Introduction

Hello everyone and welcome to Naija Noona.

My name is Tope, I am Nigerian born and raised (mostly), I’ve been living in Canada since 2005 and I am Korean at heart. I fell in love with K Dramas after my husband stumbled upon Moon Embracing the Sun on Netflix and I have not looked back since. I have now seen over 120 different Korean tv shows and 30 Korean movies and I have no plans on stopping 😊.

I started this blog because before starting a new show, I spend a lot of time looking up reviews and lists to help me pick a show, so I’ve decided to do reviews of my own to help out someone else like me scouring the web for proper reviews (not counting the one-liners on DramaFever).

You’re welcome to comment with reviews or opinions or recommendations on shows I should watch and review.


Kumawo!

Record Of Youth

Image
  Title : Record of Youth Genre : Romance, Life, Youth, Drama Leads : Park Bo Gum, Park So Dam, Byeon Woo Seok Premise : Model and makeup artist fall in love while struggling with family pressures and expectations and growing pains as a youth making a life for themselves. Rating  ★★★★☆ (4.5) Describe the show with a hashtag : #MostUnnecessaryBreakupEver Reasons to watch Beautiful visuals Relatable family issues Couple Chemistry Reasons to skip Unnecessary Breakup Unnecessary love triangle Opinions SPOILER ALERT!!!! This drama started so well! I was pained by the last two episodes. This was a refreshing slice-of-life drama. With everyday characters you could actually imagine existing in real life. There's family drama but nothing over the top. The female lead is strong-willed but not at all annoying, and the male lead is not toxic or douchey. The friendships are portrayed realistically, as we know there can be jealousy among friends, but all issues were resolved very well. The ...

  Title : Cafe Minamdang Genre : Mystery, Comedy, Romance, Ensemble Cast Leads : Seo In Guk, Oh Yeon Seo, Kwak Shi Yang, Kang Mi Na Premise : A disgraced former profiler works as a conman while trying to solve the case that brought him down. A determined detective works hard to solve her brother's murder. The two work together to find a serial killer that haunts their lives. Will romance ensue? Rating  ★★★★ (4) Describe the show with a hashtag : #OhNoYeonSeo Reasons to watch Seo In Guk The Cafe Minamdang team Keep you on your toes mystery Reasons to skip Extremely unpleasant and annoying female lead No chemistry between the ML & FL Opinions SPOILER ALERT!!!! I should preface this by saying that I LOVE Seo In Guk and do not at all like Oh Yeon Seo...at least the roles she has played in other dramas. That said, I think many viewers would agree that her character in this drama was the worst part of the drama. I won't throw all the blame on her shoulders, though...

My Man Is Cupid

Image
  Title : My Man is Cupid Genre : Mystery, Comedy, Romance, Fantasy Leads : Jang Dong Yoon, Nana, Park Ki Woong Premise : Cupid falls for a woman who is VERY unlucky in love. Is their romance destined or doomed, with a serial killer on the loose? Rating  ★★★ (3) Describe the show with a hashtag : #CGAyeyaiyai  Reasons to watch Good looking cast Well-written female lead...mostly Good "palette cleanser" drama (when you're in a K-drama slump) Reasons to skip Weird pacing Opinions SPOILER ALERT!!!! I picked this drama because I wanted an easy watch. Nothing too dramatic, but with a good plot and cute. It kinda checked all those boxes, but the weird pacing threw me off a bit. There weren't any major cliffhangers, and they started revealing things early in the drama, but somehow, although it felt like a lot was happening, the drama wasn't progressing at a steady pace.  My second issue with the drama was despite showing the female lead making smart choices, they though...
