I’m the PP who said I found my people. I am 0% Korean, just love K-dramas 😀 |
And I’m the pp who said +1 — I am 0% Korean too, totally reading the subtitles. Can’t multitask while watching! |
Another non Asian here. This show is going on my all time favorites list. |
Huh? These all have romantic elements. The Reply series are about friendship and family and growing up, but they all have a major "first love" element throughout which is the primary emphasis by the end. Because This Life Is My First is pretty much just a romance. Prison Playbook and Tunnel both have romance for sure, but it's not the driving force of the drama. |
Also not Asian, I just like K-dramas and K-Pop. My Korean friends think it’s cute. |
Do your Korean friends watch with the subtitles? I'm jealous of those who can watch without having to read. |
If you enjoy Asian dramas, Viki.com (also an app) has dramas and movies from different Asian countries. A lot of content, especially the new shows are restricted for a period of time unless you have a paid subscription, but there is plenty of free content. |
I watch BTS Run and Bon Voyage on Weverse. Do those count as K-dramas, they're pretty funny. |
Itaewon class is da troof! Heart pounding stuff |
ugh I want to watch this again for the first time. |
I just finished Crash Landing on You last night, stayed up so late but worth it. You all were right - it was soo good! The leads were my favorite but I absolutely loved the soldiers and the village women. The North Korean soldier who loved South Korean dramas was my favorite! I wish it could be longer than 16 episodes. I think I will rewatch b/c sometimes I missed a couple things while trying to read the subtitles.
I also didn't know the main lead (Hyun Bin) on Crash Landing is also a lead on Memories of the Alhambra (also on Netflix). I need to check out that series too. |
I liked it more the second time around and could really appreciate the 4 soldiers and townswomen. I tried our Alhambra and just couldn't get into in -- maybe I'm just not ready to see Hyun Bin in such a different role. Similar recs to Crash Landing appreciated! |
So after watching this series, I discovered that they actually have a BB*Q Chicken/ Korean chicken place franchise here in Virginia (located in Falls Church). This is the chicken place that they show the characters eating in several times. Yeah, good marketing.
I know what I'm going to do this weekend - eat fried chicken and watch this series again. Link: https://bbdotqchicken.com/ |
