KDrama Addicts Anonymous (thread 3)

[boatyardblues]

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 is, I use Viki or Asian Wiki for details often.

On a side note my latest research is top try & find the duvet cover brand they use in 30 but 17 I am probably going to have to go & look at the product placement

One More Time was one of my very very early kdramas... Prob third one I watched... It's OK but its didn't set me on fire!...

Fight My Way! ❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍

Awww! I think I've still got soft spot for Sec Kim!.. Just for the office staff and sisters alone! 😘😍

PSJ is a lad, isn’t he? I’m 12 min into Fight My Way and its not floating my boat today. I am basically hankering after another Because this is my first life. Mellow is where I’m at right now.

Fair enough if you’re not in the mood for it today, but another time it really is worth persevering with.

Basically I just want the rest of Romance ISBB and I want it now

I just finished the last 40 min of Coffee Prince after a 2 day break. Kim Jae-Wook is so handsome, I wish there was more of his stuff on Netflix. (He’s listed as Kim Jae-uck.)

There isn’t any on Viki either, I’ve looked.
We’re just going to have to wait for his new series with Her-that-gets-to-snog-all-the-hot-guys

Basically I just want the rest of Romance ISBB and I want it now

Seconded.

I stumbled back into FantastiC earlier, which I binned because the ML was annoying but he’s meant to be. I might give it another try. However, long day & I kept nodding off, so I’m switched off and am heading to bed shortly.

Yeah, I checked Viki too for PJW. Boo! They have lots of it, but UK fans are denied!

I meant KJ-W (Kim Jae-wook). The whole CEO Park in Temp of Love vs RL name is a crossed wire in my brain.

The guy from Hwarang! And Vice Chair have had a meet up.!... As their v. cute doggies have appeared on the BTS twitter feed! ❤️😍😂😂😂
Soooo cute!.... And so are the doggies! 🤣😁

Aw puppy playdate!!

KLAXON!

I Am Not A Robot on Netflix...

other then scrolling through and clicking on coming soon... is there any way to find out new releases on netflix... like a list or a website that posts daily? and how often do they add new stuff on netflix?
How can we keep up?

Ooh well spotted, more & more stuff keeps crossing from Viki to Netflix.

Their recently added button is crap. It’s very hit and miss when I find stuff, I usually find by searching by oppa 😆

other than just clicking through endlessly... it's impossible to keep up!

I worry that we're missing something really really good!!!!! Grr JCW - haven't see you around for a while!!!!

Netflix - The Empress Ki with Grr JCW!...

was that there before???? I've completely lost track!!!!

Hell's teeth is that there???? I've been looking for that for ages he is seriously hot in it! Right that's my next binge...

KLAXON!!

boatyardblues on Netflix is You are my Destiny otherwise known as Fated To Love yOU with CJH as 2ML with SLS

Also Two Cops with Jo Yung Suk

Seriously need a better way of finding new progs it's all a bit random

OOOooooo! I'sd bookmarked Two Cops because it looked interesting! Who is Jo Yung Suk and what makes him bingeable!????

I don’t need a search facility when you two are so diligent. Some great suggestions today that are going straight on my list.

He’s the chef in Oh My Ghost & announcer in Don’t Dare to Dream . Tbh Two Cops isn’t as good as either of those, I watched on daebak I think & skipped a bit. Good bromance.

I’ve seen clips from Empress Ki & Grrr JCW is very bitey lip in it but it is 40 hour long episodes!! Might be a long binge

And another CJH one just added is Pasta but it's 2010 so probably small part but it does have Gong Hyo-Jin in who is usually good.

Betty beat me to it on Pasta. I’m just watching the opening scenes on an empty stomach - bad move, as the first 5 min is all chefs plating up yummy pasta dishes and steaks. 😛

2ML from Coffee Prince is in Pasta (ep 1, from about 15 min). I recognised his voice and looks much better without glasses.
