It feels more like a complete movie production than it does a drama, especially with names like Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Ri attached. This drama starts off SO good. Like the webtoon is incredibly clever and nuanced, and the show seems to do a good job taking that on and then….
I could not get through this drama. It was so drawn out and boring, and the characters made no sense. Even how they wind up sleeping together is weirdly forced and awkward. I started skipping through it to see what would happen, and when I realize the way they reconcile in the end was crappy too, I gave up altogether. Cho Yeo Jeong who you guys might recognize as the rich mom from Parasite , is one of my favorite actresses. However, this drama was a mess.
Her character was insanely annoying like you know Cho is an amazing actress when you realize she was doing Concubine and Bangja around this time. I remember thinking Ji Hoon and Yeol Mae got way too serious way too fast for the plot, and Yeol Mae was just kinda whiny. Now I have a proper list to send my friends when they ask me for recs! What do you think are the best Korean Dramas to watch? Simply click the links, and I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you!
The acting by the entire cast, especially the younger actors, costumes, sets and OST were amazing. And loved the little girl! She was amazing! NA is still a bop! Omg, I wish I could. Reflecting on my Kdrama watches, it really was in a class of its own!
Most recent , The Rookie Historian too. Among the ones ive watched, i also liked Startup and Vincenzo.. Emotionally they have all stayed with me and not left. The acting was superb. I am a relative newbie to this area of entertainment but, I am so enthralled. Thank you for sharing your art. PS my first drama was Mr Sunshine……. I was a goner from that moment on. Vincenzo on Netflix. Funny, sad, mad, action and romance. Love love love the male lead and female lead actors.
I have never had a celebrity crush, but I am definitely in the throes of a character crush. A bespoke suit has not been so sexy since James Bond. A kooky, crazy, smart female lead has not been adorable and sexy at the same time as the female lead. So ready for a season 2, 3, 4, and 5! So please please please are there any other good dramas with Daegu or Busan dialects?
Please let me know ;-;. Hmm I think my only rec is to watch Reply next as they have accents from all over Korea the theme is kids coming to Seoul for university. Will keep an eye out for satoori dialect dramas though! Marriage not dating secret garden arang and the magistrate scarlet heart ryo search late autumn coffe prince hyde and jekyl introverted boss queen of 7 days empress ki undercover Big cloy and…..
The acting of the lead actors were great. Hi, You have great taste in Kdramas! Hello My Twenties is my favorite kdrama ever. Ooh will check these out! I first got hooked on kdramas at 17 while I was studying for university entrance exam. And my first one was BOF. Although I still find them a bit cheesy and lots of times sexist this part annoys me the most and the conservativeness does annoy me a bit, they actually do help with my anxiety. I believe kdramas actually have a secret not very secret Xanax-like ingredient in them.
It was the first time I saw Siwan and I actually fel in love with him. It kind puts you in a trance! Definitely recommend Crash Landing on You the soundtrack just came up on my spotify and reminded me of how much I loved it and looooved Hotel del Luna. I think about how interesting that whole was often! I discovered k-drama only a year ago, while I was writing a paper for one of my courses.
My first k-drama was Something in the Rain. However, the the female lead is played by Son Ye-hin, and I was struck by her amazing acting skills. And I liked the chemistry between her and Jung Hae-in. So obviously I had to watch another drama with Son Ye-hin in the lead.. Crash Landing on You offers both. I found it to be boring, dragging and quite problematic — which ruined the chemistry for me. And the ending just sucks! I watched Tale of the Nine tailed after Goblin and found it to be much much better being in the same category — fantasy, gods falling in love with humans, reincarnation, folklore , not in the least because the female lead is well in her twenties instead of a schoolgirl yikes, so problematic.
Good chemistry and fluffy story.. Thank you for recommending those :. Honestly, Crash Landing on You is like a new tier of being amazing now that I look back on it!
The chemistry between the leads is cute but not really central to the plot, and the way it handles death is really interesting! Also, I wanted to recommend you this show that is so good, at least to me. Plus, the actresses are absolutely adorable. Its on Netflix if you want to try it out. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Haha no worries! It started off SO GOOD and the main leads, I adore, but for me it petered out to be a bit underwhelming once everything started falling into place. Still the chemistryyyyy, omg. I just had to check out series with Hyun Bin gorgeous, of course! And yes Hyun Bin is so timeless. Came across this site randomly while trying to find the name of a Korean drama. If someone wants to answer my question that would be great. I am trying to find out the name of a drama series about a Korean Empress.
My friend said it was excellent, and she cannot remember the name. She told me about it a couple years ago or so, and I would recognize the name if I heard it. According to her, the name of the drama was the name of the Empress. Haha glad you found it! Definitely on my list as Queen Seondeok is such a cool historical figure!
I watched it over and over and still I cried and laughed. I am currently watching The King:Eternal Monarch. I thought it was going to be some cute little cheesy romance. However, I have 3 episodes left, and it keeps getting better and better. I keep thinking I have it finally figured out, and then they add another layer to the mystery that has me think: oh s—t, I did NOT see that coming-woah!
She holds her own and is not some pretty little weak thing. Yes, she has feelings and vulnerability, but she is strong minded and well developed too. She has just as much depth as the lead male. I was a bit skeptical it would wind up being all glitz and no substance. When police officer Hwang Yong-Sik Kang Ha-Neul falls for Dong-Baek, what begins as a one-sided, cringe-inducing crush develops into a moving relationship providing a respite from the hostility she is accustomed to.
When the Camellia Blooms blends the light-hearted ingredients of a rom-com with the suspense of a thriller, made more compelling by the convincing chemistry between the lead actors.

This is basically the modern version of Boys Over Flowers. A tale of young love, friendship, and sacrifice.
