A very eventful season of Magnificent Century! There were some lulls in this show but I wouldn't say it dragged the show down too much. This was a really long season so apologies if my memory of events isn't quite accurate.

The first season of Magnificent Century was pretty good. It was engaging. I'd say the only downside is how long the episodes are. I wish they broke them down; even 1 hr episodes would be nice.

This season ended on a huge cliffhanger.

This isn't a terribad drama, it just doesn't really have anything going for it that makes it worth watching. A drama for background watching.

Spoilers up to episode 13.

This was the last season to the Borgia series, wrapping up the story of the nuclear family of Rodrigo Borgia. I think it ended the series well enough, especially with the coda.

So this show was not as well made as I'd hoped it was, and yet I still couldn't really stop watching it. It definitely went for shock value over good acting or suspenseful plot. I haven't seen the other Borgias TV show featuring Jeremy Irons but I would hazard a guess that that was more well done than this show considering how much more popular that show was than this one was. That being said, I can't stop watching this mess of a family and will continue on to the next season lol.

I'd actually watched season 3 of Twenty-Four Hours first, so I'm kind of going backwards.

I think this season was fine, but since several of the main cast aren't typically variety staples like in season 3, it relied more on natural chemistry between the cast and also whether the games were fun.

I would definitely recommend this if you're a fan of any of the main cast, as there are definitely lots of fun moments of joking around, but I think this season was also decent for background watching.

This was a historical + thriller drama. I thought it was alright, it was a bit different from the historical Cdramas I'm used to, in terms of pacing and the story set up, but I think it was still generally a rich story.

It covered the story of King Sejong in his quest to create Hangul and the people who were for and against him.

Oof. I would not recommend this drama. It was a pretty amateurishly written crime drama. Only watch this while you're doing other things.

This drama was pretty fun :P I liked that it focused on the crime solving and the politics first and foremost.

I also really liked the relationships between the characters. This drama first came to my attention because it was originally a BL drama. While there were tropes in this drama, there wasn't so much focus on the relationship conflicts that it got in the way of the political thrillers and crime solving.

This show was okay, but its entertainment value was limited. I would only recommend this for people who like variety shows that feature children, as this show mostly put the focus on them.
