A quiet corner of MN for serious addicts of Kdrama, or the Kdrama-curious. Most of our viewing is drawn from Netflix and Viki, but the more seriously addicted have other sources, including dramabus.

Previous Threads, with discussion of what we’ve enjoyed and what to avoid:

First thread

Thread 2

Here are some suggestions for shows that we’ve enjoyed - those marked with an asterisk are more uniformly loved:

Because This Is My First Life (Viki)*
Black (Netflix)*
Chicago Typewriter (Viki)*
Don’t Dare to Dream (Netflix, or as Jealousy Incarnate on Viki)*
Fight For My Way (Drama bus)*
Healer (Netflix)*
His Master’s Sun (Netflix)
I Hear Your Voice (Netflix /Viki)
Last Train to Busan - film (Amazon Prime)
Live (Netflix)
Love from a Star (netflix)*
Pinocchio (netflix)
Prison Playbook (Netflix)*
Goblin (Viki)
She Was Pretty (Dramabus/Netflix)
Something in the Rain (Netflix)
Strong Girl Bong Soon (Netflix)
Suspicious Partner (netflix)*
W (Viki & Netflix)*
What’s Up With Secretary Kim (Viki)*
While You Were Sleeping (viki)

We have some lovely occasional posters who have lived in Korea, are Korean or have Korean partners/family members who pop in from time to time to provide the context for some of the more baffling cultural references.

If you want to know your oppas from your unnis try this helpful guide to Korean terms of address and honorifics.

We are generally fans of all things Korean, so equally happy to talk about Korean cookery, film and kpop when the mood takes us. To get to grips with the lingo, try dramaloveaddicts.proboards.com/thread/24/korean-word-day?page=1

If you want to join us down the kdrama rabbit hole, welcome! Pull up a chair, say goodbye to early nights and get stuck in…

Ivalue for Lee Min Ho if you have Viki then Legend of the Blue sea is great fun (and I don't even like Lee min Ho!)
Also Inheritors on Netflix though that has mixed reviews

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 06/02/2019 14:18

Thanks Betty. Watched Inheritors already but will definitely check out legend of the blue sea cheers

Bea · 06/02/2019 14:37

Ivalue... I'd check out some of the recs on "the list".... W two worlds (netflix)... While you were sleeping (viki)... Ahhh! JCW.... come back to us soon! ❤️

Bea · 06/02/2019 14:37

Ivalue... Oops! Apologies if you've already seen those!
Bettys... I've been meaning to check out Legends of the blue sea!...

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 06/02/2019 15:38

Thanks Bea. I haven’t seen While you were sleeping so will definitely check that out also. I swear I’m getting JCW withdrawals. DH said I’ve been moping around all afternoon 😂

Bea · 06/02/2019 15:54

Ivalue... Ahhh! You need to go on Instagram!... There's sooo many JCW gifs and vids!... Hmmmm ❤️😍

bettys · 06/02/2019 15:55

Ivalue here's a little bit of for you!

Bea · 06/02/2019 18:06

Ooo Betty! Good call! I'd forgotten about that one! Have watched Toasty LJS ep but not GRR JCW!.... Xx

Bea · 06/02/2019 18:19

That's hilarious!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 06/02/2019 18:30

Thanks Betty and Bea. Gosh he’s just so fine!

bettys · 06/02/2019 19:18

Mighty fine! 😍😍

Bea · 06/02/2019 19:20

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!! 😍❤️

bettys · 06/02/2019 19:21

I am just about to cook a stir fry and realise I REALLY need big scissors to snip spring onions ( Healer ) and have a pot of onions to hand ( Romance is a Bonus Book )

This kdrama has changed my culinary habits

Bea · 06/02/2019 19:22

Started watching I'm not a robot again... And I'm getting drawn in to the rather sweet storyline!... Decided to give P&P a break as David dickenson /Ian mcshane is really peeing me off with his bullying and shouting!!.. 😡

boatyardblues · 06/02/2019 19:33

I can’t work that 7 First Kisses thing out. Is it a parody or a sketch from another show?

OP posts:
boatyardblues · 06/02/2019 19:35

But Bea! P&P is surely all about Prosecutor Gu?

Bunbunbunny · 06/02/2019 19:48

Finished watching what's wrong with secretary Kim. Loved it! Need to find something else to start on, thinking of looking on Netflix as I want to download them and watch on way to work

bettys · 06/02/2019 19:48

7 First Kisses is a web drama sponsored by Lotte Duty Free where the duty free girl gets visited by a fairy godmother who gives her the chance to have 7 kisses. Makes sense if you watch the first ep but obv. I've just skipped to the oppas Grin

boatyardblues · 06/02/2019 19:51

Bunny! I thought we’d scared you off with our inane chatter. What did you think of the VC in Sec Kim? I think he cones across like a vain, controlling arse but Betty and Bea love him.

OP posts:
bettys · 06/02/2019 19:52

Bunbunbunny Healer or Suspicious Partner on Netflix do it do it do it you'll forget to get off the tube!

bettys · 06/02/2019 19:53

boatyardblues oi!!! Right i'm not telling you where i found Tunnel !

boatyardblues · 06/02/2019 19:55

😭 Pretty please?

OP posts:
Bea · 06/02/2019 20:04

Bettys! You are truly a master at finding where to watch the missing kdramas!

Boatyard! I know P&P is all about Gu (and kang Soo! ❤️❤️)... But! Ian mcshane is just horrible!

Bunny! If you like sec Kim,... she was pretty on netflix with lovely vice chair... We don't listen to Boatyard and remain loyal to Vice Chair PSJ ❤️😍🤣... and my current fave Lee Jong Suk.. Pinnochio (net)... W two worlds (net) while you were sleeping (viki) definitely worth a look!... Healer and Suspicious Partner as bettys said (Ji Chang Wook has not disappointed anyone yet! ❤️❤️❤️) sigh! So much for you to look forward to!... Oh, and if you want a great blubfest my love from a star net... Super funny but the ending is lovely!... And very very blub worthy!

bettys · 06/02/2019 20:06

Humph well....

It's on dramafast which has annoying commercials but so far no dodgy pop-ups. I think it was dramabus originally. I am enjoying the story (just started ep 2) but no snogging so far, and not sure there will be as he is married. However am enjoying him in serious cop mode, especially when he crinkles into a wonky smile.

Bea · 06/02/2019 20:34

Ahhh! Bettys! Queen of the dodgy pop up!! 🤣🤣🤣
