>>217765795Finally a BL edition. We are here
Delete this faggot shit
unnie don't use that word
BL edition? omo
love in the big city is bl kino
delete this faggot. i dont wanna see men in my daily thread
i will gonna bake another new one
>>217765877I've been postponing it since it aired. I'm not homo but fag shit sometimes turn out pretty kino and that one looks better than the usual homo bait
It's actually an incest love triangle, according to the synopsis. One of the males is Sohee's brother, the other one is the guy who wants to save her. But it never got made into a kdrama.
>>217765976Is that the actor who evaded tax evasion?
>>217766001that actor is the Village Chief lol. he isn't in the trailer for the Villainess is a Marionette.
>>217765976Why not?
he plays such wholesome roles too (Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Start-Up!) and irl he is a tax evader. Just goes to show that one cannot judge a kdrama actor by the roles they play.
Also based af if it was supposed to have incest love
kdg torrents update
>>217766116I am wondering that too - the trailer looks great. I would watch the live adaptation. They likely did not have the funding or a higher up said no.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMz03xAHcZ0
What is this new HONOUR show about?
>>217766192>or a higher up said noMany such cases. We want more incest love shows 2bh
>>217766229good ep1.
>>217766192Is that a pajeet singing?
>>217766368ya i think so. but i just looked it up - india has lots of different languages and it doesn't sound like the call center language.
Why does everyone look so fucking gay
>>217765976according to those who've read the novel the ML was so boring that everyone wished the fl to be with her brother instead lol, not much incest apparently so maybe it was for the better that it was not adapted..
Although HSH looked incredible in those outfits
>>217766549typical boring gud boi behaviour. a webnovel just wouldn't hit the same as watching the live version with this cast.swapping to another kdrama diva - the Bae Suze
kek other general got deleted

>>217767096You can post some webm. That's the only way to get me to watch a drama
I'd be a good extra on a kdrama delivering jjajjangmyeon on my bicycle.>waiting for Yeji's acting debut
Why is korea so against having an LLCs and S-Corps?
>>217767198I never make webms, but I'll make an exception just for you.
we are watching Honour ep2
Ourguy from Hometown Cha-cha-cha is getting canceled again.
Watching My Grumpy Secretary (variety show) and as one cast member looks for the others, they used the title song from Eyes of Dawn as BGM. Feeling very cultured for recognizing ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crt3fTe9pEQ
the hide n seek in ep2 of Honour. omo
>>217768673god she was hot af in thisi would have raped her here and there
>>217768673They are "top stars" of diff gen. A big deal in casting
unhinged
>>217770795>>217770839They tried so hard to maker her look ugly, but they failed.
undercover miss hong is 16-episodes all filler kino
>>217768557>>217768673Mommy
>>217771044kinda curious to see how they will drag the story for that long
Thrillerslop bros the first two episodes of Bloody Flower are out
>>217772091I don't know how I should feel about thisOn one hand there's kino granpa aka action director as one of the ML, but on the other hand there's also that unsightly and repulsive bogged faggot from twinkling watermelon as the other MLwatch it and tell us if it's good please
Bloody Flower is quickly winning kdg doty
>>217772091Does xe/xer play FL or ML?https://mydramalist.com/photos/b3YJRZ_3
for the record any faggots have seen Bloody Flower is it promising ?

>>217772091eh
>keeps saving his faggot thread from archiving when it's obviously been left to die
>>217767892I wish i was food so she could eat me
>>217775050Yeji can afford her own food and we would give her bad stomachaches if we were edible. We're better off bringing Yeji food on the backs of our delivery bicycles.
Tired of modern kdramas I'll watch an old one for a change
Spring Fever is winning DOTY so far
No thriller no watch
>faggot OP
You have got to be fucking kidding me
>>217777144Is Subway the Samsung of fast foods in Korea?
>>217774726why do you even care?
>>217767892>ntl is a yejibrowhy do you dislike him again
>>217777144it's probably pedo signaling - jared is a convicted pedo. the bird with the 3 eyes and hat in kpop demon hunters was more coded messaging.
