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:

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…

It’s become a habit. I am more indifferent than hating on the Vice President, truth be told. It’s LJS that is causing me more difficulty - he’s likeable, but also a bit smug. I can’t quite work him out to decide whether he makes the drinking buddy list or not.

boatyard you just can't let it go !

Whoah waffle guy was so cute!! Well done Wink

Bizarrely it makes me like CEO Park more now I can visualise him in waffle guy mode.

Hmmmm LJS down the pub for the Oppas night......I think if he brings his bessie mate Jung Hae-In it's a shoo-in

I now want to see CEO Park in a role where he gets the girl. However the last thing he was in - The Guest - he played a catholic priest so that's no good Angry

We’re way past the DIY now. He’s in torment because he’s in love with another man and he’s not gay. There’s something a bit cruel about the set-up, particularly when every man and his dog (yes, literally) knows she’s female.

Me too, have just finished 17 but 30. Very sweet.
Am willing myself not to see if all the subs are up for last Empress so this is for me 🥾🥾🍑

Particularly because there are numerous scenes when lady lumps are apparent.

Final bedtime brainfart: my fave scene in Coffee Prince so far has been that great big floofy Old English Sheepdog coming down the playground slide front paws first. His paws are massive and so furry. I like the dog even more than Gong Yoo in his towel and Kim Jae-Wook with a man bun. Grin

bettys · 23/02/2019 07:20

Yy Patently-obvious-girl really liked the dog more than the owner, who I thought was a bit bleurgh.

Yeah, his attractiveness is questionable IMO, though his house and garden are lovely. I like the remote hillside setting with the bright lights of Seoul in the distance.

And the girl who keeps running away from waffly nice CEO PArk - why would you?????

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 23/02/2019 11:10

Thanks everyone , I had a browse of what Viki offers and I like Smile

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 23/02/2019 11:14

I have noticed the surname Park or Parke is very common .

My latest eye candy is this fella . Dinky lovely little face in perfect sync
He is the star of The Defendant Ji Song .
