Lmao finally a way for me to campaign for my favourite underrated shows. Its a pity that this list is suffering a little from popularity bias though, like the top 10 are all wildly popular shows. They are no doubt great shows, but its little hard to believe they are 'underrated' when so many people have watched and contributed that that average score.
PS. please watch Love Affairs in the Afternoon!! I had my reservations because of the premise of affairs but when I finally watched it, I was blown away by the poetic storytelling and cinematography. It definitely does NOT romanticize affairs but it does leave you in a depressive mood and a lot of pain lol
I can tell most of the plot just by watching the trailer and looking at the cast. My guess is at least one of…
Saying that is the same as saying you can guess the plot of all romance kdramas. Like wow I can totally guess that the main leads are gonna get together, have their first kiss around episode 11, have some situation that will make them break up or separate around episode 13 but get back together within one episode, then live happily ever after. In fact, kdramas out of all other types of dramas, have one of the most predictable overarching plot. But that doesn't mean that the dramas can't be good though?
The reason I love this drama so much, and the reason I think its a good watch is because its a very uniquely character driven show. The way the cast bounces off each other has been simultaneously hilarious and heart wrenching. The show toes the line between lighthearted family comedy and emotionally heavy drama very well. This is probably owed to the good management of the enormous cast, with each of them getting the right amount of screen time to develop their characters.
You said that one of the divorced couples are probably gonna get back together, and you're probably right, the show doesn't try to hide it either. Despite that, they have become my favourite couple among all kdramas I've watched this year. I don't wanna spoil much more but, so far, they have provided some of the funniest moments of the show, and at the same time ripped my heart to pieces.
TL;DR I hope you'll be bored enough to give this show a shot lol
