    I loved Bongseok's character so much! I wish he had someone to teach him how to control his powers.

    On another note, having watched Ryu Seong Ryong's (Heesoo's dad) previous movie Extreme Job, where he also opened a fried chicken shop and had the reputation of being "unkillable", I feel this series is like the continuation or prequel of that! Lol

    I waited to watch this until every episode was out. Currently at around ep 10 I think, just after the balcony kiss. It's been a while since I blushed so hard at an onscreen kiss and this was already pretty tame! Loved the parents' backstories! I don't like the boss, but had to give him credit for playing the matchmaker.

    I was tearing up when Bongseok revealed that his dreams were actual memories of him spending time with his dad when he was young. Imagine being bored on a plane and looking out the window, to witnessing a father-son lovely bonding time among the clouds lol.

    Came for the badass superheroes theme, didn't expect to be hit in the feels about the lengths parents would go to protect their children.

    I'm a little late to see your post as well.

    I watched Business Proposal when it was airing and followed some of the discussions on Reddit's Kdrama sub. It was one of the more popular dramas that gets talked about often, even now. Where do you normally see convos about Kdramas? Because I see this drama mentioned often on MyDramaList and comments on Soompi as well, when anything related to romcom genre and/or the actors pops up.

    I was a little bored with the drama at the beginning, but after a few episodes I was hooked with the development of the second couple. They have so much more chemistry than the first couple and just so fun to watch them together. I agree the ending was a little weak. If I'm not wrong, I read a comment that the drama was originally supposed to be longer but they decided to cut it down to 12 episodes, hence the somewhat abrupt ending. I just couldn't believe they planned for a longer series since there was barely any materials left after both couples got together.

    Overall, I enjoyed it and got me interested enough to watch the actors interact with each other on interviews and games after the drama ended.

    I know right!! It's just so weird when everyone else seems to retain all their memories but ONLY her who had the memory erased. It would make more sense to have everyone else, except maybe Seoha, to forget her, so they could start to know each other again from the new beginning. Feels like a lazy ending by the writer/director.

    Have you watched the ending of SYIM19L? What do you think of it?

    KTL is just pure fluff. I think we're on the crisis introduction part of the series now.

    I agree with your first paragraph. I think the story about her first life was introduced pretty late in the series. We spent close to 9 out 12 episodes focusing only on her 18th life, with a little introduction here and there about her other lives, but not much (if at all) of her first. Then suddenly the focus shifted to her first life, because it was supposedly the most important one that started all this. Yea that's not going to work well in an already shorter drama.

    As for your second part, I'm probably biased because I absolutely love Shin Hye Sun, but personally I don't think acting is the issue here. I see pacing as the main problem with this series (e.g. overuse of the pool and accident flashbacks). They are trying to fit too much materials into a shorter drama and had trouble with story/focus placements throughout.

    I'm usually very forgiving in regards to acting, because I think it's unfair when actors and actresses get the criticism even when they are acting as directed and followed the script well.

    One thing I want to say though. But first, SPOILER!! for those who haven't watched the series in full, because I still don't know how spoiler tag works here lol. I'm SO glad Seoha's dad turned out to be a fairly decent person! I was worried he was the mastermind behind the accident and somehow had something to do with his wife's death as well, but I'm glad that he was just a protective father and loved his son in his own way. I'm still not sure what was the reasoning behind the accident. I know the plan was just to scare them and it went overboard. But to scare them for what?

    Anyway, I'm interested in the webtoon as well now. Where do you find them?

    I don't know how fast you normally go through a drama, but this drama is ending next weekend anyway so you may be able to start watching soon. I'm dreading for it to end, but also very curious at the ending at the same time.

    We're going to get another Shin Hye Sun's drama later this year! I'm quite excited for that one, especially since it involves romance with Ji Chang Wook.

    I've mostly been watching currently airing dramas these days.

    • See You in My 19th Life (8/12) The pacing is pretty quick on this one since it's shorter. Things have started to unravel and I can't believe it will end next week!

