Sweet | Lee Mujin (Business Proposal OST)

youtube

Spotify | Lyric Video

Korean Title: 스윗해 | 이무진

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

어쩌면 좋은 일이 생길 것 같아 It feels like maybe something good will happen,

그런 묘한 기분에 나 In that strange mood,

두근대는 이 느낌 멈추고 싶지 않아 I don't want to stop feeling this excitement

걸음을 점점 더 느리게 My pace becomes slower and slower

[Pre-Chorus]

스윗해 마냥 눈부신 햇살 아래로 It's sweet. Surely, under the bright sunlight,

걷다 보면 만나게 되겠지 We'll get to meet as we walk

Oh, 나를 사로잡는 니 향기에 Oh, for your scent that captivates me

걸음을 멈춰본다 I stop walking

[Chorus]

안녕 깜빡 눈인사해 멈추지 않는 이 설렘 Hi! Say hello with your eyes. This unstoppable excitement,

이유는 없어 안돼 말로 설명이 왜 이럴까 There's no reason for it but there should be. How do I explain it?

나만 설레는지 그게 너무 궁금해 I'm so curious to see if I'm the only one who's excited

Anyway, 언제부터 우리 시작이 됐는지 둘이 Anyway, since when did we start to become the two of us?

뒤돌아보니 모든 날 모든 곳에 너뿐이야 Looking back, every day, everywhere, you're the only one

Yeh 이젠 내 맘 가는 대로 To be continued Yeah, now as my heart goes, it’ll be ‘to be continued’

[Verse 2]

발에 닿는 길이 포근해져 The path that touches your feet becomes warm

구름 위에 있는 것처럼 One Two Three Like we're on top of the clouds, One Two Three

너와 함께라면 어디라도 행복해 As long as I'm with you, I’m happy wherever I am.

마치 계절이 하나뿐인 것처럼 매일매일 따뜻한데 As if there's only one season, it's warm every day

[Pre-Chorus]

스윗해 어제 오늘도 내일 다음 모레도 오직 너만 내 곁에 It’s sweet. Yesterday, today, too, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you’re the only one by my side

[Chorus]

안녕 깜빡 눈인사해 멈추지 않는 이 설렘 Hi! Say hello with your eyes. This unstoppable excitement,

이유는 없어 안돼 말로 설명이 왜 이럴까 There's no reason for it but there should be. How do I explain it?

나만 설레는지 그게 너무 궁금해 I'm so curious to see if I'm the only one who's excited

Anyway, 언제부터 우리 시작이 됐는지 둘이 Anyway, since when did we start to become the two of us?

뒤돌아보니 모든 날 모든 곳에 너뿐이야 Looking back, every day, everywhere, you're the only one

Yeh 이젠 내 맘 가는 대로 To be continued Yeah, now as my heart goes, it’ll be ‘to be continued’

[Bridge]

Wooh~ 시간이 멈추길 Wooh~ I hope time stops

Wooh~ 널 데려다주는 길 Wooh~ on the way to take you home

[Chorus]

안녕 살짝 밤 인사해 멈추지 않는 이 설렘 Hi! Slightly greet the night. This unstoppable excitement,

이유는 없어 안돼 말로 설명이 왜 이럴까 There's no reason for it but there should be. How do I explain it?

나만 설레는지 그게 너무 궁금해 I'm so curious to see if I'm the only one who's excited

Anyway, 언제부터 우리 시작이 됐는지 둘이 Anyway, since when did we start to become the two of us?

뒤돌아보니 모든 날 모든 곳에 너뿐이야 Looking back, every day, everywhere, you're the only one

Yeh 나의 사랑 이야기는 To be continued Yeah, my love story is ‘to be continued’

Zhou Sheng fell asleep. His head drooped sideways and leaned on Yu Hao's shoulder. His sportswear covered both of them and Yu Hao could smell Zhou Sheng's warmth. He looked outside the window at the endless winter night, the glass windows reflected the figures of him and Zhou Sheng snuggling together.

In this lifetime, he had never felt like he was this close to love. Even if this feeling was borne from an earlier emotion dwelling in the depths of his heart, at least on this night, on this whistling train, and by this person's side, this feeling felt as real as the existence of the objective world -- it was so real it left no room for doubt.

LET'S PUT UP SOME ROMANTIC SONGS.

My updated rankings/reviews of all the k dramas I have seen so far (up to 54 now). I would recommend any show I gave a C grade or higher, which is most of them. I bolded recently added shows.

1. Hometown Cha Cha Cha: An absolute masterpiece. It’s a heartwarming fish out of water story about a big city girl who finds herself in the quirkiest little seaside town. I wanted to stay in Gongjin forever. Grade: A+(Netflix)

2. Extraordinary Attorney Woo (S1): Delightful! Never have I ever rooted for a lead harder. She is the most endearing lead you will ever find. And the male lead is so so swoony. Grade: A+(Netflix)

3. Alchemy of Souls: The wildest of rides and the perfect blend of fantasy, adventure, mystery, comedy, and romance. The characters are just so lovable, you’ll never want it to end. Season 2 just as good as Season 1. Grade: A+ (Netflix)

4. Love To Hate You: New fastest binge of my life. 10 episodes and I didn’t fast forward at all. There were no bad/slow parts. Also the funniest KDrama I’ve ever seen. Just watch it. You won’t regret it. Grade A+ (Netflix).

5. My Demon: This show had me utterly enthralled, it was so mysterious and suspenseful and yet incredibly goofy and romantic. My new favorite main couple in all KDrama land. Yes it wasn’t perfect but I enjoyed it so much, it really encapsulated everything I love in a tv show. Grade: A (Netflix)

6. Business Proposal: It’s got every trope you can think of and it does them all to perfection. Plus it’s hilarious. Grade: A (Netflix)

7. Healer: This super romantic action mystery drama will keep you on the edge of your seat. Ji Chang Wook is equal parts sexy and adorable which is a seriously winning combination. Grade A (Viki). One caveat: I was very disappointed by a certain wardrobe decision in episode 3.

