The Monthly Recap: January 2023

Posted February 7, 2023 by Rowena in Features | 2 Comments

The Monthly Recap posts are a way for me to take a look back and reflect on my previous month in Korean dramas. I always lose track of what I want to watch and I need these posts to keep me honest with my damn self because I be forgetting shit. So let’s start this recap, shall we?

I wasn’t expecting to be as busy as I was in the month of January. I was in Utah and then flew into L.A. for some family stuff and by the time that I got home, I was too exhausted mentally to focus on any drama watching so February started off really slow…but even with how busy I was in January, I watched hella dramas.

Here’s a rundown of what my month looked like. Check it out…

Actors that Stood Out

Jung Sung Il from The Glory: This guy was a pretty big highlight for me while watching The Glory. I watched the show for Lee Do Hyun and was pleasantly surprised at the introduction of Ha Do Young. He was fine as hell and I’m going to need him to not be a bad guy. Please, please, please don’t be a bad guy.

Cha Eun Woo from Island: Cha Eun Woo as Priest Yohan was such a vibe. He was such a delightful part of the first season. The show, for the most part was on the dark side and Yohan provided a little sunlight that went a long way and I just really liked his character.

Park Jin Young from He is Psychometric: I watched this show randomly with Therese and we were both so smitten with Park Jin Young in it. He was so handsome and just kept getting more handsome and more handsome with each passing episode. Even after the show ended we were still smitten with him. He fine as hell.

  1. I seriously need to find some shows to watch as I haven’t watched anything in weeks that was properly good, I don’t think I can count show rewatches I’ve been doing. I did do a lot of reading last month, though, so i imagine it all balances out and I’ve been playing video games. I can’t do everything. I feel like January flew by and I’m already struggling to remember what I got up to.

    • Hey you! When you’re not reading as much as I am, it’s a lot easier to find the time to watch shows. I’ve stopped forcing myself to read and just read my book club books and whatever catches my fancy. You’re right, it does all balance out after all is said and done so no worries.

      January did fly by and so did I! I was flying all over the west coast. February is for staying my ass at home, haha. I’ll be catching up with all of your life updates on your blog so when you remember, don’t forget to blog about it! haha.
