Kdrama general, enemies to lovers editionNo previous thread since it got taken over by cdrama posters
SUNJAEYAH
>>203953393Koreans can't act lol
>>203953393What are we watching today unnies?
>>203953393Squid Game people
>>203953571Deaths game
>then gets slap by own father
>>203953571Nothing Halmeoni
>>203953393The Frog is just misery porn with frustratingly-written characters, truly reflective of this ragebait engagement era. The emphasis on the flashback events in the first half would make more sense if the woman captain had a bigger role to play in the story, but she ended up being mostly a spectator outside of the climax. There's no excuse for the writing to be this bad on non-liveshoot productions.
>>203954176I skipped all the flashbacks desu. They were boring
>>203954070unnie who is this and what drama?
>>203955018
>>203955101Those shorts are sexo
>>203955018I think it is go min si in sweet home
>>203955018Sweet home Halmeoni
>>203955351What's that word mean
>>203954176At first, I thought that the motel owner and the rental home owner were the same man, which would've explained some of the rental home owner's behavior. But no, the 2 storylines were largely disconnected from each other. I think that was a huge mistake on the writer's part. There needed to be something more tethering them together. As is, the motel storyline just felt like a waste of time.Real shame the writing couldn't keep up with the acting and the visuals, made for a very shallow, disappointing experience.
>>203955438>At first, I thought that the motel owner and the rental home owner were the same manI would totally buy it too. And it's funny how they used the same actors for the owner and his best friend but a completely different one for the woman captain lmao. Strange choice for a girlboss show
>>203953393>no cdrama posting>kdg thread sinksAdmit it you need us Cdrama Chads
>>203955424Look it up yourself Halmeoni
>>203955625Why are you calling me grandmother?
>>203955605No one even watches cdramas unironically
>>203954176Yeah i dropped it pretty quickly when i realized it was just going to keep going down the same path and i assume that just like all kdramas the writing just goes downhill fast after the first 2-4 episodes. Koreans do love their misery porn but this one just doesn't make any sense even by kdrama standards. God damn everyone involved is braindead
>>203955605Feel free to start one yourself anytime
>>203954176>but she ended up being mostly a spectator outside of the climax.But Denis Villeneuve invented it. Its KINO trope
>>203955656Sorry anon I thought you were one.
>>203955883You'd have an argument if the story was told through the Frog captain's POV and she had anywhere near as much screentime as Emily Blunt did on Sicario. Just being a spectator in common does not make them the same character at all
>>203953393Whats this? I think I watched same scene like 5 years ago
>>203953393Later on she starts ordering him around while calling him Slave. Very hot.>no Korean beauty to call you Slave and order you to cum inside her>>203956081Are You Human Too?
>>203956191>Are You Human Too?yeah thats right, stupid show about android
>>203956233Android shows can be great. I Am Not A Robot was good too, and had another couple with great chemistry.
I'm still stuck on episode 3 of the frog
>>203956753watch it for her
gonna finish gyeongsong creature s2 and watch the new weekend drama followed by judge from hell. Comfy weekend.
>>203956929I dropped gyeonsong creatures as soon as anon mentioned the multiple amnesia stories. Very shit writing trope.
Last thread a few of anons posted a bunch of cute chinese girls and made me want to watch some more cdrama.I would really prefer to watch something good though. Any reccs?Loved My Journey To You and Yuxiao Lu. Didn't really like The Double. It became straight up cringe. Hidden Love was a drag. Didn't watch anything else.
>>203957362Reset is the only kdg-approved cdrama.
>>203957362What exactly are you looking for? More action-oriented / wuxia like MJTY or you just want to see pretty girls and don't care about what type of show it is?
>>203957362What you need exacly..rank these >cute girls>beautiful girls>very good plot>big budget>good cgi>a lot female characters(harem etc)People love Double because of aesthetic, costumes, ML actor and FL actress are very popular.She played FL Wei Ying Luo in Yanxi Palace wihch is cult show.I like her voice so watched it because of her, but dropped after 12 episodes, it was cringe for me too
>>203957897I never thought I'd like a show like Yanxi Palace but damn, visual stunning and those women were brutal. Would recommend.
