Korean GLs I'd Watch...

Let's try to manifest a world where some of the biggest Korean actresses were cast in major full-length GL kdramas.

COP + CRIMINAL

Esom (Because This Is My First Life) and Lee Da-hee (Search: WWW) play partners and besties, who both fall for their respective suspects for a crime spree against the patriarchy. (Think: Evening the pay gap at a major company; exposing scandals of sexist politicians; and chemically castrating sex offenders). Esom's love interest is Park Eun-bin (Extraordinary Attorney Woo), and Da-hee's love interest is Seo Yea-ji (It's Okay to Not Be Okay). It's a romantic crime thriller.

FRIENDS to LOVERS

Seol In-ah (Business Proposal) plays a new-money rich girl who hires a former old-money rich girl, played by Yoo In-na (Touch Your Heart), to be her personal assistant out of pity, but pretends she doesn't know her backstory. And Yoo helps Seol navigate rich society. Their conflict is that Seol's family bankrupted Yoo's family, and is getting the life Yoo was supposed to have, including the fiancee, the job, and the house. It's a sweet romantic comedy.

BOSS + EMPLOYEE

Kim Ji-won (Fight My Way) starts a job at a family law firm and works hard to get one of the partners, played by Son Ye-jin (Crash Landing on You), to be her mentor, but only because she wants her job. She starts off as a frenemie before Ye-Jin's hard edges rub off, and Ji-won develops a crush. Their obstacles are that Ye-Jin is married and in the closet, and Ji-won might be too ambitious to let go of her goals. It's a slow-burn romantic legal drama.

COOL GIRL + DORK

Park Shin-hye (Heirs & Pinocchio) plays a cold fashion house designer who hires an unlikely candidate to be her muse, played by Moon Ga-young (True Beauty). And what starts off as a toxic relationship blooms into a supportive one. Park Bo-young (Strong Girl Bong-soon) plays her head of design, who befriends Ga-young's bestie-turned-manager, played by Kim Seul-gi (Oh My Ghostess). They're the softer side couple. It's a romantic workplace dramedy.

FRIENDS to ENEMIES to LOVERS

Seo Hyun-jin (Why Her?) and Gong Hyo-jin (When the Camellia Blooms) were friends in college, but they had a falling out after a misunderstanding about a guy. They have a tense reunion as adults when Hyo-jin is setting up her nuptials at the wedding hall Hyun-jin manages. It's a slowburn romantic drama.

ONE-SIDED OBSESSION

Shin Min-a (Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha) plays the wife of a very powerful and abusive man and Hwang Jung-eum (She Was Pretty) plays the maid who is secretly in love with her and helps her escape. They go to Jung-eum's hometown where everyone assumes she's bringing her girlfriend home for the first time, because she didn't have the heart to tell them she got dumped after running away to be with her. Min-a decides to pretend to be the woman to pay her back, and they fall in love. The conflict being when Jung-eum's ex, played by Park Min-young (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim), returns to get her back.

Kdrama: Zombie Detective (2020)

I’d like to remind everyone if you are having Byeon WooSeok withdrawals after Lovely Runner … don’t forget about Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency.

Cause he was great in that.

Everyone was great in that. It’s a cute feel good romance with enough political intrigue to create some excitement and tension for the various characters and love interests.

And don’t forget Park Ji Hoon is in it too (he was my fav).

Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency

I’ve seen numerous Joseon K-dramas with all the royal rumble. Flower Crew is one of the few with an interesting storyline. It still links to the Joseon royalty (they’re always full of political and romantic drama anyway), but a marriage agency? Oh wow! Arranged marriages are nothing new in that period, but the fusion concept is at least refreshing for an overused historical period.

(Secret Royal Inspector and Joy, as well as Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung, are in the same "oh wow" league.)

And... lots of eye candy here. 😉

20 Most Anticipated K dramas to watch in 2024

Without a single doubt 2023 has been a prosperous year for us Kdrama fans. Starting from Crash Course in Romance in January 2023 to Gyeongseong Creature in December, the entire year of 2023 has brought us several unique stories, fantastic plots, sometimes sad endings and sometimes fairly-tale like “happily ever after”. 

Even though there were a fair amount of Korean Dramas that were disappointing in 2023, but trust me when I say it, 2024 is certainly not going to disappoint you at all. Even when 2023 has delivered back to back hits like The Glory 2, Good Bad Mother, Moving and many more, 2024 stores sequels to hit kdramas along with some fresh new stories ready to blow us kdrama fans out of our minds.  

So, without wasting any more time, let’s get into the list.

20 K dramas to watch in 2024

1. Squid Game 2

Episodes: 6 (Not confirmed yet)

Expected release date: Around October 2024

Genre: Thriller, action, mystery

Squid Game redefined the place of Korean Dramas in the global entertainment industry. This drama became the first non-English act to win six Emmy awards as well as gained the title of the most watched Netflix series ever. And to level up the death game even more, Squid Game season 2 is all set to be released in October 2024. 

This season promises Eight additional cast members, making the anticipation even more exciting. So, are you ready to witness this intense gory thriller in 2024 or not?   

2. Marry My Husband

Episodes: 16

Release date: 1st January 

Genre: Drama, Romance, Fantasy  

This fantasy romance then takes us 10 years back before Kang Ji Won was even married. While she gets to choose a new life for herself, we get to enjoy this star studded drama full of angst and romance.  

3. Aema

Episodes: 6

Expected release date: Yet to be confirmed 

Genre: Comedy, drama

Next in the list is the comedy drama Aema, which is all set to feature Lee Ha-Nee, Bang Hyo-Rin, Jin Sun-Kyu, and Cho Hyun-Chul as the main cast. The backdrop of the drama is set in the 1980 as it tells the story of Jung Hee Ran a top actress, who is casted as the protagonist of a movie titled “Madame Aema”. 