8.Her Private Life: Super funny and charming. The romantic leads have incredible chemistry. The premise is so good! Might be the one of the most rewatchable kdramas. Grade: A (Netflix)

9. Castaway Diva: Just utterly heartwarming. An instant classic. Ultimate underdog, redemption, story that teaches us what real love and family is. Also Ki-Ho is the new standard by which all men will be judged. Grade: A (Netflix)

10. Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung: Great strong female lead. Very good messages. Couldn’t stop watching. The most adorable prince I’ve ever seen 💜Cha Eunwoo💜 Grade: A (Netflix)

11. Bad Prosecutor: Absolutely thrilling and hilarious. It’s like a heist, detective, lawyer, action comedy that will keep you wondering who is outsmarting who? Super shocking plot twists. Amazing OST. Stuck the landing with a truly satisfying finale. Grade A (Viki)

12. Sh**ting Stars: Probable the biggest turnaround of any show I’ve seen (The “Africa” part was so problematic). However it turned out to be one of the funniest and swooniest KDramas out there. There are 5 couples and you will cheer for all of them. Grade: A- (Viki)

13. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon: The main couple is absolutely everything! Just fast forward through pretty much every side plot (they are not important) and you’ll love it. Grade: A- (Viki)

14. So I Married the Anti-Fan: It’s campy, fluffy, goodness, with a fierce female lead and a K-pop star enemy/love interest. 2nd fastest binge of my life. Grade: A- (Viki)

15. 100 Days My Prince: An absolute classic period drama romcom. Who knew D.O. could kiss like that? Such a great strong female lead. I LOVE a show with adorable, quirky, townspeople. Grade: A- (Netflix)

16. Romance is a Bonus Book: Might be the most romantic K-Drama I’ve ever seen. Nothing about the trailer or setup intrigued me but I’m so glad I watched it anyway. It was a truly beautiful love story. Grade: A- (Netflix)

17. Because This Is My First Life: This drama really does everything right for me… A slow burn romance built on mutual love and respect. Supporting characters who I genuinely cared about and had incredible side stories of their own. A critique of the patriarchy. Women supporting women. An adorable cat. Maybe a bit melodramatic at times but not too much. Grade A- (Netflix)

18. Start-Up: Exceptional acting, compelling storylines, intriguing plot twists, great cinematography, intense love triangle. It’s just all around high quality. Grade: A- (Netflix)

19. Run On: Cute, fun, silly and pretty light. I especially loved the supporting cast. Strange storyline but it was a fun easy ride. Grade: A- (Netflix)

20. Forbidden Marriage: This is a weird show, but weird in the best way. It’s like a comedy, horror, romance, fictional-historical. I don’t know how to describe it but it’s really fun. B+(Viki)

21. Soundtrack #1: Short and beautiful. I just loved it. No one does heart eyes better than Park Hyung-Sik. Grade: B+(Disney+)

22. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo: A bad-ass yet vulnerable female lead. The main couple just had a lot of fun together. Refreshing. Grade: B+ (Viki)

23. Doctor Slump: This show was a really nice journey of both mental health and romance. Grade: B+ (Netflix)

24. Welcome to Samdalri: Very heartwarming and beautiful story about love, family, friendship, and going home. It has quirky townspeople and Ji Chang Wook 😍 what’s not to love? Grade: B+ (Netflix)

25. My Lovely Liar: Creative and engaging premise, intriguing mystery, and a swoon worthy romance. A very fun viewing experience. Grade: B+ (Viki)

26. King the Land: This drama pretty much has no stakes or conflict and the main couple has THE MOST chemistry I have ever seen in my entire life. So if you just want to turn your brain off and be happy, this is the drama for you. I absolutely loved it. Grade: B+ (Netflix)

27.Law Cafe: This drama has so much to love, a strong/fierce/brilliant and morally righteous female lead, lovable side characters, steamy romance. But what I loved most was how the show spotlighted important issues like consent and abuse in nuanced and progressive ways. Yes it’s a fun rom-com but it felt like the beginning of a new chapter of more egalitarian storytelling which made me really excited for the future of k-dramas. Grade: B+ (Viki)

28. Not Others: A lovely Gilmore Girls type show about the relationship between an immature mother and her very mature adult daughter. It was a pleasure seeing them grow in their relationships with each other, others, and themselves. I want more! Grade B+ (Viki)

29. Cheer Up: Sports, comedy, romance, mystery, suspense, coming of age, this show had everything. The female lead was the lovable, feisty, driven, and brave. The male lead was adorkable, considerate, and sweet. It’s all very enjoyable and wholesome. Grade: B+ (Viki)

30. I Am Not A Robot: Zany premise but it was surprisingly pretty grounded for how crazy the set up was. It’s funny, emotional, good story telling. Great character development. Grade: B+ (Viki)

31. See You in My 19th Life: The shared experience of watching this mystical mystery drama week to week made it a really enjoyable watch. Not sure if it was totally satisfying, or that any of the couples’ chemistry felt authentic, but it was a very interesting and creative storyline. Grade B (Netflix)

32. Summer Strike: This show made me cry a lot. It’s heartbreaking yet healing. I’m still not sure if I liked watching it or not but it was a beautiful story of found family. Grade B (Netflix).

33. Shopping King Louie: Adorable! So many light fluffy feels for this show but it does drag a bit in the second half. Grade B (Viki)

34, Fight For My Way: Such lovable leads. Love the fierce female lead and adorable himbo male lead. It’s like a coming of age story but for 30 year olds. Storyline was ok. Second couple was skippable. Grade: B (Viki)

35. What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim: More PSJ is always a good thing. This drama did all the tropes in ways that didn’t always feel fresh, but it was very romantic and hilarious. A true classic. Grade: B (Viki)

36. Touch Your Heart: If you can just stick it out through the first few very shaky episodes, you will enjoy this adorable, fluffy, series. Grade: B- (Netflix)

37. Doom at Your Service: It was sometimes real sad yet ultimately a heart warming mystical story. Grade: B- (Viki)

38. True Beauty: Fun, cute, teen drama however, it’s a little too “antsy teen” for me. Cha Eunwoo though💜 Grade: C+ (Viki)

39. Destined With You: The chemistry between the main couple was absolutely sizzling. Rowoon was both hilarious and next level adorable. However, the plot and the characterization of women occasionally made me very frustrated. Grade: C+ (Netflix).