>>203957362also Hidden Love was abbadoned by producer and budget was x10 loweredit was filmed literally on FL money and enthusiasmshe invited her friends, asked them bring own clothes for roles, sang OSTSo its not AAA project at all. FL is genius but you should check other her roles: LLTG or WRTW
>>203958064yeah Yanxi is great, I didn't think I'd like the harem show but
>>203957362Yeah, Hidden Love was praised by the fans of the actress. Not so much by other people. Good for her though, like >>203958086 said, it turned into a passion project for her and it worked (financially and with audiences).If you're after fluffy romance shows like it then try Love O2O or Love Me, Love My Voice. If you want an excellent slow-burn romance try Lighter & Princess.
>>203954176>The Frog>its actually the name of a show and not a cute moniker for the actress All this time I never knew... I swear Im getting stupider from watching all this K-slop. AIIIIIIIIII SHIIIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAl
>>203958155You don't have to worry about that anymore. The censors have banned any new harem series. Something about they don't want to depict women fighting each other all the time.
>>203958457It's both. She's our frog.
>>203958843>Frog gets mogged by AirBnB's daughterShe needed more screentime desu
>>203959405frog has a psycho mommy energy to her which i liked
>>203959450I just started to hate Froggy's character in the end once her whole motivation was boiled down to daddy issues
>>203957362check Snow Sword Stride thenhttps://streamable.com/7h9uy2E01 is very cringy just dive into it, everything will be explained
>>203959544Go Min-si's performance really hard carried the character. Writing-wise she's not a very interesting villain at all
>>203959662Yeah, her acting got really good
>>203959662Agreed. We need a battle of the bitches show with her and pic related
>>203958655they still do it
>>203960081Not the same thing, and you know it.
>>203959405roh yoon seo is a top qt
>>203960348haha but no
>>203960348yep.
>>203959405Insanely hot monkey and frog
>>203957669Dont mind wuxia if done correctly. I hated how The Double had a serious drama, political intrigue and romance which were decent, but then when there was fighting scene, MC swung his fan and knocked out multiple dudes without touching them. No superpowers or anything such was introduced prior. This and previous cringe tournament made me drop it.>>203957897To me it would be:>cute girls>very good plot>beautiful girls--->gap>big budget-->gap>good cgi-->gap>a lot female characters(harem etc)So basically hot FMC and good plot is priority. Already got good reccs, but if you have anything I'll check it out.>>203958300>>203958086>also Hidden Love was abbadoned by producer and budget was x10 loweredit was filmed literally on FL money and enthusiasmThats interesting.I didnt hate the actress, it was just too much of a drag.Will check these and >>203957666 >>203959589 out, thanks.
Is Squid Game a kdrama?
>>203960729>Thats interesting.Actually almost the same story was with FL of My Journey to YouShe is a daughter of billionare and he invested in her prev. work Love Between Fairy and Devil which became huge success.Also I read that she also invested in My Journey To You too.
>>203954176I liked it. Also I could have saved her
>>203960933yes
>>203960729Up there with Reset are Nirvana in Fire, Joy of Life, and Story of Yanxi Palace - the first two certainly have wuxia action scenes. They are in my top 5 along with Story of Ming Lang, I'm just not inclined to recommend that to a cdrama newbie.
Kdg husband
>>203961903That's a funny pic of Jang Hyuk from Family: The Unbreakable Bond
>>203962106I really like his voice. Something about the way he talks...
>>203953571episode 13 of Flower of Evil. the show seems boring after it was revealed that the husband was innocent. is it worth finishing?
>>203962656Their relationship is based though. Why aren't there more tv shows about rideordie wives?
>>203957362>>203960729>mfw I realize I have watched everything worth watching and have begun contemplating watching chink romance slop to get my fix for noveltySomething gotta change. I cant keep living like this..
