I don't think "child athlete" can be considered a career. They never went pro nor earned $$$ with it. I mean I also competed in Taekwondo upto my high school days but it wasn't a career since I earned nothing.
1. Beyond the Cloud. I did NOT expect anything but it turned out to be a incredible slow burn. The characterisation was beautiful and the two leads did their roles so well. It made me a Han Ji Hye fan.
2. Memorials (Into the Ring, currently airing). Wow I did not expect this drama to turned out to be this good. It's not finished yet but it's prolly the best Kdrama of 2020 I've seen alongside Diary of a Prosecutor. The writing is SO well paced, consistent with lots of quirk infusion. The direction is very unorthodox for a Kdrama with lots of weird close-ups and angles. Nana and Park Sunghoon play out their characters brilliantly as well. It's a top notch, well produced, well written and acted Kdrama. The whole package.
3. The Guest. It's a horror Kdrama, and I've had horrible experience with the genre when it comes to Kdramas (Korean horror movies are amazing though!). But the Guest changed my view of not just OCN but also horror Korean dramas. What a well written and acted show. It gave me withdrawal syndrome once it ended, I'm not kidding!
4. Just Between Lovers (aka Rain or Shine), another melodrama I expected not much from but blossomed into my personal favourite Korean melodrama of all time. I'll be honest - I almost dropped this drama at episode 1, because I thought there was a lack of focus but decided to continue it was the best decision I made when it comes to Kdrama because after episode 2, the show becomes so well focused and each character was given a good amount of character development and exposition. It made me cry mid-way through as well.
This show is a mess. I am annoyed that they're wasting everyone's talent with such a mediocre script. It's more of a makjang with annoying characters. I knew the love pentagon was gonna be a mess but I didn't know it would be this messy. You have to wonder why in the heck did the actors even accept this script. Especially pissed off aboit Dasom's character being a bitch again.
So refreshing to watch such a non-cliched Kdrama. It's one of the highlights of the year. The infusion of local politics with comedy is so well balanced here. It just feels right.
What you doing here lol? Anyways is it a worth watch? I'm counting on you!
It's worth watching. One of the most refreshing drama this season. It's well paced. But the highlights are the strong quirky writing and the characters who're very colourful and diverse.
What kind of a girlfriend isn't invited to her boyfriend's birthday party? LMAOIt was rushed but I think the point…
Guy: "Your best friend and I broke up earlier today" Rumi: "What???" Guy: "I know you liked me so let's sleep together even though her and I just broke up" Rumi: "Okay!!"
That's basically what it was. lmao both of them are bottom of the barrel scum if you ask me. So I felt satisfaction when Rumi's fiance cheated on her tbh even though I don't condone cheating.
For me the biggest con is that most Thai series I've seen have mediocre production values. Especially the BLs, they're budget shows and it shows a lot.
Secondly many of them have really bad sound mixing. The voices feel really off and sound badly dubbed. A huge con imo
Another problem, although a minor one for me, is that most of the subbed Thai series recycle actors. You'll see the same people in every dramas! It's kinda ridiculous. Reminds me of Bollywood with the nepotism and dominance of a small group of people and their families.
So Lakorns are basically Thai soap operas. Got it. I'm gonna avoid them at all costs.
