30min | 32 episodes

Full House Take 2 is a 2012 South Korean television series that was jointly produced by Korean, Chinese and Japanese companies. It aired on Japan's TBS-cable affiliate TBS Channel 2, and South Korean cable channel SBS Plus.

A hapkido teacher named Jang Man-ok (Hwang Jung-eum; Man-ok means "full house" in Hanja) poses as a stylist for top idol group TAKE ONE and moves into the band's luxurious house, which superstar musician Lee Tae-ik (No Min-woo) inherited from his father. A love triangle emerges as Lee vies against fellow band member Won Kang-hwi (Park Ki-woong) for Jang’s affection

After completing "The Girl Who Sees Smells," I couldn't resist diving into another Kdrama. Remarkably, this marks the 4th Kdrama I've watched this month alone, and we're barely into the second week of March! Talk about a Kdrama binge, lolz.

I stumbled upon this new drama on VIKI and was instantly intrigued by the unique characters and their distinctive hairstyles and outfits, setting it apart from the usual Kdramas I've seen. What's even better is that each episode is only 30 minutes long—perfect for quick and captivating viewing!

Little did I know that the real hook would arrive when I reached around 1/4 of the way through the 32 episodes. From that point on, I was completely engrossed, and true to form, I finished this addictive Kdrama in just two days! The captivating storyline and engaging characters kept me glued to the screen, making it impossible to resist the temptation of a marathon viewing session, lolz.

The Girl Who Sees Smells (2015)
Naemsaereul Boneun Sonyeo (original title)
16 episodes

Detective Tae Ho lost his younger sister to a barcode-murder case and lost his ability to taste, smell, and feel pain. He then meets Oh Cho Rim, the only witness to the murder case who possesses a special sense: she can see smells.

"The Girl Who Sees Smells" marks my third Kdrama series for this month, and I must say, Shin Se-Kyung's acting here surpasses her performance in "Bride of the Water God." However, it's Min Namgoong's portrayal of his character that truly stands out, leaving a lasting impression.

The series' plot twists kept me thoroughly entertained and eagerly anticipating each new episode. I was so engrossed that I managed to finish the entire series in just three days, even though I secretly wished I could have binge-watched it all in one sitting if not for my work responsibilities, lolz.

Shopping King Louie (2016)
Shopingwang Looi (original title)
16 episodes

An heir used to shopping away his grief finds himself trapped in Seoul with no memory and no one to help him except a sweet, rural girl who teaches him the value of a life without money.

After immersing myself in the world of "Man to Man," I eagerly delved into this new series, making it my second Kdrama for the month.

I was delighted to see Nam Ji-hyun once again, as it marked my second time witnessing her talent in a series. I had previously seen her in "Suspicious Partner," which aired just a year after this one. Surprisingly, despite the relatively short time gap between the two series, she appeared remarkably youthful in this one, as if there were years in between.

The male lead's exceptional portrayal of his character was truly commendable, leaving a strong impression on me. Moreover, reuniting with Oska (Yoon Sang-Hyun) brought a sense of nostalgia, as I first encountered him in "Secret Garden." Seeing him in this series added to the overall enjoyment, infusing the drama with familiar faces and fond memories.

Man to Man (2017)
Maen Too Maen (original title)
16 episodes

A secret agent works under cover as a bodyguard and is forced to deal with both national security missions as well as a temperamental superstar.

The bromance scenes were an unexpected delight, and I couldn't help but find them more amusing than the scenes involving the lead couple, lolz. The subtle camaraderie between the characters brought a unique charm to the series, leaving me eagerly anticipating their interactions. The humor and chemistry shared by the male characters added an extra layer of enjoyment to the drama, and I found myself eagerly waiting for those hilarious moments to unfold. While the lead couple's scenes were undoubtedly significant to the plot, it was the bromance that stole my heart and kept me thoroughly entertained throughout the show.