>>203962330He's a great comedic actor with loads of personality. The only thing I've seen him miscast in was in Tell Me What You Saw, he doesn't really work as an edgy character with minimal humor. Then again it's one of the more retarded K-thrillers out there
>>203953393>>203956191I haven't been able to get a proper enemies to lovers fix since I finished Whisper months ago. I'll try this drama.
>>203963098i guess. but now the show feels predicable and like less of a thriller. like nothing is really at stake any more.
Watched Judge from Hell e01, 6/10 so far.
>>203953440i beg to differ.Never seen a more heart-wrenching scene than this one in SkyCastle.
>>203963997oops, for got picthis sceneamazing
How whould you reate Zhao Lusi acting skills?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFK4xhZ_0DA
why are unnies obsessed with the frog?
>>203957362My Heroic Husband
>>203964892At what point do the couple kiss?
>>203965101Pretty early.
>>203965144I'm 11 episodes in and they still haven't.
>>203957362Just some random ones I remember:You Are My GloryThe Long BalladEternal Love and its sequelStory of Kunning PalaceThe King’s AvatarNirvana in FireWho Rules the WorldJoy of LifeIn a Class of Her OwnHidden LoveThe Story of Ming Lan (brace yourself for the longest drama you'll ever watch)And since you gotta see at least one Condor Heroes, I liked the one with Li Yi Tong from 2017.
are you guys yellow fever fags or asians
>>203957362>Hidden Love was a drag.Hidden Love is the most based and wholesome and sweetest love story every filmed
>>203965348I remember it happening before their honeymoon trip, it should be soon?
>>203965471OK thanks
>>203964791because of pepe
>>203957897>Doublestrong and loyal Tong' er stole my heart84khr
>>203965656She's pretty great, considering her age. Really good job.
>>203964458> Zhao LusiThis is probably the only time I recognize a chinese actors name. I remember watching her tiktok where she looked super pretty. Seems she is mid as hell in reality
>watch Mouse>figure out that Bareum is the headhunter's son and is the killer and not Yohan around episode 2>they don't reveal this until episode 14I felt vindicated, but I was also seething.Also not a fan of how much time was spent showing flashbacks in the final five episodes, to explain things, when I already knew 90% of it through inference.The biggest complaint I have was how little screentime they gave Yohan, as I liked him a lot and it was a major factor to tip off the viewer that something was up.The final episode lacked any moment that made me go "wow!" I will say that I disliked almost all of the female characters except granny and auntie. Overall I thought it was a good show, but the first five or so episodes were way better than the rest of it.Anyways, is there a crime kdrama that is in the perspective of the bad guy, like Death Note?
i am thinking of binge watching gyeongseong creature s1 and s2 specifically for han sohee. Worth it or no?
>>203965734she's very cute in hidden lovegreat character: ultimate wife material - I already felt that way but the graveyard scene cinched it for me.just everything you want in a wife.
>>203965821If you watch it for her, sure. Otherwise, not really. Especially considering S2.
>>203965766you're literally too smart for mystery shows
>>203965766We don't discuss Mouse here. One anon gets mad whenever we do or whenever it's recommended.
Should I go see I, The Executioner in theatres?
>>203966118Oh, shit resolution. My bad. Here's a different poster.
>>203965447you can be both, you know
>this guy shows up in your dramawhat do you expect?
>>203965995I'm fine with guessing plot twists early on, but I would like to be surprised from time to time. This show had none, but it was still nice to see characters react to revelations. The story swerving away from "good guys chasing bad guys" and veering into "righting wrongs and trying to atone" kind of bored me.
>>203966378o dang. is that Oh Yoon, the famous singer?
>>203966487it is! buy a cd now.
>>203965821yea. peak Sohee. s2 is like My Mister and Nevertheless rolled into one
>>203966525if you like Mr. Village chief, he is in this too
>>203966673Thanks brohyung, I'll add it to my list.
>>203966038I just ignore posts I don't agree with.
>"Hyung, do you trust me to sit together in your car with the love of your life?"wat do? you are the ML
>>203966975No.
>>203957362ngl most chinese slop are pretty bad but I don't mind watching some Jin Yong remake slop every once in a while
>>203967066well, congratulations, you are smarter than the ML. waifu status: protected
how many men has she kissed!
