Jfc this line got me, because yeah, he kinda is...

Lee Dong-wook and Lee Da-hae as Cha Jae-wan and Ah Mo-ne in HOTEL KING (2014)

ep. 24

[hereforb99]

Cha Jae-wan from Hotel King has to be one of the most traumatized characters I have come across. Man's entire life has been a lie 😂 from not knowing who his parents were, to his own father lying about his identity and being gaslighted and manipulated and beaten every single day...man has gone through A LOT.

On the other hand, Ah Mo-ne is one of the most poorly written female characters 🫠 I fail to understand how she could be so dumb. Girl, what did you learn in the US? She did absolutely nothing to save her father's hotel and blindly kept believing in people who constantly reminded her not to trust them 🙄

WHY HER?

진짜가 나타났다

The real one has appeared

The new KBS weekend drama real has me waiting in a anticipation. As I'm writing this episode 1 is waiting for me. I watched the press release and really enjoyed it. Apart from attesting to my Korean hearing improving,this drama has a ensemble cast. Not just the leads. Veterans ( in my opinion) Kim hye ok, recently stared in the present is beautiful but also oh my baby, home for summer, your honor , my Golden life and the less popular become a meal or be a meal. Cha Hwa Yeon back once again, recently staring in Gentleman and a young lady, my only one , now we are breaking up, run on, once again she is in divorce attorney shin, i might just watch that ( TIME!!!!?).

Kim Chang wan is with us. I'm so exited for the supporting cast. I have high hopes for the next six months

Cha Joo young, recently in The glory ( didn't watch it) but I've seen her in jugglers and wok of love. I will se what she all about.

NOTAS OOC:

Esse é o nosso segundo evento e alguns de vocês talvez até tenham visto ele ser anunciado na promo do rp! Nós sabemos que ele é meio limitado em participação, então criamos a After Party para que todos possam ir - mesmo que não tenham sido convidados à cerimônia.

Os grupos jogáveis citados (CODA e A New Day) são livres para escolherem a música que tocarão na cerimônia.

Para facilitar na interpretação, tomaremos algumas liberdades quanto aos horários das apresentações: A New Day será o primeiro a tocar às 17:30, seguido da IU às 18h, Invader às 18:30, Sweet World às 19h e CODA às 20h para encerrar a cerimônia. Todos eles tocarão até 10minutos de apresentação.

Aproveitamos também para deixar claro que estamos intercalando os grupos conforme o tipo de evento! Então, não se preocupem que, embora nesse tenha sido apenas a CODA e o SAERU a tocarem, já temos vários outros eventos programados para outros grupos.

Consideramos como vencedores das categorias os mesmos do evento real que aconteceu dia 07/05 desse ano.

Embora nem todos os grupos tenham sido citados entre os grupos que farão apresentação, qualquer integrante dos demais grupos que seja Ator ou Atriz poderá participar da cerimônia - e todos poderão participar da after party. 

Lembrando a todos dos dress codes do evento: para a cerimônia de premiação, o dress code é social chique, algo quase próximo de gala, e deve ser seguido por todos os convidados - salvo somente os que se apresentarão. Para a after party, o dress code é livre - afinal, é uma balada.

Um canal do discord está disponível para todos que quiserem interagir e jogar durante a after party do evento.

sorry if this is a hefty question, lol, but can you recommend any good k-dramas? period or otherwise is fine! i've got no preferences for tropes or anything :) as long as it's on netflix uk i'm good.

Oh, this is fun! I write blurbs about shows under the tag kalena watches kdramas and track my kdramas with MyDramaList. I love to rec stuff so I’ve definitely got some good ones for you. All of these should be on Netflix.

Stranger | This murder mystery/political thriller will keep you on your toes as a stoic prosecutor and intrepid detective join forces to discover the truth and find the mole who threatens to undermine everything in the first season. And this is one of the rare kdramas that got a second season, where our leads deal with more murder and government corruption as they test the bounds of their friendship and their own morality to in order to get results. It stars Cho Seung Woo and Bae Doona and their unlikely partnership is everything. Great ensemble cast too! 

