I gotta hand it to The Heirs.

I've never watched a show where I went from instantly hating so many characters in the first episode to fully loving them in the last. Choi Young-do, Han Ki-ae, and Lee Bo-na were flawed, obviously, but watching them was more enjoyable than the romance bits sometimes.

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.

BO RA! DEBORAH

GENRES: Romance, Comedy

SUMMARY: When Korea's top dating coach gets brutally dumped by her long-term beau, she is forced to re-evaluate her life AND her approach to romance.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Impeccable wardrobes, rebellious teens, heirs to fried chicken fortunes, cursed engagement rings, reluctant romantics, unhappy marriages, galas, book deals, ruthless internet comments, best friends, tests of seduction, and exciting new love.

HOT TAKE: None of the relationships in this show really make sense as all the partners are all only about 30% suited for each other. There's some personal, emotional character growth which makes this a somewhat-relatable love story, but not enough to really feel like any of this was really worth the time I spent with it.

One thing is for sure, though: you can always rely on Chansung to play a total bastard of a boyfriend.

[binging-asian-dramas]

Bo Rah! Deborah. 7

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: A Business Proposal (kdrama); Touch Your Heart (kdrama); Yumi’s Cells (kdrama)

So it’s your typical cliché classic romcom with a certain flair to it with a stellar cast. Unfortunately, it does suffer like most dramas do nowadays. It starts out excellent and starts to decline towards the end. I suppose the writers wanted to draw it out more creating more unnecessary angst. Granted I do love angst to my dramas, but when it is inserted towards the end, especially the last two episodes (everything seemed way too bloated in the last one) I tend to get grumpy. Nevertheless the romcom still feels classic, it just depends on how you watch it.

 2020 (56th) BaekSang Arts Awards - June 5, 2020

Best New Actress (Kim Da-Mi)

   Aynı adı taşıyan bir webtoon uyarlaması olan Itaewon Class, benim listelerimde ilk beşe girmeyi başaran bir dizi oldu. Gerek oyuncular/ oyunculuklar olsun gerek senaryo olsun tek kelime ile muazzamdı. Farklı konusu, alışılmadık bir kimyası olması beni daha ilk bölümden içine geçti. Konusu tek cümle ile özetlersem tam bir intikam hikayesi diyebilirim. Yer yer aşk serpiştirilmiş, arkadaşlık ile tatlandırılmış, zekice kurgulanmış bir yapımdı.

Park Sae-Ro-Yi (Park Seo-Joon), babası ile yaşayan asosyal bir çocuktur. Babası Park Sung-Yeol (Son Hyun-Joo) yıllar önce küçük bir cafe olarak başlayıp, günümüzde Kore’nin en büyük yemek/cafe zinciri halini almış bir firmada çalışmaktadır. Firmanın başkanı/sahibi Jang Dae-Hee  ( Yoo Jae-Myung) , Park Sae-Ro-Yi’i de oğlu ile aynı okula burslu olarak yazdırır. Babası, başkanın oğlu ile yakın arkadaş olmasını insanlarla iyi geçinmesini tembihler. Ancak okulun ilk günü Sae-Ro-Yi sınıfta zorbalık yapıldığına şahit olur ve öğretmen dahil kimsenin müdahale etmemesine anlam veremez. Yetiştirilme tarzı ve karakteri sessiz kalmasına müsaade etmez. Zorbalık yapan çocuğa attığı yumruk ile bütün dizinin ve hikayenin gidişatını şekillendirir. Zorbalık yapan çocuk ise başkanın oğludur.

Okul müdürünün odasında başkan, oğlu, Saeroyi ve babası toplanırlar. Başkan diz çöküp oğlundan özür dilemesini ister. Saeroyi ise asıl özür dilemesi gerekenin zorbalık yapan oğlu olduğunu söyler ve dimdik karşısında durur. Bunun üzerine okuldan uzaklaştırma alırken babası da işten kovulur. Konu başlangıçta biraz ağırmış gibi gelebilir ama kesinlikle dizi dram ağırlıklı değil. Hatta yer yer komedi, azıcık romantizm var. Dram ise intikam ile harmanlandığı için içinizi buruşturmuyor. İzlerken yorulmuyorsunuz, heyecanla akıyor bölümler. Aslında bir bakıma yeni nesil kore dizilerini temsil ediyor bile diyebilirsiniz. Kdrama klişelerinden kopuk, bambaşka bir konsepti var.