40. Suspicious Partner: Great story, great characters, attractive actors, beautiful romance, interesting plot, sometimes funny, sometimes suspenseful, but with 40 episodes, the plot was dragged. Grade C+ (Viki)

41. Crash Landing On You: The first half is GREAT but the second half is way too melodramatic for my taste. It’s a very interesting storyline, the main couple has insane chemistry, and there are very lovable side characters. Grade: C+ (Netflix)

42. Secret Romantic Guesthouse: First few episodes were a fun scooby gang mystery, middle episodes were super boring, last 3 episodes were crazy fast paced and thrilling. It ended well- I’ll give it that. Grade: C (Viki)

43. Dear.M: It was inoffensive and decently entertaining. If you like school dramas, you’ll probably enjoy it. Grade: C (Viki).

44. A Good Day To Be A Dog: The storyline is bonkers but very intriguing. It started off so well but the storyline lost its way in the back half. But hey, Cha Eunwoo + dogs, it’s worth the watch. Grade: C (Viki).

45. Angel’s Last Mission: Love: This drama was very similar to Doom At Your Service but it was more a bit more redundant with all of the tragedy and crying. I LOVED the chemistry of the main couple but I found myself fast forwarding a lot. Grade: C- (Viki)

46. Marry My Husband: Episodes 1-11 were phenomenal. Such an interesting premise with shocking twists and turns. After episode 11 it seemed like there were new writers who had never seen the show. Very disappointing but top tier villains. Grade: C-

47. Our Beloved Summer: I LOVED V’s “Christmas Tree” OST however I struggled to keep watching. Boring storyline but great acting. Grade: D+ (Netflix)

48. Heavenly Idol: An absolute hot mess. It was completely convoluted and just low quality but I also weirdly liked it. I can’t bring myself to rank it higher because I know how bad it was but I actually enjoyed it better than many shows I ranked ahead of it. Grade: D+ (Viki)

49. My Secret Romance: The story of a total screw up female lead falling for a manipulative, gaslighting, hottie. It was problematic yet fun? So 🤷‍♀️ Grade: D+ (Netflix)

50. My Man Is Cupid: Pros: many cute dogs, sometimes those dogs wear human clothes, cute ending. Cons: Makes no sense, not much chemistry, murder plot takes up too much time. Grade D+ (Prime).

51. She Would Never Know: As handsome as Rowoon is, I found his character problematic at the beginning (no means no buddy) but he did get a lot better as the show went on. I just ended up skipping to watch just the scenes with the main couple, which made the show way more enjoyable. Grade D (Netflix)

52. My Love From the Star: I found myself fast forwarding a lot through all the parts that didn’t involve the main couple and most of the flashbacks. Grade D (Viki)

53. Goblin: The age gap is too disturbing for me, like call the police disturbing. However, the Grim Reaper who is one of the most adorable characters I’ve ever seen. Grade: D- (Viki)

54. Extra-Ordinary You: I have never felt so betrayed by a second half of a series as I did in this one. All of the character development that it seemed to be leading to was replaced by a pretty sickening codependent relationship. Grade: D- (Viki).

Currently Watching: Wedding Impossible (I think I like it)

Dramas I’m Thinking About Watching: Gaus Electronics, Bad and Crazy, Hospital Playlist, Another Miss Oh, Oh My Venus, My Roommate is Gumiho, She Was Pretty, Crash Course in Romance, Soundtrack #2, Queen of Tears

Dramas I just couldn’t Finish (I’m sorry I tried): Today’s Webtoon, Once Upon a Small Town, Love in Contract, Hotel Del Luna, Kings Affection, Record of Youth, Behind Your Touch, Sparkling Watermelon, Tale of Nine Tailed 1938, Strong Girl Nam Soon, The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract

What are your thoughts on these shows? Do you agree or disagree with my rankings? Any k-romcom recommendations that are not on the list yet?

K-Dramas recommendations & short reviews

Because I've watched way too many to not make a list. Warning: I like romance and fantasy a bit too much.

These shows made me cry. 10/10. Five stars. Recommend to anyone. They live in my mind rent-free:

Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022) - Attorney Woo is such a wonderful person, I love her character. I can't say much about the representation, but I like that it opens up the conversation around autism & neurodivergence, discrimination and prejudice, particularly in work environments. I rarely like shows about law or lawyers but I was surprisingly engaged with the cases and the story. It deserves a second season. (The only thing I don't like about this show is they're pushing for a MinWoo and Choi Su-Yeon ship. Which huh--disrespectful.)

Hotel Del Luna (2019) - A great place to start with k-dramas if you like paranormal fantasy. This show has such a special place in my heart. I wanted a different ending but I am okay with it because it was a tight narrative. The main character is iconic (Man-Wol please step on me). The show has amazing sets, AMAZING costumes, an amazing OST, amazing and heartbreaking performance by Yeo Jin Goo. The main couple is so soft; like they're such good friends and coworkers and gentle with each other (eventually). It's enemies to reluctant friends to lovers. It's perfect for asexual viewers who want more than physicality in their romance shows. Cons: the secondary characters' goodbyes and backstories left a little to be desired. A few other nitpicks like Chang-Seong is the one to suggest the main character a new hobby instead of her just discovering it by herself.

It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020) - Also a good place to start with k-dramas. This show is a lesson in good narrative; this has perfect writing & storytelling. The cast is so good. The female lead is an icon. The character work I excellent. The mental health issues are so well addressed and it taught me a lot about mental health I wasn't aware of. Each small minor character plays a very important thematic role. (The villain isn't the best thing ever but she serves her role in the themes and plot.) The production and the storytelling with the children's book animations are just *heart eyes*. The OST is so good too. You need to watch this to understand how good a k-dramas can be. A must-watch.

