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…

Good spot Betty. I think Se-Ra is the sister, but everything’s still up in the air.

Ahhh! You two! 😁... Thank you for consideration Boatyard!

I love your ref to the Chinese hopping vampire /zombie... There was a brilliant Chinese film I watched in my teenage years which had the hopping vampires! They were hilarious! And the way you could ward them off was with sticky rice grains!... Your mention just really took me back! I should try and find it! I loved that film!

bettys · 02/03/2019 12:56

Hopping vampires 😆 I’d like to see that film, so share if you find it Bea!

Boatyardblues thanks for the explanation, wish they did that on Netflix like they do on Viki

Bea · 02/03/2019 13:43

Bettys... Think this is it!
😍😂

bettys · 02/03/2019 14:12

Fabulous!! That’s a treat in store for a rainy Day 👌👻😆

bettys · 02/03/2019 15:45

FFS how could you resist CJH for THAT LONG????

boatyardblues · 02/03/2019 16:00

I know!

bettys · 02/03/2019 18:24

I’m warming to ML even though he’s a pillock.
CJH is looking mighty fine though

boatyardblues · 02/03/2019 18:43

Agree on all counts Betty.

A double swag of RIABB with Toasty LJS being adorbs will help me get over that bereft feeling when you finish a good ‘un

boatyardblues · 02/03/2019 19:03

I realised earlier another episode of Romance had dropped and was pondering whether to take a break from Destiny, but you’re right I should finish Destiny.

Nevermind the drama ladies!... BTS have announced another date at Wembley and I'm seriously feeling gung ho and considering attempting to go for crazy priced tickets!!... My reasons!... It's Wembley! May as get as close as I can!... I'll never see them again!... Their music is just so much fun!... You only live once!..

Tell me I'm completely losing it! 😱😭😱😭😱😭😱

bettys · 02/03/2019 20:01

If you’re gonna go you might as well go all out!!!

Bea · 02/03/2019 20:06

Bettys! That's my thinking!! 😱😂😂😂

boatyardblues · 02/03/2019 20:46

Bea, you have it bad!

Finished Destiny - good ending, all loose ends resolved. 👍

Have any of you heard of The Guardian (Chinese) ... I've heard loads of praise and love for it on tumbler...
Its got a legendary Bromance (which in the original story was a gay love story... But to get past the censors they bromanced it!) and great supernatural story line,... It's available on YouTube... Might take a peek sometime but just wondered if anyone had heard of it..

Bea · 02/03/2019 20:49

the guardian

Bea · 02/03/2019 21:10

Boatyard!.... I know! 😭😭😭😭😭

I blame you lot for pushing me down this Korean Rabbit Hole! 🤣😁☹️

boatyardblues · 02/03/2019 22:15

I’m now cooling my heels wondering what to start next.

Just spotted a kdrama called Money Flower on Netflix which stars ML from Destiny, if you end up hankering for more Betty.

OP posts:
boatyardblues · 02/03/2019 22:48

He suits much shorter hair - have dipped into Money Flower and he’s playing a taciturn attorney. The role suits him.

OP posts:
bettys · 02/03/2019 22:55

He’s also in Wok of Love but I didn’t really like the character in that.

Bea · 02/03/2019 23:00

Blood! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Bea · 02/03/2019 23:00

Heading into last ep!
