  • 10 Kdrama Rom Coms Streaming on Amazon Prime in 2025

    10 Korean Rom-Coms You Should Be Watching on Amazon Prime Right Now

    I’m here to guide you through the labyrinth of romantic comedy K-dramas currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Grab your snacks, your cozy blanket, and maybe even a skeptical cat (I have my cat Moji to keep me company in my forays through kdrama land), because this list is a wild ride.

    1. My Man Is Cupid

    Imagine being a literal cupid who accidentally shoots himself with his own arrow. Cheon Sang-hyuk’s mishap leads to him falling in love for real, and hilarity ensues. Jang Dong-yoon is the cupid in question, and honestly, he’s so endearing that Moji paused mid-lick to stare at the screen, clearly approving. Nana plays the human love interest, who is just trying to live her life until this wingless wonder shows up. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to see an immortal being struggle with human emotions, this one’s for you.

    The show’s whimsical premise is bolstered by its clever writing and heartfelt moments. Cheon Sang-hyuk’s journey to navigate human love is both comical and touching, providing plenty of laugh-out-loud scenes. Nana’s character is no damsel in distress either—her pragmatic approach to dealing with this divine disaster adds an extra layer of charm. Even Moji, who normally reserves his approval for tuna cans, seemed captivated by the quirky narrative.


    2. No Gain No Love

    Son Hae-young hates losing money more than I hate running out of popcorn during a pivotal scene. Enter Kim Ji-wook, who avoids conflict like Moji avoids my attempts at cuddling. Their contract marriage is full of awkward yet swoony moments that will have you questioning your own financial decisions. Shin Min-a and Kim Young-dae have the kind of chemistry that makes you believe in love, or at least in the power of spreadsheets.

    This drama doesn’t just stop at being funny; it also dives into the emotional complexities of trust and relationships. Son Hae-young’s obsession with financial prudence leads to some hilarious misunderstandings, but her journey of self-discovery is what truly makes this show special. Moji, ever the discerning critic, gave it a reluctant nod of approval—or maybe he was just mesmerized by the shiny screen.


    3. Spice Up Our Love

    If you liked “No Gain No Love,” here’s its spicy cousin. It’s a spin-off that focuses on the story of the 2nd couple from “No Gain No Love.” This OTT farcical fantasy isn’t appropriate for family viewing, although it’s technically PG .

    A CEO and a nutritionist fall in love while navigating corporate shenanigans. Lee Sang-yi and Han Ji-hyun bring enough charm to make you forget that you’re overdue for your own meal prep. Moji, naturally, was unimpressed by the lack of catnip representation but begrudgingly stayed in the room for the drama’s wit and banter.

    “Spice Up Our Love” isn’t just about romance; it’s a delightful blend of humor, tension, and heartfelt moments. The dynamic between the leads keeps you hooked, and the side characters add an extra layer of fun. The corporate setting feels fresh, and the pacing keeps things exciting without being overwhelming. Even Moji, who’d normally be asleep by the halfway mark, seemed intrigued by the colorful visuals and sharp dialogue.

    4. True to Love

    This is the story of Yeon Bo-ra, a love coach who can fix anyone’s love life except her own. Watching her stumble through her romantic misadventures feels like looking in a funhouse mirror—distorted but weirdly relatable. Yoo In-na and Yoon Hyun-min are the stars, and they deliver comedic timing that made Moji flick his tail with what I assume was reluctant admiration.

    What sets “True to Love” apart is its mix of humor and introspection. Yeon Bo-ra’s internal monologues provide nuggets of wisdom wrapped in sarcasm, making her both relatable and endearing. The romantic tension builds steadily, keeping you invested in her chaotic journey. Moji, ever the cynic, seemed to approve of Bo-ra’s sharp wit—though he may have just been amused by my reactions.

    5. Wedding Impossible

    Picture this: a wealthy heir faking a marriage to an actress. The premise is as ridiculous as it is delightful. Jeon Jong-seo and Moon Sang-min bring this absurdity to life with so much flair that I found myself rooting for them despite my better judgment. Moji, on the other hand, gave me a side-eye that said, “This is why humans can’t be trusted.”

