@Tofu

His costume/ head piece reminds me of the elves in Lord of the Rings! I can't fit anymore dramas coz by May I'll have 8 to 9 dramas 🤯 🥲

 

Eita - think after he got married and had kids I havent seen much of him. At least the stills showed he has nice, neat hair and most importantly, no facial hairs.

Wow! 8 or 9?! What dramas are you watching? 

 

Are you sure you don't want to watch The Long Ballad? Ashile Sun is cute though. 

 

Ahh, that makes sense for Eita! Because he didn't have any projects for a while, I learned from @SilverMoonTea that the heart moves on.

From what I can recall, it was to do with no broadcasting stations wanting to air the kdrama. I don't know why though. It was just weird, like I remember anticipating it a few years back and then articles came about saying the drama was done but no one wanted to air it.....so it was like a waste. BUT, it is now just 9 days awayyyyyyyyyy

I see and you are right. It isn't available on any TV channel but online stream sites - Naver TV, Viki and iQiyi. Glad it isn't going to waste.

 

I think I've to add one more drama to at least check out now...I'm a busy 🐝

@TRaNz

Let me know how this goes! Look @Tofu& @stroppyse, McD is launching BTS meal! Does US have it too?

I'm more interested what the packaging will look like (i.e. expecting BTS faces all over it). Would be nice if it has collectibles like the Happy Meal.

The news said it's just this: the BTS meal will feature 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, large World Famous Fries, large soft drink and Sweet chilli and also Cajun dipping sauces inspired by popular recipes from McDonald’s South Korea.

 

So yeah totally nothing special so it has to be the packaging design that will draw ARMY to buy it.

I will exempted @Dhakraout from my drama selling. Too difficult ahaha... I think I will continue sell to @Chocolate, eventhough she's now suspicious on single of my choice ahahaha....

 

It's not that hard, come on. Three simple steps. 

 

• Step One.  Take your drama, compare it to mentioned list above and make sure to check regularly, since it's always up to date.
• Step Two. It's not only about what the drama doesn't need to have, it's also what the drama needs to have to be interesting to me. That's a list on it's own. I can you provide with this one aswell of course. But for starters, the basic is more or less an (un)likeable female second lead (which I ofc will like to death, haters always gonna hate the real treasures). There is ofc more.
• Step Three.  A little bit of neck on the line. What does that mean you ask? I am a man of time, I always try to be effective and make the most of my time, that's a german thing I guess, if I would blindly watch every drama that gets thrown at me, I would have wasted HOURS, DAYS or even WEEKS of my life. So I trust people who I know their opinion on dramas is realiable. Or to put it simple, you gotta have to earn it noona. If you recommend me something, I have to know if you are willing to put your neck on the line for it, which means, I give it a shot, if I like it, good for you , I will pay your recommendations more attention in the future. Buuut if I don't like it........
  You think @abs-oluteMbuilt her status over night? Do you know how often she had to put her neck on the line for dramas she recommended to me? Hell, I'm sure she suffers from neck stiffness to this day.

10 hours ago, Chocolate said:

Btw, what does "Finished dramas" mean @Dhakra?

 

Dramas that finished airing. I like ongoing dramas a lot more than dramas that are already finished. I rarely binge-watch stuff. 

Simple rule, the older the drama is, the less I want to watch it. 

 

Hey even Barney Stinson once said "New is always better"-

@Chocolate IKR. Consider I had already fell asleep but seem like I knew @Dhakra responded and checked JH to find this long list. Read through it all thoroughly too. Indeed, Navillera fits the bill. However, seeing how he doesn't respond anymore means it's still a no deal. LOL. Hey, at least reward me with great effort (and waking up at 2:30am) by trying an episode or 2.  Anyway, at least I tried. Hahaha. XD

 

I think "finished drama" means it's no longer on air. Luckily he didn't say "No PPL" - hahahahahahahaha!

 

Uh, so we had a connection yesterday and you felt like I responded. Good stuff. 

