@notthatkaren @s1m0n4 @whoosh
Yeah, that's the way to do it. I have to wait for #MarryMyHusband to get picked up by another streaming service because I #BoycottBezos. #kdrama -
@hanktank61 @notthatkaren @jcurries
I think that it's right up your alley, except that the primary lead is not female.
I've completed 80% of the show now.

Looks good and it's on my watchlist but requires a Viki+ subscription. I'm not so interested in upgrading for the odd series here and there. I notice that #MyDearest has now moved down to regular Viki so I'm thinking about rewatching at some point. There was a lot that went on in that show! #kdrama -
@AnnaAnthro @notthatkaren @Vinjii
I definitely loved #TwentyFiveTwentyOne but the OP wants a drama that's "low tension", which is perfectly fair at certain points in one's life. I found #WelcomeToSamdalRi to be very low tension, to the point that I found it somewhat dull in parts. It's not yet finished, but I think that #DoctorSlump is also fairly low tension. Most of the dramas crank our emotions up several notches! #kdrama -
CW: Spoiler Marry My Husband
@jodmentum @s1m0n4 @notthatkaren
My take is that the ex-fiancee is necessary for both of them to understand a completely crazy person in their lives.
He gets Su-min's effect on Ji-won because he had to deal with Yu-ra in both timelines.
Otherwise, how could he even comprehend the level of nuts that is Su-min?
-
While I agree that it had a good thing going & the makjang ex-fiancee took it off the rails, I'm still loving it.
One more episode to wrap it all up & I'm a little sad because I want to see more of the side stories. Eun-ho didn't get nearly enough time.
-
@notthatkaren @whoosh I agree completely, as I've already written in my review for this #kdrama
I was positively surprised by the actress #JeonJongSeo . I didn't know her and she nailed her FL role!
On the other hand #MoonSangMin was a disappointment. He needs to grow as actor and at times I wished the ML role was given to #KimDoWan -
@notthatkaren
Ah, I can answer 2 of those questions.
The insects reeing in the background are cicadas and they can get insanely loud! I noticed them constantly in #MyIDIsGangnamBeauty
Yes, King Sejong invented the #hangul alphabet. Prior to its introduction in 1433, writing was done in the Chinese style. His lovely statue in Seoul is very eye-catching. The need to learn more culture has driven me to learn a lot of language over the last 6 months. #korean #kdrama #LangaugeLearning -
@notthatkaren
It was popular. I haven't watched it yet. #AShopForKillers and #AKillerParadox were both way more action than I typically like but they were both so skillfully done and really unique.

CW: Doctor Slump rant - opening spoiler but not spoiler.

@notthatkaren @EllenInEdmonton @s1m0n4
The 1st 2 episodes have been fantastic! I was worried because Ellen got the 1st 2 dropped at the same time, but I was only seeing 1 - in the U.S. Disney/Hulu is only giving us 1 on Wed & then 1 on Thu!!!

@notthatkaren @KDramaQn Since I could download the episodes from Netflix, I’ve been watching #CaptivatingTheKing while I’m on an extended camping trip. I think it came out early this year. It’s quite good. #kdrama

@notthatkaren
Ah, thanks for the warning not to investigate #cdrama! My recent trip to Korea really demonstrated how much more language learning I need in order to function on a basic level in the language! Still, I'm super happy that I managed to watch an entire #kdrama without the benefit of English subtitles, #TheTaleOfLadyOk. Also, there were many different times when my very basic Korean came in very handy.
#LanguageLearning -
Ooh!!! We should set up a dialogue about it on Discord! This has been on my list since I took an interest in Yi Bang Won and his family members and conflicts. I'm currently watching multiple #CurrentlyAiring dramas, as well as Bloody Heart, another historical. I'll gradually fit this one into my schedule.
-
@notthatkaren Camping really is fun! I managed to download Captivating the King on my iPad so I finished that and I watched the #CurrentlyAiring shows when I camped with WiFi as well as at the hostel in Portland.
-
@notthatkaren @s1m0n4
Ooh, compelling is always good! And I love the variety of dramas out there. @whoosh and I started watching #TheImpossibleHeir this week, which is #CurrentlyAiring. I'm so amazed with how much information that #kdrama directors can convey in very short scenes! It's starting out very interesting. Definitely not low-budget but focussed on the bromance between the 2 MLs and their interest in the same FL. A revenge drama. -
@notthatkaren @EllenInEdmonton @IkkleGemzUniverse I have to disagree on this one.
This #kdrama is totally unrealistic when it comes to her illness. She's fine 95% of the time with a few sporadic memory losses and blackouts. Never heard of such a type of terminal disease.
The contrast with how cancer was portrayed for instance on #MarryMyHusband is striking.And their love story is way too fictional. He is a man who doesn't exist in RL and she's a woman who wouldn't deserve him.