İntikam hikayesi dedim ama gözü dönmüş, kendine ve çevresine zarar veren bir intikamdan bahsetmiyorum. Burada işlenen intikam, zekice kurgulanmış ve başrol karakterin hayatına ince ince işlenmiş.  Park Sae-Ro-Yi, intikam almaya çalışırken aynı zamanda hayatı nasıl yaşamak istediğinin bilmecesini çözüyor. Aynı zamanda hedefi intikam almaya çalıştığı kişiyi mahvetmek değil, ondan daha iyi olmak.

Diziyi o kadar beğendim ki, fazla üzerine konuşup tadını kaçırmak istemiyorum. Karakterler renkliydi, konu zekiceydi, oyunculuklar şahaneydi. Ve OST’ler inanılmazdı. Müziklere bayıldım. Mekan seçimleri, çekimler, dizinin kurgusu kaliteliydi. Sinirlendim, güldüm, eğlendim, ağladım. Bütün duyguları bana yaşattılar. Uzun zamandır bu kadar kaliteli bir dizi izlememiştim. Keza oyuncudan da bahsetmek lazım. Park Seo-Joon!!! Sanırım ilk defa birinin görünüşünden ziyade oyunculuğunu beğendim. Birçok oyuncu oynadığı dizilerde hemen hemen aynı mimikler, ses tonu ve tavırlar ile rol yapıyor. Park Seo-Joon ise role o kadar girmiş ki, sonrasında onu başka yerlerde izlediğimde inanamadım. Karakter ile bütünleşmiş, dersine iyi çalışmış. Hatta daha önce bazı yerlerde izlemişim ama dikkatimi burada çekti diyebilirim. Dizinin yanı sıra oyuncuda favorim oldu diyebilirim.

Yan rollerden de ufak bahsedeyim. Park Sae-Ro-Yi’nin küçük bir grubu bir araya getirmesi ile ortaya çıkan farklı karakter ve kişilikler dizinin kalbini oluşturuyor. Ma Hyun-Yi (Lee Joo-Young) grubun aşçısı olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. Trans bir bireyi oynuyor olmasından dolayı dizi yayınlanırken baya destek ve takdir toplamış. Dizi içindeki karakteri de çok başarılıydı. Oyuncuyu daha önce Weightlifting fairy kim book joo dizisinde, Book Joo’nun yakın arkadaşı rolünde izlemiştik. Bir diğeri, Choi Seung-Kwon (Ryoo Kyung-Soo), grubun hem garsonu hem koruması olarak düşünebilirsiniz. Mafyadan ayrıldıktan sonra Sae-Ro-Yi ile çalışmaya başlayan bu karakterde oldukça renkli.  Öfke problemleri yaşayan ama her zaman arkadaşlarını korumak için ne gerekiyorsa yapan bir karakter. Ve grubun gerçek beyni olan Jo Yi-Seo(Kim Da-Mi). Kore kızlarının standart güzelliğine inat, özgün görünüşüyle grubun hem yöneticisi hem en küçüğüydü. Yüksek IQ sahibi bu genç kız, bütün satış stratejilerini ve reklam çözümlerini üsleniyor. Bir miktar sosyopat olması nedeni ile insan tepkileri ve duyguları konusunda zayıf olsa da, grup içerisinde kendine yer bulup insanları anlama yolculuğuna çıkıyor.

