KDrama in 2022
안녕하세요, 잘지내있어요?
As the year ends, I want to leave you with some kdrama that I watched this year and liked...
Fantasy done well! It carries an interesting concept of immortality through the souls jumping from body to body, but each jump exacting a toll on the soul. Who doesn't want to live forever? It also shows the warring families of magic in an intricate plot. My only issue - Netflix managed to make it a two season story!
Shows that disappointed...
Extraordinary attorney Woo
Such a wonderful feel good show. It's interesting and heart-warming. Watch it for Park Eun-bin in yet another standout performance (after a female 'king' in King's Affection last year).
Twenty five Twenty one
A nostalgic trip down memory lane, filled with comic books, rental libraries, clunky cellphones, sports rivalries and school friendships as well as childhood crushes. And Kim Tae-ri shines in any role she slips into.
Reborn rich (재벌집 막내아들 or the youngest son of a conglomerate)
It's crazy how Song Joong-ki can play a 40 year old and a 20 year old and fit into the role seamlessly! Giving HBO's Succession a run for it's money, it looks at how entitled and ruthless chaebol heirs can be in their battle for succession. But if only like Jin Do-Jun we knew how markets move, we could also become billionaires!
A Business Proposal : Sweet romance, what kdrama is best known for. Both the couples are cute and mushy. What surprised me the most was that there's a Korean word for archaeopteryx - 시조새 ! Easy breezy happy watch!
The star-studded Our Blues was a bit of a let down, although I liked the Kim Woo-Bin segment and I'm glad for his comeback.
Son Ye-jin's Thirty Nine was trailered as three friends living a fun life hitting 40 with strong friendships and finding love. What it turned out to be was a sad story of the reality of aging and death hitting them right in the face and telling them what useless lives they've lived.
Song Hye-Kyo is as drab as the story in Now We Are Breaking Up that I broke up with the show very very quickly.
Couldn't watch Pachinko, Snowdrop and Big Mouth because they are on services I don't pay for.
멋진 새해를 기원합니다 !
