Gangs of Gangnam
내 연기는 존나 잘해. Ji chang wook is so real for this role & dialogue, that eyebrow raise & sharp dialogue delivery while fight scenes being ? . It's like watching WWE Royal Rumble - EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF. Intense opening scene, bloody fights, lots of smoking, swearing & 90's era setting is done aptly. Brownie points for casting absolute doppelgangers as younger #LimSeMi #WiHaJun in episode 3.Fast paced thriller it is but was bit predictable so far. Moving is replaced by equally intense drama by Disney plus. INSANELY GOOD SHOW!!!

Exhilaratingly Dark Sageuk - Non Vanilla Kdrama
It's an exhilarating, treacherous and dark Sageuk drama with profanity and gore detailing that at least I haven't seen in a Kdrama specially period Kdrama before.Jeong Jong Seo in first 2 minutes of opening scene of first episode sets the mode of the show being fast paced & quite thrilling. With the next half or the episode being totally dominated by never seen before avatar of Ji Chang Wook as a fierce warrior King who absolutely loved his Queen & kingdom.
IT'S a non vanilla period drama with some nude scenes as well (quite a rage & reason of low rating I believe).
The THIRD prince & him Killing his wife gave me chills down the spine. Cinematic brilliance with extremely great acting and direction. Screenplay is quite exciting considering a lot of characters are involved.
Take your time & absorb the brilliance of this tale where a Queen reclaims her throne overnight.

Glossy romcom
It's a glossy rom com with very little to cherish tbh so far. The power tripping Fam is just crazy. Enjoying terminal illness of spouse is like a new Kdrama genre or something & that dreaded TRIANGLE whether it's love or hate. ARGH!!!That Soo Hyun scene saying why am I cute when I drink was the best thing about this drama so far. The wedding scene was Binjin coded so much so that they even called it wedding of the century too.
The outfits that Kim Ji won is wearing is absolutely stunning ? ? ? ? ? so far.
Let's see how it goes later on. So far I won't rate it extraordinarily for what I have seen.

It's a mess of fiction
This is a mess of fiction & fantasy both with time travel twist. Doesn't really need a love triangle or murder mystery plot, either keep it a murder mystery or Love triangle FGS!!.2 timeliness should have been enough. Who styled #AhnHyoSeop btw? Fire him/her. #JeonYeoBeen tried hard to strike balance between her getups & timelines.
This 90's nostalgia & time travel during coma or being hospitalized is long used Kdrama thing. In this show the third timeline between the 90's & present was confusing. This show didn't chemistrfy either & has V low repeat value.
I need that Walkman though.

People continue living knowing they'll die
"People continue living...knowing that we're all going to die" - #MyLovelySamSoon (2005)This is so melancholic yet endearing. Reminds me of John Elia's poetry.
کتنی دلکش ہو تم کتنا دل جُو ہوں میں
کیا ستم ہے کہ ہم لوگ مر جائیں گے
.
If you're into Kdramas & under cultural shock, watch MyLovelySamSoon (2005) to see how it debunks everything we find problematic like Cinderella syndrome, body shaming, age gap, class difference etc that too 18 yrs ago.

BEST KDRAMA
Imdb rating for #TwentyFiveTwentyOne was almost 9 when it just ended in 2022."The "drama" was brilliant, the process was beautiful!"
Heartwrenchingly heart warming it is. That new millennium timeline was best used. Its a must watch. Although I do believe that sports & media personalities can easily be in a relationship but Na Hee do was a coward. I so want a season 2 of this show where I want her to be divorced.
YEJIN WAS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT in this show as well as Kim Tae RI. Highly recommended.

Kdrama of te Year 2023
Moving is the best Kdrama of this year probably the decade. With 3x the budget of Squid Game, Challenging VFX & very hardcore action sequences, this show has surpassed expectations.Episode 8-9 were pretty nostalgic & delicately romantic & one of the best thing about this drama. It shows how humane can Superheros be, a handicapped Superhero, Dying Superheros, Romantic Superheros, Kid Superheros, forced to be Superheros, Useless Superheros - It's a one of its kind drama that every Marvel & DC fan should watch.
Brilliantly acted by everyone. Some scenes are quite lengthy but overall the show is worth it.

Heart-warming romance, cheesy but not cringe-y
Fleeting or true? Love is hidden. It's a heart-warming romance with cheesy but not cringe-y & realistic approach towards life, career & relationships.You can grow together if you find strength in each others company. Shows like Hidden Love emphasize subtly on how life changing or important it is to have people with positive influence around in your teens.
Antagonist to Twenty five twenty one Kdrama. Zhao Lusi, Chen Zhen Yuan were brilliant in this show, beautiful chemistry. Styling of Lusi was beautiful.

