Meineke

Glad I'm not the only one. I'm totally rooting for the John Jang/Ji Wan. The main triangle is so boring.

Well said. I only finished it today. I’m totally heartbroken. No idea how long it’s going to take me to get over it.

I loved her in Why Her. It’s my favourite drama this year. I’ve only watched The Beauty Inside apart from this. I need to watch more of her work.

I love them. Until recently I liked them even better than the leads!

It would be nice to have a friendcation. I've never really had a group of friends to be close with.

Not exactly. There’s probably a little age gap but not much since ML went through some things and started university late.

My thoughts exactly. I just fine RE is very one dimensional. Yes she was wronged and does everything for revenge but I don't know anything about her real personality.

Whoa this is just a trainwreck that you can't stop watching. I can't stand any of the characters except Eun Pyeong. Not one of them invoke any sympathy from me including Ra El. They're all pretty despicable.

Can someone explain Sora's comment about switching the fates of two women, one old and one young? Was Ra El's mother involved with Yoon Gyeom?

He looks like Hobi to me

I’m so glad to see this article. Just yesterday I was thinking that many dramas have bromance but not enough show female friendships the same way. I will definitely watch some of these dramas.

At what point does this get interesting? I’m on ep 6 is it too early to decide to drop.

It’s great as a one time watch. The best part was the bromance and the North Korean setting.

Great article. Agree with you 100%. Historical dramas present an undying love as in they will literally die for you. Modern dramas have less swoonworthy romance and tend to pair it down with too much banter, complications, etc. The only ones that come remotely close are modern fantasy dramas. Why romance is regarded as cringeworthy in modern stories while the same thing is considered epic in historical dramas, I don't get it. Either way, the more the better.

I rarely get SLS. MLL comes naturally to me so it’s not really a strategy for me. If I don’t like ML, I tend to get annoyed with the romance altogether and not because I like the SL better. Even True beauty, contrary to popular opinion, I liked Eun-Woo’s character more.

I was like you too at first but don’t do that. Seo Kang-joon is great, you’ll like him in other roles.

This sounds like my kind of drama. Wouldn’t have been on my radar if not for this article. I’m going to start watching it tonight.

Give him a chance. I’ve seen him in several dramas, he’s really good.

Well that was not the article I was expecting based on the title but it was good nonetheless. In real life, I find men with long hair rather unappealing but in Chinese dramas they look so good! Thanks for writing this article. It was a fun read.

I’m so glad you mentioned That Winter, the Wind Blows. I watched it a couple of months ago and loved it. It’s so underrated. I will definitely check out some of your other recommendations.
