Dreaming of a Freaking Fairy Tale (2024) [-] South Korean comedy romance with some loose Cinderella elements. Shin Jae-rim (Pyo Ye-jin) is the stepdaughter to a mom with two girls but although Jae-rim thinks of herself as unwanted mom loves her and her sisters treat Jae-rim like one of them.

Jae-rim, who's had many menial jobs, finally gets the dream gig at Cheongdam Heaven, a rich playboy club run by Moon Cha-min (Lee Jun-young) who has been taught by his father that women will betray you so Cha-min is determined to treat every woman as he would a rock. Except Jae-rim is so annoying to Cha-min but they made a bet and he had to hire her.

Naturally as they interact more they start to see positive attributes in the other. Cha-min's "fiancée" Ban Dan-ah (Song Ji-woo) sees Jae-rim as a rival to remove. Dan-ah is much more into actually marrying Cha-min while he agreed for it to be a pretend engagement that lasts forever so that he doesn't have to deal with other women...

The humor is a bit more cringy than usual. There's a narrator that tries to make the whole story as a fairy tale analogue. It's a 10 episode series (each of 45 minutes so a bit shorter than usual) and the ending part came very quick. I guess the way the comedic parts were done the romantic parts didn't grab me. It is a series that does have some ok moments but way below average.


Sheriff Country s1 (2025) [/] I finished watching season 1 (episodes 7 to 20). I guess it's better than my impression after six episodes. Even though an episodic format there are subplots that last several episodes and bigger subplots that went through the whole season. Maybe a bit too reliant on 2-parters (including a 2-part crossover with the older Fire Country series which this one is a spin-off). The two-parters did have more action, shootings and explosions than typical episodes. Overall a nice series though I probably won't watch any more.

Wheel of Fortune Daily (2024) [-] A stripped down Wheel of Fortune where all you're doing is solving daily puzzles of various types. Bonus Round - where you pick three more letters and a vowel then guess the phrase. Punch Out - You can reveal up to five tiles one at a time and solve at any time. Toss Up - Each phrase is slowly revealed and solve as many phrases as you can in 30 seconds. You can also play against online players... I'm not a WoF fan.
