Any K-Drama fans out there?

[Obsi Berithos]

Some of my personal favorites: Signal, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, My Mister, Queen of Mystery, Stranger "Secret Forest", Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People, Voice, Extra Curricular, Suspicious Partner, K2, Kingdom, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, Misty, Miss Hammurabi, Cheese in the Trap, Lookout, Missing 9... just to name a "few" (okay, maybe not so few here >.<)

I don't expect this thread to be too popular, since I'm unsure the popularity of K-dramas outside of Korea and don't expect the numbers to be too high!
Hoping to talk about any of these dramas with a fellow fan!
(No expectations, though)

Yes, I would say most of the fantasy Kdramas end on a very sad note. I would recommend Scarlet Hearts if you enjoy historical dramas with a fantasy twist. Really is the best of them, but terribly sad...

OK. Thanks. The sad endings of the Chinese ones and the movies, like The Bride With White Hair are so different from the USA movies.
But ... it is OK ... they will find each other in another life.

My daughter is Asian and often people make chinese sounds at her, believing they are funny... Im just a bit sensitive when others stereotype, but I now understand you were just joking.

Not really, I'm more intrestred in japanese movies and shows (no, I am not talking about anime), and old russian movies.

But if you know of any good korean horror movies, I will gladly give them a watch.

Indeed I have seen many Korean horror movies! Hansel and Gretel was a unique twist to the traditional and very well done! The Host (mild horror) would be my favorite 'horror' themed Korean movie (acting was phenomenal). Train to Busan (zombie movie) also had terrific acting and the zombies were well made--the story had more of a story to it than just zombies eating everyone. Bedevilled impacted me the most... is also 'horror' themed, but holy hell the story line is very taboo and hard-hitting D:

I just finished binge watching Moon Lovers. It was OK, but not my kind of drama. When the movie Ghandi won all the Academy Awards, it was on my list to watch but also not really my kind of movie. When I finally watched it, it kept my interest. ML was the same, it kept my interest until the end and i liked it.

All the dramas I have seen so far have been "chic flicks". A strong female lead and usually 1/2 the males fall in love and want to protect her. The most beautiful actress is evil and wants to get rid of her. ML was even more of a chick flick than the others. I thought it was going to be a romantic comedy and almost turned it off after 1/2 then 1 1/2 episodes. But then it got into the drama so I stayed until the end.

The story was a little too contrived. She has to appear in all the major events. They could have left her off screen for some of the big events. It also used the shaky-cam technique at inappropriate times. I really hate shaky-cam. It was good until 11 then it slowed down too much. Then too many over dramatic scenes. I also got lost as to who was who with so many male leads. I have a problem telling the faces apart for some of them.

At episodes 11 and the last one, my idiot neighbors all had onion peeling parties in their back yards. :)

But compared to some other dramas the ending was not that sad. Many characters died but that is normal. The King lost his one true love but it could never be a permanent thing anyway. She returned to the real world and has a chance to be happy now.

No, not particularly, but I will watch something if my daughter tells me it's good. A month or so back she recommended Bring it on Ghost or some ♥♥♥♥ like that and we watched it together, it was OK'ish. But seemed like they were running out of ideas towards the middle and the end just wasn't fun.
