Korean Drama, K-Drama

KapteynG

May this thread be a peaceful one and full of amazing masterpieces recommendations. Let's talk about one, shall we...? I recently watched this series from Netlix and it made me weep a lot. I'm kind of a softy when it's about family and stuff after all. Who among you has seen it? I'm not particularly fond of the ending, but it's a 4 out of 5 ★ for me. It's a heavy drama-supernatural series and I know you all will agree with me if you try it for yourself. This one, K-Drama, could probably be a sub-forum on its own, but I'll leave that to the admins. Hi Bye Mama Information: Revised romanization: Hi Bye, Mama! Hangul: 하이바이, 마마 Director: Yoo Je-Won Writer: Kwon Hye-Joo Network: tvN Episodes: 16 Release Date: February 22 - April 19, 2020 Language: Korean Country: South Korea Plot Synopsis By AsianWiki: Cha Yu-Ri (Kim Tae-Hee) has been a ghost since she died 5 years ago. She left behind her husband Jo Kang-Hwa and their child. To become a human again, Cha Yu-Ri carries out a reincarnation project for 49 days. Meanwhile, Jo Kang-Hwa (Lee Kyu-Hyung) works as a chest surgeon. He was loving, but, after his wife died, his personality changed. After 5 years, his wife Cha Yu-Ri reappears in front of him.

I've watched a few of these with you, and my personal favourite was "Oh My Ghost".

Aaahh! I have not watched a drama in a while, but out of the netflix ones that I've been meaning to watch are Hi Bye Mama & Itaewon Class. Though of the latter I heard it isn't as good anymore towards the end, still I'll defo watch it~ One I'm waiting for to be put on Netflix is Hospital Playlist! It seems like it's done by the same people as Prison Playbook which I loved, it's dark humor was right up my alley. But, yes I hope for this to be a nice and peaceful thread as well.

I agree, I did mention I wasn't that of a fan of the ending for this Hi Bye Mama. I should probably raise this to be its own subforum. I need more recommendations. > One I'm waiting for to be put on Netflix is Hospital Playlist!

Riiigth~ I still have that Itaewon one to watch, and I've been seeing that Hospital Playlist on Kiss as well. Never got the chance to look at the synopsis tho. I'm watching The World of the Married rn and I could say this one is such a slow-paced drama. Too much suspense and dramatic shots, but when they introduce progress to the plot, it's that quote... "When it rains, it pours."

Can't have a subforum of us both only : > Riiigth~ I still have that Itaewon one to watch, and I've been seeing that Hospital Playlist on Kiss as well.

Ooo I've seen that one come by, mostly hate comments towards the husband (?) not sure what it's exactly about but seems like a very melodramatic series. I'll keep that one in mind as well~

What is the difference between regular drama an K-drama besides that it's in Korean? A honest question.

Good thing I did not suggest it or anything yet. 'cuz seems like Chaud is here anyways. : > Ooo I've seen that one come by, mostly hate comments towards the husband (?) not sure what it's exactly about but seems like a very melodramatic series. I'll keep that one in mind as well~ Just to make your confusion end, it's a drama about infidelity and adultery. Go figure why they hate the husband. : > What is the difference between regular drama an K-drama besides that it's in Korean? A honest question. Probably none, yeah. I'll probably suggest a tag instead of a subforum to maybe identify Japanese, Korean, and English ones instead when making a thread about worth mentioning and talking about series.Or maybe not anymore and just leave things be since there might only be me and Fathia who go gaga over K-dramas :

> What is the difference between regular drama an K-drama besides that it's in Korean? A honest question. Well as it is Korean, the tropes, the way it's shot and just the culture difference in general changes as well. Which makes it different from the "usual english" dramas. Just like people like watching telenovelas, Turkish dramas, Bollywood as well~ They each have their own appeal points I guess. > Just to make your confusion end, it's a drama about infidelity and adultery. Go figure why they hate the husband. : Aha, as I had guessed lmao. I'll hopefully get to watching it soon :

KapteynG

> Aha, as I had guessed lmao. I'll hopefully get to watching it soon : Ohohohoho... I did mention it was a bit slow in progress tho. Watch at your own risk. You've been warned. :

People were going crazy over it haha. I actually have a lot of recs as well but weeew, wanna make it into a nice post once I do :

I was kinda absent here in the forum for about a day as I was finishing Hotel del Luna. This drama has an interesting story, great music, and amazing cast. I cried at ep 16. :

I cried at ep 16. : Yet another one on my never ending plan to watch list. I wanted to watch it once it came out in full instead of weekly, however... exams came around : and I just never bounced back to it T_T Even my sis has been pushing me to watch it and I do know it's good! Tho I feel like it might be overhyped by the community in general so I don't wanna have too high expectations

Double post sadly! but! Still thought I'd say this here, I watched the first ep of Hi, Bye mama yesterday and I like the way it started. I thought i'd stop myself after 1 ep to fix my sleep schedule before my test tomorrow haha. Also, I have difficulties taking the actor of the father seriously lmao, he previously played as a drug addict showing relapse syndromes and being heeeellla high all the time it seemed like. Eitherway! It's off to a good start and I hope to watch it all soon
