311. Miss Hammurabi 미스 함무라비 (2018) Korean

Go Ara, L, Sung Dong Il, Ryu Deok Hwan, Lee Elijah

Drama Rating: 7/10     Neck Score: A-

This was much better than I thought it would be. As much as I love L and Go Ara, they aren't strong actors. However, my love for Sung Dong Il is enough to surpass anything. Plus I had heard good things from people who had started it. So I caught up... super fast. It was one of the better legal dramas I have seen in a while. Those usually tend to be too much for me, too much court room sensation, drama, the works.

Drama Picking Bias Syndrome

I've been called out on this before, and I probably won't stop doing it ever.  As much as I love Kpop, and I do at that, I have problems finding new bands or getting into their music, until I have a bias for that band.  I don't pick a bias until I have a reason to like them, and that reason usually comes from seeing them in a drama first.  I think it's possibly because I tend to just appreciate them as a collective until I know one of them enough to love him individually.

A prime example of this is my history of liking Super Junior.

117. My Lovable Girl 내겐 너무 사랑스러운 그녀 (2014) Korean

Jung Ji Hoon (Rain), Krystal Jung, Cha Ye Ryun, Kim Myung Soo (L)

Drama Rating: 2/10     Neck Score: A-

Why is this show so dumb?  I should have know better.  No plot about a dude falling for his dead girlfriends younger sister is any good, and this one was no exception.  Ugh, the things I do for my biases.  I'm talking to you, Kim Myung Soo!  Seriously, I love Rain, but it was L that got me to watch this against my better judgement.  I mean Rain what hot and all, but I just wanted to punch him in the face the whole time.  Also there was zero chemistry between him and Krystal.  They could both act pretty good, but it still felt like he was her actual oppa.  Ew.  Every time they had any skinship it felt yucky to me.  Also, super mope central.  This show was nothing but moping.  I couldn't even force myself to pay attention while watching it, and literally only watched the parts when L and Krystal were together.  The worst part is that it just didn't turn dumb, it was dumb from the start, the moment that Rain's character didn't tell her the truth.  The end.  It was a case of serious second male lead syndrome, especially since L acted more like the typical butt headed male lead while also acting like the sweet second male lead, while Rain was just a wishy washy lying dumbo.  Well, pretty much everyone in this show was dumb, so yeah, I hated it.  It was boring, lame, mopey and just not a good drama at all.  They couldn't even give me the one couple I liked, Director Kang and the stepmom.  Theirs was the only romance I cared about, and they had to snatch it away with some crap about the dad not cheating but really being a nice dude.  Whatever, that's total crap.  Stupid show.  At least most of the necks were hot... despite the horrible abuse of turtlenecks and creepy scarfs.  Kim Jin Woo needs to stop playing d-bags though, because that man is so hot.  His chin and neck were killing me every time he was on screen.

37. Shut Up Flower Boy Band 닥치고 꽃미남 밴드 (2012) Korean

Sung Joon, L, Jung Ui Chul, Jo Bo Ah

Drama Rating: 7/10     Neck Score: A

The darkest of all the Flower Boy series.  Obviously the really hot flower boys are the band.  It's even called Eye Candy.  Also the girl is probably the least important person in this show, as opposed to the other shows which are centered on her.  This is about the band and all the trials of being high schoolers that don't fit in, first because they are poor bad boys in an underground band suddenly going to a fancy rich school when their school closes down, and then when they are scouted into an entertainment agency and have their debut, they are once again not fitting in as they are now celebrities.  It's a story about working hard, following dreams, and protecting your friends.  Also, don't get attached to Joo Byung Hee (Lee Min Ki).  I did and was heart broken when he suddenly died.  Yeah, that's right, I spoiled it.  He dies in episode 2.  But I was so confused when I thought he was the main dude and then all the classic main couple tropes started happening between the chick and Sung Joon.  He was the hottest too, but he died.  I did say it was dark.  The other worst part of the show is when they cut Sung Joon's hair.  It was so wild and great before and they ruined it.  But the OST is amazing.  I love the OST way more than the show itself (which I did like, it's just rather heavy for a Flower Boy show).  Especially these songs: Jaywalking & Wake Up.  Also Kwak Jung Wook amazes me by playing a preppy rich smart kid from the rival band at the rich school and is hilarious.  Also a 100% polar opposite from his bad boy character in School 2013.  Wow.