Goblin: The Lonely and Great God (2016) - This is the most iconic fantasy/paranormal k-drama ever. A lot of current tropes were started here I think (including the weird k drama last-episode time jump separation of the main couple). This show broke me. You will cry. The bromance and comedy are amazing here too. Gong Yoo and Dong Wook Lee have great chemistry. Main female lead is so cute and her character is so heartwarming. The ending felt a bit rushed. The death, existential related stuff with the grim reapers and such is so good tho.

Business Proposal (2022) - Best rom-com ever! (Well, it could be gayer tbh.) It's my new comfort show. I already watched it twice. It's campy, hilarious, chaotic, iconic and messy in a way that feels like real life (but obviously played up for drama and comedy). Excellent character work. The love interest is definitely written by a woman. Gorgeous cast (Sejeon omg I have a crush, but also the others). It was too short! I would have loved another episode, and more of Grandpa and Ha-Ri. Warning: this has the weird kdrama last-episode time jump couple separation.

W: Two Worlds (2016) - A young resident medic accidentally finds her way inside the webcomic her father created. Like, that premise is killer. We have Lee Jong Suk at his finest here; the character fits him so well. He was born to play a lead. This show has amazing meta-commentary on writing, authorship, and existential crisis. The confrontation between the webcomic character Kang Cheol and the author is insane! The main couple is an epic pair. Would rewatch. High wump value. Cons: The second part could have been more swoony with the romance, Kang Cheol kind of became a bit cold. (A warning: this show also has the k drama weird last-episode time jump couple separation.)

Would recommend with popcorn, I rate them 8/10:

Crash Landing on You (2019) - Really good. The main couple has the best chemistry I've ever seen. It's not that much of a personal fave show, but still pretty awesome and will tug at your heart. It got a bit overly dramatic in the last episodes and again, has that k-drama last episode weird time jump couple separation, but here it actually makes sense. And sort of mirrors the separation and eventual unification of the Korean Peninsula. It was very interesting to see the contrast between North and South Korea.

Shooting Stars (2022) - Aside from the terrible, horrible, insulting Africa storyline (where the male lead goes to 'help' African kids with water scarcity, not even a country name is called, he just goes to *gestures vaguely* Africa to help goddammit he's such a beautiful soul! /s) There's a weird creepy sugar mommy wannabe side storyline and it's weird and out of nowhere. But the rest of it is good and campy and the main characters are so cute. All the couples are cute. The male lead is a cute disaster. Female lead is also a capable cutey but a disaster when it comes to romance. It's hilarious. I love all characters. It's fun. It's great. It shows a very interesting side of the entertainment industry.

While You Were Sleeping (2017) - A man and a woman who don't know each other have precognition powers and after they meet, they use them to take down a corrupt lawyer. The show isn't very heavy on the romance, tough the pair work pretty well together. I liked the main actress. Lee Jong Suk has chemistry with anyone. The male role was not exactly a good fit for Jong Suk. He's so much more naturally charming than the character. It's a fun show to pass the time. The found family is nice and all the characters work great together. The mom is great.

The King's Affection (2021) - I'm going to be honest, I didn't finish watching this. Ups. I got bored after episode 15. It's a very slow show but what I watched was quite good. It was just not a show for me. Having a bisexual male lead was awesome, I appreciate that he falls for the main character while he thinks she's a man. (Could be gayer tho, just saying.) Pretty good discussions and reversals of gender cliches. It has complicated parent-child relationships that are very well written which gives a lot of heart and heartbreak to this story. The political stuff gets very convoluted. I really wish the queer part was bigger though, and not limited to the main couple. We could even have poly representation! I still have half a mind to finish this but I don't know There are so many other shows I'd rather watch instead. (Boy, I really need to get into the actually queer side of k-dramas because the side I'm currently on is giving me crumbs.)

Lovers of the Red Sky (2021) - The premise was so cool. This has so much lore I like and the setting is beautiful and rich, but it also has so much lost potential. The plot is very weak in the second half and could be restructured. I loved the atmosphere, costumes and the actors and their characters: the blind cursed scholar nobleman, the female genius cheeky painter and her friend trio and the prince are all great characters. Ahn Hyo Seop is pretty good in it and looks very pretty indeed in historical costume (but the design of the villain creature he's possessed/cursed with is so, so bad omg). Great premise failed execution. Good first half but it went over the rails quickly. Still entertaining if you like historical fantasy.

Romance is a Bonus Book (2019) - It's a bit slow and could have done so much more with the female lead and her child. She's a bit underwhelming and her daughter is barely in the story. The second female character played by Jeong Eu-Gene was awesome, I love this actress now. Lee Jung Suk is always looking hot and being an excellent actor with what he's given; he's very charming here. He could have chemistry with a piece of wood and yet I wasn't that fan of the romance. Maybe it's just because friends to lovers isn't my cup of tea. There's a weird out-of-nowhere backstory between the male leads. The commentary of ageism in the workplace is a bit surface level (it's not that big of a deal for the company if you're overqualified for a job, the point should be that is an issue for you and your career, who is too good for the company). You can tell the writers really care about books; it's definitely a love letter to editors and an interesting window into the world of book publishing; you can feel the love editors put into making books. Bonus: the founding members of the publishing company have very funny moments.

Do no recommend:

King: Eternal Monarch - Couldn't even finish this. I was so, so confused. The dialogue, narrative and backstory make no sense! Everything is so unnecessarily confusing. There's no chemistry between the main couple. The king and the bodyguard had more chemistry. Lee Jung-Jin (playing the villain Lee Lim) & Woo Do-Hwan (the bodyguard) carried this show and are pretty much the only thing good about it. The female lead is sidelined. It had an intriguing premise but failed execution.

What's Wrong With Secretary Kim - Skimmed most of the second half. It's a mess. The love interest CEO is such a narcissist and asshole he wouldn't be able to keep a working, healthy relationship with his partner without some serious therapy first. The female lead seems to be repulsed by him most of the time even when together and even looks scared when they get intimate. There's an unnecessarily convoluted plotline about the main lead's brother and a kidnapping in their past. It has tonal issues and it's cringy rather than funny. The secondary characters are just a lot of useless filler. The female lead sacrifices her independence and dreams to be with the main guy. Just go watch Business Proposal instead.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo - The only pro of this show is IU. The romance went the undeveloped route. Cheap-looking production, with too many episodes, melodramatic, characters pivot in place instead of naturally developing; it's definitely a telenovela. The point that the female lead is from the future doesn't even matter for the story (should have made her a Goryeo historian instead of a random cosmetologist). Pass!

