One of my favorite actors. I've loved all his roles, but honestly, it was going back and watching The Great Seducer aka Tempted that sealed it. That's probably my favorite retelling of Les Liaisons Dangereuses. He was just fantastic. I never thought anything could make me cry the way Goblin did, but this was as close as they come. Do Hwan's ability to go from cold and mean to warm and sweet on a dime never fails. I'll enjoy any role he plays, but I hope he does more romantic comedy in the future!
excellent list, i wanna add Ms Perfect cause it's equally crazy
I haven't seen that one yet. There are others I haven't added either. I have to go through my watch list! But these are the ones I thought of off the top of my head.
I absolutely adored every moment of this drama! I avoided it for years vecause I thought it would be too sad, but it is full of laughter along with the tears, and every legendary member of this cast was absolutely amazing. I WILL be watching this again!
TBH, I think you have to be 30+ to appreciate this series. What is stunning here is that really approaches its…
As much as I have NO sympathy for the cheaters and their mistresses, I AM glad these stories were fleshed out. One of my GIANT pet peeves is mustache-twirler villains. That is, villians who just evil for no apparent reason and have no other character trait than being the antagonist. K-dramas tend to suffer from this A LOT (especially sageuk and makjang), so its refreshing to see some dimension here.
But at the same time, it's annoying that the writer seems to want us to feel sorry for these people. I guess it's a double-edged sword. LOL
My first Asian drama was Hotel del Luna. I started it around when it released, but forgot to continue after a…
This is a really interesting perspective I hadn't thought of before! I also love that in K-drama I find interesting and unique stories that production companies in the US (where I'm from -- these days if it doesn't involve a superhero, a franchise, or a reboot, nobody is making it) aren't willing to invest in anymore (i.e. paranormals, rom-coms, etc.)
Good luck to you! I hope you keep enjoying dramas!
Personally, I don't like the basic plot of BOF too but have to agree that it was an iconic drama that made many…
SAME. The first time I tried to watch it, I turned it off at about episode 2. I finall got through it, and... I didn't like it anymore than I did the first time. HOWEVER, it is an iconic piece of drama history, and no one should go through their entire existence without seeing this hair on LMH. LOL
My first drama was Black over on Netflix in... 2016 or 17, I think? I'm a big lover of paranormal romance (especially epic ones!0, and since the trend had died off in the US, I was THRILLED to discover the world of Kdrama! Now it's pretty much all I watch. LOL
THERE SHOULD BE A SUICIDE CONTENT WARNING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS SUMMARY, and the tag doesn't even show up on the first page! I went in thinking this was a typical drama and was really horrified at the opening storyline! I thought I must be watching the wrong drama based on this description, but no.
Agreed. Actually, I thought the entire plot line was a convoluted mess, but it was charming and could have been forgiven if not for the last few episodes. My first comment was literally, "WHAT?" I just... no. Needlessly painful.
I'm only three episodes in and I am CREEPED OUT. As a long-time horror fan, I can't remember something making my skin crawl like this in a good, long while. I love it.
But at the same time, it's annoying that the writer seems to want us to feel sorry for these people. I guess it's a double-edged sword. LOL
Good luck to you! I hope you keep enjoying dramas!
