6. My least controversial drop this year is probably Impossible Heir — how do you fumble two of the most charismatic actors on the planet with such terrible writing?!? And maybe controversial is Atypical Family — I couldn’t get past the fatphobia in the very first episodes.

5. I watched Ready, Set, Love because I was looking for something short and easy, knowing pretty much nothing about it, and was surprised at how interesting its ideas were (even if I found it somewhat inconsistent)!

4. It was the Lovely Runner soundtrack for me this year, 100%. The Eclipse songs are great and I am always in the mood for N.Flying and 10cm, but it’s surprisingly the Minnie song that really gets me the most.

3. Continuing on a theme from yesterday… Uhm Tae Goo! I had started Save Me 2 at one point and dropped it early, so hadn’t really registered him in anything until My Sweet Mobster. Did we know that he could do that?!?

2. Han Sun Hwa has this way of playing light and bubbly with an undercurrent of sad and weird—loved her in WLDN and My Sweet Mobster.
