A Korean Odyssey
(2017 - 20 1:20 eps)Hong Sisters once again take a classic novel (Journey to the West - China) & adapt it into a Korean epic. I watched with people who read the book, so I had more insight into the characters than usual.
A story about deities & humans, & good & evil. Lee Seung Gi is fabulous as a mean god forced to help a lowly human. The secondary characters (my favorite zombie ever) are truly gems, bringing comedy & heartfelt emotions into supplemental storylines. Many unique characters - a monkey, a piggy, an octopus/dragon king, devil kings, a zombie, a priestess, evil spirits & more - create an interesting story..
Coats are amazing. Bromance is funny & sweet. CGI is mostly crappy. OST is great. Story is out there, but generally very good. I thought the ending of some storylines failed a bit in just the last episode.

Alchemy of Souls
(2022 - Netflix, 20 1:20 eps)The best Hong sisters' drama, incorporating elements of Camelot & the Lady of the Lake with lots of symbolism.
Set in a fictional country, with some Joseon-inspired costumes, it is the story of mages who work to fight evil. It has comedy, romance, battles, magic, political intrigue, gorgeous sets & costumes, marvelous writing, & great OST. The main love story is epic. The bromance is touching. The 2 leads shine in their roles, but all the acting is excellent. The sword fighting in silk robes will make you swoon. While having some classic story elements, it's fresh and profound.
What are previous generations responsible for? Do your desires outweigh societal goals? How does society treat outcasts? Is a hierarchical society sustainable? Besides laughing & crying, you'll be pondering these questions too.

@whoosh
From all of the shows I've watched so far, #Navillera was by far the best at identifying/addressing issues that occur later in life. I also thought that #HometownChaChaCha did well in this area.
There are definitely a lot of excellent actors who are ageing gracefully and could play leading characters. I'd certainly like to see more of that. -

Cheer Up
(2022 - Viki 16 1:10 eps)Yeonhee University's cheer squad has a long history, including a terrifying prophecy. A poor woman concerned only about supporting her family & paying tuition is persuaded to join the cheer squad for money. She realizes there is value in doing things you enjoy & having relationships. Other members of the cheer squad also find value in belonging & having others cheer you on.
Interesting look at an unfamiliar (to the U.S.) part of Korean campus life. The love triangle is intense (big-time 2nd ML syndrome) & really becomes the story, making the message take 2nd place. The criminal's motives are mostly glossed over & the crime-ing was very uneven, but since it wasn't central to the story, it's okay. Not a lot of character development, but it did try to present a good message. Some great acting saved the show & made for a very fun watch.

My Roommate is a Gumiho (2021 - Viki, 16 1hr 10min episodes)Looked for a light-hearted romcom and this fit the bill. An enjoyable story, good acting, funny at times, but I did tear up here and there too. After seeing Jang Ki-yong in "Search: WWW", I wanted to see him in something else. He surprised me with how comedic he can be. Lee Hye-ri also portrayed her character well. Nothing earth-shattering, but a very pleasant little romcom.

Branding in Seongsu
(2024 - Viki, 25 0:35 eps)It's a *love* it or hate it drama. Great characters with a lot of development - a strong FL, who is neither good nor bad, & a sweet, down to earth ML. Great chemistry & both leads did a fantastic job of playing the other when their souls swapped bodies.
Not one to take too seriously, the thriller part even has a bunny. The characters of the "underdog" team provide great comic relief & teach our leads a thing or two. It does have some unexpected twists and characters who aren't what they seem.
The intro is well-designed, & the costuming & scenery coordination make a great visual statement. It's a fun binge watch that gets good after 4-5 eps, throws you for a loop toward the end, then recovers well.

Almost finished with “Kill Me, Heal Me” a 2015 #kDrama with Ji Sung, Hwang Jung-eum, & Park Seo-joon. I started watching as part of my "Watch Everything with Park Seo-joon Quest”.
The first few episodes were a little annoying - there is a lot of screaming from the female lead. But by episode 5, I was hooked.
I am now on episode 18 (out of 20) and am looking forward to seeing how it all wraps up.
Although I started watching because of PSJ (he is excellent in this show), I became a huge fan of Ji Sung. He carries off an amazing acting feat. There is a lot of laughing & crying with this one.