>>217777422you are so simple minded
>>217777439i hear
>>217777144He looks away as she opens Pandora's Box, with gylphed sigils As Above and So Below. The magick of Secrets wanes when the spell is outspoken.
>>217777144The first ep of The King of Dramas has a satirical PPL bit where they must incorporate x seconds of orange juice PPL into the finale of an action drama. Their solution involves the protag squeezing an orange juice box into his mouth before shooting himself in the head. I think of it often
you didn't cast enough mana
Just found out our Gumiho got married
>>217777407We unfortunately have opposing goals. He wants to take South Korea for his tribe, and I want to keep South Korea safe for mine. We may have been bros once, but he has been salty since I made a meme about "being on patrol".
the fuck is the little fag talking about even
Pretty sure the niece in Positively Yours has FAS
holy based janny
>>217779735What happened
>>217780068ntl blogging about his life again and going on a fatphobic rant for no reason
NtL is an annoying faggot. Dunno why you guys validate his faggotry and use his thread.
mostly true - it was self curation though! >gottem
because the zest thread keeps some of you from being toxic towards women. the zestiness of male kdrama actors keeps your coominess at bay. in other words - the zest makes you feel insecure.
I ain't reading all that shit, but agree that the cuck fag missing from he thread is an overall positive
Drama like Revenant?
>>217780687It's not a romcom so they don't copy paste the previous show with a new one but with a different cast
>>217780687The Guest>>217780162It goes into all field
>>217780662i forgot to include this but she said she was "training him" literally her words. i said "what? training him" out loud in response because he is a man, not a pet to be trained you know? she didnt respond directly to that but her body language said yes.keep player hatin if you must.
>>217780687CursedI'll also recommend Sell Your Haunted House, because it has Jang Na Ra
>ready for your good boi training?
>>217777745That kdrama peels back the onion for a glimpse into how kdramas were made. I enjoyed it.
the siege of kdg continues, the zest persists.
>>217779735 based beyond comprehension, janny finally clocked in and hit the report queue with a death note
Watch his show.
>>217782900Its a Korean version of the gentle/misunderstood giant comedy trope. It is, so far, a good effort.
>>217783201True
zest patrol
Let's bump it up!
>>217765795Has anyone seen Undercover Miss Hong? Is it any good?
bloody flower just won doty today
i haven't watched any kdramas this month.
I don't plan to watch any K-dramas this year. But maybe I'll rewatch mr. Sunshine again
mr sunshine was so melancholy throughout the show. i guess Go Ae Shin's survival story struck a chord with ye?
holy bogcant this be fixed?
Binged Taxi Driver for the first time.S1 had a good overarching story and fun storiesS2 had a bad overarching story and ok storiesS3 had no overarching story, bad stories, and did not follow rules and characterizations from previous seasonsS3 was REALLY bad. Made the female member of the team a dumb Mary Sue and had them kill nearly every villain except the one from the first story. Does any kdrama manage to not go to shit post-S2? lol
>>217787419They keep changing the director, might explain some things (idk I only bothered with S1)>Does any kdrama manage to not go to shit post-S2?I feel like very few dramas even get an S3 or beyond. Off the top of my head I can only think of 3 or 4 titles
a zesty bump
>watching Winter Sonata>look up the lead actress >she looks younger in 2024 than she did in 2002many such cases
>>217789922c'mon, when they made her into a college student or even a high school dropout in the glory as a 40 yo it was comical
How much worse will the AI sloppification of Kdrama get? I was excited to watch "Our Universe" (pic related) but now I'm instantly turned off in the opening. They don't need to do this, just have a compilation of shots from the show for the opening if they want to cut corners, they even have hand drawn art in the edits they could use instead.It seems like the attitude towards AI slop is completely different in Korea. I look at this and see something non-human. It's so ugly. Do Koreans not feel that way? They don't even want to try and have the blocks make sense and have the train be on the track. How much work do they put into this show, just for the opening to be some incoherent garbage. This is supposed to represent the essence of the show. It's a stark contrast to Anime openings which are often superior to the anime itself in animation and art quality.Not the first time I've seen AI art in Kdrama either. And I can't find anyone complaining about it, so I can only assume Koreans don't care and the ones that do are not being represented on the English speaking internet.
