There is no Reply 1999. See yourself out.

Reply 1989 sorry. It’s just amazing that each episode is 90 minutes. It reads like a movie in one

I’m not Korean so not well versed, but I think it’s because they are both older and established, it also keeps their relationship more formal and it’s more common to use the full name. Also they don’t drop the -ssi honorifics at least until one of the last couple episodes if at all. I’ve been told this isn’t unusual for older couples, whereas younger SK are more likely to be casual with hyung/nuna with each other if they start to date. If they were the same birth year it might be different, also I don’t think they use honorifics in North Korea, I’m pretty sure they call each other comrade there so no honorifics. You do hear Seri’s mom call her Seri-ah and Seri calls her older brothers -hyung. Seri and Pyo Chi Soo apparently talk casually to each other as a sign of disrespect but as an English speaker I didn’t really catch it.

Here's a guide to Korean honorifics compiled by the mods of the kdrama subreddit. If you google, there are also many other reddit discussion threads on the topic. I know I read one that was specifically about CLOY.

The music from Itaewon Class is sublime. There is this one song by Kim Feel called “Someday, the Boy.” It reminds me of Adele as well as Elton John’s Candle in the Wind. I don’t understand what he’s saying but I can feel it.

I really like the song by V from Itaewon Class, called Sweet Night. It’s in English and one of my favorites.

Agree! I have Someday, The Boy on my playlist too. Plus Diamond (Ha Hyun Woo) and Start Over (Gaho).

But the show is about 10 episodes too long

Agree. It’s also too intense and so there why I didn’t re-watch even though I often e joy re-watching Korean dramas because I inevitably miss something because of my language barrier.

American shows are so overwrought or maudlin and lacking in the humor that relieves the emotion. The characters are less interesting, too. Unlike in good kdramas, they rarely surprise the viewer with new revelations of depth.

Kdrama storytelling and character development is a little like peeling an onion, with constant revelations that deepen or challenge what you know about events or characters. The single season format and use of flashbacks or scenes repeated from a different perspective make this possible. Slice of life dramas, in particular, are explorations of human behavior, and this revelatory style shows just how complicated and unexpected human characters can be.

This is one reason the good ones stand up well to repeated viewing, because the revelations about characters in later episodes have actually built upon clues placed throughout the drama. Upon rewatching, you see so many subtle actions and expressions by characters that go completely unnoticed when you first watch.

Ma’am. They are cheesy.

There’s nothing wrong with cheese! Just enjoy it. No need to write a florid defense of k-drama that verges on uncomfortable fetishization!

I guess I am in a honeymoon phase with kdrama!

Seriously, though, I do love the structure of the storytelling. Here you usually only see it in crime/spy/thriller films, which is what makes them so compelling. It's cool to see the same revelatory technique applied to human emotions.

With the pandemic I've switched to almost all international content (not just Korean). So much good stuff out there.

If a show relies on Tom & Jerry style sound effects as part of the plot, that’s a line I cannot cross. And it seems it’s used a lot. (Despite all my efforts, I’m still a Kdarama/romance one-and-done with the nearly perfect Crash Landing).

Agree that it's strange and distracting.

My other criticism is the weird open-eyed/surprised woman's reaction to a kiss. (Isn't it human nature to close your eyes when being kissed by someone you like, even if you weren't necessarily expecting it??) Maybe it's supposed to convey a culturally specific female hyper innocence. I don't know, but it rings so false and wrecks those scenes, but it seems to be pretty common. Chicago Typewriter had a great kissing scene, and I was so shocked!

Netflix has really started to invest heavily in Korean programming. It'll be interesting to see if and how this affects creative choices.

I liked Lovestruck in the City specifically because it deals with relationship and sexuality in a fashion that seems more appropriate for 30-somethings who have a relationship or two under their belt. It's OK Not to be OK seemed a bit better in that regard as well.

I, too, am interested to see the impact of Netflix on Kdramas. Hospital Playlist and the Uncanny Counter are each getting second seasons - I wonder if we'll see more of that.

I seriously dislike that Netflix is doing multiple seasons for Kdramas. Part of what I love about them is they're one and done.

I'm not seeing nearly as much of the wide eyed "I'm so shocked you're kissing me" scenario in new Kdramas. Most are becoming more realistic and mature. If anyone wants a list of "real kiss" Kdramas, I'd be happy to oblige, as far as the ones I've seen.

The new K-dramas that Netflix will come out will be amazing as they have data on what scenes people enjoy and re-watch.
