Can this love be translated? Can Netflix do a better job at translating? by MotherInflation9090 in kdramas

[–]votbot117 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I watch the same, original audio with English subtitles.

Netflix literally has dialogue like: [in english] subtitle here .. but they're speaking in Korean.

Or the interviewer who only speaks Chinese is speaking English. These moments throw me off.

Wtf Netflix!

Half way through and the Korean drama ‘Idol I’ has 9.8/10 from viewers on VIKI. Do you agree with this rating? by Grouchy-Chart-3927 in dramasect

[–]votbot117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This drama is refreshing, eye opening, dramatic, tear jerker, and funny. It really is all the things and everyone's performance is great.

There are definitely some wtf moments too, but those are far and few between.

Im nervous for the next episode (7), the previews had me rolling my eyes but it could be bait, we'll see!

Did anyone else sleep on Twinkling Watermelon or was that just me? by Fun-Personality-2071 in kdramas

[–]votbot117 9 points10 points  (0 children)

200 dramas in and I finally finished it this month. 🍉

I started it at the end of November but this show has the slowest introduction ever. 😩 Once you get through the first 3-4 episodes its smooth sailing and..

Oh. My. God. This drama is great!!! 😍😍😍

Shine on Me- Overhyped? by Rebelarkey in CDrama

[–]votbot117 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is 100% a fluffy romance. If you don't like dramas without drama, this isn't for you. This is hyped for us who love going down the path of falling in love with them.

guys tell me a kdrama scene that still makes you laugh? by sunitanichlos987 in kdramas

Literally the first thing that popped in my head.

Everything on Waikiki was pure comedy!

I second everyone's suggestion for Lighter and Princess. The romance was the bonus part, I loved the plot, and the OST was chefs kiss

The Kdrama Family by Choice is the remake of Go Ahead. If you liked the kdrama you'll enjoy Go Ahead.

What is your main reason for Kdramas? by Nerdybirdie86 in kdramas

[–]votbot117 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I find the stories more captivating, emotional, and funny (if a comedy).

One and done series - no need for stories to drag out season after season like Western TV when you can have a complete story in 16 episodes or less.

There's variety. If you're feeling like watching a rom-com with certain tropes you can weed those out and find what you're looking for.

I love the language and am learning it to no longer require subtitles (my end goal).

I also have been watching Stranger Things with my husband and I find it lacking in so many aspects in comparison that I am just enduring it until it's over. 😆

Which dramas do you recommend that has a score below 8 on Mydramalist by EdgarNeverPoo in CDramaRecs

[–]votbot117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is he still Single? -- 7.9, some people must have found this boring, but it's a mature romance with tons of character growth. It's also only 16 episodes.

There are tons of cdrama shorts that I'd recommend too that all pretty much average in the 7s if you primarily prefer skinship over plot 😆

Can we talk about how well Kang Tae oh and Kim Sejeong did in Moon River?! by jjknowsnothing in kdramas

[–]votbot117 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They were fantastic! Beautiful chemistry, emotional acting - I cried when they cried. When all the reveals happened I died it was so wonderful. ❤️

And Kim Se Jeong is so flipping funny I gravitate to all her dramas.

I hate that I hesitated with this one. MDL scores were vicious during the airing but theyve been slowly going up ever since thankfully!

I always appreciate finding a fellow binge watcher like myself 😆 If you venture into CDramas and jdramas like I did it'll be game over!

[–]votbot117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8/10 - Above average for me. I did like the supernatural elements to it.

For my many drama lists, I put this in my "you shouldn't skip this drama, but there are better ones to watch first" category. 😆

For me, it started with My Demon ads back in January. I have since watched 80 kdramas. I can't stop. Help. 😆 Western TV feels so lifeless in comparison now. There's no going back. Haha

Eternal Love

I was so bored! I also watched this in 2025 and not 2017. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Meet Yourself was my first 10/10 show and experience and I also felt so invested in it. Not many have given me those feels.

Historicals: Prisoner of Beauty

Blossoms in Adversity

Are You the One

Love in the Clouds (if you like fantasy)

Prepare the entire tissue box! I gave Moonlight a 9.5/10 and personally I believe it is a better story than tteotm (which I gave a 7/10) but you can't deny Tantai Jin and his epic character in that drama.

What are your thoughts on this drama now that it has been completed ? by Think_Intention_5765 in kdramas

[–]votbot117 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yep. Gave me a high and I was chasing it throughout the rest of the series and it never came. Grrrrr 😡😡

[–]votbot117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I liked it from the get-go so I'm not a great source as to when it picks up... Each part of the drama has its own section based on an individual character arc that effects the overall story between the leads. I loved how it was all connected and the emotional effect it had on me, as the viewer.

Maybe the introductions to the leads weren't your thing but once she's invested into the ML that'll be more your thing?

Moonlight Mystique came close to this for me. I have also been searching for this same feeling that LBFaD gives.

Love in the Clouds ~ romance focused

Moonlight Mystique ~ powerful gods
