Dreams do come true: Arthdal Chronicles second season will start filming!!!! I just hope Song Joong Ki who was pure fire as Saya/Eunseom is still on board! https://www.soompi.com/article/1513987wpp/arthdal-chronicles-production-company-announces-2nd-season-will-start-filming-this-year

K-drama and J-drama are so different. Can't watch ther latter. Let's say "asian drama" is a non-concept like "rock music". You do understand the point being huge genre differences. One would hope. Like for me, Stranger 2 was boring as hell, but it's good to add "for me". People do have different opinions. Alice in Borderland is too awful for words - for me.

I agree. I think every episode of Vagabond is better than any James Bond film hahaha. But really, it's so good in terms of action and fun, not a single boring moment. Also politically more weighty than any western action series.

Hot Stove League would be an excellent idea!

Park Hae Jin came back to Kim Go Eun but it was just 2 minutes in the end (after he'd seen sent MOA for several episodes). But it was an ending, imo.

I agree. Even in the case of Vagabond, a better solution would be just to scrap the last episode and throw it in a trash bin so future audiences would not be left with that stupid ending.

Arthdal Chronicles definitely belongs on the list. It was already written, as a whole, for maybe even some 50 episodes. But we know it won't happen, Song Joong Ki was close with the director who will not continue and SJK already doing other stuff. But it would be a dream come true. I'm sure they could make the production smaller and focus on the main plot. Also take better care of the working conditions. But Arthdal Chronicles has inspired so much fan fiction sequels, maybe more than any k-drama. Vagabond of course is another one, but like Song Joong Ki, Lee Seung Gi might not want to go all out on a very action packed and somewhat injuries -risky project another time.

That was an hour and a half well spent. It's all from the dying woman's POV. Sweet drama with food for thought, not depressing despite the theme. Both leads do a very difficult role well. I find the ending was very good, don't think there could have been a better one.

The Bride of Habaek is such a good and fun drama. He puts his everything to that role and the chemistry with Shin Se Kyong is fantastic to watch!

Pls make him the lead in an action film. Legend https://youtu.be/jpEYkmoeIWQ

A heartwarming and feel good drama for us who don't dig much suspense or zombies. There are huge plot holes in this drama but it is still very likeable. The best things are the intelligent dialogue, discussions about psychology, movies and books. The main leads are very likeable, and slowly overcoming their painful experiences as their relationship develops. The murder plot is in key place in the beginning, but somehow drops away to the background in the second half. We are introduced to new characters in the latter half constantly, and their stories don't add anything to the drama. So many unnecessary characters that only have about 15 mins of screen time. And they key character played by Yoon Park doesn't get enough time so we're left guessing what he really was made of. Villains are brought to the picture, who have not been introduced to the viewer at all. So, very lacking in plot development but you'll be won over by the MLs beautiful smile! So sympathetic. FL is a good actress without much chemistry (in this or other dramas).

Very true about the unncessary characters. This is good though for someone like me who has already watched all the similar type of dramas!

A good list for that

"Underrated" means having a score no higher than 8.5 or 8.6. Very few dramas get 9.0 or higher, so dramas lime Prison Playbook (9.1) are definitely not underrated. But I do understand the logic. Just Between Lovers is underrated in the sense that it is not at all well-known, so there is that criterium as well.

Queen for 7 days is a sageuk.

Well said. Just Between Lovers sounds like a fluffy rom com and this is nothing of the sort.

Decided to drop this after episode 8. It's getting too slow, boring and repetitive. Too many discussions with the emotionally cold one-dimensional father and too many flashbacks to youth. Am glad I could read here that it's only going to get worse and 20 episodes clearly is too much. Wasn't impressed by the main leads and their chemistry was nonexistent. This isn't drawing me in to their story emotionally at all. The psychiatrist was the only promising character, but not central enough to keep watching.

This one really is a rollercoaster, not a single dull moment. Highly recommended.