Longing Heart / My First Love
(2018 - Viki, 10 0:55 eps)Time travel always makes for some great comedy & some philosophical questions. What if we could change something we regret? In this drama, time travel has a lot of loopholes, but as a means to go back & get a different result, it does its job.
The story is somewhat confusing & messy, but in the end finishes up nicely with some unexpected twists. I think part of the problem is that the 2 actors playing present & past don't look enough alike.
A little comedy, a little tragedy, and some tugging at heartstrings make a sweet drama. The romance teeters on the edge of icky with high school/teacher romances but recovers well (if you keep the time slip in mind). The bromance is sweet. The best part is the enduring relationship of all the friends.

Queen of Divorce
(2024 - Viki, 12 1:20 eps)Excited to see Kang Ki Young, a great actor, in a romantic lead. He did not disappoint. Lee Ji Ah's acting was also great. The script could have been better though.
FL is betrayed by her husband & his family. She opens a practice to help people get divorced & her former prosecutor friend joins her. They slowly learn more about what happened to her as they help clients get the divorces they deserve.
Crime, love, regrets, & fun side characters make for an interesting drama. If you miss the reason why the FL married her husband in the 1st place, your feelings about the FL may be really skewed toward hating her. As happens frequently, the strong FL makes stupid decisions that end up making her a damsel in distress. That was the thing I liked least about this drama.

The Judge from Hell (2024)
(2024 - Disney+ 14 1:10 eps)Justitia, the judge of Murderer's Hell sends a non-sinner to hell. Her punishment is to go to earth & find unforgiven, unrepentant murderers & send them to hell. She meets a detective who could foil her plans.
Great special FX, fabulous outfits, fun & relevant OST, & good writing. A lot of violence, but it fits the rage &/or vengeance of the perpetrator. Park Shin Hye in her best role yet! She did many of her own stunts. Kim Jae Young portrayed a vulnerable, tortured soul brilliantly.
"What is Justice?" is integrated into the story, with everyone judging everyone. Who & how should judging happen tie it all together. As Justitia becomes empathetic to the victims' suffering, her understanding of judging changes. The director took a weighty theme, with suspense & drama, but made it fun at times, & even teased the audience - very well done!

Kiss Goblin
(2020 Viki, 12 12 min eps)What an unusual format! In looking for somehting light to counteract the last episodes of another drama, I came across this. The ML was the 3rd ML in "My Roommate is a Gumiho," & I liked him there.
It is a story about a goblin trying to become human. Intersting because I am also watching "the" Goblin with a watch party. It's fun to see how supernatural magic works in different worlds. In this show, the Goblin has to kiss 10 different people to acquire human emotions. Seeing how the Goblin handles each new emotion is fun, heartwarming, & surprising.
The actors are good & attractive, & the story is nicely done. Even in this extremely short format, they conveyed the "feels." It is so cute & completely bingeable. Nothing ground-breaking, but this will be a comfort show I can return to.

I first noticed Ha Joon (Song Ha Joon) in "Destined With You" where I thought he did a great job with the character.
Recently, he's accidentally popped up in everything I'm watching, starting with "Crazy Love," which I finished a few weeks ago. Then I started "Bad Prosecutor," where he is a power-hungry prosecutor playing the foil for Doh Kyung Soo's character. Then I watched "Live Your Own Life," where he finally gets the leading man role & is perfect for it (script could have been better, but he did great with what he had).
Next was "Please Don't Date Him." It's not credited, but I swear he's the voice of the refrigerator. I recently started 2018's "Radio Romance," where he again plays a character where we don't know if he's good or evil. That type of character seems to be his niche role. Maybe because he can be so sweet, but also so convincingly evil?

A Virtuous Business
(2024 - Netflix 12 1:30 eps)Set in a small town in the early 90s, 4 women begin selling adult products. The money, & the breaking of taboos bring empowerment & friendship. For side stories, there is a mystery, some crime & romance.
Great acting, with period-appropriate costuming, sets, & props. The 4 FLs are struggling because of the men in their lives. We see how women are defined by their relationships with men & how difficult it is to have a sense of themselves because society refuses to acknowledge them as independent people.
The pacing is great, with a lot of marvelous comedy, touching moments, & friendship development. The last 1/2 of the last episode was slightly disappointing - not bad, & it wasn't that the story went astray - a different wrap-up would have been more appropriate.

A fairly light, cliche thriller with some unforeseen twists, lots of action, & a great bromance. Throw in some comedy & some romance and it's an enjoyable watch. Park Hae Jin played the perfect spy, & did well with the comedy. There wasn't much chemistry between the leads. Their story needed more development (& maybe a different hairstyle for her), but it was decent. The 2nd ML did great with his part & his character development. His relationship with the NIS agent made the show.
