Choi Hyunjin is one of the best child actors in this generation. He was so amazing in "The King of Pigs" and I instantly love him. His acting is outstanding and he was even doing action scenes at the age of 13. He deserves to win awards for it. His current drama is "The Killing Vote" and I'm again impressed by him. He's playing a creepy psychopath and he gave me goosebumps especially with his close up shot.
I'm really looking forward to see more of his projects especially when he gets lead roles. He's doing more thriller dramas and he also suits for movies. I hope those top directors will see his talent and cast him!
Some people here in the comments are saying he can't act and overrated... Well Taehyung is not a full actor and he's a musician first and foremost. He only did one drama with a supporting role and he's not active in the acting industry to be called as a bad actor. He hasn't shown his full potential yet, but there's still people who liked him in his only role and it's being anticipated for him to continue on acting. And the rankings here in kisskh is not an actual award but just a popularity voting by fans. Everyone will hype and support whoever they like. Taehyung is a worldwide superstar and his fame will still reflect on the rankings even if he's not an active actor. There's no need to be bitter about that.
PS. Dramas are not the only ones listed in this website, there's also tons of variety shows and documentaries. And if you want to see more of his acting, BTS has a fictional storyline/universe on their music videos and short films where Taehyung proved his amazing acting skills.
With the start of BTS' Chapter 2 in 2022, they're venturing more on their solo activities. Taehyung and Seokjin are the members who people wanted to see go on acting since before.
Taehyung is the only member who debuted as an actor, but it's just a one supporting role back in 2016. With his solo activities so far, it looks like he's not going on the actor route. Taehyung is active in fashion gimmicks, reality shows and recently had his solo debut for his album. All BTS members has really established themselves as musicians and they're still focusing on music even on their hiatus as a group. But it also seems like Taehyung will only try acting again when he's in his 30s.
If Taehyung ever gets a lead role, I hope he will choose a serious project like thriller or melodrama that can give him challenging roles and showcase strong acting. People are always so harsh to idol actors who leads in romcoms with typical roles.
I've been watching dramas for a long time (12+ years) and I scratch my head when people say 'Kdramas used to be…
Exactly. Korean movies are well known for thrillers and most of their classic masterpieces are dark, disturbing, graphic. Kdramas are more known for romcom, but they have various genres too. There's literally OCN, a whole channel dedicated to thriller dramas. Other networks also makes thrillers. But some kdrama fans are now being too negative about it, especially with the thriller dramas from Netflix because they think it's "just a new trend that's catering to westerners". Thrillers has always been Koreans' expertise for ages and it's getting more recognition now. Some kdrama fans may not be aware of it since they only watched romcoms, but some of them are also just pretending since they hate that thriller dramas are becoming mainstream with the help of Netflix's popularity. They want to gatekeep kdramas.
I didn't realize that the bullied girl was the one who appeared as the head of NIS and knowing her secret ability is surprising. It's actually scary.
This drama is really enjoyable but the part I really hate is the school bullying. There's many extreme bullying cases in kdramas, but this one was the worse. It's literally 20 girls and boys trying to kill 1 girl with all types of weapons. If she didn't have her special ability then it would've been over. It's also very frustrating how they did it openly in the field with many witnesses, but no one stopped them or defended Heesoo when she got expelled while taking all the blame. But what confuses me is how the first bullied girl didn't fight back when she's rich. Usually, the victims are poor, unlike in here where she could easily use her family's connection and power to stop and punish the bullies. I also felt off how she transferred to Heesoo's new school.
And with the theories about her, it seems like it was all intentional and just one of her schemes throughout the years. She's the main villain in this drama who's been hiding in the shadows and we might see more of her in season 2.
"SPEC: Birth" is my #1 favorite jdrama of all time! I was so interested with all the characters and their abilities. I specifically love the unique female lead. The SPEC dramas/specials/movies are precious to me and I'm happy how it really made me feel like I was part of their world.
PS. I watched this drama years ago and I'm disappointed to myself when I couldn't remember the title (it took me around 3 minutes).
One of the dramas I'm really looking forward... Natural disaster is rare in kdramas and this is going to be the main plot for this drama with the survival of trapped students. It already sounds intense!
I was really expecting a lot for "Goodbye Earth" since it's the first kdrama about end of the world and I really love that kind of stuff. It's sad that it's being postponed because of the actor's scandal...
But it's also bothering how many people are defending and justifying the actions of the actor. Drugs is literally illegal and he's going to get punished for it. Netflix may be an American company, but their kdramas are still solely Korean production and their headquarters are different. Westerners gets away easily but it's not the same in Asia. Also, nowadays where everything gets attention, problematic celebrities will immediately get cancelled. But this case is serious and it's not just a random 'cancel culture' that can easily get a pass.
