Akatsuki

A perfect mix of magic, mystery, comedy, romance, and everything in between.

Probably the first K-drama I ever followed in real time — and this is exactly how K-dramas should make you feel. A perfect mix of magic, mystery, comedy, romance, and everything in between. Every character has a certain depth — and yes, the chemistry between the leads is everything!

It brought back that Lovely Runner kind of feeling. To be someone’s first love and to quite literally sacrifice yourselves for each other… hands down.

And a special shout-out to Pyo Ji-ho, who will forever be remembered as one of the best second leads ever!

Don’t judge a show by its title!

Don’t judge a show by its title—this one had me reaching for tissues more times than I can count. Every episode takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. Great storyline and the perfect casting. The actors did a pretty good job in portraying the complexities of each character. Woo Do-hwan THE MAN that you are!

A rare gem of a drama.

Practical. Healing. Heartwarming. Love the dialogues. Not overly romanticised. Very mature. A rare gem of a drama.

Love the acting. Slow-burn. For some weird reason LMK and JSM pairing just works.

Rather than trying to explain something that can never be understood, being mistaken for a crazy woman was easier. Book Island [섬], Jeong Hyeonjong [정현종 (지은이) 정현종] (2009)

There are a lot of things in this world that are easier that way. It's better to be a crazy bitch than a pathetic wench.

The perfect ending.

One of the GREATEST LOVE STORIES in K-drama land.

An emotional rollercoaster. Riveting. Gut-wrenching. Captivating dialogue. The allegory, the yearning. The leads fall in love in the most organic way. Mature, yet childish. You get all the feels within the first three episodes. One of the GREATEST LOVE STORIES in K-drama land.

Truly a poetic masterpiece.

The actors are just chef’s kiss!

Also - "The sound of flowers blooming" is probably one of the sweetest ways you can describe what it feels like to fall in love.