@notthatkaren
Thanks for the info. I haven’t watched #MyRoyalNemesis yet because I’m still busy with Love Scout and Sold Out On You. Maybe I’ll start it in the next few weeks. -

simpler locations ✅
less luxury ✅
delicious, non logical and ingenious stories ✅
stellar acting ✅😁

That's cool! I kept wondering how they did that.
I am so disappointed by its rating on MDL - only a 6.6. IMHO, it was so good. I mean hilarious & crazy (mice & fruit flies), but even those bits tied beautifully into the theme, with such deep messages. There's a lot more to it than it seems.

#AKillerParadox
#Moving
Initially, when I looked at D=, Snowdrop was one of the only k-dramas that they had but they've been adding a lot to their roster over the last few months. Like you say, they're extremely bad at making good recommendations or helping their watchers to find what they want to watch. They're heavy on action/thrillers but they do an excellent job with them. Also, most series have only 10-12 shows so the action moves rapidly.

@AnnaAnthro Ha! That opening stab scene had me rewinding because it was like "wait, what just happened?"
I am enjoying this one so far- it is just so ridiculous at times that it makes you laugh out loud.
I wasn't quite ready to let go of "The Prisoner of Beauty" yet- so this is nice having two of the same actors.

For #kpopmonday
This might be a stretch on the #nonlexicalvocables but I’m pretty new to K-pop and the first time I heard this song all I could think was “What is this magic?” and “What is a Halazia?” Now I can’t stop listening: #Halazia by #ATEEZ. This song is everything. -
@EllenInEdmonton Good to know- because it is so irritating having all that in the subtitles. But now I’m irritated because I can’t figure out any way to change it to just give subtitles and not full on closed captioning. I’ve tried the website, the IOS app, the TV app….Aaaargh! I give up on it for the evening. [sigh]

#flexxcop -
So I just started the #kdrama #flexxcop (broke down and am doing the one month Hulu/D+ thing). But what fresh subtitling hell is this? I do not need to have each and every sound ever in this series put in the subtitles. [exhales], [inhales], [sighs],[sighs shallowly]. If you show a press conference with a million cameras flashing, I don’t need [camera shutter sound] clogging up the subtitles. It can be inferred from the scene. Okay, rant over. It is just so distracting and way overboard. 😖

@s1m0n4 @UkMudeok I watched #burningsun this morning (the BBC has put it on YouTube). Yikes! I had recently watched the #kdrama Military Prosecutor Doberman and this same type situation was one it’s plot-lines. Not one you want to see actually happening in real life. It made me sad to hear at the end that the same stuff is still happening (allegedly) in the Gangnam clubs today- but then again what is to be expected when they acquitted to police officer involved of all charges.

@whoosh I gave up on this one part way through. I felt like the ML needed more experience (or something) to pull off a leading role convincingly. He just came across as flat to me. Add that to the story starting to fall apart mid-way, I simply couldn't be bothered to finish it even as just a fluffy watch. The potential was there, just not the execution of it. Glad your’e back to doing reviews again!

Watching the #kdrama #GoodPartner #굿파트너 -9/16 aired
I think no matter your views about divorce- this drama does a good job of showing the gray areas- and just how complicated and messy relationships are.
The 2FL divorce lawyers are quite opposite, but are gradually growing/learning from each from cases and upheavals in their own lives.
It makes you angry, happy, sad- and makes you think about and re-think any preconceptions you have.
Last few episodes make it hard to wait for the next to air.
