Everyone saw Train to Busan before me, but I need the internet to know that I am here for Korean zombie shows in a way I will never be for American zombie shows. American directors shamble around their architectural critiques of capitalism; Korean directors just say, "Let's have the four-year-old call out financial trading. You suck, daddy."

Also, life goal: be Ma Dong-seok's character when I grow up.

My other favorite is Kingdom. Most shows overlook historical costuming when they design their zombie set, but this story is just as much costume as it is running and screaming and trying to avoid being bitten.

Drama rec masterlist | Drama rant thread (beware of spoilers)

First off, as with pretty much every historical drama, this drama is visually gorgeous! The colors, the sets, the music, everything!

I absolutely loved the first half of this drama, which is why I ended up being so disappointed in it later on, but we'll get to that. I want to start with what I actually liked.

The actors - especially the female lead - were spectacular. And having a strong female lead in a romance drama like this was super refreshing to see, and I loved it! They did all the usual damsel in distress stuff, though this time the roles were switched - fantastic. We have the male lead fawning over the love interest, which I also want to note that he does before ever knowing the Prince is actually a girl, and I love that about this drama because he really didn't care at all that he was falling for another man.

The plot takes off right away, keeps going for a good while, and it leaves you wanting more. It was going strong for about the first half of the drama, then started lacking as we went on, and it was only the last two episodes where I really felt interested in the drama again.

Also, one thing that bothered me all throughout this drama is the love triangle (if you can even call it a triangle at this point?). We have so many people all in love with each other - including our main couple, I think I counted six people all tangled up in the same romance at one point, and that is way too many people. It took so much plot time that it felt like we didn't see anything else but sad people in love with someone who loves someone else.

And I know this is supposed to be a romance (and that it's based on a manhwa), but I really wish it had put more focus on the political plot and the overall life of having to conceal your gender in a royal court where you have literally zero privacy. It came to the point where I was so bored with the romance that I kept forgetting to watch the next episode. I thought they would have done it more like Mulan, where the romance came second and her life as a prince came first.

Once the romance really came through, I felt they took away so much from the female lead. All of her life she has had to distance herself from everyone in order to protect herself and the few who know her secret, but the second she falls in love, she just... completely loses any sense of having to be careful.

If it had been like that for the entirety of the drama I wouldn't have minded as much, but I felt like they were really trying something different at first, only to completely do a 180 halfway through and morph into the typical kdrama romance with a million camera angles of the same scene, the weird slow-motion effects, and the starry-eyed couple who don't care about anyone around them but each other. If that is your thing that is fine, I don't mind a soppy romance here and there either, but it was like the characters just stopped caring about anything that they were first set up to be like.

So yeah, it started out as a solid drama for me, but it just didn't stick the landing at all, and I am so disappointed because I can see all that it could have been.

First Love Stories That Make Our Hearts Flutter

A first love story is like no other 🥰

First love stories are a popular theme in many dramas for a reason. Filled with a special kind of innocence and nostalgia, and brimming with excitement and sweetness, first loves definitely leave a lasting impression. If you’re in the mood for some sweet romance, check out some of our favourite heart-fluttering first love stories here.

Start-Up

Start-Up features a bit of a tricky first love situation. Seo Dal-mi (Bae Suzy) considers her childhood penpal her first love. Unbeknownst to her, Han Ji-pyeong (Kim Seon-ho) was the actual writer behind the letters while using Nam Do-san (Nam Joo-hyuk)’s name. However, Nam Do-san pretends to be her penpal in order to not disappoint her. What was supposed to be a one-time ruse ends up continuing and developing into a genuine first love.

My First First Love

My First First Love shows how a first love can develop after knowing someone for practically your whole life. Yun Tae-o (Ji Soo) and Han Song-i (Jung Chae-yeon) have been friends since elementary school, with Tae-o having a secret crush on Song-i when they were in high school. However, they pursue relationships with different people as university students. While dating others, Tae-o and Song-i realize they have conflicting feelings and experience a true first love.

When My Love Blooms

When My Love Blooms proves that it can be very difficult to forget your first love, even after many years. Han Jae-hyun (portrayed by Park Jin-young and Yoo Ji-tae) and Yoon Ji-soo (portrayed by Jeon So-nee and Lee Bo-young) fell in love as university students. Twenty years later, they’re living very different lives when they cross paths. Even though much time has passed, they can’t deny their still strong feelings for one another. Reunited, they stand up against obstacles together.

Moment of Eighteen

Oftentimes, people experience first love during their adolescence as they navigate the transition into adulthood. This is the case in Moment of Eighteen where Choe Jun-u (Ong Seong-wu) is a reclusive transfer student who doesn’t intend to make friends, let alone experience love. Jun-u ends up becoming closer to a few students including top student Yu Su-bin (Kim Hyang-gi). As they develop their friendship and open up about their deepest secrets to one another, they fall in love for the first time.

Extraordinary You

Extraordinary You features a very unique first love story. Eun Dan-o (Kim Hye-yoon) discovers she’s a character in a comic book and decides to fight back against the destiny written out for her. She meets a nameless student (Rowoon) and they develop a romance behind the scenes. It turns out that their attraction to one another extends from a previous comic book they were in. Despite the writer creating different fates for them, they continue to pursue their love for each other.

Love in the Moonlight

Love in the Moonlight is another coming-of-age story, but set in historical times. Hong Ra-on (Kim You-jung) disguises herself as a man in order to make a living. She meets the crown prince Lee Yeong (Park Bo-gum) when he is disguised as a nobleman and ends up becoming a eunuch. Later, the crown prince develops feelings for Ra-on believing that she is a man. Their love progresses as the crown prince finds out about Ra-on’s true identity and they discover that past events intertwine their lives.

Reply 1988

Reply 1988 tells the story of five friends and their families who live in the same neighborhood. There are many different first love stories for various characters, but the main one is a love triangle involving Sung Deok-sun (Lee Hye-ri), Choi Taek (Park Bo-gum), and Kim Jung-hwan (Ryu Jun-yeol). Experiencing love for the first time, things don’t always go smoothly for our characters. These romantic mishaps make the heartbreak all the more engaging. There’s also double the nostalgia since the show is set in retro 1988.

Still 17

Still 17 shows that it’s never too late to experience first love. Wu Seo-ri (Shin Hye-sun) and Gong Wu-jin (Yang Se-jong) have a fateful encounter on a bus when they are 17 years old. Unfortunately, Seo-ri is still on the bus when it gets into a multi-vehicle car wreck. After being in a coma for 13 years, she wakes up as a 30-year-old. Meanwhile, Wu-jin lives traumatized due to guilt about the accident. They meet unexpectedly again and fall in love for the first time without knowing about their past connection.

Radio Romance

Radio Romance features a first love story between top star Ji Soo-ho (Yoon Du-jun) and radio program writer Song Geu-rim (Kim So-hyun). While Soo-ho is very popular, he’s actually very withdrawn and lonely. Geu-rim is very passionate about radio, but struggles to get ahead until she succeeds in getting Soo-ho to host a new radio show.