>>217790697From a recent show, and not the opening (undercover miss hong)
>>217790724Its over.
The Judge Returns SpoilersI hope he gets back together with his wife from before the time reversal
We will be watching boyfriend om demand
>>217792124not me
>>217792239It stars jisoo, you NEED to watch it
>>217792403nope. I tried to watch Snowdrop and couldn't get through it. I don't blame it all on her but she's not enough to overcome my dislike of lizard boy Seo In-guk
>>217792124Yes unnie
>>217792480Rude
>>217792480Rude!
>>217792403
>>217793039What does this even mean?
Our Universe, co-parenting drama. Seems interesting. I like the FL
>>217792403the only blackpink we care about is jennie
What are the recommended recent comfy shows?
>>217793862Too much of a whore for my taste
>>217793922None so far in 2026
>>217794224How many have you watched to reach this conclusion?
bump :)
>>217794162this is more to your taste, fellow ZEST enjoyer
hello :)
>>217795673Bogged
why so slow?
>>217790697Love.exe had a whole 1-2 min scene with entirely AI generated footage (it looked like shit) and had at least 1 scene where the FL consults ChatGPT. Pretty sure some sort of sponsorship was going on. It is a depressing trend and I wouldn't be surprised if some scripts were actually AI genned too. Soulless corner-cutting, kdramas really do not need more of that.I think the average normie just doesn't notice or care about AI slop that much in general. There could be Koreans bitching about it in their own fan spaces, but I don't think any drama has been egregious enough (and/or popular enough) in their usage of it for there to be significant outrage.
they killed the attorney woo thread kdrama hating janny might be back stay safe out there unnies
>>217795673Show me the other side of her face
>>217796041That's brutal. I suppose it's an inevitability when the masses don't care. At least there are a bunch of shows coming out, something will inevitably end up being good.>>217793824I complained about the AI opening but I enjoyed the show itself. Some strange editing, and a very jarring first episode to set up the premise of the show. But I liked the (non) chemistry between the ML and FL. >>217796022I'll post more if I watch some more The Judge Returns or Can This Love be Translated lol
>>217797383Fuck if they use AI gonna drop the show
What should I watch?I cannot find Secret Love Affair on GoPlay or KissAsian. Recommend me some comfy drama, no slop. I've seen most of the usual titles.
>>217797433kisskh has itYou can also download it from OP.
>>217797429It's just the opening but it's a TERRIBLE opening. The show itself didn't have any that I noticed.
>>217793922undercover miss hong isn't too bad meanwhile pro bono was the pozzest kdrama i've seen in a while. DROPPED

>>217798614Undercover Miss Honk
What a bunch of zesty niggers
>>217799096unnie don't use that word
Forget the violence you know. Look at the pain you don't. The real thriller is the human heart under pressure. The real mystery is how we endure.
>>217799455
>>217799455we dont really have a choice except to endure when suffering comes, and use it as a timer to prevent more suffering down the road.
10 weeks since new boyoungs
Is Dear X worth watching or can I just delete it to make room for the new shows coming this year?
no tail to tell won avistaz dotm
>>217800267it's mediocre cringe that tries to be edgy but fail, a bit like When the phone rings style-wise
>>217800511I will just delete it them, I really need the extra space
so the trick to getting cuckzy to fuck off is to post men in the OP? noted
cuckzy is the life and blood of kdg
a silent guardian
>>217800784it keeps cucky,cdrama shills and coomer posters away.
zest
>>217798614Made in Korea is really good but its not a comedy nor a romance. Brutal and dark.