Business Proposal | This over-the-top, trope-filled romcom is so much fun! A Chaebol heiress convinces her cash-strapped best friend to pretend to be her for money to ruin a blind date that was set up by her father. But chaos ensues when the blind date turns out to be the president of the company where the cash-strapped woman works. You will never think of Samantha and Rachel the same again. When the glasses come off and the Namsan Tower looms large, prepare to fan yourself. lol And hopefully you will fall in love with our screeching Archaeopteryx too. Stars Ahn Hyo Seop and Kim Se Jeong.

Hometown Cha Cha Cha | A big-city dentist moves to a sleepy seaside town shaking up the locals’ peacefully routines, especially the town’s beloved and handsome handyman. This is a funny and healing drama. Get ready to sooth your prickly hedgehog as our leads sparring sparks all kinds of churning emotions. Besides the main romance, the townspeople all have their own love and hurt to work through as well forming a great found family community. Stars Shin Min Ah and Kim Seon Ho. 

Alchemy of Souls | A period fantasy epic equal parts comedy, action, and drama has been split into two parts. The first part of 20 episodes which just aired covers two-thirds of the story and then second part of 10 episodes coming in December covers the final third. It’s about a skilled assassin who switches bodies to save herself and ends up being reluctantly recruited to train a young master in sword fighting and spells as they slowly become entangled in the conflict that is taking over the kingdom. I am so here for bickering ride-or-die couples and this show does not disappoint. I love the humor, intrigue, romance, and symbolism. The story’s not done yet but I’m fully on board. Stars Lee Jae Wook, Jung So Min, and Go Youn Jung. 

Vincenzo | A Korean attorney for the Italian mafia returns to his native country for a gold heist but ends up getting caught between residents of the plaza where the gold is hidden and the conglomerate who wants to tear down the building. It’s got outrageous comedy, especially from the residents who eventually form a found family who fight for each other. It’s got drama with twists and turns, and torture and murder befitting a show about who’s more evil—the mafia or corporations. It’s got a little bit of romance, ‘art’, and all the slow-mo your heart desires. Save some bird seed for Inzaghi and pour yourself a glass of wine. Stars Song Joong Ki, Jeon Yeo Bin, and Ok Taecyeon.

Navillera | An elderly man decides to fulfill his childhood dream to study ballet. He ends up finding a teacher in a reluctant young ballerino and they form an unlikely friendship. So good. I laughed and cried. Stars Park In Wan and Song Kang.

100 Days My Prince | A Joseon-era Crown Prince loses his memory after an assassination attempt on his life and stumbles into a marriage of convenience with his childhood sweetheart, who doesn’t recognize him as an adult and is in hiding due to her family being murdered and branded traitors. The romance is funny and sweet with the right amount of action and drama to keep the story moving along. Stars Do Kyung Soo, Nam Ji Hyun, and Kim Seon Ho.

Tomorrow | A rag-tag team of grim reapers are tasked with preventing people from committing suicide. They are joined by a human in a coma trying to shorten his time asleep. Rival team leaders Ryeon and Joong Gil have a chemistry and history that will keep you wanting more. It can be dark but it’s also hopeful and funny. Stars Kim Hee Sun, Rowoon, and Lee Soo Hyuk.

Our Beloved Summer | A school’s top student and worst student end up in documentary together and fall in love. 10 years later the producers decide to a film a follow up to see where they are now, awkwardly reuniting the now ex-lovers whose fortunes have reversed with the top student struggling in her job and the worst student having become a respected artist. Sparking conflict but maybe also rekindling their love. Stars Choi Woo Shik and Kim Da Mi.

Sisyphus: The Myth | This was my first kdrama and it really captivated me. I’m a big sci-fi fantasy fan and this show had some interesting time travel concepts I’ve never seen done that way before. I particularly liked episode 11. The ending of this show was very divisive: it was like a Rorschach test because you could see it as open, bittersweet or happy depending on your view. I liked the ending and have my own views on it, but I feel like a need to caution you because I’m in the minority. Stars Cho Seung Woo and Park Hye Shin.

