Wow I totally stumbled upon this meaning I was in such a bad slump after a kdrama I just finished and literally just clicked on the first drama that popped up on my doom scroll and it turned out to be so so so good so far!
Like others have mentioned, this is an enemies to lovers done right so far! I'm only halfway through though but I'm loving the proper slow burn which is a total rarity for mini dramas. The acting is brilliant, the leads are a stunning duo and very complimentary, great chemistry and fantastic costumes, production quality and cinematography. Highly recommend!
Does lee joo myung play the same kinda role in everything? Saw her in like flowers in the sand, here and even in a cameo in hospital playlist and she's acting the exact same slightly eccentric, "quirky" way while screaming at the top of her lungs for no reason for every dialogue...at this point I'm thinking it might have to do with her acting more than the character...
I'm probably one of the only longtime kdrama watchers that hasn't seen a single park bo gum drama...really feeling the fomo but none of his dramas/characters have seemed appealing so far to me. Holding out hope to find something I can watch with him in it soon!
So another When The Phone Rings, but this time with a gigantic age gap? Nothing against Lee Seol but how I wish someone more age-appropriate like Moon Chae Won or Han Hyo Joo were cast in this 😭 though I do hope Lee Seol proves me wrong with her performance...
I dropped GA too, if you liked this one I'm gonna give it a go!
Tbf i didn't get that far into Go Ahead before pausing it so idk if it counts as dropping 😅 so I'm not sure if u should go by that. From the bit I remember from Go Ahead they follow the same set up for the first few episodes. Beyond that I don't really know how it matches up to Go Ahead since I haven't seen it
As someone who dropped Go Ahead and didn't get a chance to go back to it, Family By Choice was a really refreshing watch on its own. I especially stayed for Dal and Haejun's story. Wish we get more dramas with such an invested and sincere female character in their love for another that is also so mature and kind, without being suffocating and clingy. And Haejun and his heartbreaking story was the other highlight in the show for me. Seo Ji Hye and Bae Hyun Sung were perfect for their roles.
Unrelated but isn't it more profitable for netflix to not dump full length dramas all at once like this when dramas with barely 10 eps get a slow poison release? Not to mention how much better it would be for the audiences to sit and savor melodramas like this that are best enjoyed at a slow pace by making it ongoing? Who makes these decisions for them haha
he's good actor and he's also good looking, not everyone must look like an idol... or I don't know what issue…
I understand where you're coming from but the character he's playing is an aspiring boxer. I would hope that st the bare minimum, the actor playing that role won't look like a flawless idol that weighs less than the female leads combined. I think we as an audience need to level up and start looking beyond superficial aspects like appearances and assess and appreciate actors based on how well they pull off the characters they play instead.
I'm so beyond excited for this show that I'm now also borderline worried if I've set myself up for disappointment but fingers crossed this will be an exception 😭
Wish Jung So Min would do more serious, kino drama like The Smile Has Left Your Eyes and less romanceslop like…
I personally don't think she needs to do more tragedies like TSHLYE to prove her acting talent. Her roles in dramas like Because This Is My First Life and Alchemy of Souls already proves her talent. She handled both the melacholy and the lighthearted moments incredibly well in these two.
I mean "troublemaker" in the description immediately made me think of either Kim Nam Gil or Kim Young Kwang, so maybe one of them. Even Kang Ha Neul would be a good choice
Two sisterhood dramas releasing at the same time? This and A Hundred Memories. That's new...in fact sisterhood in kdramas in itself is so rare. Wonder which one I'll end up liking more. So far from the plot summaries, A Hundred Memories is winning, eager to find out for real tho!
Lee minki needs to come back to romcoms asap 😭 on the contrary, very exciting to see my fav park min young in something not romance for the first time!
Park min young is so important to kdrama watchers like me for whom kdramas have become synonymous with *the* park min young. I hope she stays healthy for a long long time and doesn't get into any unhealthy eating habits. She's been perfect, no amount of more or less weight loss and cosmetic work will change that. So please relax, queen!!
