I really loved that one.Finished Welcome to Samdal-Ri.
I enjoyed it despite it's barebones story for such a long runtime.
So many charming characters in this KDrama - it's just fun to watch them.
It's also quite funny at times.

Still depending on the story and characters for me a longer runtime is better, because it gives you more time to really know the characters and connect better with them.
At least most of the stories are built around one season and the good KDramas seemingly pack all of the good ideas in one season, without holding stuff back.
And most have a proper ending.
Anyone has any recommendations ? I have Alchemy of Souls and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha as the next shows on my list.
Watch Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.I've gotten into KDramas recently and I have yet to find a single one that justifies the 16 episodes length. Some of them are really good of course, but they all having pacing issues.
Dramas I finished (I watched most of these in the last 2 months outside of My Name, Your Glory and Squid Game):
Dramas I am currently watching:
- It's Okay Not To Be Okay (7/10)
- Crash Landing On You (8/10)
- Flower of Evil (7/10)
- The Glory (9/10)
- My Name (8/10)
- Squid Game (8/10)
Dramas I dropped (all in the past 2 months):
- Queen of Tears
- Vincenzo
- This is reaaaaally good. Just so charming and so much fun !

I probably asked this before, but any recommendations as to which streaming service in the US gives the most unique content? We already have Hulu, Prime and Netflix, and I'm thinking of subbing to either Viki (which we had before) or Kocowa+ for my wife's bday. But there's significant overlap and most of the comparisons I've found online are from at least a couple of years ago.
Also will be primarily using AppleTV/ShieldTV to stream, if that makes a difference (I know some streaming apps are trash or nonexistent on one or the other)
My wife has viki and loves it, added bonus is she can. Watch other Asian content. Can't speak to Kocowa. But with Disney plus really stepping up, bi think we are good
Question about Moving: are the author's other webtoons going to be adapted and are any of those a continuation with these characters? Or is this story pretty much done (I know there's no more webtoon to adapt)? I liked the series but man that rushed to a conclusion.
so not sure this is a spoiler but
it said in the show there was going to be a season two. Also they dropped a little Easter egg (with time travel kid) and apparently one of the webtoons had team up with two groups of kids
Oh they said that? Where at the very end or something?
I know that that particular kid they showed a cameo of is the main character of another webtoon.
Yeah , there were mid credits! After the end! Just like other super hero shows
Yeah I watched the ending scenes where it seemed like they set things up but I must have missed the season 2 confirmation.
It's kinda sad to me that it was released on Hulu where subtitled works go to die. LIke promote this to the new Disney + integrated subscribers and you probably get a bunch of people interested.
I couldn't finish it. That show was too much for me.Just finished Juvenile Justice. Holy hell, gut punch after gut punch.
There is a new series airing at the moment with him.Wrapping up Taxi Driver S2 soon. Not sure what is next for me after. Lee Jehoon is so amusing, he makes all these funny faces haha, love it.
Oh shit LOL.
Tell me if it's worth it, I'm also a fan of him.Oh shit LOL.Chief Detective 1958
This one? I looked it up. I might give that a shot next then hahaha.
Dude legit Disney plus is amazing for kdeama. Moving, flex cop, shop of killers and worst of evil.
Shop of killers has Lee dong wool and worst of evil
Has wi ha-joon
I feel you about Vincenzo, I know some hated because the plot was insane. But I love the characters so much. I'm willing to overlook much if I care about the characters
Yeah Vincenzo was kind of weird, but they did such a good job with the characters that it didn't really matter.
Damn, The Glory, My Name, and Squid Game rated higher than It's Okay... and Flower of Evil? Never thought I'd see it, but alright. Especially surprised about My Name, thought that show was really mediocre to me.
Some more recommendations that people didn't mention:
-Stranger
- D.P.
- Move to Heaven
- Extraordinary Attorney Woo
- Kingdom
There are more, but these are some of what I'd consider to be my favorites (people already mentioned My Mister, Hometown Chachacha, and Alchemy of Souls).
Having 16 episodes with often a runtime of 1- 1,5 hours per episode and not have pacing issues is physically impossible, imho.
Thinking back to US shows with 24 episodes each season, there are also pacing issues.
It's just what it is with such long runtimes.

And most have a proper ending.
The only KDramas that come to mind, that have almost no pacing issues are the shorter ones, with 12 episodes and about 30 mins per episode.
Hit the Spot and Mad For Each Other for example (if I remember correctly).
Here some recommendations (and some of my favourites):
- My Mister
- Goblin
- Moving
- Touch Your Heart
- Mr Sunshine
- What's Wrong With Secretary Kim
- Marry My Husband
- Her Private Life
- Hit the Spot
- Mad For Each Other
- Rookie Cops
- Inspector Koo
- My ID is Gangnam Beauty
- My Demon
- Scarlet Heart Ryeo
- Coffee Prince
- Train
- Secret Love Affair
- Alone in Love
- The Fiery Priest
- Live Up Top Your Name
- Taxi Driver
- The King Eternal Monarch
- When the Weather is Fine
- Something in the Rain (the first 5-6 episodes I consider as some of the best in romantic KDramas, but the rest might leave a bad aftertaste)
Yeah, that show is pretty heavy.
It's next after Hotel Del Luna which I have decided to start !
Just finished it. It was indeed very good ! The ending hit me hard even if the outcome was fairly predictable. It actually got me to cry haha. With that said, I now need something a bit more wholesome so I'm hoping Hometown ChaChaCha is a good fit for that !Excellent choice, there are not many dramas I would re-watch (since I rarely re-watch anything), but this might be one of them. Also has one of the best OSTs I have heard so far. Heize, Punch, 10cm, Taeyeon, Chung Ha, Red Velvet, Paul Kim and obviously IU herself. Done for me is simply amazing (MV contains spoilers so I won't post it, but man watching it gives me goosebumps). If you like the show there's also pretty interesting side-content about it on IUs YT channel.

Revenant was pretty good, besides the annoying CC subtitles.Watched Moving as I got Disney+ for Shogun and damn that was one of the better k-dramas I have seen in a while. Though for long as it was (20 episodes) kinda felt it ended right after they finally set up the story. Now have to hunt other k-dramas on Disney+ before I terminate my subscription.

Skip the second season of Uncanny counter. It's absolutely terrible
"Missing The Other side" on the other hand has a really strong second season
I really enjoyed that one, but there were definitely moments where the characters had me like "really bruh?"Watching "Revenge of the others". It's definitely not bad but the characters aren't making the smartest decisions.
I haven't watched enough to have an opinion on Uncanny Counter, but earlier in my kdrama career I started it and ended up not finishing the first episode.
Finally finished Beyond Evil. What a great show, loved it.
The leads were so likeable.
I will say it was a bit comical how many twists there were in it lol.
wow good timing from my end, just saw beyond evil is 'leaving netflix' soon! Phew!I liked it so much I ended up getting the Blu-ray set for it, probably my favorite tv show that was released that year full stop.
After you're done with Doberman, try Flex x Cop if you haven't watched it yet.
i had d+ in the past through my bro-in-law but he no longer has it so cant leech off him anymore hahaha!Flex Cop is on Disney Plus/Hulu. So definitely wait till you have some time because Disney Plus has some amazing dramas
