Gyeongseong Creature
(2023 - Netflix, 10 1:10 eps)Unusual in that it depicts the Japanese occupation in 1945 & the war crimes. Many actors turned down the roles because the topic is too sensitive.
When you hate horror, but you find yourself rooting for the creature, you know the writing & acting are fabulous. The costumes are wonderful, the sets, the props, all superbly executed. It is a stellar production.
An unwilling hero finds himself "drafted". Enlisting the help of professional detectives, they set off to find out what exactly is happening. It's a great mystery thriller with action, family & community, & romance.
The questions of what would you do under torture, what do you turn a blind eye to, how much risk are you willing to take, will haunt you as you see what the characters are up against.
Anxiously awaiting part 2.

Just finished "Soundtrack #1" on Disney. Do Not listen to this with the English dub! The English actors sound like they are reading from cue cards. Horrible! The show loses all meaning. I watched in Korean with English sub-titles and you can hear the emotion so much better.
It’s a very short (4 episodes) series about patient love & loving someone more than yourself. Park Hyung-sik does an amazing job at conveying this quiet love.

Welcome to Samdal-ri
(2023 - 16 1:10 eps)Raised together in a village on Jeju island, the leads' romance is inevitable, but for drama reasons, they are torn apart. At 1st this seemed very flat. Although there are some great actors, there wasn't enough depth to the characters & the FL wasn't very likable.
The writing could have been better, but the side stories eventually worked to support the main story & gave lessons about needing & accepting help from family, friends, & village. OK romance - best friends in love instead of passionate lovers, which fits the story. Some side stories could have been better - problems were instantly resolved with a couple of sentences.
Jeju is beautiful. Diving is interesting. Kim Mi Kyung is fabulous, as always. The 2 sisters are cute & fun, & the little girl is just the best! Not the drama I thought it would be, but a decent watch.

Melting Me Softly
(2019 - Viki, 16 1:05 eps)An interesting idea for a story - 2 people volunteer to be frozen for a day, but due to evil shenanigans, wake up 20 years later to a changed world, friends, & family.
The cast is full of phenomenal talent. Although the FL has disappointed me in 2 dramas now. The screen writer wrote one of my favorites, "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon," but here was just a full-of-tropes drama with some silliness. There could have been a profound statement about the passage of time changing our values & perspectives, but it missed the mark, didn't use the crime or the secondary characters to emphasize a theme (as she did in SWDBS).
Ji Chang Wook & the other wonderful actors save it as a cute romcom, but it really could have been so much more. That said I did laugh & even shed a few tears, but don't expect a lot.

I wouldn’t say that “The K2” is better than Healer. I don’t think the story is as well developed. But if you love Ji Chang Wook fighting, it is a great watch. He won an award for “Best Dressed Actor” for it.

Hotel del Luna
(2019 Netflix, Watchparty 16 1:20 eps)I watched 1 eps a week with a Fri night watch party. It was great to watch with a group of people well educated in Asian cultures and mythology. I learned so much of the symbolism and meaning in the beautiful cinematography and the story. It is about learning to forgive, or at least accept the past and the consequences, even if unfair, to be able to move forward.
It's funny, touching, and heart-wrenching. The FL costumes are glorious. This is the first time I've seen IU and have become a big fan. She's an amazing actress. The other actors were also wonderful.

Fated to Love You
(2014 - Viki, 20 1:00 eps)With a 9.5 on Viki & 8.1 on MDL, it should have been on the radar before now!
It's a wonderful, rich chaebol meets a timid, lower class girl romCOM with no murders. It deals with a tragic type of loss in a beautiful way, even though it has slapstick & silly humor and a sweet romance. It handles overlapping love triangles very well. The rich chaebol with a maniacal laugh & the timid girl are shown to have reasons for their behavior. Even the noble idiocy rang true in this one.
Animations & crazy sound effects are fabulous. Acting was 10 yrs ago over the top style, but fits the drama really well. All the characters were acted well. The music was so fun. There is a sweet side story that's contrived but still works. A very enjoyable watch! I will look for more of the leads' work.

It's Okay, That's Love
(2014 - Viki, 16 1:00 eps)A mental health medical drama, with a bit of comedy, romance, & mystery, but mostly about a group of psychiatrists, a famous author, & a few patients, where everyone has trauma of some kind. The episodes deal with different mental health problems as well as the healing & growth of the main characters.
The story was well-done, the acting was great, & it had a good OST. My favorite "mom" - Kim Mi Kyung - portrayed a mom with a complex story. The ML & DO were perfect together. The character of the FL was difficult for me to sympathize with. I often found her actions unexplainable. The ending was a tiny bit rough, but satisfactory enough. It was worth the watch for me.
I liked the overall message of acceptance.

@whoosh I said that before watching it 😂. It has some funny moments, but it's not good enough in my perspective.
Humour is quite subjective though, maybe you'll appreciate it more than me -

Heartbeat
(2023 Amazon, 16 1hr eps)It makes me sad to see a drama with so much potential fall flat. Unfortunately, that's my feeling on "Heartbeat." The scenery & settings were great. The ML's costuming was gorgeous. There were interesting side characters, witty lines, & some swoon-worthy moments. The 1st half was very entertaining, but the 2nd half floundered.
The side characters didn't have stories of their own. No parallel or contrasting 2nd storyline to emphasize the 1st. Aside from the 2 leads, there was minimal character development. Vampire lore was minimal & made up for convenience.
The acting was very good. Taecyeon does most of the heavy lifting here, but the other actors were believable & did well with what they were given.
Describing a Vampire drama as cute seems weird, but that's what I'd say, cute, with a dissatisfying ending.