Tomorrow - Could not finish watching. Please, please don't watch it if you're dealing with depression, bullying or suicidal thoughts. Please don't. By episode 2 I was just screaming at the screen. Problematic? This show invented the word problematic. The supernatural task force that's supposed to save people with suicide risk is terrible at therapy and suicide prevention. They tell the person trying to commit suicide, literally on the edge of a building about to jump, that they should do it, that they're weak, they should just jump, go ahead! Like ... what????

Mystic Pop Up Bar - Didn't capture me by episode 2. Got bored. Some say this is better than Hotel Del Luna but I don't agree.

Abyss - It's a weird tonal mix. Would have preferred if it leaned further into the absurd (go all in with the humour or don't at all), the sci-fi or the murder mystery. Instead of just revealing by episode 3 who the murderer is, quickly changing the plot into a chase after the villain, even though he's so lame. But also he is keeps killing people and it gets dark. And then we cut to the main couple being silly and cute. It's so jarring. The leads have a great dynamic and Ahn Hyo Seop knows how to differentiate his characters really well, give them their own flavour., but in the end it's just a cool premise, failed execution. Very average.

Currently watching:

The Crowned Clown - Very interesting concept and gorgeous, gorgeous visuals. Plot drags a little. Has some tonal problems and oversimplification of politics. The best part is when Yeo Jin-Goo acts with himself haha. He's such a talented actor.

The Uncanny Counter - Get's a bit melodramatic sometimes but all four main actors are insanely good.

Tale of the Nine-Tailed - The main romantic relationship needs a lot more development, but the entire show is worth watching just for Dong Wook Lee and Kim Bum as brothers.

Alchemy of Souls - 6/10 so far. Currently watching season 2/part 2. Aside from the prince, I don't particularly care for any of the characters. Unpopular opinion but the main romantic pair have no chemistry. Mu-Deok has more chemistry with Yul and the prince, and the prince has more chemistry with Jang-Uk. The lore is confusing and inconsistent: it breaks its own rules. (Two souls in one body what?? when was this established as a thing?) There's not enough foreshadowing and setting up the rules of magic in this world (the Ice Stone comes up as a deux ex mahcina big plot point in the last second). It also drags; the episodes are too long. There's a lot of saying and ultimately the show doesn't deliver. The narrative structure is straight out of a fantasy Wattpad. The set and costumes are fun and cool for a fantasy world, and the first episode was great.

Hi Bushy! I'd like to ask how did you get into k-dramas/ c-dramas and what are your favorites? I'm currently watching Love between fairy and devil and I'm so into it!

oh man i've been into asian dramas since I was a little teen. like while all my peers were into anime i gravitated toward jdramas, before eventually getting into kdramas and more recently this past year cdramas. I think I love the stories and that they're shorter overall than western tv, so I don't have to keep being engaged over the years.

Narrowing down my faves is soooo hard but for folks who want to get into kdramas my recs would be (under a read more because I used a lot of gifs):

Coffee Prince - all time fave, just the best characters and sweetest story. The ending was meh but I adore them all so much, this will always have a special place in my heart. Also the OST still SLAPS. Also also I know I used the term my best girl a lot but Go Eun Chan IS ACTUALLY the best girl she is like my dearest friend

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon - MY BEST GIRL (yes i know what i just said) and my best pathetic man, adore them and this story. Kdramas have this fun genre thats basically romcom with a side of murder and I eat that up. Also two of my favorite actors ever

Twenty Five Twenty One - I have to rec it because those first 12-14 episodes were the best episodes of any drama I've ever seen. Just phenomenal. Might break your heart but worth it tbh

When the Camelia Blooms - see: romcom with a side of murder genre. also just adore everything gong hyo jin is in

Healer - it's got its problems but the identity shenanigans are top tier just YEAH

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - I know western fans might not be so impressed with the fact that the actress herself is not on the spectrum, but I thought the portrayal was very well done and considering how this is the first kdrama depicting ASD characters as the hero, it's an incredible first step. Also it's just so adorable and wonderful I even put up with my hatred of legal dramas for it. Also whales.

Her Private Life - prettiest main couple ever i could stare at them forever. i'm not a fan of the childhood connection plot but i accepted it for this, also Sian my baby boy

Goong - SO DATED NOW but it's my first kdrama so i gotta rec it omg. But arranged marriage enemies to lovers YESSS AND MODERN MONARCHY YEAHHHH

Moonlight Drawn by Clouds - the crossdressing trope is a big one in kdrama and i always enjoy it look im a simple gal okay. also i adore the female lead so much

A Business Proposal - kookie fun, just so much fun djkfhsd. Wonderful friendships and romance. Thank god this aired while 2521 was on air cause i don't know how i would have survived tbh

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo - JUST THE CUTEST MAIN LEADS LIKE GOSH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

Those are the ones off the top of my head I have to admit I am BEHIND and i don't always finish a drama, because tbh it's really a mixed bag and they can be good or absolute garbage but depends on your interests. I tend to gravitate towards romance genres but theres a lot of intrigue and mystery and action and melodrama there's really something for everyone. And not everyone will agree with each other on it but still

I'm new to cdramas but I really loved Love Between Fairy and Devil, stellar throughout. I gotta rec The Untamed because my best boys but it might not be for everyone. I'm still working on New Life Begins but it's very cute and feel good.

Give me more recs btw! I love them!

