What Kdrama do you recommend for a newbie?
Hi, so good someone made a community. I know nothing about Kdramas but I would like to watch some. What can you recommend?
I would like something cute and chill wit heart melting scenes. On the other end of the spectrum maybe some thriller with some fucked up plot? (thinking in terms of what I use to watch in Korean Movies, read OldBoy).
Thanks.
edit: I watched SquidGame.
That should get you started... 👍
Honestly, my favourite to recommend to a newbie is Crash Landing on You, or CLOY as it is popularly known. CLOY has a bit of everything - it has the cheesy and cute romance, comedic and romcom moments, has some thriller and action sequences, and has great production value. It's perfect to get a taste of kdrama cheesiness, in my opinion.
On the other end of the spectrum, I'll recommend Kingdom. It's a zombie action thriller set in historical Korea. Great action sequences, has some political intrigue which is common for historical Kdramas, and has insanely good production value. One of the best zombie thrillers I've seen.
Thank you a lot. Ill watch both when I get the chance to.
Hopefully you can see my comment - I'm still learning about Lemmy. Adding my recommendations below.
Cute and chill dramas with heart melting scenes:
Thriller with fucked up plot:
Heart melting chill dramas with not at all fucked up slightly thrilling plot:
Generally Kdramas are less intense compared to their movie counterpart, due to broadcasting rules. Squid Game came out on Netflix, so it wasn't bound by their usual broadcasting rules due to it being on a streaming platform.
Hopefully that's a good list to get you started with. Let me know if you need more specific recommendations later.
PS: Squid Game 2 is coming out next year. They've announced the casts recently and have done some preliminary script reading. Likely to go into production soon.
Thank you 🥰
Extraordinary attorney woo. It's primarily about a lawyer with autism and has many fun loveable moments. It's so easy to watch too and doesn't suffer from a lot of the cornyness I see from other kdramas.
