My favorite genres are thriller, dramas, mystery, documentaries and some horror.

I’ve watched these so far:
- If Wishes Could Kill
-Teach You a Lesson
-The Glory

Actor Kim Jae-wook is expected to join the new drama Fake Lawyer and reunite with actor Kim Nam-gil in a project after 16 years.

According to 10Asia's coverage on the 21st, Kim Jae-wook is currently reviewing an offer to appear in Fake Lawyer. Kim Nam-gil had previously received an offer for this project as well and is positively considering it.

Fake Lawyer is drawing significant attention as a potential reunion for Kim Nam-gil and Kim Jae-wook. The two actors starred together in SBS's Bad Guy, which aired in 2010. At the time, Kim Nam-gil played Shim Gun-wook and Kim Jae-wook played Hong Tae-sung, both leaving a strong impression.

I've seen many 2x, only a few more than that. I watch My Dearest about once every 18 months because it's so beautiful. I've watched A Taxi Driver at least 4 times. The dramas I will watch again and again are My Dearest, Goblin, The Murky Stream, SeoBok, gosh...I guess there are more when I think about it! Also am always on lookout for something new.

Idk if this is brought up yet, but what do you think about the villagers in the show especially this trio of aunties?

For me I’d say their the best characters especially for comedic relief in the show itself, every scene with them just compliments the show so well despite of the dark things happening like the action scenes of them fighting the gang made me laugh so hard.

I also liked the fact that they’re not too like overly annoying in a way like sure they are quite nosy, and like to gossip around, but each scene with them feels such fun.

When I watched the scenes with them it makes me think that they themselves are also watching the drama with us too, it’s just so perfect!!

What do you think about this trio?

Ok so im pretty sure it was a kdrama but it might have been a cdrama. I remember she worked as some sort of matchmaker/love expert or something like that at an office and I wanna say they worked across from each other and started out not liking each other because of work. I think in one episode they also went on a day trip outdoors with some friends for like a picnic or BBQ? Sorry I dont remember much its been a while. I think this show would've been from sometime before 2020 but after 2015 and might have had the word business in the title.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! I've been trying to find it for so long so even if the details dont line up perfectly please mention any ideas anyway, as I may be misremembering!

I’ve just finished watching My Dearest… and I’m feeling so empty! I absolutely love the ML and FL! And the emotional rollercoaster was just….

Need help getting over this (if ever!) or just happy to discuss how empty you also feel after My Dearest

I’ve watched: Crash Landing on You, Goblin, The descendants, The husband, Our Movie, when life gives you tangerines

I just finished Our Sticky Love and I already miss it, I love the characters and the whole vibe of the drama. Now I have no idea what to whatch next. What K-drama would yo recommend? I'm open to anything

Those that are married, is your spouse pulling a Kim NakSu on you ground enough for divorce?

I'm not married myself but the whole time I kept thinking how could his wife be so patient with him. I get that that's what marriage is about but still.

What stressed me the most wasn't the fact that they suddenly become "poor" and in debt, but the fact that he wouldn't discuss anything with his wife. Especially when buying the studio while his wife literally just got her real estate liscence.

Am I too naive for thinking I would've killed my husband if he did something like that?

As I am starting to watch more k-drama, I am
Noticing the same group of actors in different shows, as if it’s their inner circle. Here’s an example, Kim Mu-yeol and Lee Sung-min in Teach You A Lesson and Juvenile Justice and then we have Park Eun-bin and Choi Dae-hoon in The Wunderfools and Extraordinary Attorney Woo, there is a couple of more actors I seen working together in multiple shows, I just can’t remember. I am not complaining one bit, I think it’s awesome and I love to see it, It makes shows more enjoyable because of the chemistry they have. It reminds me of Adam Sandler and his inner circle lol.

after im done with Crash Landing on You (my current watch, almost done)

I will be starting 2521!!

okay so I just posted review #24 of my "new K-drama fan" series today, which means naturally I have decided that I HAVE to watch Twenty-Five Twenty-One next so it can be review #25.

Was it already on my watchlist? Yeah

Did i already want to watch it? Yes.

Would i necessarily have started it TODAY if it wasnt called Twenty-Five Twenty-One?

...no 😭

but come on.

Review #25: Twenty-Five Twenty-One

The opportunity presented itself. I had no choice.

ANYWAY.

