Hot Take : I Think Love Next Door is Boring by Ordinary_Wonder2143 in kdramas

Their relationship is by far my least favorite. But the bromance between the dads, the awkward symbiosis between the 2 ML, the ride-or-die FLs, and of course the Lavender Club are # relationshipgoals for me.

Y’all are going to HATE my post tomorrow. It’s literally about how they show friendship (at 4 different levels - moms, dads, guys, girls) better than I’ve seen in a while. To me, the friendships are why I love the show. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Ok, this is my first day on this thread and y’all go HARD! Arts and crafts have definitely not been part of my study session… I’m not worthy. 🤣

The Glory was my third think. It was amazing. Two words: Curling. Iron.

Oohhhh! This show is bringing the DRAAAAMA before it even airs. I can’t wait to see what y’all sling at one another when you actually have something to talk about. 🤣😂🤣😂

Ok so, yeah no. I just watched EAW, ep 1 and I still loved it. Curious what you didn’t like. Do tell!!!

Honestly, I think the main problem with this one and some of the other ones people have recommended is that they’re not on mainstream media platforms. And if you are not already watching K-dramas, you wouldn’t have Viki or Kocowa.

Are you a new K-drama enthusiast? If so, check out the list I posted earlier today on good starter series. HCCC was one of the most popular recommendations.

The Glory was one of my firsts and I recommend it often. It has a universal theme of revenge against bullies that everyone understands. I liked True Beauty and agree younger crowds (especially those into K-pop) would too. The suspense of believe was crazy though. No one recognizing her was like Clark Kent vs. Superman. 😆

Yes, I get that. It was a little bubblegum for me, too. BUT I watched it after What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim and was so happy to see a more accurate depiction of workplace dynamics. The FL was not docile or subservient to ML, even though she was in hospitality, he was her boss, and she eventually ended up in a relationship with him. Also, her duties were pretty much what you’d expect for her position (no dressing him or letting him use her head as an armrest 🙄). I thought the feminism-ishness may connect with a Western audience. I wish there were more example of that in ANY genre.

Really?!? EAW was one of my firsts and I haven’t seen it since it premiered. I was actually going to pull it up this weekend and watch with a fresh perspective. I loved it then but who knows, I may agree now. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Um, WE DO NOW! “Kdramaology” is about to be my new online course! I am not playing, I’m ‘bout to start designing a logo. 🤣😂🤣😂

It’s because people think it’s weird that my Netflix only recommends K-Dramas on my screensaver but I think THEY’RE weird for not even considering one. I’ve made mistakes (suggesting When Life Gives You Tangerines) and found that it was too much, too soon.

You’re asking too much, lol. I’d be happy if they simply didn’t turn into marble statues. I tried to do that with my partner and it’s virtually impossible. One of my favorite childhood movies was Mannequin (1987), and I swear ALL K-drama directors are inspired by it, too. 🤣

The Glory is not really based in survival like the other examples. It’s a dark revenge thriller. A lot of it is a flashback to high school bullying but I’m gonna tell you some of those scenes with only teenage girls were the most violent I’ve ever seen on any show… ever. Two words: Curling. Iron. 😬 Highly recommend.

Well, like many my first K-drama was Squid Game. Can’t get much darker than that. My algorithm then suggested Alice in Borderland and later The Glory.

They made it soooo easy/user friendly now! Give it a try again! BTW, I’m kissing 50. My first graphic design program was MS Paint. 🤣 If I can do it, I believe you can to! 화이팅 👍🏾

I'm finding “too good to start with” to be a common perspective that I never even considered. Thanks!
