I've heard that it will eventually be on Netflix-- but no date yet. Hulu is the only way unless you want to use a different VPN service (nope on that). First 4 Episodes of Heartbeat are released on Prime. Starting to see a few more k-dramas there (mostly old). Hulu has Dr Romantic season 3! It also has Link: eat, love, kill. Which has made it to my personal top 5 best rankings. Loved it. Though now I have done a disturbing amount of web diving into how the legal system handles killing someone in self defense in South Korea. Warning and spoiler. It’s about a child abduction but it’s as happy an ending as possible for a story about a child that never comes home again and how a community struggles with all their “what ifs” that could have saved her. I bawled a river about the dad. The flipping serial killer did one thing right at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage81 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Hey everyone! 👋 DD and I just finished Itaewon Class…it was so good! This has to be one of my favorites. I’m sure many of you have already seen it since it’s been out for a few years. ☺️ Each character had so much going on and there were so many heartfelt moments. It was definitely more dramatic than I was anticipating and things started happening right off the bat and kept up all throughout the show. Have y’all been watching anything good?

I’m currently watching: Heart signal 4. A reality dating show! Two things I never ever had the slightest desire to watch before. Our whole family is loving it for some weird reason. Maybe it’s the 6 person panel aspect. Idk. Heartbeat. King the Land The Real has Come. I’m just so confused with the latest episode. She left and has just returned. Which I don’t really understand at all. 2 characters need restraining orders at this point but all the other characters keep acting like this is no big deal. Odd. I have so many questions about how marriage and family law are handled in Korea. I finished watching Numbers. I liked it. No romance in this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jann in TX Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 I started Dr Romantic 3 (Hulu)... FUN FUN FUN!!! and starts right where Dr Romantic 2 left off-- BUT it really upped the medical "GORE" factor-- I'm not squeamish but did look a way in a few scenes. They also added the lead romantic pair living together-- but so far (episode 4) only a few 'peck' kissing scenes. The name 'Dr Romantic' kept me from watching the first series-- this is a well done MEDICAL drama with some relationships on the side... 'romance' is more of a play on words-- kind of like 'Romancing the Stone'-- the main Dr is teaching the younger Drs and interns (LOVE LOVE LOVE his attitude!)... so don't let the name make you think this is all about love and relationships... Dr Romantic 2 is a re-boot with a few members of the original cast-- taking place 3 years later. Disney's parent company picked up the season 3 it may eventually make it to Netflix--but for now only on Hulu in US (I signed up for free month trial without commercials-- then I will cancel HULU as not enough content I want to see plus I do not like the interface-- too hard to find shows to watch!). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Taiwanese dramas a bit more interesting, and with more humor: Mom Don't Do That, The Perfect Match (I like Wu Kang Ren. He's also in Mom Don't Do That), etc. I'm currently watching The Legend of Bruce Lee on my own. (I usually have one I'm watching, and one I watch with my daughter).

Renai Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) The CDramas we've (me and/or 12yo dd) watched: Rise of the Phoenixes was the first I watched. Liked it until the end. Then I hated the whole thing. Meteor Garden (with Dylan Wang) was the first I watched with my daughter. I kept pointing out how some relationship things are actually dysfunctional and not sweet, and never stay with a man like that. Probably grounds to call the police in a couple of situations. I'm such a great mom, ruining shows. But we watched it several times before I figured out what to watch next. The next are in no particular order of when I watched them. Accidentally in Love - my daughter's favorite The Perfect Match (Wu Kang-Ren. He started dating the FL, Ivy Shao, after this and they are still together)) - great way to increase my cooking vocab and get great recipes. 😅 Rewatching (for the 3rd time) with Language Reactor and a notebook) Use For My Talent Mom, Don't Do That! (Wu Kang-Ren) - not for kids, adult humor Take My Brother Away The Legend of Bruce Lee Once Upon a Time on Lingjian Mountain (Xu Kai) Handsome Siblings Triad Princess - haven't really gotten into it, so haven't finished it Flavorful Origins - not a drama. More like a documentary of different cuisines in various places in China. 10-13 minute episodes Falling Into Your Smile (Xu Kai) - watched at least 6 times, by myself King's Avatar - another gaming one, no romance! Office Girls (on iQiYi) Lost in Kunlun Mountains (Xu Kai) - started out good, then, I don't know. The characters didn't develop well, seemed to regress. Weird. (Viki) Arsenal Military Academy (Xu Kai) - I liked the ML (Xu Kai) in this one. Character developed well. Watched more than once. (Viki) The Legends (Xu Kai) (Viki) Story of Yanxi Palace (Xu Kai) - started it a while back but haven't finished. These are all I can think of right now. Edited: Oh! One more - Well-Intended Love.

