Yay, managed to finish this challenge. It's been fun following all the recommendations; my "to watch" list has inevitably grown. 😅

Day 24: Time Travel Tale
A Time Called You - I was glued to this one even though it stabs you in the heart. Complicated and suspend all physics disbelief (as with most time travel tales) but they somehow make it work. Nostalgia, mystery, thriller, sweet.

Drama Recs Challenge Day 25
To wrap this fun #DramaRecsChallenge 1 "absolute classic" Drama leapt to mind. One that got nearly everything right.
Those newer to the world of #KDrama (post 2017-ish) may not know that back in the primeval mists of time, #KDrama romcom writers did NOT think "it can't possibly be a REAL romcom without a psychopathic serial killer arc"'"🙄
This DAEBAK Drama, #CoffeePrince , is from those halcyon days of long ago. Would that those days return! :ablobsigh:

Day 22: An Addictive Mystery
Not quuuite finished this yet but still: Little Women - Twisty mystery/thriller where you never really know what's going to happen. Good acting, good everything.

Drama Recs Challenge Day 24
For the penultimate #DramaRecsChallenge "A Time Travel Tale", there was an embarras de richesse (Pretentious? Moi?!)
from #KDrama #QueenInHyunsMan to #JDrama #NobunagaConcerto and many, others. I went with #TWDrama "Love, Timeless"
The reasons are in the screenshot - it's just a shame that it seems it's no longer being carried by any streaming services. A prime (ha!) candidate for Tubi, I think

Day 21: Beautiful Friendship
Another case of when my watched list isn't really diverse enough so a bit forced choice: Study Group - An unexpected group of students helping each other succeed in school and life....
.... I said it was a bit forced. 😅

Drama Recs Challenge Day 23
For #DramaRecsChallenge Day 23 on bsky, I went with the tiptoe kiss from #KDrama #QueenInHyunsMan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0AWek_4qwYbut it was not the 1st kiss I thought of. This one was. #JDrama Our Sister's Soulmate on NF was soft & sweet. This kiss scene imprinted itself for the ML explicitly asking for consent Be.Still.My.Beating.Heart - I'm a total sucker for the rare occasions when consent is sought. Ergo, to ME, this was legendary

Day 19: Zombies Zombies Zombies!
There are a lot of good Korean zombie movies and series, but lets go with a happy one :blobcatgiggle: Happiness - A bit of a twist on the zombies, Sae Bom (Han Hyo Joo) is a badass and best proposal in kdrama land. Also PHS. :ablobcathappypaws:

Drama Recs Challenge Day 22
2 #KDrama possibilities - #Circle & especially #MyPerfectStranger are mysteries I'd recommend - but in the end #JDrama #OkitegamiKyōkoNoBibōroku wins for #DramaRecsChallenge because "addictive".
The addictive mystery is "who is she, and why is she a detective?" Since we never find out, I was left craving an S2 . TEN YEARS later, and having watched it FIVE times, I still wish there could be an S2 to explore that mystery. I'd say that counts as an addiction 🤔

Drama Recs Challenge Day 21
A tough one for #DramaRecsChallenge -
I have 25 #Cdrama #TWDrama and #JDrama in my database with "friendship" as a major genre component - but in the end I went with #KDrama #GoodbyeToGoodbye since it was all about the growth of such a beautiful, deep & strong friendship that I call the non-romantic leads the OTP , and scored the Drama 12/10

Day 18: Must-Watch Fantasy
Not really being into the fantasy genre in kdrama-land I'm going to be lazy today and just go with, you guessed it: Alchemy of Souls - Entertaining, could fit into the "all the tropes" category, funny. It's also forever staring at you on the Netflix home screen if the algo gets a whif of kdrama interest :blobcatgiggle:

Day 17: Enemies To Lovers
This is a pretty common drama theme, but lets spice it up a bit and do a combo.
Our Beloved Summer - Well done childhood/school enemies to lovers fare with a beautiful soundtrack and some nice twists. However, if you combine it with The Witch: Part 1 as a prequel you get some real ENEMIES to lovers action. :blobcatgiggle:

Drama Recs Challenge Day 20
This was an easy choice for #DramaRecsChallenge. I love podcasts like water loves oil, and have yet to finish a combined sum of 5 episodes of all podcasts I've ever attempted to listen to. So I'm just going to put in a plug for

Drama Recs Challenge Day 18
Another Mastodon exclusive for my #DramaRecsChallenge . You'll see it only here, folks! 😂
I do NOT like fantasy, preferring ghosts & demons of the internal/psychological kind, so I've watched few Dramas that were prominently fantasy. One that I'd forgotten about was this one, #KDrama #Welcome2Life I gave it 8/10 for the strong performances of both leads, probably my favourite Rain role. Adding it to this challenge has got me thinking of a rewatch!

Drama Recs Challenge Day 17
Lots of "enemies to lovers" are really "frenemies to lovers" like #KDrama #MyDearestNemesis but not #CapitalScandal - it doesn't get much less frenemy than freedom fighter, Japanese lackey..
It is my favourite Han Ji Min Drama, but also has THE BEST , totally 1000% platonic, ML-2FL relationship I've seen. Han Go Eun rocked! #DramaRecsChallenge -

Day 15: Some Undeniable Chemistry
It would be easy to go with something like Bong Bong and Min Min here :ablobcatheart: but lets take a different route: Blood Free - Corporate scifiy thriller with no intention of romance. However, the chemistry between the leads is something else. Only 10 eps so pretty easy to get done.

Drama Recs Challenge Day 16
I thought of 2 French books for #DramaRecsChallenge 16. Both books have had a very visible impact on #KDrama & #JDrama I've seen. 1 is 'petit', 1 is VERY big.
I chose the BIG one, in Robin Buss's translation. It is perhaps somewhat ironic that I'm more likely to prefer a Drama built around Le Petit Prince than one inspired by (Edmond) Dantes' inferno. 😀

Day 14: A Therapy Drama
Doctor Slump - Ah, I get warm and fuzzy just thinking about this one. It was exactly what I needed when I watched it; soo healing.
(The PHS PSH chemistry is off the charts :blobcatgiggle: ).
