#through the darkness kdrama

[ofredribbonsandpreciousgems]

For the fans of crime thriller shows or for fans of Kim Nam Gil, Through the Darkness is a must watch...I was rewatching it recently and I can wholeheartedly say it's written and made so well! The actors did a splendid job and the writing of the show is chef's kiss.. absolutely worth watching

Thoroughly enjoyed and loved “Through the Darkness” and the production quality ⭐️ Fabulously performed, written and executed ✨👏🏽 (Special kudos to the actors performing the serial killers! They were skillfully villainous and horrifying!) 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Especially loved the filter/colours and the angling of the shots - which reminded me quite a bit of “The Guest” in terms of angles and staging choices - and how wonderfully they utilised that technique to make scenes more intimate and poignant, to highlight the stark - or stoically accepting - emotions of the characters❣️ The clean and “simple” framings were simply fantastic!

Loved all the characters and particularly supporting character journalist-Chae 😍🤩 So pretty and principled❤️‍🔥

But what is it with SBS crime dramas and their characters’ un-shippable vibes? 😅🤔 To paraphrase the title of a fascinating article, “Everyone is Beautiful and an ‘Aroace’ Super-workaholic”! (“Everyone is Beautiful and No One is Horny” by Blood Knife)

(Except for our illustrious Team Leader Kook, who was canonically, happily married - offscreen - with children! A rarity these days). Not saying that is an issue per se, but give this pathetic shipping fangirl some crumbs somewhere?!

I wanted to ship someone so badly - for headcanon’s sake - but they made it so difficult 🤪🧐 (Not that I watched these type of shows - I know there will be none - for the romance/chance at shipping but still…)

I encountered this similar problem with “Nobody Knows”, and I am quite sure the performers not being my preferences (or fanciable to me) is NOT the only reason I had a hard time trying to come up with shipping feels, because I had a bit of shipping fun - as ephemeral as it was - with “The Good Detective” and most of the performers were not inspiring much feels either, but I still definitively shipped them while watching the drama. That said, I much prefer TtD as a show than TGD though both are excellent in different ways.

Ah, made me miss “The Guest” and the feels - and fixation - they inspired and provoked ❤️‍🔥😭 Also made me appreciate and thankful for the production even more each turn❣️ (I love TG for the writing, commentaries and stories too, not just the “other things” 😅🥰🥹☺️)

im starting through the darkness

So far rly good, just hope for it to suddenly get rly gay cus im desperate for more homoerotic kdrama thrillers to be delulu over

[botherkupo]

Kdrama fans, I come with thouhjts yet again. Through the darkness was really good (at least if you enjoy crime thrillers). Like it was just really done well and the acting was fantasytic. I wouldn’t mind a season 2, but Im thinking they probably won’t since it felt wrapped up pretty nicely

But after that all that drama, I was like okay cheer up time. I need something fun fun

So I’m watching fiery priest again for like the 3rd time. It is def one of my favs. They’re all so stupid snd funny, and then you get thunked with emotions, and then you’re giggling out loud again. Beautiful stuff. Dramedy to the max

restarting kdrama night with my mom this year, so if anyone has any good kdrama crime/lawyer recs, let me know! she likes procedurals and crime - we've previously watched through the darkness, taxi driver, while you were sleeping, and he is psychometric in that genre. i'm trying to find a drama that i haven't watched that much of, that's maybe lesser known.

F*CK WE'RE BACK TO CRYING AGAIN

[herdeviousins]

What will be left with? Our hearts break into pieces while looking into the darkness, so how can we fill that void? I also thought long and hard about it. But you know, no cigarettes or drinks can fill that void.

4 dramas to watch on blustery fall evenings

Those of you who follow the podcast know that I am a huge fan of fall. And the second the fall vibes roll in, I start watching mystery/suspense TV chock full of serial killers, murder, and angst. I am an equal opportunity watcher and will watch anything (from any country) that gives me that murder mystery feel, but this list will specifically be some of my recent favorites from South…
