I know right. He wen't from a nostalgic actor from previous kdrama times that only millenials knew about and totally uknown to gen Z....Now he's having like a 2nd Career Hight suddenly, last this happened was in like 00s ๐ ๐
I like & will be watching this, but let's be honest: He literary Does NOT look like a high schooler at all ! (And that's Ok! The ML is undercover). ๐๐
To me it sounds like ML INVESTIGATES her death, but what if there's plot twist she's actually alive? Faked her…
Since you say you like Romance Thrillers, Let me Copypaste to you my Comment/Recommendation I made to another user quite recntly :
". I recommend you the Turkish tv series "Kara Para Ask" / "Black Money Love" (its english title). It has Both DEPTH & SIZZLE too!
It' on Netflix with about 165 eps x 45 minutes. That might look like Many eps, but I guarantee you IT'S ABSOLUTELY WORTH it! :
1.). It doesn't FEEL that long because it's Extremely well-paced. No boring Moments after ep 3 when plot gets going on Netflix version (ep 1 in original version). It's so addictive too, you'll be glad it's long and that you'll have many MANY EPS WITH A GREAT PAIRING! ๐ No "WHAT Great Romance pairing should I get into next, I feel empty!?!" for a while for you with this series. 2.) The couple's chemistry is FIRE and it's the most realistic couple scenes I've ever seen in a drama ever (One of those pairings people wonder if they date irl after the drama, especially since the actress got suspisiously divorced after the drama after THAT chem lol). The directing of their scenes, they're such a hyper realistic Cuddly couple that makes one Warm inside.๐ฅฐ 3.) It's possibly the best Relationship Buildup I've ever seen. Excellent writing. 4). I've never seen such an Hyper- Emotionally Supporting pairing like this before. They are the definition of "Being There for each other through dark times (&danger!)".
Basic plot: รmer (ML) is a cop + Elif (FL) a designer, who suddenly experience mutual tragedy as his fiance and her father are one day found murdered together in a car. They begin investigating together, while constantly being put in danger. Also family is a central theme. And Diamonds.
Genres: Thriller-Romance (LOTS OF ROMANCE in this thriller, Also Lots of Thriller, romance is NOT just a subplot in case you're wondering, obviously not at the Start as he' greving his fiance. But they have chem since ep1, which builds up slowburn nicely. But also lots of Thriller where leads are always in danger!), Melodrama, Slice of Life. It gets more melodramatic later on. Good ending (Let me know if you want spoilers if happy or sad ending).

It's Extremely emotional at times, emotional depth lots of it in the drama and in their relationship, the pairing isn't only supporting each other through it all, they are also Emotionally Supporting THE VIEWERS by making the pain bearable with their cuteness and hopes despite their traumas.๐ฅฐ๐
(The original ep count is 2h eps x 53 eps or something like that. Netflix cut the eps into more easily watchable shorter eps. This original 53 ep version can be found on Youtube, if you don't have Netflix). "
To me it sounds like ML INVESTIGATES her death, but what if there's plot twist she's actually alive? Faked her…
Yeah TOTALLY agree about ROMANCE in Mystery drama! ๐
In fact, I recently made a list of Action/Thriller+Rom combining dramas for me to watch next (Well some of them lower down on the list doesn't have Rom but Comedy mixed with Triller & they seemed fun anyway): Maybe you'll find the list helpful.
(Ignore Queen of Tears and My Lovely Sam Soon, obvious not action Thrillers, just there as reminders to myslef to also watch them soon)
To me it sounds like ML INVESTIGATES her death, but what if there's plot twist she's actually alive? Faked her own death? The character decscription sounds like someone who would do that ๐, she's already Faking otehr things like Fake luxury brand, and could easily piss of rich peiple, needing to HIDE & fake her death....
I will wait to see. I am hopeful, but Jang Ki Yong and chemistry has never hit it just right for me. I always…
I unfortunately agree, I like him but somehow he NEVER has good chemistry with his female leads Lol (Even when he has excellent bffs chem with them bts, it never translated onscreen๐ ), maybe he is aromantic or something, cause the guy doesn't know how to express romantic feelings naturally at all..... Still looking forward to their pairing but will like always have to have low chemistry expectations...

....I like how the Feb-April 2025 Lineup is filled with these Quirky/Action style Kdramas, it's JUST what I'm in the mood for now too ๐ (so tired of Reunion Romcoms!)
Hey you watching FP?What a surprise that is. I ALMOST DIDNT want to watch FP given how revolted for life I was…
No, I'm not into Asian Historicals. Which is surpising given how much I LOVE LOVE European Historical Tv series ๐
Maybe the cultural difference becomes too much, comapred to with modern drama. Or maybe they just focus on too many characters for my taste, or the wrong things.
Well, I've mostly watched K Historicals, and they Consist of 99% Repeat the same formula of "PLOTTING FOR THRONE focused on at least HALF THE SHOW, even when the story is Unique like an Unique Lawyer/Painter/Bandit Lead character's story...But rather than focus on lead the story focus on PLOTTING FOR THRONE BACKGROUND CHARCTERS at least 50% of the time I'M NOT INTERESTED, I mean They are more MORE REPETETIVE&Cliche than Chiche Romcoms!!!๐ ๐ ๐
I will try some C historicals when I'm more in mood for historicals.
20th Century Historical Kdrama can be quite good, depends, I like some. Like Chicago Typewriter. ๐ Mr Sunshine was boring/too slow, too mcuh of a Love Hexagon, too many characters and main leads' romance looks like Uncle-Niece in age difference ๐ ๐ Girls Generation 1979 was lovely, but now unrewatchable because one actor is later now ousted as rapist irl. ๐คฎ Considering downloading all eps and making an Edited version of the drama without him in it (He's not the only lead, multiole mains, so show watchable without him).
Thai Lakorn Historicals I DO tend to like, because despite having also large cast they STILL focus MAINLY on LEADS 90% OF the time, Thai Culture is closer to Euroean (less over the top alien feeling compared to chinese & korean historical) and have more Meloromance in them too mixed in.
I've tried 20th century C historicals, they all repeat same Revenge plot lol ๐ Even though I like Rvenge plot, but so far haven't liked it in 20ty histlrical cdrama.
I like LiXian 's Shooting Star which aired same time as Will Love In Spring. His costar actress is cute there too. Watched like 3 eps so far. Will continue that when I'ev finished other dramas.
RIGHT NOW, I'm in Mood for ACTION/THRILLER/Mystery Romcoms, Finishing a list of those Ive aligned up for Next to watch.
Later when in mood, might actually check out some c historicals that are well praised, like that Kunning Palace. c drama. Per your praise, maybe I'll give Floudished Peony a try too. Also this drama looks interesting, might watch it when in mood for historicals: https://kisskh.at/article/song-wei-long-and-angelababy-s-everlasting-longing-premiers
"The duo previously met each other as video game characters during their school years. Sixteen years later, they reunite, this time as a boss and employee. "
NOT another REUNION ROM. Kdrama writers these days are ALLERGIC to strangers falling in love!!! ๐
She's great in The Beauty Inside and The Trunk, total Girl crush level of charming!! ๐๐

BELIEVED to be dead vs actually being....

Will watch this.
Also sitcom as kdrama genre is interesting!
