1. City Hunter:This series is one that is a story of revenge that has a good amount of action and romance to it as well. This series is one that has a really good story behind it and good characters that make you invested in the story. I thought that this drama had good conflict between the characters that kept the story interesting through out it's run.
2. I Hear Your Voice: This series is one that is a bit hard to pin down because there are just so many aspects to it, this series is a noona romance, a legal drama and thriller with a supernatural element all at once and it feels like all the pieces of the story shouldn't fit as well together as they do. The characters are great and they all are able to go through character development through out the series as well as getting plenty of relationship development. Overall this series is one that you can't help but become emotionally invested in and that makes you forgive any of the flaws this series may have.
3. Healer: This series is an action adventure romance that has the male lead acting similarly to a superhero and a female lead working as a truth seeking reporter which are tropes we've seen before but this series makes them feel brand new. This series is one that has a very good emotional core to it with characters that you can't help but love.
4. Pinocchio: This series is another great one that deals with the morals and ethics of broadcast journalism and explores the very nature of what the truth is. This series is one that has great characters that go through emotional journeys as they have their world views challenged and the romance in the series is great as well.
5. W: Two Worlds: This one is a series that has a concept that really stands out with having a comic book character become self aware and having the female lead sucked into the comic book and end up falling in love with him. This series is one that is filled with twists and turns and it gives the audience plenty to talk about as we explore what makes a human, human.
6. Heartless City: This dark crime story that deals with criminals and undercover cops just trying to survive is one that is extremely well made and endlessly intriguing to watch with all the characters being so very flawed. This show is one that stands out both because of it's darker tone and it's darker but still gorgeous look that the series has to it.
7. Queen In Hyun's Man: This series is a really sweet time travel romance that is sure to make you swoon with two leads that are completely lovable and it has the right balance of fluff and angst to it.
8. Dream High: This series is a teen drama about students at a preforming arts school working their hardest to achieve their dreams and make it in the K-pop industry. The characters in this series are all ones that I can't help but to root for and I really loved seeing them grow through out the series and I always found myself caring about them.
9. School 2013: This series is a drama that is simply about the lives of students and teachers of one class at one school and although that premise doesn't sound all that gripping the series itself is because the characters are and you find yourself completely invested in their story as the series goes on.
10. Witch's Romance: This series is about the romance between 39 year old cold hearted ultra successful reporter and a sweet 25 year old who works has a man who does any kind of part time job someone might need done, the romance in this series is unconventional but also completely heartwarming.

TV Review: Pinocchio
Pinocchio Review
Pinocchio the Kdrama is about the power and responsibility that reporters have when broadcasting news stories. Choi Dal-po who is really Gi Ha-myung has known how dangerous a reporter not getting their facts right can be, because when he was a child after his father's death the media destroy his father's image by reporting lies about him and this in turn destroyed his family and led to him living under a false name. Dal-po has understandable developed a deep hatred and disgust towards reports because of this incident. Dal-po ends up living with Choi In-ha and her father and grandfather after his mother committed suicide because the lies the media told about his father and he discovers shortly after meeting In-ha that her mother is Song Cha-ok the reporter who spearheaded the attack against his father despite this Dal-po still ends up developing feelings for In-ha.
In-ha has a disorder called Pinocchio syndrome which means that if she lies she hiccups right afterwards so that means she can't really lie. In-ha wants to become a reporter and this is something that most of the people around her are against and being a reporter is something that most people think is impossible for a Pinocchio to be but In-ha remains determined to make her dream come true until she re-meets her mother at one of her job interviews who regards her very coldly and dismisses her dream of being a reporter because she insist that reporters have to lie to get to the truth.
When In-ha is thinking about giving up on her dream to become a reporter Dal-po tells her that the two of them will become reporters together and this is what ends up leading the two of them to eventually working as reporters for two rival broadcast channels after Dal-po gets the job they interviewed for(and decides to take in order to find out the truth about what happened to his father and reveal it to the world and as a way to find his brother) and In-ha didn't get the job but did get one offered to her by her mother who's network is seen as untrustworthy in the viewers eyes which led to them thinking hiring a reporter as a PR stunt would be a good idea.
Overall there are a lot of things that I love about this show but I feel like it's not simple to explain what exactly this show is about since there just so much going on in the backstory that needs to addressed before you can even get to the present day stuff so it's a bit hard to talk about everything in one post. I really do love the main characters and most of the side characters as well and I really did love the look at what being a report is and should be. I really loved seeing the main characters develop both as people and reporters and I especially loved seeing what they think that being a reporter should be which is someone who reports the truth that the public needs to hear. I really loved the sweet romantic relationship that Dal-po and In-ha had because it was such a nice relationship that just showed how much they cared about each other without being overly dramatic and instead focused on how much they enjoyed each other's company. Overall I loved this show and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in Kdramas. Please tell me your thoughts on this series.

Top 10 Songs I've Been Listening to Lately
1. I'm Going to Meet You by Deok Hwan(From Queen In-hyun's Man): I've recently been watching the Kdrama Queen In-hyun's Man and I absolutely love it and this song is one that plays during a lot of the romantic moments and I realized I liked it quite a bit then I listen to the full song and fell in love with it and then I found fan video to this song and got even more obsessed with it. This song is one that has a sweet gentle romantic feel to it but also somehow feels epic and it reminds of my favorite moments of Queen In-hyun's Man which was one of the best romances I have ever seen/read.
2. Wish I Were Here from Next to Normal: Next to Normal is my favorite musical and Wish I Were Here is one of my favorite songs from it. This song and many other songs from the musical are ones that I listen to from time to time and I still love it as much as I did the first time that I heard it.
3. Tonight At Eight from She Loves Me(2016's): I've never actually seen this musical but I've listen to most of the songs from it and I especially love this one because well I'm a big fan of Zachery Levi as an actor and a singer so I like to listen to this song because I feel like it shows off his voice.
4. Why Did You Come Now by Jung Yup(From I Hear Your Voice): Awhile ago I found this fan videos to songs from the Kdrama I Hear Your Voice and while watching the videos it made me remember all of the things that I loved about the show and made me want watch it again even though I just watched it for the first time a few months ago. I just really love I Hear Your Voice and this song is from that shows and reminds me of the lighter happier moments of the show.
5. Echo by Every Single Day(From I Hear Your Voice): This song is the one that was used as the theme song for I Hear Your Voice so whenever I hear it I think of the show and I really love the show so I really like listening to it. I also just like the song by itself to but mostly I love the memories of the show it brings, also I think you should watch I Hear Your Voice because it's a great show.
6. Non-Fiction by Every Single Day(From Pinocchio): This song is from another Kdrama I loved and since I love the song and the drama I tend to listen to it quite a bit.
7. Dead Girl Walking(Reprise)from Heathers: The Musical: This song is probably my favorite song from the musical that is full of songs that I love and I really love it because I can imagine the scene being played out and because this song is one that is at the climax of the show which makes it more exciting.
8. Freeze Your Brain from Heathers: The Musical: This song is another favorite because I realy love how this song tells us who JD is as a character and it also shows how a bit how he differs from movie JD it shows that he is more someone who as numbed himself rather than someone who doesn't feel. Also this song is one associate with Skye from Agents of Shield at least during season 2.
9. Out of My Head by Digital Daggers: This is just a song and artist I really like and I like the feeling that I get from the song and I feel like there's an interesting story that could be told to this song if you wanted to make one.
