@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.
A conspiracy #kdrama with an enemies-to-lovers romance story. I promise you won't be disappointed by the kisses!
Top-notch lead actors and secondary characters. I already knew and highly appreciated #KimJiEun (#LongingForYou ) and #YangHyeJi (#Nevertheless ), so sexy #Lomon was THE surprise.
The only drawback: it's too fast-paced. I would have liked more scenes to better explain the plot and the background.
Vote: 9.5
I've started #BrandingInSeongsu and watched the first 2 episodes (30 min each)
Still loving #KimJiEun acting skills! In #LongingForYou she made quite the impression.
There's also #YangHyeJi who had a previous role in #Nevertheless.
And it's the first time I watch a #kdrama with #Lomon , a Koryo-saram actor born in Uzbekistan
Gone through the first 6 episodes of #MarryMyHusband and it's so good!
#ParkMinYoung is nailing a difficult role with a personality slowly evolving. The directors are keen to emphasize the contrast and it's so thrilling to root for justice.
#NaInWoo already made my heart flutter in #LongingForYou but here I expect a better kissing scene 😚
I can't wait to watch the next 2 episodes

#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.
#LongingForYou #오랫동안당신을기다렸습니다 #kdrama
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?
[2/2]
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.

@whoosh I've recently finished #TheKingLoves but I haven't written a review about it because I didn't like how it developed at the end.
Now I'm watching #LongingForYou
