Disappointing Dramas - Part 1

So this is part 1 of my disappointing drama reviews. Multiple people mention a drama that disappointed them and I watch and see if I have a different perspective. Contains Spoilers. Dramas reviewed Hyde Jekyll Me Cinderella’s Sister Memories of the Alhambra 1. Hyde, Jekyll, Me What it is about (from asianwiki ): Koo Seo-Jin (Hyun-Bin) has two different personalities. One of his personalities is cold like Hyde and the other is sweet like Jekyll. He works as the director of theme park Wonderland. Jang Ha-Na (Han Ji-Min) works as the master and actress of a circus at Wonderland. Koo Seo-Jin tries to kick the circus out of Wonderland and Jang Ha-Na reorganizes the circus to stay.

Current favorite kdramas

These are list of my top 5 kdramas 1. Catch the Ghost : Don’t worry this drama is not about actual Ghosts. It’s about a serial killer known as the subway ghost. Moon Geun Young plays Yoo Ryung, a rookie detective, whose autistic twin sister goes missing joins the Subway team to try and find her. The Korean title is also a play on her name which also means ghost. Kim Seon Ho who plays a main lead role here is perfect as Ko Ji Seok, a police officer for the Subway team. I enjoyed the leads’ chemistry a lot. Ryung is quite reckless as a character, but I love her as she is a very empathetic person who really cares about the victims. As for Ji Seok I don’t think anyone can top him as the best ML for me. Also an empathetic person who is strict about following the rules. At first he gets annoyed by Ryung but slowly comes to see things her way. While some people didn’t feel that she developed much as a character I disagree. But I understand others might not be satisfied with it. Th
