Oh I already know and love Psych! 😍 Haven't heard about Will Trent and High Potential though, but they look interesting! Thanks for the Reccs! ☺️ To clarify, do they also have Romance along the Spy/Crime genre??
"Waiting for Gyeong Do will tell the story of a man and a woman who met and fell in love when they were in their twenties and got reunited at an unexpected moment in their lives. "
Omg The Updates on this drama lately: First per cute preview clip the couples will indeed be LDW & LJB and LKS & LDH -- YES!! Just Like I prefered! 😍 Anyone who's seen Dahee and Kwangsoo on Running Man knows how freaking FUNNY they are next to each other - so paired in romcom will be Hilarious and would've been a Waste of their naturally funny dynamics to not happen! 😂😂 Also imo LDW suits better with LJB than LDH anyway.
And also someone apparently saw Yoo In Na on set so now there's rumors she'll be playing a Guest role as one of the 3 Exwives of Lee Dong Wook - Omg My ReaperSunny Heart 💀☀️😍, I did Not see this coming!! 😍
Good for you that you like makjang melo, then you won't miss out on a Must watch series! 😍
Reading reviews on IMDB, lol I think some can be just as biased as on MDL 😅 They obviously just don't like the Melodrama genre 😅 "It's too melo, so it's bad "-Logic 🤦♀️ It's objectively a good series with Both Awards Won And Success attained.
Everyone else is giving High rating & praise over there and Elsewhere. Some melodrama haters claiming "Only Turkish people like this series, because they're used to melo"....Meanwhile the series is the #1 Most Internationally successful Turkish series of all time to date, if you check the statistics of most Watched and internationally loved series😅😅🤦♀️🤦♀️ Talk about Delulu haters LOL
Some hate it because they ship the leads with other actors feom other series & are jealous of their chemistry there (trere are shippers of others who frequently show up on the shipper videos of Black Money Love just to spread hate)😅 Some are simply jealous of the series success.....
I need to wash my brain after those nonsense reviews. At least they could TRY to be objective but Nope. 🤦♀️🤦♀️😅😅😅 Should I also start attacking Comedies for being Comedy genre. ?!? "Toooo muuch comedyyyy not enough Melo!! Series is Trash!!" 😅😅🤦♀️🤦♀️
Warning: I hope you like Majkang style melodrama/SoapOpera, Cause Black Money Love isn't just Action Rom, it also leans on very heavy Melodrama, so not for people who are allergic to drama/Prefer more comedy style.
But otherwise it's an Award-winning series for a Reason.
I'll copypaste my comment about it from another recc I made to another person here:
" "Kara Para Ask" / "Black Money Love" (its english title). It has Both DEPTH & SIZZLE too!
It' on Netflix with about 165 eps x 45 minutes. That might look like Many eps, but I guarantee you IT'S ABSOLUTELY WORTH it! :
1.). It doesn't FEEL that long because it's Extremely well-paced. No boring Moments after ep 3 when plot gets going on Netflix version (ep 1 in original version). It's so addictive too, you'll be glad it's long and that you'll have many MANY EPS WITH A GREAT PAIRING! 😍 No "WHAT Great Romance pairing should I get into next, I feel empty!?!" for a while for you with this series. 2.) The couple's chemistry is FIRE and it's the most realistic couple scenes I've ever seen in a drama ever (One of those pairings people wonder if they date irl after the drama, especially since the actress got suspisiously divorced after the drama after THAT chem lol). The directing of their scenes, they're such a hyper realistic Cuddly couple that makes one Warm inside.🥰 3.) It's possibly the best Relationship Buildup I've ever seen. Excellent writing. 4). I've never seen such an Hyper- Emotionally Supporting pairing like this before. They are the definition of "Being There for each other through dark times (&danger!)".
Basic plot: Ömer (ML) is a cop + Elif (FL) a designer, who suddenly experience mutual tragedy as his fiance and her father are one day found murdered together in a car. They begin investigating together, while constantly being put in danger. Also family is a central theme. And Diamonds.
Genres: Thriller-Romance (LOTS OF ROMANCE in this thriller, romance is NOT just a subplot in case you're wondering, obviously not at the Start as he' greving his fiance. But they have chem since ep1, which builds up slowburn nicely. But also lots of Thriller where leads are always in danger!), Melodrama, Slice of Life. It gets more melodramatic later on. Good ending (Let me know if you want spoilers if happy or sad ending).