Hey, I was sleeping!  That doesn't mean anything! It was around midnight here aswell in Europe. 

 

But okay, I give you this. If I don't like Taxi Driver, I give Navillera a shot.....if you put your neck on the line.

@mademoiselle@TRaNzSo I married anti fans I think is cdrama adopted to kdrama. 

Today I was tempted by KFC again, but I managed to choose healthier choice which is steak lols... 

[mademoiselle]

See. I knew I had been summoned (was before).

@SilverMoonTea It's ok, I helped you recruit @Chocolate already. Hahaha.

"So I Married An Anti-Fans" is originally a Korean manhwa. There's a Chinese movie starring EXO's Chanyeol. Didn't watch that. 

Ohhh steak. Definitely much more yummo than KFC!

 

@Dhakra Hahaha ok. If you ever pick up Navillera, I'll put my neck on the line. I wouldn't recommend dramas unless I'm confident it is good (same concept of me agreeing to a bet). Most importantly, with you revealing you've checked out Manhole means I've got good eye for my recommended drama(s) xDDDD 

I shall nag no more because I've done my part and the rest is up to you ~  

Too bad your list has "Monster" because Sweet Home is another super awesome drama. It isn't a drama just about monster and actions with no substance like those typical Hollywood/commercial movies. This one has a story and characters with layers. Of course it has a fair few actresses for you to admire too and I have my Oppa deul. Everyone is taken care of. Now I just need them to announce Season 2. My popcorn is ready any time!

• Idols
• Ghosts
• Monsters
• Fantasy
• Aliens
• Manholes
• Some sort of inhuman special power
• Body switching
• Being young again in any way, no suddenly he/she is 20 again
• Same goes for old
• Daily dramas
• Dramas that run over an hour per episode
• Finished dramas. 
• Dramas that only focus in love stories
• RomCom in general, there are some exceptions, but if your main focus is love, my main focus is to avoid the drama. 
• Dramas that try to be fancy
• Cheesy stuff
• Costumes
• Chaebol
• Pretty much any poor girl finds rich asshole stuff and turns him into a good guy
• Drama stereotypes
• Hospital dramas
• Dramas that aren't able to teach me something. 
• OTP already living together/Being married
• too many children in drama

I can kinda relate to this. I can't binge watch either! Live watch is good for sharing opinions and not getting spoilers. But it can increase my likelihood to be v. v. v. addicted to a drama, especially if it has strong elements I like. 

 

I don't think I can watch any of the old old old dramas because the times have changed and everything from production quality to the values (ie. abusive guys that still gets the girl) makes me feel rage-y

Urgh, ghosts. No wee José~ It doesn't necessarily need to have LBY, but I will always have prejudice against actors/dramas I don't know 

 

Yesterday while researching new dramas I read about an upcoming drama that started with the "handsome" main lead "being a 999year old nine-tailed fox" 

I was a bit sad, because the female lead was Hyeri of Girls Day, which was one of my first Kpop crush when I way young(er).

Uhhh, we have some potential neck on the line. Now things get exciting, NOW I am interested. Or to use my Hans Landa impression, Uhhh, now that's a BINGO.  Okay, okay, okay, I give it a shot. I try to squeeze in one or two episodes during the weekend.

If there is neck and it passes the list, I watch the first two episodes.

Yep to both of them. Slice of life dramas or thrillers, crime stuff, action, agents, law, judges. I also like a sweet romance on the sidelines or ship the leads of a thriller/crime drama if it's done well. Queen of Mystery for example.

 

LBY is like a joker card or royal flush. It just wins. LBY could act in a RomCom filled with cheesy monsters, who travel back in time with a manhole to Joseon Dynasty to fight bodyswitching aliens singing fancy poems.

I would watch it. 

 

I loved "The Package", it totally flew under the radar back then. It sometimes struggled a bit with pacing, but it was such a well written drama with beautiful locations, exceptional dialogues and the prettiest, down to earth main lead I can imagine. It had some story flaws, but it asked some very interesting, good questions.  

 

And I will
