6 couples “love to disguise” biggest love in Korean movies: Park Seo Joon's hilarious kiss is still remembered

 

Korean films feature bromance couples with "nice armpits", Gong Yoo - Lee Dong Wook, Park Seo Joon - Ji Sung, Lee Min Ho - Woo Do Hwan, ... they are all irreplaceable.

 

Don't think that viewers only like the love line between a man and a woman, sometimes man-man couples are also enthusiastic about pushing the boat with a lot of viewers. If you are an actual Korean movie, then you are probably familiar with the six sweet bromance vapors on the Korean screen below.

 

5. Lee Gon (Lee Min Ho) - Jo Young (Woo Do Hwan)

 

King: Eternal Monarch (Immortal King) is a women's association called "love in disguise" where Lee Min Ho's movements - Woo Do Hwan are even more interested in the main character Kim Go Eun. In The King: Eternal Monarch, Lee Min Ho - Woo Do Hwan play the Emperor and the Guardians, although in two different positions they are actually closer together than brothers. Taking advantage of the duo's attractiveness, the film producer repeatedly entertained fans with a beautiful "hint tray" of the Hoang De - Kan Ve couple.

Netizens have just compiled a series of photos of male gods in the kitchen in popular Korean movies, who do you want to be the one to cook for you?

 

Not the scenes of showing off their muscular muscles or showing off their immense charisma, the scenes of Korean male gods that make women fall in love the most are when the oppa go to the kitchen to cook for their loved ones by themselves. Lee Min Ho, ... are all male gods who have been in the kitchen on screen.

Top 10 Korean drams in 2020

Aulia Putri Pandamsari, Karyuvi Barton
09/05/2021

 

Quote from Conversation: The pandemic has made Korean dramas popular. Korean drama is an addition to a boring life and a lack of activity, because during a pandemic, people are forced to study more at home.

The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) conducted a survey among viewers of Korean playwrights in Indonesia during the pandemic. In a survey of 924 respondents between the ages of 14 and 69, LIPI found that 842 people watched Korean dramas during the pandemic. Among these 842 respondents, 73 are new viewers of Korean dramas.

Based on watch length, 41.3 percent of respondents watched Korean dramas more than six times a week. Before the pandemic, respondents spent about 2.7 hours a day watching. Meanwhile, during the pandemic, the average viewing time of Korean dramas rose to 4.6 hours per day ...

Here are the top 10 Korean dramas of 2020, recommended by Forbes and Tatler Asia. In addition to the high ratings from IMDb, the income generated by the actors is no less shocking.

 

King of the Eternal Monarch, 8.2 / 10 rating

 

 

This drama is the field of Lee Min Ho's return from military service. The drama, which premiered on April 17, 2020, also starred Kim Go Eun and Woo Do Hwan. It tells about a parallel world, Min Ho plays the king of the Kingdom of Korea, and Go Eun plays the lieutenant of the Seoul police.

Flavored with humor, stories of betrayal and romance, this fantastic drama caught the attention of the public. Lee Min Ho is the sixth highest paid actor. For the episode, the creator of the drama has to pay Min Ho $ 84.

5 Best Lee Min Ho K-dramas, from The King: Eternal Monarch to The Heirs, here are the star's greatest hits

 

 

Neetha Kurup

 

South Korean actor Lee Min Ho is easily one of the biggest names in K-Dramas. Dubbed the "Hallyu" king for the role his dramas have played in bringing in international fans, Lee is celebrating his 15th anniversary since his debut this year. Lee played his first K-Drama main role in the 2006 EBS drama, "Secret Campus".The 33-year-old actor has since gone on to add more credits to his name, many of which became cult classics and international hits. When new viewers tune into Korean dramas, they are often recommended Lee's dramas, which almost form a rite of passage.

 

Lee's last drama was the hit show, "The King: Eternal Monarch". The actor is currently shooting for the adaptation of "Pachinko", which is Apple's first Korean drama. "Pachinko" will also star "The King: Eternal Monarch" co-star Jung Eun Chae, as well as Oscar winner for "Minari", Young Yuh Jung.Lee has many credits under his name, but some of his Korean dramas stand out more than others. Here are Lee Min Ho's five best dramas.

 

5 Best Lee Min Ho dramas

 

#1 - The King: Eternal Monarch

 

"The King: Eternal Monarch" was one of the biggest K-dramas of 2020. Also starring Kim Go-eun, Woo Do-Hwan, and Jung Eun-chae, the show cemented Lee's spot as an international Korean star.In the show, Lee plays Lee Gon, the emperor of Kingdom of Corea in an alternate universe. Lee's charisma brought out the royal character well and his chemistry with both Kim and Woo made for an enjoyable experience for viewers.

 

#2 - Legend of the Blue Sea

 

"Legend of the Blue Sea" brought Lee together with Jun Ji-Hyun, unarguably a power house in Korean dramas. Here, Lee played two roles, that of Heo Joon Jae, a con artist in the present, and Kim Dam-ryeong, an upper-class official in the Joseon era. With Jun in the female lead role, Lee's work in "Legend of the Blue Sea" added another drama to the list of dramas that did well internationally.

