willenette Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 21 K-Drama Superlatives From 2020 Many things have been up in the air this year. (And no that’s not an airborne virus joke). Travels, studies, work, leisure, relationships, etc. have all been impacted one way or another. But there’s one thing that remains constant and that’s K-dramas. And with that, here is our annual superlative roundup. Despite the particularly difficult year, we can still find the silver lining and be thankful that we’ve at least had a strong showing in K-dramas to help us get through our stuck-at-home days. We’ve seen plenty of fantasy, sci-fi, and even makjang dramas, though there does seem to be less sageuks this year. Cable channels in particular have gifted us with well-written, well-produced, and well-cast dramas. To honor the dramas that have accompanied and provided us with healing or have just been a form of escapism, I give you, in no particular order, 2020’s superlatives. Now before you get up in arms about not seeing your favorite drama, please note that this is not a list of the best dramas of 2020, but rather a fun, silly way to take a stroll down memory lane. So feel free to head down to the comments section and nominate superlatives for all the other deserving dramas! Disclaimer: This article only includes dramas that premiered between December 1, 2019, and November 30, 2020. Also, minor spoilers ahead! Most victorious return from the military (2020) Kim Soo Hyun in “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” Aired on: tvNAir date: June 20 – August 9, 2020 (16 episodes)Starring: Kim Soo Hyun, Seo Ye Ji, Oh Jung Se, Park Gyu Young, Kim Mi Kyung Kang Ha Neul received this title last year for his victorious return with “When the Camellia Blooms.” This year there were actually quite a few male actors making their post-enlistment comeback, but Kim Soo Hyun was arguably involved with the most critically-acclaimed drama of the bunch. He had a cameos in “Hotel Del Luna” and “Crash Landing On You” before having his official comeback with one of the most talked about dramas of the year, “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay.” Kim Soo Hyun plays Moon Kang Tae, a caregiver who works at a psychiatric hospital and has an autistic older brother (played by the ever-so-talented Oh Jung Se). The whole drama, with dashes of fairytale wonder, is unique, aesthetically pleasing, and fronted by a strong cast.

Cinder9966 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Yea, being his fans is hard. He doesn't take on projects as often. I hope he will from now on, one project per year I still very happy. I hope he confirms the new drama "Bloody fingers" soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder9966 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The news confirmed he rejected the drama offer to him "Bloody fingers"... We trust you KSH, I am sure you already have other offers in mind you are consider. Hopefully won't take too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We trust you KSH, I am sure you already have other offers in mind you are consider. Hopefully won't take too long. @Cinder9966, yes, I feel sad & bad that he turned-down this Netflix project. IDK what's the reason. I guess his agency wants some say/control in the production, which they can't do that when it's under Netflix. I wish him success on whatever project he chooses. Well, he will always do a great job no matter what project he's in, though. But, I would love to see him in this kind of role. But I respect his choice. I believe in his decision. Good luck KSH! I hope he picks another great role that he wants to do. Definitely, he doesn't want to play a sociopathic murderer. It's an interesting role. Or more likely he didn't like aspects of the project. What about another rom-com, huh? I love that kind of genre. Romcom projects are fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people also said they keep changing the director which is not a good sign either. Rom-com is good, but do you think he will..? He has done some in the past, he loves to challenge himself, I think he wants something diff and unique.

This upcoming drama is named “That Night” (literal title). The drama is about two men who get involved in a murder case. Kim Soo Hyun will play Kim Hyun Soo, a normal college student whose life turns upside down when he unexpectedly becomes the key suspect of the murder case. Cha Seung Won has been cast as Shin Joong Han, a lawyer who barely passed the bar exam and the only person who reaches out to help Kim Hyun Soo. It will begin filming the first half of this year and premiere in the latter half of the year. Wahhh................having him on the screen right away is indeed a blessing. I'm excited for Kim Soohyun's return on the screen again. I guess this character suits him better..I'm always here for KSH! He rejected the last one but gives us something else! He's an excellent actor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willenette Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 *** I'm glad that Kim Soo Hyun is set to return on the small screen again with an exciting drama "That Night, which is a Korean series remake of BBC's "Criminal Justice." Together with Kim Soo Hyun is Cha Seung Won. The said drama will be a collaboration of GreenBam Media, The Studio M, and Kim Soo Hyun's home agency Gold Medalist Entertainment. I'm sure this will be one of the most highly anticipated thrilling dramas of 2021. The shooting schedule will start kick off in the first half of this year and is scheduled to premiere in the second half of the year. I'm excited to see his impressive acting performances once again.
