#longingforyou — Public Fediverse posts

@commonst @whoosh @EllenInEdmonton The prosecutors/crime/investigation #kdrama genres typically have little to no romance.

I loved #Stranger and #LongingForYou in this category.

Another action/revenge one that's quite ok is #MyName. However I have to admit that the fighting scenes aren't very credible.

If you want something different, always without romance, #Misaeng is a brilliant office drama.

#day16 Best actress of 2023

Since I have to narrow it down to dramas released in 2023, I pick Kim Ji-Eun's performance in #LongingForYou

She plays the badass female prosecutor who can think rationally in any situation. I love her facial expressions.

If I have to be extra picky, without demeaning in any way the show, there are a couple of things that don't quite culturally fit with my opinions.

Firstly: death penalty. No matter the crime, I do not support death penalty as a rightful punishment in a democratic society. This differentiate me from most Koreans, as far as I understand.

Secondly the sudden marriage proposals. Why don't they date first? Why is money more important than feelings?

#LongingForYou #오랫동안당신을기다렸습니다

One of the best crime/investigation #kdrama I've watched.

It's a steady paced crescendo in mystery solving and what a finale! The choice of sticking to 14 episodes removes any useless gap fillers in the fascinating plot.

This #drama fully deserved the #KDA awards it received. #KimJiEun ( #김지은 ) as FL was sensational, I hope to see more of her talent in future productions.

I loved the OST too!