 

#3 - The Heirs

 

"The Heirs", also known as "Inheritors", brought Lee with other big young stars of the K-Drama industry, including Park Shin Hye, Kim Woo Bin, Kim Ji Won, Choi Jin Hyuk, Park Hyung Sik, Krystal, Kang Ha Neul, and more.

 

Lee plays a spoilt chaebol heir who falls for the live-in housekeeper's daughter, who has a rivalry with his former best friend. The 2013 drama earned its cast plenty of awards and still continues to be one of the most-watched shows.

 

#4 - City Hunter

 

 

"City Hunter" starred Lee, Park Min Young, Lee Joon Hyuk, and others, and was a 2011 drama based on a Japanese manga series of the same name. It was also one of the shows that paved the way for Lee's success in Europe and the United States, leading him to be recognized with awards as well as other honors.

 

#5 - Boys Over Flowers

 

"Boys Over Flowers" is Lee's first big drama that did well internationally. The 2009 high school drama also starred Goo Hye Sun, Kim Bum, Kim So Eun, and others, and was based on a Japanese manga series. While "Boys Over Flowers" is an important credit for Lee, the drama is ranked lower in this list due to its problematic depiction of abusive relationships.

Portraits of 8 iconic grandmothers in Korean dramas, some have won Oscars

 

It's not easy to stay in the entertainment industry for a long time. Especially if you have to play the same character, like the figure of a grandmother in Korean dramas . In fact, sometimes the character of this grandmother is rarely highlighted because the audience is more focused on the main character.

However, this is where the veteran actresses who play grandmothers are great in every Korean drama. Decades of working with the same character have made them labeled an iconic figure by Korean drama fans.

In every Korean drama, you will definitely find one of these eight veteran actresses. It was so cool, that someone even won an Oscar. Who are they? Brilio.net has summarized it from various sources, Monday (10/5).

 

4. Kim Young-ok.

 

 

In Korea Kim Young-ok is nicknamed 'Nation's Grandma'. Not without reason, she has been in the world of acting since 1957. She is even very good at making the characters he carries become very iconic.

You could say that most Korean drama lovers know her role. Some of the popular dramas that Kim Young-ok have starred in are The King: Eternal Monarch, etc.

Hooked to the world of Korean drama?

Picking some of recent favourites for our readers

 

 

The King: Eternal Monarch

Number of episodes: 16

Streaming on: Netflix

 

Plot: This one is for those who enjoy a good multiverse story. The King: Eternal Monarch travels between two alternate realities of Korea — the fictional kingdom of Corea and Korea in its present day. Emperor Lee Gon (Lee-Min ho) of the Kingdom of Corea crosses over to the other world and pairs up with detective Jeong Tae-eul (Kim Go-eun) from present-day South Korea to solve the mystery behind his father’s assassination.

 

What works: Marks the comeback of Lee Min-ho to the screen after his long hiatus on account of military service. And boy, does he make it worth it! With a massive production, stellar cast and a lead pair that just can’t go wrong (Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun are our OTP), The King: Eternal Monarch goes one step further to provide the viewer with a challenging plot that puts two recurrent tropes together to yield one very confused but massively entertained fanbase. Now you know that when you mix “there’s a plot to kill the king” with “multiverse” you get an odd K-Drama that stands apart from the rest, and does so with style. The King: Eternal Monarch is fresh and fun, and keeps things interesting for its audience with its unpredictable plot twists. The reviews for this drama have been mixed, but if you don’t mind keeping up with a series, this one’s definitely for you!

Delicious product placements in Kdramas that make us drool: Fried chicken, Subway & more!

 

It's so difficult to keep your cravings in check while watching K-Dramas, isn't it?

Lee Min Ho enjoying delicious fried chicken in The King: Eternal Monarch

 

Not sure about you but, at times, watching Korean dramas can be scary. No! Not the ghosts and gore. The food. Every time they eat something, we start craving it. You might not even particularly like what they're eating, but they eat with such gusto that you start craving it.

 

Here are some mouth-watering foods that made us ravage the pantry at home...

 

Fried Chicken

 

Is there any fast food food in K-Dramas that is as advertised as fried chicken? Chimaek (chicken+beer) all the way! Somewhere during the 1960s, a chicken store sold whole chicken grilled in an electric oven. Later on, one fried chicken store started coating their product with a sweet sauce. The popularity of fried chicken in Korea grew with the arrival of KFC in 1984. But it wasn't until the 2002 FIFA World Cup that chimaek became the most popular dish in Korea. In fact it is so popular that according to a study and statistics in February 2019, Korea has approximately 87,000 chicken eateries which surpasses some fast food chains like McDonalds worldwide! In The King: Eternal Monarch, Lee Min Ho's character eats fried chicken for the first time while travelling in a parallel world. The fried chicken brand featured in the series sold over 550,000 sets of its fried chicken in a month during that time...
