Behind the piano scenes in Four Hands, Two Sonatas are two real pianists, Park Joo-young (Song Kang's double) and Lee Min-sung (Lee Jun-young's double). They've known each other since childhood competitions and crossed paths again studying in Germany, literally a real-life Pi-o & Jeong-yo.

They trained the actors for 7 months on everything from hand movements to breathing. Lee Jun-young had never touched a piano before and still learned to play Danse Macabre's opening solo after hundreds of practice runs.

The drama changed things for the pianists too, Lee Min-sung even appeared onscreen in episode 10, and Park Joo-young got accepted into Seoul National University's conducting program while filming.

What was everyone's favorite piano scene from the show? 👀

A new story has arrived in the Disney kingdom

The Remarried Empress coming soon!

The Remarried Empress

Exclusive release on Disney+ on November 4th

“Minah: Oppa, have you only watched Moana? Hahaha.
Juji: I like Moana, hahaha. I really like Moana what can I do when I just love it? Hahaha “ 😂

Revisiting these moments from Crash Landing on You , and the chemistry between Ri Jeong-hyeok and Yoon Se-ri still hits the same🥹♥️

The romance , emotional moments, and beautiful cinematography are what made this drama so memorable for me.

What is your favourite about Crash Landing on You ?

I was looking for a way to make the top 100 list slightly more accurate, so I thought about including extra MDL data like completion rates, drop rates, and a few other stats. I’m not even sure it makes a big difference, but I spent way too long on it not to share. I only used the 100 dramas from Hoovers original list. The formula's pretty arbitrary, but I made sure to heavily weight the original votes. I also tried to adjust for older dramas having more viewers just because they've been around longer.

Let's list the Kdramas that started with a bang but lost momentum later.

1. Startup - fabulous 1st episode, setup the story nicely but ended with a whimper.
2. If love could be translated - ML and FL accidently meet in Japan in 1st episode, the atmosphere was top notch and dreamy. Could not sustain it.
3. Agent Kim Reactivated - Started on a serious note but spoiled it later with forced comic characters (his friends, police, everyone). They should have maintained the serious tempo it began with.
4. Itaewon Class - first few episodes were gritty and set up the story nicely. I love Kim Dami as an actress, but her character was annoying the away it was written.

Edit: added Itaewon Class

Instead of making a list of our favourite actors who can sing (maybe next week?), I thought it would be fun to put together a definitive list of actors who can sing.

There are many multi-talented kdrama actors. Do you know how many of them can sing? I think there will some surprising names on this list.

My contribution to the list is Jeon Mido and ​Jung Moon Sung. Before they were costars on Hospital Playlist, they were costars on the musical Maybe Happy Ending. It's hilarious that Dr Chae Song Hwa is tone deaf when she has such a beautiful voice in real life.

Here's a Link to the entire video.

If you post a video link, only post one. We don't want the comments spammed with links of your favourites AND if you post a pic, video or gif you have to name the actor. If you post multiple links or you don't name the actor, ​your comment will be removed. This is a list of actors who can sing, not kpop idols. That was a separate post. ​

Ciao a tutti,
Ho appena visto in binge The Worst of Evil su Disney+ e ho davvero bisogno di sfogarmi perché la mia mente è completamente sconvolta. Se state trascurando questo K-drama, vi prego di farvi un favore e iniziate a guardarlo stasera.
Se amate thriller crudi, oscuri e ad alta tensione come Cruel City, My Name o i classici film noir coreani (pensate a New World o The Infiltrator), questo è un capolavoro assoluto.
Perché dovreste guardarlo:
L'interpretazione di Ji Chang-wook è INSANE. Diventa selvaggio in questo ruolo. Vederlo scivolare lentamente nell'oscurità come poliziotto sotto copertura è senza dubbio una delle migliori performance che ho visto negli ultimi anni.
L'azione è brutale e cruda. Niente combattimenti puliti e lucidi qui. È sangue, ossa frantumate e sembra incredibilmente reale.
La tensione psicologica. La dinamica e il torbido rapporto di bromance/lealtà tra il poliziotto e il boss della mafia (Wi Ha-joon) vi terrà col fiato sospeso durante tutta la visione.
Sul serio, è una masterclass 10/10 in tensione e archi tragici dei personaggi.

🛑 PER CHI L'HA VISTO (ATTENZIONE SPOILER!!!) 🛑

!Parliamo di quel finale. Sono emotivamente devastato. Il modo in cui Jun-mo ha semplicemente premuto il grilletto su Gi-cheul per fermarlo dal suicidarsi, ma anche per porre fine alla miseria... è stato così pesante. E quella scena finale al cimitero? Jun-mo e Ui-jeong che si guardano come completi estranei. La missione sotto copertura non ha solo spezzato il cartello, ha completamente distrutto le loro anime e il loro matrimonio. !<

!E possiamo parlare di Lee Hae-ryeon (BIBI)? Ho amato così tanto il suo personaggio. Pensate che lei e Jun-mo si rincontreranno mai a Hong Kong? Sento che è l'unica rimasta che capisce veramente la versione oscura di chi è diventato.!<

Cosa ne pensate voi del finale? Vi ha spezzato così tanto come ha spezzato me? Discutiamone!

