so I am super active on one of the kdrama forum for years and we always laugh about thai lakorns because they have a very distinct flavour. it is definitely not for everyone but they can be weirdly entertaining in a very makjang kind of way (you know what I mean if you have watched lots of kdramas).
so none of the trendy dramas ever interest me these days. I basically need a forum to keep me watching through all the boring bits. sometimes the conversation itself is so hilarious that I watch a drama just for the group. "man in the veil" was one such recent drama. we had a ball of a time laughing our heads off at the drama. the last kdrama that I absolutely adored and fangirled was "bossam: steal the fate" -- it totally caught my heart. ❤️
so right now, here is my list:
ask mantik intikam (turkish - remake of kdrama "cunning single lady" -- the chemistry is bindaas and the drama has more side characters and side bits like the hilarious moms. the seconds leads are lot less annoying compared to the original)
emanet (turkish - season 2 - I don't watch the entire eps but just follow the clips on youtube. I basically live for the comment section in season 1 which has viewers all over the world who were absolutely hilarious.)
keun ruk salub chata (thai - binge watching it this week because it is more interesting than I expected it to be. it actually has depth of characters and relationship dynamics which I did not expect. there is a whole mystery aspect because the souls are swapped. normally such dramas are played for laughs but here, it is more melo. makes it interesting)
be my dream family (kdrama; from PD of five children. absolutely lovely and would make for an absolutely heartwarming intergenerational watch. I wish ITV made such dramas that were real about families as well as so sweet and nice. none of these people are villains or morons. it is about a couple in their 60s who get married and both have adult children. so all about how these two families blend together)
red shoes (kdrama; am not really enjoying it but keeping an eye on forum convos and watch here and there; the acting is good and melodramatic but am not sure what to make of the story)
second husband (kdrama; this one is fun; we are all wondering who is going to get killed and how she is going to end up in jail and then come back later for revenge....)
azmaish (PK serial; I accidentally discovered them thanks to YT recommendations. the beginning was good and now it is absolutely bakwas. gets my BP rolling at the madness of the story. however, I still keep peeking to see how this stupidity ends. UGH.)
