After some time watching #kdrama I'm sharing my favs:
Cat. 1: SUBLIME
Everything came together for me: story, writing, acting, cinematography, music, in:
#Lost/Unqualified to be human
Beautiful. Tragic. The hair. The ending.
#MyMister
The dept. Different ending dep. on which storyline you followed. Stolen looks. The brothers. All women.
#TheEighthSense
Unapologetically gay. The ensemble. Handling mental problems. The fun.
#MrSunshine
The colors! Over the top, symbolism, great personas. 1/N

Cat. 2 Excellent+
#MyLiberationNotes
Beautiful. Dark. Intense. The Ending.
#coffeeprince
Still amazingly fresh! So cute. That smile.
#hatetoloveyou
Fun in an excellent way. Feminist.
#Nevertheless (Korean)
Not toxic in my Dutch eyes. The ensemble.
#TheDevilJudge
Crazy story but what a sexy ride if you ship GaHan
#Ninepuzzles
A Fashion Queen and Son Suk-ku!

I feel I have forgotten to mention quite a few and I also still have a watch list that includes some gems!

However, I feel I also need to mention that the following well-known ones did not do the trick for me:
#wiwwsk #vincenzo #mrqueen

How about you, my dear #kdrama nims?

4/N

Oh, and then we also have Cat.5 Excellent, BUT...
#loveisabonusbook loved the office environment, BUT... serious lack of chemistry, ML2 was better suited
#somethingintherain lovely, BUT.. the screaming mother
#descendantofthesun entertaining, BUT.... too long of the same
#thetrunk
Very special atmosphere, BUT.... crazy story with that crazy ex
#itsokaynottobeokay
Same, BUT... no facial expression ML

5/5 #kdrama

@mel The only Kdramas I shared with you are Coffee Prince and Mr Sunshine. Toppers ! Kdrama spreaded out in so many flavours, no use trying to keep up with it. For me anyway. I have that "thing" for pre -2010 Kdrama.
No logic, strange endings, over the top acting, humor, filmed on the go , simple locations: Yeah....!
Anticipating 2 Hong Sisters dramas: Sincerely hoping they are not trying to overdo it Alchemy Of Souls-style.

@hanktank61 I gave some of the oldies a try, but my brain is not wired for all the long talks of the elders etc. so then I start ff-ing a lot. I do like the more unpolished looks a lot though!

@mel Vincenzo and Mr. Queen are so. Darned. Good. Stellar, stellar shows.
Show threadMelSep 28
@commonst Yeah, I know a lot of people are there with you. I dont know why I'm not into it, gave both a decent try🤷‍♀️
Show threadcommonstSep 28
@mel humour is very subjective. I found both to be hilarious. But my sense of humour is a little quirky. It could just come down to that. (I think I misread your original post, apologies if it felt I was questioning your experience with them. That was not my intent.)
Show threadMelSep 28
@commonst oh, tnx, but don't worry, I did not read it as such!

@commonst @mel
Although there was a lot I enjoyed in Vincenzo, I quit about halfway through. And Mr. Queen is on so many favourites lists but I’ve given that lead actor a couple of solid tries and I’m not prepared to do it again. Maybe someday.

@EllenInEdmonton @commonst Same here!

@mel I personally hated wiwwsk because the power dynamics were just icky to me. 😅
Show threadMelSep 29
@JillsJoy 💯 that. Dynamics that make the FL smile such an annoying mask. I'm not into tsundere, that is for sure.
Show threadhanktank61Sep 28
@mel Same .Mr Queen I liked for acting. Not realistic although there was a Pope Joan once in the West, isn't it ?
Show threadMelSep 29
@hanktank61 That seems to be a slanderious story by a pope-rival at the time, I'm afraid... #pope

@mel Healer is a huge fave, so is Because This Is My First Life.
