2022 KDrama Faves

Closest thing i have seen to Mr. Queen ever. Fast pacing, excellent chemistry between leads with their high chaotic energy and angsty moments, silly, surprisingly raunchy at times comedy in a drama that does not take itself too seriously and yet delivers better in everything than most serious sageuk's.

a sadly very overlooked/underrated slice of life kdrama from this year (or rather published this year, produced in 2020/2021) with a cute romance in it (on the side). It's focus is full on the people/characters working in the salon and their story, friendship/rivalry, experiences tho, with smart social commentary woven in.  Every episode has a different theme that suits perfectly not only to their working field but also what the characters are going thru at the moment/life lessons for both characters and viewers. It is a very light, warm watch with some more heavier topics (suicide/transphobia, bullying) in between, but it never gets too heavy. Very stress-free watch, like vacation from life and a perfect palate cleanser after a dense/dark kdrama-watch. Beautifully written (the narration dialogue, so good) and good humor too.  i loved the salon squad so much <3

Solely due to my love for introvert dork ML Jiho/GKP tbh. I mean, look at him
