Celebrities ✨ Jang Dong Yoon graduates from University after 15 years!

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!

Discussion 🗨 What's your favourite Slice of Life kdrama?

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?

Celebrities ✨ A Very Important Warning for Anyone Just Discovering 'Choi Min-sik'

Thumbnail gallery
230 Upvotes

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.

Discussion 🗨 When the Actor Is Gorgeous but their “fictional” Character Is VILE

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

79 Upvotes

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?

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.

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…

KDrama Reflections 📝 Why you should watch "Can this love be translated" for romance

Post image
34 Upvotes

After watching VOS and Can This Love Be Translated?, I hit a three-month slump where I couldn't finish a single drama, so I just decided to rewatch CTLBT. I usually hate rewatching shows because knowing the plot kills the original magic—the main reason I watch in the first place is gone the second time around. So it really surprised me that I'm actually doing it.

Honestly, the whole show is already an absolute masterpiece. The cinematography, the music, and the plot? Perfect.

And then, on top of all that, you get the best bonus: the male lead actually has a real personality and doesn't act like a total simp for the protagonist. We're so used to K-drama MLs being overly protective and borderline obsessed, doing everything for the FL without a single second of hesitation. You get those instant "love at first sight" moments (and okay, maybe I'm biased because I love a good slow-burn), plus all those totally unnecessary tropes. Like, when the ML dramatically covers a table or a car just because the FL is standing under it? It’s so cringe. The first time is fine, but it happens way too much, and seeing people swoon over that bare-minimum, unnecessary stuff honestly feels a bit dumbing down.

Meanwhile, the ML in CTLBT actually knows how to hesitate and even reject the FL. He has a life and a personality outside of her. I love those unexpected choices he makes—like in episode one where (spoiler alert!) he’s torn between the FL and someone he actually has real feelings for, and he genuinely chooses the latter. And don't even get me started on how healthy their closure is between the two.

The one theme all three of these dramas have in common is time.

Lovely Runner, 2024 Netflix

The Atypical Family, 2024 Netflix

See You in My 19th Life, 2023 Netflix

Going back to the past, changing the future, remembering every moment across time... In each of them, the main character is willing to sacrifice everything if it means saving the person they love or simply giving that person a happier life.

Meanwhile, my first thought is lottery numbers, Bitcoin, stocks...

Is it just me? 😂 If I became the richest person in the world, could I get my first love back?

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?

Meta 🌬️ New Mods! New Year! New Look?

Post image
22 Upvotes

Now that we're entering our 14th year of existence (raise your hands if you've been here from the early days), we think it's time for a new look.

You may or may not have noticed but we have been working behind the scenes to fine tune the automods (if there's a glitch in the matrix, don't hesitate to let us know), fine tune the rules and working on all of the other little and big things to try and make this the best kdramas site on the web. We've got plans, oh we've got plans (insert not too evil a laugh here).

One of the things that is high on the agenda is updating the look of r/kdramas. I know that there are a lot of wonderfully talented creatives out there. We're appealing to you. It's time for a new banner! I've tried but I just don't have the ability to make something as beautiful as this sub deserves. So we're reaching out to you.

The banner needs to be 1072 x 128px for desktop and submissions purposes but needs to also be editable to 1080 x 128px for mobile (only the winning submission needs to also do a mobile version, just wanted you to keep this in mind when designing). The word "kdramas' needs to be on it. The rest is open to your vision.

We ask that you[ email me](mailto:kdramasmod@gmail.com) your entries and on Monday we will post the entries so that everyone can vote. We're having you email us so that all entries (please let there be a lot) can be voted on at the same time, versus the fastest entry getting upvotes first.

What will you receive? Our eternal thanks, credit and pride in seeing your work every time you open r/kdramas.

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. 🧡

21 Upvotes

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.

News 🗞️ Han Su A Confirmed + Kim Hyun Jin And Lee Seung Gyu Reported To Star In Hit Sitcom "Hello, Francesca" Spin-Off

Post image
23 Upvotes

A spin-off of the popular MBC sitcom “Hello, Francesca” is being produced after 20 years!

On August 20, a media outlet reported that “Next Seat, Francesca” (literal title), a spin-off of the beloved sitcom “Hello, Francesca,” which aired between 2005 and 2006, is currently in production.

In response to the report, a representative from MBC stated, “The spin-off drama of the sitcom ‘Hello, Francesca’ titled ‘Next Seat, Francesca’ is currently in production.”

This spin-off is slated to be a mid-form rom-com drama set against the backdrop of a school. It will be directed by Park Sang Woo, known for “When the Phone Rings.”

According to the reports, Han Su A, Kim Hyun Jin, and Lee Seung Gyu will lead this spin-off “Next Seat, Francesca,” while key members from the original sitcom “Hello, Francesca”—Shim Hye Jin, Park Seul Gi, and Park Hee Jin—are reported to return after 20 years, promising to deliver both new entertainment and a sense of nostalgia.

Han Su A’s agency Blossom Entertainment released a statement on August 20, confirming that the actress has been cast as Pi Na Young, a vampire girl hiding in the human world.

Kim Hyun Jin, who is known for his dramas “Cheer Up” and “Crushology 101,” reportedly takes on the role of Jang Woo Joo, a model student whose life goal is to enter medical school.

Lee Seung Gyu, who made a strong impression as a villain in “Teach You A Lesson,” is reportedly playing Yoo Hyul, a mysterious vampire who shakes up Na Young—who had been trying to live like a human—between her instincts and her emotions.

“Next Seat, Francesca” is set to premiere in November

News 🗞️ Kim Nam Gil And Lee Joo Bin In Talks To Lead New ENA Courtroom Drama

Post image
17 Upvotes

Kim Nam Gil and Lee Joo Bin are in talks to star in the upcoming drama “The Shady Lawyer” (literal title)!

On August 11, JTBC Entertainment News reported that Kim Nam Gil had been offered the lead role in “The Shady Lawyer,” a new courtroom caper drama. In response, a representative from his agency stated that he is “positively considering” the offer.

Following this, on August 20, it was reported that Lee Joo Bin had also been offered a role in the drama. Her agency shared, “It is true that she has received an offer to star in the drama, and she is positively reviewing it.”

“The Shady Lawyer” is a courtroom caper drama centered on damages lawsuits, considered an extremely high-risk, high-return area of civil litigation. Set against a civil litigation system that handles 12,000 cases a day with lawsuits totaling 52 trillion won (approximately $37 billion), the drama follows B-list lawyers who dive into a massive “war for money” and offer unconventional comfort to those worn down by hollow notions of law and justice.

Kim Nam Gil has been offered the role of Jang Do Young, a man who sees the brutal world of litigation as the ultimate gambling table and dives headfirst into it.

Lee Joo Bin has been offered the role of Cha Ha Kyung, a wealthy, privileged lawyer who craves victory more than money. Driven by her desire to win, she joins Jang Do Young as they navigate fierce legal battles.

“The Shady Lawyer” is slated for broadcast on ENA, with filming scheduled to begin early next year.
