@partyon Besides Hide, there are two more thriller and suspense storyline drama that you should not miss, "Nothing Uncovered" and "Blood free", Han Hyo Joo is CEO who tries to create superior food chain alongside bodyguard, Ju Ji-hoon - sci-fi thriller - I hope you watch them too

@partyon and @Tango27 I hope this drama not going to turn into a romance drama as the story went so far is more in a thriller and suspense mode...i am still enjoying peeling the onion for this drama....😁😁 LBY had kiss sense before but not hot. Married woman like Kim so Yeon also got lots of kissing scenes, especially in Penthouse I and II, so I guess it could be from the directors or writer decision. I have just watched EP8 but i don't want to spoil it, as I saw the preview for EP9, it will be a surprise in EP9 for FL. Park Hyung Sik - i only like his two drama, "Happiness" his look and body size bigger after his military which look healthier , another one "Soundtrack 1 ". I wanted to watch his "Suits" drama, but no time, so I gave up. Currently, he looks too skinny, not so manly anymore...lol. ---------------------------------- Talking about romance story that can spark me. I like something that can inspire or related to our life : I am currently watching one Taiwan Drama called "Imperfect us" (aka We are not kind enough) Synosis : The story begins with an outfit clash. Two women who were born on the same month and the same day, not only fell in love with the same man but also often bought the same clothes. They were rivals in love when they were young, and for 10 years, they have been using clues on Facebook to fantasize about each other's better life and feel jealous. Unexpectedly, they meet again....one already got married with a kid, while another one still single with better career job. When people look back, most of them love to compare things with others when you don't own it. What you don't get is always the most charming and enviable. I hope you can watch it one day in Viki.

Lee Bo Young deserves a better looking guy, this guy looks too young for her, like a young brother 😁🤣 maybe he doesn't have that kind of chemistry look for her. Just like the wonderful world for Kim Nam Joo and Cha Eun Woo, this pair more like a mother and son only, their chemistry can't spark any romance, and luckily they were not a couple in this drama. PS : Wonderful world is a good drama. FYI

Yes the husband is too much, he got an affair and yet blame the wife for exposing him. Of course I am sure the ending will get them in justice, but for their romance, if the director and writer plan to have one for Korean version, I rather let her get a better looking guy for Lee Bo Young, rather than the current one....😁kekeke

Do highlight to me if there is any suspense thriller drama in future. I am waiting for them : "Moving" season 2 "Squid Game" season 2... "Kingdom" season 3 "Gyeongseong Creature" season 2 I hope they release soon...

@partyon Thanks for the spoiler, sorry too curious to know her ending...😄 The World of the Married - the female lead did go out with her colleague who work in the same hospital in the end..... (the colleague actor is now the Male lead in the drama HIDE, hahaha) Perhaps I am too focus on finding the truth of this drama and thus did not focus so much on their noona romance, if there is any in future. Currently I view them as "working partner" to find out where about the husband. But EP7 we have already known the half truth, except the neighbour's female story...Let's see EP8

@partyon Thanks for sharing, yes I am looking forward these two new drama which is thriller based, yes.....great. 😄

Haha. Thanks for the tagging. No way to ship both of them, their chemistry is too far away. I don't even think they have romance on this drama. Lee Bo Young pity him only. This is not love but I would be surprised if anyone highlighted in this forum...I would be fainted, sorry. 🙃🫣 The drama has a truth-seeking, onion-peeling-every-episode vibe. The female lead is very brave and intelligent. Every episode gave me the urge to wonder why he was hiding and given up his identity all of a sudden, and the suspicious female neighbor finally revealed her true face. She was having an affair with the heroine’s husband.. 🤔Shocking at the end of the EP 7..... I did not watch the original version of the drama series, it is based on 2017-2020 BBC Popular TV series "Keeping Faith." They were very popular and released in different seasons. Have you watched the original version?

Yes dear, I am watching the "Hide" drama. I love it. It has all the elements that I like...hook me on...🫡 Currently watching : Hide Nothing uncovered Wonderful world - ending soon Queen of Tears Blood Free The Escape of Seven S2 - crazy show but still watching since I watched the 1st season. 😄. (can drop it if you do not want to waste time) Waiting the below drama to release soon : Chief Detective 1958 (because I like Lee Je Hoon)

