r/kdramas

​

So, I have been watching K dramas for almost a decade now. I have watched many shows, many of them were good, I liked many actors and found them hot. But I used to move on very fast, lol. That changed after I watched Healer ( I was pretty late ) and I fell in love with Ji Chang Wook. Noone matched him and no one will ...for me.

I just can't keep my eyes off him. Every scene, every frame .. when he appears, I cannot look at anyone else. Last show of him that I watched was Worst Of Evil and he looked so hotttttt. Even when he was drenched in blood and sweat. His personality, his acting, his body language are all top notch. It's not just that he is drop dead gorgeous but he is a great actor. I also get a great vibe from his interviews which makes me believe he is a great person as well.

Do you have an actor who is your "Ji Chang Wook"? Someone you are biased for or not able to move on from.

Ok, he is back in Perfect crown as the Queen's brother. I already know the planning and plotting is going to start and he will so well ruin the lives of our main leads.

I don't even know the number of times he has played the evil villain and whenever I see him, I feel an irk. I get worried as well for the main characters because damn... he knows how to ruin everything for everyone. I sometimes feel scared of him lol. I don't think I have seen him playing a positive role. has he? Also, I noticed he plays negative character a lot in historical set-up dramas maybe because his aura and face suits it well. He is such a damn good actor. Makes me hate him so much.

who is your favorite villain?

Hello guys,

Which actress/actor is your favorite right now—the one you want to see more of and truly believe will dominate in the next 10 years?

For me, I’ll go with Go Youn-jung. I really appreciated her recent projects and I’m excited to see more from her.

I’d also love to see more of Park Ji-hu and Cho Yi-hyun—they have so much potential and seem really sweet too haha.

What about you?

Lot’s of time, watching kdrama means having to watch them eat delicious food. Every time I see them slurp down a bowl of noodles it makes me crave a bowl. I want to try it all BBQ, japchae, tteokbokki, ramyeon, sundae gukbap, gimbap, kimchi, jajangmyeon, subway (just kidding).

What gets your mouth watering? Is there a dish you are dying to try?

The story felt engaging and i didn’t get bored at any of the scenes. The cast looks stacked from the MCs to the potential villains. Pace felt great and can’t wait for the episode tomorrow.

Only slight criticism is that the sound design is a bit off. They introduce sound bites and music at weird times but i hopeful it will get better. Everyone should be watching this show it will probably be the best airing show.

Drama Name: Phantom Lawyer

This scene made me laugh and dumbfounded at the same time, because where is the common sense guys?

The girl is standing there nice and firm after "apparently" saving her sister like there was some confetti going to shower over her for this bravery.

Bi*ch get aside, it's that simple.

I don't mind these accident scenes, but the directors need to stop putting this low effort scene, then go on to build an entire character's life based on that scene.

>!I saw a similar scene in Spring Fever, where a tree was about to fall on the FL and she kept sitting there despite seeing it coming light years ago. !<

>!😭!<

for me, it has to be "because this is is my first life". i know a lot of people found it boring or felt dissatisfied with the ending, but i genuinely found it really touching. it addressed so many real-life issues that exist in society, and i feel like a lot of dramas don’t really capture those themes in such a subtle and realistic way. the way it showed everyday things like patriarchy and quiet double standards felt very real and meaningful to me.

i might also relate to it personally, which is probably why it resonated with me so much. i really liked how the characters weren’t portrayed as extraordinary people. it’s rare to find k-dramas, especially ones about people in their late 20s or 30s, where no one is written with some unrealistic background or chaebol storyline.

i especially liked that the male lead was house poor instead of insanely rich, and the female lead was just an aspiring writer trying to figure life out. even the ending felt very grounded, where nothing dramatic happens or suddenly changes, and they just choose to continue life together as it is.

honestly, i prefer that kind of ending over the usual overly idealized k-drama endings. it felt refreshing and very honest. overall, it just felt like a very real and human story that a lot of people could actually relate to, especially with how life and finances are for many people today. idk how to describe it but the story line was so complex and depth without having dramatic plots and all like it was so real.

I wanna know your guys recs and thoughts

So, ever since Perfect Crown was annpunced, we had been looking forward to watching this show. But I guess, its gonna take mich much longer unless a streaming partner takes mercy and decides to air this show.

Its so unfair😭

Premiering on tvN on April 10, 2019, Her Private Life is a swoony enemies-to-lovers, fake dating office romance that set the standard for green flag couples. She’s a museum curator who secretly runs a fan page for a K-pop idol. He’s her new boss who discovers her secret. They have one of the healthiest, most communicative relationships I’ve ever seen and their chemistry is 🔥.

Unlike most K-romances where one person is far more invested in the relationship than the other, Ryan and Deok-mi are equally crazy about each other and it’s wonderful watching them fall in love. They’re true partners who are very protective of one another, supporting each other unequivocally both professionally and personally, and he even puts his career on the back burner so she can pursue her dream job.

Kim Jae-wook and Park Min-young wrote many of their scenes themselves and included lots of physical affection so they’re very convincing as a couple who are head over heels in love. Ryan and Deok-mi are the very definition of couple goals.

Her Private Life is streaming on Netflix, Viki, Prime Video, Roku and Tubi.
