300. That Man Oh Soo aka Evergreen 그남자 오수 (2018) Korean

Lee Jong Hyun, Kim So Eun, Kang Tae Oh, Heo Jeong Min, Park Geun Hyung

Drama Rating: 2/10     Neck Score: B


When we finished Radio Romance and we only had this one left in terms of less good dramas, we all assured ourselves that this one would be much easier to finish... You might have then noticed that Radio Romance was scored a 3, while this one is merely a 2. That's right, this was awful. It was always a little bit off in the fact that while I'm a fan of Lee Jong Hyun, he's not a great actor, and this was definitely testing him too much. Because when you're not amazing, bad writing and directing will just do you in. In fact, I should say that all 2 of those points exist because of Beautiful Beautiful Man (Heo Jeong Min). He is the best person alive, and single-handly saved us from dying by his sheer presence in this drama. I hope they paid him well for wasting his talents so. Does OCN Romance own him and Choi Dae Chul? Why do they keep appearing in these not good OCN romance dramas???  Ahem.

282. Go Back Couple 고백부부 (2017) Korean

Jang Na Ra, Son Ho Jun, Heo Jeong Min, Han Bo Reum, Chang Ki Yong, Ko Bo Gyeol

Drama Rating: 8/10     Neck Score: A+

I was expecting more humor with this, with everything the ahjussi/ajhumma back in a 20 year old's body plot could bring.  I was expecting all the pain and tears that this would bring.  Seriously, every time they would do the happy family/cute baby montage with their kid Seo Jin, I would lose it.  So would they.  I'd lose it with the mom stuff too.  This was a beautiful show about family and making your marriage work.  It was less about the romance because of that.  Our couple was already in love, we were just watching them realize what it was that was keeping them from that.

Before I started this, I heard a bunch of people who said they hated Son Ho Jun's character.  I may be biased, but I never saw that.  Yeah, he was acting less smart at times.  They were a couple who were pretty much divorced, you can't expect either of them to be not petty at first when given this opportunity.  But this is a show about people who made less good choices getting a second chance so they could make the right choice.  It was about words too long unsaid, or words that should have never been said.  It was about healing and growing.

111. Marriage, Not Dating 연애 말고 결혼 (2014) Korean

Han Groo, Yeon Woo Jin, Jinwoon, Han Sun Hwa, Heo Jeong Min, Yoon So Hee

Drama Rating: 8/10     Neck Score: A

Finally, a cute little drama that stays consistently awesome the whole time. I don't know if it was better that I waited to start it until it was almost over or not.  On one hand it's so awesome I wished I had learned that sooner, on the other hand waiting meant that I could marathon it... which I did, but that is not the best thing health wise to do.  Seriously, once I started watching it I couldn't stop, until I had watched it all.  What's better than a contract marriage?  A contract engagement with the purpose of getting the family to object and refuse the marriage.  Apart from the obvious hating of the other girl, who was weird, I loved everyone in it (well the cheating dad is obviously not included as well).  The main couple has to be one of the cutest and funniest couples ever.  I also like how its somewhat realistic, as in the pace and the problems as things that might actually need to be dealt with and not completely over the top.  Naturally it still is, but this is a drama.  Even when things were bad it stayed cute and funny and it was never draggy and lame.  Seriously, it was a romcom that stayed a romcom the entire time.  How often does that happen?  It usually is good until episode 12/13 and then all the sudden it's a melodrama.  Nope.  This was romcom gold the entire time.  Loved it.