Han So Hee is a homewrecker
>>203967363isnt it sexist to blame the woman instead of the man?
I like kdrama because the female characters are usually barefoot at home
>>203967429It's incel logic, I recommend not wasting your time thinking too deeply about it.
>>203967889lol. im an incel too ._.i just dont understand how people blame Sohee when its the dude who was in a relationship with another woman for years.
>>203968058It's both their fault.
>>203968058Most people are stupid.
>>203968107it's more his fault because he cheated. plus the man is the pursuer, so he double messed up. honestly this is a classic case of blaming the girl when it's the man's fault for cheating.
>>203968153He messed up more but she was still being a ho and a homewrecker.
>>203968248Were you there? Did you see all this happen? You're acting like everything you are saying is true, and gossiping like your a 12yr old girl. Also frankly it makes not one iota of a different to me when watching a show.
>>203968248like honestly... like... she was too nice to him. look at all the bad press he brought on her cus she gave his pepe a pity grab cus he was so desperate.wow.
>>203966118>>203966235Sure, why not. This guy always gives a kino performance in everything he's in.
>tfw spicing up kdg without my name tag and anons still havent suspected
>>203966975Oh hey is that the spoiled rich kid from Gaus Electronics?
>>203968462oh is he in that? pic is from S2 Gyeongseong creature. he cute with his fake heterochromia

>>203967311WRONG. they kissed her, men are the aggressors. so zero, Sohee has kissed a total of zero men.
>>203968580mkvdramavikinetflix
>>203966975>"No, dongsaeng. In fact, we are all gonna ride together in the same car and Sohee is gonna watch from the backseat. I brought the rubbers and lube."

god damn she shot herself
>>203968817she showed her ass in mask girl
>>203969120most of them. i thirst hard for top tier kgfs like everyone else too, but living in the West has humbled me. those dudes in east asia are spoiled to be surrounded by hunnies 24/7 and can nitpick.
>>203969260and a glorious body it is. it set me off and i got giga vacationed
>>203969112she can't consent

>>203968943>NaNa is a straight sex symbolSo was Kim Hye-Soo in her prime. She already started looking like a ghoul in Signal in 2016 before she turned 50
>>203969568unfair! she came and talked to -me-.
>>203969568no way, Jun Ho showed he was a real one, and they already addressed the predatory criticism when Attorney Woo had to defend this guy.
>>203969629not fucking bad. her at 54. you just proved me right or im a complete degen
>>203969120Cute and gooky
tfw i probably made kdg hungry talking about my 15-20 lb NY style pizza.you know whats really attractive that people dont talk about? kgf voices and personalities and the way kgf eyes light up
>>203969719You always look at red carpet or press junket sets so you know it's close to the real deal.
>>203969859definitely looking rougher here. still, some time in the sauna, rest and relaxation will smooth that up
>>203969706>predatory criticism is a term nowlol i like it.
>>203969859She was still hot in Juvenile Justine
at 52 / from 2022. definitely bogged, but overall not heckin' bad. aging gracefully is just not getting fat.
While academic work analyzing South Korean media, particularly K-dramas, from a distinctly Marxist or dialectical materialist perspective is relatively rare, there are a few avenues you could explore. Scholarship on Korean media tends to focus more on liberal or feminist critiques, but a leftist or communist analysis would focus on how K-dramas reflect or reproduce class dynamics, social inequality, and the contradictions of capitalism. Below are some academic and otherwise critical works that engage with South Korean media and culture, which might align with or inform a more Marxist reading:### 1. **"South Korean Screen Culture: From Big Screen to Small" by Andrew David Jackson, Colette Balmain, and Hye Seung Chung (Editors)** - This book includes a series of essays that explore South Korean media, including film and television, from a cultural studies perspective. Some essays touch upon the representation of class, inequality, and labor, which can be read through a Marxist lens. It's not strictly Marxist but can provide a critical foundation for further dialectical materialist analysis.### 2. **"Globalization and the Dialectics of National Identity in South Korean Cinema" by Kyung Hyun Kim** - While not specifically about K-dramas, Kim’s work on South Korean cinema offers an analysis of national identity, globalization, and neoliberalism. A Marxist reading of his work could focus on how global capitalist forces shape and constrain South Korean media production and its reflection of class struggles.### 3. **"Rediscovering Korean Cinema" by Sangjoon Lee (Editor)** - This collection of essays on Korean cinema delves into the historical and political context of filmmaking in South Korea. Some of the contributors discuss the representation of social class, labor, and capitalism in South Korean films, which could provide a framework for analyzing similar themes in K-dramas.
