[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay this is fun. Let's see what I can do. I hope others will add to my list.

1. Hyun Bin is super good looking by all world standards. It’s like I’ve been hit in the head. Had no idea he existed.

Agree Hyun Bin is lovely. He's also in Memories of the Alhambra which is another Netflix production, but I haven't seen it. It seems pretty niche because it's about some virtual reality world his character creates. I've read the ending is a little disappointing. Some other Korean actors I personally find "super good looking by all world standards": 
- [u]Ji Chang Wook[/u] ("Healer" - this show is objectively so good, I think it's up there with Crash Landing for overall quality - this is my favorite show ever, period.) 
- [u]Lee Dong Wook[/u] (This dude is gorgeous, I don't care who you are. Recommend him in "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" where he was secondary but stole the show, or "The Scent of a Woman" which is a heartbreaking and beautiful story that's a bit older.)
- [u]Junho[/u] (Recommend him in "Just Between Lovers" - this show is objectively so damn good. It's heavier and based on a real trajedy that occurred in Korea when a mall collapsed. Strongly recommend this show for overall quality and the romance is also beautiful.) 
- [u]Park Seo Joon[/u] (His characters are somehow always a combination of goofy and sexy - "Fight My Way" on Netflix is a great coming of age story, I think this one is objectively really good, with an overall light vibe.)
- [u]So Ji Sub[/u] ("Oh My Venus" - this is a mostly light romantic comedy, cheesy at times but very cute, also swoony at times. I find this to be more of a guilty pleasure type of show.) 
- [u]Park Hyung Sik[/u] ("Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" - also mostly light romantic comedy, this one has an odd premise but everyone I know who's watched it really liked it.)

Thanks!! This is so nice of you.  
- Park Bo Gum ("Encounter" is a mostly aesthetic show in my opinion, watching two really beautiful people fall in love, in really beautiful scenario with really beautiful cinematography. It's more about the visual experience than the story.)

All of the above shows are available to watch on Viki.

2. The scenes in the Korean village are an immersive experience. It’s fascinating. The dialogues and acting of Captain Ri’s squad, and the village women are funny. Episodes 1-9 were my favorite. 
- For similarly immersive experience and just an overall excellent show, you may enjoy Reply 1988. It's on Netflix currently. The whole Reply series is great (there are three), but I would start with this one. This one shows the tightknit relationships of families who all live on the same street in the 1980's, and the families' experiences and hardships and the kids growing up together. The feeling of nostalgia is unreal with this show. One of the North Korean women in Crash Landing is one of the moms in Reply 1988. She's a gem in both shows.

3. The heroine’s beauty is not comparable to the hero’s but she is a good actress and their ying yang in the drama and on-screen chemistry is good.
- All of the shows I mentioned above have really great female leads and great chemistry. Particularly in Healer, the chemistry is off the charts. Some others that stand out for chemistry is Weightlifting Fairy, It's Okay That's Love, Search WWW, 20th Century Boy & Girl, Live Up To Your Name, I Need Romance 3.
 
4. The focus on the smallest details. I’ve watched the hair tying scene 7 times. 
- I think you'll see this in most decedent kdramas. I just finished Start Up (also amazing chemistry) on Netflix and there was a scene I also watched about 7 times where the guy puts the girl's hair behind her ear. (How anonymous am I on this forum? This is not something I would ever admit out loud.) This is something I really miss when I watch American tv now. I feel like, where are all the lovely details?

5. How a deep romance can be portrayed without sex.
- Also a hallmark of most decent kdrama romances. You'll find that with all of those I listed above.

6. The respect for women. Kind of cheesy. But adds to the escapist elements in the drama. 
- Same across *most* kdramas, except in some older ones where there were some pretty sexist tropes in my opinion, like grabbing a girl's arm and not letting her leave, or trying to convey sexiness with forcefulness. Not a fan of that, but I've noticed it's quickly disappearing in newer shows. I don't see it much anymore. Totally agree that it's escapist and lovely. I think you'll see this in all of the shows I mentioned above too.

Lastly, some that I'd mention purely based on their especially beautiful cinematography: 
- Goblin
- Descendants of the Sun
- Mr. Sunshine
- Chicago Typewriter
- Encounter
- Tomorrow With You
- When the Weather is Fine
