Kdramas you might want to watch … Part II/II
Part I HERE if you’re interested ! 😉
My ID is Gangnam Beauty (Netflix)
It tells the story of Kang Mi-Rae, a young girl who used plastic surgery to transform her face because she’s been bullied her entire childhood. At college, she discovers that having a reconstructed face can also become a challenge. Luckily, she’s got Cha Eun-Woo to always be by her side 😘😘 I think it’s interesting because the actress really did plastic surgery and said that doing this show was a challenge for her.
Three persons are connected by the story of their parents : Chae-Yong Shin (Park Min-Young 💖): a journalist who dreams to become a great reporter; Kim Mun Ho : a famous journalist, and Seo Jeong Hu : the Healer (Ji-Chang Wook 🤤) : a really good night courier. All together there going to try to solve a mystery of murders and conspiracies.
An historical drama, the name of the actors should be a good enough reason to watch this show : Go Ara, Park Hyung-sik, Park Seo-joon, Kim Tae-hyung from BTS, Minho from SHINee, Do Ji-Han, Lee Kwang-Soo among others…). Basically, Go Ara and Park Seo-joon pretend they’re brother and sister when in fact they are lovers, V is super cute and a surprising good actor, Minho is the kind of brother you wish you had… and there’s conspiracy, murders, brotherhood, and a lot of funny stuff. (I’m so bad at summarizing I’m sorry !!!)
The bride of Habaek (Netflix)
With Nam Joo-Hyuk, Shin Se Gyeong and Krystal from f(x) ! The god Habaek needs to go on hearth to find a powerful stone which could help him to get his throne back. In our world, he meets a woman who is supposed to serve him but has no idea of all this and has already a lot of problems. It's funny, kind of crazy, heartwarming, it has a very beautiful love story. What I like the most is that you don't know how it's gonna end until the very last minutes, which contrast with a lot of kdramas that are often predictable.
Park Sae Roy (Park Seo Jun) is sent to prison for aggression on one of his classmate (a huge as*hole) who “injured” his father. Since then, he’s determinate to open a bar and destroy his company and his life as a revenge. He’s going to work with four interesting people, especially a young and sassy woman who’s going to fall for him pretty fast. I love how the main female character is not plain and naive like in most kdramas.
Psycho but it’s okay/It’s okay to not be okay (Netflix)
We follow the story of three main characters : an health worker in a psychiatric facility who’s very caring, his older brother with autism and an antisocial author of children’s tales. When they meet, they can’t be more clashing, however, something in their past connect them deeply. I love how each episodes are a reference to children’s tales and are a mix of fantasy and dark mystery.
Crash landing on you (Netflix)
Yun Se Ri is a pretty and rich young woman who’s going to inherit her dad’s company despite the complaints of her hypocritical brothers and sisters-in-law. After a paragliding accident, she ends up in North Korea where she meets the handsome and “cold” captain Ri Jeong Hyeok. He’s going to help her hide and go back to her country. I love how it takes place (in the story) in North Korea and depicts the differences between the ways of living in the two countries. Plus the chemistry between the two main characters is really touching (they’re dating for real).
Extraordinary you (Netflix)
One of my favorites ! Eun Dah Oh is a high school student with a heart condition. She finds out that her life is not real and she’s actually in a comic book… and she’s not even the main character ! In order to help the main couple, she has to suffer the terrible temper of her “love interest” and forget her reel crush who’s just an extra in the story… and possibly die from her heart condition. She then decides to fight against the writer in order to survive and be able to make her own choices. The main female character is so funny and energetic and her and Ro Woon looks so d*mn cute !
Boys over flowers, 2009 (Netflix)
It’s from 2009 but it’s iconic ! Watch the chinese version too ! Geum Jan Di is the teenage girl of a modest family, when she enters a prestigious school with rich and despicable students, she meets the famous group : the “F4” (rich and handsome young men) with their leader : Gu Jun Pyo (kind of a jerk). At first they hate each other : she’s immature, rebellious and poor ; he’s pretentious, bad tempered and egocentric. But he soon falls for her and change to become a better person. It’s really cliché and simple but funny and you grow fond of the multiple characters.
DO DO SOL SOL LA LA SOL (Netflix)
I watched it this Christmas thinking it would be a light and romantic kdramas for holidays, and it was… but it’s also very sad and heart wrenching at some point. Gu la la is a young and rich pianist who becomes poor after her dad’s company goes bankrupt and her wedding his cancelled. On her own for the first time, she needs to learn to become independent and decides to open a piano school. She meets Seon Wu Jun, a taciturn young man without any family and full of secrets who helps her to get back on track. Turns out she’s going to help him a lot too. I love how all the people she meets become her family and have an interesting backstory to tell. Plus there’s the cutest dog in the world who’s clearly more independent than her...
Hope this will help you for some good binge watch nights 💝🤗!!