PS. "Baby It's Over Outside" is actually the first kdrama about end of the world, but it's just a short 1 episode drama.
"Sweet Home" is one of my favorite dramas and I'm looking forward to "Gyeongseong Creature". I'm sure I'll also love this drama since it's about fighting against monsters. I just hope SH S2 and GC won't coincide with each other and they get release many months from each other.
kisskh should edit the order of the cast. From the intro video of this drama, the names are listed by Sohyun-Minhyun-Jioh-Jihoon-Siwoo. The CEO's role is bigger and always have longer screentime than the second leads and they should be marked instead as support roles. Later with the plot twist revealed, we finally understood his part.
I used to think the title of "My Lovely Liar" refers to Doha, but he wasn't a liar at all. Maybe it's about the CEO after all? 😂
Anyway, even though this drama is over, I'm still bitter how they changed the original title of "Useless Lies" to "My Lovely Liar" as the English title. I just like how "Useless Lies" is unique and it kinda rhymes.
Kim Sohyun shared in a new interview: “These days, I’ve been doing romances one after another, so I’m thinking a lot about things that aren’t romances. Whether it’s action or a rough genre. I think it might be new and fun to try something like that.”
So this feels like a hint that she'll accept "Good Boy". In my opinion, I've always wanted to see Sohyun in a non-romance drama where she can show a new potential with her strong acting and while working with A-list veteran actors. This drama seems like the perfect fit for it and I can't wait to hear more news about this.
The old dramas of Sohyun that are non-romance with veteran actors are: 1. "The Suspicious Housekeeper" (2013, family) with Choi Jiwoo 2. "Reset" (2014, thriller) with Chun Jungmyung 3. "Nightmare Teacher" (2016, horror) with Uhm Kijoon
She also have "We All Cry Differently" (2014) and "Page Turner" (2016) that are non-romance youth dramas, it's really good but it's only short drama specials. "Good Boy" is an action, youth, crime, comedy drama so I'm expecting high for it.
Wow this drama is truly one of a kind. It's just so good and cool that it makes me cry and keep wanting for more. It's so impactful, emotional and unforgettable - a perfect 10. It has everything and they balanced it well from action, thriller, supernatural, slice of life, romance, family, school. I feel like this might become the highest rated drama in kisskh. Usually, the ratings can be tricky depending on the viewers taste of genres, but this drama is for everyone. Not just in personal preference, but in general quality, this drama is definitely a brilliant masterpiece.
The style and format are also unique and engaging. Each episodes introduces new characters and different timelines. The way the plot is presented is different as if they're new, but they're all connected. It's one of the captivating parts in this drama and it made me more attached to the characters. "Moving" is opening a new door for kdramas and it has a great potential to have its own universe. I'm really looking forward to what the writers have in store!
Honestly, I don't like it when older actors play as highschool teenagers. Actors in early 20s can still pass, but those in 30s?! I love Yim Siwan and he looks cute based on the stills, but I still kinda feel off about this.
Read the synopsis: Oh it's about highschool students in the 1980s. Saw the cast: What?! They're gonna play as teenagers? Uh... Saw the stills: Mmm, not that bad. Their styling is interesting.

Just reading the synopsis is already making me tired... It's ‘A Hard Day’. But this is black comedy, so I might like it. I'll watch this drama when it's completed.
This might be random, but can someone make an article and discussion about the weird bandwagon hate of some kdrama fans towards Netflix original kdramas, specifically the dark thriller dramas?
Everyone has their own tastes and opinions, but it's obvious that those people who keeps on complaining are self proclaimed veteran kdrama fans who think kdramas are all romance and should stay "pure", so they're not used about thriller becoming more popular and they're just bitter that it's getting more success and attention around the world. It's also being watched by non-kdrama fans, so they accuse it as "appealing/targeted/made for western audiences".
I saw someone in twitter saying that Netflix original kdramas are "losing cultural context" when in fact, most of their dramas are actually showing the dark reality and it's deeply rooted to their society, culture, etc. It has meaning and relevance.
The top 5 highly acclaimed Netflix original kdramas are literally these: 1. Squid Game - It's based on traditional Korean children's games. 2. Kingdom - A literal historical drama. 3. DP - It's about the mandatory military enlistment. 4. The Glory - It's based on a true bullying case. 5. Move to Heaven - It's based on true stories and adapted from an essay by a real professional trauma cleaner.
