*** The lead actors of “Curtain Call” have shared their closing statements! The drama aired its 16th and final episode on December 27th. Following the finale, Kang Ha Neul commented, “I filmed while thinking about what I could do to look a bit more like Yoo Jae Heon or Ri Moon Sung. I hope this remains as a project that closes its curtains while both I and viewers are all applauding. Jae Heon’s love for theatre performances, his longing [to perform], and his constantly positive mindset are all similar to me. Next time, when I play another role of someone in theatre, I think I’ll be reminded of Jae Heon. I think after running auditions for his project, Jae Heon will be asking Se Yeon for dinner. I think Se Gyu [Choi Dae Hoon] will have given up on acting. I believe Jae Heon will be in the midst of convincing him to work for the hotel.”

*** I re-watched “Insider” since I was not able to do it continuously during its airing because of lack of time. The drama shows how hard it is to survive in a corrupt system. I find “Insider” heavy to watch. There was just so much happening in this show. Still, the show delivered twist after twist with satisfying payoffs in order for KHN to claw his way back up. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed “Insider” — The ending was about to be roped into another operation, though. Surprisingly enough, I was fine with the ending.  I felt jilted by Soo Yeon’s decision to surrender herself. I wanted her like to "Go on with your badass self!!" – hahaha - She deserved to be free. I like it when he said "I'll stick by you like you've for me" um…. partners in crime? This drama is one of those shows where there were a lot of characters & sometimes it was a bit hard to keep track of who was who.

Best romantic Korean dramas to binge watch this year

 

While romance has always been a popular genre when it came to TV shows, people’s love for romantic dramas reached another level when the Hallyu wave acquainted them with Korean romantic dramas. Korean dramas are loved and admired by the world for their directorial and visual finesse. K-dramas cover a wide range of shows but their romantic ones have a separate fan base. 

 

‘Goblin’, ‘Descendants of The Sun’, ‘W: Two Worlds’, ‘Pinocchio’, ‘Crash Landing On You’ are some of the many Korean romantic dramas that were able to amass a massive viewership during the course of their broadcast. Their receptive popularity however was not limited to the time of their airing but in fact, went beyond that. These shows are shared favorites for a huge portion of K-drama fans. 

The rising popularity of Korean dramas can be attributed to a myriad of various factors besides their production merit.

K-dramas are accessible. They can be enjoyed via a variety of streaming platforms and have subtitles. When it comes to watching shows, subtitles facilitate the broadening of a horizon. Subtitles prevent language from becoming a barrier between any one who appreciates or is looking to explore any artform in a foreign language.

5 K-Dramas To Watch If You Liked "The Interest Of Love"

Wondering what to watch now that "The Interest of Love" has ended? Look no further, because we have the list for you!

 

 

2. "When The Camellia Blooms"

 

 

 

There's a beautiful garden of love waiting within the KBS drama "When the Camellia Blooms". The touching drama stars Kong HyoJin as Dong Baek and Kang HaNeul as Hwang YongSik. Dong Baek is a single mother and the owner of a bar who faces many hardships. YongSik is a kind local police officer with a warm heart. The two begin a relationship, all while looking for a crime suspect.

 

"When the Camellia Blooms" is an incredibly touching drama and each character has unique quirks that make them loveable and sincere. The sweet innocence that exudes from YongSik is admirable, and you cannot help but cheer him on as he steadily makes his feelings for Dong Baek known. It definitely takes some time for their relationship to develop, but it's all worth it in the end. The small happenings with the supporting cast also adds layers of depth and excitement to this already amazing drama.