>>203970113### 4. **"Realism and Class: The South Korean Cinematic Tradition" by Hye Seung Chung** - This work engages with realism and class representation in South Korean cinema. It critiques how social realism reflects the material conditions of working-class life in South Korea. A similar approach could be applied to the analysis of K-dramas, especially those that deal with class struggles.### 5. **"The Korean Wave: Evolution, Fandom, and Transnationality" by Yasue Kuwahara (Editor)** - This book provides a broad overview of the Korean Wave (Hallyu), including K-dramas, and its global spread. Some essays discuss issues of labor, cultural imperialism, and capitalism within the context of global media flows, which would align with a Marxist critique of South Korea’s media production as embedded in global capitalism.### 6. **"Class Struggle in South Korea: K-dramas as a Reflection of Neoliberal Society"** (Article or Unpublished Thesis) - You may need to look for articles, theses, or dissertations that specifically address class struggle in K-dramas. These might be harder to find but could be available through university repositories or databases like ProQuest. A thesis that focuses on how K-dramas reflect class inequality and labor struggles in a neoliberal South Korean context would offer fertile ground for a Marxist analysis.### 7. **"The Birth of Korean Cool" by Euny Hong** - This book provides a more pop-culture-driven analysis but discusses how South Korea's media industries have developed under neoliberal economic policies. While not a Marxist analysis, it offers insights into how the media industry, including K-dramas, is tied to state-driven capitalism and global markets, which could be critiqued from a leftist perspective.
>>203970113where did you copy and paste this from? ion reading all dat
>>203970140chatgptthought some chingus might find it interesting ### 8. **Leftist Korean Blogs and Critiques** - **Workers’ Solidarity** or **All Together (다함께)**: These leftist and Marxist groups in South Korea often publish analyses of South Korean society from a working-class perspective. While they don't focus on K-dramas per se, their critiques of South Korean capitalism and media could offer context or jumping-off points for a deeper Marxist reading of K-dramas. - **Red Pen (레드펜)**: This is another Korean leftist outlet that sometimes touches on cultural critiques, and though it primarily focuses on labor issues, you may find relevant discussions of how media, including dramas, perpetuates capitalist ideology.### 9. **Critical Reception of Dramas like "Squid Game" or "Parasite"** - The international acclaim for shows like *Squid Game* has sparked more explicit Marxist and leftist critiques in both academic and journalistic work. Articles and essays examining *Squid Game* through a Marxist lens can easily be applied to K-dramas, as they address class struggle, alienation, and exploitation under capitalism. - **Marxist critiques of *Parasite***, while primarily focusing on film, could serve as a framework for a leftist critique of similar themes in K-dramas, particularly those that tackle social mobility, wealth inequality, and precarious labor.
>>203970139literal word salad, buzzword slop.
>>203970166buzzword & wordsalad slop. how to write a bunch of words that means exactly nothing.
>4chan>korean drama general >tankies and incels checks out
>>203969882Let's just hope that Nana keeps being blessed by Dr. Kim as she gets older.>>203969995She looked okay for her age in that one. In Queen's Umbrella the botox face was so out of place just like Honey Lee's in Knight Flower
>>203970113>>203970139>>203970166you know what this bullshit is? its an attempt to open a door. meaningless buzzwords but meant to be taken seriously, which is the fallacy because it's bullshit to begin with. it's meant to create debt to a foreigner.
>>203970307i have to watch that next.