    • King The Land (8/16) I'm sure by now everyone has gone crazy over that last scene on ep 8 lol! Consent is sexy indeed. Also, I really don't understand the hate Anupam Tripathi gets from this. His character was so adorable! I saw a comment on MDL that says his instagram was flooded with hate messages. The poor guy.

    • Numbers (4/16?) Haven't caught up with the latest 2 eps yet. Somehow I'm not really feeling this drama.

    • Dr Park's Clinic (8/12) Comedy and heartwarming drama on the life of Dr Park, an internal medicine doctor who just opened his own clinic. It's a good drama that I'm just watching very slowly these days.

    So this is how it looks from my end on !kdrama@chirp.social community.

    Yea I thought we could at least see the same posts across the fediverse, including those on mastodon, but apparently not yet. I'm still learning about fediverse, particularly lemmy, but I can see why people gets put off with it since it's not as easy to use as Reddit.

    Hopefully you can see my comment - I'm still learning about Lemmy. Adding my recommendations below.

    Cute and chill dramas with heart melting scenes:

    • Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
    • Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
    • Love To Hate You
    • Hospital Playlist
    • Coffee Prince

    Thriller with fucked up plot:

    • Crime Puzzle
    • Through The Darkness
    • Tell Me What You Saw
    • The Glory
    • Bad Guys
    • The Veil
    • Mouse
    • My Name
    • D.P. (Season 2 is coming out July 28th)
    • Big Mouth (I haven't seen this, but many people liked it until right at the last episode)

    Heart melting chill dramas with not at all fucked up slightly thrilling plot:

    • Missing: The Other Side
    • Prison Playbook (same director as Hospital Playlist)

    Generally Kdramas are less intense compared to their movie counterpart, due to broadcasting rules. Squid Game came out on Netflix, so it wasn't bound by their usual broadcasting rules due to it being on a streaming platform.

    Hopefully that's a good list to get you started with. Let me know if you need more specific recommendations later.

    PS: Squid Game 2 is coming out next year. They've announced the casts recently and have done some preliminary script reading. Likely to go into production soon.

    [META] Greetings From lemmy.world

    Hi everyone! I just realised sometimes you can't see posts from other instance's community if no one from your own instance has joined (or even posted/commented?). So I'm here from lemmy.world to say hello to the community, and also for users from my instance to be able to see this community. From my understanding, the number of subscribers you see when you searched for the community only shows users from your own instance. For example, when I searched for !kdrama@lemmy.ml it showed 0 subscriber, because there wasn't anyone from my instance (lemmy.world) who had subscribed yet. Hopefully, now it would show at least 1, if anyone from world wants to sign up. There were some discussions going on the lemmy.world's !kdrama@chirp.social community. But I realised that was a mastodon community where not only users from lemmy can't see the more active discussions on mastodon, but also ONLY users from the same instance (and apparently mastodon users?) can interact with each other. I created an account on another instance and it displayed a completely different kind of posts. My thinking is that since Kdrama is still considered a relatively "niche" interest, especially among lemmy users, it would probably be best to combine our users for the time being, rather than having a handful of users on every instance who'd prefer to lurk but nothing to lurk about since no one's talking/posting. Anyway, hope this is ok.

    Although commonly known as a baby kangaroo, a joey is basically a baby marsupial. So that can include koala, opossum, wombat, etc.

    I figured. If websites like unddit, ceddit, removeddit etc was able to recover deleted posts and comments, I'm sure the admins can do so too.

    But we're also a crafty bunch. There must be a way to destroy the sub where reddit can't restore it properly. Like how a user can mass edit their own comments/posts before deleting them, so when reddit restore them back they would only show the edits instead of the originals. Basically use reddit's own feature against them if we can.

    Even small thing like getting rid of the megathread and wiki would discourage people to go into the sub. It's information that people after, if we get rid of those then there's no point in going anymore. Slower death and a little anticlimactic that way though.

    I have no idea what to do about the not-so-frosty windows, but regarding your bonus question, that's just lemmy being laggy. Next time you refresh you'll see that you're subscribed. I had the same question yesterday and saw it being answered somewhere.

    I say transfer as much as you can over here, then nuke the sub completely. The source of knowledge are mostly here now and everything else can be rebuild. We are pirates, we don't yield easily and can survive anywhere.