I hope this list a good place to start (or continue) your kdrama journey. Also, if you ever decide to get Viki, here are my top recs for there: Doom At Your Service, The Red Sleeve, Goblin, Happiness, Imitation, Sh**ting Stars, Let Me Be Your Knight, So I Married the Anti-Fan, Hot Stove League, 365: Repeat the Year.

START-UP // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb: 8 Benim puanım: 8

Drama: Start-Up Hangul: 스타트업 Director: Oh Choong-Hwan Writer: Park Hye-Ryun Date: 2020 Language: Korean Country: South Korea Cast: Bae Suzy, Nam Joo-Hyuk, Kim Sun-Ho, Kang Han-Na, Kim Joo-Hun

Farklı mesleklerin konu edildiği dizileri hep seviyorum, bu dizi bize yazılımcıların dünyasına kapı açıyor. Genç girişimlerin yaşadıkları mücadele ve yarışı izlemek oldukça keyifliydi. Hedeflerine ulaşmak için başlarına gelebilecek durumları alternatifli olarak bizlere gösterdiler. Bir izleyici olarak birçok duyguyu bana yaşattılar. Teknolojinin farklı yüzlerini en etkili şekilde gördüm. Aynı zamanda insanı motive eden bir tarafı da vardı.

Seo Dal-Mi(Bae Suzy) ve Seo In-Jae(Kang Han-Na) ortaokul ve lise çağlarında iki kız kardeştir. Anne babalarının aralarındaki anlaşmazlıklar ile diziye giriş yapıyoruz. Yaşanılan aile için dramdan sonra Dal-Mi babası (Kim Joo-Hun) ile In-Jae ise annesi (Song Seon-Mi) ile kalıyor. Babaanne Choi Won-Deok (Kim Hae-Sook) ise bütün o kucak dolusu sevgisi ve şefkati ile hem bizi hem kızları karşılıyor. O nasıl güzel bir büyük anne karakteriydi, resmen aşık oldum. Kendine ayrıca mini bir hikaye yaratan büyükannemiz küçük bir yemek dükkanı işletiyor. Bir gün sokakta tek başına kalmış bir çocuğa yardımcı oluyor. Han Ji-Pyeong (Kim Sun-Ho) adına çok zeki ve çalışkan genç bir çocuk sokakta kalmıştır. Anne babası ve gidecek yeri olmayan bu çocuğa büyükanne kucak açar. Önce yağmurda akşam sokakta kalmaması için dükkanın anahtarını verir. Sonra aralarında tatlı bir arkadaşlık oluşur. Ji-Pyeong dükkanda kalması karşılığında büyük annenin işlerini yapar. Bu sırada anne babası ayrılan Dal-Mi’ye üzülen büyük annenin aklına bir fikir gelir. Torunu çok yalnız kaldığı için ona hayali bir arkadaş verecektir. Ji-Pyeong’dan ona mektup yazmasını ister. Bir şekilde Ji-Pyeong’u ikna edince, o günün gazetesinden Dal-Mi yaşlarında bir çocuğun adını alırlar. Ve büyük anneyle beraber Dal-Mi’ye mektup yazmaya başlarlar. Bir süre sonra mektupları Ji-Pyeong yazmaya devam eder.

Aradan 15 yıl gibi hatırı sayılır bir zaman geçer. Ji-Pyeong SH Girişim Yatırım Firması’nın en iyi takım lideri olmuştur. Boy boy fotoğrafları basılmış, parmakla gösteriliyordur.  Yatırım yaptığı hiç kimsenin başarısız olmaması ile ünlüdür. Dergi kapaklarında isminden bahsedilir, ünlü ve zengin bir adam olmuştur. Annesi ile giden In-Jae, üvey babasının soyadını almış, bolluk içinde büyümüş ve üvey babasının firmasında CEO olarak çalışmaktadır. Dal-Mi ise kendi işini kurabilmek için üniversiteyi yarıda bırakmıştır. O zamandan beri kimse kimseyle görüşmemiştir. Dal-Mi ise hala küçükken yazıştığı mektup arkadaşını aramaktadır. Ve bütün araştırmaları onu gazetenden çaldıkları isme Nam Do-San (Nam Joo-Hyuk) ‘ a çıkartır.

