.

      I agree. My only must watch from the premieres is Record of Youth. Then I’ll be keeping an eye on Do Do and Lie After Lie. Still plenty of dramas to watch from the last couple months though, hehe

        I’m skeptical with RoY though. Don’t have that specific reason though. Hahaha.
        There are a lot of other things to watch though. My list has its own life. It keeps on growing on its own.

          Haha, yeah, I know how that goes. Park So Dam is my person for that one. I’ve missed her so much in Dramaland and can’t wait to see her again. And I do really like Park Bo Gum too. But you’re right, there are no shortage of other things to watch. We have to prioritize to get in all the ones we really want 🙂

            Will wait for more detailed trailer to see how it goes.

    Hmm….for me it will Private Life and Alice. Those sound like the most interesting ones. I might check at least the pilot of Zombie Detective and see if it’s something I could enjoy (if it isn’t too heavy slapstick humor I just might😊). All in all, looks like a slightly slower month, but I guess it also depends on what shows you like 😊

      A much needed slower month for sure! I’ll definitely go for Alice, When I Was the Most Beautiful, and Record of Youth. Then maybe a couple others. No shortage of stuff to watch though 🙂

    (September 2020: September Full of Life, Lots of Love)

    To All the Guys Who Loved Me (watched ep. 13/16)
    Since the last two episodes of this show were delayed (COVID-related), it now becomes part of my September 2020 entries.
    Hwang Jung Eum is always fantastic in both her serious and funny modes. However, To All the Guys Who Loved Me had been inconsistent throughout its run. The funny is really funny. But the plot development on the serious side is a little bit complicated, that it sometimes overshadowed the overall fun side of the show. I still have three remaining episodes, so let us see what else can happen.

    Flower of Evil (watched ep. 5/16)
    Now I haven’t seen such unique drama before! It started very strong. And Lee Joon Ki’s and Moon Chae Won’s chemistry is so strong too. I feel like they are actually one happy family with that cute little kid. 😍 So let’s see how this potential show might go.

    Hospital Playlist (watched ep. 2/12)
    Yoo Yeon Seok + Jung Kyung Ho + Jo Jung Suk is equal to a must-watch drama! The cast ensemble is pretty much reason to check out Hospital Playlist. It’s starting very calm though (unlike any other intense medicals). I am so excited for its heartwarming and tearjerking life-valuing scenes on the next episodes.

    Blood (watched ep. 3/20)
    Hmm.. Not very into vampire dramas. Don’t know what to feel with Ku Hye Sun yet. But Ahn Jae Hyun as lead is enough hot reason not to miss Blood out. Finally I’m watching it! It’s intense and thrilling, and full packed with actions, so I have to brace myself for more intensified bloody episodes.

    Uncontrollably Fond (watched ep. 5/20)
    So I am so ready to cry my heart out! That’s all I could say for now. And that Kim Woo Bin is such a hottie, 😍 and his moments with Bae Suzy are very lovely.

    Doctors (watched ep. 2/20)
    It started very detailed and the writing is so good. Park Shin Hye looks very cute with Kim Rae Won. And I just couldn’t ignore my love for Lee Sung Kyung. Hopefully the good will sustain after its time jump. 😊

    So I took a lot of thinking for my entries this September. And it feels like they mostly lie on medical and heartwarming dramas. 😀
    I know though not all of them is for you. 😂

      You’ve got quite a line up already going in September 🙂 I will start Flower of Evil as soon as it nears its end, and I can’t wait!

      Will probably check out To All the Guys Who Loved Me at some point.

      Absolutely loved Uncontrollably Fond. Classic melo style that I like so much. Definitely have the tissues ready!

      You do have a lot of doctor dramas going this month, hehe. I won’t be seeing any of those, but hopefully you enjoy them. I’ve heard Hospital Playlist is an excellent drama which would be expected from that writer 🙂

        I’m enjoying Flower of Evil.
        And Uncontrollably will surely break pieces of me pretty soon. 😭

    Kay, do you know where 18 Again will be legally available for streaming in the US? Neither Netflix nor Viki have it.

      So far no one has is it legally in the US. It looks like iQIYI got the rights to it in some other countries, so maybe they will eventually make it available in the US too.