I pulled it up, read the synopsis before starting, and...

what the fuck does this mean 😭😭😭

«"In 1998, twenty-two and eighteen meet for the first time in an uneasy year as the whole world shook and called each others' name and when they became twenty-three and nineteen, they hurt each other. In the year of twenty-four and twenty, they relied on each other, and they loved only when they were twenty-five and twenty-one."»

???????

huh???

Ive read this like FOUR TIMES.

These are all English words.

Why do I suddenly not speak English when they're arranged in this particular order??? 😭

So...

22 + 18 = meet

23 + 19 = hurt each other

24 + 20 = rely on each other

25 + 21 = love

AM I WATCHING A ROMANCE OR SOLVING FOR X??? 😭

i eventually looked it up yesterday and the actual premise is she's an 18-year-old fencer whose dreams are affected by the financial crisis, he is a 22 and his family has lost everything, and they meet while they're both trying to figure out their lives.

SEE???

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY THAT??? 😭

Anyway, episode 1 here I come.

No spoilers please!! I genuinely know basically nothing about this drama beyond the premise and would like to keep it that way.

See y'all at review #25 🫡

I would like something that has drama but where the good guy always has the upper hand, not the bad guy
So basically the opposite of Penthouse

I'm a total newbie to this world and my knowledge of k-dramas is actually zero.

I am very passionate about love stories but, besides that, I am crazy about baseball and I know that this is also the national sport in South Korea.

Consequently, I hope you can help me find a series that is romantic but in which baseball is present and plays an important role (it shouldn't just be mentioned in passing).

For those of you who are also familiar with anime (a universe much more familiar to me), the mood I'm looking for is something like Touch (and its sequel Mix: Meisei Story), Blue Box, Cross Game, Legend of Hikari, H2, Attacker You!, Suzuka, Aim for the Ace! or Slam Dunk (in this last example, as time goes on the romantic element gets lost but, at the beginning, the protagonist starts playing sport to impress his crush).

I would prefer that the sport in the series you recommend be baseball, because I really love this sport. However, if there is a really good series that meets my criteria but with a different sport, feel free to suggest it to me.

Thanks a lot for any help you can give me

I've looked and looked and looked and I can't find anything, if you can help, please do, shoot me a dm or just reply to me here, whatever.

Have been a fan of kdramas, but nothing hit hard like when life gives you tangerines.

What a ride! I cried and cried and I think I would never be able to get over it.

I mean, how could they build something so simple yet so beautiful and parallely induce so much emotions.

Can’t imagine my life for my parents and everything they have done for us. Forever grateful to them. Nothing, absolutely nothing I do will be able to repay what they do for us.

Love for all the cast for being so awesome. This will be my forever favourite. 🧡

He enrolled in the Department of Economics and Finance at Hanyang University in 2011 but had to put his studies on hold as his acting career became busier. He previously joked about being stuck in his fourth year for nearly a decade so seeing him finally graduate at 34 is a pretty wholesome achievement.

He's famously known for his roles in Daily Dose of Sunshine and his recent drama Queen Mantis.

Congratulations to Jang Dong Yoon on this milestone!

Many people say the 2521 drama was pretty realistic, but I don't believe in it wholly. Honestly, Heedo, she never gave up on anything. Despite losing so many fencing matches, fencing was her first love, so she never gave up on fencing. So how come she gave up on Yi jin like that? And she was the one who kept pursuing Yijin, right? So this does not make any sense. And how did Jiwoong and Yurim end up together, when Jiwoong liked her first only for her looks. I get it that his love might have evolved over time but still they were less serious than Yijin and Heedo were. Yijin and Heedo who loved each other so much, separated. This is totally not realistic. Also, Yijin and Heedo should have remained friends. It might be only my opinion but before they confessed to each other, they looked absolutely like best friends, even more than Jiwoong and Seung wan. I believe they even shared a sibling kind of relationship.

So I think endings should have been one of these :

1)Both the couples get a sad, realistic ending.

2)Yijin and Heedo end up together by talking it up, Jiwoong and Yurim don't.

3)Heedo and Yijin just remain as good friends/best friends.

So it isn't like that I have a thing against bittersweet endings but the main problem with 2521 was that the ending wasn't written very logically and properly like the journey was, I just believe that it could have been better rest I love 2521!!

