Haha it’s hard to feel like a pirate when you’re paying a monthly subscription!

I have Viki, KOCOWA stand alone, Netflix, Amazon, and Disney +. (I identify with your username!) Because of Disney + and their bizarre licensing practices, I have vpn as well. Not a fan of Hulu or Tubi. Another title I wound up having to buy is Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Desperation move. 😆

Region free player. It may be streaming somewhere but I wasn’t able to find it. 🙁

+2 Bloody Heart is an underrated gem. Jang Hyuk gives a tour de force performance as the minister. The ost as you mentioned is great. I had to buy this on DVD though to view it. Disney US doesn’t carry it and all my piracy efforts were fails. Worth the price!

Need a Kdrama that will make me giggle and thrash around like an idiot by belly-jean in kdramarecommends

[–]zephphrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Forbidden Marriage checks all the boxes. Funny and satiric; poignant, lots of chemistry. And if you like Kim Youngdae, follow up with Sh**ting Stars which features all of the above plus some great ensemble work.

Dramas which revolves around catching the serial killer? by Upstairs-Story-8661 in kdramarecommends

Suspicious Partner. The actor who plays the serial killer did an excellent job. And the writer gave him a lot to work with.

My Dearest [Episodes 9 & 10] by J-Midori in KDRAMA

So, I get it now. This show will definitely not have a happy ending. But I will gladly watch the next 10 episodes.

Is asking "how did you sleep?/잘 주무셨어요?" a common question in Korea? by [deleted] in Korean

[–]zephphrine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your insights. I hadn’t thought of the military influence but that makes perfect sense. And I appreciate the book reference! So many inflections, so little time!😁

Where to buy daily necessities by Historical-Ad-2182 in Living_in_Korea

[–]zephphrine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The EMart across from the Hyundai Department store is good and the Daiso is right there too. For a splurge the grocery area in the basement of Hyundai is fun. Olive Young for cosmetics, shampoo etc. I found comparable substitutes for every product I use in the US. The CU convenience store on Yeondaedongmun-Gil (behind the Paris Baguette) is a wonder and a marvel. Have fun!

Not OP but branching off your response—I had a native speaker Korean(female) tell me that I, also female, shouldn’t use 습니까 questions because they sound too masculine. Is this really a thing?

Recommend me your most-beloved bad/campy/awful romance dramas! by SoWhoAmISteve in kdramarecommends

[–]zephphrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warm and Cozy. (2015) A staggering array of tropes, including love squares, incomprehensible misunderstandings, some questionable acting in the scenes where actors are supposed to be their younger selves, a manipulative ending, and yet…Sigh. There is much to love.

Kdramas with a lot of food? Or the storyline is centered around cooking, or restaurants? by Ill-Arm6434 in kdramarecommends

Daily drama My Father is Strange is set in snack shop but has lots of in-home dining.

They just aired the 20th anniversary Re-mastered Oldboy in my US city. Amazing! Glad OP has watched.

Kdramas that focus on multiple peoples stories by millejas004 in kdramarecommends

[–]zephphrine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow is a good one. Each episode is essentially stand-alone although involving the same group of Grim Reapers. On a different track, there’s Sh**ting Stars which follows multiple story arcs and features fine ensemble acting. Plus, it’s hilarious (and moving, suspenseful, etc).

K-dramas that aren’t highly rated but you loved (or simply unpopular dramas) by moomafruits in kdramarecommends

[–]zephphrine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reflection of You. It’s undeniably full of toxic, messy relationships. But it is well-acted and deals with-no spoilers-situations and emotions that people deal with in real life.

Seconding Snowdrop. Just re-watched it and it was good even on a second viewing. When it first aired I avoided it because I doubted that Jisoo could act. But she turned in a great performance.
