Mel<p>Spotify is serving me random music while working, and suddenly I feel majorly depressed; oh, it is Jeff Buckley.. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Lost" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Lost</span></a> The <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Kdrama</span></a> where even a haircut is a character (free from <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.ca/@EllenInEdmonton" class="u-url mention">@<span>EllenInEdmonton</span></a></span> &#39;s comment that in <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/mymister" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mymister</span></a> even the rail road crossing was a character)</p>
Shaula Evans<p>I watched the pilot of Kdrama Heavenly Ever After on Netflix. I am absolutely enchanted.</p><p>It presents an unconventional and underrepresented protagonist who is well developed and well written. The characters and the story make fresh, non-cliched choices. The quality of the writing is stellar.</p><p>If you like high-quality, light, quirky dramas, check it out. Go in cold, don&#39;t read the blurb or watch the trailer. YMMV but I adore it &amp; I don&#39;t say that lightly.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/HeavenlyEverAfter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HeavenlyEverAfter</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Kdrama</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Netflix" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Netflix</span></a></p>

It was funny and the acting was excellent, nevertheless I am totally condemning the creepy 2nd male lead character.</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdrama</span></a></p>
Joakim Fors<p>Drama Recs Challenge</p><p>Day 6: An Office Romance</p><p>There are hundreds of these ones so I just got to pick one: Love Scout - Perhaps nothing genre breaking but I like the tension and chemistry and there are a lot of cute moments.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/LoveScout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoveScout</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdrama</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/DramaRecsChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DramaRecsChallenge</span></a></p>

I had a little trouble following who was who. It started off rather hopeful, but was definitely darker than I expected. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a></p>
Ronsboy67<p>Drama Recs Challenge Day 6</p><p>Recently I've been thinking a lot about rewatching this OLD <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TWDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TWDrama</span></a> because of Ko Chia Yen's recent roles. She's come a LONG way since this one, but for <a href="https://mas.to/tags/DramaRecsChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DramaRecsChallenge</span></a> Day 6 it wins over its <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a> competition, in no small part thanks to its title😀 The main romance is more Candy/Cinderella style, but there is a secondary romance that is definitely "office romance"</p>
s1m0n4<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.green/@joakimfors" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>joakimfors</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://zirk.us/@mel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mel</span></a></span> You're missing out if you don't watch both of them. The ending in 25 21 was perfect imho. It's suitable for grown-ups and not for those looking for the fairy tale.</p><p>As for Reply 1988 the ending is controversial for many, but it remains a Korean cult <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdrama</span></a><br>The insights on Korean culture, traditions and history on that particular economic period are unmatched. Also it's one of the funniest k-drama I watched.</p>

And it's also 20 episodes long 😄.</p><p>And I was extremely disappointed by her choice 😭</p>

commonst<p>Wow. That ending is not what I expected.</p><p>My partner almost quit a couple eps in because he thought it was just another police story that was going to follow a usual pattern.</p><p>Nope.
