  1. I'm sitting here absolutely bawling, tears flowing down my face, as I watch The Kings Affection in background. It's a Netflix k-drama, for those that don't know it. Korea is lately putting out some brilliant works.

    I'm only about 3/4 through and won't spoil anything by going onto detail. I see homages to Twelfth Night and Roshomon. It's nicely structured.

    It's a good love story, but also a recurring theme of some of these Korean dramas is such an honor and dignity and hope through real adversity. It's like the kind of television I watched and plays I worked on even, like Camelot and especially A Man for All Seasons, which was very formative for me.

    Things that understand the struggle between Good and Evil is important to see and engage, even where nuance makes the lines between them blurred. These Korean works seem to be targeting an intelligent audience who wants to think. I love the genre, and this one is a good example.

    I think at some point the US decided that cynicism sells better than promise, and we have done well in exposing the many ways that society fails people, yet in the process we have somehow managed to deliver a sense of hopelessness and fatalism that is itself a cancer, suggesting the individual might as well just go for what's theirs. I love that these writers are still portraying another path.

  10. I noticed just yesterday on #Netflix two new #Kdramas that will start in May:
    - May 8, “My Royal Nemesis” – asianwiki.com/My_Royal_Nemesis
    - May 15, “The WONDERfools” – asianwiki.com/The_WONDERfools

    The first seems a sort of fantasy drama set between the Joseon era and the present. The second is also a fantasy drama about supernatural powers (and I really hope it’s *not* like Cashero).

    Netflix is a great source of #Kdramas for me, I have already watched more than 70!
    Another good source is Rakuten #Vikiviki.com
    It has prices similar to Netflix (a bit lower). Typically, a K-drama is only on one or the other, but sometimes it’s on both platforms.
    For example, I just noticed that Viki also has “Phantom Lawyer”... and with Italian subtitles! So, I’m starting to feel like subscribing to Viki.

  26. I noticed on #Netflix that a new #KoreanMovie is about to be released on March 31: “Humint” – asianwiki.com/Humint_(Korean_M

    Initially, I didn’t intend to watch this movie because my current mood prefers lovely #Kdramas like “Boyfriend on Demand” and “Still Shining”.
    But ... then .... I also noticed that Shin Se-Kyung is in this movie! Thus, I will probably watch it in the future, but at least *not* immediately.

    I chose the #Kdramas based on the story/context that inspired me, but also (in good part) based on the FL. 😊 For example:

    Delightfully Deceitful --> Chun Woo-Hee!
    Descendants of the Sun --> Kim Ji-Won!
    Doom at Your Service --> Park Bo-Young!
    Dr. Romantic --> Seo Hyun-Jin!
    Healer --> Park Min-Young!
    Hyde Jekyll, Me --> Han Ji-Min!
    My Dearest --> Ahn Eun-Jin!
    etc.
    😉

  31. After I recently changed my Netflix language to English, tons of #Kdramas have popped up! This is my watching wish list for the coming months (no specific preference order):

    Delightfully Deceitful — Descendants of the Sun — Doom at Your Service — Dr. Romantic — Healer — Hyde Jekyll, Me — My Dearest — Strong Girl Bong-Soon — Tale of the Nine Tailed — Uncontrollably Fond — When the Weather is Fine

    There are no Italian subtitles for these, but English “should” be fine for me. 😉

  35. Ces derniers temps, me suis pas mal mis aux #kdramas et j'ai d'abord cherché la présence de #Jisoo avec #snowdrop et #newtopia , puis comme vous l'avez compris, me suis ensuite tourné vers #Bibi avec #theworstofevil et le #film #hopeless .
    Actuellement, me suis démarré #boyfriendondemand et #gangnambside . L'un avec Jisoo et le second avec Bibi. Et le moins que je puisse dire c'est qu'avec ces 2 artistes, c'est vraiment 2 salles 2 ambiances.