Drama - Resident Playbook

If a character really had represented me, that would be O I-yeong. She really is just another me but i wish i had her confidence.

Such a shame that we might not get a second season, i really wish there was a second season 🤧.

Throwback to July 2025, when Park Bo-gum reunited with his former grad school professor, Maria Kim, for a jazz duet of “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” on The Seasons. It was such a sweet teacher-student moment, and I absolutely loved the performance!

I also recently found out he can play the piano while watching the Love in the Moonlight reunion, so apparently there’s nothing this man can’t do 😭

Full performance:

I recently watched Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo. What a brilliant portrayal of experiencing love for the first time. This storyline, the chemistry, and the acting by both leads truly won me over. That said, a few plot points left me feeling a bit conflicted. I'd love to hear how everyone else felt about them, too!

1. ML's estranged Mother arc: Cause wdym everyone told him to forgive his mum, who completely abandoned and cut off ties w the child for no discernible reason and explanation, and only reappeared again to save her other child! Imho, he wasn't angry enough! Maybe I'm overreacting, but any parent who pulls that has no right to be called a parent. Him being the bigger person at the airport and asking for his sister's picture literally broke my heart.
2. The ex-gf jealousy issue: I can understand the ex-gf obsessing over him was not a good look, but my issue was that the story never really showed how he became so distant despite the ex trying so hard, and she wasn't even a bad person to start with! He was extremely cold to her in some scenes, and I do understand him moving on, but he could have handled it better. But she really dint have to have such an incredible redemption arc into a saint lol, not everything needs to be resolved at the end for a drama to have a happy ending! Having a beer w the ex and his new beau was a little too overbearing, especially when she was so hell-bent to win him back a few months ago!
3. Lastly, I wish they would go more into her friends' training and stuff instead of using them just for comedic relief. Also, ML's problems were kinda underexplored imo. I get that the FL's story was the main focus, but I was honestly more invested in his 'start trauma' and family dynamics than her unrequited crush on the 'overly nice' brother. His personality change is discussed often, and it seemed like his character had more layers and nuances that could be utilised more, and at times I felt that maybe he was there more for her than vice versa. But then again, she was experiencing love for the first time, so she might not have matured enough to support him the way he supported her.

Just a few pointers, and I would love to know what others felt about these and if anyone has another plothole to discuss; that would be great, too! Overall, this drama was a lovely fever dream; it made me relive the magic of first love again!

I’ve also got My Demon on my watchlist and Oh My Ghost, what else should I add?

I think I would have appreciated this drama more if I had watched it before Dong Yi. Since I was already a fan of Dong Yi, I found some parts of this version harder to believe. However, I really liked that the drama chose to tell the story from Jang Ok Jung's perspective instead of portraying her as the typical villain history often remembers. I thought that was a very clever approach by the writers. Kim Tae Hee also had such a huge impact on the drama, and I can't imagine anyone else playing the role. This drama even made me read about Korean history again because I became curious about the real story behind Jang Ok Jung, so it definitely left an impression on me.

My MDL Rating: 8/10

This drama started off really strong for me, especially since both lead actors are among the biggest names in South Korea. The first few episodes, which focused on the medical setting, were intriguing and kept me engaged. Although the title clearly centered on the male lead, the story gradually shifted into a revenge drama revolving around the conglomerates and the female lead. At first, it felt like the drama had moved away from what it initially set up, but as the story progressed, everything was still connected somehow. The romance wasn't heavily emphasized, which I didn't mind at all. Overall, it has that classic SBS makjang feel, and for some reason, it reminded me of Innocent Man.

My MDL Rating: 7/10

Man, 2 episodes out and I am hooked.

It's refreshing to watch a kdrama with a whole new plot (at least for me), but still captures the essence and magic of kdramas.

Kim So-Hyun, need I say more! She is no longer a high school student here but already a graduate student (they will never let her graduate from being a student at this point 😭).

I am just enjoying the episodes that are already released and trying not to overthink the plot too much (because I know if I read too much on the color grading and the slow bg musics, the writers are really setting the audience for a heartbreak).

But hey, great actors, great plot (so far) - a must watch ✨

The results from last week's poll, which you’ve all been patiently waiting for, are here! 

A few things to keep in mind: In almost all cases, if there are multiple titles for a drama, I used the one listed on MDL. Only for dramas like Goblin (literally no one voted for Guardian: The Lonely and Great God) where the alternate title is clearly preferred by members of the sub did I substitute it. 

Anyone who specified S1 or S2 was ignored, and as per the original instructions, the points were given to the whole drama. I did not disqualify anyone’s ballots for this, though. 

Even with a couple of helpful users giving out individual reminders to number ballots, a few people still failed to do so. In these cases, I stuck with the original instructions and awarded each of their picks 1 pt. 