Bir kaç yan rol daha var tabi ki ama hepsinin üzerinden tek tek geçmek istemedim. Özellikle Park Sae-Ro-Yi’nin okula ilk başladığı zaman tanıştığı bir kızımız Oh Soo-A (Kwon Na-Ra ) var. Saeroyi ne anladı ne kadar tanıdı bilmiyorum bu kıza aşık oluyor. Dizinin uzunca bir bölümünde sadece ona aşık olduğunu söylese de gözle görülür bir aşk izlemiyorsunuz. Nefret bir karakter. Her bölüm ayrı ayrı söverek izledim. Dizinin başlarında söylediği ve yaptığı şeylere rağmen, kendisine ve karakterine zıt bir hayat yaşamayı seçiyor. Ah bir de kötü adamımız, yumruk yiyerek dizinin başlangıcına vesile olan başkanın zorba oğlu Jang Geun-Won(Ahn Bo-Hyun) var. Kendisini Her Private Life dizisinde ikinci adam rolüyle izlemiştim. Oyunculuğuna başarılı demeliyim ki hem kendisinden oldukça nefret ettirtti hem de onun adına üzüldük. Asıl kötü adam ise daha önce bir çok yerde izlediğim ve genelde komik, sevimli rollerde oynayan Yoo Jae-Myung’dı. Kötü adam rolü inanılmaz yakışmıştı. Hatta oyunculuğu o kadar iyiydi ki, kötü adam rolü üstüne yapışmadan son derece profesyonellikle oynamıştı.

Ve final, diziyi sevdiğim kadar finalini de sevdim. Yani özetle, on numara beş yıldız diziydi. İlle vıcık vıcık aşk izlemek istiyorum diyen varsa önermem ama onun dışında herkese gözüm kapalı öneririm.

The Vane - No Break

Woosung - You make me back

Gaho - Beginning

Ha Hyun Woo - Stone Block

AGENCY

GENRES: Drama

SUMMARY: A talented advertising executive has one last chance to secure her spot at the nation's top agency. Who will she have to take down (and who will she have to win over) to make it happen?

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Empty cafes, binge drinking, pill popping, late nights, eccentric copy writers, cutthroat executives, spoiled chaebols, quirky kids, family reunions, perfect haircuts, cream buns, standing desks, and overdue team dinners.

HOT TAKE: I can’t say that I love advertising dramas, but I ended up rooting for my winners and happy that (most) of the villains got what was coming to them. I will say that I was a little perturbed that Lee Ki Woo’s character got so little screen time, but it just wasn’t his story, I suppose.

1. Goblin - The lonely and great god (2016)

When the talk is about fantasy k-dramas, there is no way Goblin - the lonely and great god can be missed!  This 2016 drama is undoubtedly one of the exemplary ones in kdrama history. It tells the story of a military general Kim Shin, played by Gong Yoo, who is framed and killed as a traitor. He, however, becomes an immortal Goblin because of the curse he receives from the almighty. The only person to help break his curse is Goblin’s Bride, played by Kim Go Eun as Ji Eun Tak. This drama also features Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na in two very interesting roles.

All in all, this drama certainly has the potential to become one of your most favorite dramas of all time and that is why you should give it a try if you have not yet. 

2. Hotel Del Luna (2019)

Till this date Hotel Del Luna is one of the most unique dramas to be ever made. From the plot to the characterization, everything is unmatched. This 2019 fantasy drama deals with the story of a supernatural hotel, where the souls of deceased people come and rest for a few days before they carry on their journey towards their next life. Hotel Del Luna is run by Jung Man Wol, played by IU, who is bound to this hotel in a neither alive nor dead state due to the sins she committed in her lifetime. The only way Jung Man Wol can break free is by seeing off the very last guest of the hotel. However, for that she needs some assistance and that is provided by the hotel’s new manager Koo Chan Sung, played by Yoo Jin Goo. The story unfolds one by one as Man Wol and Chan Sung solve various issues associated with the guests of the hotel, gradually seeing off the staff Man Wol has worked closely with.

5. The Sound of Magic (2022)

“Annarasumanara” – the sound of magic, is the most realistic fantasy drama to be included in the list. This 2022 drama represents a perfect picturization of struggles and survivals.