It's Extremely emotional at times, emotional depth lots of it in the drama and in their relationship, the pairing isn't only supporting each other through it all, they are also Emotionally Supporting THE VIEWERS by making the pain bearable with their cuteness and hopes despite their traumas.🥰😅
(The original ep count is 2h eps x 53 eps or something like that. Netflix cut the eps into more easily watchable shorter eps. This original 53 ep version can be found on Youtube, if you don't have Netflix).
Nowadays also there's a 45 minute x 165 eps Eng DUB version on Youtube. But I recommend the Eng Sub version on Netflix (if your country has the streaming rights), the actors act so well with their voices"
Retyping because I accidentally hit Backspace before posting a very loooooong comment!! 😵💫🫨😭😭
:
FUN FACT, that makes Alias more exciting: EXPECT GREAT CHEMISTRY🔥🔥😍 BECAUSE.... The Lead actors actually dated irl (If i remember correctly the timing: it was during filming season 2-4), Until the actress suddenly dumped him for another costar in a movie (Ben Affleck, Daredevil. Now many years later she divorced the bastard for being a drunk and abuser. Made me feel even worse for the Dumped actor), Poor man. DESPITE this the actors were SUPER PROFESSIONAL and Filmed a last satisfying Season 5 and finished the series well for fans despite the awkward situation. I will forever be grateful for them finishing it well despite it all. Imagine if they'd ruined a 10/10 Series because of their irl situation!!! Glad they were so considerate towards fans/shippers. It didn't end badly or abrubdly. 5 Seasons was just perfect. 🤗
This irl backstage drama stressed me out so much during the time😭, but luckily none of it ruined the series. Them ending their irl rel didn't make the Lead Character's sweet romance any lesser. It's still a great Spy-Rom story.
Alias has love triangles at start when the leads start as just friends &coworkers/Fellow Spies working Missions. Slowburn buildup, but not too slow, you won't have to wait many seasons for romance. Later on they become all about each other, but later as Seasons go by has some love triangles, but leads are still always just in love with each other, the others are obstacles that makes things more exciting. I didn't find the love triangles annoying, as the others were never True options. The leads aren't Torn, it's the forced circumstances. Can't spoil with detail. Every season end & season start has huge twists, I'll say nomore 😆
Healer Happiness A Love to Kill Vincenzo Marry My Husband Cain and Abel Secret Miss Night and Day Behind Your Touch (but barely had romance)
My Perfect Stranger -JKJ's kdrama was also good, but I wasn't invested in the romance part ha ha, somehow saw/prefered the leads as Friends, although I enjoyed their scenes together, saw no romantic chemistry, looked like Platonic bffs
Well some of those are more Revenge + Rom, but yeah, the combo of either Action or Revenge + Romance works so well!
Outside of kdrama, I'm also in love with Action Romance overall!: Several old american Spy/MurderMystery + Rom series like Alias, Chuck, Bones, The Mentalist, Castle, Brooklyn 99
Alias and the turkish series Black Money Love are my fave Action Rom Tv series of any countries Ever made! I always rewatch those two occasionally 😍
Currently I'm watching the kdrama Birth of a Beauty (Revenge + Rom), Quite addictive imo, too bad I'm too busy irl to binge it, otherwise would've watched the whole thing already ! 😍
I hope there's a nice balance of plenty of romance with ALSO plenty of action. And mainly wish for Quality script!
This is the drama I'm looking forward to most lately, mainly because I like both leads and the combo of Action+Rom genres. 😍 Add to this, the antagonist Kim Shim Rok seems very cool!
I assume she either made a huge mistake with the drunk driving or she had mental problems (maybe something bad…
Mental illness is never an excuse for a crime.
I've done many hour of volunteering in support groups for people undergoing theraphy, much of the people there who are Not prone to crime, would be hurt by your DISINFORMATION that mental illness leads to crime...
R.I.P. Died too young indeed, BUT things aren't black & white, let's not minimize Drunk Driving:
Yearly road deaths globally: Worldwide, of the estimated 1.25 million annual road deaths, 273,000 are thought to have involved at least one drunk driver.
It's disgusting how people here keep calling Drunk driving a "mistake", when it's a Serious CRIME. It's because were talking about a young woman. If it was an old man, people wouldn't excuse them.
Did she deserve to die? NO. Did she deserve to get cancelled once before for a CRIME?! YES. Perhaps knetz shouldn't have been so unforgiving to PERMANENTLY cancel her & never allow another chance after punishment which ultimately lead to her death (when they are fine with Rapists and the Double commited drunk driving Squid Game actor they're fine with him🤦🏼♀️) but to at least temporary cancel was ENTIRELY RIGHT. It's called consequences for ones actions.
Things aren't black and white. Permanent cancellation vs Some cancellation are not the same thing.
I hope her friend who found her isn't too traumatized to have found her like that and will find a way to heal. I wish same for all her friends and family.
It's unfortunate that she died so young, but what's wrong is wrong. Drunk driving is not a 'mistake,' it's a crime.…
It's disgusting indeed how the naive kiddies here keep calling Drunk driving a "mistake", when it's a Serious CRIME.
Did she deserve to die? NO. Did she deserve to get cancelled once before for a CRIME?! YES.

CAN.KOREA.JUST.STOP.WITH.THE.REUNION.ROMANCES.ALREADY?!?!
2024-2025 90% of Romcoms where reunion romances, getting tiresome and it's ruining Romance Kdramas now!!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️

Or haters are using AI to make thousands of accounts to downrate dramas!??
Now we can't even reach a 6 😭😭 What is this?!??
????
I have NEVER in my 10 years of watching Kdrama, seen a kdrama being rated 5. anything already During airing!!!!
Is it THAT bad?????? Or are people just haters or impatient before plot gets going???
But otherwise it's an Award-winning series for a Reason.
