Pls use this post as an opportunity to talk about whatever other k-drama you're watching right now or looking forward to being released.

I'm currently watching My I.D. is Gangnam Beauty and I think next up on my list will be Celebrity.

Also also, I'm SO close to biting the bullet and signing up for a Viki subscription. lol There are a lot of k-dramas on there that are on my To Watch list. Any Viki subscribers here able to tell me if it is worth it?

[ty]

I have subbed to Viki.com for many years. I pay the top tier of $99.00 per year for all access (that was my December renewal price, not sure what annual is now). Now that I am switching to more countries, there is so fucking much there.

They also have the $5.99 month with less content, but still a LOT.

[fauxkaren]

Maybe my strategy will be to get the cheaper plan for a year or so and burn through the dramas available on the cheaper plan and then upgrade later?

[ty]

Yes and you can upgrade and downgrade during the term.

I just started King the Land. Not sure how I feel about it quite yet.

I just don't know that anything will top CLOY for me lol
I finished "Once Upon a Small Town" not long ago and I thought it was pretty cute! I don't see it mentioned much.

Oooh, I just added that one to my watch list. If you use mydramalist for tracking your dramas and finding community, you can add me

omg I don’t follow anyone so lemme follow u!

[misoras]

I’m… unsure. There’s something about Jo Boah that I don’t enjoy and i’ve not watched Rowoon in anything.

I’m loving Moving a lot a lot.

[fauxkaren]

I've heard so many good things about Moving. I believe it's on Disney+ in a lot of places but I think it's on Hulu in the US and I don't have Hulu. :(

[ty]

I felt that way about Jo Bo Ah at first, but she won me over with King of the Nine Tailed. I think this one that looks to be a crossover sageuk and modern might give her more range. And Rowoon is WORTH IT.

[maiden0froses]

Haven't seen a lot with Rowoon but I found him quite charming and charismatic in an otherwise boring drama like The King's Affection. As someone before said it, he's worth it

[violet_crumble9]

it looks interesting. i want her to be a witch. it's nice to see jo bo-ah in stuff again. but im so behind on my kdramas!

was heartbeat, king the land and see you in my 19th life good? i think it's funny 2 2pm guys were in stuff at the same time. from what i saw, it seemed like king the land was most popular?

[fauxkaren]

Haven't seen Heartbeat.

Watched half an episode of King the Land but idk it didn't grab me. I hheard it takes a few episodes to really get going though,

Watched See You in My 19th Life and thought it was cute but didn't quite live up to its potential.

[ty]

Heartbeat - not seen

King of the Land - Junho is worth watching, but the chemistry with him and Yoona was off for me. But it is a typical KDrama, so no harm

See you in my 19th Life - I actually ended up liking it more than KTL. It had a better ending. The leads worked for me too.

[primrosettes]

I liked the leads of Heartbeat. I am interested to see who Won Ji A plays in the Squid Game sequel. I was a fan up until the last episode because the ending was...a choice lol The writing was a bit of a mess, but nothing too awful. They would have benefited from a good script doctor. If you're in it for the vampires, you'll be disappointed.

King the Land was cute. Both lead characters had good communication skills, which for some reason drama watchers aren't a fan of 🙃

[ty]

Currently watching (Kdrama unless otherwise noted)
Bed Friend - Thai BL, just one first ep Viki
My Lovely Liar - Viki
My Dearest - Viki

Also, I do not work for Viki, I swear - they have a ton of free content.

loved bed friend! and they're filming the spin-off atm. it was actually supposed to be first but the actors changed and bed friend went first. i wonder how much theyll have to change it bc iirc it was a plot progression, not just two interconnected yet standalone stories.
