I haven't actually seen a lot of 2020 Cdramas. But the Kdramas I'd rate the best of 2020 (in no particular order) are:

1. Memorials aka Into the Ring - definitely one of the top 3 of 2020, not everyone's cup of tea, but if you like quirky dramas with idiosyncratic characters this one is for you
2. Chocolate - bring lots of tissues as this one's a hell of a tearjerker
3. Diary of a Prosecutor - a really fun, episodic slice of life with an overarching plot
4. Penthouse - take your blood pressure meds because this one will make you livid throughout, it's SKY Castle on steroids
5. Uncanny Counter (it's still airing)
6. Nobody Knows - prolly the most atmospheric mystery-crime thriller of the year with excellent performances by Kim Seo Hyun and the rookie Ahn Ji Ho
7. Like in the Movies - this one's a gay drama, but it's unlike other Asian gay dramas. It's very progressive and tackles a lot of actual problems like toxic allies. Definitely one of the best Asian "BL" I've seen (I hate calling it a BL personally because it transcends the genre)
8. Search

They cannot participate in changing the situations in human world. It'd be breaking their law or something. And it'd be immensely hypocritical of them to take part in it while also criticising the MCs for it.

Disagreed. The expositions we've seen are important. A show cannot be 99% action and 1% plot. These exposition we've been seeing is crucial to the narrative as it creates a backdrop and mindset of the characters.

That's not how it works though. To become a vessel for these evil spirit, you must first have a blood thirst and intense will to kill. It's been explained over and over again. And once you kill a person, THEN ONLY the evil spirit will be activate inside you. So basically, you cannot commit crimes without being evil yourself. Jeongshin was already beyond redemption before the spirit started controlling him.

Eh what? Episode 13 was full of development. In fact it's one of the most progressive episode of the whole show:

1. Somun got control of his powers
2. Jeongyong's killer got exposed and was swiftly caught
3. Jeongshin died finally
4. A concrete evidence of Mayor killing the girl was revealed
5. We got info on how the highest level demons can be caught

I disagree. There's no redeeming his character. While yes he had a terrible childhood, it still doesn't change the fact that he was more or less a sociopath and killed a person before he came under the control of an evil spirit. Death was his only freedom.

Continue. Episodes 5-8 is all exposition, the story moves after episode 9.

Tunnel is way better than Signal, which is one overrated drama if you ask me.

The Guest is not scary, try it out. It's very intriguing and captivating.

Baffling how you don't seem to read replies properly because I never said this is a mediocre drama. I said it's not comparable to the Guest because entirely different types of drama.

Episode 13 reminded me of the reasons why I hate kids. They're very annoying and are a big nuisance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ smh that kid ruined everything.

And as expected, the police Chief killed Jeongyong. That was predictable, but still so satisfying to see his downfall. Han-ul wins MVP for this episode for me due to his work!

I'm seriously dying to know why that assistant is helping the ahole who killed her friend smh she's just as complicit as him in this and should be jailed alongside him. If they portray her as a victim as well, I'mma slapping the writer!

Your first flaw was believing this is comparable to the Guest. Completely different type of show with different premises.

If was her, I'd cuss "Julie" Yeom as well since she said "Fuck you" is not an insult lmao

If I was here I'd be ROFL'ing tbh lmao

Haha and also how unaffected Mijoo was loool as if she didn't understand it xD

I hope everyone noticed the little gay sex joke James inserted in episode 9. "He doesn't drive a stick, does he?" - nice to see how open minded the writer/director of this show is! Will definitely look towards their work in the future.

Exactly! I hope we'll see more of these in Kdramas in the future.

BTW I died at the gay sex joke in Episode 9.
James: "You're cute, he's hot. He doesn't drive a stick, does he?"
Me: HAHA *dead*

Samsung high end phones. So far I've noticed many characters use:
1. Galaxy Note 20 (Mijoo has it)
2. Galaxy Flip (Seongyeom, Young Il and Seongyeom's mum are using it from what I've noticed)
3. Galaxy Fold 2 (Dan Ah has one).

Almost any Kdramas will exclusively use these phones btw you'll notice the Flip, Fold/Fold 2, Note 20, S20 Ultra in almost every Kdrama since early 2020s.

He's from ZE:A. Check them out. They have really good songs. The group has 3 popular actors - Hyungshik (Visual, Main Vocalist), Siwan (Visual, Sub-vocalist) and Kim Dongjun (Main Vocalist, Maknae).

I'd highly recommend you check out their song Ghost Of Wind and All Day Long.

No they can't decide that "easily". For one the show's not doing so well in SK, and is not topping trending charts on Netflix either. Netflix also doesn't cover the production cost as it is not a Netflix original show. It's a JTBC show and Netflix only has the licensing rights for international airing. The chances for a S2 is slim to none as it is right now.

There's no drama, no cliche and is very laidback throughout. So yeah it's not everyone's cup of tea.
