I've mostly been watching currently airing dramas these days.

  • See You in My 19th Life (8/12) The pacing is pretty quick on this one since it's shorter. Things have started to unravel and I can't believe it will end next week!

  • King The Land (8/16) I'm sure by now everyone has gone crazy over that last scene on ep 8 lol! Consent is sexy indeed. Also, I really don't understand the hate Anupam Tripathi gets from this. His character was so adorable! I saw a comment on MDL that says his instagram was flooded with hate messages. The poor guy.

  • Numbers (4/16?) Haven't caught up with the latest 2 eps yet. Somehow I'm not really feeling this drama.

  • Dr Park's Clinic (8/12) Comedy and heartwarming drama on the life of Dr Park, an internal medicine doctor who just opened his own clinic. It's a good drama that I'm just watching very slowly these days.

We know now who Hanna was, but from the flashbacks Min Gi looks to be someone from her past as well.

My guess, he was someone who was in love with her but she was in love with the past Seoha as well. Then she died, maybe related to Seoha, and Min Gi somehow had/has the power to keep them both reincarnated and remembering their pasts in the hope that they rekindle their relationship in the next live. But Jowon/Ji Eun kept going back to Seoha. I don't know how Seoha's mum got to do with this though.

You've read the webtoon. Has the story in the drama changed much from the webtoon?

Hahah to be fair, I also thought the makeup/styling could've gone better for her in this drama. She was beautiful in the other dramas I've seen of her.

Yea I thought this was the 16 episodes drama and King The Land was 12 for the first couple weeks, then realised it's the opposite. The reaction I've seen so far has been that this drama started off strong but it stagnated soon after. On the other hand, KTL keeps a good pacing and has good star power. I still like this drama better than KTL, but can understand why people loves KTL more.

I wish I have your wisdom before I started both. They are both about hotel chaebols and have some sort of mystery involving their mothers. I forget which chaebol has what specific trauma/incident sometimes. But yea maybe that's just me lol

I KNOW RIGHT!!! Shin Hye Sun never disappoints, including her kisses!! I'm still remembering the ones in Mr Queen. Ah~~

I can't wait to see Driver Ha and Chowon's kisses next! His gaze for her has been so intense that I feel I should look away sometimes. If that's an indication how their kisses will be like, then oof... I will need a cold shower!

Eps 7 and 8 are really one revelation after another! Can't believe we're more than halfway there already, and that this drama will end next week! Sobs

Oh you're right! I didn't realise he only called up to her.

Before I watched the latest 2 eps, I thought Hanna (the singer/dancer) was also another shaman. Like there was a group of them roaming about to warn/catch those reincarnated people to keep them in line or something. But yea, that was way off! Lol

So this is how it looks from my end on [email protected] community.

Yea I thought we could at least see the same posts across the fediverse, including those on mastodon, but apparently not yet. I'm still learning about fediverse, particularly lemmy, but I can see why people gets put off with it since it's not as easy to use as Reddit.

Hopefully you can see my comment - I'm still learning about Lemmy. Adding my recommendations below.

Cute and chill dramas with heart melting scenes:

  • Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
  • Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
  • Love To Hate You
  • Hospital Playlist
  • Coffee Prince

Thriller with fucked up plot:

  • Crime Puzzle
  • Through The Darkness
  • Tell Me What You Saw
  • The Glory
  • Bad Guys
  • The Veil
  • Mouse
  • My Name
  • D.P. (Season 2 is coming out July 28th)
  • Big Mouth (I haven't seen this, but many people liked it until right at the last episode)

Heart melting chill dramas with not at all fucked up slightly thrilling plot:

  • Missing: The Other Side
  • Prison Playbook (same director as Hospital Playlist)

Generally Kdramas are less intense compared to their movie counterpart, due to broadcasting rules. Squid Game came out on Netflix, so it wasn't bound by their usual broadcasting rules due to it being on a streaming platform.

Hopefully that's a good list to get you started with. Let me know if you need more specific recommendations later.

PS: Squid Game 2 is coming out next year. They've announced the casts recently and have done some preliminary script reading. Likely to go into production soon.

Although commonly known as a baby kangaroo, a joey is basically a baby marsupial. So that can include koala, opossum, wombat, etc.

From what I gathered, World is struggling from the massive influx of users and has been lagging badly on my end too. Bigger is not always better it seems on the fediverse. I signed up to another smaller instance and things were much snappier there. I just don't know how to migrate all of my subbed communities over.

You found us! Welcome to our tiny community! Yea this one was apparently created 2 ~~years~~ months ago? Doesn't look like it's on lemmy, probably on ~~kbin~~ mastodon. I'm still on both reddit and here (oh and discord too, keep forgetting I'm also there!) because my 3rd party app still works, but probably not for long.

Feel free to post any drama related posts here! The goal is to get people talking so our community can grow (so we can go back to lurking lol).

Edit: found the source on mastodon! Created April this year. Weird thing is I couldn't see lemmy posts on mastodon, and apparently plenty of users on mastodon had been tagging the community as well but doesn't show up here at all.

Finished 5 and 6.

Yea that start of ep 5 really explained why he hated fake smiles. I loved that scene where he had a meal with his dad. I was so ready to hate him, but he seemed quite gentle and somewhat paternal to Guwon during the meal. Also, it made me crave some gukbap now... 🤤

Loved seeing the not so secret handshake! The dating rumor is somewhat expected too, seeing how good they both look together. I hope they pull a BinJin and become the 2nd Gen idols married couple!