She Would Never Know (2021 Netflix)This was another attempt to find a relaxing romantic comedy. I wouldn’t call this one a comedy, but it was nice. It’s a slow build with mature relationships and problems. The trick of balancing life and work - ambition or relationship - is explored.
The side couples were all very interesting and I actually wish we could have seen more of their stories.
It’s a good, steady story and makes for a nice watch.

Hwarang: The Poet Warrior YouthThis watch was even better! The episodes seem 5 minutes long.
I had watched originally for my Park Hyung Sik & Park Seo Joon quests. Now I see so many familiar faces. The acting is top-notch.
For BTS fans, this was V's acting debut & he won an award for Best Idol Actor that year.
I paid much more attention to the music (which I loved before, but now I see the contribution to the story & love that 3 of the actors sang tracks).
Now that I've seen several historicals, I appreciate the costuming here - the details are gorgeous.
Not to mention over the top swashbuckling fighting in silk robes, sweet moments, funny, seasoned actors, & shower scenes.
I think this will continue to be a holiday tradition.

Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth
(2016 - Viki, 20 1:00 eps)For a holiday treat, I rewatched Hwarang (1st watched in March '23 - just 6 months into my kDrama hobby).
I'll put the summary here & my thoughts in a comment because I ran into a character limit.
It's a story of political intrigue. The Queen Mother sends the crown prince into hiding for his safety. He never develops the relationships he needs to take power & doesn't have confidence in his ruling abilities. Through a new group of young warriors (the Hwarang), the future king discovers himself & his abilities. There is a lot of comedy, but the political story takes over the last 3 - 4 episodes. There's bromance & romance. Watching the friendships develop between the Hwarang is one of my favorite things.

The Secret Life of My Secretary
(2019 - Viki, 32 0:35 eps)Perfect for a relaxing, silly romcom! The leads have super-cute chemistry. A typical chaebol & overworked, underappreciated secretary trope with the tiny twist of the boss having a disability that makes him very reliant on his secretary. The 2nd leads are great - especially Veronica Park - she's so over-the-top it's amusing. All 4 leads get some good character development.
Turn your brain off to believe some of the plot, and it's all good fun. This would be a good one to play kDrama bingo with - so many tropes. Although, the mystery of what's happening in the company is unexpected. There's just enough angst - worrying about who's behind the trouble & whether the secretary's secret will be discovered - to keep it interesting.

From Now On, Showtime!
(2022 - Viki, 16 1:13 eps)A romcom with great comedy & decent romance! It has magic & past lives (similar to Destined with You - but without the frustration some felt of the delayed backstory & the magic tapering off, but less romance). A magician who was destined to be a shaman uses ghosts for his magic act, making him a superstar. It has a serial killer, demons, police corruption, great side characters, & wonderful acting.
When the magician partners with the spunky police officer, they make a great crime-fighting duo. Park Hae Jin plays the cold, confident guy who slowly discovers more about himself - a part he does very well. Jin Ki Joo is so good at being cute & badass. They have good chemistry & were nominated for a best couple award. Nearly all the characters have good growth & the various storylines complement each other.

Marry My Husband
(2024 - Prime, 16 1:10 eps)Changing fate by going back in time with the twist that fate is fate. Who ends up with that fate by changing their own behavior & circumstances is the story here.
A woman who has never stood up for herself dies at the hands of her cheating husband. Waking up 10 years earlier, she learns to advocate for herself.
Great acting by all - special mention for Park Min Young & Song Ha Yoon. Their commitment to their roles was evident. Lee Yi Kyung brings humor to his villain, which provides relief from the outright madness of the other antagonists.
The great side stories are relief from the revenge & craziness.
The show hit double digit ratings domestically & is trending internationally. It's a great watch.

Eulachacha Waikiki (Welcome to Waikiki / Laughter in Waikiki)
(2018 Netflix 20 1:05 eps)Some say this is the funniest series ever. I watched because I liked Kim Jung Hyun so much in Mr. Queen. It is funny. I did LOL several times, but much of the humor seemed silly & slapstick to me. The romances were cute at times and there was some character development. There are a couple of characters that I didn't like at first, but they grew on me. Some of their behavior was so childish it drove me crazy. It wasn't my favorite, but still decent. If you really like that kind of humor, you will probably love it. The baby is adorable. I doubt I will follow up with season 2.

I had seen several recommendations for “The Legend of the Blue Sea". I have enjoyed both leads in other works and the story sounded interesting so I started watching. It ended up being a binge. It is really good. One of my favorites out of almost 60 dramas watched.
It’s a mermaid story, but it is also a historical drama set within a present day story. An interesting mystery with a few unexpected twists, some fun mermaid magic and wonderful acting make this a very fun watch. Jun Ji-hyun is a fantastic comedic actress - she made me laugh out loud a few times.
It will definitely be on my rewatch list.

Dr. Romantic Season 2
(2020 - Viki, 16 avg 1:10 eps)Han Seok Kyu, as Master Kim, delivers another wonderful season where he seems to be the only senior doctor in S.K. with morals. I enjoyed this season more than the 1st. Set in a rural hospital with many trauma cases, it makes an intense training ground for doctors.
We get some great returning characters & new doctors with problems for Master Kim to help with. Although I would have liked to see a bit more character dev in the new doctors, I hope maybe the 3rd season was planned so we can see more dev. then?
The medical cases are interesting & we see so much of the procedures - sometimes I have to look away. The romances were nice, but all felt like they were just starting & we'll have to see how they work out next season.