@partyon - I guess you know my tastes by now, as I prefer suspense, mysteries, and thriller dramas, so romantic comedies are rarely on my top list unless it's highly rated and recommended to watch in the platform. I do not watch many of the above listed although I read many commented some of which are highly recommended to watch, eg. "Secret affair".... I watched these two whole drama : 1) Hyena - noona romance spent far less time in drama, except their kissing and sex. (although I love this couple). Courtrooms are more suffocating than the real world, where people cheat, flatter, hide, and start destructive relationships—and that's just lawyers. I don't feel noona romance on this drama. 2) When the Camellia Blooms (Gong Hyo Jin & Kang Ha Neul) (2019) - their romance elements was not fully utilised so I don't feel much on the noona romance but this drama was so amazing and meaningful. Strangely, I did not watch fully the below two mentioned drama, I only watched one teaser or one EP on YouTube, but I will choose them because this two couples gave you a strong sense and romantic feeling of what noona romance is here to stay: For TOP noona romance romance, I would chose Something In The Rain (Son Ye Jin & Jung Hae In) (2018) and they were full with chemistry and intimacy that you would almost think Jung Hae In had a crush on Son Ye Jin during the show or after the drama. For 2nd noona romance drama, I would chose WWW (Lee Da Hee & Lee Jae Wook) (2019), their chemistry were funny and comical.

I just came back from Taiwan. I was lucky enough to escape the Taiwan earthquake.Thank God...🙏 I did not watch most of the above listed drama except the two : K2 - Kim Je Ha (Ji Chang Wook) and Choi Yoo Jin (Song Yoon Ah) Start Up - Seo Dal Mi (Suzy) and Han Ji Pyung (Kim Seon Ho) - the most impressive drama that stir up the commotion. Lol 😄 I remembered there was a huge commotion in the drama comment group for this "start up", there were two groups arguing in the discussion group : 1st FL with 1st ML vs 1st FL with 2nd ML. I like 2nd ML Kim Seon Ho (The boy with dimples looks gorgeous in this drama) and he became famous overnight (after this drama). I prefer him in this "Startup" to "Home Cha Cha Cha" PS : I need to catch up other on-going drama as I just returned lately : 1. Queens of Tears 2. Wonderful world 3. Hide 4. Impossible Heir 5. Nothing Uncovered

If I remember correctly, Song Yoon-ah seldom act in an evil role in most of the drama. Just to name a few, : She is best known for starring in the film Jail Breakers, as well as the television dramas Hotelier, On Air, Mama, The K2, Secret Mother, Graceful friends, Show Window: The Queen's House, etc. I watched most of her drama, she is a talented actress, good piano player and once a university professor. For K2, in my opinion, I wouldn't classify her as top evil actor because her character role in K2 was a Madam President, a leader that need to protect a country, it's hard to see any politician being righteous in the Kdrama, her role can be a gray character with a thin line between good and evil, whereas the evil characters in other dramas have distinct personalities and are easily identified as evil because of their selfish thoughts and actions. Where in the past it was easy to see distinct characters, nowaday many characters fall somewhere between angelic and evil until we learn their backstories, which makes the storylines feel more humanity and realistic.

Among all of the above listed, I would vote for Song Ha Yoon (Married My Husband), that horrible person with big eyes and seductively vain appearance, you will hate her in the drama but at the same time you will praise her "extremely insane" performance because of that character role. Fortunately, I don't have such similar "close" friends in my life, otherwise I would write off such friend or let myself disappear in her life, haha, it's too toxic. 😄😄

Dear chingu, I am not a fan of Esom too . To be frank, you may be disappointed that there is no handsome or beautiful actors in this drama. This kdrama was introduced through the platform review. The critique was good. It was the storyline that appealed to me the most, especially the fun and interesting process of stalking the unfaithful couples in order to blackmail them. Since it is a black comedy drama, it makes the negotiation part for blackmailing even more hilarious but surprising. By the way, be prepared to watch the sex scenes and lots of kissing scenes with an open mind as it relates to the theme. Go watch it when you have time. Currently the airing is now at 4 EP.

For 2024, I am currently watching the following and my opinions are : My Happy Ending - nothing fantastic Marry My Husband - nothing fantastic Captivating the King - nothing fantastic at the early stage Doctor Slump - EP 1 is boring at the moment, not sure how the story goes... A Shop for Killers - storyline is quite unique, fast pace and unpredictable...so far I enjoyed it, but not sure how the ending goes? The Bequeathed (2024) - I binge watched this drama, and I love it - What A thrilling, mysterious and suspenseful journey all the way for this drama.... Now I would like to recommend something unusual and interesting Kdrama to watch - called LONG TIME NO SEX (LTNS) - The six-episode Kdrama dark comedy series, story is about a married couple whose sex life has become inactive due to their life's weariness, they blackmail unfaithful couples (appeared on each episode) to earn extra money. The wife, Woo-Jin (played by Esom) and Husband, Samuel (played by Ahn Jae-Hong). Each episode carries a different meaning of the story and how I like about the script writer who can manage well on the ending part of each episode. The ending for each episode appears to be open-ended, but it could implicit at bittersweetness and leave room for viewers to judge the unfaithful couple. Of course, from each EP's lesson learnt, it will probably spike the romance once again for the lead couple
