Fellow #kdrama watchers, what are you watching right now?

I'm juggling several dramas (the problem with having a short attention span and needing to change things up regularly, plus different people sitting in on dramas with me).

On the go for me currently:

Melo Movie
- only 2 episodes left! Watching with M so must wait for her to be available long enough to get both at once.

See You In My 19th Life
- halfway through! Watching with R, finally.

So I Married the Anti-Fan
- more than halfway through! Watching with my online kdrama club friends, one episode per week as is tradition

Descendants of the Sun
- 3 episodes in with M and R! This was the second kdrama I ever saw, and rewatching it now many years later, I keep getting excited at actors I now recognise lol

@hobiis Weeell, if I go by MDL currently watching and a pick from on-hold...

Alchemy of Souls
Descendants of the Sun
Familiar Wife
Hello, Me!
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
Hot Stove League
Hyena
Little Women
Love Your Enemy
Summer Strike
The Tale of Nokdu
The Uncanny Counter
Under the Queen's Umbrella
What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
Twenty-Five Twenty-One

🫣

Some should probably go on-hold though. And some on-hold to dropped 😅

I'm just a bit too stubborn to actually drop stuff

@joakimfors @hobiis Life is too short. The Drop is Your Friend

Just don't drop Hot Stove League or Summer Strike 😀

Show threadJoakim ForsJul 23, 2025

@ronsboy67 @hobiis I won't. Just need to be in the mood for HSL and Summer Strike is heaaaaavy, both are great though.

@joakimfors @hobiis Summer Strike is heavy? Is it the 2022 Im Si Wan 12-episode #kDrama ? I really enjoyed it, and remember it as languidly paced, but not dark or heavy. Maybe I need to rewatch it

I thought Summer Strike was heavy, too. She is really scraping the bottom of the barrel at the start. All of the characters have been so traumatized and are grasping to keep surviving. I recognize the scary kind of quiet deep depression in it.

@JillsJoy @joakimfors @hobiis sounds like I definitely need to rewatch it. I thought it had a downbeat start, but found it lighter than, for example, MLN, which I also loved

I finished, and mostly enjoyed 10 of those. My vote for continuance would be 2521, because those young people have so much zest for their lives and their futures. Their passion has really stayed with me. And Cha Cha Cha includes so many interesting side stories that I enjoyed.
Still, I have a few series where I've only watched the first couple of episodes and they didn't grab me. It's hard to go back and start again with them.

@EllenInEdmonton @ronsboy67 @JillsJoy @hobiis 2521 will get its turn. I'm like @whoosh that it's very mood based watching. Currently doing Uncanny Counter to probably be able to tackle Summer Strike (SPOILER: I personally HATE losing or misplacing stuff so I have a reaaal hard time getting through her losing all her gaddamn money  ). Loved the beginning of it, a bit "hyperrealism" like MLN but way more traumatic from the get go and it just seems to get worse as Jill said

"Loved the beginning of it, a bit "hyperrealism" like MLN but way more traumatic from the get go and it just seems to get worse as Jill said"

Yep, I've REALLY got to rewatch it because this doesn't sound like the same Drama at all - especially the "it just seems to get worse" bit.
