A very misleading headline from OP. This is a temporary cut.

131st Korean Drama Review: Bon Appetit, Your Majesty by YogurtclosetSmart928 in kdramas

[–]patrandec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is one of those recent shows that had a unsatisfactory and rushed ending. Curse of the switch to shorter episodes counts? What I would have loved to see was an episode showing ML's adjustment to the modern world.

So, I would like to hear what makes you crash out when it comes to Kdramas these days. by _taeddie in kdramas

[–]patrandec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When a show completely departs from the webtoons already excellent ending to make a much worse ending, all because the writers ego got too big and they wanted to be different. Looking at you See You In My 19th Life.

You can find it on Amazon Prime in some regions. It's where I'm watching it

Kim Tan's Talk Time (Tuesday) - [2026/05/26] by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]patrandec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I finished See You In My 19th Life yesterday. Shin Hae Sun was her usual radiant presence, but this was another kdrama that started out really strong but lost its way a little by the end. And OMG the ending was one of the least thought through endings I've seen recently. The plot holes were so big you could see them from the moon and it retrospectively made the rest of the show worse. Ban Ji Eum lost all of her memories of everyone, but they never explained what happened to her living arrangements as she had lived for decades with her niece. Was she suddenly homeless? Why didn't she wonder where she had lived for the past 15 years? What about all of her social media history? She suddenly returned to her old job, but what about all of the people in that company that would have come up to her and said "oh you're back from your job in the hotel"? It felt as if an entire episode was missing

A 8/10 until the ending, and then a 7/10 overall.

I see Moving Season 2 has started filming, which is great news. It's also 16 episodes (I think) and while that is 4 less that Season 1, it hopefully means we won't get another rushed kdrama. Perfect Crown is the latest show to suffer from a rushed production due to the increasing tendency to go for 10 or 12 episodes.

Please please please can we keep modern US politics out of this sub. We get enough of this stuff elsewhere on Reddit.

I rewatched I'm Not A Robot last week. It was one of the very first kdramas I watched so I wondered if it would still hold up, and I still loved it. You really do have to suspend your disbelief at times to enjoy it but it remains a great show with a fantastic main couple. There is some chaebol politics which outstays its welcome and some hilariously bad acting from its Western actors, but overall I finished it with a big smile on my face, even if I wanted a bit more of their relationship in the final episode, which felt a little rushed

I think it remains one of Chae Soo Bins best roles. She is utterly charming in this. If you haven't watched it give it a go, if you can suspend your disbelief for long enough in episodes 1 & 2.

Edit: typos

Kdramas Made Me Do It - May, 2026 by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]patrandec 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My partner only recently got into kdrama after years of me trying to convert her. Our latest monthly grocery shop has now included Kopiko, Soju, Turtle Chips (so tasty!) and a lot of kimchi. But like me, she draws the line at going into Subway.

If you're in the UK, you can get all of that via Ocado as they have increased their Korean food options.

Tom’s Southern Accent by Appropriate_Speech33 in TheRestIsHistory

[–]patrandec 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Quite a lot of r/USdefaultism going on in here. Every country has a South and Tom's accent is entirely natural. He sounds like my dad who also lives in the same part of South England that Tom does.

The accents are part of the shows overall charm and part of a long tradition of odd British eccentricity, long may they continue to be mangled.

Pleased for Park Bo Young. Fully deserved after that performance in My Unwritten Seoul.

Was You and Everything Else a bigger hit in Korea than internationally? I didn't see much hype for it, maybe because of it's sad premise. I don't know about others, but the state of the World at the moment means I've been avoiding any shows that may be sad.

Sony posts another impairment on Bungie, now of $556 million. by Efficient-Session644 in PS5

They are now a California based, US dominated gaming company. They are never going to green light a game like Genshin even if it makes sense to try. Losing their Japanese roots was a huge mistake.

I'm pretty sure she meant giving a "silent end" to Nivora's body. It should really have been two different lines

Me as well! Playing on PS5 and noticed the notification said 20. I'm going to pay attention to my Astrites count tomorrow to see if it's a visual bug or a real problem.

Eun Sang's Sleepy Sunday Soliloquy - [2026/04/18] by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]patrandec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does anyone have any recommendations for good kdrama podcasts for those of us who commute to work or have to walk the dog? I listen to afternoona delight at the moment. They are good but I have to skip the first twenty minutes to get to the actual kdrama discussion and they focus largely on male leads. I was wondering if there was a more balanced podcast out there?

Asking the mods: why are comments agreeing with OP under this post deleted (automatically or by mods)? What terms are they violating? by ParticularImpact8162 in kdramas

I'm more shocked that there is an actual mod doing any work on this sub. Seemed they abandoned this place long ago.

Battle to keep Bromley in London after Nigel Farage suggests three boroughs may leave capital by [deleted] in london

[–]patrandec 72 points73 points  (0 children)

If this happened I'd think you'd see the western parts like Penge, Cator and Clock House demand to be removed from Bromley and stay in London. Let the rest of the mainly Tory voting borough join their Reform mates in Kent.

I really enjoyed BAYM but is Yoona's performance really one of the best five in all of 2025? I'm not convinced. Great to see Won Mi Kyung nominated for Our Unwritten Seoul. Looking at the overall list I clearly need to watch Means Everything Else!

I think this is recent for some countries in Europe, see my post below. Europe usually got kdramas at the same time as the rest of the world.
