A few weeks ago, I started watching Love Next Door. I never went back to it. I toyed with the idea of watching the next season of Weak Hero, but I can’t bring myself to do it. I watched the first episode of Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha to see if I would still like it the second time. It’s somehow better than I remember, even though it’s already my favorite show.

Still, I was looking for something new. Since Love Next Door was still on my “continue watching” list, I started again.

While watching, I discovered that one of the stars is Jung So-min. She is, unquestionably, my favorite. I’ve only seen a couple other shows of hers (Alchemy of Souls and Because This Is My First Life), but I’m sold.

How do people normal decide which shows to watch? I occasionally find threads on Reddit, but my taste in shows is clearly different than those people. There are a few people at work who watch kdrama; we occasionally share recommendations. Unfortunately, my main source for recommendations is unavailable. Since a show can take 20-30 hours to finish, I would rather only watch recommended series.

Until I find a new source, maybe I’ll only watch shows starring Jung So-min. I think this is a safe plan.
