The Blossom Review

Hello, everyone! 👋

How have you been? Are you all ready for Christmas?🎄 If you don't celebrate Christmas, how has December been for you?

Over here, I'm getting ready for Christmas and, with the new year waiting for us right around the corner, I thought we could look back at 2025 and talk about our favourite shows of the year!

This week, I'm sharing with you my 10 favourite 2025 Korean dramas. Over on The Blossom Review, you'll find a complete Year In Review article in which we discuss all about the amazing (and... well, not-so-amazing) K-dramas that came out this year. Here's a link for you: theblossomreview.com/year-in-review-2025-korean-dr…

I hope you share your own favourites in the comments! 😊

If you celebrate it, merry Christmas! If you don't, happy holidays! ✨

Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Hello, there! 😊

How are you? Everything okay?

This week, we're talking about a... rare kind of K-drama: JTBC's The Dream Life of Mr Kim, which is available internationally on Netflix.

The Dream Life of Mr Kim isn't your run-of-the-mill story about a young and incredibly kind protagonist who overcomes the obstacles and gets the girl in the end. No, this is a story about an ahjussi, a middle-aged man who comes to realise that the world he was sold might not be the actual world that surrounds him. And what a fascinating journey he takes us on!

Let's talk about The Dream Life of Mr Kim together! Our video essay is now available 👇 and you can find our complete review (spoiler-free, huh?) here too: theblossomreview.com/jtbc-the-dream-life-of-mr-kim…

Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you soon!

Hello, everyone! 👋

How are you today?

Confession time: I'm a huge (like, MASSIVE) Lee Jun-ho fan. I've been a fan of his for quite some time now 🥰


Oh well! 🤭

So it comes as no surprise that I was counting down the days for tvN's Typhoon Family, which also stars one of my favourite actresses ever, the marvellous Kim Min-ha. After the last episode of Typhoon Family, which came out last Sunday, I decided to break down this narrative to try to understand what works and what doesn't work about it.

Could it be that my expectations were too high? Or Typhoon Family really wasn't the K-drama it could've been? 🤔 That's what we're discussing this week on The Blossom Review!

Our full review is now available on The Blossom Review: theblossomreview.com/tvn-typhoon-family-review/ Or you can watch our video essay below 👇

Have a wonderful weekend! 😊

Hello, everyone! 👋

How are you all?

Believe it or not, December is right around the corner! Isn't it always a tad shocking to realise that another year has passed us by? 😮

Over here, I've been preparing some year-in-review articles so we can talk about the good (and not-so-good) stories that 2025 had to offer us. While I work on that, we're discussing nine new K-dramas that are bringing 2025 to a close on The Blossom Review this week. You can find our complete calendar here: theblossomreview.com/new-k-dramas-coming-out-in-de…

Which of these new stories will you be following? What are your thoughts on the world of Japanese and Korean dramas in 2025?

If you celebrate it, I hope you're enjoying your Thanksgiving holiday alongside your loved ones. If you don't, I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead! 🍂

Next week, we're coming back with a brand-new review -- can you guess which K-drama we'll be talking about? 🤔

Hello, there! 😊

How are you today?

This week, we're talking about AbemaTV's Miss King, a recent but not-so-popular J-drama available on Netflix.

Stunningly cinematic and with a narrative much more layered than I'd expected, Miss King is an amazing, gritty story of a young woman who needs to master her emotions to defeat the world that has always tried to silence her. Let me tell you more about it in our weekly video!

Our complete review of Miss King can be found here: theblossomreview.com/miss-king-netflix-review/

But if you're more of a rom-com kind of person, remember that we reviewed TBS's Love is for the Dogs over on Substack too: theblossomreview.substack.com/p/love-is-for-the-do…

Have you watched Miss King? Would you like to give it a try in the future? 🤔

Have a marvellous weekend and I'll see you very soon! ✨

Hello, everyone! 😊

How's it going?

A couple of weeks ago, NTV's The Greatest Teacher arrived on Netflix. The show isn't really anything new -- it originally came out in Japan back in 2023. But, since I'm a fan of NTV's Mr Hiiragi's Homeroom and OCN's Class of Lies, I decided to give it a shot.

If you're wondering if The Greatest Teacher is worth a watch, I hope you stop by our -- spoiler-free! -- video essay this week. We're talking about the themes, the pros and cons of this Matsuoka Mayu-led drama.

Extra cookie points because Matsushita Kouhei (yes, from After School Doctor!) is in it! 🥰 [and spoilers: he plays the best husband ever!]

Have you watched The Greatest Teacher? Would you like to give it a watch in the future? I hope you share your own thoughts and ideas in the comments!

Have a wonderful day today and a marvellous weekend ahead! ✨

Hello there! 👋

How are you?

Is it getting colder where you live? Or warmer? Oh well, I hope November has been treating you well so far!

This week, we're talking about JTBC's My Youth, a romantic dramedy that slowly turned into a melodrama. The question here isn't whether this is a "good" or "bad" story, but what *kind* of story My Youth tried to be 🤔

We discussed the strengths and weaknesses of My Youth in our weekly review. I really hope you stop by and share your own thoughts and ideas about it! 😊

Have a wonderful weekend ahead! ✨

Hello, everyone! 👋

How are you?

October was a bit of a messy month, so I'm more than ready to enjoy the beautiful autumnal colours this November.

The last week of the month is always busy, which is why I wasn't able to share our weekly video essay/review last Thursday. But I haven't forgotten y'all, of course!

Last Wednesday on The Blossom Review (.com), we talked about new K-dramas coming out in November -- and it seems that we have an intense month ahead. Here are some of the new Korean dramas being released in the next few weeks. I wonder which ones will be your favourites!

Have a lovely weekend and I'll definitely see you next week! 😊

Hello, there! 👋

How have you been?

After a bit of a chaotic week, I'm back to talk about a show that saved my little heart last weekend: Netflix's Romantics Anonymous!

I'd been looking forward to Romantics Anonymous for a really long time -- after all, there's nothing I love more than a good ol' Korea-Japan television combo. But I would've never expected to adore it so sincerely and so wholeheartedly in the way that I did ❤️

So, this week, let me tell you why Romantics Anonymous is such a special story. For a more detailed review, you can also stop by The Blossom Review: theblossomreview.com/romantics-anonymous-netflix-r…

Have a wonderful weekend! ✨

The Blossom Review

Hi, everyone! 👋

How are you today?

This week, we're talking about Netflix's Genie, Make a Wish. Maybe because everyone had such high expectations for it, the show has had a lukewarm reception since its release last Friday. Some people loved it, some people couldn't stand it.

So is it really that terrible? 🤔

I wouldn't say so. This week's video is a tad different from usual: the first half is an overall review (spoiler-free) and the second is an analysis of the show's core theme (contains spoilers). So whether you've watched it or not, I hope you stop by so we can talk about it together!

Have a wonderful weekend! ✨