This drama will certainly be a fun watch with an intriguing plot. Thus, don’t forget to add it to your list of K dramas to watch. 

4. Everything will Come true

Episodes: 12

Expected release date: Not confirmed yet

Genre: Fantasy, romance, drama 

Who didn’t like Uncontrollably Fond aka one of the saddest k dramas to watch? Only recalling the amazing chemistry between Shin Joon Young (Kim Woo Bin) and No Eul (Bae Suzy), makes us want to scream and cry for the couple. But don’t worry, Woo Bin and Suzy’s upcoming Korean drama Everything will come true will have a much lighter tone with a sprinkle of fantasy to it. 

Woo Bin here plays the role of an emotional genie who meets Ga Young (Bae Suzy) and promises to grant her three wishes. But everything that’s free often comes at a price. However, we hope it’s not a broken relationship this time.   

5. The Trunk

Episodes: 8

Expected release date: Yet to be confirmed 

Genre: Romance, melodrama, mystery 

Gong Yoo is returning with romance and melodrama and it won’t be in your watchlist? How is that even possible! The Trunk is certainly one of the most anticipated k dramas to watch in 2024, not only because it’s Gong Yoo and Son Ye Jin casted as the main lead, but also because this drama is an adaptation of 2022 novel The Trunk by C.M. Castillo. 

The intriguing plot of this drama takes us inside the life of No In Ji, the head of a fixed-term marriage agency and Han Jung Won, a music producer. Both of them despise the idea of getting married but eventually fall in love as the drama progresses. Interesting.. Isn’t it?

✨️ MY FAVORITE KDRAMAS OF ALL TIME

Goblin

I might know every single detail and any scene by heart of this drama. I cried a river and smiled a lot with this one. Definitely a gem!!!!

Uncontrollably fond

If you haven't seen it you lost lots of things. I literally cried whole through the show. Both are my fave actors on the industry so whenever I get bored I just open this one and cry myself out.

MOON LOVERS

I will never quit saying this but, WE NEED SEASON 2. First of all I hate historical dramas but this one hits different. I didn't even watch hwarang yet but watched this one for 74937r9 times.

RUN ON

This drama is my comfort drama. Rarely touching each other, no bad vibes, full positivity. I think this drama's vibe is one of the best.

25 21

The way i sobbed on this drama.. ffs... good acting, good cinematography, good looking people... what can I ask for more, I KNOW WHAT. MORE EASY AND UNDERSTANDABLE ENDING!

The smile has left your eyes

the scenario, the feels and the talent of the actors in it is just *chef's kiss*

Healer

The kdrama which introduced me to chang wook. I'm so glad it did, oh god. I fell for him easily. This drama is one of the first ones I saw and definitely made me watch it for 84838493 times. Over and over again....

Itaewon class

It's on the top 3 list of my comfort kdramas. I love seojoon and I love long term success stories.

It's okay to not be okay

The topic and the message of this drama was unique and one of a kind. I absolutely loved it. ALSO THE OUTFITS OF YEJI 🤌🏻🤌🏻

HOMME FATALE

GENRES: Historical, Romance, Comedy

SUMMARY: A gisaeng’s son turns the profession upside down and finds a little unrequited love in the process.

THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING: Nudists, effortless charm, guilt, duty, monks, dancing, listening, bookstores, Thailand dreams, Joseon courtship, reluctant marriages, arson, perfect portraiture, and empowerment.

HOT TAKE: I was expecting this to be a strait up drama and was delightfully surprised that it also had a heaping helping of Lee Jun Ho charm and humor! Goodness is he just the best or what?

This movie also dove deep into the disastrous pitfalls of striving for the status of 'virtuous woman,' having fun in safe spaces, and supporting each other despite all odds.

An excellent watch--highly recommended!

My Man is Cupid. 7

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 8

Comparable to: Strong Girl Do Bong Soon (kdrama); Angels Last Mission (kdrama) ; Tale of the Nine Tailed (kdrama)

Usually I loved these fantasy type dramas but for some reason something was missing for me with this one. Still enjoyed it, but not the ‘oh my god can’t wait for the next episode’ type, just meh. I loved the storyline, it’s a great plot, but the writing, editing and unfortunately for me, the lack of chemistry between the main leads just gave it an overall ho hum of a series. Probably would have done better with a 10 episode series too.

DRAMA REVIEW | One Dollar Lawyer (2022)

One Dollar Lawyer wastes no time: we jump right into the tale of our low-fee lawyer, and see his eccentric ways play out first-hand. The drama excels at random offhanded moments of comedy, and that’s totally what I’m here for.

Namgoong Min, of course, is just having a grand old time and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by Kim Ji-eun, and their interactions when they start working together is superb. On the other hand, Park Jin woo is mostly known for his more serious roles but here you get to see him in full comedy, delivering some a very funny performance. Choi Dae Hoon plays the prosecutor dork trying really hard to be cool without realizing his honesty and hard work are exactly what make him one of the best characters in this show. Finally, Gong Min Jung shines as the smart and cool as a cucumber prosecutor, the perfect fold to her colleague and our lead's eccentric ways.

All in all, this was a drama full of nuance comedy, that really excelled when it decided to get more into the drama or thriller genre. Far from boring, dragged out, or overly violent, the cases were more about helping people in need (mostly people who society discriminates against), but we also have a bigger plot related to our hero's tragic origin story.

The standout guest roles go to Lee Chung ah and Nam Myung Ryul is what's probably the most heartbreaking performances of the entire drama.

I recommend it !