    The drama’s charm lies in its ability to balance humor with genuine emotional moments. The leads’ chemistry is electric, and the story’s twists keep you guessing. The over-the-top situations might make you roll your eyes, but they’re so entertaining that you won’t care. Moji’s tail swished in what I can only describe as reluctant amusement—a high compliment from him.

    6. Marry My Husband

    This time-travel revenge rom-com has Park Min-young seeking payback in the most creative way possible: encouraging her friend to marry her cheating husband. It’s petty, it’s satisfying, and it’s everything I didn’t know I needed. Even Moji—who usually reserves judgment for my snack choices—gave an approving nod. Or maybe he was just sleepy. Who’s to say?

    The show excels at blending melodrama with moments of lightheartedness. The time-travel aspect adds an intriguing twist, and the characters’ emotional journeys are compelling. Park Min-young shines in her role, delivering a performance that’s both fierce and vulnerable. Moji, ever the drama king, seemed riveted by the high-stakes revenge plot—or maybe he just liked the background music.

    7. Her Private Life

    Park Min-young is back as an art curator by day and an idol fangirl by night. The duality of her life is chaotic in the best way, especially when Kim Jae-wook enters the picture as her boss-slash-love interest. Watching their worlds collide is like watching Moji try to catch a laser pointer: confusing, exhilarating, and weirdly heartwarming.

    The drama’s charm lies in its relatability. Sung Deok-mi’s struggles to balance her personal passions with her professional responsibilities resonate on a deeply human level. The romantic tension between her and her boss keeps you glued to the screen, while the humor provides a welcome balance. Moji, ever the critic, seemed to enjoy the absurdity of the fangirl antics—or perhaps he was just amused by my laughter.

    8. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon

    Do Bong-soon is a pint-sized powerhouse with superhuman strength, and her job as a bodyguard for a CEO leads to some of the most hilarious and heart-fluttering moments in K-drama history. Park Bo-young and Park Hyung-sik make such a cute couple that even Moji’s icy heart melted a little. (I saw it in his eyes. Don’t argue with me.)

    This drama is an absolute joyride. The mix of action, comedy, and romance keeps you on your toes, while the lead’s journey of self-acceptance adds depth. The supporting characters are equally entertaining, providing a well-rounded cast that enhances the story. Even Moji, who rarely tolerates action scenes, seemed entertained—though he might have just been plotting his next nap.

    9. True Beauty

    High school drama meets makeup tutorials in this story of a girl who reinvents herself through cosmetics. The love triangle featuring Moon Ga-young and Cha Eun-woo is so intense that Moji actually hissed during one particularly dramatic scene. It’s that good, folks.

    The series tackles themes of self-esteem and societal beauty standards with a blend of humor and sincerity. The characters’ growth is both heartwarming and inspiring, making this a must-watch for anyone who’s ever felt insecure. Moji, with his naturally flawless fur, seemed unimpressed by the makeup montages but stayed for the drama.

    If you enjoy this drama, season 2 is coming to Netflix in 2025.

    10. Doom at Your Service

    A supernatural being and a woman with a terminal illness walk into a drama…and the result is an emotional rollercoaster with unexpected laughs. Park Bo-young (yes, her again) and Seo In-guk will make you believe in love, fate, and the power of existential crises. Moji watched the whole thing with his ears perked up, which in cat terms is the highest compliment.

    The drama’s unique premise is executed with finesse, blending fantasy elements with deeply human emotions. The chemistry between the leads is magnetic, and the storytelling keeps you hooked from start to finish. Moji, ever the philosopher, seemed to appreciate the existential themes—or maybe he was just contemplating his next meal.

    So there you have it—10 K-dramas to spice up your streaming life. Whether you’re in the mood for revenge, supernatural shenanigans, or just some good old-fashioned swooning, this list has you covered. And if you don’t believe me, just ask Moji. He’s got impeccable taste—except when it comes to his kibble.

  • I’m Seriously Conflicted About Love Your Enemy

    If you haven’t seen Love Your Enemy: it’s a classic K-drama cocktail of misunderstandings, absurdly attractive people, and emotional whiplash. Some parts are questionable, but you can’t stop going back for more.

    First off, we’ve got our Female Lead, who spends half the show bickering like a toddler denied a nap. I get it—there’s a whole will-they-won’t-they vibe going on here, but it’s hard to root for someone whose primary form of communication is smacking the Male Lead on the arm like he’s her little brother stealing her fries.

