KDRAMAs THAT MADE ME FEEL SOMETHING
(not in any particular order)
disclaimer: I just started watching kdramas seriously this 2020. This is highly personal.
These dramas are the best, for me at least, and the ones that made me feel the most. ๐๐ป
* Crash Landing On You ๐
- This has been my black whole for kdramas-I went in and I never came back. This drama made me fall in love with kdramas.
- It is funny, romantic and heartwarming at the same time. It showed that sometimes strangers can be more home than your family.
- I loved the second couple just as much as the main.
- This helped me a lot through this year, I went through a hardcore โseparation anxietyโ when it ended.
Feels like: a sunny day under a tree surrounded by flowers in full bloom ๐ธ๐บ
Romance: so strong that it can light up the whole of North Korea (not my words)
Strengths: actorโs chemistry
* The Tale of the Nine Tailed ๐ฆ
- I donโt watch horror films AT ALL but the fact that I enjoyed this and loved it says a lot about how good this is.
- The magical character made it feel like I was reading a fantasy novel
- I loved some characters more than others and I wished some endings didnโt end the way they did BUT I understood.
Feels like: a hot bowl of soup on a rainy day
Strengths: the BROTHERHOOD
- the cutest but also mind-blowingly good
- Almost all characters are amiable. They are young but incredibly capable.
- It is like watching anime human version
- Will make you miss your youth (given that I am the same age as the actors)
Feels like: having butterflies in the stomach
Romance: the best of young love
* The King: Eternal Monarch ๐
- I watched this while it was airing and I very much enjoyed all the theories here on tumblr just as much as the drama itself
- Doppelgรคnger to a whole other level
- Strong independent individuals
- I loved this drama deeply and who wouldnโt fall in love with the male lead who is smart, decisive and loyal.
- The love line was mature without any misunderstanding.
- The ending was not perfect but it tied up mostly everything in the end. I wanted to see more of this world.
Feels like: reading a love poem
Romance: literal star-crossed lovers
Strengths: cinematography
* Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ
- okay, right now you just want a break from kdrama mind games. You just want a cute rom-com. This is the drama for you!
- This is relatable in the sense that you are not even an athlete but you think you know what it feels like
- Tremendously raw at times
Feels like: falling in love
Strengths: friends that are family
Rewatch? : the type that you can watch over and over again
* While You Were Sleeping ๐ธ
- dreamy and also โwhat a visual cast.โ
- The first episode is an entire movie
- Will make you care for people you donโt even know
Feels like: a beautiful daydream
Romance: love in itโs purest form
* Itโs Okay Not To Be Okay ๐
- As you may have guessed from the title, itโs about mental health
- It shows how the toughest battles are in your head
- This will make you bawl your eyes out
- Not for the weak at heart
- You will need a huggg after this
Feels like: sleeping in the softest silk
Romance: chemistry across all boards
Rewatch? : maybe? Just because it hurts (albeit the best way) and also because I already did
- This is something you can recommend anybody
- About life-itโs best and worst moments
- makes you wanna get your life together
- Also, it makes you want to wrap these people in comfy blankets and give them hot milk
Romance: it will grow on you
Strengths: acting was superb and OST!
- How can we make a list of kdramas without this main meal? Everyone loved this and I must say, rightfully so.
- Second lead couple was everything
Feels like: experiencing the first snow fall
Romance: will also grow on you
Strengths: everything about this was iconic
These are highly mainstream dramas because Iโm a basic b*tch but also since Iโve been reading everybodyโs lists before watching (mostly). And if your fave is not in the list, itโs likely that I have not watched it so hit me up ๐๐ป. I have TONS still to watch so donโt come at me.
P.S. Yet to watch: Scarlet Heart, Hotel De Luna, Reply Series, etc. โ๐ป