Nam Do-San ise Kim Yong-San (Kim Do-Wan) ve Lee Chul-San (Yoo Su-Bin) ile SAMSAN adında bir bilişim şirketi kurmuştur. 15 yıl önce kazandığı matematik olimpiyatlarından aldığı gazla kurulan bu şirket aslında üç parasız gencin hayal kurmasından öteye gitmemiştir.  Durumları içler acısıdır. Bir şekilde bütün karakterlerin bir araya gelmesi ile hikaye gelişir ve böyle devam eder.

Nam Joo-Hyuk’u “Weightlifting fairy kim book joo” dizisinde eğlenceli ama biraz itici bulmuştum. “Twenty five, Twenty one” dizisinde ise nefret ettim. “The Bride of Habaek” dizisinde biraz ısınır gibi oldum. Ve son olarak bu dizide tekrar normal seyrini yakaladım. Biraz olsun o nefretimi kırmamı sağladı. Yaşına rağmen kızlarla vakit geçirmemiş, nerd olarak büyümüş bir adamın çekingenliğini çok güzel yansıtmıştı. Karakter gelişimi de aynı şekilde güzel anlatılıyordu. Ama ne yazık ki, nefretimi kırmış olmama rağmen dizi boyunca benim favorim kesinlikle 2.adamdı. Resmen izleyiciler olarak ikinci adam Kim Sun-Ho, esas adam olsun diye imza kampanyası başlatacaktık. Kim Sun-Ho’yu Hometown Cha Cha Cha dizisinde ilk kez izlediğimde bu kadar beni yakalayamamış, idare eder bulmuştum. Burada keşke başrol olsaydı. İlk bölümlerden son bölüme kadar Han Ji Pyeong'un büyükanneyle iletişimi efsaneydi. Öyle güzel bir sevgi vardı ki aralarında dizideki en güzel aşk oydu bence. Yanlış ve geç anlaşılmaları bir o kadar dokunaklıydı. Bayıldım, ikisine de bayıldım.

Dizide başarı hikayelerinin o insanı heyecanlandıran kimyası sonuna kadar havasını korudu. İçimiz kıpır kıpır izledik. Hatta 12.bölüme kadar çok güzel bir ivme artışı vardı. Ve son 4 bölüm… Neden diye haykırasım geldi. Koreliler bunu neden yapıyor neden, neden? “Aradan şu kadar zaman geçti” muhabeti neden bitmemiş. Neden bu kadar takılmış durumdalar bu mevzuya. Tekrar hatırlayınca bile yoruldum. Ne kadar gereksiz olduğunu söylememe gerek bile yok.

Toparlayacak olursak, güzel bir başarı hikayesi diyebiliriz. Karakterler son derece doğaldı. Kimsenin hayatında görmediği o para babaları ütopik zenginler gözlerimizi kanatmadı. Güzel mesajları arka planda gizleyip ilham veren bir hikayeydi. Duygusal yönü ağır basmasına rağmen bütün diziyi himayesine almadı. Dizide beni tek rahatsız eden, aslında rahatsız demek doğru değil, mutsuz eden demek lazım, ikinci erkek sendromuydu. Öyle naif bir ikinci erkek izledik ki, gizliden ağır travmatik olduğunu düşünüyorum. Ve o ikinci erkeğe bence yeterli bir son yazılmamıştı. Keşke ikinci erkek ikinci olmasaydı diyerek izlediğimi tekrar söyleyeyim.