    And then there’s ML, who starts off acting like a child himself, but thankfully grows up halfway through. By episode 10, you’re shouting at your screen, “Just TALK to each other!” But nope. Instead, they exchange longing stares and dramatic flashbacks.

    The younger versions of our leads are the gold-star students of this show. Their chemistry is off the charts.

    The young ML is so expressive and charming that I found myself thinking, “Why don’t we just stay in flashback mode forever?” The younger FL is vibrant and relatable, which only highlights how the adult characters feel like they’re stuck in emotional quicksand.

    The younger couple could teach a masterclass in rom-com dynamics, while the older versions are… well, let’s just say they’re trying to work with the script they were given.

    The supporting cast? Equal parts delightful and infuriating. There are drunk teachers, quirky villagers, and side characters whose sole purpose seems to be acting like they’re in an entirely different genre of show.

    Some moments are genuinely heartwarming, like the school nurse’s unexpectedly deep friendship arc, while others leave you wondering if you’ve accidentally started watching a sitcom about village life.

    The plot itself is classic K-drama: overly complicated and relying heavily on things that could be resolved with one honest conversation. But no, we’re treated to secret letters, awkward encounters, and a series of pranks that make you wonder if these people ever graduated from middle school emotionally.

    Despite its flaws, Love Your Enemy is surprisingly wholesome. Despite the occasional slapstick absurdity and frustrating lack of character growth, it’s got heart. It’s about finding connection, rediscovering joy, and remembering how to communicate—even if it takes 10 episodes of sneaking around and dramatic sighing to get there.

    This show is like eating a giant bowl of sugary cereal for dinner: it’s not high art, but it’s oddly comforting. Sure, you’ll roll your eyes, shout at the screen, and maybe question why no one can just act like an adult, but you’ll also laugh, tear up (I’ll admit to it), and feel like the world is a little brighter.

    It’s family-friendly, uplifting, and has just enough chaos to keep you coming back. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Would I let my (completely theoretical) kids watch it? Sure.

    Would I like to secretly rewatch the younger couple’s scenes while eating ice cream straight from the carton? Sure. Fortunately, someone else had the same idea. See below… Even if you don’t watch the drama, these two are too adorable to miss out on.

    A note from Mochi (my cat)…

    Let me tell you, as a discerning feline, Love Your Enemy was a trial. First off, if I’d had to endure one more episode of people refusing to just say what they mean, I was this close to swiping Mimi’s remote off the table.

    But the young ML? I’d give him a slow blink of approval any day.

    The mature FL’s character? Ugh. She’s the kind of human who’d forget to refill my water bowl because she’s too busy bickering over nonsense. If she were in my domain, I’d be swatting at her ankles until she got her act together.

    And those side characters? If that drunk teacher comes near me with that soju, I’ll hiss him right off the screen.

    Nobody messes with my zen.

  • When the Stars Gossip: Coming January 4th, 2025

    The Stars Gossip and So Does Mochi

    I first heard about When the Stars Gossip while scrolling through the endless abyss of social media, where cats doing the cha-cha routinely outrank world news. Naturally, I turned to my cat, Mochi, who was stretched out in his usual position of maximum disinterest on my keyboard, and said, “Mochi, Lee Min-ho is coming back to TV.” Mochi responded with a flick of his tail that either meant “fascinating” or “I don’t care, human, unless he’s delivering tuna.”

    So here’s the scoop: When the Stars Gossip is a space-themed romantic office drama. Yes, you heard me right—space. Office drama. Together. I can only assume there will be staplers floating in zero gravity and astronauts holding passive-aggressive team-building exercises while wearing helmets. The drama premieres on Jan. 4 and reportedly cost 50 billion won to make, which is about 49 billion more than I spend on Mochi’s overpriced cat treats.

    Lee Min-ho, the K-drama legend who could probably generate electricity just by arching an eyebrow, plays Gongryong, a mysterious visitor to the space station. His co-star, Kong Hyo-jin, portrays Eve Kim, the station’s no-nonsense commander. Mochi and I agreed that a no-nonsense commander is essential for any workplace, especially one in outer space, where nonsense can lead to things like catastrophic decompression or karaoke contests gone awry.

