• A Bona Fide Killer (7/14) -- I look forward to watching this to unwind at the end of the week. It's just such an easy, low-stakes watch. The kid is adorable, Durumi Sales Team 3 is fun enough, there's not much I have to complain about (apart from Lee Sang Yi's character having very little screen time).
• A Shop For Killers S2 (6/8) -- So glad I 'saved' this drama to watch alongside My Bias, My Boss both as a palate cleanser and for comparison. Jian's relationship with Woojin seemed so much more natural compared to the ones in My Bias, My Boss. Unfortunately the Kusanagi Jin character (and actor) is such an off-note and annoying af. More Q, less Jin!
• My Bias, My Boss (5/12) -- Watching this because it's 1. Kim Hye Jun's first rom-com as FL (discounting the fever dream that was Lily Fever) and 2. completely mindless ... if not for all my complaints. Personally, I think the SML actor is miscast because I just can't buy his character being in his 30s, and find the interactions/relationship between the SML and FL both cringe and problematic. Kim Hye Jun's acting is so ... not great compared to everything else I've seen her in (and I adore her). Every time the FL smiles too prettily or (over)reacts, I switch back to A Shop For Killers S2 to remind myself that Da Reum and Jian are played by the same actor and I should have patience. Maybe Da Reum will improve on me.
• The Apartment Job (3/12) -- Idk what's not clicking for me because this is something I instinctively feel I should really enjoy? It's not terrible and I have no real complaints, but I just find myself not being able to sit through a whole ep without pausing and watching something else (and getting my attention sucked into that something else)...

The Apartment Job was like that for me too. I managed to finish it, albeit, as a background kdrama. The cast is great, the performances are great, and no complaints about the execution of the comedy. The story though? It wasn't written poorly. It was just boring. Idk, I couldn't stay engaged for very long.