>>217800977SG has wondeful proportions - it's what the Greeks called "heroic" ratio (shoulders wide, his person 8-10 "heads" tall)
>>217800969>coomerI've been here the whole time bumping though
Introduction to the kdg movies pastebin:This collection explores the deeper currents of Han (한), that profound Korean sense of resilient sorrow. It's a tour of emotional extremes: quiet melodramas, quirky healings, social outsiders, and the raw trauma that shapes a modern psyche.Sopyonje (1993): The foundational text on Han, where traditional pansori singing becomes the sound of a nation's sorrow.Christmas in August (1998): A masterpiece of quiet melodrama about love and acceptance in the face of terminal illness.One Fine Spring Day (2001): An achingly atmospheric film about the lingering sensory memory of a faded love.Chunhyang (2000): The classic folktale, a quintessential story of loyalty and han born from social injustice.Crush and Blush (2008): A cringe-comedy of profound pathos about a socially isolated, desperately lovelorn woman.Castaway on the Moon (2009): The quintessential "healing" film; a modern fable of suicide, survival, and connection.A Werewolf Boy (2012): A fantasy melodrama about an eternal, impossible bond and the lifelong scar of first love.Sunny (2011): Vibrant nostalgia for 1980s friendship, contrasted with the disappointments of middle age.Han Gong-ju (2014): An unflinching portrait of trauma, survival, and societal betrayal.Sunset in My Hometown (2018): A failed rapper's return to his rural roots, exploring identity and belonging.A Man Who Was Superman (2008): A bittersweet fable about hope, delusion, and kindness in a cynical city.Bounce Ko Gals (Japan, 1997): A brutal look at the commodified alienation of Tokyo's teenage subculture.My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? (Japan, 2005): Existential, absurdist punk philosophy on suicide and connection.Not One Less (China, 1999): Stark neorealism about the stubborn value of a single life in a neglected village.
>>217800267I came to like Dear X and sympathized with the FL, in fact cheered at the end. She had these men that tried to control her and didn't give a shit what she wanted. I do agree the simpin was off the charts.
>>217801058I'm not a schizo so I appreciate any genre of kdramas, only quality matters to me. Watched the first episode and it was great, will keep going.
>>217801092>desperately lovelorn womanand a FL that goes on to star in some of the most sickening kdrama portrayals of first class unapologetic and unashamed cuckery
Oh no he is here
>>217801238jealousy incarnate is kdg approved

>>217801400
Not me dipshits. Haven't posted in your gay cunt thread because there's no slop worth discussing and I have better things to do. Although I have "Our Golden Days" playing in the background while I sort out IRL shit. Big fan of the ML actor. Now resume uppercutting yourselves up each others gaped asses, söyboy anti-men.
q-quilt noona is cuckzy?! the zest persists
>>217801417What is she asking for when she does that? It's really tempting...
>>217801512how do you get a body like this
>>217801238>>217801238she was much worse in pasta. at least in this show she was honest with both guys. in pasta she was seeing the sml behind the ml's back. even tried to sneak him into her apartment before being busted by the ml in the elevator. she's a definite red flag actress.
>>217802215its yummy right? looks natty too. lift compound weights (bench & deadlifts and maybe squats but im not a fan of squats) and be consistent at lifting for years upon years and don't stop. and do supplementary, non-compound lifts too and moderate cardio.avoid alcohol - pure gains killer.
>>217802293Agree in Pasta what she was doing with the cactus guy unforgivable. You would think if she truly loved chef she wouldn't stay out all night with another man she knew wants her. Even after busted by chef she continued to do this with no shame at all.
Or just learn to use Photoshop
Zesty ahhh
>>217801464Name 2 (two) things that are better than posting in this general.
>>217802883Thats easy for anyone with a life. I'll be skiing this weekend and fornicating in the warmth and glow of a fire nightly
>>217801092>>>/film/
>>217801214A true connoisseur. I'm glad more people are checking out Made in Korea. Really loved the noir style, always appreciate when a drama has a solid aesthetic

>>217802858just kill yourself retard, there I said it, everyone hates your gut, both itt and irl, you'll find peace in he afterlife

Can /kdg/ thread go any lower than this?
Just finished episode 2 of Our Universe. The parenting hijinks are in full swing now and it's amusing how self-interested the ML is. I am excited to see him grow.Unfortunately I think there was some more AI in the episode, not just the opening. They did that thing where you take a drawing from a real artist and animate it with AI, resulting in an uncanny animation. Unnecessary and ugly. Oh well.
>>217801092I could very well be wrong but this reads like some ChatGPT or some other LLM slop. It'd be nicer and more beneficial if you'd write this shit out yourself, with your own thoughts. Why should I be incentivized to watch something that you don't even care enough about to write a single sentence on your own?
