your profile name sounds familiar now I think I know where I saw it... can I send you a DM unrelated to this article topic? I want to ask you something if you don't mind.
I was looking at the list again... for beginner-friendly usually the shorter the better. I can suggest One and Only (the shortest: 24 episodes) but it also has a continuation to modern setting Forever and Ever with the same main leads (30 episodes), because they're reincarnated. But I haven't watched it so probably others can pitch in what they think.
Sorry... TROP doesn't make the list either rank or popularity: Rating 8.4, Ranked #420, Popularity #977
The stats are formed by MDLers. If you said the public is too young, maybe you're right. By looking at the popular dramas you can assume so ;D. Romcoms, school/college, good looking/popular actors?
Like you, I don't feel like I have the right knowledge to comment on this, even if I have heard of these types…
On the contrary, I watched Devil Beside You the last, just for writing this article. 2 years ago I saw it but didn't want to watch it, because I thought it was too outdated ;D. But I ought to include that popular classic drama in the article.
Compare-and-contrast essay is hard to write, so kudo for your attempt to write this. I dropped Love 020 (boring) but managed to complete YAMG. I 100% agree with your opinion that both dramas are over-hyped and overrated. However, I 1000% agree that "if the leads are our favorite actors, no matter how bad the drama script is, we still [watch] it"... though may not enjoy it cos we skip other scenes where our faves are not in them. Lastly, just a friendly suggestion: if you love YAMG OST very much, you should link the song title, so readers can listen to it, too. Here's the OST's official link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9MuQW3sM7k
LMAO your article is hysterical! I can picture them on MDL with additional info on characters I know: Kim Bok Joo - her profile info has GIF pics of her eating buckets of chicken with her swag bfff: foodporn-ing and secretly advertising her dad's chicken restaurant. Geum Jan Di - she also posts a secret link in her profile where she sells personal pics of F4 boys cos she's close to all of them (at least the kids at her school will buy them!) Cha Do Hyun - he only watches 500 dramas and 700+ movies??? Should be more than thousands cos his multi personalities watch every genre from high school romcoms (Yo Na) to horror (Se Gi)! Kim Jun Wan - he also watches Music genre and has pics/GIF/links of groups/songs he plays with his friend on his profile... (if not of themselves in jam sessions) Han Se Joo - he also reads and comments on every article published on MDL and even points out typos and grammatical errors missed by the editors!
Hahaha... your article is funny!... Commenting this: " how Moaning Myrtle would want to be a Korean now"... wait until she sees BTS! Then she'll be like that British guy who changed his look to be like Jimin from BTS, lmao!
Can you also make one for best/scariest Horror Movies?
Thanks for asking :D. I will think about it but probably will be late for Halloween cos there are many other articles ready to be published. I also have another article for Halloween, probably it will be published on 30th October if not on 31st. It contains a list of past articles on horror/Halloween stuff some of them about horror movies you can check them out. I will give you the link when that article is scheduled.
