#ADramaLunies2026 for what I've watched this past lunar year

February 17: Which horror/thriller/suspense drama had you running for your blankie?

I usually don't watch that genre. But a thriller I eagerly awaited for new episodes was the #cdrama #TheVendettaOfAn

There are so many twists and turns that you just don't expect!

February 18: most memorable teen actor?

Hu Xian Xu as "Shi Guang" in the 2020 #cdrama #HikaruNoGo

He had a full range of emotions, flawed yet learned to be better.

February 19: Most memorable food or meal?

The first meal Susu has after giving birth in the #cdrama #ThisThrivingLand was very memorable. 🤐 No spoilers!

For a #kdrama I choose #HelloMonster #RememberYou as I am still in shock how these specific characters all ended up around a table together.

February 20: Your favorite guilty watching pleasure

Last year, I watched the #kdrama #HowAreYouBread which was odd and endearing and also odd. But the most important part? It starred my favorite kpop star #SUHO #수호 😍

He even sang the OST!

#ADramaLunies2026
February 21: Most memorable love triangle

Geometry was not my strongest subject in school. 🤭 So I will list this love pentagon instead. Here is Yang Zi and ALL FOUR of her potential suitors in the #cdrama #LostYouForever - some fell in love with her when she was a man, some when she was a woman, and some loved her regardless of her perceived gender.

I really enjoyed both seasons of this show.

February 22: Best dressed character in a drama

Jung Geum Ja was so brightly, boldly dressed in the #kdrama #Hyena

I talk about it in our recent EYDC thread from December:

#ADramaLunies2026
February 23: most ridiculous medical treatment?

In the #kdrama #Doctors_kdrama , they introduced our female lead with this scene where an injured mob boss comes in to the emergency room, declines help from a female doctor, and she proceeds to kick all of the asses of his goons right there in the waiting room!

Lots of spoilers in this video for the mob boss storyline across multiple episodes.

February 24: most memorable surprise ending that still fits the story

From the shows I've seen this past lunar year, I would say the #cdrama #LaterILaughed and who she ends up with.

From any show I've watched? I would say the first season of the cdrama #JoyOfLife had the most surprise ending, that somehow resolved in season 2!

February 25: most memorable piggy back ride

I went over all the dramas I watched in the past lunar year and none stuck out to me. (I thought one happened in the #jdrama #CinderellaCloset but a quick review showed it did not!)

So the most memorable piggy back ride I've seen was in the #cdrama #HiddenLove where she is crying-drunk, barfs on her love interest, and even bewilderedly admits she thinks her chest is too flat. 😅

#ADramaLunies2026
February 26: most memorable parent character?

The female lead's father in the #cdrama #ThisThrivingLand . The series opens with the FL being kidnapped by bandits on her wedding day and her father has to make the decision to sell some of his land to pay her ransom. Land or daughter: which is more important to him? Well, she never forgets his decision. 😉😂 (he's on the right in pic)

The dynamics of his marriage later in the series was very unexpected for me, too! 😳

#ADramaLunies2026
February 27: most memorable umbrella moment

In the #cdrama #LoveInTime the main couple exist months apart on the same timeline, but occupy the same time and space for about an hour at night, before disappearing to their own time.

This gets tricky when it is raining outside or when one disappears along with their umbrella.

Around 1:00 mark in this trailer

#ADramaLunies2026
February 28: most innovative expression of emotion

In the #kdrama #TheGreatQueenSeondeok , Yushin is her right-hand man through most of it. At the beginning, if he is frustrated or mad or sad or needs to think, he went out and hit a rock with a stick. Repeatedly. Hundreds of times. 😂 That same rock. For years!

March 1: most memorable romance with an older couple (40 & up)

There's been much said for the younger couple in the #cdrama #ToTheWonder , but the mom has her own story to tell that includes romance. (She's furthest right in the image)

With her hair tied back, big clompy boots, and a fierce temper, surviving by herself, caretaking for her own mother all these years can be lonely, even as she thrives. And, during a drunken escape, a man appears...