#i havent watched jdramas in years so my recs for that would all be like ten years old at this point dkfjds #there's so many more i could have made an endless list i keep thinking of more but i had to stop myself sdjkfhdskj #asked and answered #Anonymous #kdrama #WHY ARENT THERE MORE GIFS OF COFFEE PRINCE FFS #looking for gifs makes me want to rewatch all of them ahhhh they are just so ahhhhh #i didnt put gifs for everything cause some of these i definitely have properly tagged so you can find them pretty easily i think #also disclaimer because they're mostly grossly heterosexual because good asian lgbtq+ representation and rights are still very much an #ongoing process but there have been a lot of good ones that have come out recently...i am just YEARS behind on my drama watchlist sdkjfhds

Business proposal 사내맞선

Review and rambles

3. Business Proposal (8/10)

(12 episodes) (2022)

[Ahn Hyo-seop, Kim Se-jeong, Kim Min-kyu, Seol In-ah]

Synopsis:

The series follows Shin Ha-ri (Kim Se-jeong) as she goes on another blind date in place of her best friend Jin Young-seo (Seol In-ah). The girls have hatched up a plan in which Shin Ha-ri goes on blind dates that Young -seo’s father sets up for her in order to get rejected by them. She does this by going all out crazy on these poor dates. However this plan goes horribly wrong when the latest blind date is Kang Tae-moo (Ahn Hyo-seop), who turns out to be Shin Har-ri’s boss. Kang Tae-moo is being pressured into getting married and despite Shin Ha-ri’s best attempts to get him to reject her, he decides to marry his blind date so he can avoid going on further dates. Chaos and comedy ensues as, Kang Tae-moo and Shin Ha-ri (using a fake identity) begin dating. It all comes to a head when Kang Tae-moo finally discover who she is but its almost too late and he is already very much in love with her.

Review:

The relationship between the best friends in this show is so wholesome. They’re funny and messy and so chaotic it’s absolutely relatable. Shin Ha-ri and Young-seo are absolute goals. They’re both head strong women trying so hard to be independent and successful but also secretly wish to be wooed (a secret I think most of us share these days).

The main couple themselves (Kang Tae Moo and Shin Ha-ri) are so sweet. While Kang Tae Moo might start off as the typical cold-hearted mean spirited boss, it doesn’t last all too long as he opens himself up in a way that is both endearing and funny. The series presents plenty of wonderfully light-hearted moments intermingled with drama. Shin Ha-ri’s family dynamic is realistic and its what makes her so likeable as a main lead. She has an embarrassingly loud but loveable mother and a brother who is simultaneously always there and yet never around when needed. Kim Se – jeong does a remarkable job of portraying Shin Ha-ri, as she is sometimes clumsy and awkward around Kang Tae Moo but somehow it’s never cringey. A defining moment for me in the series was that at some point both female characters found themselves in an embarrassing situation and both male leads stepped up to help without blinking an eye. More over the fact, once it was over, they didn’t speak about it again. They made it so the girls were allowed to keep there dignity. Many shows would not have given them such a courtesy. The show is filled with moments where the characters learn to lean on each other – a particularly endearing episode sees Shin Ha-Ri realising one of Kang Tae Moo’s fears and subtly helping him through it. She’s rather masterful in how she does it and you can’t help but love her for it. It’s sweet and one hell of a green flag moment.

An important point to note (for me at least), is that unlike in What’s wrong with Secretary Kim, the female lead here does not sacrifice her own ambitions for the male lead. Shin Ha-Ri’s an ambitious and exceptionally smart woman and in both cases (Shin Ha-ri and Jin Young-seo) they follow through with their own goals. It’s hearty and wholesome and a completely perfect comfort show. It does not disappoint in the romance or drama genre. I only wished it was longer. 12 episodes didn’t feel like it was enough for these characters and I would have loved to see more of Shin Ha-Ri and the grandfather bonding towards the end. Another time jump last episode but it wasn’t as painful as you’d think.

The cast and performance:

Ahn Hyo-seop and Kim Se-jeong give a brilliant performance as the main leads in this drama. But if you’ve been following this drama you might have heard about the secondary leads, Seol In-ah and Kim Min-kyu who basically steal the show at every turn. The actors delivered so well on the comedy and managed to balance it out well with the romance and drama. It was an all round brilliant performance.

OST:

Another great rom-com with an amazing soundtrack to match.

Final thoughts:

I personally loved with office romance over What’s wrong with secretary Kim? But that’s my own preference. There is plenty to love in this drama. Its sincere, heartfelt comedy that will melt your heart. It’s got some brilliant characters with great depth and the relationships in this are all top tier. From Shin Ha-ri’s relationships with Young-seo, to that she shares with her family and Kang Tae-moo, it will leave you wanting more. As I said 12 episodes was just not enough.

Hey I'm actually taking you up on the Asian film recommendations. Any genre except outright horror is a go! (:

You've come to the right person (I abhor horror and would never recommend that to anyone)! <3

I will preface this by saying that everyone should watch Fullmetal Alchemist if they haven't already LOL it truly the best anime ever. 10 stars for Arakawa! My second-ranked anime is Naruto, but Kishimoto's depictions of females is laughable at best and downright sexist at worst lmao. I recently binged Spy x Family too, which I really enjoyed!

Off the top of my head, some recommendations I have are:

Ghibli films (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for all tbh, Ghibli never disappoints): Kiki's Delivery Service Whisper of the Heart Howl's Moving Castle Spirited Away Castle in the Sky and the usual suspects :) honorary mention goes to Kimi no na Wa because I was a total wreck on the plane watching that show (and I got to visit the iconic staircase irl that inspired that scene this year, which was a real treat!).

