@ronsboy67 Heh. I think it's not a bad thing to show that #kdramas can deliver so well, but i see your point. @AnnaAnthro

I started watching QUEEN SEONDEOK partly because I heard it was Kim Nam-gil’s breakout drama, and oh my God. He’s like “It’s a lovely morning in the Silla Dynasty and I am a horrible disciple.”
My husband and I finished Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo. You know it's a well-written drama when pretty much every character landed. Surprising standouts were Nam Joo Hyuk and Ji Soo. Who knew? #kdramas
Les amis, la blogosphère est riche d'un nouveau bébé, dont je suis l'une des mères, avec les copines Tellinestory, @audediteorium et @C_Luce :

My husband and I finished this last night. Excellent twisty sff mystery/thriller. The leads were great, and I did not predict the identity of the villain (until later than usual). There are some changes I would have made, but overall very satisfying. #kdramas
I finished Insider yesterday. I haven't felt so "WHERE IS SEASON 2???" since Vagabond. Kang Ha-Neul and Lee Yoo-Young are the revenge seeking team we didn't know we needed. #kdramas
Episode 7 made me gasp. Started episode 8 but fell asleep--I was tired but wished I could have stayed up. Watched enough to know that the MC was playing everyone. Wow. If I could watch the rest in one day I would. #kdramas
Loving 2022's Insider. Twisty, who do you trust--perfect. Meanwhile, my jaw is dropping over The Witch/Manyeo, and not in the good way. The ML is crazy! #kdramas
Watched episode 5 of The Witch/Manyeo last night. The ML's behavior is stalking, full-stop, and the "rules" he's derived from the accidents seem to exist to justify that behavior. It seems pretty clear to me what's going on, and the explanation would be funny if she hadn't been bullied and lost everything. #kdramas
My husband and I watched The Roundup: No Way Out. Gooftastic, but you know that going in. Suddenly occurred to me that this franchise must be connected to the same team that did the Bad Guys shows, since it not only stars Ma Dong-Seok but has featured Choi Gwi-Ha, Kim Min-Jae, Kim Moo-Yul, and Ahn Seong-Bong. Also, Lee Jun-Hyuk was kind of hilarious as the psycho villain, but he was clearly enjoying himself. #kdramas
Sooooo excited!!!
The Host(2006) by director Bong Joon Ho, has been called one of the best monster horror films of the 21st century so far, and it has been listed among the greatest scifi films ever made.
It remains among South #Korea's highest-grossing films.
Tarantino described it as one of the greatest films of all time.
A remake/spinoff is in the works with Kang Full. He is the genius behind the webcomics & award-wining #kdramas Moving, Lightshop & The Witch (streaming now on Viki).
When I first watched CRASH LANDING ON YOU I was new to #kdramas and #kdrama archetypes and tropes. I also didn’t know the language at all.
I recently started rewatching CLOY and now that I am more familiar with Kdramas and a bit more familiar with the Korean language it’s even funnier. Like, it’s a lot funnier if you recognize the words “dongmu” and “dongji” (comrade/comrades) and notice when it’s used.
As my spouse and I work our way through our list of KDramas, we've had fun watching (sometimes struggling to understand) the English speaking scenes. But Kim Ji-won's performance in Queen of Tears has been impressive. Crystal clear, way to go!
It's interesting how in previous shows, actors will memorize English lines. They're technically correct, but stress the wrong syllables making it difficult to understand. That's probably how my Korean might sound to them.
In other news, still no American actors that are really American. It'll happen!
Hi, I'm Jenny and I've moved to Mastodon #introduction #presentacion
I'm looking for friends with common interests. I like:
#cars
#kdramas
#videogames
#animals
#anime
#baking
#reading
I'm currently playing #fieldsofmistria , reading #OnyxStorm , and just finished the kdrama I was watching, so I'm open to suggestions.
If you want we can be friends
Ju Ju-Hoon is a compelling actor, and some of the work he's done is among my favorites. This will not be one of them. If this isn't something Netflix said "our algorithm thinks this would be a hit", I'll be shocked. And that AI opening sequence? He should sue. #kdramas
@aly73 Welcome, glad you made it here. Hashtags are VERY MUCH your friend, especially #bookstodon for books - adding @bookstodon will see your post auto-boosted too.
once you start typing after the hash, you'll get a dropdown showing the frequency of use - e.g. #KDrama is much more common than #KDramas
As for recs, I was born with a crippling case of congenital laziness, so here are my fave #reads

Over on their bsky account @DaebakPodcast is doing an OST challenge:
Choose 25 songs from
#Kdrama OSTs that you love. One per day for 25 days.
They're NOT limiting themselves to solely #KDramas, and I've decided to do the same.
Day 1 for me is from the only Asian Drama I've watched without subs, and the video is making me want to rewatch it
#SouthAsia #Urdu
If there's one word to describe #kdramas it's "machinations"
@altbot Even the actresses involved were blindsided because the production team essentially deepfaked them! They used body doubles and put the actresses’ faces on with CGI.
This is gross and I hope the actresses/their agencies bring a lawsuit over it, because it probably violates their contracts with the production company (at the very least).
Deleted the original Toot and now reposting because I think I used the alt text bot wrong.
A controversial nude scene in #TheQueenWhoCrowns #kdrama seems to have caught the network and even the director by surprise. The scene is in the steaming version of the drama but not the broadcast version due to age restrictions. It wasn’t supposed to be in either!