>>203970251im an involcel
>>203969987yeah, the episode is about a normal dude dating an autistic girl which mirrors Woo and Jun Ho. They are two sides of the same coin since while the guy in the relationship turns out to be a scam artist but promises his relationship with the autistic girl is genuine, you have Jun Ho on the other side who it reveals is actually genuine and honest.
>>203970307It's not as bad as I Can Hear Your Voice noona in her new drama
>>203970310you work for the NIS or something? the korean peoples will be reunited and they will throw off the yoke of american imperialism

hello kpg friends im watching gyeonseong creature s2
>>203970307why dont i just marry NaNa and she will never worry about needing dr kim again
>>203970425gotta first convince korea and japan to stop acting like satellite states and join china
>>203970529>muzzy caliphate gets ACKED this week>Western war machine decides to focus on SKlisten. they're full.
>>203970584>join chinaLOL. why doesnt China join Japan & Korea? why doesn't China change their national language to something more pleasant to listen to. if they did that, i promise people would be way less anti-China.
>>203970367Goddamn someone needs to stop these women before they Carrot Top themselves to the point of no return
>>203970367she kinda cute here tho
like if all Chinese people suddenly started speaking only in French, nobody would hate them
>the devil judge >tense scene >cut to blatant multi vitamin ppl with close ups of the bottles
why are Japanese anime songs and kpop globally popular but Chinese & Vietnamese music isnt?cus the verbal language doesnt sound good. It's not like China isn't capable, they are, its just their spoken language sounds too funny
unnie I think you just don't like tonal languages but that's more of a you problem
>>203970885im sure it sounds fine to Chinese and Vietnamese people. also im just one dude, but i really do think people will warm up to China & Vietnam a lot more if they had a better sounding verbal language.
time for my medication
>>203971047What do you take?
>>203971104cbd flowers, sir
>>203970827For them to become popular they need to be exposed to it. Weebs have been around forever, liking anime songs & jpop is fairly normal. Kpop has done a great job at marketing itself globally - making groups full of attractive people with polished presentation turns out to be successful, who woulda thunk it. Even people in this general have likely never heard a single Chinese or Vietnam song.
>>203971179post some. i promise you people will start cringing and giggling at the language
>>203971135that's drugs not meds unnie

>>203971242nevermind, just food for thought. imagine if magically overnight, all of China spoke in perfect French but kept their written alphabet. people would be much more enthralled with China.
Cantonese sounds fine to me cause I grew up watching Jackie Chan, Johnnie To+Hong Kong action and Wong Kar Wai films. Mandarin in media still sounds strange to me. I can't take any show with romance seriously if it's in Mandarin. It's like there's no emotion at all to what they're saying and they're being disingenuous about it. Maybe if they promoted these shows more in the west
>>203971340Yeah, I have no idea what the skitzo is raving about. I bet he didn't like Korean the first time he heard it either. I have no problem with any of them, you just need to get used to the sound of a new language.
>>203971380you would be wrong. also there is Japanese, name one person or country that doesnt like Japanese as a language.
>>203971437Korea.
>>203971340>>203971380also way to miss the point that this anon still doesnt like spoken Mandarin in their cdrama romance. 2 people agree vs your 1 that it doesnt sound good.
>>203971450a lot of Koreans know Japanese, which is funny.
unnies what is your Saturday night drama?
>>203971922not sure yet. I will finish GS C s2 and maybe try finishing Love Next Door or Forecasting Love & Weather. but that's for later.
anyone want to put money down that the anti china schizo is a hong konger lol
does anyone know any good classic kdramas?
>>203972169you talking about me, and also i made good effort to be specific on what the issue was and wasn't talking about it's people?
>>203972199How old are we talking? Something like Jewel in the Palace?
>>203972199Back in the day I really enjoyed My Lovely Sam-soon, My Girl, Shining Inheritance, and 9 Ends 2 Outs but haven't rewatched them in a very long time so I don't know how they hold up. Did rewatch Coffee Prince a couple years ago and thought it held up quite wellSandglass, Winter Sonata, and Dae Jang Geum are also iconic classics but I have yet to watch them
>>203972199the non zoomer cut version of my lovely sam soon
>>203972563is nothing sacred?