Bence şans verilebilir bir diziydi. Dizi müzikleri içinde ufak bir yorum yapayım, kendi adıma müzikler o kadar diziyle uyuşmuştu ki hiç ön plana çıkmıyordu. Sonrasında dinlediğimde ayrı ayrı beğendim ama izlerken sahnenin önüne geçmediği için fark etmedim. Bu hem iyi hem kötü olarak düşünülebilir. Ben başarılı buldum.

Second Lead Couples Are Apparently My Jam Now...

Hey all! I hope you're all doing well and have had a glorious start to the new week!

Recently I have been watching a few dramas and realised that I have found myself becoming more invested in the second lead couples than the main leads. I don't know why this is - I just root for them more! It seems that in recent shows the second leaders slap harder and give off better first lead vibes - has anyone else noticed this? 🤨

As of late I have been watching 'Love Is For Suckers' and oooh let me tell you this is such a great show! And as much as I love the romance between Goo Yeo-Reum and Park Jae-Hoon, I am more invested in the budding side romance of Chef John Jang and Park Ji-Wan. Even though I haven't finished the series yet I can honestly say I think these two are my fave side couple yet! Park Ji-wan in my opinion is the embodiment of walking sunshine, her character is so adorable!

I did however, find myself hating Chef John at the start of the show, I thought his attitude stunk and didn't want him to do well at all - I didn't want his character to find love after the way he treat Yeo-Reum, I was shouting "boo boo to you sir!" every time he appeared on the screen...

But here is why the writing of this show is so good, as the drama progresses and he starts spending more time with Ji-Wan, Chef John starts to undergo a character arc and *gasp* he becomes actually a really nice person! I went from yelling boo at the screen to going 'Aww what a sweet man!' I for one was not predicting this development!

I have two episodes left and I can't wait to see what happens between the two of them! Eeek! I'm way to emotionally invested in this side couple!

Question: What drama second lead couples are you more invested in than the main couples? Other than the one mentioned above my other choice would have to be Jin Young-Seo and Cha Sung Hoon from Business Proposal. What do you think everyone? Which second leaders stole your hearts and from which drama?

Seo Ji-hye, Hong Soo-hyun's success in interfering with each other, 'pale smile'

'Red Balloon' Seo Ji-hye tickled Hong Soo-hyeon and shook Lee Sang-woo.

In the TV Chosun weekend drama 'Red Balloon', which aired on the night of the 15th, Go Ji-won (played by Lee Sang-woo) met Jo Eun-gang (played by Seo Ji-hye).

On this day, the high dimension was concerned about the behavior of the sea of ​​Han, who had been drunk the previous day and called Shin Ki-an. Go Ji-wan, who called Eun-gang Jo to ask the truth about Shin Ki-an and the sea, said, "Tell me honestly. What's the relationship between Mi-poong's mother and Shin Ki-han (played by Choi Seong-jae)?" He defended Hanbada, saying, "You could misunderstand it because of what happened yesterday, but I know those people well. It's definitely not the kind of relationship Mr.

Go-cha-won was confused and said, “I think our couple is in crisis.” “It’s been 7 years since we got married, but I think maybe I didn’t know a person called Hanbada. Every time I see him, I wonder if he's someone I know."

He then asked, "I heard that I couldn't do home shopping because I didn't have the funds, so Shin Ki-ki did it, right?" In the past, Han Bada did not try to reveal what he said to Eun-gang Jo, 'Actually, I borrowed it from my mother-in-law', and said, "I don't know, but I had no choice because of business. You must have received it. You know. The sea is straight. In the past, Shin Ki-an liked the sea, but he drew a line with the sea thoroughly. Or would he have married Ga-won?"

Cho Eun-kang left first and spilled his handkerchief, and Go Ji-won went to pick it up and overheard Cho Eun-gang talking on the phone. Cho Eun-kang shook Go-cha-wan's heart by pretending to be on the phone with lies, saying, "The sea, we even kissed in Sokcho. Then don't pretend to be a friend when you know you like it.
