ONTD Original: Best K-Drama (that I've seen) in Each Genre (that popped into my head)

[fauxkaren]

I wanted to give our shiny new k-drama tag a spin (turn on k-drama tag notifications!), so I'm making an ONTD original about the Best K-Drama in Various Genres. Please enjoy this entirely self-indulgent post

I’ve been meaning to watch hometown cha cha cha for ages will finally get around to it soon

I need to give Life Is Beautiful ANOTHER watch. I love this family drama so much. I've rewatched it so many times already.

I'm way behind on watching anything in general, but I need to get around to finishing The Glory. I love a good revenge story.

I've recently started watching k dramas and I'm hooked. I have 23 shows on my "plan to watch" list 🫣 (...Dr. Romantic S2-3, age of youth, mad for each other, little women, while you were sleeping...) I'll watch king the land and heartbeat once all episodes have dropped.

My top three right now are probably:
Business Proposal
The Uncanny Counter
Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung

Also recommend:
Alchemy of Souls 1 & 2
Hometown cha cha cha
100 Days my prince

I'm on Vincenzo right now and I so am glad I gave it a shot. It'll be top 3 once I'm finished unless it goes off the rails. The summary turned me off a bit, but the whole ensemble cast is amazing. The main antagonist is *chef's kiss* perfection 👹

I will get around to watching The Glory, but I don't want anything heavy rn lol

I really loved Vincenzo but it does go ridiculous in the end.

Vincenzo is a lot of fun! Like sure it's gets wild at times, but I think the show makes it work.

I loved Vincenzo, so much, yeah it's a bit mad by the end. But that's half the fun.

My all time favourite KDrama is Hotel Del Luna. I have recommended that show to so many people. It's just beautiful and consistent all the way through.

I've been putting off Hotel Del Luna because i found the casting of IU off in a way. Was she good? I'm so used to seeing her as the girl next door/little sister.

She was EXCELLENT in this. She is really a great actress

[disarmingdevil]

Good to hear! Generally i really like her, i just wasn't used to seeing her be catty like the clips i've seen. I will give it a shot!