    Here’s where things get spicy: Gongryong has a girlfriend, Choi Go-eun (Han Ji-eun), who is a celebrity heiress. Also onboard is Kang Kang-su (Oh Jung-se), a wealthy scientist. So, to recap, we have mystery missions, romantic entanglements, and science experiments all happening in zero gravity. This show is clearly gunning for all the awards, including “Most Likely to Involve a Dramatic Airlock Scene.”

    The director, Park Shin-woo, explained at a press conference that the show aims to explore Big Questions like “Do rules still matter in space?” and “Why does everything float, except my paycheck?” According to Park, a team of green-suited wire-flying experts helped the actors simulate zero gravity, which sounds like the kind of thing Mochi would watch on repeat if it involved lasers.

    Speaking of actors, Lee Min-ho said this project marks his first Korean drama in five years. Apparently, he’s been doing a lot of soul-searching in his 30s, trying to “give something back.” I assume this means he’s now donating his time to teaching mortals how to look brooding while saving the world. Meanwhile, Kong Hyo-jin revealed she was intrigued by how the drama focuses on “everyday lives in space,” which raises questions like, “Do astronauts argue about the thermostat?” and “Is coffee any less bitter in zero gravity?”

    As I finished reading the press release, Mochi sauntered over and perched on my lap, giving me the kind of look that says, “Even I know this is a must-watch, and I only watch bird documentaries.” So mark your calendars, folks. On Jan. 4, Mochi and I will be front and center, ready for a drama that’s as ambitious as it is weightless. Lee Min-ho in space? Consider us launched.

  • 17 Kdrama Fanmade Music Videos: The Greatest Multifandom Timesuck You’ll Ever Love

    My cat Mochi and I are here to discuss one of humanity’s finest achievements: fanmade music videos. These are the YouTube gems where someone with a PhD-level understanding of heartbreak edits together clips from Kdramas and sets them to a song so emotionally charged it could melt a glacier.

    Let me warn you up front: these videos are a massive timesuck. If you value things like productivity, sleep, or eating meals on time, you should absolutely avoid them. However, if you enjoy sitting on the couch with a blanket, crying over characters you don’t even know while your cat purrs judgmentally at your emotional instability, then boy, are you in for a treat. These videos are basically a giant, glittery dopamine hit. One second, you’re feeling fine, and the next, you’re emotionally ruined by some genius who decided to pair Crash Landing on You clips with Adele’s “Someone Like You.”

    The real magic of these videos isn’t just the editing (which, frankly, deserves an Oscar), but their uncanny ability to unite characters and storylines that have no business existing in the same universe. A great multifandom MV will seamlessly blend Goblin with Vincenzo, toss in a dash of Itaewon Class, and somehow convince you that they all live in the same tragic, slow-motion world where everyone has perfect hair and the only way to communicate is through longing stares and dramatic hand-holding.

    And let’s talk about the music. It’s always either heartbreakingly sad (“Hello, Coldplay, my old friend”) or shockingly upbeat, like “Shut Up and Dance.” You wouldn’t think a song about impulsively dancing would work with Descendants of the Sun, but somehow it does. You’ll go from weeping over Kim Soo-hyun wiping a single tear to cheering because that beat drop! And yes, the beat drop is essential. Without it, these videos are just emotional appetizers. But when the beat drops and IU turns her head in slow-mo while flames explode in the background? That’s a full-course meal of feelings.

    Of course, these videos are designed to destroy your schedule. You think, I’ll just watch one before bed, and suddenly it’s 2 a.m., Mochi is asleep on your keyboard, and you’re in the middle of an epic MV where Park Seo-joon and Park Min-young seem to be communicating their love through perfectly-timed glances to the chorus of “Fix You.”

    So, why do we do this to ourselves? Because for five minutes, life feels like a Kdrama. The highs are higher, the heartbreaks are more beautiful, and even your cat seems to understand the complexities of love and fate. Mochi, of course, doesn’t care—he just wants more kibble. But you? You’ll be back tomorrow, ready to lose another hour to the glittery timesuck of multifandom MVs.

    Now, let’s hit play—right after I find Mochi’s favorite blanket to cry into.
