Something I think about constantly is a line from the Kdrama Healer. "My dad told me to have 2 hobbies. Keep your top favorite as a hobby and make the second favorite your job. That's why he's a lawyer with a café." That line has kept me from monetizing my hobbies many times. At least my top ones

Haven't been here in while - any new #kdrama or #jdrama people that wanna be friends? I chat about both, and I post my reviews and essays here too!

"You never needed to prove yourself to be loved, let alone bargain for it. You already are worthy of love from the right people, and by your presence here." #Kdrama #Medium medium.com/theuglymonst...

Episode 4! Things are heating up already, I'm excited to see where this goes. #kdrama #youandeverythingelse

Over the summer, I watched the Korean drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines" at the behest of a friend. And that led me to write about how the show's steadfast, compassionate male main character, Yang Gwan-sik, is the type of man we should look toward. bryanhg.wordpress.com/2025/10/15/o...

Finally, my analysis of episode 3! Ignore the fact that there are no images attached, Netflix is a bitch. #kdrama #youandeverythingelse

Episode 2, baby! I spent more time than I'm proud of thinking about what red symbolises (to no avail). #kdrama #youandeverythingelse

I've done it again 👀 #kdramas #youandeverythingelse

The comment was under this video by @thedramanotes.bsky.social. Check out her entire channel, she gives fantastic insights into Kdramas, Jdramas and Cdramas youtu.be/7OfnBokkBV8?...

I… do not actually want multiple seasons of every drama. Part of the appeal of kdramas (and cdramas) for me when I started was that they are finite in scope. I am actually less inclined to start a drama I know has multiple seasons (&/or more seasons coming) because I don’t want the commitment.

This question came up on Reddit and the answer is post-production skin whitening and heavy makeup. If you see the same actors in films or older kdramas you see that in reality they are much tanner and have (gasp) visible pores.

Hey y'all, I just created an MDL list for Controversial Female Leads. The list is pretty short right now but includes some of my favorite dramas because I love female characters that other people hate. Would love your contributions from any country: Kdrama, Cdrama, Jdrama etc.

Nobody click this, it's really spammy. Report it instead 👍🏼

If you see this, quote with a powerful woman (K-drama edition)

🧵 This will be the last thing I post about this whole grooming scandal today I know I'm new to this whole #kdrama thing (not even a full year), but one thing I did pick up is how brutal Korean entertainment can be to their actors. There's a certain expectation attached to this profession in Korea.

Viu really said "we know he's probably a pedophile, but isn't he talented?" with their full chest. I have no idea what they're thinking with this. #kimsoohyun #kimsaeron #kdrama #badideas

When I wrote about Kim Sae-ron, I was not even slightly prepared for how much more disgusting and horrifying the conversation was going to get. God, she really was failed by everyone in her life.

#Jdrama Ossan's Love is an INSANE show that I enjoyed way more than I expected to - come with me on a journey through chaos and BL tropes as I try to figure out why. (Also I've never had so much fun getting screenshots in my life. Enjoy!)

Day #16 of K-drama ABCs~ P is for Park Shin-hye 🥰 I just love her work. And if I hadn't watched You're Beautiful, Heirs and Flower Boy Next Door back-to-back 12 years ago, I probably wouldn't be here! #kdramachallenge #kdrama

I find it so charming when kdramas have their 40 year old characters just pretend to be in high school for flashbacks. Don't get a younger actor, just get someone with a mortgage to put on a backpack and a sweater vest. A calm twinkle in their eye as they pretend to be experiencing puberty. 10/10

Day #15 of K-drama ABCs~ O is for Orange Marmalade! Look, I know I'm the only person who gives a crap about this drama, but 2/3 of it are actually quite good, okay? 😂 #kdramachallenge #kdrama crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2021/07/25/o...

#Jdrama Ossan's Love is an INSANE show that I enjoyed way more than I expected to - come with me on a journey through chaos and BL tropes as I try to figure out why. (Also I've never had so much fun getting screenshots in my life. Enjoy!)

Day #14 of K-drama ABCs~ N is for Noona Romances! My love for Noona Romances has cooled in the last few years, but BOY, they used to take up a lot of space in my brain. Could talk about a lot of good ones, but Let's Eat is underrated. #kdramachallenge #kdrama youtu.be/dbO5mQxr6YA?...

Day #13 of K-drama ABCs~ M is for My Liberation Notes. I can't even describe how much this drama affects me. At once silly and profound, absurd and transcendent, it talks about the human condition in such a unique way. #kdramachallenge #kdrama

Update on this - it's done, polished, ready to go! I've got it scheduled to drop on Friday morning so keep your eyes peeled! 👀

Day #12 of K-drama ABCs~ L is for Live - raw, brutal, unflinching, tender, life-affirming Live. Easily the best Noh Hee-kyung drama I've seen. #kdramachallenge #kdrama youtu.be/v4s-yqeuDIE?...