Dramas: 花より男子 Hana Yori Dango (aka Boys Over Flowers; there are also Korean and Taiwanese adaptations of the same) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Goong/Princess Hours (a real Korean classic, also the cast is so attractive) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ King of Baking 🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞 Vagabond (not horror, but there are elements of thriller! the budget for this was insane lmao and it had me so on edge I had to go through the episodes at 1.5x speed hahaha) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Witch at Court ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Business Proposal (had such a fun time bingeing this one with @tsaritsa) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Familiar Wife ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extraordinary Attorney Woo ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shooting Stars (the male lead is so my type lmao) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Little Women (both the movie directed by Greta Gerwig, and the k-drama that came out not too long ago haha!!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tearjerkers (includes both films and dramas; this is going to be a long list because this is my ultimate guilty pleasure):

Japanese *1リットルの涙 1 Litre of Tears (warning: the title lives up to its name. make sure tissues are accessible at all times) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Midnight Sun (there is a drama and movie available; the drama lead is played by YUI, who sang FMA's 'Again'!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Koizora (translates to 'Sky of Love') ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Rainy Days ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Korean A Millionaire's First Love ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ No Breathing (my friend and I walked out of the cinema drenched in tears lmao the actors really ate and left no crumbs) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beethoven's Virus (@nightofnyx8 I feel like you would love this, plus the OST makes me cry every time...) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 200 Pounds Beauty ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Taiwanese 那些年 (Na Xie Nian / Those Bygone Years -- I think the official English title was 'The Apple of my Eye') ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our Times / 我的少女時代 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As an aside, the movie adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin was actually stellar and the only film adaptation of anime that I personally deem acceptable (let's not talk about the FMA movies... 😂). Another one that will always hold dear to my heart is Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Cloud was my very first kid-crush before I even knew what that was lmao).

I'm sure everyone has heard of Everything Everywhere All at Once by now -- that was truly spectacular and wacky, I loved it!

Lowkey obliged to recommend Crazy Rich Asians since it was filmed in my hood, but if I'm being brutally honest this movie was probably a 5/10 at best for my bf and I lol, I personally preferred Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby (10 ⭐️s from me). Speaking of Constance Wu, Fresh Off the Boat was really funny (also available on Disney+ I think)!

Most of these should be available on Netflix, if not Youtube/other random online sources should work (and generally have subtitles as well)! Most if not all of the above have AMAZING OSTs as well :')

Happy watching, dearest! 💕 and of course if anyone has any further recs feel free to drop them :)

#asks #films #dramas #recs #as bong joon ho said #'Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles #you will be introduced to so many more amazing films'

My Favorite Non-Fantasy Rom-Com K-Dramas

This may be my hardest list to compile since I tend to prefer my K-Dramas with some fantasy elements to them. What can I say? It helps with the escapism.

The dramas featured on this basically can’t have any fantasy or sci-fi elements (I’ll give leeway for fictional regions though). Basically, no time travel, robots/ai, magic, universe hopping, ghosts, Gumiho, vampires, etc.

Business Proposal

I’m starting off with a K-Drama from this year that I fell in love with! It’s on Netflix and it’s 100% worth the watch, it’s also got great re-watch-ability!

This is about Kang Tae-moo who, in order to appease his grandfather, agreed to go on a blind date. He was supposed to meet Ha-ri's best friend, Yeoung-seo, but she enlists Ha-ri to scare him away (like all of her other blind dates). On the blind date, she is shocked to discover that the guy her best friend was supposed to see is the CEO of the company that she works. Despite her best efforts to chase him away and even after being exposed as not Yeong-so (though she still doesn't reveal who she really is), he decides that she's perfect to play the role of his girlfriend so as to stop his grandfather from setting him up on blind dates.

This is a hilarious drama with plenty of romantic fluff. It's basically a rich guy-poor girl romance, both the main lead couple and the second lead couple will deliver plenty of laughs and romantic fluff. This is pretty much just a wonderful light-hearted romp with wholesome friendships between the individuals in both couples.

Shopping King Louie (aka Shopaholic Louis)

I really wasn’t kidding when I said that I'll always recommend this show. This drama is a very light-hearted show that's just heart-warming. Really, my only complaint is the love triangle that they tried to shoehorn in, but honestly it seems like most things have love triangles.

Anyway, this is a super adorable and sweet show about a 3rd gen. chaebol heir who is super sheltered and ends up being thrown into the “real world” with amnesia while going to visit his grandmother in Korea. He’s taken under the wing of Bok-shil who is in Seoul in search of her younger brother Bok-nam as she finds Louie wearing her brother’s clothes and thinks that somewhere in his forgotten memories he'll have clues to help her find Bok-nam.

This show is just pure romantic fluff that’ll have you smiling and feeling soft. Louie is a loyal and protective puppy to Bok-shil and she’s a saint, their friendship and romance is just so soft and wholesome. This show also has a great OST (in my opinion) and I loved the song choices that they made (especially when it came to the ones that were used as episode titles).

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo

This is a cute sports related drama where both leads are in some sport. The male lead is a swimmer and Bok-joo is…well a weightlifter. This drama has two of my favorite tropes, being “met as kids” and “friends to lovers.”

There’s a wholesome friendship between the romantic leads, with them being really supportive of one another. There’s also the great friendship between Bok-joo and her friends.

Even if you’re a person doesn’t really like sports related stuff (like me), this show is still 100% worth watching! It’s really hilarious, cute and heartwarming ❤️

My Strange Hero

This is a K-Drama about a young adult going back to the private high school that he was expelled from due to allegations of bullying (which he wasn’t guilty of). He’s there planning to bring down the school’s corruption and enact a good-guy kind of revenge. There, he meets his high school crush who is now his teacher.

I’ll admit that I was hesitant to watch this for a long time because I do not like romances between student + teacher. That being said, this didn’t feel wrong because they were both adults and it was handled well (in my opinion).

This drama is funny, heart-warming, inspiring (to me, as someone who wants to be a teacher) and cute.

Café Minamdang

Another Seo In-guk drama and a recent one at that! I almost said “I’m honestly not sure if this really qualifies as a realistic kdrama” and then I remembered that this list is only meant for non-fantasy/sci-fi dramas and realism isn't relevant at all, so this counts!

This drama is based on a webtoon (which I haven’t read). It’s about a profiler turned con-man/shaman named Nam Han-jun who is trying to find and catch the elusive serial killer known as “Gopuri.” He works alongside another friend of his who also used to work in law enforcement as well as Han-jun’s younger sister who used to work for a government intelligence agency of some kind. Originally working apart from law enforcement, Nam Han-jun and his squad end up working with law enforcement and Han-jun end ups falling in love with the female detective, Jae-hui, for whom the case is also personal to.