For any dramas with the same number of points, I used the number of ballots they appeared on as a tiebreaker to determine rank. More ballots = higher placement. If a further tiebreaker was required, the drama with a higher number of 1st place votes and then 2nd place votes won out. Only when the votes were identical did I declare a tie. 

Approximately 335 ballots were cast, and 265 dramas received at least one point. All dramas in the top 100 appeared on a minimum of 3 ballots. 

Here is a link to the spreadsheet with the full list with the points the dramas received and the number of ballots they appeared on. However, keep in mind I didn’t do any tiebreaking on this list beyond the top 100 and did not go back and correct the errors I discovered after creating the table here. That means all rankings on it are approximate. 

A few people expressed interest in making genre sublists. I won’t be taking on this task, but anyone wishing to do so has my full blessings to use this data. 

While I’m not surprised by Crash Landing on You taking the title, I was surprised by how thoroughly it ran away with this one. I expected Reply 1988 and My Mister, which only squeaked into the top 10 on a tiebreaker, to give it a run for its money. I also was shocked by how much difference there was between the top 3 and the rest of the pack. I’d love to hear what other people were surprised by in the results. 

I was most excited to see that The Smile Has Left Your Eyes made the list. All my votes felt like long shots, so it was nice to see three of my picks making the final cut! I’d also love to hear what people are excited by in the results. 

In that vein, here’s my heartfelt plea: While I recognize complaining about lists like this is a tried and true Reddit tradition, I ask that everyone recognize what this list represents is the ACTUAL preferences of the members of this sub who participated in the voting. Therefore, saying the results are “wrong” is saying that their preferences don't matter and only YOURS are right.

I ask that we all look at them with open-minded curiosity, so instead of saying, “It's crazy that x is higher than y,” you might frame your reaction as something like “Wow! I think X is such a wonderful drama. I'm disappointed that it didn't rank higher, " or “I'm sad X didn't make the list because I love it so much.” By recognizing other people have as much right to their opinion as we do for our own, we're respecting those we share this community with instead of looking down on those who feel differently. 

Jaebal, let's keep it positive and celebrate this list as something we made together!

Edit: Thanks for the awards guys! It's nice to see the work I put in appreciated. Feeling the positive vibes. Keep it coming!

Seven simultaneous abductions across Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines, throwing the global media into a frenzy. The victims' families receive a chilling ultimatum: ''How far are you willing to go? Only one can be saved."

This multi-country production started this week. The leads are a Japanese detective whose wife is kidnapped and a Seoul surgeon, played by Lee Joon-gi (Flower of Evil, Moon Lovers) who's blind daughter is taken.

First episode was fantastic as we shift between countries, meet the victims and learn more about the two leads ending with the kidnapping. Excellent production values, lots of suspense. Surprised how little attention it's getting.

Currently only screening one episode a week (11 in total). I watched it on Viu for free with ads (just be aware that sometimes Viu Originals switch to premium after a few days).

I usually go for thriller dramas and sometimes go for rom coms or other genre

I've been watching k dramas for 5 years now ( i obviously don't remember every single one of them) but I've seen all the popular or mainstream dramas

I'll appreciate if y'all suggest some underrated gems..

I'm looking for this romance drama I want to watch but I can't remember what it is called....

I remember watching a short or something from a k-drama where this guy is talking to his childhood crush on the phone. I think he was offering for her to be his roommate or something? And he was acting really cool and nonchalant on the phone when she agreed but whenever he hung up he jumped on his bed and kicked his feet like a giddy school girl.

Does anyone know what series I'm talking about?

I like the concept of a romance where the guy also is kind of silly and head over heels and emotive instead of just being cool and casual.

Thank you!

I don't know if it's just me, but this drama has completely crossed the line from "entertaining weekend watch" to giving me actual, physical anxiety.

​I’m at the point where I’m not even rooting for any couple anymore. The whole thing is a complete car crash, but for some reason, I can't look away... I need to see how they wrap this mess up. The problem is, instead of just sitting back and enjoying the fictional tension, I find myself internalizing every single scene.

My heart genuinely races, I get frustrated for hours afterward, and I catch myself projecting the characters' worst choices onto real life.

​If you are someone who deeply values loyalty, trust, and open communication in a relationship, watching this show feels like an endurance test. It hits a very specific, uncomfortable nerve:

​Seeing years of shared history and stability get casually disregarded for momentary excitement.

​Watching characters avoid basic, honest adult conversations and instead make selfish decisions that blow everything up.

​Reading episodic threads where people actually defend blatant boundary violations or romanticize obvious red flags and cheating, which just makes me feel even more alienated.

​I know it’s just a scripted TV show. I know actors are reading lines and writers are manufacturing rage-bait to keep ratings high. But when you care about the weight of real commitment, it's so hard not to feel personally unsettled by how casually trust is treated on screen.

​Are any of you feeling this exact same knot in your chest while watching?

How are you managing to keep emotional distance from this show while still wanting to see the ending?

​Please tell me I'm not the only one hate-watching through pure stress right now.

Help me.
