I kind of stopped reviewing my kdrama watching over here on the blog! AHH, I'm going to regret that just for my own knowledge at some point. Sigh. Anyway, I thought I'd at least share the list of my favorites for those interested. Because there were some AWESOME ones from this year!
See You in my 19th Life: This one is about a girl who can remember her past lives, and when she ends up in her 19th life, she is determined to find the boy that she loved in her 18th. Oh my word, it's so good and so heartbreaking! We learn about many of her other lives along the way too. (You can watch this one on Netflix)
King of Land: This one is a fantastic romcom about our dude who is the CEO of the hotel (and aren't they all!!) and our girl is the front desk person. And she is like SO GOOD at her job, and ends up working in the posh part of the hotel where the execs (including our dude) hang out. They take notice of each other, and bam, stuff happens. And he's not as CEO -ish as one would imagine. Ah, it's the best romantic-y thing ever! (You can watch this one on Netflix)
Twinkling Watermelon: This one is probably my favorite of the bunch. Our guy is a CODA (child of deaf adult) and is very important to the survival of his family. (His whole family is deaf actually.) But his dream is to play the guitar, and when he argues with his dad about this issue, he ends up back in time (to 1995) when his dad is in high school. And his dad isn't deaf! What's up with that??? And he realizes he needs to help his mom and dad meet, because it appears his dad is gaga over some other girl. This one is so cute, and so funny, and so sweet, and so...perfect! The two leads.... our dude and the dude that plays his dad in 1995... are SOOO GOOD! And the girls are amazing also. And it's fun to see how different Korean sign language is from American sign language. Who knew I would recognize this fact? Anyway, I loved loved loved this one. (This one is on Viki)
A Good Day to be a Dog: This is an adorable drama about a girl who is cursed to be a dog if she gets kissed, and the curse is only broken if the same dude kisses her again... when she is a dog. But the dude she ACCIDENTALY kisses.. is scared to death of dogs!! WHAT TO DO? In addition to solving this problem, we also learn the back story of why she is cursed, which is a heartbreaking story. Cha Eunwoo (of Astro) is fabulous in this drama. Talk about swoony.... (this one is on Viki)
Peak Time: This was a fantastic band competition show between idol groups that are maybe struggling, or are brand new... or are has-beens... and they are all pitted against each other to win the prize! But at the same time, they all bond and are cheering for each other. And the performances are amazing and you just want them all to win. It's so good! You can watch this one on Viki.
You should keep reviewing them on your blog. I know you're doing a lot with your vlog now so I get if you'd rather put time and energy into that. I hadn't realized you watched as many Kdramas as you did. That's cool. I'm glad you enjoyed these.