I personally enjoyed this show, I found it to be absolutely hilarious and I checked Netflix religiously to watch the next episode when it was airing (it's fully released now though, so you don't have to wait to watch the next episode). I don’t know what others thought of it and I honestly don’t care because this is my list and I can recommend what I want. I’d personally recommend it if you like your rom-coms with some thriller or mystery elements! I’d also recommend it if, like me, you like Seo In-guk! He was the reason why I wanted to watch it in the first place and he didn’t disappoint!

True Beauty

Another high school-set drama makes it on this list. I honestly wasn’t sure if I’d like this show, I was worried that it wouldn’t live up to the hype, but it definitely does!

This K-Drama is also based on a webtoon and it’s basically about a girl who changes schools due to being mercilessly bullied due to her looks (specifically her bad acne). Before changing schools, she turns to online makeup tutorials and eventually become good enough to be happy with how she looks. Once at new school she makes good friends and ends up in a love triangle.

This drama has some of my favorite tropes in it and it’s the first drama to ever give me “second-lead syndrome.” It is cute, hilarious and fun to watch (it also has a great cameo scene with the characters from Extra-ordinary You). This show has some of my favorite tropes in it, but saying which ones would spoil it, so I won’t say! I would definitely recommend this if you happen to like school dramas or if you think you’re even marginally interested in watching it!

Romance Is A Bonus Book

You’ll probably see me recommend this a fair amount, which is strange because I honestly never thought that I’d end up watching this show in the first place. This is because I don’t typically watch what are known as “noona romances” (for those who don’t know, these are shows in which the romance is between an older woman and a younger male). This show definitely sold me though! If you want to dip your toes into Noona Romances, I would say that this is a good place to start as the romance between the leads is soft and cute and the age gap is only about 5 years I think? Don’t quote me on this though lol

This drama is about Kang Dan-i who has been divorced for a year and supporting her only child, she's essentially homeless and struggling to find work. She's been hiding her divorce and struggles from her best friend since childhood, Eun-ho, and has been working as his maid/housekeeper (though he doesn't know it). She eventually decides to lie about her education level in order to get a temp. job at the publishing house that Eun-ho works at.

This drama features some of my favorite tropes, such as "met as kids" and "friends to lovers." I really loved the relationship between Eun-ho and Dan-i, especially the way in which they're super supportive of each other and are always cheering each other on. ❤️

This is a heart-warming drama that will leave you feeling warm and cozy. I often compare it to curling up with a good book and I will stand by that analogy (even though I definitely need to find new/different ways of phrasing it).

The King’s Affection

The first and only historical drama you’ll be seeing on this list because I’ve only seen 2 and the other one has fantasy/sci-fi elements because it involves time travel. For full disclosure, I actually haven’t finished this show yet. ^^; I’m currently on ep.15 of 20 though, so I’m getting there!

This drama is a gender-bent drama in which the female lead, Dam-yi has to assume her twin brother’s identity and role as the crown prince after he is killed in a case of mistaken identity (that identity being her own). Due to this, she becomes guarded and out of necessity ends up distancing herself from others within the kingdom/palace who do not already know her secret. Despite this, she ends up falling in love (again) with her 1st love who is now her teacher, Ji-un.

This drama is more high-stakes than most other dramas that I watch. This is definitely something that I’d recommend to anyone who likes more drama in their K-Dramas as it has government and royal family “shenanigans” (murder, espionage, bids for power, etc.). Amidst all of this though, the main leads have plenty of cute, sweet moments. I especially love the role reversal in this drama, particularly with Ji-un being in the stereotypical female romantic scenarios (ex. tripping and being caught by the male lead, except in this show’s case it’s the female lead!)

This is only the 2nd gender-bender drama that I’ve seen and I definitely “rate” it higher than Coffee Prince for a couple reasons, not the least of which being the fact that Ji-un handles the reveal infinitely better than the male lead in Coffee Prince. Basically, Ji-un is a good bi/pan boy and I stan him not caring either way about the gender of the person he loves because he just loves who they are as a person. ❤️ I stan this and I need more of this!! ❤️

Semantic Error

This a cute BL drama and sadly the only one on this list as I haven’t gotten to explore the genre very far yet.

This is a cute, short drama based on a webtoon of the same name. I’m not kidding when I say this is short, it’s about 3 hours long altogether, you could finish this in less than a day!

The premise of the show is that Sang Woo, a computer science major and very logical individual who is by-the-book, is part of a group project for one of his classes. The other members bail or don’t contribute and he decides to remove their names from the project and present alone, leaving them to get bad grades. One of these students is senior Jae Young, a design major. Due to what happened, he has to do another semester before transferring. Jae Young is on a mission to find Sang Woo and get revenge/payback and ends up discovering that Sang Woo is looking for a design artist to help him make a game, so the two end up working together.

This drama features the tropes/themes of “opposites attract” and “enemies to lovers.” It’s a funny, cute drama and the OST is really good!

Descendants of the Sun

This is low on my list for a few reasons (even though I really don’t make my lists with any ranking system or specific order). The main reason this drama ended up being last-ish is because I found it to be a bit slow in places and I felt like the will they-won’t they to be dragged on a bit too long. I’ll be honest though, that could just be my ADHD talking lol

That being said, this drama has a place on this list because it got me interested in K-Dramas and it was the first K-Drama I recommended to my best friend that she ended up liking lol

To summarize the show very briefly, this drama is primarily about the romance between a female doctor and a guy who is the leader of a special ops. team in the military. At first it doesn’t work out, but they get closer when the female lead is sent to the fictional war-torn region that he happens to be stationed in along with some other doctors. There’s a second lead couple as well, comprised of a female military doctor and the main male lead’s best friend and 2nd in command.

This drama has some great comedic moments and “bromance” moments and while it is largely realistic and doesn’t have any fantasy or sci-fi elements, it does have that funky 4th wall break at the end of the last episode which will 100% cause you to do a double-take.

#it’s my list I can recommend what I want #kdramas #kdrama recommendations #kdrama recs #business proposal #shopaholic louis #shopping king louis #descendants of the sun #weightlifting fairy kim bok joo #my strange hero #cafe minamdang #true beauty #romance is a bonus book #the king’s affection #semantic error
