This is a surprise! :scream: Especially since it doesn’t feature your oppa? :joy:


The first four kdramas I ever watched all had Kim Soo Hyun in them :D. It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, My Love From the Star, Moon Embracing the Sun, and The Producers. Then I moved on to Healer and Coffee Prince, Pasta, etc. Gosh I’ve watched a lot of kdramas in just 2.5 years!

I don’t understand how smoking can be so prevalent in SK? I almost lost it when even the DOCTORS in Hospital Playlist smoked. :unamused:

 

@partyon  I do agree with you that smoking is really high in SK when in fact, it is more common to see no smoking signs than it is to see smoking designated areas. That's why, if you are unsure as to where it is okay to smoke, look at what other people in the area are doing or look for areas with cigarette butts or outdoor ashtrays. Numerous stars have been caught with cigarettes or seen with vape pens. The legal age to purchase liquor and tobacco still remain at 19. But, smoking inside restos is prohibited.   :heart2:

 @partyon Noona, you guessed my Guilty Pleasure correctly! Its watching Sageuks, but not limited to "Jewel in the Palace", but it is mostly watching my favorite scenes from my favorite Sageuks :piggydance:

 

The ones I frequently check out from time to time are: 

 

  • Six Flying Dragons
  • Slave Hunters
  • Joseon Gunman
  • Dae Jang Geum
  • Emperor of the Sea
  • Tree with Deep Roots
  • Moon Lovers

and many more. I also do watch my favorite scenes from Jang Nara's dramas, but not as often as I do with Sageuks :exercice:

Last year, for sure but not sure when. I totally forgot about rewatching it. :D

 

I have still paused this on like 7th or 8th ep. I have definitely not dropped it, but somehow this drama didn't manage to make me want to complete it asap. I watch it, then stop, get busy with life, and then realize that I got to complete it, just like I did right now and will try to complete it over the weekend :wow1:

 

Not saying the drama is bad, I actually do enjoy its cases, but somehow it seems to miss something which would make me watch it more.

I used to binge watch a lot of dramas when I start watching ten years ago. I liked many kdramas but I don`t have a guilty pleasure. I  do not rewatch kdramas. Maybe I should watch old kdramas that I liked but so little time and there are others new kdramas to watch.

 

Those were the days Chingu, I also used to binge-watch dramas a lot. I still do, but not that often. At the same time, I still think the older dramas were more bingeable for me, since whenever I plan to re-watch older dramas, I end up watching more episodes than I had planned to :eats:

My Mister - once immediately after the main screening. I could go past the second rewatch because this was the most emotionally "destructive" drama ever written. Too much! :heart:

 

 

This drama has been in my watchlist for a long time, guess I will have to go for it this year :wow1:

Yes please to this drama! I can't rewatch it too often though. Last time I watched it was with @Sleepy Owl dongsaeng back in 2020 or early 2021. It puts such a toll on one because it elicits a lot of emotions. My plan is to rewatch it next year with dongsaeng.

 

 

I think I am ready to re-watch it Noona, anytime you say, I will be ready

To watch it so fragmented!  I could not do it like you do it. It kills all the joy I might have to watch a drama.

 

The highlight for me was the two main lead characters/ actors. I like both actors, especially Park Hee Soon. That`s why I rewatched it. And to remember the plot. Kang Ha Neul made a memorable bad guy.

I think they wanted a second season but it did not materialize. I am Ok with the ending. I am not upset like I am with drama series TEN.

Wow, you have a good taste of movie list and they are mostly high rating in the IMDb critique platform.

 

Chingu, am such a big fan of movies that I have taken it as my mission to watch all movies on the top 250 imdb list. :D

Still have more than 50 movies left. Do you have the same mission?

BTW, where (which free website) did you watch them from? If you have a link, pls let me know? Thanks :) 

 

It's hard to find them tbh. Find them on YouTube, Netflix, other streaming platforms, good old fashioned TV, etc. On my watchlist at the moment I have Heat and Braveheart (which I think are on NF). What about you?

You're right! It's amazing that you've "only" watched kdramas for 2.5 years! I'm super picky, so don't start more than 5-12 kdramas per year. I drop most of them. :D

Again? One time for me was enough. I`ll cheer for you.  

 

Don't be shy, chingu!

 

@agenth's Secret Love oppa is chill and friendly!

Rewatch?! I have not even watched this drama once. LOL. What is it about?!?

 

It's a barf drama, Ms. Koko! From 2013. It's revenge and a tsundere ML. It's romantic too!

 

Here's the trailer:

@agenth chooses her oppas well!

 

It is sad that Bae Soo-Bin never got the chance to be a lead actor (first lead) in a drama.

 

I remember the first episode of Secret Love. It was so frustrating, I almost dropped the drama. The worst courtroom scene I saw in a kdrama ever. I was shocked how bad it was.  :w00t:

 

This drama was OK for me but it is not my cup of tea. If  it wasn't for all of you/your rewatch event, I would never have watched it. But I could understand the appeal for this genre, why people liked it.

LOL :D I've never seen anyone complaining over a drama character as much @agenth did when watching this drama. She hated that guy so much.

I still think that she hates the guy standing on the right even more...The amount of complaints the rest of the EOs had to endure while watching Mine....
:sweats:

Nahh have you ever seen me watch a barf drama?!? The male lead thinks that the female lead killed his girlfriend. There is no way that it ends normally. Maybe let's rewatch Kill me heal me. Same couple, better drama.

@larus will enjoy the KMHM rap as a new rap enthusiast. :kiss_wink:

 

I did find the kiss scenes a little underwhelming in the drama though. :(

Could have been more passion in them.

OH, You were kidding that Bae Soo Bin was her oppa!!!!!

If she hated his character that much I can`t blame her. He played a pathetic, sleazy, irredeemable human beeing. Perfect character for a makjang drama.

I watched Mine and I kind of remember that character (`the young master`?)  but I can remember what he did to deserve the hate.:w00t:  Sorry, I am watching all those makjang dramas (when I watch them) not involved emotionally in the story.

Neither can I. She just hated his character so much. :D I think the Young Master - Maid romance is what set her off. :sweatingbullets:

 

Shhh... Don't tell agenth I posted this pic :D