Day #11 of K-drama ABCs~ K is for Kim So-hyun! I said my piece about one of the other famous Kims recently, but Kim So-hyun is also very special to me. From Missing You to School 2015 to Page Turner to My Lovely Liar, she's just unfathomably charming and talented. #kdramachallenge #kdrama

So I tried to watch Weak Hero today and it's ruined my life maybe?

Day #10 of K-drama ABCs~ J is for Jannabi 😍 Jannabi is my favourite band, and the love affair started with drama OSTs. Twenty Again's Cuckoo was the first, and I've loved every song I've heard since. #kdramachallenge #kdrama youtu.be/-3FR0EGwQKs?...

Day #9 of K-drama ABCs~ I is for I Can Hear Your Voice. I see all its flaws now, but for the longest time I thought it was the perfect drama. It absolutely took over my life, for YEARS. A lot of my taste of dramas can be traced back to it. #kdramachallenge #kdrama

Day #8 of K-drama ABCs~ H is for Happiness 😭 Thanks for giving Han Hyo-joo's career a well-deserved boost, and for showing me that zombies were never the thing I should fear: society is. #kdramachallenge #kdrama

It's so nice to actually have some motivation to write, for the first time in months! Currently working on a review of Ossan's Love because that sure was a thing I watched this week 🤣

Day #7 of K-drama ABCs~ G is for Gong Tae-kwang, the only second male lead I've ever loved more than the male lead (if you could even call Han Yi-an that) 🥲 He introduced me to Yook Sung-jae and BTOB (the only K-pop group I follow), and he also just ticked every box ✅ #kdramachallenge #kdrama

Day #6 of K-drama ABCs~ F is for Flower Boys, but Flower Boy Next Door in particular - this was my fourth drama ever, and the first to deliver a heroine I really understood and related to. Go Dok-mi lives in my bones. #kdramachallenge #kdrama youtu.be/ceReCl5a9B4?...

#kdrama quotes no context

INTERESTING Because investment from China drying up years ago massively changed the drama landscape. Wonder what effect this will have if it goes through? 🤔

Day #5 of K-drama ABCs~ E is for Extraordinary You, the drama that made me fall in love with existential fiction. The huge blog post I wrote about this drama is still my magnum opus, and Dan-oh one of my favourite heroines 😭 #kdramachallenge #kdrama crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2022/05/14/t...

The news is already forgetting about Kim Sae-ron, but I haven't. None of the usual analysis and sarcasm today, just needed to clumsily process my feelings. Is anyone else still thinking about Kim Sae-ron? #kdrama #kimsaeron

Day #4 of K-drama ABCs~ D is for Drama Specials. I almost chose Do You Like Brahms today, but I have to pick my favourite anthology series! KBS Drama Specials are like a box of chocolates - they can be great or terrible, but there's a thrill in not knowing until you try. #kdramachallenge #kdrama

Day #3 of K-drama ABCs~ C is for Cinderella Stories! Cinderella stories are the reason I fell in love with Korean storytelling, and arguably the reason that love has persisted so long. Class divides, reversals of fortune, the power of kindness - it never gets dull! #kdramachallenge #kdrama

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody uses the hashtags #kdrama or #cdrama, does it make a sound? 😅

Spent the morning binging the last four episodes of #StudyGroup and MAN this drama was good! All five of the main characters having some kind of arc, a beautiful balance of comedy and powerhouse drama, the most electrifying fight scenes I've seen in a long time... 🧵

Day #2 of K-drama ABCs~ B is for Be Melodramatic! 2019 was a really tough year for me and I only enjoyed three dramas that year - this was one of the them. Silly, fun, wise, affecting, lovable Be Melodramatic seems like a good pick for today. #kdramachallenge #kdrama youtu.be/YBEUXfT7_48?...

I'm gonna do this one! But there will be explanations 😂 Okay, #kdrama ABCS - A is for Amnesia, because I think this trope is actually really underrated and (when used well) is an emotional gutpunch in a story. Here's a blog I wrote about it: crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/10/12/i...

I studied this briefly at a Korean summer school, and it was the best film I watched for that course! If what I learned is true, it was the first South Korean film to portray North Korea in a sympathetic and positive light after the war.

This article gets some things comically wrong (Miracle No. 7, a romcom??) and I completely disagree with the writer's opinions on Pinocchio and Alhambra, it's still nice to see Park Shin-hye celebrated #kdrama gulfnews.com/entertainmen...

Korea’s national broadcaster #KBS is gearing up for a new era of dramas, starting this year with a “younger” and “faster” approach and providing a “wide range of productions” to overcome the challenges the Korean drama industry is facing.

Very close to finishing my review and analysis of Jealousy Incarnate! Let me know if you wanna be tagged when it's live! #kdrama