Vintage81 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 DD and I just finished a new show on Netflix...See You in My 19th Life. The male lead (Bo Hyun Ahn) in this show was actually the villain in Itaewon Class, so it was nice to see him as the romantic interest in this show. I had mixed feelings about the female lead...at times I liked her, at times she was a bit strange. I think the show had some pacing issues at times...some storylines were really slow to be resolved and others were so quick! Overall the premise was interesting (the female lead was able to remember her past lives and was reconnecting with people from her past in her 19th life). I'd recommend it for a quick, fun watch. (FYI...there is a somewhat graphic car accident that is shown multiple times. It's not too gory, but there is some blood.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, they often repeat them several times which can be bothersome. I guess these shows would be the equivalent to what is shown on network TV here, maybe? I can't remember the last time I've watched a network TV show, so I'm not sure what types of things they show. I usually stick to stuff on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, those sort of things, and the kdrama scenes don't seem that bad compared to what's shown in those places (or they're at least equivalent). (I've also watched A LOT of war shows and movies because of my DH, so maybe I'm just desensitized to gory stuff. ☺️) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage81 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 DD and I had our first DNF of a show...it's called Tomorrow. The star of the show is Ro Woon, which was too bad because I really like him, but the show was just too much. It was about a group of grim reapers who go around trying to stop people from committing suicide. We watched 4 episodes. We've watched many shows that have suicide in the story line, but this show wasn't just one story line, but each episode with a new person and new story. They attempted to inject some humor to balance things out, but I told DD that it was a bit much to watch all of these episodes. Plus, the writing of the show was not consistent...in the first episode they would make some sort of rule...like the reapers were not allowed to interfere in the past...then the next episode they would do exactly that and nothing bad would happen. Things like that were irksome and confusing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the research and planning and learning what all everyone else has done. I’m getting better at speaking Korean and pretty decent at reading it, so it’ll just be that much easier when I get there. I was planning on Korea this fall and Curacao this winter, but it looks like Curacao this winter and Korea in the spring or summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I just started Not Others (on viki) and it is both mature content and funny. Very much not suitable for work/kids. I decided to give my first Jdrama a try with An Incurable Case of Love. So sappy cheesy. It reminds me strongly of the old kdrama Playful Kiss. Which is basicly one long cringe-worthy event after another. LOL I thought Heartbeat series ended rather lamely. Not going to spoil if for others though.

Vintage81 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 We just finished The Inheritors (Heirs)...it was pretty good. This was the first show we've watched with Lee Min-ho. I know we should watch Boys Over Flowers, but I didn't realize it was 25 episodes! We'll eventually get to it...I know it's one of those classics. I also put The King Eternal Monarch on our watch list. My favorite character in The Inheritors, though, was the one played by Kim Woo-bin. I love the trope of the bad guy/villain turning good because he likes the girl. 🥰 Too bad they ruined it with my least favorite trope ever....the dreaded love triangle!!! 😤🤣 Anywho...it was still a fun show with all the crazy drama. On to the next! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jann in TX Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Hi from KCON Got a hug and a picture with Kevin Woo today at the Viki booth!! (He sang first last night) DD got an up close place next to Ateez at convention event and they interacted with her— she auditions for the “dream stage” tomorrow morning. Started watching “My Lovely Liar” (Viki) on episode 6… waiting for more to be released— fun/cute so far. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage81 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 We haven't watched a Joseon-era show in a while, but I scanned through Netflix and nothing jumped out at me. What do y'all recommend? We've already watched...Flower Crew, Rookie Historian, 100 Days My Prince, and The King's Affection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
