Record of Youth is a charming coming of age story that looks at the darker sides of family, wealth and social position, and fame - all intertwined with a sweet love story.

The Trunk is a dark, slow-burn psychological drama with an art house feel.  It's sophisticated, stylised, and very character-driven.

The Legend of the Blue Sea is a fun romance featuring a mermaid and a con artist, loosely based on an ancient Korean legend.

Destined With You is a cute and quirky light-hearted contemporary romance with a magical twist.

Hometown Cha Cha Cha feels like a warm, healing hug. While there's a central romance, the best thing about this show is the very relatable community that surrounds the leads.

Something in the Rain  felt like two different stories to me. The first half is a classic slow burn romance, while the second half is a rather nihilistic commentary on the oppression of women in Korean society.

I've never before given a K-drama a half star, but this show feels just shy of 4 stars and too good for 3 stars, so I'm rating it 3.5. Read on to find out why...