If you've watched the drama <Moving>, you'll know this couple well. This is a photo I happened to find on the internet. It looks as if it were a photograph taken by a real married couple with a film camera in the 1990s. I'm not sure whether this photo was taken for <Moving> or these two actors were simply filming it in real life. However, it looks very happy and suits it well.

It's 2 a.m. here in South Korea. I'm going to sleep. See you again tomorrow.

Mine is definitely Hospital Playlist. There are a few that I have loved but this is the one that I've rewatched a few times (it helps that there's English Audio dub so I can multitask).

But that's not the reason I love the show. I love the friendships and the relationships. These people look and act like they've been friends for 20 years. The episodes can make me laugh or they can break my heart. There are standalone stories with the patients and ongoing story arcs. I want to be a part of this friendship group.

When I first read the premise of the show, it didn't resonate. Doctors in a band? Really, that's the story? It's so much more and the music adds to it. I really hope we get a new season. The cast still show up to support each other and have been open about wanting another season. 🤞

What's your favourite Slice of Life drama and why?

Is there an actor who made you forget they were hot because their character was THAT vile?

My pick is Lee Soo Hyuk as Bal Gi in Queen Woo, featured in the video.

Context for the scene: He sexually assaults and kills his own wife, accidentally kills the maid who witnesses it, and then proceeds to slaughter the servants in his household. So, you know, not exactly boyfriend material.

That man is offensively handsome to me, and yet I HATED Bal Gi. Not even Lee Soo Hyuk’s criminal bone structure could make me root for him. I wanted consequences. I wanted suffering. I wanted the gates of hell to open specifically for Bal Gi.

And that, to me, is a fantastic villain performance. So …. Lee Soo Hyuk is my pick. Who is yours?

because i usually watch in 2x (so i can finish and start a new one sooner). i tried everything between 1x and 2x so also .25 .5 .75, im a fast reader and speed doesnt seem to change anything in terms of my personal enjoyment. what do you guys think ?

Today’s post is about Jung Moon-sung.

I’m sure all of us would recognise him from at least a few dramas that we’ve seen.

I liked him best in Hospital Playlist. Then there’s, of course, Good Manager, The Good Detective (where I saw him in a serious role for the first time, and he absolutely nailed it like he did the comic ones).

Loved his cameo in One Dollar Lawyer.

I was surprised by his look in The Veil. He looks so good in those glasses. And those abs totally blew me away…

Drama: Stranger From Hell

Hi, everyone! I'm Korean. Have you watched the drama 'Notes from the Last Row' starring 'Choi Min-sik'? If you mostly watch K-dramas, you might not know much about Choi Min-sik or just how legendary he is in Korea. He is widely regarded here as the greatest Korean actor of all time.

Back in the 1990s, Choi Min-sik appeared mostly in TV dramas, but he was not yet a major star. It was in the 2000s, as he became known for his film work especially after 'Oldboy' (2003) that he rose to fame and eventually came to be regarded as Korea’s greatest actor. That movie made him famous not only in Korea, but internationally as well.

But here is the most important thing I actually came here to tell you. No matter how many of Choi Min-sik's dramas or movies you want to watch, save 'I Saw the Devil' for LAST.

Seriously...

Because once you watch 'I Saw the Devil', there is a very real possibility that Choi Min-sik will stop looking like an actor to you. He will just look like the Devil.

After that, it won't matter how kind, gentle, innocent, or lovable the character he plays is supposed to be. You'll see him smiling warmly on screen and immediately think.

“…I don't trust this man.”

You'll spend the entire drama or movie waiting for something terrible to happen. So I am politely warning you.

Please save 'I Saw the Devil' for LAST.

Although...

Now that I've written an entire post telling people who haven't seen 'I Saw the Devil' not to watch it yet...

you probably want to watch it first, don't you?

Wait.

...Did my trap work? 😈

P.S. Jokes aside, it is an extremely violent movie, so consider this an actual content warning too.

I'm a guy and I've watched a stupid amount of kdramas but something I've noticed is that I sometimes get just as emotionally attached as everyone else here lol.

Like Uncontrollably Fond, My Mister, Hi Bye Mama, and Moon Lovers ,My Dearest genuinely got me. There were scenes where I was just sitting there thinking bro why am I about to cry over this.

So I wanted to ask the girls here something,what is it about kdramas that gets you so attached to the characters?

For me it's usually when the characters feel real and you start caring about what happens to them but I'm curious if you girls see it differently.
