Drama Recs Challenge!

Looks like this is happening even though I barely have enough k-dramas in my bag. Was gonna post it yesterday but life happened.

Day 1: Their First Drama

Business Proposal - Funny, colorful, bubbly romcom with the right amount of tropes and not that much (forced) angst. Only 12 episodes too instead of the usual 16, so more bingeable. Legendary second leads.

Attached: 2 images Drama Recs Challenge Day 2: An Epic Love Story The challenge somewhat (in my head) suggests an historical drama but I'm gonna go with time travel. Lovely Runner is pretty epic in scope in its own way. Never really knew how they were gonna pull it of in the end but they did. #LovelyRunner #kdrama #DramaRecsChallenge

Day 3: Gripping Thriller

My Mister - Superb drama. Who knew structural engineering could be this thrilling.  Lots of twists and turns intertwined with some very down to earth warmth. Highly recommended.

Features one of my favorite OST tracks to in Sondia - Grown Ups

Day 4: A Powerful Performance

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - Park Eun Bin turns in an extraordinary performance playing autistic lawyer Woo. A very enjoyable and heart warming drama.

Day 5: A Compelling Historical

Due to recency- and PEB-bias I changed this at the last minute.  

The King's Affection - This has everything from palace scheming to (convincing) cross dressing. 20 eps is long but if you're in the right mood this is perfect.

Day 6: An Office Romance

There are hundreds of these ones so I just got to pick one: Love Scout - Perhaps nothing genre breaking but I like the tension and chemistry and there are a lot of cute moments.

Day 7: An Ensemble Cast

This is a tough one, so have to go with about the only thing that somewhat fits from my watched list: Moving - A school, superhumans and govt agency intrigues. Never really knows what's going to happen.

Day 8: A Slice Of Life

I just had to get this drama on the list and today's category is as good a fit as any. My Liberation Notes - In some ways it feels like a hyper realistic slice of life and in others very dreamy. Absolutely a slow burn so the correct state of mind is needed when viewing. But if you're in the right place it is a beautiful drama in all aspects; both happy and sad.

Day 9: A Twisty Revenge

The hard part of this one is to dare to pick one of the obvious candidates that @AnnaAnthro already mentioned. However, today I'm feeling brave   so let's go with: The Glory - Bullying victim gets revenge... yeah, that's about it?!  Great production and acting all around.

@joakimfors @AnnaAnthro Song Hye-kyo is so great in that.
@jcurries @AnnaAnthro She's usually great... even when she's not in it. Looking at you Undercover High School
