Too much hype, hard pass

I liked him a lot but he changed his acting style quite a bit and now I can't stand him. I'm going to skip it despite locely YoonAh

Also you can do virtue-signalling at the same time, win-win

Hsting Jisoo is trendy nowadays, so have at it :)

By all means give it a shot, we like SJK and we tried for a few episodes but it was hard :)

Bae Doona is a stunning actress, definitely one of their best!

Very slow, atmospheric and boring at times. Shin Min Ah is drop dead gorgeous here so I've found myself watching the whole thing staring at her 😍

For a long time this was my absolute favorite drama, great chemistry, great story and absolutely heartbreaking!

It is God-awful, JSW can't act for sh!t and LMJ is pretty but not a good actress. As for the "story" .... - facepalm-

Hm, I will give Forest of Strangers a try then, thanks

Yoo Hae Jin - awesome as always
Yoon Ah - sweet
And then there's Hyun Bin .....

Saw it a few years ago, it's hilarious, really good

Kim Go Eun - yay!

Not a masterpiece but enjoyable if you watch it as a parody, it's what I did and it worked :)

The only good thing is that Red Velvet had a cameo in it LOL

I like your "distastes" :-) spot on!

Descendants
Goblin
Vincenzo
All 3 absolute rubbish, good looking main characters but the "stories" -awful :)

Very interesting article. We'll have to disagree on the Netflix influence, I absolutely hate it that Netflix got involved, it will de-personalize Korean dramas. Westernization of Korean culture is something I strongly dislike and this new direction will only accelerate it.
Next they will destroy Sageuk dramas I fully expect that.
I prefer older dramas by far, the netflix ones are total cr@p, although "Crash landing.." was good but that's totally because Son Ye Jin is pure gold.
Vincenzo was unwatchable for me. Start-Up was uber boring , only watched for the 2 beauties and because my wife liked it.
The Japanese ones do not attract me at all, same with the Chinese but that's because I am an enthusiastic Korea fan :)
However I respect the Japanese dramas for not going as global as the Korean.
To each their own, I know I am in the minority here, everyone is gaga over netflix dramas, not me. Heck, I don't even have Netflix and i avoid watching their productions

Maybe I'll give Hot Stove League a try. Sageuk is my favorite type of drama, sport drama is usually poor and not only the Korean ones.

Happy birthday Mr.Queen. 🎂