>>203972493like early 2000s era
>>203972537thanks for all those recs, I'll look into them, though I have heard some chatter about Coffee Prince, so I might bump that one up a few slots. >>203972563I'm assuming its a netflix censorship thing

>>203971922Gonna check out Iron Family. It's been awhile since I've enjoyed a weekend drama, hope this one is fun
>>203973523>no Bae Yong KyunI just cannot take this book seriously. Anyone who is even somewhat interested in east asian cinema needs to know Bae Yong Kyun who made IMO the greatest korean film of all time "Why Has Bodhi Dharma Left for the East" it is a film version of the Buddhist myth of the Ten Bulls. They are somewhat hard to find and obscure films but anyone who wants to be taken seriously should know about Bae Yong Kyun.
What is the Sopranos of kdrama?
>>203973929Depends what you mean. Extremely overrated and gets worth with every season?
>>203973929Reply
>>203973929K-dramas are mostly targeted at women and most women don't care about 2000s HBO-tier prestige drama. Stranger S1, My Mister and Uncle Samsik are probably the closest SK has to that. For crime dramas there's The Worst of Evil but it's basically a Korean revenge/neo-noir movie stretched to a whole show
Any kino ones come out recently/ Last one i saw was 8 show, which was bretty good. short and nice.
>>203974493FrogTyrantRed swan
>unironically said "omo" in a conversation >not even Asian

Unnies, we say omo, nugu, daebak and jjang

The 2FL in Road Home is mogging hard
>>203968316Multiple witnesses in Japan saw them making out when he was still with Hyeri you fucking simp faggot. Your untalented waifu is drug addict whore. Take your fucking L cuck boy
>>203965856Fucking hate MDL cat ladies that hate on that show because the ML was 19 and the FL was 14 when they met. So they see it as creepy. She was like a little sister to him, that's the whole fucking point of the story! That as she grows up, she gets upset that he only sees her as a little sis. They don't start dating until she's in college. Wtf is wrong with people?
>>203957362If you haven't watched Eternal Love (10 miles of peach blossoms) or Love and Redemption you're doing yourself a disservice
Best girl in Road Home
Can I get reccies for some action kino?The Outlaws/Roundup movies are pretty fun.

>>203965821the show all round isn't very good and she's too shit an actress to carry it, watch it for her if you're a retarded coombrain but not if you're looking for actual kino.

Finally, its officially on October 20New drama with CX
>>203983040CX is a terrible actress
>>203982475>>203982504Isn't she a horrible woman?
>>203982810that looks like some terrible acting
>>203983092I'll cut you tongue if you will say such shit again
>>203983398yes
>>203983592kdg said she was one of the best k actresses
>>203983943
>>203984057not so great
I finally got through episode 3 of the frog by skipping all the flashback scenes. Did I miss anything important? It seems like the alcoholic hotel owner lady committed suicide but I didn't see why I should care.
>>203983573Why would you do that? He's not wrong. Just admit it, she's cast for being an idol, not a competent actress.
The uglier the actor/actress the better they are
>>203984652she spent 10 years for acting trainingI remember roasties like you said same that Teresa Li is terrible actress but when she won tons of awards for FL in The Long Season and Beyond they shut their fuck up.
>>203983383No it's a real human bean
>>203985043>she spent 10 years for acting trainingApparently that wasn't long enough.As for the rest, that's an awful comparison. Teresa Li was winning awards almost as soon as she began acting. How many has CX won? That's right, none.
>>203984261do zoomers really? lmao
>>203985447I swear they spend more time bitching about an episode than watching it. It's only an hour, their time isn't that precious.
why are you guys even watching these shows if you are all skipping scenes? why not watch something you actually want to watch?
>>203985510they can't put down they phone for 5 minutes even shows they like
>>203985531honestly it must be the yellow fever, it is pathetic, just whack off to jav and call it a day stop edging yourself with media where the most sexual thing that will you see is feet.
The FL in Something About 1% is perfect. Why are there more FL's like her?
>>203985809*aren't