Dream not scream
The Goblin & Grim Reaper's baby is all grown up. Mystic Popup Bar is a must watch if you like fantasy shows. Borderline dark towards ending, parallel world experiences through dream & touching mental health issues with care is all what this show does.12 episodes of fun & learn kind. Loved how they have managed to put Kfood as an attraction too.
That Steve Jobs & BTS refrence ?Comic part wasn't great but not bad. Shower of oblivion will make you ponder over importance of memories.

Needs a Season 2 - Best of Hyun Bin
This drama has the best Hyun Bin visuals ?, absolute banger of a plot, Great VFX & useless romance. Top tier underrated show. Love the ending & I have a theory about it.This drama has best Hyun Bin visuals, Great VFX, absolute banger of a plot & useless romance. Top tier underrated show that should have a Season 2.
Regarding the controversial ending, I LOVE IT & IT TOTALLY MAKES SENSE. Seju explained that only master in the game can create a place from himself to hide. So he's (Hyun Bin) hiding in real world unless someone finds him on the game which is released till level 25 only. He is above level 100 & the game is RESET.
Now imagine, Jin Woo hiding in abandoned Hostel Bonita all this time. While Heeju & Seeju both plays the game to find him(Hyun Bin) & bring him back out of the glitch. She should have been a competitive character from the beginning that teams up with Jin Woo to find her brother, the creator of the game.

Japanese Korean cultural merge
It's a cute start of a rom-com with Japanese and Korean fusion. Foodie nuances made it a warm interaction between the leads & the plot is pretty good too.Like the legend of the blue sea mermaid, FL can hear inner voices of people but with ML she couldn't understand the language of his thoughts as he's Korean and this is where the show gets interesting.
A beautifully setup office rom-com, story weaved intricately with hints at villian being someone close in 4 episodes so far. Waiting for the rest of the episodes.
Some subtitles are missing when the ML thinks in Korean & FL couldn't understand.

Marvel Meets Parasite & Kdrama fantasy
Take Marvel, Moving & Parasite together, add a dash of Kdrama fantasy & you'll get A Typical Family. Brilliant plot, genius ending.A very Atypical drama. Gave away few plot spoilers already if you are watching with interest.
It's been tagged as romantic show on Netflix while the first 2 episodes are quite intriguingly mysterious vibes. It's a family of super heroes in their slump era with lots of back stories to unfold and to their further misfortune they're being surrounded by con artists who I believe also has some kind of super powers or something they're hiding.
Overall, a fantasy show like vibes with quite a promising start Maybe Moving kind or maybe Marvel kind. The ML has a unique time slip superpower as well as the other members of family.
Intrigued me enough to continue so let's see how it unfolds.

An unconventional Thriller
It's not run of the mill, just another apocalyptic thriller, mind you. It's not a zombie show either.Happiness is good enough to keep you hooked. Unconventional zombie show as it defines "Happiness" via emotions, actions & empathy during survival of the fittest. Every character is distinctive & well performed.
Park Hyung Sik turns macho from his cute MinMin image yet oh so charming. FL was so damn good too. Nothing about This show deserves negative marking. Genius writing & a gripping tale.

Real Family Drama
Last episode was an emotional roller coaster. "If you don't tell someone you love them, they won't know" even if it's your own family. So TALK, COMMUNICATE & OPEN YOUR HEARTS.THIS IS A WHOLESOME DRAMA THAT feels like being in one's own home. The story unfolds like everyday happenings in a real family and you're being part of them.
50+ episode long, 2014 drama about a chaotic family's daily struggles, generation gap, class difference. Lots of wholesome moments & comic relief. Many relatable, few loud characters.
It's the #Baghban of #Kdramas

Top Rated Chinese Drama - Love #YuYi
Programing genius, The lighter #ChenFeiyu & his Princess #ZhangJingyi fighting for their peace after taking on the world as a battlefield. V young leads but quite mature act, gripping plot, Bingeworthy show with a high repeat value.Nothing can top this story I believe. Very intricately written & brilliantly acted. #ChenFeiyu #ZhangJingyi aced their roles as well as supporting cast , Chen Fei Yu's getup changes were ? ? ?specially his buzz cut. Although I would love to see him growing back his hair towards the ending.
Do look for the deleted scenes on YT after you finish this show.
